"It's Not Hard To Love You"

"It's Not Hard To Love You"



Drivin' in my car, it's rainin' hard
I've gotta get to ya baby
Traffic's movin' slow, it's stop 'n go
And I keep dreamin' 'bout ya baby, yeah

Now when I finally get my hands on you
We'll be makin' love the whole night through
Anything you want just take from me
And I'll take you up the mountain, 'cause

It's not hard to love you at all
It's not hard to love you, baby
No, no not hard
'Cause, it's not hard to love you
It's not hard to love you baby
So easy
'Cause, it's not hard to love you at all, at all

Girl you're lookin' good I knew you would
And I love that dress you're wearin' damn
Candlelight and wine, tonight you're mine
I'm gonna show you that I'm carin'

Well all I wanna do is dance with you
Pull you close and get you in the mood
I'm gonna love you baby, all night through
Well, I'll be doin' it all for you, 'cause
It's not hard to love you at all

It's not hard to love you baby
O-o-oh it's not hard, darlin'

It's not hard to love you, baby
Easy lovin' you baby

Now when I finally get my hands on you
We'll be makin' love the whole night through
Anything you want just take it from me
I'm gonna give you all that I can give, 'cause

It's not hard to love you at all
It's not hard to love you, baby
Oh, no no no no no no no no no
It's not hard to love you
It's not hard to love you, baby
It's easy lovin' you
It's not hard to love you at all
It's not hard to love you, baby

"Jacaranda Bougainvillea"

"Jacaranda Bougainvillea"


Oh what a dream, Oh what a story.
Don't have to weep, Come and enjoy a smile.
Opening scene is just like a doorway.
Here's a story, in rhythm and rhyme.

There is a tree on the street and in the forest.
Lavender dream whispered a poet.
Bright potpourri. The envy of orchids,
When it's dressed in a pink and fuchsia twine.
Jacaranda tree and the Bougainvillea vine.

Oh Mandela, that garden that you made,
Is a vision of the prayer, you must've been prayin' everyday.
Sweet Azaleas, every color every kind.
And the first and the last are all divine.

There is a dream of the trees and of the flowers.
There is a season of peace at the borderline...
Where we're redeemed and history will crown us.
Jacaranda tree and Bougainvillea vine.

Oh Mandela, would you say that it's alright?
When the children play they always say, they say that we were like
Cinderella, in your garden there's a shrine,
To the first and the last they're all divine.

One and all, big and small, a common birth.
Each and every child for all his worth.
Take the one who's always last and make him first.
Take these seeds. Seed the earth.

[OUTRO:]
Comin' along,
Oh what a long way we have come.
Comin' along,
Makin' a home for everyone.
Comin' along, way down South in Africa
Look at (Study) the Jacaranda tree huggin' the Bougainvillea

[REPEAT OUTRO X4]

"Just To Be Loved"

"Just To Be Loved"


I was down to the bone I was lonely only yesterday
Didn't know I was throwin my chances away
Then you came along just long enough to see
Far beyond the fool that I have come to be

[CHORUS]
Just to be loved by you
It's like having all my sweetest dreams coming true
You showed me something I've never seen
You made me something I have never been before
Never before

I was always the one who would never give anything away
If all your feeling is cool there's not much to say
When the silence got too loud for me to bear
You brought me love and taught me how to care

[CHORUS]
Just to be loved by you
It's like having all my sweetest dreams coming true
You showed me something I've never seen
You made me something I have never been before
Never before
[REPEAT CHORUS]

[BRIDGE]
Cherish love when you use it
It's never gone they say
When you have it
It's only love, only love

[CHORUS]
Just to be loved by you
It's like having all my sweetest dreams coming true
You showed me something I've never seen
You made me something I have never been before
Never before

"Killer Love"

"Killer Love"


I've been watching you
You've been watchin' too
So sassy slinky that
I felt the heat at first sight
Is this burn for you all right

You smile and start to sway
Your satin slips away
This sweet obsession brings
A torch to my dreams all night

[Chorus]
Such a killer, such a killer love
Such a killer, such a killer love
Killer diller, killer love, killer diller
Killer love killer love
I wanna wo, I wanna wo, I wanna wo

My doctors on the phone
Asks me if I'm alone
Your heart is beating strong
But fever burns in your eyes
I'm concerned for you tonight

[Chorus]

"L Is For Lover"

"L Is For Lover"



Don't wait for your love
To come from tomorrow
Don't wait for your love
To come from yesterday
Your heart better skip a
Beat tomorrow
Your heart better jump
A beat from yesterday
Don't wait for the
Love you lost
When someone needs
The love that you have
Don't ache for the
Love you need
Someone somewhere
Wants what you've got

Maybe she's looking
For you in London
L is for lover
Maybe she's looking
For you in Boston
O is for an offer
Maybe she's looking
For you in Houston
V you got to venture
Maybe she's looking
For you in Kingston
E maybe forever

Don't wait for your mum
To lesson your sorrow
Don't wait for the crown
To bring you brighter days
Your heart better skip
A beat to tomorrow
Your heart better jump
A beat from yesterday
Don't wait for the love you lost
When someone needs
The love that you have
Don't ache for the love you need
Someone somewhere
Wants what you've got
Don't cry for the love you lost
When someone needs
The love that you have
Don't sigh for the love you need
Someone somewhere
Wants what you've got

