Still In Love



Baby, baby I want you

Baby, and I need you

I’m still in love with you

Even though you’re not with me

You never once left my mind

I guess I’m still in love with you, ooh, ooh---

You seem so unreal to me

Why can’t I set you free

Instead I carry you around in my mind

Late at night I try walkin’

Never feel much like talkin’

I’m too busy thinkin’ ’bout the good ole’ times

Good ole’ times

(still in love) I remember (with you, baby)

I’m still in love with you, yeah, didn’t you know it

(still in love) even a blind man can see it

(with you, baby) yeah (still in love) I’m in love with you

Still in love, in love, in love, in love, with you, baby

Oh, baby, still in love with you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you

Still in love, yeah, with you, baby

My baby, still in love with you, oh

Life ain’t worth livin,’ no reason to give my love

’cause I’m still in love with you, yeah

No matter where you go, no place is too far

Just call my name and I’ll be there, oh, baby

(still in love) still in love (with you, baby)

With you, baby (still in love with you)

Oh, yeah, yeah (still in love)

This girl is in love with you

(with you, baby) don’t you forget it

(still in love with you) remember, remember me

(still in love) don’t you forget it, no

(with you, baby) no, no

I’m the one that is in love with you (still in love)

In love, in love (with you) in love, in love

In love, in love, in love, in love, oh

(still in love) remember me, boy..

Straighten up & Fly Right


Words and music by nat king cole and irving mills; american academy of music, mills music, ascap

The buzzert took the monkey for a ride in the air

The monkey thought that everything was on a square

The buzzert tried to throw the monkey off his back

But the monkey grabbed his neck and said "now listen jack"

Straighten up and fly right, straighten up and stay right

Straighten up and fly right

Cool down pappa don’t you blow your top

Ain’t no use in divin,’ what’s the use of jivin’

Straighten up and fly right

Cool down pappa don’t you blow your top

The buzzert told the monkey you are chokin me

Release your hold and I will set you free

The monkey looked the buzzert right dead in the eye

And said "your story’s so touching but it sounds like a lie"

Straighten up and fly right, straighten up and stay right

Straighten up and fly right

Cool down pappa don’t you blow your top

Musical interlude

Straighten up and fly right, straighten up and stay right

Straighten up and fly right

Cool down pappa don’t you blow your top

Ain’t no use in divin,’ what’s the use of jivin’

You better straighten up and fly right

Cool down pappa don’t you blow your top

Fly right

Take a Look



Take a look in the mirror, look at yourself

But don’t you look too close, cause you just might see the person

That you hate the most, lord, what’s happening to this human race

I can’t even see one friendly face, brothers fight brothers and sisters wink their eyes

While silver s bear fruits of poison lies, take a look at your children

Born innocent, every boy and every girl, denying themselves a real chance

To build a better world, oh! dear lord what’s happening to your precious dream

I think it’s washing away on a bloody, bloody stream, yes, take a look at your children

Before it’s too late, and tell them nobody, nobody wins when the prize is hate

Oh, no, no, no it’s not too late, we gotta tell all of our children

That love, love, love is the way, yeah, yeah

Tell Me All About It


Love, when we touch I shiver

Just body language can you blame it

My love's like a raging river

And I think you're the one to tame it

You, you're the quiet, shy type

You always whisper never shout it

Ooh, Baby, you are my type

Why don't you tell me all about it

I got ways to make you

Make you tell me all about it

That's what I'm gonna do

Till you tell me all about it

Making love till you do

Till you tell me all about it

(Musical Interlude)

Me, I'm a lousy loner

Just call my number come be near me

Me, I'm a soulful moaner

Stay chez moi so you can hear me

You, you're the quiet shy type

You always whisper never shout it

Ooh, Baby, you are my type

Why don't you tell me all about it

(Background singers repeat:

I got ways to make you, make you tell me all about it

That's what I'm gonna do, till you tell me all about it

Making love till you do, till you tell me all about it)

I got ways

I got some special ways

I got some very special ways to make you tell me

Baby, baby

(Scat)

Tell me, tell me

I got ways to make you

Make you love me

(Background singers change to:

That's exactly what I'm,

That's what I'm gonna do, till you tell me all about it

We won't stop making love,

Making love till you do, till you tell me all about it

I got some ways,

I got ways to make you, make you tell me all about it)

Ooh, tell me that you love me

Tell me all about it, Baby

(Scat)

Tell me, Baby, that you love me...

That Sunday That Summer



Words and music by geo david weiss and joe sherman

(if I had to choose just one day)

If I had to choose just one day to last my whole life through

It would surely be that sunday; the day that I met you

Newborn whippoorwills were calling from the hills

Summer was a coming in but fast

Lots of daffodils were showing off their skills

Nodding all together, I can almost hear them whisper

Go on kiss him; go on and kiss him

If I had to choose one moment to live within my heart

It would be that tender moment recalling how we started

Darling it would be when you smiled at me

That way, that sunday, that summer

Musical interlude

Go on kiss him; go on and kiss him

And if I had to choose just one moment

To live within my heart it would surely be that moment

Recalling how we started

Darling it would be when you smiled at me

That way, that sunday, that summer

(if I had to choose just one day)

