"Tearin' It Up"

"Tearin' It Up"


I'm gonna make you love
If it's the last thing I do
I'm gonna make you with
That there were two of you

I think you're gonna need help
'Cause I've been saving my love
For nobody but you
I'll make you melt
Like the snow in the summer
'Cause you're blowin' my mind
I know it's gonna be all better
When you touch me (oh, oh, give it to me baby)
Love can't wait, You'll never get away

[Chorus:]
Tearin' it up, tearin' it up
You were tearin' it up
Tearin' it up, tearin' it up
You were tearin' it up

I'm gonna make you love
If it's the last thing I do
I'm gonna make you with
That there were two of you

Sittin' here checkin' you out
I know your moves
And all your grooves
And there's no doubt
That you give off a love vibe
That's all the way live
It's a woman's perogative to change her mind
Hurry up, please stop wastin' time
Just give up, you'll never get away

[Chaka:] I'm gonna make you love me
[Male:] girl, I'm gonna make you love me too
[Chaka:] I'm gonna make you love me, boy

[Chorus]

I know you can make it,
Keep holdin' on because times is hard
It feels so good
To get close to you, can't give it up
Let me satisfy your life's desires
I wanna take you there
Opportunity knocks with passion and emotion

[Male:] I'm gonna make you love me
[Chaka:] Ooh, say it again and again and again and again
[Male:] I'm gonna make you love me if it's the last thing I do
[Chaka:] I'm gonna make you wish that there were two of you

Gonna make you love me, babe, Gonna make you love me (7x)
Gonna make you love me, babe, again and again and a-
Gonna make you love me, babe, gonna make you love me
Gonna make you love me, babe, again and again and a-

"Telephone"

"Telephone"


Sitting by the telephone
Waiting for a bell to ring
I don't want another call
I just want to hold you

I'm givin' my everything
Givin' all my time
So darlin', darlin', darlin', darlin' call
Won't you call me boy

I'll go anywhere you want
I'll be anything you say
All I want is to feel your arms around me

I'm givin' my everything
Givin' all my time
So darlin', darlin', darlin', darlin' please
(Won't you)

[Chorus:]
Stay with me baby
Stay here for a little while
Won't you say you'll stay here for the night
Stay right here with me sweet baby
Stay here for a little while
For a while

I'm sitting at my window
And I look
Where are you

I wonder if you even know
You belong to me
No matter where you roam
You've got to take me

I'm givin' my everything
Givin' all my time
So darlin', darlin', darlin', darlin' please
(Won't you)

Even if I have to wait all night
I don't even care
I've waited all my life
Let me love you

I'm givin' my everything
Givin' all my time
So darlin', darlin', darlin', darlin' please
(Won't you)

"The Best Is Yet To Come"

"The Best Is Yet To Come"



Out of the tree of life I just picked me a plum
You came along and everything's startin' to hum
Still, it's a real good bet, the best is yet to come

Best is yet to come and babe, won't that be fine?
You think you've seen the sun, but you ain't seen it shine

A-Wait till the warm-up's underway
Wait till our lips have met
And wait till you see that sunshine day
You ain't seen nothin' yet

The best is yet to come and babe, won't it be fine?
Best is yet to come, come the day you're mine

Come the day you're mine
I'm gonna teach you to fly
We've only tasted the wine
We're gonna drain the cup dry

Wait till your charms are right for these arms to surround
You think you've flown before, but baby, you ain't left the ground

A-Wait till you're locked in my embrace
Wait till I draw you near
A-Wait till you see that sunshine place
Ain't nothin' like it here

The best is yet to come and babe, won't it be fine?
The best is yet to come, come the day you're mine

Come the day you're mine
And you're gonna be mine

"The Drama"

"The Drama"


In this ever-changing world
Where things become unfurled
And tethered
Like a lioness in her pride
I was gonna stay by your side
Forever

As a planet keeps her moon
Your love I had assumed
And taken
And if this love can't come to pass
Then I would be alas
Forsaken

[Chorus:]
The drama of the chase
The look upon your face
Make up your mind
It would be a waste
If you didn't love me
It would be the drama of all time

If I'm not good enough for you
What else could I do?
I could change
You know, they say like wine
You get better with passin' time
How strange :.
I wish that in your eyes
You saw me like the others
See me
I could never say enough
Darlin' just how much I
Wish you'd keep me

[Chorus]

Drama, drama of all time

It's been ten long years
Since I fell in love so dear
It's got to be the drama of all time
Called you on the telephone
And wondered if you were alone
It's got to be the drama of all time
When I called you back, it was busy
What was that?
It's a drama, drama of all time
Who were you with last night?
Busy, busy, you must be busier
Than a one-legged man in a kick fight
Got to be the drama of all time
Drama, drama of all time

"The End Of A Love Affair"
(feat. George Benson)

"The End Of A Love Affair"
(feat. George Benson)



So I walk a little too fast and I drive a little too fast
And I'm reckless it's true, but what else can you do
At the end of a love affair?

So I talk a little too much and I laugh a little too much
And my voice is too loud when I'm out in a crowd
So that people are apt to stare

Do they know, do they care, that it's only that I'm lonely
And low as can be?
And the smile on my face isn't really a smile at all!

