"I Hold No Grudge"

"I Hold No Grudge"


I hold no grudge
There's no resentment und'neath
I'll extend the laurel wreath and we'll be friends
But right there is where it ends

I hold no grudge
And I'll forgive you your mistake
But forgive me if I take it all to heart
And make sure that it doesn't start again

Yes I'm the kind of people
You can step on for a little while
But when I call it quits
Baby that's it
I'm the kind of people
You can hurt once in a while
But crawling just ain't my style

I hold no grudge
Deep inside me there's no regrets
But a gal who's been forgotten may forgive
But never once forget

"I Like The Sunrise"

"I Like The Sunrise"


I like the sunrise cos it brings a new day
I like the new day it brings new hope they say
I like the sunrise blazing in the new sky
Nighttime's so weary and oh so am I

Every evening I wish upon a star
That my brand new tomorrow isn't very far
When that heavy blue curtain on night
Is high in the sky way out of sight

I like the sunrise so heavenly to see
I like the sunrise and I hope it likes poor me

"I Love My Baby"

"I Love My Baby"


I love my baby
I've loved him so long
I love my baby
I've loved him since he was born

Now, sweet baby is gone
And done me oh so wrong

Come on back baby
Now understand
Come on back baby

Come back and hold me
And take me by my hand

Come back baby and take me by the hand
Don't you know I love you baby
Don't you understand

Just say you love me
And we'll go to the preacherman
Just say you love me
And before him we'll stand

We'll live our lives together
As we go hand in hand

You say you love me
We'll go to the preacherman

And we'll live our lives together
As we go hand in hand

"I Love To Love"

"I Love To Love"


I love to love
What plenty of love each night
Say I love to love it's so good it can't be right

I don't want a man with Harvard of Yale degrees
Because I don't intend to play information please
Just squeeze me or baby you gonna freeze me
You've got to Romeo me make feel like I'm Salomè

Don't want a man to sit there and talk too much
I just need a guy with a Frank Sinatra touch
Cos I'm tired of all the times I felt
Like a piece of butter about to melt
I wanna press your lips against mine
I wanna feel lightning tickle my spine
I want what there can never to be too much of
Yes I love to love

Just squeeze me or baby you gonna freeze me
When the iron is hot strike it
Hold me I like it I like it

Don't want a man to sit there and talk too much
I just need me a guy with a Frank Sinatra touch
Just build me an earthquake as fast as you can
I got me a hobby and my hobby is men
He's what I intend to build my collection of
Because I love to love

"I Loves You, Porgy"


I loves you, Porgy,
Don't let him take me

And drive me mad
If you can keep me

"I Shall Be Released"

"I Shall Be Released"


They say everything can be replaced
They say every distance is not near
So I remember every face
Of every man who put me here

I see my light come shining
From the west down to the east
Any day now any day now
I shall be released

They say every man needs protection
They say every man must fall
So I swear I see my reflection
Somewhere inside these walls

I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east
Any day now any day now
I shall be released

Yonder stands a man in this lonely crowd
Man who swears he's not to blame
All day long I hear him hollering so loud
Just crying out that he's not to blame

I see my light come shining
From the west down to the east
Any day now any day now
I shall be released

"I Sing Just To Know I'm Alive"

"I Sing Just To Know I'm Alive"


I sing just to know that I'm alive
I play just to feel that I'll survive
And if there's a second place
Where ?? just the case
I sing just to know that I'm alive

Sugoose, Yeah Sugoose, Sugoose, Yeah Sugoose, Sugoose, Yeah Sugoose

Well the mountains they won't move no they don't
And the people they won't dance and they won't
I sing, I sing, I sing, I sing,
I sing just to know that I'm alive.

"I Think It's Going To Rain Today"

"I Think It's Going To Rain Today"


Broken windows and empty hallways
A pale dead moon in the sky streaked with gray
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it's going to rain today

Scarecrows dressed in the latest styles
With frozen faces to keep love away
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it's going to rain today

Lonely, lonely
Tin can at my feet, I think I'll kick it down the street
Tin can at my feet, I think I'll kick it down the street, why not?
That is the way to treat a friend

Bright before me, the signs implore me
Help the needy and show them the way
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it's going to rain today

I hope it's going to rain today, yeah
I hope it's going to rain today, yeah
I think it's going to rain today, yeah