The Gift



Every captain must steer the wheel, not by choice but from the voice

That’s in his ear, I have lived long and I’ve done much wrong

But I’ve survived through my lies, I’m still here, so all you people

Know what I say is true, that I’m here because of you, I have lived on

Yes I’ve made it through, you’ve returned your love to me

Well I felt fire and I got tired of running from the truth

And I let people down, and I wore a crown of being the biggest fool

So all you people know what I say is true, that I’m here because of you

I have lived on, yes I’ve made it through, you’ve returned your love to me

There were times I had enough, I almost gave it up

But you reached out your heart to me, look what you’ve done now

I’ve become the best, oh, I’m the best I can be, oh, oh, oh

You’ve returned your love, the gift of love, yes, you gave this gift to me

The Music That Makes Me Dance



I add two and two the most simple addition
Then swear that the figures are lying
I'm a much better comic then mathematican
Cause I'm better on stage than at intermission
And as far as the man is concerned
If I've been burned, well I haven't learn

I know he's around when the sky and the ground starting ringing
I know that he's near by the thunder I hear in advance
His words and his words alone
Are the words that can start me heart singing
And his is the only music that makes me dance

He'll sleep and he lies in the light of two eyes
That adore him
Oh bore him it might, but he won't leave me sight
For a glance

In every way every single day
I need less of myself I need more him, more him
And his is the only music that makes dance
Yes his is the only music that makes dance

The Rest of the Night



Ooh, ooh, ooh

Oh, yeah

Baby, what's your hurry

Where are you going so fast

You can keep your motor runnin'

But don't run out of gas

Getting there is half the fun

Cause you've got the rest of the night to hold me

And the best of my love's yet to come (yet to come)

For the rest of my life I'm gonna love you

So take a little longer, my love can only get stronger

(Stronger, stronger)

If we're gonna climb a mountain

We gotta take our sweet time

When you're traveling down love's highway

Don't you know speeding is a crime

Listen, getting there is half the fun

Cause you've got the rest of the night to hold me

And the best of my love's yet to come (yet to come)

For the rest of my life I'm gonna love you

So take a little longer

My love can only get stronger (stronger, stronger)

Oh, my Baby, we gotta slow down (ooh)

Take your time, ease your mind (oh, Baby, mmm)

Stronger, rest of my life, I'm gonna love you

So just take a little longer, and our love is gonna get stronger

(Cause you've got the rest of the night) oh---, yeah

(And the best of my love) yet to come (yet to come)

Oh, baby, for (rest of my life) I'm gonna love you

I want you to take your time

Love me baby, love me baby, love me, love me (rest of my life)

Slow down baby, I ain't going no where (best of my love)

So why don't we just take our sweet time (rest of my life)

Don't rush me, you're gonna crush me, let the feeling come

Oh, remember that song about a slow hand (rest of the night)

Now she had the right idea (oh--)

So, Baby, what's the hurry, (best of my love)

we've got forever

If we don't use it up too fast (oh, ah--)

Take it slow, calm down, smell the roses

We'll get there, don't you worry

(Rest of the night, to hold me) (best of my love, yet to come...)

The Urge To Merge



Though I think I really know you

And you think you know me

And we're as close at two people

Could ever hope to be

Still I can't escape the feeling

That no matter what I do

I'll never understand what it feels like to be you

I get the urge to know you better

To make our spirits one

I want to see us be together

As close as we can come

I get the urge to merge

I get the urge to merge with you

I get the urge to merge

I get the urge to merge with you

Have you ever wanted something

You just had to possess

And it turned into obsession

And wouldn't let you rest

There are times I can't help wishing

I could melt right into you

Hear every word you're thinking

Feel everything you do

I feel trapped inside my body

And there's nothing I can do

Want to leap across the wall

That's keeping me from you

To break what can't be broken

To say what can't be spoken

If only for a moment

To touch your soul

I get the urge to know you better

The Winner



In this world of make believe I must confess

To be number one you’ve got to do it better

And if you strive to be happy you’ll find success

Perspectively you’ve got to pull it together

Nothing good will come to you if you don’t see

A reason for victory

Everybody loves the winner

Only the winner can really make things happen

Everybody loves the winner, so be the winner, I know you are

If there’s something you’d like to do you’ve never done

Don’t let fear stand in your way

Just collect your dreams and thoughts and get on the run

I wouldn’t wait another day

You can be the best in everything you do

When it thawls out, it’s all up to you

Everybody loves the winner (everybody loves the winner)

Only a winner can really make things happen

Everybody loves a winner (everybody loves a winner)

So be the winner you are

Be a winner, ooh (yes you can, yes you can, yes you can)

Be a winner, ooh (yes you can, yes you can, yes you can)

Be a winner, a winner, a winner, yes you can

’cause everybody (everybody) loves (loves a winner)

The winner, so be a winner

You can only make things happen

Everybody (everybody) loves a winner (loves a winner)

So be the winner, I know you are

Every (everybody), everybody, (loves a winner)

Really loves the winner, (so be a winner)

Only the winner can really make things happen

Everybody (everybody) loves the winner (loves a winner)

So be a winner (so be a winner), I know you are if you really try

Be a winner, you know you can, you know you can

You know you can be a winner

(yes you can, yes you can, yes you can)

Scat (yes you can, yes you can, yes you can)

Scat

(everybody) yeah, (loves a winner)

Scat

(everybody loves a winner)

(everybody) everybody really loves a winner (loves a winner)!