So I smoke a little too much and I drink a little too much
And the tunes I request aren't always the best
But the ones where the trumpets blare!

So I go at a maddening pace, and I pretend that it's taking your place
But what else can you do, at the end of a love affair?

So I smoke a little too much and I drink a little too much
And the tunes I request aren't always the best
But the ones where the trumpets blare!

So I go at a maddening pace, and I pretend that it's taking your place
But what else can you do, at the end of a love affair?

"The Message In The Middle Of The Bottom"

"The Message In The Middle Of The Bottom"


I never meant a single thing when you tried it
You know it, I felt it, I liked it, I did it
I never meant to put it there but somewhere In dispair
It got moved into view, then I liked it
I never meant a single word when I said I could love you
I thought it, I heard it, I used it
I never meant a single beat of my heart to be yours
'Cause I knew, if you knew, you'd abuse it

[Chorus:]
There's a message in the middle of the bottom
You see 'em, you love 'em, you got 'em
There's a proper time to pick 'em when they're fallen
Just listen, you'll hear 'em a-callin
There's a special way to know you got his lovin'
Can't you feel it, you ought to, you taught him
There's a special time for lovin' and another time
For huggin and a lot of time to leave him alone

I have a feelin' deep inside that I've got you
I'll keep you. why not? it'll make me feel better
If there's a woman on this earth who should love you
It's me boy, don't fight it, admit it, you love it
If you think there's someone else who can move you
I'll lose you, no problem, you're free to go get her
I just refuse to let a lady step in on my show
If you choose, do it now or forget it

[Chorus]

I never meant a single thing when you tried it
You know it, I felt it, I liked it, I did it
I never meant to put it there but somewhere In dispair
It got moved into view, then I liked it
I never meant a single word when I said I could love you
I thought it, I heard it, I used it
I never meant a single beat of my heart to be yours
'Cause I knew, if you knew, you'd abuse it

[Chorus]

There's a special time for lovin' and another time
For huggin and a lot of time to leave him alone.

Message in the middle of the bottom
Message in the middle of the bottom
Message in the middle of the bottom
Message in the middle of the bottom
Message in the middle of the bottom

"The Other Side Of The World"

"The Other Side Of The World"



A penny has two faces
When one of them you have to choose
Between the two places
One must win and one must lose

You say you have a sense of freedom
Whenever you're away from here
Put your hand on your heart and tell me
That you never shed a tear

Aw, what you doing babe
On the other side of the world
With all those fancy girls
Never believe their hearts are stone
They may warm your bed when you're alone
But I can warm your heart and soul
On the other side of the world

Life is only snakes and ladders
Sometimes up and sometimes down
It doesn't really matter baby
When you got love around

Aw, but you won't find that lovin', no
On the other side of the world
With all those crazy girls
Never believe their hearts are stone
They may warm your bed when you're alone
But I can warm your heart and soul
On the other side of the world

I'll be waitin' for you
Never believe their hearts are stone
They may warm your bed when you're alone
But I can warm your heart and soul
On the other side of the world
On the other side of the world
On the other side of the world
On the other side of the world
On the other side of the world
On the other side of the world

"The Woman I Am"

"The Woman I Am"



Hey sister
I never knew which way to go
Everybody had an answer
So I said
Go lecture someone, go lecture someone

I could feel it in my heart babe
I couldn't scream, I couldn't shout
I had to find out in my own way
Ran into someone - ran into someone

I'll be the woman I am
Now I don't have to hide
All that I feel inside
I'll be the woman I am
Just had to let it show
Had nowhere else to go

I had to learn to trust myself
I had to learn just when to say no
Always trying to please someone else
I had to let go, I had to let go

The world is filled of many wonders
I had to look to heaven for my own
I saw the star that I was unter
Lord lead me back home, lead me back home

I'll be the woman I am
Now I don't have to hide
All that I feel inside
I'll be the woman I am
Just had to let it show
Had nowhere else to go

I can look at myself and I'm not afraid
I have finally learned how to love
I can feel everything that I've never felt
And I'm sure now that I've always known

"Them There Eyes"

"Them There Eyes"



I fell in love with you
the first time I looked into...them there eyes

You've got a certain way,
a cute way of flirtin with...them there eyes

They make me feel so happy
they make me feel so blue

I'm fallin', no stallin'
Fallin' in a great big way for you

My heart is jumpin'
You started something with...them there eyes

You better look out
Little brown eyes, if you're wise

They sparkle, they bubble
Gonna get you in a whole lotta trouble
OOooo baby... them there eyes...

"This Crazy Life Of Mine"

"This Crazy Life Of Mine"



This is a story of mind, soul and heart
Come to think of it, don't know where to start
I'd take it from the top but we don't have that much time
So I'm breakin' off a piece of this crazy life of mine

As a little girl, I had a stubborn mind
Bonnie and me were wild most of the time
I used to sing for mama's company
I guess that was the start of the woman I came to be

Sometimes young, yet so old
Warm to the touch, intellectually cold
I love the how and why of it
Thank God the pieces seem to fit
Pieces seem to fit in this crazy life of mine

Never will forget from whence I came
I have some regrets, but I made myself a name
Two times a mother and as many times wed
Tough times were around me, but better times ahead
If your heart can handle these words I've said
I see you and me in this crazy life of mine
Mine...
Gotcha!
