"There Goes My Baby"

"There Goes My Baby"



(Bo-bo, doo-doot-doo-doo-doo-doo)
(There she goes) (doo-doot-doo-doo-doo-doo)
(There she goes) (doo-doot-doo-doo-doo-doo)
(Bo-bo) (doo-doot-doo-doo)
(Bo-bo) (doo-doo-doo-doo)

There goes my baby, movin' on down the line
Wonder where, wonder where, wonder where she is bound?
I broke her heart and made her cry
Now I'm alone, so all alone
What can I do, what can I do?

(There goes my baby) Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
(There goes my baby) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(There goes my baby) Whoa-oh-oh-oh
(There she goes) Yeah! (There she goes)

I wanna know if she loved me
Did she really love me?
Was she just playing me for a fool?

I wonder why she left me
Why did she leave me so all alone
So all alone

I was gonna tell her that I loved her
And that I need her
Beside my side to be my guide

I wanna know where is my (doo-doot-doo-doo-doo-doo)
Where is my baby (doo-doot-doo-doo-doo-doo) ?
I want my baby
I need my baby

Yeah, whoa-oh-oh

(There goes my baby)
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh

"Third World Girl"

"Third World Girl"



Jamaica special love
Special love
Sitting down see the flower
On the window tops
And the mountain
See the rain
And the warm lit sun
On the beaches and sand
Comes a man with a plan to renew the world
Up in rasta land
Hungry boys and girls
He lived up to his part
And he died with a cause in his heart
Jamaica special love
Special love
Listen

Oh, Jamaica Lady
Oh, Jamaica Girl
Oh, Jamaica Lady
Oh, Jamaica Girl

Oh, Jamaica Lady
Oh, Jamaica Girl
Oh, oh, baby

You be my first, my second, my third world girl
Peas and rice
They are awful nice
But not as nice as you

"This Is The Life"

"This Is The Life"



This is the life,
Here's where the living is,
This is the life,
Baby, you're there.
This is the life,
You've waited long enough,
Man, you've arrived,
Breathe in that air.
Modern perfume,
Silver and candlelight,
Children, make way,
Joe's here to stay.
Come join the club,
Hear that sweet music start,
This is the life, sweetheart.

Tell them bye-bye,
Get where the action is,
Come have some fun,
I'll lead the way.
This is the life,
They've kept you in a box,
Break down the walls,
Come out and play.
See all the lights,
They're spelling "Wellington,"
How sweet the song
When you belong.
Top of the heap,
That's how it's got to be,
This is the life, you'll see.

This is the life,
Here's where the living is,
This is the life,
Baby, I'm there.
This is for me,
Free, black and twenty-one,
Now Ive arrived,
Breathe in that air.
This lovely life,
This groovy atmosphere,
Out of my way,
Joe's here to stay.
King of the hill,
That's how it's got to be,
This is the life for me.

"This Magic Moment"

"This Magic Moment"



This magic moment, so different then so new
Was like any other until I kissed you
And then it happened, hell, it took me by surprise
I knew that you felt it too by the look in your eyes

Sweeter than wine
Softer than the summer night
Everything I want, I have
Whenever I hold you tight

This magic moment
While your lips are close to mine
Will last forever, baby
Forever till the end, the end of time

Oh, oh, baby, this magic moment
Oh, baby

Ooh, sweeter than wine
Softer than the summer night
Everything I want, I have
Whenever I hold you tight

This magic moment
While your lips are close to mine
Will last forever, baby
Forever till the end of time

Oh, oh, baby, oh, honey
Oh, I know we'll last, we'll last, we'll last, we'll last forever
Oh, this magic moment, oh, gonna last forever, baby
Oh, I know, I know

"This Poor Heart Of Mine"
(with Tammi Terrell)

"This Poor Heart Of Mine"
(with Tammi Terrell)



[Him:] Ooo heartburn, cold chills
Dizzy spells, I bite my fingernails
I don't think I'm gonna pull through
Everything depends on you
Only your love can save this poor heart of mine
Situation: desperate; honey, save this poor heart of mine

