"What's Happening Brother"

"What's Happening Brother"

Hey baby, what'cha know good
I'm just gettin' back, but you knew I would
War is hell, when will it end,
When will people start gettin' together again
Are things really gettin' better, like the newspaper said
What else is new my friend, besides what I read
Can't find no work, can't find no job my friend
Money is tighter than it's ever been
Say man, I just don't understand
What's going on across this land
Ah what's happening brother,
Oh ya, what's happening my man
Are they still gettin' down where we used to go and dance
Will our ball club win the pennant,
do you think they have a chance
And tell me friend, how in the world have you been.
Tell me what's out and I want to know what's in.
What's the deal man, what's happening
What's happening brother
Ah what's happening brother
What's happening my man
Ah what's happening brother
What's been shaken up and down the line
I want to know cause I'm slightly behind the time.

"What's The Matter With You Baby"
(with Mary Wells)

[Both:] Wo wo wo...

[Him:] What's the matter with you, baby, what's the matter?
What did I do wrong?
[Her:] Do you really wanna know?
[Him:] I wanna know, what's the matter with you, baby?
[Her:] You know that you done me wrong
[Him:] Sorry, didn't mean no harm
Oh baby, let me take you out tonight
Make every little thing all right

[Her:] You know you told me there would never be another
And you know you lied
When you lied, you hurt me, baby
[Him:] When I left and I went away
I didn't know how much I loved you until today
[Her:] Oh baby, leavin' me wasn't right
And now you wanna take me out tonight

[Him:] Mary, won't you let me get on your good side?
[Her:] If I did that, Marvin, it would hurt my pride
[Him:] Hey, let me make it up to you if I can
[Her:] I can't do it, don't you understand?

[Him:] What's the matter with you, baby, what's the matter?
[Her:] I told you that you done me wrong
[Him:] Well, can you forgive me, Mary, please forgive me?
[Her:] I'll try, but it'll take some time
[Him:] Hurry up, hurry up, before I lose my mind
[Her:] I've got a feelin' everything is gonna work all right
But you can't take me out tonight

[Both:] Wo wo wo... [and fade]

"When Did You Stop Loving Me, When Did I Stop Loving You"

"When Did You Stop Loving Me, When Did I Stop Loving You"

You know, when you say your marriage vows, they're supposed to be for real. I mean...
if you think back about what you really said, what it's all about, honor, loving and
obeying until death do us part and all. But it shouldn't be that way, it should...it
should, it shouldn't be lies, because it turns out to be lies. If you don't honor what
you said, you've lied to God. The words should be changed.

Ooo now as I recall, we tried a million times
Again, again and again, and that isn't all
I gave my love to you each time to make amends
Suddenly I start to realize I can't make it
Pretty birds fly away, I had to leave you for my health's sake
What to do? Make you pay? For leaving you, my fine is to pay forever
So if a fresh new love comes in, I won't say those words again
Instead I'll say I tried to love and protect you
With all my heart, long as you want me to baby

Ooo if I love again I'm gonna try a new way this time
Memories of the things we did; some we're proud of, some we hid
So when two people have to part, sometimes it makes them stronger
Do you remember all of the bullshit, baby?
You say you love me with all your heart
If you ever loved me with all of your heart
You'd never take a million dollars to part
I really tried, you know I tried, oh baby
Although we tried, all of those promises was nothin' but lies
When I really tried, you know how hard I tried, how I really tried
We really lied, didn't we baby?
And on top of that you have scandalized my name
But I can't understand, 'cause if you love me
How could you turn me into the police?
Didn't I love you good and try to take care of you best I could?
You were so divine and your love was like mellow wine
Pains of love, miles of tears, enough to last me for my lifetime
Broken hearts last for years to break away to the blue-day sunshine
One thing I can promise, friend: I'll never be back again
But I'm not really bitter babe
I wish you all the luck and all the love in the world, good luck in the world
But I know you'll never be satisfied. No, you still want me standing by your side
Memories haunt you all the time. I will never leave your mind
Got judgement on your side; you've said bad things and you've lied
Still I remember some of the good things baby
Like love after dark and picnics in parks
Those are the days I'll not forget in my life
I'd rather remember, remember the joy we shared baby
I'd rather remember all the fun we had
All I ever really wanted was to love you and treat you right
All we did was fuss and fight
It don't matter baby, take a lesson from them all
I never thought I'd see the day when you'd put me through what you put me through
You try your best, you say I gave you no rest

[Repeat and fade:]
When did you stop loving me? When did I stop loving you?

