"'T Ain't Nobody's Bizness If I Do"

"'T Ain't Nobody's Bizness If I Do"


There ain't nothin' I can do
Or nothing I can say
That folks don't criticize me
But I'm gonna do what I want to anyway
And I don't care just what people say

If I should take a notion to jump into the ocean
'T ain't nobody's bizness if I do

If I go to church on sunday then cabaret all day monday
'T ain't nobody's bizness if I do

If my man ain't got no money and I say take all mine honey
'T ain't nobody's bizness if I do

If I give him my last nickle and it leaves me in a pickle
'T ain't nobody's bizness if I do

I'd rather my man would hit me than for him to jump up and quit me
'T ain't nobody's bizness if I do

I swear I won't call no coppa if I'm beat up by my poppa
'T ain't nobody's bizness if I do

Nobody's bizness, ain't nobody's bizness
Nobody's biznes if I do

"(Don't Break These) Chains Of Love"

"(Don't Break These) Chains Of Love"


Please don't ever break these chains of love
You've wrapped around me
'Cause I've been so happy darling
Ever since the day you've bound me

So tighter, pull 'em tighter
Till I feel love's sweet pain
'Cause these chains of love
Keep me from going insane

Love, oh love sweet love
Comes but once in a lifetime
The only love I need is yours
And oh, darling, I hope you need mine

So tighter, pull 'em tighter
Till I feel love's sweet pain
'Cause these chains of love
Keep me from going insane

I felt so sure I could resist you
My mistake was the first time I kissed you
Now I'm caught in a web of my own making

My heart's full of love and it's yours for the taking
Ooh, take it, baby don't break it
Just like a thief in the night
You stole my heart away
But now that you stolen it darling
I've only got one thing to say

Tighter, pull 'em tighter
Till I feel love's sweet pain
'Cause these chains of love
Keep me from going insane

These chains of love
Tighter, tighter, tighter these chains
Chains of love
Baby, baby, baby these chains
Chains of love
Lock 'em up, lock 'em up, lock 'em up
Chains

"(I Love) Being In Love With You"

"(I Love) Being In Love With You"


I thought I'd already touched the sky
I got to know you and I don't know why
But all of my life couldn't mean as much
As just being touched by you

I never thought of me growing up
Got my directions but the road was rough
It's only the dream of a teenage queen
But somehow I made it through

And I'd love to see
Those faces of those friends I left behind
And even those who spoke for me
Just trying to be kind
And no one said I love you just the way
I know you do

And I love being in love with you
Living inside your heart
The giving and the taking
You are not forsaken
I love being in love with you
Thank you just for choosing me
That we should be
Being in love forever
And ever, ever

I stare and wonder at what I found
I just discovered why the world is round
Round in a circle my arms will be
And doing the same as you
It ain't right it's only for you and me
Only the lonely do it seperately
Keep it alive on the food of love
But only the chosen few

In my life you see some changes in me
We listen and we grow
Any child that clings to childish things
Is trying to let go
And up to now
I'd thought I'd seen as far as I could see

And I love being in love with you
Living inside your heart
The giving and the taking
You are not forsaken
I love being in love with you
Thank you just for choosing me
That we should be
Being in love forever
And ever, ever

And I love being in love with you
Living inside your heart
The giving and the taking
You are not forsaken
I love being in love with you
Thank you just for choosing me
That we should be

I love being in love with you
Living inside your heart
The giving and the taking
You are not forsaken
I love being in love with you

"(I'm A) Mean Ole Lion"

"(I'm A) Mean Ole Lion"


Say what you wanna
But I'm here to stay
'Cause I'm a mean ole lion
You can go where you're gonna
But don't get in my way
I'm a mean ole lion

You'll be standing in a draft
If you don't hear me laugh
And if you happen to come around
Well, you best not make me frown
For I just might knock you down
I'm a mean ole lion

You know I'm ready to fight
And turn your day into night
'Cause I'm a mean ole lion
If you're half bright
You'll detour to the right
From a mean ole lion

All you strangers better beware
This is the king of the jungle here
And if I happen to let you slide
Don't just stand here
Run and hide
You just caught my better side

I'm a mean ole lion

Look,
You better beware
This is the king of the jungle here
And if I happen to let you slide
Don't stand here
Run and hide
You just caught my better side

I'm a mean ole lion
I'm a mean ole lion

"(They Long To Be) Close To You"

"(They Long To Be) Close To You"


Why do birds suddenly appear
Everytime you are near?
Just like me,
They long to be close to you

Why do stars fall down from the sky
Everytime you walk by
Just like me,
They long to be close to you

From the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moondust in your hair
Of gold, and starlight in your eyes of blue

Ah, that is why the girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me,
They long to be close to you

Just like me,
They long to be close to you
Just like me,
They long to be close to you

From the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moondust in your hair
Of gold, and starlight in your eyes of blue

Ah, that is why the girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me,
They long to be close to you

Like me, like me, like me
I wanna be close to you

Woo, Ah, close to you
Woo, me too
I wanna be close to you

Ooh, I wanna be, me too
I wanna be close to you

From the day that you were born
The angels got together
A dream come true
That's you, that's you
And I wanna be close to you

"A Brand New Day (Everybody Rejoice) / Liberation Ballet"

"A Brand New Day (Everybody Rejoice) / Liberation Ballet"


Everybody look around
'Cause there's a reason to rejoice you see
Everybody come out
And let's commence to singing joyfully
Everybody look up
And feel the hope that we've been waiting for

Everybody's glad
Because our silent fear and dread is gone
Freedom, you see, has got our hearts singing so joyfully
Just look about
You owe it to yourself to check it out
Can't you feel a brand new day?
Can't you feel a brand new day?
Can't you feel a brand new day?
Can't you feel a brand new day?