[Her:] Oh dark days, empty nights
Without your arms to hold me tight
I don't know how long I'm gonna last
So come back baby, I'm sinking fast
Only your love can save this poor heart of mine
Situation: desperate; baby, save this poor heart of mine

[Her:] Baby, you left me in a burning condition
[Him:] And my love, to you, has become my affliction
[Both:] Ooo you know my need for you
Is oh so strong it's like fire set up in my bones
Only your love can save this poor heart of mine
Situation: desperate; baby, save this poor heart of mine

[Her:] Oh I don't think I'm gonna pull through
[Him:] Everything depends on you

[Repeat and fade:]
[Both:] Only your love can save this poor heart of mine
Situation: desperate; honey, save this poor heart of mine

"Til There Was You"
(with Kim Weston)

"Til There Was You"
(with Kim Weston)



There were bells on a hill
But I never heard them ringing
No, I never heard them at all
'Til there was you

There were birds in the sky
But I never saw them winging
No, I never saw them at all
'Til there was you

Then there was music and wonderful roses
They tell me in sweet fragrant meadows
Of dawn and dew

There was love all around
But I never heard it singing
No, I never heard it at all
'Til there was you

Then there was music and wonderful roses
They tell me in sweet fragrant meadows
Of dawn and dew

There was love all around
But I never heard it singing
No, I never heard it at all
'Til there was you
'Til there was you

"Time To Get It Together"

"Time To Get It Together"



Time...Time...
Jesus said time would heal ALL WOUNDS
Time...Time...Time...Time
But we have to live right to get the time
Time...Time...Time...Time
Time...Time...Time...Time
Please, Time, you got to be a friend of mine

Sometimes I am unable to move
I let temptation get me off of my groove
Sometimes I get it
Sometimes it's hard
To stay with it
But right now, get it, gotta get it, get it
Got to stay with it
Makin' up my mind, yeah
Gonna get it together
Gonna love every day every night till I get it
All right
Pretty good lovin', oh
Get it together
Gonna love every day every night till I get it
All right -- good lovin', oh
Gonna get it together
Gonna love every day every night till I get it
All right -- good love
Gonna get it together
Gonna love every day every night till I get it
All right, baby
Gonna get it together
Gonna love every day every night till I get it
All right

(Tick tock tick tock tick tock tick tock --
My life's a clock and it's winding down)

I've been racing against time
Trying my best to find my way
Change our world in just one day
Blowin' coke all up my nose
Gettin' in and out my clothes
Foolin' 'round with midnight ho's
But that chapter of life's closed

From the day you're born
Till the day you're in the ground

I've been racing against time
Trying my best to find my way
Change our world in just one day
Blowin' coke all up my nose
Gettin' in and out my clothes
Foolin' 'round with midnight ho's
But that chapter of life's closed

From the day you're born
Till the day you're in the ground

"Together"
(with Mary Wells)



(Together, together)
[MG:] We'd stroll the lane together
[MW:] Laugh at the rain, oh you know, together
[BOTH:] Sang love's refrain together
& we'd both pretend it would never end

[MW:] When we cried, you know we cried together

But in my memory
We'll always be together

(Together, together)
[BOTH:] & we'd both pretend it would never end

We're gonna be together

"Too Busy Thinking About My Baby"

"Too Busy Thinking About My Baby"


Ah-ah-aaah, oh yeah... Oh listen to me people

I ain't got time to think about money
Or what it can buy
And I ain't got time to sit down and wonder
What makes a birdie fly

And I don't have the time to think about
What makes a flower grow
And I've never given a second thought
To where the rivers flow

[Chorus:]
Too busy thinking about my baby
And I ain't got time for nothing else

Said, I ain't got time to discuss the weather
How long it's gonna last
And I ain't got time to do no studies
Once I get out of class
Tellin ya I'm just a fellow
Said I got a one track mind
And when it comes to thinking about anything but my baby
I just don't have any time

[Chorus]

The diamonds and pearls in the world
Could never match her worth, no no
She's some kind of wonderful, people tell ya
I got heaven right here on earth
I'm just a fellow
With a one, one track mind
And when it comes to thinkin' about anything but my baby
I just don't have any time

[Chorus]

(yeah, she's never hard to find
'cause she's always on my mind)