When did I stop loving you, ah
When did you stop loving me
When did I stop loving you, oh
Baby...
Woo!

"When Love Comes Knocking At My Heart"
(with Tammi Terrell)

"When Love Comes Knocking At My Heart"
(with Tammi Terrell)

[TT:] Ooo here I am alone, thinkin' aimlessly
Seein' other girls in love & wishin' it were me
If I could only find the key & make love come my way
I would trade this loneliness for true love any day

[Both:] When love comes knockin' at my heart
I'm surely gonna let it in
When love comes knockin' at my heart
Happiness will surely begin
[TT:] Oh darlin', [MG:] Oh darlin'
[TT:] Oh darlin', [MG:] Oh darlin'

[MG:] Emptiness is in the air & all around me gloom
As I gaze through the window of my lonely room
I hate to get up in the mornin' 'cause I know what lies ahead
Where there should be a cheerful smile, there's loneliness instead

[Both:] When love comes knockin' at my heart
I'm surely gonna let it in
When love comes knockin' at my heart
Happiness will surely begin

[MG:] Oh if you've never been in love, darlin'
Then you're just like me, now
[TT:] Don't you get lonely? What am I to be?
Oh darlin', [MG:] Oh darlin'
[TT:] Oh darlin', [MG:] Oh darlin'
[TT:] Oh darlin', [MG:] Oh darlin'
[TT:] Oh darlin', [MG:] Oh darlin'

[TT:] My heart's full of envy for the girl who lives next door
She has so many things that I've never had before
[MG:] She possesses one thing I've never had a chance to get
That's someone to call her own & there's one thing you can bet

[Both:] When love comes knockin' at my heart
I'm surely gonna let it in
When love comes knockin' at my heart
Happiness will surely begin
[TT:] Oh darlin', [MG:] Oh darlin'
[TT:] Oh darlin', [MG:] Oh darlin'

[TT:] When love comes, I'm gonna let it in
Because I know I'll be happy then
Loneliness will be no more
When love comes, gonna open that door
When love comes, when love comes
Oh darlin', when love comes

[KW:] Just a simple movie matinee

[MG:] Baby, when we're
[BOTH:] together

"When Your Lover Has Gone"

"When Your Lover Has Gone"

What good is the scheming, the planning and dreaming
That comes with each new love affair
The dreams that we cherish, so often might perish
And leaves you with castles in air

When you're alone, who cares for starlit skies
When you're alone, the magic moonlight dies
At break of dawn, there is no sunrise
When your lover has gone

What lonely hours, the evening shadows bring
What lonely hours, with memories lingering
Like faded flowers, life can't mean anything
When your lover has gone

"Wherever I Lay My Hat (That's My Home)"

"Wherever I Lay My Hat (That's My Home)"

By the look in your eye I can tell you're gonna cry.
Is it over me?
If it is, save your tears
for I'm not worth it, you see.
For I'm the type of boy who is always on the roam,
wherever I lay my hat that's my home,
I'm telling you that's my home.
You had romance, did you break it by chance
over me?
If it's so I'd like for you to know
that I'm not worth it, you see.
For I'm the type of boy who is always on the roam, mm,
wherever I lay my hat that's my home,
mm, that's my home.
Oh, you keep telling me, you keep telling me I'm your man.
What do I have to do to make you understand?
For I'm the type of guy who gives girl the eye,
everybody knows.
But I love them and I leave them,
break their hearts and deceive them everywhere I go.
Don't you know that I'm the type of man who is always on the roam,
wherever I lay my hat that's my home.
wherever I lay my hat, oh oh, that's my home, mm yeh,
that's my home
and I like it that way.

"Why Did I Choose You?"

"Why Did I Choose You?"

Why did I choose you? What did I see in you?
I saw the heart you hide so well...
I saw a quiet man, who had a gentle way,
a way that caught me in its glowing spell.

Why did I want you? What could you offer me?
A love to last a life-time through?
And when I lost my heart so many years ago,
I lost it lovingly and willingly to you.

If I had to choose again, I would still choose you.
