"Dancing To The Rythm"

"Dancing To The Rythm"


Lonely, my life used to be lonely
Lonely as the single lonely number one
Lonely like a lonely sun
With not even one iota to shine upon

Crying, deep inside I was crying
Like the muddy Mississippi, my tears flowed
Carrying with it my lonely soul
With not even a clue of who,
where or what I would become

Oh, how I longed to be possessed by one somebody
To hold me, control me, show me what I should
do with my broken life
But oh, was I lifted when I let your light
inside my body
Then I shed my sorrows for joy, love and
you in my, my, my, my li-li-life

I'm dancing to the rythm of your love
Singing sweet melodies of your sweet, sweet love
Forever greateful for your love

Money, oh how did I have money
Enough to last me from the start til the end of time
With some more to leave behind
And yet I was a cent-less pauper in distress
I can, feel the very presence of your love here
Though I've never seen the pleasure of your smile
No, I've never touched your hand
And yet you've given me eternal happiness

Oh, how I longed to be possessed by one somebody
To hold me, control me, show me what I should
do with my broken life
But oh, was I lifted when I let your light
inside my body
Then I shed my sorrows for joy, love and you in my,
my, my, my li-li-life

I'm dancing to the rythm of your love
Singing sweet melodies of your sweet, sweet love
Forever greateful for your sweet, sweet love
[Repeat]
Oh, how I longed to be possessed by one somebody
To hold me, control me, show me what I should do
with my broken life

But oh, was I lifted when I let God's light
inside my body
Then I shed my sorrows for joy, love and you
in my, my, my, my li-li-life

I'm dancing to the rythm of your love
Singing sweet melodies of your sweet, sweet love
Giving all praises of your sweet, sweet love
Forever greateful for your sweet, sweet love

"Dark 'N' Lovely"

"Dark 'N' Lovely"


There is a place
On earth's motherland
Where a people
Die in bantu stands
Manchild at eight
Will face guns of hate
Womanchild's fate
Is life second rate

Just because they're dark 'n' lovely
Just because they're dark 'n' lovely

They do a dance
called Mbaqana jive
Rainbow people
Dancin' to stay alive
After hours
Party hand in hand
After Shebeen
Terror strikes again

Just because they're dark 'n' lovely
Just because they're dark 'n' lovely

Dark 'n' lovely Dark 'n' lovely
Dark 'n' lovely

The whole planet's watchin'
And the Sun God is watchin', too
Hey there Botha
Yes, we are watchin' you
Spirits can do
Jah will stop this reign
Watch our world turn
To help those in pain

Just because they're dark 'n' lovely
Just because they're dark 'n' lovely
Just because they're dark 'n' lovely
Just because they're dark 'n' lovely
Dark 'n' lovely Dark 'n' lovely

"Did I Hear You Say You Love Me"

"Did I Hear You Say You Love Me"


Aaah...
Did I hear you say you love me
Well baby I've got to know
‘Cause if you really really love me
You've got to do things to show
Don't give me the wrong impression
By showing me warm expressions
Put me in the right direction
With tender love and affection
I've been standing on the outside
Trying to get on the inside

Did I hear you say you need me
Well baby tell me the truth
‘Cause if you really really need me
My sweetness here's what I'll do
Cut out all my crazy playing
‘Cause for your love I have been laying
Just tell me that is what you're saying
And I'll be yours without delaying
I've been standing on the outside
Trying to get on the inside

Well if you love me honey let me hear you say
I love you
If you love me honey let me hear you say
I love you
Sounds so good
Well if you love me honey let me hear you say
I love you

Did I hear you say you want me
Now please don't give me no mess
‘Cause if you really really want me
You've got to give me your best
Put my love life right in the pocket
And dare someone to try to top it
And when you think I want to drop it
Just love me ‘til I beg don't stop it
‘Cause I've been standing on the outside
Trying to get on the inside

Well if you love me honey let me hear you say
I love you
Well if you love me honey let me hear you say
I love you
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
If you love me honey let me hear you say
I love you
Baby, if you love me let me hear you say
I love you
If you love me let me hear you say
I love you
And if you need me let me hear you say
I love you
If you want me let me hear you say
I love you
If you need me let me hear you say
I love you
If you want me let me hear you say
I love you
If you need me let me hear you say
I love you
If you want me let me hear you say
I love you
If you need me let me hear you say
I love you

