"Footsteps In The Dark"

"Footsteps In The Dark"


Are we really sure
Can a love that lasted for so long still endure?
Do I, really care? Hey, hey
Let's talk about the distractions goin' on elsewhere

I keep hearin' footsteps baby
In the dark, in the dark
Why? I keep hearin' footsteps baby
In the dark, in the dark

My mind drifts now and then
Lookin' down dark corridors and wonders what might have been
Something's up ahead,
Hey, should I keep this same direction or go back instead?

I, I keep hearin' footsteps baby
In the dark, in the dark
Why? I keep hearin' footsteps baby
In the dark, in the dark

Honey, now lets stop walkin' around
When there's love lost to be found
And you know I still care, I still care
What's the sense in goin' elsewhere?

Who feels really sure?
Can that feelin' guarantee your happiness shall endure?
And do we, really care? Hey, hey
Let's look at what's been happenin' and try to be more aware

I, I keep hearin' footsteps baby
In the dark, in the dark
Why? I keep hearin' footsteps baby
In the dark, in the dark

Yeah, lets stop walkin' around
Well when there's love lost, lost to be found
Honey, you know I still care, I still care
What's the sense in goin', goin' elsewhere?

Honey, lets stop walkin' around and around and around
When there's no love to be found
Baby, you know, I still care, I still care
What's the sense of goin', goin' elsewhere?

"For The Love Of You"

"For The Love Of You"


Yeah, well, well, well
Yeah, yeah, hey, hey

Driftin' on a memory
Ain't no place I'd rather be
Then with you, yeah
Lovin' you, well, well, well

Day will make a way for night
All we'll need is candle lights
And a song, yeah
Soft and long, well

Glad to be here alone
With a lover unlike no other
Sad to see a new horizon
Slowly comin' into view, yeah

I wanna be living for the love of you
Ah, yes I am
All that I'm giving is for the love of you
Alright now

Lovely as a ray of sun
That touches me when the mornin' comes
Feels good to me, yeah
My love and me, well

Smoother than a gentle breeze
Flowin' through my mind with ease
Soft as can be, well
When you're lovin' me
When you're lovin' me

Love to be right in the waves
Of your love enchanted with a touch
And it seems to me
We could sail together
In and out of mystery

Well, I wanna be living, for the love of you
Alright now
All that I'm giving, is for the love of you
You got me, girl

I wanna be living, for the love of you
Alright now
All that I'm giving, givin' is for the love of you
Oh, yes I am

Paradise I have within
Can't feel insecure again
You're the key
Well, and this I see
Oh, I see

Now and then I lose my way
Using words that try to say
What I feel, yeah, love is real
Oh, love is real

I might as well sign my name
On a card which could say it better
Time will tell 'cause it seems
That I done just about all that I can do

I know that I'm livin', for the love of you
Oh, yes I am
I know that I'm livin', for the love, love of you
Every, everyday I, livin', for the love of you

I'm living, for the love
Each and every day, oh yes I do
I'm gonna say it one more time

Said, "I'm living, for the love
Each and every day, oh"
Lord, Lord knows I am right, right now
Said that, "I'm livin' for the love"

Said that I'm livin'
For the love, love of you
Ooh, ooh

"Gettin' Over"

"Gettin' Over"


Movin' up and down the street
You can catch up with the low down
It's gettin' hot, take the heat
But somehow we're gettin' over now
Gettin' over, yeah, baby
Everybody's tryin'
You'll get over, yeah
Everybody's gettin' over
On the mark, are you ready?
'Cause I am, baby, to get over
Gettin' over
Go for it all, you've got nothin' to lose
Just try to break through
Pull out the stop reach for the top
And I'll bet you, you'll get over too
Gettin' over
Everybody's tryin'
You'll get over
Everybody's gettin' over
On the mark, are you ready?
'Cause I am, baby, to get over
Gettin' over
Go for it all, you've got nothin' to lose
Just try to break on through
Pull out the stop and reach for the top
And I'll bet you, you'll get over too
On the mark, are you ready?
'Cause I am, baby, to get over
Getting' over
Gettin' over, well, I have no doubt
That's what believin' is all about
Gettin' over, reachin' for the top
Dreamin', pullin' out all the stop
Gettin' over, gettin' over
Gettin' over, well, I have no doubt
That's what happenin' in the streets
Gettin' over, reachin' for the top
Though it's hard to take the lead
Gettin' over, gettin' over
Gettin' over

