"Try It Baby"

"Try It Baby"

Now you're moving on up, pretty baby
You're leaving me behind
Everybody seems to love you
Oh, you're doing just fine, fine, fine

But take away your good looks
And all your fancy clothes
Why don't you just
Try it baby
Try it baby
Try it baby
Try it baby

You'll see
Nobody loves you but me

Now you tell me that you so busy, pretty baby
You ain't got much time
Oh, how will I remember
When all your time was mine, mine, mine

Well move on back cross the track, baby
Where you came from
Why don't you just
Try it baby
Try it baby
Try it baby
Try it baby

You'll see
That nobody loves you but me
Nobody loves you but me

I really want to hold you, pretty baby
In my arms again
But I can't get close to you
For all your loving friend, friend, friend
But take your name from the bright lights baby
And tell me that you are all through
Come on and
Try it honey
Try it baby
Try it sweetheart
Try it honey
You'll see, nobody loves you but me

"Turn On Some Music"

"Turn On Some Music"

Dreams of you my darling still
Are so fine, so fine, baby
Since I woke up
So is my state of mind
Since we've been apart
Oh I miss you, miss you with all my heart
Oh baby, what else can I say
Put on three albums
And let's fly baby
I've got to know
How much I love you so
I'm gonna make you feel
That my love is stronger for you tonight
Baby, I'm gonna make it right
Put three albums on baby
We're gonna make it long, long, long
Now when the music starts
I'm gonna groove you slow and quiet
And when the first side's through
I'll still be into you
I'm getting sober
Let's get high and turn the record over
'Cos baby it's time for phase two, yeah
That's how it is, yeah
That's how it goes, hey
Just why it is, yeah
Nobody knows
'Cos music's been my therapy
Taking the pain from all my anatomy
Oh and my anatomy
It's my symphony, always stay with me
You know that the world ain't right
Baby, lots of people stay uptight
I'll go crazy
If something ever happened to my musical thrill
And darling your love is just like my music
The second jam, girl is falling down
We've been one hour, still I got the power
Turn up the sounds
Sounds drown out the screams
Come rock with me
Straight into Side B
The time has passed
An hour and a half
I love you baby
I'm strong enough to last
You, you and your music
Are more precious than gold baby
Two albums later baby
And I'm feeling great
You said wait, let's take a break
Before you play the last side
Are you fit enough to ride
I said yes, baby
Just let me catch my breath, honey, honey, honey
Oh baby, I'm not through yet
This is one night honey, that you won't forget
I love you darling, I'm gonna prove it tonight
Put on some music
[Ad lib]

"Two Can Have A Party"
(with Tammi Terrell)

"Two Can Have A Party"
(with Tammi Terrell)

Who needs the noise of a party crowd
Who needs the records turned up loud
When two, we two can have a party all alone?
Oh yeah

Ooo pretty music, a cozy chair
Lights down low and I'm holding you near
Oh baby, we two can have a party all alone
Oh yeah

[Twice]
When we are together, I'm like a feather
Floating in the air
I don't care where we're going
Just as long as you are there
Oh baby
Me and you, you and me
We can have a party, just wait and see
Oh well, two, we two can have a party all alone
Yes we can

Baby, two, we two can have a party all alone
Nobody else, you and me, hah, all alone
Pretty, pretty music, a cozy chair, yeah

"Until I Met You (Corner Pocket)"
(with Mary Wells)

"Until I Met You (Corner Pocket)"
(with Mary Wells)

[MW:] I used to be so fancy free
But really lonesome as could be
Till one lucky day you came my way, Marvin
I never knew what love was all about
Until I met you

[MG:] I used to think there'd never be
A girl who'd ever care for me
But what do you know? You made it so
I never knew what love was all about
Until I met you

[MW:] When you kissed me I felt the seasons change
From winter to spring
[MG:] Ooo when you kissed me, I lost my reason
'Cause I heard the birds sing; I felt like a king
[MW:] Now I have to rub my eyes
Each time I try to realize
That your love is mine, ain't it just fine?
I never knew what love was all about
Until I met you

[MG:] I used to be fancy free
Really lonesome as can be
Till one lucky day you came my way
I never knew what love was all about
Until I met you, baby yeah

[MW:] I used to think there'd never be
A boy who'd ever care for me
But what do you know? You made it so
I never knew what love was all about, baby
Until I met you

[MG:] When you kissed me I felt the seasons change
From winter to spring, yeah
[MW:] When you kissed me, I lost my reason
'Cause I heard the birds sing; I felt like a queen
[MG:] Now I've got to rub my eyes
Each time I try to realize
That your love is mine, ain't it just fine?
I never knew what love was all about
Until I met you, yeah

"Walk On The Wild Side"
(originally by Brook Benton)

"Walk On The Wild Side"
(originally by Brook Benton)