"Do I Do"

"Do I Do"


When I see you on the street
My whole body gets weak
When you're standing in a crowd
Your love talks to me so loud
Girl, do I do, what you do, when I do my love to you

When I hear you on the phone
Your sweet, sexy voice turns my ear all the way on
Just the mention of your name
Seems to drive my head insane
Girl, do I do, what you do, when I do my love to you...baby

Sss..Mmm
Yes I got some candy kisses for your lips
Yes I got some honey suckle chocolate dripping kisses full of love for you
Yes I got some candy kisses for your lips

My life has been waiting for your love
My arms have been waiting for your love to arrive
My heart has been waiting
My soul anticipating your love, love, love

From the time that I awake
I'm imagining the good love that we'll make
If to me your vibe can do all this
Just imagine how it's going to feel when we hug and kiss
Sugar, do I do, what you do, when I do my love to you...all right

Sss..Mmm

My life has been waiting for your love
My arms have been waiting for your love to arrive

My soul anticipating your love, your love, your love

Ladies and gentlemen,

Mr. Dizzy Gillespie...Blow!
Blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow!
Do I do, what you do, when I do my love to you

Yes I got some candy kisses for your lips
Yes I got some honey suckle chocolate dripping kisses full of love for you

My soul anticipating your love, your love, your lo-o-ove

Oh, I don't care how long it might take
'Cause I know the woman for me, you I'll make
And I will not deny myself the chance
Of being part of what feels like the right romance

So if you don’t like the groove you can turn the record off
It won't cost you nothin' but a penny and you'll have a cough'
I know I cannot ryhme 'cause I ain't like a friend of mine
but I hai ha ha ha....

"Do I Love Her?"

"Do I Love Her?"


Do I love her? Do I love her?
With a heart that's true
Do I love her? Do I love her?
Don't you know I do

Mrs. Jones won't you put my darling on the phone
Let me tell her
I shouldn't have left her
Cause I love her just as long as

Bees love honey
Banks love money
Birdies love to fly
Little Jack Horner in the corner loves his Christmas pie

Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones
Let me speak to your daughter
If she gives me one more chance
I'm gonna love her like I oughta

I can't forget (I can't forget)
That lacey dress
That she used to wear for me
We'd sit under the apple tree
And I remember (I remember, I remember)
That night in September
When my baby cried and cried cause I left her side

Do I love her? Do I love her?
With a heart that's true
Do I love her? Do I love her?
I swear I do

I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed
For stringing her along
Like a playboy with a play toy
And she loved me just as strong as

Bees love honey
Banks love money
Birdies love to fly (birdies love to fly)
Little Miss Muffet loves her tuffet
Babies love to cry (babies love to cry)

Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones
Please don't hang up that receiver
If she heard one sweet word
She'd know I would never leave her

Baby, baby, baby
She's the best
Oh the very best
Everything worth living for
Everything that I adore

Do I love her? Do I love her?
With a heart that's true
Do I love her? Do I love her?
I swear I do

"Do Like You"

"Do Like You"


[Keita] Show me how to do like you
[Aisha] If you say please
[Keita] Please

Since age one Keita knew he had the answer
And it was that someday he'd be a dancer
And with help from his sis
Surely that boy would not miss
From being the baddest dancer in the whole neighborhood
Late at night when he was supposed to be sleeping
You could hear the pitter patter of feet creeping
To where music would play
To his sister he would say
Before his father said hey boy get right back in that bed

Show me how to do like you
Show me how to do it
Show me how to do like you
Show me how to do it
- Can you rock can you rock
Show me how to do like you
Can you rock around the clock, can you rock
Show me how to do it
- Can you rock can you rock
Show me how to do like you
Can you rock around the clock, can you rock

Once at school they put on a talent contest
To find out who could really boogy the best
But his mama said no
Keita's much too young to go
But his sister said please let him go so the world can see
When they saw him they said he must be crazy
Look at him he ain't nothing but a baby
But soon as he began
You knew the contest he would win
Because everyone in the audience began to cheer

