"I'm In Love Again"

"I'm In Love Again"


Early in the morning, sitting here all alone
Waitin' for my baby to call me on the telephone
I'm in love, I'm in love, feel good all the time.

I said I can't sleep at night, turning from side to side
The woman that I'm lovin', she stays on my mind
I'm in love, I'm in love, feels good all the time.

Now let's get it now baby!

Let me tell you baby, I'll tell you what I want to do
I would rob, steal, kill somebody to get some money for you
'Cause I'm in love, I'm in love, feels good all the time.

Now let's get it one more time baby!

Let me tell you baby, tell you what it's all about
When I see you, honey child, you make me wanna jump and shout
I'm in love, I'm in love, feels good all the time.

Early in the morning, sitting here all alone
Waitin' for my baby to call me on the telephone
I'm in love, I'm in love, feels good all the time
I'm in love, I'm in love, feels good all the time.

"If I Had A Hammer"

"If I Had A Hammer"


If I had a hammer, I'd hammer in the morning
I'd hammer in the evening all over this land
I'd hammer out danger, I'd hammer out a warning
I'd hammer out love between my brothers and my sisters
All over this land.

If I had a bell, I'd ring it in the morning
I'd ring it in the evening all over this land
I'd ring out danger, I'd ring out a warning
I'd ring out love between my brothers and my sister
All over this land.

If I had a song, I'd sing it in the morning
I'd sing it in the evening all over this land
I'd sing out danger, I'd sing out a warning
I'd sing out love between my brothers and my sisters
All over this land.

Well I got a hammer and I got a bell
And I got a song to sing all over this land
It's the hammer of Justice, it's the bell of Freedom
It's the song about Love between my brothers and my sisters
All over this land.

It's the hammer of Justice, it's the bell of Freedom
It's the song about love between my brothers and my sisters
All over this land.

"If I Were A Carpenter"

"If I Were A Carpenter"


If I were a carpenter and you were a lady,
would you marry me anyway?
would you have my baby?

If a tinker were my trade,
would you still find me,
carrying the pots I made
following behind me?

Save my love through loneliness
save my love through sorrow.
I've given you my onliness.
Come give me your tomorrow.

If I worked my hands in wood,
would you still love me?
Answer me, baby, yes, I would.
I'd put you above me.

If I were a miller at a mill wheel grinding,
would you miss that pretty dress,
and those soft shoes shinin'?

Save my love through loneliness
save my love through sorrow.
I've given you my onliness.
Come give me your tomorrow.

If I worked my hands in wood,
would you still love me?
Tell me, baby, yes, I would.
I'd put you above me.

If I were a carpenter and you were a lady,
would you marry me anyway?
would you have my baby?
would you marry me anyway?
would you have that baby?

"If You Don't Want My Love"

"If You Don't Want My Love"


As we move along through love's game
Sometime's it gets so strange
Lately I've come to realize
Some thing's you just can't change

I could give you my heart
Give you my soul
Throw in the stars up above
There's just nothing in this world that I can do
If you don't want my love

When we first met it seemed so right
But somehow it turned out all wrong
That beautiful sound that we once had
Is now just a sad sad song

I could show you I want you
prove that I need you
Tell you everything I'm thinking of
But how could I ever win your heart
If you don't want my love

True love like ours
Is so hard to find
This heart keeps praying
Someday you'll change your mind

I could give you my heart
Give you my soul
Throw in the stars up above
There's just nothing in this world that I can do
If you don't want my love

When we first met it seemed so right
But somehow it turned out all wrong
That beautiful sound that we once had
Is now just a sad sad song

I could show you I want you
Prove that I need you
Tell you everything I'm thinking of
But how could I ever win your heart
If you don't want my love

But there's just nothing in this world that I can do
If you don't want my love

"In The Midnight Hour"
(originally by Wilson Pickett)



I'm gonna wait till the midnight hour
That's when my love comes tumbling down
I'm gonna wait till the midnight hour
When there's no one else around
I'm gonna take you girl and hold you
And do all the things I told you
In the midnight hour
Yes I am
Ooh yes I am
One more thing I just want to say right here

I'm gonna wait till the stars come out
And see that twinkle in your eyes
I'm gonna wait till the midnight hour
That when my love begins to shine
You're the only girl I know
That can really love me so
In the midnight hour
Oh yeah ...In the midnight hour
Yeah, alright, play it for me one time

I'm gonna wait till midnight hour
That's when my love comes tumbling down
I'm gonna wait, way in the midnight hour
That's when my love begins to shine
Just you and I… Ooh Baby
Just you and I
Nobody around baby, just, you and I
I'm gonna hold you, In my arms…

"Into The Mystic"
(originally by Van Morrison)

"Into The Mystic"
(originally by Van Morrison)



