"Stop! In The Name Of Love"

"Stop! In The Name Of Love"


Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart

Baby, baby
I'm aware of where you go
Each time you leave my door
I watch you walk down the street
Knowing your other love you'll meet
But this time before you run to her
Leaving me alone and hurt
(Think it over) After I've been good to you ?
(Think it over) After I've been sweet to you ?

Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart
Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart
Think it over
Think it over

I've known of your
Your secluded nights
I've even seen her
Maybe once or twice
But is her sweet expression
Worth more than my love and affection ?
But this time before you leave my arms
And rush of to her charms
(Think it over) Haven't I been good to you ?
(Think it over) Haven't I been sweet to you ?

Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart
Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart
Think it over
Think it over

I've tried so hard, hard to be patient
Hoping you'd stop this infatuation
But each time you are together
I'm so afraid I'll be losing you forever

Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart
Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart
Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart

Baby, think it over
Think it over, baby
Ooh, think it over baby...

"Stop! Look, Listen (To Your Heart)"

"Stop! Look, Listen (To Your Heart)"


[Marvin]
You're alone all the time
Does it ever puzzle you
Have you asked why
You seem to fall in love and out again
Do you really ever love
Or just pretend, oh, baby
Why fool yourself
Don't be afraid to help yourself
It's never too late, too late to
Stop, look, yes, listen to your heart
Hear what it's sayin'
Stop, look, listen to your heart
Hear what it's sayin'
Love, oh, love, love
[Diana]
Though you try, you can't hide
All the things you really feel
This time decide
That you will open up, let it in
There's no shame in sharin' love you feel within
So jump right in
Head over heels and fall right in
It's never too late, too late to
Stop, look, listen to your heart
Hear what it's sayin'
Stop, look, oh, listen to your heart
Hear what it's sayin'
Love, love, love
[Both]
Darlin', darlin', stop and look
(Stop right now and listen to your heart)
Oh, listen to your heart hear what it's sayin'
(Can't you see that it's not too late)
Stop and look
And listen to your heart hear what it's sayin'
Stop and listen to your heart right now
(Stop, look)
(Listen to your heart hear what's it's sayin')
Oh, can't you see that it's not too late
(Stop, look)
(Listen to your heart hear what it's sayin')
Darlin', stop and look
And listen to your heart hear what it's sayin'
Stop, baby
(Stop right now and listen to your heart)
And listen to your heart hear what it's sayin'
(Ooh, ooh, can't you see that it's not too late)

"Strange Fruit"

"Strange Fruit"


Southern trees bear a strange fruit
Blood on the leaves and blood at the roots
Black bodies swingin' in the southern breeze
Strange fruit hangin' from the poplar trees

Pastoral scene of the gallant south
The bulging eyes and twisted mouth
Scent of magnolias sweet and fresh
And the sudden smell of burning flesh

Here is the fruit
For the crows to pluck
For the rain to gather
For the wind to suck
For the sun to rot
For the tree to drop

Here is a strange and bitter crop

"Stranger In Paradise"

"Stranger In Paradise"


The twilight falls on shadowed walls
The day dissolves into the point of no return
We cross the line with silent signs
The night seduces us of the possibilities
Can it be, that finally
Take me to the fantasies

I'm a stranger in paradise
And it's a long way to the ground
I'm a stranger in paradise
Don't let, don't let me down

The moon escapes, and I awake
I lie and listen to the music of your breathing
I catch my breath, remembering
I have to touch you just to see if I'm still dreaming
What remains when night has gone
Cover me in shades of dawn

I'm a stranger in paradise
And it's a long way to the ground
I'm a stranger in paradise
Don't let, don't let me down
Can it be, finally
Take me to the fantasies

I'm a stranger in paradise
And it's a long way to the ground
I'm a stranger in paradise
Don't let, don't let me down

I'm a stranger in paradise
Don't let, don't let me down

Stranger, I'm a stranger
Stranger, stranger, stranger

"Sugar Free"

"Sugar Free"


Here I am
I'm confident and I've gone on with my life
Ever since that day you said goodbye
But it's evident to me that you're hurting inside

You sound alone
And more bitter as each minute goes by
And you never were that way when I was in your life
Have the sweeter things all been left behind

Oh baby without my love
You'll always be sugar free
And you'll miss me

Oh baby, I'm the sweetest taste
That you could ever receive
My baby, yeah

I can't believe that you thought a substitute would set you free
But instead it locked you down without a key
And you're thinking about how it used to be

There is a lesson to be learned
You hurt me baby
Now the tables have turned

Oh baby without my love
You'll always be sugar free
Baby, baby sugar free

Oh baby, I'm the sweetest taste
That you could ever receive
You miss me

Oh baby without my love
You'll always be sugar free
Sugar free, baby

Oh baby, I'm the sweetest taste
That you could ever receive
Ever receive

I know you miss my loving
It's as plain as I can see
You can't deny it baby
Without my love you're sugar free

I know you miss my loving
It's as plain as I can see
You can't deny it baby
Without my love you're sugar free

