"If I Should Die Tonight"

"If I Should Die Tonight"



Oh, If I should die tonight
Oh baby, though it be far before my time
I won't die blue, sugar yeah
'Cause I've known you

Oooh, oh, how many eyes
Have seen their dream
Oh, how many arms
Have felt their dream
How many hearts, baby...
Have felt their world stand still

Millions never, they never never
And millions never will baby
They never will

If I should die tonight love
Darlin', though it be far before my time
I won't die blue
'Cause I've known you

Oooh, oh, I'm thankful that you're lovin' me
My one desire
Is to love you 'til
I'm no longer here and never tired
Love has been so good to me
I'm so thankful

Oooh, oh, how many eyes
Have seen their dream
How many arms
Have felt their dream
How many hearts, oh darlin'
Have felt their world stand still
Oh Lord!

Millions never, no, never
And millions never will, sugar
They never will

If I should die tonight, ahhh baby
I just want you to keep this thought in mind
That I would never die blue...
'Cause I've known you
Oooh!!

"If My Heart Could Sing"

"If My Heart Could Sing"



I could write a million letters
Quote from every poem I've ever read
Sing each song that I've ever heard to you

But there's one thing I'd do better
If I had a voice instead
And the part of me that holds my love for you

If my heart could sing
I'd sing a song that all the world could feel
One that each word a thought would bring
If my heart could sing, sing

I'd sing of love to tell my story
Of how love brought me you
And like a bell I'd toll and ring
If my heart could sing

There are things I'd like to tell you
Things I'd felt along the way
But my lips can't speak the magic words
That my heart alone can say

Oh, I'd prove to you I'll always love you
Girl, I will, till the end of time
I'll make you today eternal spring
If my heart could sing

There are things that I'd like to tell you
Like how I'll never, ever forget you
If my heart, my heart could only sing, sing, sing

"If This World Were Mine"
(with Tammi Terrell)

"If This World Were Mine"
(with Tammi Terrell)



[M:]
If this world were mine, I'd place at your feet
All that I own; you've been so good to me
If this world were mine
I'd give you the flowers, the birds and the bees
For with your love inside me, that would be all I need
If this world were mine
I'd give you anything

[T:]
If this world were mine, I'd make you a king
With wealth untold, you could have anything
If this world were mine
I'd give you each day so sunny and blue
If you wanted the moonlight, I'd give you that too
If this world were mine
I'd give you anything

[M:] Oh baby, you're my consolation
And there's no hesitation
When you want me, honey, just call me
[T:] And honey, you're my inspiration
And there's so much sensation
When I'm in your arms, when you squeeze me

[M:] And the sky would be blue
As long as you're lovin' me
[T:] With you here in my arms
Life is so wonderful

[Both:]
Give me pretty lovin', baby
Give me pretty lovin', honey
Keep on lovin' me
You know I need you, baby
Really, really need you, baby
[...and fade]

(Funk, funk, funk for love)
(Come let's all get funky if you take the right
Please let's all get funky if you take the wrong
Come let's all get funky if you take the right
Please let's all get funky if you take the wrong...)

It's the love funky music and the feeling can't control
Oh no, funky music and the rhythms in my soul
Hey, sweet love funky music and the beats in my head
I love funky music and my lady understands

She can be funky, he can be funky, I can be funky too
With your love
You can be funky, we can be funky, I can be funky too
With some of your love
Home is where you live and play and laugh and be happy
Making love every day
We already know how to blues it

Sweat down my spine, feeling fine
Ain't it the love funk, baby?
Take every chance to make romance
Ain't it the love funk, baby?
What do I have now that is my greatest gift?
And it came to me one day, this is what it is

It's love that I'm looking for, baby, oh darlin’
Said it's love, baby, that I want to be about, oh baby
Hey hey love, baby, that I want to be, ooooh
Said it's love, what I want and really need, baby - yeah!
I need your attention, baby, yeah yeah, looking for more love
Honey, do you, do you want me, baby, hey, to give you my love?
Ohh, baby

Sometimes I don't need to cry
But there are the pitfalls of life
Here come the tears in my eyes
We accept the pleasure, we, we accept the pain
Oooh, heart, my heart
Oh baby, my heart
Oooh baby, my heart
Oooh, oooh baby, my heart
Come on baby, give up some love

Shake your motion to the East
Shake your motion to the West
Give your heart and your body to the one you love the best
Shake your motion to the East
Shake your motion to the West
Give your heart and your body to the one you love the best

Please let's all get funky if you take the evil
Please let's all get funky if you take the good
Please let's all get funky if you take the evil
Come let's all get funky if you take the good

It's alright baby, to get funky
Oh baby, it's alright to get funky with love's creation, baby
Get funky, baby, funky with love
Now, uh, folks have said the world is coming to an end, baby
I wonder... in our lifetime?
Oh well, let's make love

Dah, dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah, dah, dah, dah, dah

Hang ups, let downs
Bad breaks, set backs

Trigger happy policing

Mother, mother
Everybody thinks we're wrong
Who are they to judge us
Simply cause we wear our hair long

"Is That Enough"

"Is That Enough"



Whoa, I was a fool from the start
Fooling around with my mind instead of my heart
I was young and fine and you plucked me clean
Oh but you didn't know that, I didn't know that
You didn't know what I mean