Show me how to do like you
Show me how to do it
Show me how to do like you
Show me how to do it
- Can you rock can you rock
Show me how to do like you
Can you rock around the clock, can you rock
Show me how to do it
- Can you rock can you rock
Show me how to do like you
Can you rock around the clock, can you rock
Show me how to do it
- Can you rock can you rock
Show me how to do like you
Can you rock around the clock, can you rock
Show me how to do it

[Aisha] Ooh, you done broke Mama's lamp
[Keita] Uh, uh
[Aisha] Yes you did
[Keita] No I didn't

"Do Yourself A Favour"

"Do Yourself A Favour"


Isolated junk yard
Letting out the garbage
Eating through the core of life

Sweet fragrance irritates
In a state room death awaits
Persecute your own self-pride

Suffocate the new high
Ride the thorny mule that cries
"Dig your grave and step right in"

Like a judas pay the price
30 pieces for a ride
Here's the fire take a chew

Do yourself a favour
Educate your mind
Get yourself together
Hey there ain't much time

Do yourself a favour
Educate your mind
Get yourself together
Hey there ain't much time

Shredded know-how give away
Species of the human race
Those funky winds of ups and downs

Hall of grit is known too well
Heaven still is your hell
Poison slowly slowly drowns

Let the devil step right in
Lucifer's your only friend
Ain't a soul go'n pity you

Hurdly over time to death
With open arms it waits I bet
Don't you wish you could reach ground?

Do yourself a favour
Educate your mind
Get yourself together
Hey there ain't much time

Do yourself a favour
Educate your mind
Get yourself together
Hey there ain't much time

"Don't Drive Drunk"

"Don't Drive Drunk"


He and his wife have had problems
That he's played off like nothing's wrong
'Til he comes home from work early
Just to find the girl is gone
Oh but he gets into the cupboard
Picks out that bottle of gin
Drinks like there's no tomorrow
And decides to take a spin

No don't drive drunk
Don't drive drunk, no
Don't drive drunk
Mothers Against Drunk Drivers are mad

Teenager at a live party
Says, "give me one for the road"
But he's already so inebriated
If you lit a smoke he'd explode
But bartender says, "I don't think so"
Young one says, "I can deal"
Staggering out he says, "check you all later"
But I really don't think he will

No don't drive drunk
Don't drive drunk, no
Don't drive drunk
Mothers Against Drunk Drivers are mad
[Repeat]

[Background]
Don't drive drunk
d-d-d don't drive drunk
Don't drive drunk
Hicup

Boy out with girl on their first date
Gets pulled over by the law
Officer says, "hey can't you drive straight
Or have you been drinking alcohol?"
Boy says, "man are you crazy?"
Cop says, "hey then walk this line"
But results from the breathalizer
Proves he's charged with D.U.I.

No don't drive drunk
Don't drive drunk, no
Don't drive drunk
Mothers Against Drunk Drivers are mad
[Repeat]

Don't drive drunk

"Don't Wonder Why"

"Don't Wonder Why"


You never see, the little sparkle, in my eye
I wonder why
Sometimes I wish, you stop and hold me,
But you pass right by
I wonder why

I tried, everything I could,
I even change my walk,
The way that I stood
But you, pass by me, and pretend that you don't even see me
But I want you to know (Uuuummmm)

If one day you decide to smile,
And say hello and I say goodbye (Uuuummmm)
Don't wonder why my baby (no) Don't wonder why my baby

When I think of how you hurt me, it brings the tears, to my eyes
I just can't seem to make you happy, no matter how hard I try
I wonder why

Seems like, no matter what I do, it's never good, enough for you
My pain, it shows loud, but it still can't let go now,
But I want you to know, now

Nights grow old and winds blow cold, so old if my loves grows cold
And I, don't wonder why my baby (woooo) baby don't wonder why
Oh yeah!

(Yeaaahhh) Seems like, no matter what I do, I'm never, never, never, never,
Never good enough for you
My pain it shows loud, oh you know I still just no matter I just can't let go
Now, but I want you to know!!!
Love me baby

Nights grow old and winds blow cold, and so old, if my love grows cold
And I've, don't wonder why baby
No, no, no, no, don't wonder why my baby
Baby don't wonder why, don't wonder why my baby
Don't wonder why ,my baby
No, no, no, no don't wonder why my baby (Ooohhh)
Don't wonder why my baby
Can you hear me, can you hear me
