LYRICS:

Here we go
Now show you're right

Do me right baby
Do me right baby
And I'll do you the same thing too
Do me right baby
Do me right baby
I tried to make it just like you

I'll open up my door to you
But honey I'll let you know
I don't want no more
I'll tell you what I wanna do
Just give love when you want it
And I'll need it too

Cause if you want a love that's real
I can give you that
Do you want love or your friend
That's how I feel
I'll be right by your side
I won't listen to no lies
I'll never do you wrong
All I ask is that you

Do me right baby
Do me right baby
I don't need nobody else but you
I don't need nobody else
Do me right baby
Do me right baby
And I'll never search for no one new

Ooh, the man in you
Makes me wanna be a woman
Now let's start up new
We both have played the game of love
Now let's start out fifty-fifty baby
You mean that much

And if my love be for real
If that's how we do
Is it for a joy, fun or the long run
Let me know
If you're my only man
You have to understand
I'll never do you wrong
Just as long as you

Do me right baby
Do me right baby
And I'll do you the same thing too
Gonna do the same thing for you
Do me right baby
Do me right baby
I tried to make it just like you

Are you gonna do me right
Baby I'll do you right
Are you gonna do me right
Baby I'll do you right
Are you gonna do me right
Baby I'll do you right

So show me baby
Don't just tell me
Love me through the night

Do me right baby
Do me right baby
And I'll do you the same thing too
I'll do the same thing
Do me right baby
Do me right baby
I tried to make it just like you

It's on now
Show you right
Show you right

Girl, you got me giving in to your love
Every day when you're loving me this way
I'm so glad you're mine

Hey, you know I'm real real satisfied now baby
Your love
I don't wanna go searching, no no
Believe, there ain't no other woman
C'mon, let me sing this song baby

Do me right baby
Do me right baby
Just do me right
Do me right baby
Do me right baby

LYRICS:


Steppin' out the weekends open wide
Fill it up let's blast the jams and ride
While we're cruisin' around in the street
Listen up for the party in feet
Slap me five

It's alive
Ev'rybody take it to the top
We're gonna stomp
All night
In the neighbourhood
Don't it feel alright
Gonna stomp
All night
Wanna party
'Til the morning light
Runnin' runnin' runnin'
The set is hot
There's people wall to wall
Old gones young things
Short ones standing tall
Grab the one with the smile on her face
And hit the floor and stay right on the case
The heat is on
And the funk just won't leave us alone
Ev'rybody take it to the top
We're gonna Stomp

Luther Vandross & Dionne Warwick - How Many Times Can We Say Goodbye (1983)

Luther Vandross
"How Many Times Can We Say Goodbye" (W/Dionne Warwick)
Album: Busy Body (1983 Epic)

ALBUM:



LYRICS:


Here we are so close to the end now
Still holding on we try and pretend now
Clinging to love we both know is dying
We've tried and tried to find us a way out
But darling our dreams have now all been played out
Still we go on hopelessly trying

Chorus:
But how many times can we say goodbye
Hos many times can we see love die
How many times can we give it one more try
Before we really say goodbye

We're so in love but wrong for each other
Each hurt that heals brings on another
Both of us used and both of us using
Darling it's time that we stop pretending
There's just no way to rewrite our ending
We're caught in this game
And we know we're both losing

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
How many times can we break up and make up
Both of our hearts refusing to wake up
Just can't go on and on living a lie
Though I'll always love you

Repeat Chorus and Fade

The Temptations
"Standing on the top"
Album: Reunion (1982 Gordy)

SINGLE:



LYRICS:


Yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi

When you're on the top
There's no place you can really go but down, down, down
People on the street congratulate you
They say they love the way you sound, well

When you're on the low
No one wants to chit or chat or even know your name
Your agent's never there
Your manager has ripped you off and gone somewhere
Standing on the top

Standing on the top, top
On the top getting down, yeah
Standing on the top (Yeah), top
On the top getting down, Temptations sing

Standing on the top, top
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Standing on the top, top
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

When you're on the top
Everyone you meet they wanna be your long lost friend
They say how great you are, a superstar
But do you have any money to lend
(Hey, man, can you loan me a few bucks)

When you're on the low
Where do all the freaks and fancy people go, (I don't know) I don't know
People sit and stare
Askin' crazy questions, "Do you braid your hair" and "What's L-7 Square"

Standing on the top, top
On the top getting down, ho

Hey...hoo

Standing on the top, top
On the top getting down, down, down, down
Standing on the top (Sing)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (Well, well, well, well, well, well)
Standing on the top (Well)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (Standing on the top getting down)

