"Goddess Of Change"

"Goddess Of Change"



Oh my
I was looking for the sunshine
For the bright side
To those gloomy clouds of steely grey

It all rests on this
How do I see things now
In my average day
Am I an average Joe
Or do I seize the moment
And call on Oya
The goddess of change

Oh my
It's funny how things turn out fine
Worries
They always seem much worse at night

It all rests on this
How do I see things now
In my average day

Am I an average Joe
Or do I seize the moment
And call on Oya
The goddess of change

Seeing lover's embrace
Makes you want to find your
Corner of happiness
Call the goddess Oya

(Answer)
Everybody looking for
Something to make them
Much more happy and
Somewhat sweeter than
Seize the moment
Call on Oya

I don't wanna get up
A couple of hours after we've made love
I don't wanna go home, baby

"He Wants Her"

"He Wants Her"



He's a tom cat, a stallion
After a lusty mare
She kicks and bolts
With love big eyes
He just hangs on in there

He wants her, and it's simple man
He wants her, 'cos she's his kind
He wants her, he wants her, he wants her

He's a rat, a fighter
They're a match
What he wants he means to get
You better understand

And he want her, to bear his child
He wants her to love her man
He wants her, he wants her, he wants her

He wants to be a lion to her lamb
You know he means to love her all he can
He want to be a lion to her lamb
You know he means to love her all he can
He wants her, he wants her, he wants her

He's a fox, a rooster
After a broodin' hen
Watch out ma'am he says you can't
Rough on this male man

He wants her, with all her frills
He wants her, to give him thrills,
He wants her, he wants her, he wants her, he wants her

"Head Of The Table"

"Head Of The Table"



Caught this bit of news
From unexpected quarters
You in your close-knit family
Who says what you should be after
Don't you know what you should be after
Unless you consult the head of the table
The head of the table
He's stern and strong

Caught this bit of news
From unexpected quarters
Such a close-knit family
Keeps you on the straight and narrow
You find that you're unable
To do what you want
The head of the table
He's stern and strong

So run along
Little boy run along
The head of the table would bend
If you're able to prove that you're right
And he's wrong

"Hearts And Flowers"

"Hearts And Flowers"



You've got the sweet innocent smile
Eyes to idolize
Shivers down my spine
Take my breath away
I want to thank you for the love you gave
And I want to thank you for the heart you saved

Thank you
Thank you for the love
I want to thank you for the hearts and flowers

People let me say
Mmm this is nice
I know you think I'm foolish
And I'm making a mistake but
To me this is perfect
I want to

Thank you
Thank you for the love
I can't believe it's really happening to me

Thank you
Thank you for the love
I want to thank you for the hearts and flowers
Oh yeah

I want to thank you for our rainy days
And I want to thank you for the love you gave
And I want to thank you for the month of May
'Cos that's when you came and took my tears away
And I want to thank you
Want to thank you

Want to thank you for our rainy days
And I want to thank you for the love you gave
And I want to thank you for the month of May
'Cos that's when you came and stole my heart away

And I want to thank you
Want to thank you

Thank you for the love
I want to thank you for the hearts and flowers
Oh yeah

"Heaven"

"Heaven"



Came into my life
Made me think that I
Was really something
Took me by surprise
Someone with your charm
Looking my way

Am I in heaven
Am I in heaven
Am I in heaven
Have I gone up
Have I gone up
To the big cloud
Number nine

Hey you
Brought me out of my shell
I don't know why you care
But you do it well
Started a dream
Dreaming made me see
Oh babe
You're so right for me

And I wanna be the sunshine when you're down
And I wanna be the apple of your eye
And I wanna be the one you run to

Cause I found the perfect someone
Who can take me in their arms and love me
I found the perfect someone
Who could take me in their arms and love me

Started a dream
Dreaming made me see
Oh babe
You're so right for me

And I wanna be the sunshine when you're down
And I wanna be the apple of your eye
And I wanna be the one you run to
Day and night