You know you had a brother who thought he was cool
But really, I was a dumb little fool
You said you'd never, never go away
and stay beside me night and day
You said you would love and obey
Well you should, well you should
It can only get you good

I was a dumb little fool
I was a dumb little fool
but I'll never get enough get enough
Enough of that funky stuff
I'm gonna jump back in
Up to my neck again

You always knew that I
wasn't that kind of guy
All the times I thought you knew
well I was busy loving you
What was you afraid to lose
Everybody's got to choose

I don't know if I'm gonna get a yeah or neh
or if I'm gonna do what his honor says

(Too possessive, jealous
She was too possessive, jealous
Too possessive, jealous
She was too possessive, jealous)

But if I decide, baby, what you want
I wanna know
if you would be satisfied
Baby, satisfied
Baby, satisfied
Would you be satisfied
Satisfied

Is that enough, baby
Is that enough
Last you a lifetime
Is that enough
Is that enough
Keep you happy
Is that enough
You know I do it
and I know that you just love
that expensive stuff

You got a flair for style
and the style is all the while
What could I do
The judge said she got to keep on living
the way she accustomed to
She trying to break a man
I don't understand
Somebody tell me please, tell me please
Why do I have to pay attorney fees (My baby's)
Attorney fees (Ooh baby)
This is a joke
I need a smoke
Wait a minute

"It Hurt Me Too"

"It Hurt Me Too"



I could have left and said I told you so
(Told you so)
I could have told the whole wide world and leave you sad and blue
(Sad and blue)

Said I could have left and said it's good for you, yeah now
But I know when it hurt you
Don't you know it hurt me too
(Hurt me too)

I could have said that you had it coming to you
(Coming to you)
When you walked out and turned your back on me
(Back on me)

I played it, baby, all along, please, please baby, don't go
'Cause I knew he would hurt you
Don't you know it hurt me too
(Hurt me too)

He said he had you dancing on a string
As far as love goes, you were just another fling
Oh, I may be a fool to love you the way I do
(Way I do)

Don't you realize even fools have feeling too
So baby, come on back
And let me dry the tears from your eyes

'Cause I would never hurt you
(I will never hurt you)
No, no I'd never hurt you
(I will never hurt you)
'Cause baby when he hurt you
Don't you know it hurt me too
(Hurt me too)

It hurts me so bad
(Hurt me too)
I'd never desert you
(Hurt me too)

(with Kim Weston)

"It Takes Two"
(with Kim Weston)



[Her:] One can have a dream, baby
[Him:] Two can make that dream so real
[Her:] One can talk about bein' in love
[Him:] Two can say how it really feels
[Her:] One can wish upon a star
[Him:] Two can make that wish come true, yeah
[Her:] One can stand alone in the dark
[Him:] Two can make the light shine through

[Chorus (Both):]
It takes two, baby
It takes two, baby
Me and you, just takes two
It takes two, baby
It takes two, baby
To make a dream come true, just takes two

[Her:] One can have a broken heart, livin' in misery
[Him:] Two can really ease the pain like a perfect remedy
[Her:] One can be alone in a car, on a night like these all alone
[Him:] Two can make just any place seem just like bein' at home

[Chorus]
[Instrumental]

Just takes two, just takes two

[Her:] One can go out to a movie, lookin' for a special treat
[Him:] Two can make that single movie somethin' really kinda sweet
[Her:] One can take a walk in the moonlight, thinkin' that it's really nice
[Him:] But two walkin' hand-in-hand is like addin' just a pinch of spice

[Repeat chorus and fade]

"It's Got To Be A Miracle (This Thing Called Love)"

[KW:] All it takes is 2 hearts that care
[MG:] Sprinkle just a little tenderness there
[KW:] And like the tiny grains of sand that build a mountain so high

[BOTH:] It's got to be a miracle, this thing called love
Never never never let go, this thing called love
[KW:] I used to wander, I used to roam

[MG:] 'Cause you were the dawn of a bright sunny day

[KW:] All it takes is just a little time
[MG:] 3 little words, baby, that mean "Will you will be mine?"
[KW:] Add a few tears 2 lovers will shed
[MG:] & every sweet word that's ever been said

[BOTH:] It's got to be a miracle, this thing called love
Never never never let go, this thing called love

Never never never let go, this thing called love

"It's Madness"

"It's Madness"



World, I'm not the same.
I can't remember my name half the time.
I took a walk - I thought I'd get some air -
but was really not aware of what I said or what I did.
I never see the dark of night or the light of day.
I took a walk into the park and never saw the children play.
Everything I see is a crazy kind of mystery to me.
I'm flirting with the mother of insanity.
Oh, babe, where is my mind?
Since you left me it's been hard to find.
Oh where, where is my mind?
It started to rain, and I felt insane,
but one thing's for sure:
It's going to rain forever more
until you come back to me.
Please, babe...

World, I'm not the same.
I go somewhere and can't remember how I came.
I'm completely turned around, lost in space.
It's your face I see constantly.
I never know from right or wrong, or anything.
I'm like a desperate man,
just see me try to cling
to the only other parts you've left to me.
I'm flirting, I'm flirting with uncertainty.
Oh, bring back my mind.
Since you left me, honey,
I can't find it.
Oooh, honey, bring back my mind.
I'm starting to say
more and more every day.
Please release my soul.
Give me back control of my mind.
Only you can save me.