Oh baby without my love
You'll always be sugar free
Sugar free, sugar free

Oh baby, I'm the sweetest taste
That you could ever receive

"Summertime"

"Summertime"


Summertime when will you come
I wanna put my light things on
I wanna put my winter life away
Summertime I need a sunny day
I want those peaches on the table
I want the watermelon red
And the warm sun creeping through the window
To ease me out of bed
I want the sand out there to lie on
And the sea out there to swim
So my heart can take a holiday
From breakin' over him
Summertime when will you come
I wanna put my light things on
I wanna put my winter life away
Summertime I need a sunny day
And I want to drive forever
Wanna roll the windows down
Get the breeze back on my body
Get my feet back on the ground
I want the sand out there to lie on
And the sea out there to swim
So my heart can take a holiday
From breakin' over him
Summertime when will you come
I wanna put my light things on
I wanna put my winter life away
Summertime I need a sunny day

"Surrender"

"Surrender"


I want the love that you deny me
That I need so desperately
The tenderness that you posses
You've deprived me

You must pray for the lonely night
That I walked the floor for you
And don't know you must erase
All the tearstairs on my face

Surrender your love baby
Surrender your love
Surrender your love baby
Surrender your love

Don't you know that I'm taking my case
To the highest court of love
And these are some of the charges
You'll be found guilty of

You've used me and abused me
'Till I felt like I wanted to die
You created a need in me
That only you can satisfy

Surrender your love baby
Surrender your love
Come along peacefully
Surrender your love baby
Surrender your love

Give it to me, ah right now
Give it to me, give it to me
Give it to me all, give it to me
Ah, right now, give it to me
Give it to me, give it to me

Surrender your love baby
Surrender your love
Surrender your love baby
Surrender your love

Surrender your love baby
Surrender your love
Surrender your love baby
Surrender your love

"Sweet Nothings"

"Sweet Nothings"


Uh-huh honey
All right
My baby whispers in my ear
Mm, sweet nothings
He knows the things I like to hear
Mm, sweet nothings
Things he wouldn't tell nobody else

Secret, baby
I keep it to myself
Sweet nothings
We walk along hand in hand
Mm, sweet nothings
Yeah, we both understand
Mm, sweet nothings

He certainly takes
The time to read my book
My baby, give me that special look
Sweet nothings
Mm, sweet nothings

Uh-huh honey
I'm sitting on my front porch
Mm, sweet nothings
Well, do I love you?
Of course
Mm, sweet nothings

Mama turned on
The front porch light
And said
"Come in darling
That's enough for tonight"
Sweet nothings
Mm, sweet nothings
Sweet nothings
Mm, sweet nothings
Sweet nothings

"Sweet Surrender"

"Sweet Surrender"


You keep running to me
And I keep running for cover
I'm not gonna give in
You may be my kind of lover

You move closer to me
Give a chance, you can find
I'm right in the thought of you
Overtakin' my mind

But ('cause) when you hold me close
So warm and tender
Oh, sweet surrender

You keep running to me
I keep running for cover
I won't give in to you
Though you're my kind of lover

But ('cause) when you hold me close
So warm and tender
Oh, sweet surrender

You're shaking me up
With just your touch
You know I wanted you so
I wanna give it all up
You can do what you wanna do
I can't resist, I surrender to you

It's gotta be fate
'Cause I can't deny you
Can't change the way I feel
No matter how I try to

But ('cause) when you hold me close
So warm and tender
Oh, sweet surrender

Oh, sweet surrender
You shake me up
With just a touch
You know I wanted you so
I'm gonna give it all up
You can do what you wanna do
I can't resist, I surrender to you

It's gotta be fate
'Cause I can't deny you
Can't change the way I feel
No matter how I try to

But ('cause) when you hold me close
So warm and tender
Oh, sweet surrender

I can't deny you
Hold me close
Hold me

"Swept Away"

"Swept Away"


I was lying there
Lying on the beach
I dreamed you were there
Feel the heat
The sun and the waves
When you touch my hand
We were on a desert island
And I had a dream
I was swept away

You and I are on an island
Where I thought the storm would never end
I saw your light on the horizon
And I knew that I was blown away again

No it doesn't matter
Yeah, it doesn't matter
'Cause nothing lasts forever
'Cause nothing last forever

No it doesn't matter
No it doesn't matter
'Cause nothing lasts forever
Nothing last forever

I was swept away
I was swept away
I was swept away with you
I was swept away
I was swept away
I was swept away with you

The rise and fall is endless
The risk you run of being lost in blue
You caught my drift while I was restless
Where the current flows
I'm gonna flow away with you

No it doesn't matter
Yeah, it doesn't matter
'Cause nothing last forever
Nothing last forever

No it doesn't matter
No it doesn't matter
'Cause nothing last forever
Nothing last forever

I was swept away
I was swept away
I was swept away with you
I was swept away
I was swept away
I was swept away with you

For a day
Or maybe for a lifetime
Break away
Is he throwing me a lifeline
If I say
That this will be the last time
Swept away
Will it end with you?

I was swept away
Swept away
Swept away

No it won't, no it won't
No it doesn't matter
Nothing last forever