Everybody be glad
Because the sun is shining just for us
Everybody wake up
Into the morning into happiness

Hello world
It's like a different way of living now
And thank you world
We always knew that we'd be free somehow
In harmony
And show the world that we've got liberty

It's such a change
For us to live so independently
Freedom, you see, has got our hearts singing so joyfully
Just look about
You owe it to yourself to check it out
Can't you feel a brand new day?
Can't you feel a brand new day?

Everybody be glad
Because the sun is shining just for us
Everybody wake up
Into the morning into happiness
Hello world
It's like a different way of living now
And thank you world
We always knew that we'd be free somehow
In harmony
And show the world that we've got liberty

It's such a change
For us to live so independently
Freedom, you see, has got our hearts singing so joyfully
Just look about
You owe it to yourself to check it out
Can't you feel a brand new day?
Can't you feel a brand new day?
Can't you feel a brand new day?
Can't you feel a brand new day?

"A Simple Thing Like Cry"

"A Simple Thing Like Cry"


If it didn't hurt so bad
If it didn't hurt so bad
Maybe I could cry

If I thought it was all a joke
And you were putting me on
If I could just make a wish
And this moment would be all gone
If I could see a trace of hope
Somewhere in your eyes
Maybe then I could do
A simple thing like cry

If it didn't hurt so bad
If it didn't hurt so bad
Maybe I could cry

Don't you know I plan to spend
Every moment of my life with you
Now you're trying to tell me
That my dreams just won't come true
Thanks for giving me a million reasons why
But it hurts too bad to do
A simple thing like cry

If I thought it was all a joke
And you were putting me on
If I could just make a wish
And this moment would be all gone
If I could see a trace of hope
Somewhere in your eyes
Maybe then I could do
A simple thing like cry

If it didn't hurt so bad
If it didn't hurt me so bad
Maybe I could
If it didn't hurt so bad
Maybe I could cry
I could cry, cry
If it didn't hurt me
If I didn't love you
Hurt me

"After You"

"After You"


Raining again
I ought to get out from under
Sometimes I wonder
Sometimes I don't wonder at all

And as for loving again
Somewhere somebody might need me
But where would it lead me?
I'd just be rising to fall

Love was easy to believe in
When you wanted me yesterday
But I couldn't feel the touch of time upon tomorrow

After you
What am I gonna be?
You took a part of me
As you were passing through

After you
How am I gonna find
The me I left behind
That I'll meet after you

Drifting again
From place to place without reason
Season to season
I just keep running away

And as for people again
I'm just a girl who discovers
Now and then lovers
Who never ask me to stay

Love was easy to believe in
When I walked in the light of you
Now I'm walking by myself
And all I see is darkness

After you
What am I gonna be?
You took a part of me
As you were passing through

After you
How am I gonna find
The me I left behind
That I'll meet after you

Raining again
I ought to get out from under
Sometimes I wonder
Sometimes I don't wonder at all

After you
How am I gonna find
The me I left behind
That I'll meet after you

After you
What am I gonna be
You took a part of me
As you were passing through

Raining again
Raining again
Raining again

After you
What am I gonna be
Raining again

"Ain't No Mountain High Enough"

"Ain't No Mountain High Enough"


If you need me, call me
No matter where you are
No matter how far
Just call my name
I'll be there in a hurry
On that you can depend and never worry

No wind, (no wind)
No rain, (no rain)
Nor winter's cold
Can stop me, babe
(Oh, babe) baby (baby)
If you're my goal

No wind, (no wind)
No rain, (no rain)
Can stop me, babe
If you wanna go

I know, I know you must follow the sun
Wherever it leads
But remember
If you should fall short of your desires
Remember life holds for you one guarantee
You'll always have me

And if you should miss my lovin
One of these old days
If you should ever miss the arms
That used to hold you so close, or the lips
That used to touch you so tenderly
Just remember what I told you
The day I set you free

Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wild enough
To keep me from you

Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
(Say it again)
Ain't no river wild enough
To keep me from you

Ain't no mountain high enough
Nothing can keep me
Keep me from you

Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
(Say it again)
Ain't no river wild enough
To keep me from you

Ain't no mountain high enough
Nothing can keep me
To keep me from you

"Ain't No Sad Song"

"Ain't No Sad Song"


Baby, the love we used to share
Has faded day by day
And now you wanna leave me
So you're lookin' for away
And if you see a tear in my eye
It's not for you I cry

Don't you know I tried to make our love
Like every love should be
You say it ain't enough
So you're walking out on me
But if you can't find just what you want
Don't you come runnin' back to me

Baby, I know you think I'm at home
Cryin' the blues
But remember darlin'
Somebody else will want what you couldn't use
Oh, yeah, what you couldn't use

Ain't no sad song
Since you've been gone
Ain't no sad song
Since you've been gone
You made me so very, very happy boy
But if you don't wanna be mine

Hey, when will I stop lovin' you
Oh baby, I don't know, I don't know
All my friends give me advice
They say hang on, girl
Ooh, but I want him
Hang on girl
I don't need him

The clock didn't stop ticking
'Cause you let me be
Time will let nobody
Take your love from me

You made me so very, very happy boy
But if you don't wanna be mine
I know you wanna be
With someone for yourself
But I know you don't want me
To be with no one else

Ain't no sad song
Since you've been gone
Ain't no sad song
Since you've been gone
Ain't no sad song
Since you've been gone