Can you understand it (We understand it)
Can you understand it what I'm talkin' about
When I say that funk is here to stay (We understand it)
Can you understand it what I'm talkin' about
That funk is here to stay, oh (We understand it)
If you understand it say, "Yeah" {Yeah...yeah...}

We want the funk
We want the funk and nothing else (We want the funk)
We want the funk and nothing else will do

We want the funk
We want the funk and nothing else (We want the funk)
We want the funk and nothing else will do

We want the funk
We want the funk and nothing else (We want the funk)
We want the funk and nothing else will do

We want the funk
We want the funk and nothing else (We want the funk)

Album: Tropical Gangsters (1982 ZE/Island)

SINGLE:




LYRICS:

There's a gentleman that's going round
Turning the joint upside down
Stool Pigeon - ha-cha-cha-cha
He's an old ex-con that's been away
Now he's back, no one's safe
Stool Pigeon - ha-cha-cha-cha

If you wanna squeal, said the FBI
We can make a deal, make it worth your while
So he told it all and in return
He got a credit card and a Thunderbird
And the maximum security
Even after plastic surgery
So go on and squeal, said the FBI
We can make a deal, make it worth your while

There's a gentleman that's going round
Turning the joint upside down
Stool Pigeon - ha-cha-cha-cha
He's an old ex-con that's been away
Now he's back, no one's safe
Stool Pigeon - ha-cha-cha-cha

After all the talk then they wired him
And he took a walk with his crooked friends
And they joked about the good old days
And he recorded it on a reel of tape
He caught the mug who did in the forgery
And the babe in charge of larceny
So the FBI they rewarded him
Because they like a guy who will stab a friend

There's a gentleman that's going round
Turning the joint upside down
Stool Pigeon - ha-cha-cha-cha
He's an old ex-con that's been away
Now he's back, no one's safe
Stool Pigeon - ha-cha-cha-cha

There's a gentleman that's going round ....

If you wanna squeal, said the FBI
We can make a deal, make it worth your while
So he told it all and in return
He got a credit card and a Thunderbird
He got a spanking new identity
And a condo down in Miami
He bought a plane, a boat and jewelry
But he couldn't buy any company

There's a gentleman that's going round ....
There's a gentleman that's going round ....

Lady - you bring me up when Im down,
Maybe youre gonna change my life around.

You came to me when I was lonely and no one cared.
You made me see that I was only just runnin scared.
I saw your face and somethin told me you were the one.
You smiled at me and now I see: My lifes begun.

Lady - you brought me in from out the rain,
Maybe me life will never be the same.

Once I was filled with desperation - a solitary man
You gave me hope and inspiration like only true love can.
Now I believe in what youre sayin - Im ten feet tall.
This love dont need no explainin - weve got it all.

When I see you on the street
My whole body gets weak
When you're standing in a crowd
Your love talks to me so loud
Girl, do I do, what you do, when I do my love to you

When I hear you on the phone
Your sweet, sexy voice turns my ear all the way on
Just the mention of your name
Seems to drive my head insane
Girl, do I do, what you do, when I do my love to you...baby

Sss..Mmm
Yes I got some candy kisses for your lips
Yes I got some honey suckle chocolate dripping kisses full of love for you
Yes I got some candy kisses for your lips
Yes I got some honey suckle chocolate dripping kisses full of love for you

My life has been waiting for your love
My arms have been waiting for your love to arrive
My heart has been waiting
My soul anticipating your love, love, love

From the time that I awake
I'm imagining the good love that we'll make
If to me your vibe can do all this
Just imagine how it's going to feel when we hug and kiss
Sugar, do I do, what you do, when I do my love to you...all right

LYRICS:

Oh, baby now let's get down tonight

Ooh baby, I'm hot just like an oven
I need some lovin'
And baby, I can't hold it much longer
It's getting stronger and stronger

And when I get that feeling
I want sexual healing
Sexual healing, oh baby
Makes me feel so fine

Helps to relieve my mind
Sexual healing baby, is good for me
Sexual healing is something that's good for me

Whenever blue teardrops are fallin'
And my emotional stability is leaving me
There is something I can do
I can get on the telephone and call you up baby

And honey I know you'll be there to relieve me
The love you give to me will free me
If you don't know the thing you're dealing
Ohh I can tell you, darling, that it's sexual healing

Get up, get up, get up, get up
Let's make love tonight
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
'Cos you do it right

Baby, I got sick this mornin'
A sea was stormin' inside of me
Baby, I think I'm capsizin'
The waves are risin' and risin'

And when I get that feeling
I want sexual healing
Sexual healing is good for me
Makes me feel so fine, it's such a rush
Helps to relieve the mind, and it's good for us