Came into my life
Made me think that I
Was really something
Took me by surprise
Someone with your charm
Looking my way

Am I in heaven
Am I in heaven
Am I in heaven
Have I gone up
Have I gone up
Have I gone up
To the big cloud
Number nine

And I wanna be the sunshine when you're down
And I wanna be the apple of your eye
And I wanna be the one you run to
Day and night

I wanna be the sunshine when you're down
And I wanna be the apple of your eye
And I wanna be the one you run to
Day and night

"Help Yourself"

"Help Yourself"



If you're gonna do it do it right
Don't leave it overnight
If you're gonna help me help me now
Another ten minutes will be too late

Like a crying child
I need comfort now
Don't pick me up
When the tears are dry on my face

Need someone to help me
But not you, you're not ready
Seems you have trouble helping yourself

It takes time to notice
But you don't seem to know time keeps moving
What you're doing is wasting my time
You would help me more
Help me more if you helped yourself
Help yourself
Help yourself

You wanna get yourself together
Don't you wanna put yourself to right
I said get yourself together
Don't you wanna put yourself to right
I said no, don't apologise
You've done your best
Seems it still ain't right
Leave me alone
No more to be said
To get it right you got to do it yourself

I'm going out to help myself
Help myself
Help myself
I'm going out to help myself
Help myself
Help myself

If you're gonna say it say it now
Don't leave it overnight
If you're gonna hold me hold me tight
I don't wanna leave
Not if it seems all right

Like a crying child
I need comfort now
Don't pick me up
When the tears are dry on my face

You've got to govern the situation
Nut not you, you're no
And anyway, hold up
Hold up
Hold up
You're trying to sort out your mind

You've got to get it together
You've got to get it together
It would help me more
Help more if you helped yourself

"How Cruel"

"How Cruel"



Some people want to see my blood gush out
And others want to watch while I cry
I heard somebody say once I was way too black
And someone answers she's not black enough for me

I bite my tongue and it bites me back
I bought a house and the neighbours moved
I had a dog but it was stolen

Some people say that it's coming
And I'll get it
It must be something I have no control of
They'll put the skin of the fruit on the ground
And I'll slip and fall

Oh how cruel to make a girl cry
Oh how cruel to make a girl cry
Oh how cruel to make a girl cry

I have no hope in hell and I want to get to heaven
Too many lies or not enough sinnin'

Some people say that it's coming
And I'll get it
It must be something I have no control of
They'll put the skin of the fruit on the ground
And I'll slip and fall

Oh how cruel to make a girl cry
Oh how cruel to make a girl cry
Oh how cruel to make a girl cry

"I Can't Lie To Myself"

"I Can't Lie To Myself"



Why here
Why now
Why so early
Why you getting down on me
You know you're a
Beautiful person
But just now
You bother me

It's so coincidental
You reaching out for me
Just when I got
All this money
And you
Footloose and fancy free

I love you like a broth
I'll help you find you feet
But don't take advantage honey
Your feet ain't under me

Why so tall
So young
So handsome
You get the best of me
In your eyes
I see a reflection
You the beauty I'm the beast

You got yourself a lover
Can't take for a ride
But you know I love you honey
I cannot lie

You want some money
Kiss and cuddle too
Take it all now baby
It's always been for you

I can't lie to myself

"I Love My Baby"

"I Love My Baby"



My baby says to me
Come over here
And talk with me

I go and I sit down
We talk about the
Joy we've found

I love my baby
I love my baby so much
I love my baby
I love my baby so much
So much
So much love

Love to hear you
Call my name out loud
Love to hear you say
I make you proud

But will it end now
We can't say
Will we be happy
All the way

I love my baby
I love my baby so much
I love my baby
I love my baby so much
So much
So much love
I love my baby
I love my baby so much
I love my baby
I love my baby so much
So much
So much
So much
So much love...