"Give The Women What They Want"

"Give The Women What They Want"


Girls will be girls, boys will be boys
One day they're lovers
And you know the next day
They're fighting one another
They'll work it out between them two
They'll kiss and make up
Oh, you know lovers always do now
They're in a problem they can't solve now
Oh, don't you get yourself involved, baby
They may argue with each other now
Oh, but (Incomprehensible)
You know they'll work it out now
Between them two
They'll kiss and make up
I know 'cos lovers all always do
Girls will be girls, boys will be boys
One day they're lovers
And you know the next day
They're fighting one another
They'll work it out between them two
They'll kiss and make up
Lovers always do
Girls will be girls, boys will be boys
One day they're lovers

"Got To Have You Back"

"Got To Have You Back"


Got to have you back I need you
A jealous lie hurt my foolish pride
Made me break your heart
Now our love has died
I see a closing door - a door never more
A door of jealousy between your love and me
Now I face a storm of tears
You took the sunshine from my face
Now I'm just another man
Who walks the undestined way
Without your guiding hand
I can hardly tell when I'm the man
Pride made a fool of me
Now I'm drowning in misery - misery is drowning me

And I've got to have you back I need you
Between the night and day oh heaven speed you
Cos I need you girl
I've been told - it's a loneliness
Oh dark is the emptiness
Since you've been gone in me
Oh gone is the lover I need
Pride destroyed the love we knew
But not my need for you
Without your love around
My whole world is falling down - falling down - all around
And I've got to have you back

Got to have you back
Got to have you back
Got to have you back
Got to have you back

I see a closing door...

Got to have you back - I'm drowning in misery
Got to have you back - my pride made a fool of me
Got to have you back - my whole world is falling down
Got to have you back - without your sweet love around

Got to have you back

"Groove With You"

"Groove With You"


Oh, I've been thinking of you
and you've been thinking of me.
Oh, I'll give all that I have
If you'll give all that I need.
And oh, oh, oh, lets be fair.
And I think its time we cleared the air.
I've been watching you, you've been watching me.
You know I've been wanting to groove with you.
Girl, speak your mind.
Groove with you.
You been thinking all of this time.
Groove with you.
Aw baby what I wouldn't do.
Groove with you.
Just spending my days with you.
Oh, love is all in your eyes,
love fire is burning for me.
You stay all in my mind.
Oh woman, its easy to see.
Oh, lets be fair
You know its time we cleared the air
You've been watching me, I've been watching you.
You know, you know,
Groove with you.
Oh I want a groove, I want a groove
Groove with you.
I've been thinking, you've been thinking, thinking of me.
Groove with you.
Oh what I wouldn't do to groove with you.
Groove with you.
You've been watching, I been watching watching you
Groove with you
And every chance I get, from the first time we meet
I want a groove with you.

"Harvest For The World"

"Harvest For The World"


All babies together, everyone a seed
Half of us are satisfied, half of us in need
Love's bountiful in us, tarnished by our greed
When will there be a harvest for the world

A nation planted, so concerned with gain
As the seasons come and go, greater grows the pain
And far too many feelin' the strain
When will there be a harvest for the world

Gather everyman, gather every woman
Celebrate your lives, give thanks for your children
Gather everyone, gather all together
Overlooking none, hopin' life gets better for the world

Dress me up for battle, when all I want is peace
Those of us who pay the price, come home with the least
Nation after nation, turning into beast
When will there be a harvest for the world

"Harvest For The World (Prelude)"

"Harvest For The World (Prelude)"


Gather everyman, gather everywoman
Celebrate your lives, give thanks for your children
When will there be a harvest for all the people
When will there be a harvest for the world