Sexual healing, baby, it's good for me
Sexual healing is something that's good for me
Well, it's good for me and it's so good to me my baby, ohh

Come take control, just grab a hold
Of my body and mind, soon we'll be making it, honey
I'll be feeling fine, the way you heal me
The way you thrill me, keep me comin' to you
For you to sexually fulfill me

You're my medicine, open up and let me in
Darling, you're so great, I can't wait for you to operate
I can't wait for you to operate, baby
I can't wait for you to operate

And baby, when I should be asleep at night
I stay up and read
And baby, baby, baby, I can't help but feel uptight
For my passion needs

And when I get this feeling
I want sexual healing
When I get this feeling
I want sexual healing

Baby, I can't stand it much longer
It's getting stronger and stronger

And when I get this feeling
I need sexual healing
Ohh, when I get this feeling
I need sexual healing

I gotta have sexual healing, darling
'Cos I'm all alone
And I need sexual healing, darling
Till you come back home

Please don't procrastinate
It's not good to masturbate

LYRICS:

When you're sitting on your own
And you feel the city life surround you
And she's always on the phone
But you just don't think that you can fight it

Don't give up, don't give up
Don't give up
(Don't give up)
Don't give up, don't give up, darling, what you dream

'Cause like the words here in this song
We'll go on and on and on with our love

(I wanna be)
Inside out, oh, darling
I want it to be so deep that you'll be turning me
(Inside out)
I want it to be so deep you'll be needing me

When you're lying in her bed
And you're in her arms instead of my love
As you feel her tightening grip
Like a genie I will slip from your heart

I won't give up, won't give up, won't give up
(Don't give up, don't give up, don't give up)
Oh, don't give up, darling, what you dream

Like the notes here in this song
We'll go on and on and on and on with our love

(I wanna be)
Inside out, oh, darling
Oh, I wanna be so deep that you'll be needing me
(Inside out)
Over and over again

(I wanna be)
Inside out, oh, darling
Oh, I've got to be so deep that you'll be turning me
Turning me, turning me
(Inside out)
Over and over again

(Inside out)
You and I must stay
(Inside out)
Can't believe this way
(Inside out)
You and I must stay
(Inside out)

'Cause I've got to have you, babe

When you're sitting on your own
And you feel the city life surround you
And she's always on that phone
And you just don't think that you got the strength to fight it

Don't give up, don't give up
Don't give up
(Don't give up)
Don't give up, don't give up, darling, what you dream

'Cause like the words here in this song
We'll go on and on and on with our love

I don't care what they think about me
I don't care what they say
I don't care what they think if you're leaving
I'm gonna beg you to stay

I don't care if they start to avoid me
I don't care what they do
I don't care about anything else
But being with you being with you

Honey don't go don't leave this scene
Be out of the picture and off of the screen
Don't let them say "we told you so"
They tell me you love me and then let me go
I've heard the warning voice
From friends and my relation
They tell me all about your heart-break reputation

I don't care what they think about me
I don't care what they say
I don't care what they think if you're leaving
I'm gonna beg you to stay
I don't care if they start to avoid me
I don't care what they do
I don't care about anything else
But being with you being with you

People can change they always do
Haven't they noticed the changes in you
Or can it be that like love I am blind
Do I want it so much 'til it's all in my mind
One thing I know for sure
Is really really real
I never felt before the way you make me feel

I don't care what they think about me
I don't care what they say
I don't care what they think if you're leaving
I'm gonna beg you to stay
I don't care if they start to avoid me
I don't care what they do
I don't care about anything else
But being with you being with you
Being with you being with you
I wanna Be with you

LYRICS:

Love wars
Love wars

Love wars
Love wars

Absence makes the heart grow fonder
But it's taking me under
Since you're not here
Oh, and I feel so alone

It's better when it's harder to get
But this hide and go seek
Is making me weep
Oh, we call over now

I promise to stop boxing you round
So don't scratch my face
At the end of the eight
Oh, the fight is all over now

We need to get our act together
Take it off the street
Bring it on home and drop them guns on the floor

Love wars (No, we don't need)
Love wars

The talks we had don't change a thing
They only bring rain
On top of pain
Oh, it's tearing me apart

Flashbacks and uncovered tracks
From when you left
With my best friend

We need to get our act together
Take it off the street
Bring it on home and drop them guns on the floor

Make love and peace
And, baby, never cheat
Vow to be strong and let the band roll on
And stop these

Love wars (We don't need)
Love wars (Love wars)
Love wars (And be strong now)
Love wars (Ow!)