We were born before the wind
Also younger than the sun
Ere the bonnie boat was won
As we sailed into the mystic

Hark, now hear the sailors cry
Smell the sea and feel the sky
Let your soul and spirit fly
Into the mystic

And when that fog horn blows, I will be coming home
Mmm, and when the fog horn blows, I want to hear it
I don't have to fear it

And I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And magnificently we will flow
Into the mystic

When that fog horn blows,you know I will be coming home
And when that fog horn whistle blows, I got to hear it
I don't have to fear it

And I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And together we will flow
Into the mystic

Come on, girl
Too late to stop now

"It Wouldn't Happen With Me"

"It Wouldn't Happen With Me"


You say you could fall in love with Elvis
You say you like to hear The Beatles sing
Wait a minute, wait a minute pretty baby
I wanna tell ya just one little thing.

Oh, well your love for Elvis Presley wouldn't last very, very long
You'd get sick and tired of watching him wiggling passed your door
It's true that The Beatles they can talk and walk
you'd get sick and tired of hearing them talk that talk.

It wouldn't happen with me
It wouldn't happen with me
It wouldn't happen with me, oh no, not me, oh yeah.

Oh, you now say you can marry Ringo with his hair hanging his face
Oh, but honey that will never happen, he couldn't find that wedding place.

It wouldn't happen with me
It wouldn't happen with me
It wouldn't happen with me, oh no, not me.

Oh yeah, it's true that you may get an autograph, yeah
You might even get one of them to smile your way
But remember when it comes down to marriage
You'll never, never, never, never see that wedding day.

Now, the only thing you will ever be to Ricky is just a fan
You'll never get to squeeze him, honey, ‘cause he's a traveling man.

It wouldn't happen with me
It wouldn't happen with me
It wouldn't happen with me, oh no, not me.

Oh, oh, it's true that you may get an autograph
You might even get one of them to smile your way
But remember, when it comes down the marriage, marriage, marriage, baby
You'll never, never, never, never see that wedding day.

Oh, the only thing you'll ever be to Ricky is just a fan
You'll never get to squeeze him, honey, ‘cause he's a traveling man.

It wouldn't happen with me
It wouldn't happen with me
It wouldn't happen with me, oh no, not me.
Not me, oh, not me, baby ...
Oh not me, baby, it would not happen with me baby
Yeah, yeah it wouldn't happen with me baby
Hey, hey baby, it wouldn't happen with me.

"It'll Never Happen Again"

"It'll Never Happen Again"


I remember
Our first affair
All the pain
Always rain
Around my eyes
It'll never happen again
It'll never happen again

Every time
I leave you alone
I remember times
I couldn't come home
It'll never happen again
It'll never happen again

Why can't you be
The way
I want you to be
Why can't you see
You've got to change
And love me

I remember
Our first affair
All the pain
Always rain
Around my eyes

It'll never happen again
It'll never happen again

"It's All Over Now"

"It's All Over Now"


Well, baby used to stay out all night long
She made me cry, she done me wrong
She hurt my eyes open, that's no lie
Tables turn and now her turn to cry.

Because I used to love her but it's all over now
Because I used to love her but it's all over now.

Well, she used to run around with every man in town
She spent all my money, playing her high class game
She put me out, it was a pity how I cried
Tables turn and now her turn to cry.

Because I used to love her but it's all over now
Because I used to love her but it's all over now.

Well, I used to walk in the morning, get my breakfast in bed
When I'd gotten worried, she'd ease my aching head
But now she's here and there, with every man in town
Still trying to take me for that same old clown.

Because I used to love her but it's all over now
Because I used to love her but it's all over now
Because I used to love her but it's all over now, yeah.

Because I used to love her but it's all over now

"It's All Right"

"It's All Right"


Say it's all right (it's all right)
Say it's all right (it's all right)
It's all right, have a good time
'Cause it's all right, whoa, it's all right

We're gonna move it slow
When lights are low
When you move it slow, it sounds like more
And it's all right, whoa, it's all right

Now listen to the beat
Kinda pat your feet
You got soul, and everybody knows
That it's all right, whoa, it's all right

When you wake up early in the morning
Feelin' sad like so many of us do
Hum a little soul
Make life your goal
And surely something's got to come to you
And say it's all right (it's all right)
Say it's all right (it's all right)

It's all right, have a good time
'Cause it's all right, whoa, it's all right
Now everybody clap your hands
Give yourself a chance
You got soul, and everybody knows
That it's all right, whoa, it's all right

Someday I'll find me a woman
Who will love and treat me real nice
Then my woe's got to go
And my love, she will know
From morning, noon, and night
And she's got to ...

Say it's all right (it's all right)
Say it's all right (it's all right)
It's all right, have a good time
'Cause it's all right, whoa, it's all right

Now everybody clap your hands
Now give yourselves a chance
You got soul...