Sinner, hear what I'm sayin'
Sinner, you've been swingin', not prayin'
One day of prayin' and six nights of fun
The odds against goin' to heaven, six-to-one

You walk on the wild side, the Devil is waitin'
He's waitin' to take your hand
You walk on the wild side, you're walkin' with Satan
Away from the Promised Land
One day of prayin' and six nights of fun
The odds against going to heaven, six-to-one

You better cross over, you better walk humble or you're gonna stumble
And Satan is waitin' to take your hand
You walk on the wild side, you walk on the wild side
Away from the Promised Land
One day of prayin' and six nights of fun
The odds against going to heaven, six-to-one

The odds against going to heaven six-to-one

"Walkin' In The Rain"

"Walkin' In The Rain"

Ooh, walkin' in the rain
Is insane
Can't explain
How i feel when I'm walkin' in the rain with you

It rains in my hair
But I don't seem to care
Just as long
As you're walkin' with me, too

It rains as we walk
We get sunny weather
We stop and we talk
Then we get wet together

Rain from the sky
Would be rain from my eyes
How I'd cry, oh my darling
Should you ever go

Oh, now rain from the sky
Would be rain from my eyes
How I'd cry, oh my darling
Should you, should you ever go

"What Good Am I Without You"
(with Kim Weston)

"What Good Am I Without You"
(with Kim Weston)

[Both:]
Wo oh wo oh, wo oh wo oh

[Her:]
What good would a rose be if the raindrops didn't fall?
What good is a telephone if there's no one to call?
What good is a wedding if no one says "I do"?
Tell me, baby what good am I without you?

[Both:]
Wo oh wo oh, wo oh wo oh

[Him:]
What good is a flier if he don't have a plane?
What good is a doctor if he can't cure the pain?
Tell me, what good is a sweetheart who proves to be untrue?
What good, baby, am I without you?

[Him:] I'm no good without you, and there's one thing I know
[Her:] I just got to have you, darling, 'cause I love you so
[Him:] What good is living without the one you love?
[Her:] And what good is the heavens without the stars above?
[Him:] What good is a true heart that proves to be broken in two?
[Both:] [Repeat and fade:] What good, baby, am I without you?

"What Kind Of Fool Am I?"
(originally by Anthony Newley)

"What Kind Of Fool Am I?"
(originally by Anthony Newley)

What kind of fool am I, who never fell in love?
It seems that I'm the only one that I have been thinkin' of!
What kind of man is this, an empty shell?
A lonely cell in which an empty heart must dwell!

What kind of lips are these, that lied with every kiss?
That whispered empty words of love that left me alone like this?
Why can't I fall in love like any other man?
And maybe then I'll know what kind of fool I am!

Why can't I fall in love like any other man?
And maybe then I'll kno' what kind of fool I am!

"What You Gave Me"
(with Tammi Terrell)

"What You Gave Me"
(with Tammi Terrell)

[MG:] Like a breath of spring you came
& as you leave, I can only sigh your name
Cries of anguish echo from way down
But will never reach my lips to make a sound
Though it seems my world is crumblin'
Honey, you don't owe me anything 'cause
[BOTH:] What you gave me is more than enough to last
& what you gave me is more than enough to last

[TT:] You've given me so much warmth
I don't see how I could ever grow cold
In my room there's a picture of you & I
That nobody has a price to buy
I don't know what made you change your mind
But you'll be back, it's just a matter of time
[BOTH:] What you gave me is more than enough to last
What you gave me is more than enough to last

[BOTH:] Into my life you came like a breath of spring
Given me a song to sing
[MG:] Oh yeah,
[TT:] Oh yeah
[MG:] & though I know you're leavin'
I won't be grievin' 'cause I know
[TT:] Time has a way of showin' us
the things we really need
& no matter where you go
I know you'll find your way back home
[MG:] Oh baby, though I know it's not reality
You'll always be a part of me
[BOTH:] 'Cause what you gave me is more than enough to last
& what you gave me is more than enough to last

[TT:] I'm gonna live once again
[MG:] What you gave me,
[BOTH:] is more than enough to last
[MG:] I love you, I love you
[BOTH:] Hey now, & what you gave me is more than enough to last
& what you gave me is more than enough to last

"What's Going On"

"What's Going On"

Mother, mother
There's too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother
There's far too many of you dying
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today - Ya

Father, father
We don't need to escalate
You see, war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today

Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me, so you can see
Oh, what's going on
What's going on
Ya, what's going on
Ah, what's going on

In the mean time
Right on, baby
Right on
Right on

Mother, mother, everybody thinks we're wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us
Simply because our hair is long
Oh, you know we've got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today
Oh

Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me
So you can see
What's going on
Ya, what's going on
Tell me what's going on
I'll tell you what's going on - Uh
Right on baby
Right on baby
