"Sweet Bitter Love"

"Sweet Bitter Love"



I talked to you today, we've loved each other
For so long in that special way
And if circumstances should keep us apart
I just want you to know
That you will remain forever here in my heart

Sweet, sweet bitter love
The taste still lingers, going through my helpless fingers
You slipped away, ooh, yes you did

Sweet, sweet bitter love, what joy you told me
What pain you didn't mean to but you brought me
And so sure, baby and so sure to stay

Our magic dreams have lost their spells
And where there, where there was hope
Oh, there's an, an empty shell

Oh, sweet, na na na, na na na, na na, bitter love
Why have you awaken and then forsaken
A trusting heart like mine

My magic, my magic dreams
They've all, they've all, all lost their spells
And where there, where I had a little bit of hope
Yes sir, there is, oh look at me now, there is an empty shell

Oh, sweet, na na na, na na na, na na, bitter love
Why have you awakened and then
And then and then and then and then you know, you have forsaken
A trusting heart, yeah like mine, a trusting heart like mine
I love you boy, yes I do, like mine

"Sweet Sixteen"

"Sweet Sixteen"



When I first met you, baby
Baby, you were just sweet sixteen
When I first met you, baby
Baby, you were just sweet sixteen
You just left your home then, woman
Ah, the sweetest thing I'd ever seen

But you wouldn't do nothing, baby
You wouldn't do anything I asked to
You wouldn't do nothing for me, baby
You wouldn't do anything I asked to
You know you ran away from your home, baby
And now you wanna run away from old B. too

You know I loved you, baby
I loved you before I could call your name
You know I loved you, baby
Baby I loved you, I love you before I could call your name
Well, it seems like everything I do now baby
Everything I do is in vain

My brother's in Korea, baby
My sister's down in New Orleans
Brother's in Korea baby
My sister's down in New Orleans
You know I'm having so much trouble woman
Baby, I wonder, what in the world is gonna happen to me

You know I love you
and I'll do anything you tell me to
You know I love you
and I'll do anything you tell me to
Well, there ain't nothing in the world, woman
Babe, it ain't nothing
Nothing in the world I wouldn't do it for you

You can treat me mean, baby
But I'll keep on loving you just the same
You can treat me mean baby
But I'll keep on loving you just the same
But one of these days, baby
You're gonna give a lot of money
To hear someone call my name

Yes, sweet sixteen baby, sweet sixteen
Yes, the sweetest thing baby
The sweetest thing I ever seen
You know I'm having so much trouble, woman
Baby I wonder
Yes I wonder
Baby I wonder
Oh, I wonder what in the world's gonna happen to me

"Take A Look"

"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 happenin’ to this human race?
I can’t even see one friendly face
Brothers fight brothers and sisters wink their eyes
While silver tongues bear fruits of poison lies

Just take a look at your children born innocent
Every boy and every girl
Denyin’ themselves a real chance
To build a better world

Dear Lord, dear Lord , what’s happenin’ to your precious dream?
It’s washin’ away on a bloody bloody stream
Take a look at your children before it’s too late
And tell them nobody wins when the prize is hate

"That Lucky Old Sun"

"That Lucky Old Sun"



Up in the mornin', out on the job
Work like the devil for my pay
But that lucky old sun got nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day

Fuss with my woman, toil for my kids
Sweat till I'm wrinkled and gray
While that lucky old sun got nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day
Dear Lord above, can't you know I'm pining, tears all in my eyes

Send down that cloud with a silver lining, lift me to paradise
Show me that river, take me across, wash all my troubles away
Like that lucky old sun, give me nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day, but roll around heaven all day

Send down that cloud with a silver lining, lift me to paradise
Show me that river, take me across, wash all my troubles away
Like that lucky old sun, give me nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day

"That's All I Want From You"

"That's All I Want From You"



That's all, that's all I want from you...
That's all, that's all I want from you...
That's all, that's all I want from you...
That's all, that's all I want from you...

All I want is a little bit of love that slowly grows and grows, (Slowly, slowly...)
Not one that comes and goes - That's all I want from you... (Still!)
A sunny day with hopes up to the sky,
A kiss, and no goodbyes - That's all I want from you...

Don't let me down, oh, show me that you care;
Remember when you give, you always get your share...
Don't let me down, I have no time to waste;
Tomorrow may not come (may not come!), when dreamers dream (may not come!) too late...

A little love that slowly grows and grows, (Slowly, slowly...)
Not one that comes and goes - That's all I want from you...

Don't let me down! Show me that you care!
Remember when you give, you always get your share...
Don't let me down, I have no time to waste;
Tomorrow may not come... (may not come!) Dreamers dream... (may not come!) Late...

A little love that slowly grows and grows, (Slowly, slowly...)
Not one that comes and goes - That's all I want from you... (Still!)

Baby, that's all! (That's all, that's all I want from you...)
Baby! (That's all, that's all I want from you...)
(That's all, that's all I want from you...)
Ooh, baby! (That's all, that's all I want from you... slowly, slowly...)

"That's Life"

"That's Life"



That's life, that's what all the people say.
You're riding high in April,
Shot down in May
But I know I'm gonna change that tune,
When I'm back on top, back on top in June.

I said that's life, and as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks,
Stompin' on a dream
But I don't let it, let it get me down,
'Cause this fine ol' world it keeps spinning around

I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate,
A poet, a pawn and a queen.
I've been up and down and over and out
And I know one thing:
Each time I find myself, flat on my face,
I pick myself up and get back in the race.

That's life
I tell ya, I can't deny it,
I thought of quitting baby,
But my heart just ain't gonna buy it.
And if I didn't think it was worth one single try,
I'd jump right on a big bird and then I'd fly

I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate,
A poet, a pawn and a king.
I've been up and down and over and out
And I know one thing:
Each time I find myself laying flat on my face,
I just pick myself up and get back in the race

That's life
That's life and I can't deny it
Many times I thought of cutting out
But my heart won't buy it
But if there's nothing shakin' come this here july
I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball and die
My, My

"That's The Way I Feel About Cha"
(originally by Bobby Womack)



If you get anything out of life
You got to put up with the toils and strife
Ooh, well just pushed our love a little bit too far
We forgot to remember how blessed we were, now

And the girl over there tellin' me what she sees
You don't have to worry, baby
She ain't gonna get next to me
Yes, she don't mean a thing at all
And I thought it over, yes I did

That's the way that I feel about you, baby
That's the way that I feel about you, baby
That's the way that I feel about you, baby
That's the way that I feel about you, baby, yeah

I know you've been hurt just like many others too
But that's the sacrifice that life is gonna put us all through
Trust in me, I'll trust in you and have no fear
Sometimes, I look at you, baby and wonder if God sent you here
And I thought it over, yes I did, well, well, well, well

That's the way thatI feel about you, baby
And I hope you don't mind if I get weak and cry for you sometimes
That's the way that I feel about you, baby
That's the way that I feel about you, yeah

Please, please, please, babe, if you hear my love knocking at your door
Open up, oh, because the world ain't givin' up, sometime you're no more
I know you've been hurt, so have many others too
All we gotta do is look back over the years, shinin' through
Shine through the light and put us all through, yeah, yeah

That's the way that I feel about you, baby
That's the way that I feel about you in my heart for you baby
Yeah, yeah, that's the way, that's the way, that's the way
That's the way I feel about you, baby

I get a little weak now and I cry sometimes, yeah
I don't mind, I don't mind
I love you baby, love you baby, love you baby, love you baby

That's the way I feel, let me just talk about it a little while
You'll see right now, that's the way that I, that's the way that I
That's the way that I, that's the way that I, that's the way

Yeah, that's the way, that's the way, that is the way, oh
I feel about you, baby, that's the way that I, that's the way I
That's the way that I, that's the way I, oh
That's the way that I I feel about you, baby, ooh, baby

Think about you all the time and I'm so glad
I'm so glad, I'm so glad, I'm so glad, so glad, I'm so glad
So glad to know you're my love now, baby
Stay my baby, sure you gonna do that for me, sure
Sure you gonna do that for me now that I have been alone

Let me know that that's the way
Let me know that that's the way
That you'd be, that you'd be always true
The way I feel

"The Long And Winding Road"
(originally by The Beatles)

"The Long And Winding Road"
(originally by The Beatles)



The long and winding road that leads to your door,
Will never disappear,
I've seen that road before It always leads me here,
Leads me to your door.

The wild and windy night the rain washed away,
Has left a pool of tears crying for the day.
Why leave me standing here, let me know the way

Many times I've been alone and many times I've cried
Anyway you'll never know the many ways I've tried, but
Still they lead me back to the long and winding road
You left me standing here a long, long time ago
Don't leave me waiting here, lead me to you door
