"It's The Same Old Song"
(originally by Four Tops)

"It's The Same Old Song"
(originally by Four Tops)



You're sweet as a honey bee, but like a honey bee stings
You've gone and left my heart in pain
All you left is our favorite song
The one we danced to all night long
It used to bring sweet memories
Of a tender love that used to be

Now, it's the same old song
But with a different meaning since you been gone
It's the same old song
But with a different meaning since you been gone

A sentimental fool am I
To hear a old love song and wanna cry
But the melody keeps haunting me
Reminding me how in love we used to be
Keep hearing the part
That used to touch my heart
Saying together forever
Breaking up never

It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone
It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone

Precious memories keep a lingering on
Every time I hear our favorite song
Now you're gone, left this emptiness
I only reminisce the happiness we spent
We used to dance on the music
Make romance through the music

It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone
It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone

It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone
It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone

"It's Too Late"

"It's Too Late"


I remember when I told you
I would try in every way
To hold you, and love you
And kiss you and keep you
Till my dying day

You just laughed
Said you found somebody new
Someone to make me
Forget about you

And now you tell me
That your new love
Isn't true
Like he should be
You say you're gonna forget him
And you're gonna come back to me

But things have changed
I got me somebody new
Someone to make me
Forget about you
I'm telling you

That it's too late
To say you're sorry
It's too late
To say you're mine
I have found myself a new love
And I'm gonna make her mine

It's too late
It's too late

Many days I tried to call you
Many nights I sat alone
Everyone knew that I loved you
But you had a love of your own

And now that he's gone
You think you can come back to me
I'm not the same fool
That I used to be
And you're gonna see

That it's too late
To say you're sorry
It's too late
To say you're mine
I have found myself a new love
And I'm gonna make her mine

It's too late
It's too late
To say you're mine

I remember when I told you
I would try in every way
To hold you, and kiss you
And keep you, baby
Till my dying day

But you just laughed, ha
Said you found somebody new
Someone to make me
Forget about you

And then you tell me
That this new love
Isn't true
Like he should be
You say that you're gonna forget him
And you're gonna come back to me

But things have changed
I got me somebody new
Someone to make me
Forget about you
I'm telling you

That it's too late
To say you're sorry
It's too late
To say you're mine
I have found myself a new love
And I'm gonna make her mine

It's too late
It's too late
To say you're mine [x2]

"Jesus Is A Soul Man"

"Jesus Is A Soul Man"


Jesus is a soul man
Jesus is a soul man
Jesus is a soul man
And I'm sure sold on Him

Oh, they say that He's a square
That Jesus, He ain't nowhere
I know better, He lives in my heart
Jesus is a soul man

You can find Him in the Bible pages
Jesus, He's the rock of ages
Hides me in the cleft of the rock
Jesus is a soul man

Jesus is a soul man
Jesus is a soul man
Jesus is a soul man
And I'm sure sold on Him

He calms the waves when the storm is ragin'
Keeps me safe when the devil's ravin'
He's my staff, He's my sword and my shield
Jesus is a soul man

Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego
The king, he said, In the fire you must go
He found out that the fire wouldn't burn 'em
They were saved by the soul man

Jesus is a soul man
Jesus is a soul man
Jesus is a soul man
And I'm sure sold on Him

Jesus is a soul man
Jesus is a soul man
Jesus is a soul man
And I'm sure sold on Him

"Johnny B. Goode"
(originally by Chuck Berry)

"Johnny B. Goode"
(originally by Chuck Berry)



Deep down Louisiana close to New Orleans
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens
There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood
Where lived a country boy name Johnny B. Goode
Who never ever learned to read or write so well
But he could play the guitar like ringing a bell.

Go go, go Johnny go
Go, go Johnny go
Go, go Johnny go
Go, go Johnny go
Go, oh, Johnny B. Goode.

He use to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
And sit beneath the trees by the railroad track
The engineers used to see him sitting in the shade
Playing to the rhythm that the drivers made
People passing by would stop and say
Oh my, that little country boy could play.

Go go, go Johnny go
Go, go Johnny go
Go, go Johnny go
Go, go Johnny go
Go, oh, Johnny B. Goode.

His mama told him someday he would be a man
And he would be the leader of a big old band
Many people coming from miles around
To hear him play his music when the sun goes down
Maybe someday his name would be in lights
Saying Johnny B. Goode tonight.

Go go, go Johnny go
Go, go Johnny go
Go, go Johnny go
Go, go Johnny go
Go, oh, Johnny B. Goode.

"Knock On Wood"
(originally by Eddie Floyd)



I don't want to lose you,
This good thing that I've got
If I do I will surely, surely lose a lot
'cause your love is better than any love I know
It's like thunder, lightning,
The way you love me is fright'ning
I'd better knock, knock on wood, baby
I'd better knock

I'm not superstitious about ya, I can't take no chance
You got me spinnin' baby, baby I'm in trance
'cause your love is better than any love I know
It's like thunder, lightning,
The way you love me is fright'ning
I'd better knock (knock) on wood, baby

Ain't no secret that woman fills my lovin cup
Well she sees to it that I get enough
Just one touch from her, you know it means so much
He's like thunder, lightning
The way you love me is fright'ning
You better knock (knock) on wood, baby
I'd better knock (knock, knock, knock)
Oh yeah,

"Long Time Man"

"Long Time Man"


Yeah, they came to take me away
Said I'd be sitting here for the rest of my life
But I don't really care, I shot my wife
And brother, I can't even remember the reason why

Oh, it makes a long time man feel bad
Yeah, it makes a long time man feel bad
Well, I ain't had no love since I don't know when
It sure makes a long time man feel bad

We was down in Jacksonville
A cold winter night
My baby and I, we began to fight
I heated up, and I grabbed my gun
I get so cold on those nights down south

She was laying in a pool
Right there on the kitchen floor
She looked up at me and began to smile
Her gasping words: Baby, I love you
Then she closed those baby blue eyes

Sometimes I hear you call my name
In the dead of the night

I ain't had those arms around me
I ain't had those lips, those lips, around me

It sure makes a long time man feel bad
So bad