Love wars (We don't need)
Love wars (Love wars)
Love wars (Could it be all over now?)
Love wars (Come on back home, darling)

Love bombs explodin' in air
Until the last one
I really don't care

I remember losing my head
And calling you things
Like dirty names
Oh, and I feel bad about it, baby

We need to get our act together
Take it off the street
Bring it on home and drop them guns on the floor

Make love and peace
And, baby, ever cheat
Vow to be strong and let the band roll on

Love wars (No!)
Love wars (We can't stand, no)
Love wars (Just come on out)
Love wars (I don't want no love wars)

Let this groove, get you to move, 
it's alright, alright
let this groove, set in your shoes,
stand up, alright

Gonna tell you what you can do,

Let you know girl you're looking good

Move yourself and glide like a 747
loos yourself in the sky among the clouds in the heavens

Let this groove, light up your fuse, alright
Let this groove, set in your shoes

stand up, alright
Let me tell you what you can do
with my love, alright

Gotta let you know girl you're looking good

Tell the DJ to play your favorite tune
then you know it's okay
What you found is happiness, now

Let this groove, get you to move, alright
Let this groove set in your shoes
stand up, alright

You will find peace of mind on the floor
Take a little time, come and see, you and me
make a little sign, I'll be there after a while
if you want my love

We can boogie on down, down, down, down
Let's groove tonight
share the spice of life
baby slice it right

LYRICS:

I was dreamin' when I wrote this
Forgive me if it goes astray
But when I woke up this mornin'
Coulda sworn it was judgment day
The sky was all purple, 
there were people runnin' everywhere
Tryin' to run from the destruction, 
U know I didn't even care

CHORUS
say say two thousand zero zero party over, 
oops out of time
So tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999

I was dreamin' when I wrote this
So sue me if I go to fast
But life is just a party, and parties weren't meant to last
War is all around us, my mind says prepare to fight
So if I gotta die I'm gonna listen to my body tonight

CHORUS
say say two thousand zero zero party over, 
oops out of time
So tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999


intro 2x
Lemme tell ya somethin'
If U didn't come to party, 
don't bother knockin' on my door
I got a lion in my pocket, 
and baby he's ready to roar
Yeah, everybody's got a bomb, 
we could all die any day
But before I'll let that happen, 
I'll dance my life away

Oh, they say 
say say two thousand zero zero party over, 
oops out of time
So tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999
say say two thousand zero zero party over, 
oops out of time
So tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999

we gonna, oww

LYRICS:

It's close to midnight
something evil's lurkin' from the dark
under moonlight
You see a sight that almost stops your heart
You try to scream
But terror takes the sound before you make it
You start to freeze
As terror looks you right between your eyes
You're paralyzed

'Cause this is thriller
Thriller night
And no one's gonna save you
From the beast about to strike
You know it's killer
Thriller night
You're fighting for your life
Inside a killer
Thriller tonight, yeah

You hear the door slam
And realize there's nowhere left to run
You feel the cold hand
And wonder if you'll ever see the sun
You close your eyes
And hope that this is just imagination
Girl, but all the while
You hear a creature creepin' up behind
You're outta time

'Cause this is thriller
Thriller night
There ain't no second chance
to count the thing with the forty eyes, girl
(Thriller)
(Thriller night)
You're fighting for your life
Inside a killer
Thriller tonight

Night creatures call
And the dead start to walk in their masquerade
There's no escaping the jaws of the alien this time
(They're open wide)
This is the end of your life

They're out to get you
There's demons closing in on every side
They will possess you
Unless you change that number on your dial
Now is the time
For you and I to cuddle close together, yeah
All through the night
I'll save you from the terror on the screen
I'll make you see

That this is thriller
Thriller night
'Cause I can thrill you more
Than any ghoul would ever dare try
(Thriller)
(Thriller night)
So let me hold you tight
And share a
killer, diller, chiller
Thriller here tonight

'Cause this is thriller
Thriller night
Girl, I can thrill you more
Than any ghoul would ever dare try
(Thriller)
(Thriller night)
So let me hold you tight
And share a
(killer, thriller)

I'm gonna thrill you tonight

[Rap]
Darkness falls across the land
The midnight hour is close at hand
Creatures crawl in search of blood
To terrorize y'all's neighborhood
And whosoever shall be found
Without the soul for getting down
Must stand and face the hounds of hell
And rot inside a corpse's shell

I'm gonna thrill you tonight
(Thriller, thriller)
I'm gonna thrill you tonight
(Thriller night, thriller)
I'm gonna thrill you tonight
Ooh, babe, I'm gonna thrill you tonight
Thriller night, babe

[Rap]
The foulest stench is in the air
The funk of forty thousand years
And grizzly ghouls from every tomb
Are closing in to seal your doom
And though you fight to stay alive
Your body starts to shiver
for no mere mortal can resist
the evil of the thriller