Do not cry for the love you lost
Do not cry for the love you need
Do not mourn for the love you lost
Don't mourn for the love you need
Do not cry for the love you lost
Do not ache for the love you need
Do not mourn for the love you lost
Don't mourn for the love you need

Maybe she's looking for you in Moscow
L is for lover
Looking for you in Glasgow
O is for an offer
Maybe she's looking for you in Rio
V you got to venture
Maybe she's looking for you in Tokyo
E maybe forever
Maybe she's looking for you in Sydney
L is for lover
Maybe she's looking for you in Philly
O is for an offer
Maybe she's looking for you in Lisbon
V you got to venture
Maybe she's looking for you in Brooklyn
E maybe forever

"Last Night"

"Last Night"


I thought about you, last night
About you, I thought about you [2x]

It's like they use to say
You'll never gonna survive
Unless you're just a little crazy
Jump right in the game of love
Start believin' in that someone
You can really trust

I thought about you
(And the miracles of things that you do)
Last night
I thought about you
(And everyday your ways, I'll thank you)

You're just the one for me
And I believe you'll never leave
Take care my heart and soul
Never left to take a full control

[CHORUS:]
Last night
I thought about you
(And the miracles of things that you do)
Last night
I thought about you
(And everyday your ways, I'll thank you)

So many times
And believe me
I'm so satisfied
I know I'm sure
I found what I was lookin' for

(And the miracles of things that you do)
Last night
I thought about you
(And everyday your ways, I'll thank you)

"Lean On Me"
(originally by Bill Withers)

"Lean On Me"
(originally by Bill Withers)



Sometimes in our lives
We all have pain
We all have sorrow
But if we are wise
We know that there's
Always tomorrow

Lean on me
When you're not strong
I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on

Please, swallow your pride
If I have things
You need to borrow
For no one can fill
Those of your needs
That you won't let show

Just call on me, brother, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on

Lean on me
When you're not strong
I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on

So just call on me, brother, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on

If there is a load
You have to bear
That you can't carry
I'm right up the road
I'll share your load
If you just call me

(Call me) If you need a friend
(Call me) Call me
(Call me) If you need a friend
(Call me) If you ever need me
(Call me) Call me
(Call me) Call me
(Call me) Call me
(Call me) Call me
(Call me) If you need a friend
(Call me) Call me
(Call me) Call me
(Call me) Call me
(Call me) Call me

"Let Me Love You"

"Let Me Love You"


Must have been that something you told me
Whispered just the other day
Said that you'd be leaving tomorrow
But there's got to be some other way
To bring you closer
Can we look closer
Would you stay with me

[CHORUS:]
Let me hold you
I can hold you longer
Let me feel you
'Til my heart is stronger
Let me love you
I can love you tenderly

I just can't believe that it's over
You looked at me and said goodbye
But deep inside my heart keeps on dreamin' baby
Cause there's still that look of love in your eye
When we were lovers
So close to each other
When our love was free

[CHORUS:]
Let me hold you
I can hold you longer
Let me feel you
'Til my heart is stronger
Let me love you
Yes, I can love you tenderly
So tenderly
Let me love you, tenderly

[BRIDGE:]
Love is patient
Love is a gift
Don't you know
All this time
I have been searchin
For a love land
Where we can live, together

Live forever
Live together
Live forever
Would you stay with me

[CHORUS:]
Let me hold you
I can hold you longer
Let me feel you
'Til my heart is stronger
Let me love you
I can love you tenderly

[REPEAT CHORUS 3x]

"Let's Pretend"

"Let's Pretend"


Runnin' around like crazy
After our romance
Thinkin' about you baby
How there's still a chance
I know there's magic
Whenever you're around me
So much it makes me wanna sing

I'll use my imagination
In a novel way
To create a situation
One we both can play
I'll write the story
You'll be my inspiration
Just like two actors in a play

[CHORUS:]
Let's pretend
We're in another world
Livin' a fantasy
Let's pretend
Just another boy and girl
Falling in love
Let's pretend
Babe we'll remember when
Maybe we'll start again
Let's pretend
What we had will never end
Ooh ooh aah

I'm jumpin' right in now baby
With my body and soul
Everyone thinks I'm crazy
But I love you so
I know there's magic
Whenever you're around me
So much it makes me wanna...

[CHORUS:]

Girl remember when
Do you remember when
Bring it back again
In all the love we made
I'm sure we saved some for
A rainy day

[CHORUS:]

"Let's Stay Together"

"Let's Stay Together"



I, I'm so in love with you
Whatever you want to do
Is all right with me
'Cause you make me feel so brand new
And I want to spend my life with you

Since, since we've been together
Loving you forever
Is what I need
Let me be the one you come running to
I'll never be untrue

Let's, let's stay together
Lovin' you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad

Whether times are good or bad, happy or sad

Why, why some people break up
Then turn around and make up
I just can't see
You'd never do that to me (would you, baby)
Staying around you is all I see
(Here's what I want us to do)

Let's, we oughta stay together
Loving you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad
