"Some Love"

"Some Love"


[Chorus:]
Some love
You know it brings me down down down
Some love
You know it brings me down down down

They say that love is heaven sent
Well I guess they told another lie
How can it be a part of me
You can't even look me in my eye

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
All this time you made a fool of me
You told honey sweet lies
I'm fed up with your alibis
I was blind, now I see, yeah

[Chorus]

Let's end this game, let's stop this farce
'Cause I don't wanna live a lie
Life's so short, and love's so sparse
I guess I'll have to say goodbye
It brings me down down down, yeah
Some love, it brings me down down down

[Bridge]

If this is love, I want no part of it
They call this love
Now I've got to quit you, baby
If this is love, I want no part of it
They call this love, dirty dirty love
Some love

If this is love don't break my heart
If this is love don't want no part
If this is love don't break my heart
If this is love don't want no part
If this is love don't break my heart
If this is love don't want no part
If this is love don't break my heart

Some love
Oh first you burn me with desire
Then you go and douse the fire

"Soul Talkin'"
(feat. Bobby McFerrin)

"Soul Talkin'"
(feat. Bobby McFerrin)



Some girls need emotion
Some girls just want some fun
Some look for devotion
Some just wanna run
Some crave for affection
Burnin' up inside
Some need the direction
For the world outside

You can dance the dance 'til the mornin' comes
But I'll tell you where I'm comin' from

[Chorus:]
I wanna hear your soul' talkin'
Wanna hear your soul' talkin'
Wanna hear your soul' talkin'

It's the heart of the matter
It's the root of the cause
It's the still of the moment
It's that heavenly pause
Well I don't need a savior
And I don't need a slave
I just want to hear you
Through that magnetic wave

What I need is a link to the inner mind
If you want to know my bottom line

"Spoon"

"Spoon"


I got me some cookin'
Not all that good lookin'
He's mighty sweet to me
That's how he's keepin' me

I ain't worried `bout the future
The here and now is lookin' cuter
I like his recipe
That's why I'm layin'

[Chorus:]
You are just like my favorite spoon
Cause you stir me up
I'm as full as a harvest moon
Still I need more in my cup
And only you can give it to me

Am I happy? (I think so)
Don't be so emotional (I can't help it, no)
Will he be there? (I think so)
It's one thing that I do know
This I know

Everybody needs to feel it
Can't beg, borrow or steal it
Love is all about lovin'
When it's hot like an oven

I ain't worried `bout the future
The here and now is lookin' cuter
Got plenty 'o time for sortin'
Cause Mama's little baby loves her shortnin' bread

[Chorus]

"Spring Can Really Hang You Up The Most"

"Spring Can Really Hang You Up The Most"



Once I was a sentimental thing
Throw my heart away each spring
Now a spring romance
Hasn't got a chance
Promised my first dance to winter
All I've got to show's a splinter
For my little fling

Spring, this year has got me feeling like a horse
That never left the post
I lay in my room
Starring up at the ceiling
Spring can really hang you up the most

Morning kiss wakes trees and flower
And to them my life
To drink a toast I walk in the park
Just to kill those lonely hours
Spring can really hang you up the most

All afternoon
Those birds tweet-a-tweet I know their tune
This is love this is it
Heard it before
And I know the score
And I decide that love is a bore
Love seem sure around the new year
Now it's April

Love is just a ghost
Spring arrived on time
But what became of you, dear
Spring can really hang you up the most
Spring can really hang you up the most

Spring is here
There's no mistaken
Robins build their nest from coast to coast
My heart tries the same
So they wont hear it breaking
Spring can really hang you up the most

College boys are riding somewhere
... tender passion there it grows
But I'm on the shelf with last years easter bonnet
Spring can really hang you up the most

Love came my way
I'm holding the last
We had our day
Now that's all in the past
Spring came along
A season of song
For Love's sweet promise
But something went wrong
Doctor's once prescribed a tonic
Sulfur and molasses was the dose
Didn't help me a bit
My condition must be chronic
Spring can really hang you up the most

All alone, the party's over
Winter was a gracious host
But when you keep praying
For snow to hide the clover
Spring can really hang you up the most

"Sticky Wicked"
(feat. Miles Davis)



[Chorus:]
Carmel-coated pseudo happy
Call her sticky wicked
Will she answer agin today or pray that love'll kick it?

Kick it love, see her little baby
Hey girl, she don't remember your name
Kick it love, mama gettin' busy
Got no time 4 games

Sticky wicked
She just got a pair of tickets to the opera in her mind
No applause, no encore if she dies

[Chorus]

Kick it love, visions of her childhood
When her heart was gold
Sticky wicked
Tell me people what reason's good enough 2
Die before U're old? Kick it love, covenants of promise lay before your eyes
Stick wicked will trick U, lick U, then it kicks you aside!

[Chorus]

People crashing in the middle of the day
When U wake up sticky wicked don't go away
Sticky wicked
Pretty stick wicked

(Scenario of a mother who can't remember her daughter's name)
Hey little baby, what's your name?
Oh ain't she cute?
Mama got 2 run today
I don't have time 4 games
No don't worry about me, I'm alright
I'm alright, I'm alright

Carmel-coated pseudo happy
Call her sticky wicked
People crashing in the middle of the day
When U wake up sticky wicked don't go away
If U want it, help is here today
There's a better God, don't U wanna play?

Sticky wicked, love'll kick it
Sticky wicked, love'll kick it

"Stormy Weather"

"Stormy Weather"


Don't know why
There's no sun up in the sky
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain't together
Keeps raining all the time

Life is bare
Gloom and misery everywhere
Stormy weather
Just can't get my poor old self together
I'm weary all the time, the time
So weary all of the time

When he went away
The blues walked in and met me
If he stays away, old rocking chair will get me
All I do is pray
The lord above will let me
Walk in the sun once more

Can't go on
Everything I had is gone
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain't together
Keeps raining all the time
Keeps raining all of the time

I walk around,
Heavy-hearted and sad
Night comes around
And I'm still feeling bad
Rain pourin' down
Blinding every hope I had
This pitter 'n patter 'n beatin' 'n spatterin' drivin' me mad

Love, love, love, love
This misery will be the end of me

[Bridge]

When he went away
The blues walked in and met me
If he stays away, old rocking chair will get me
All I do is pray
The lord above will let me
Walk in the sun once more

Can't go on
Everything I had is gone
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain't together
Keeps raining all the time, the time
Keeps raining all the time

"Stronger Than Before"

"Stronger Than Before"



If you don't believe what I say
You won't believe I'm not that way
And I never meant to turn the hurt around
I would be a fool to lose the love I'd found
And if you take me back, I'll let you know

I'll be stronger than before, I will love you even more
Oh, I'll take you back, if you come back
I'll take you anywhere you ever want to be
You're the light inside of me
Oh, I'll take you back, if you come back to me

If you heard the whole thing before
Then once again, I'll tell you more
I would be a fool to ever let you go
Oh I had to go away to finally know
How much I need you back, I need your love

I'll be stronger than before, I will love you even more
Oh, I'll take you back, if you come back
I'll take you anywhere you ever want to be
You're the light inside of me
Oh, I'll take you back, if you come back
I'll take you anywhere you ever want to be
You're the light inside of me
Oh, I'll take you back, if you come back to me
Come back to me, come back to me
I'll take you back, if you come back to me
Come back to me

If you come back to me
Come back to me, come back to me
I'll take you back
If you come back to me, come back to me

(Stronger, stronger) Stronger than before
I will love you even more
Oh, I'll take you back, if you come back
I'll take you anywhere you ever want to be (Stronger, stronger)
You're the light inside of me
Oh, I'll take you back if you come back to me,
Come back to me, come back to me

(Stronger, yeah) I'll be stronger than before,
I will love you even more
Oh, I'll take you back, if you come back
I'll take you anywhere you ever want to be (Stronger, stronger)
By the light inside of me
Oh, I'll take you back if you come back to me,
Come back to me, come back to me

(Stronger, yeah) I'll be stronger than before,
I will love you even more
Oh, I'll take you back, if you come back
I'll take you anywhere you ever want to be (oh yeah, yeah)
You're the light inside of me
Oh, I'll take you back if you come back to me,
Come back to me, come back to me

"Super Life"

"Super Life"



A mama's cryin'
'Cause another young man has gone and died
He's not some statistic
He's another awesome destiny denied

So I've got to stand tall
I'm gonna live a super life
For the rest of my life
I'm gonna live a super life
Super life, super life, yeah

We take it all so lightly
How did we get so 'climatized
On the 9 o'clock news nightly
Genocide of babies
I can't believe my eyes

Right or wrong
I'm gonna live a super life
For the rest of my life
I'm gonna live a super life
Super life, super life, yeah

You know the wrath of a woman
Is gonna bring about hell to pay
Everyone together come on get with me
Or get on out my way

I'm gonna live a super life
I'm gonna live a super life
(For the babies)

I'm gonna live a super life
I'm gonna live a super life
(For the babies)

"Take The A-Train"

"Take The A-Train"



Hurry, hurry, hurry
Take the A-train
To find the quickest way to get to Harlem

If you should take the A-train
You'll find you get right where you goin'
If you hurry

Hurry, hurry, hurry
Night's coming
Can't you hear the rails a-humming

If you should take the A-train
You'll find to get away
... with a hurry

If you should take the A-train
You'll find you get right where you goin'
If you hurry

Hurry, hurry, hurry
Night's coming
Can't you hear the rails a-humming

"Teach Me Tonight"

"Teach Me Tonight"



Did you say that I've got a lot to learn
Well don't think I'm trying not to learn
Since this is the perfect spot to learn
Teach me tonight

Starting with the ABC of it
Getting right down to the XYZ of it
Help me solve the mystery of it
Teach me tonight

The sky's a blackboard high above you
And if a shooting star goes by
I'll use that star to write "I love you"
A thousand times across the sky

One thing isn't very clear my love
Teachers shouldn't stand so near my love
Graduation's almost here my love
You'd better teach me tonight

I've played loves scenes in a flick or two
And I've also met a chick or two
But I still can learn a trick or two
Hey teach me tonight

I who thought I knew the score of it
Kind of think I should know much more of it
Off the wall, the bed, the floor of it
Hey teach me tonight

The midnight hours come slowly creeping
When there's no one there but you
There must be more to life than sleeping
Single in a bed for two

What I need most is post graduate
What I feel is hard to articulate
If you want me to matriculate
You'd better teach me tonight

What do you get for lessons
Teach me... come on and teach me... teach me tonight
