"Romance Without Finance"

"Romance Without Finance"


No I'm not the type of girl to say
Baby, if you wanna play you pay
No way, I'm not that kind
Oh yeah, I've got love on my mind
Down in the quarter
Out on the corner, walkin' the line
They say romance without finance
That's a crime

Mercy me, heavens above!
What's money got to do with love?
I need a squeeze without a doubt
Won't put my hold on your bank account
I need a lover
Under the cover of the night
And if it's romance without finance
That's all right

Let us give you some free advice
Say that love must have its price
Can't you see girl, you're wastin' your time
That boy, he ain't got a dime

They don't know if your love is true
They don't see what I see in you
You got a touch, feelin' so fine
I don't care about your bottom line

Down in the quarter
Almighty dollar's on their minds
But I'll take romance over finance
Every time

I don't care what your daddy do
I don't care if your blood is blue
Legal tender's bringin' me down
It ain't what makes my world go round

I need a lover
Seens me some tender eyes that shine
I'll take my romance over finance
Every time

Romance without finance
And I'll take romance over finance
Every time

All of the other, other, other reindeer.
Used to laugh and call him names.
They never let poor Rudolph.
Join in any reindeer games.

(Then one foggy Christmas eve)
You know (Santa came to say...)

(Hey Rudolph)
You, with your nose so bright.
Melvin: Come on, come on, come on, come on and guide my sleigh tonight.

Then how the reindeer loved him.
As they shouted out with glee. (Hey Rudolph)
Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer.
You'll go down in history.

"Run Charlie Run"

"Run Charlie Run"


I watch you go to church on Sunday
But you forget all you learned on Monday
You see your smiling face can't hide
How you hate your brother inside

So Ima telling you
Run, Charlie, run
Look! The niggers are coming!
(The niggers are coming?!)
Run, Charlie, run
Look! The niggers are coming!
(The niggers are coming?!)

You built this great big beautiful city
But you ran away and left it to die. What a pity.
You could have made friends with your neighbor
But you are much too prejudiced to try; tell me why!

So Ima telling you
Run, Charlie, run
Look! The niggers are coming!
(The niggers are coming?!)
Run, Charlie, run
Look! The niggers are coming!
(The niggers are coming?!)

But the greatest wrong you know you've done
Is you passed this sickness onto your son
(your one and only boy)
He came into this world with a mind so clean
You took it, molded it, and made it mean!

So Ima telling you
Run, Charlie, run
Look! The niggers are coming!
(The niggers are coming?!)
Run, Charlie, run
Look! The niggers are coming!
(The niggers are coming?!)

"Runaway Child, Running Wild"

"Runaway Child, Running Wild"


You played hooky from school
And you can't go out to play, yeah
Mama said for the rest of the week
In your room you gotta stay, yeah
Now you feel like
The whole world's pickin on you
But deep down inside you know it ain't true
You've been punished cause your mother
Wants to raise you the right way, yeah
But you don't care
Cause you already made up your mind

You wanna run away, yeah
You're on your way
Run away child, running wild
Run away child, running wild
Better come back home
Better come back home
Where you belong
Where you belone

Roaming through the city
Going nowhere fast
You're on your own at last
Hey it's getting late, where will you sleep
Gettin kind-a hungry
You forgot to bring something to eat
Oh lost with no money, you start to cry
But remember you left home
Wanting to be grown
So dry your weepin eyes
Siren screamin down, neon light is flickin
You want your mama
Ah there's nothing for you
You're frightened and confused I want my mama
But she's much too far away
She can't hear a word you say
You heard some frightening news on the radio
About little boys running away from home
And their parents don't see them no more
You wanna hitch a ride and go home
But your mama told you never trust a stranger
And you don't know which way to go
Streets are dark and deserted
Not a sound nor sign of life
How you long to hear your mother's voice
Cause you're lost and alone
But remember you make the choice

Run away child, running wild
Better go back home where you belong
Run away child, running wild
Better go back home where you belong

You're lost in this great big city
(Go back home where you belong)
Not one familiar face
Ain't it a pity
(Go back home where you belong)
Oh run away child, running wild
You better go back home where you belong
Mama, mama please come and see about me
But she's much too far away
She can't hear a word you say I want my mama
You're frightened and confused
Which way will you choose

"Running Away (Ain't Gonna Help You)"

"Running Away (Ain't Gonna Help You)"


Running away sure, ain't gonna help you

Oh girl, why won't you talk to me on the phone?
Every time I call, you disguise your voice
And tell me you're not at home

And girl this cold shoulder you're giving me
I don't understand
Could it be that you've already got yourself a man
If not

Running away sure, ain't gonna help you
I'm gonna get you girl, I'm gonna get now
Running away sure, ain't gonna help you
I'm gonna get you girl, I'm gonna get

Could it be, could it be
That you're afraid of me?
If so I never recall giving you a reason
You know how much I love you

"Say You"

"Say You"


Say, you
Who do you belong to?
Say, you
I've been hoping to meet you

Baby (Baby)
You've caught my eye
I can't deny
I realize it's you
I like what I see
You're perfect for me
Fast and fancy

Say, you
Who do you love? (Say, you)

I don't want to be friends if my heart kept seein'
Watching you play around (You play around)
This would make me sad
Hurt so bad
Drag my spirit down

Girl...Say, you
Who do you love? (Say, you)
(Baby) Give me the key to your heart.
Baby, say you
Who do you belong to?
(Give me the key to your heart)
Baby, baby, you, Lil' Girl
(Give me the key to your heart)
Baby, you.

"Shakey Ground"

"Shakey Ground"


Lady luck and the four leaf clover
Won't be as hurt as I feel all over
My life for one special occasion
'Til you leave in depth the situation

Well well well standing on shakey ground
Ever since you put me down
Standing on shakey ground
Ever since you put me down

My car got repossessed this morning
Harder times I haven't seen in years
Able to throw me a life preserver
'Cos I'm about to drown in my own tears

Well well well standing on shakey ground
Ever since you put me down
Standing on shakey ground
Ever since you put me down

Well well well standing on shakey ground
Ever since you put me down

Standing on shakey ground
Ever since you put me down
Standing on shakey ground
Ever since you put me down

Well well well standing on shakey ground
Shaking, shakey ground
Standing, standing
Standing on shakey ground

"She's All I've Got"

"She's All I've Got"


Every time I turn my head
Somebody's trying to beat my time
I can understand how they feel
But this little woman's mine
She's got a million dollar smile
And her heart is made of gold
I'll be with her forever and that's how the story goes

Because baby she's all I've got and she means a lot to me
All I've got; she's all I've got
She's all I've got and she means a lot to me
All I've got; she's all I've got

I need a sweet inspiration morning noon and night
(Sweet, sweet, so sweet)
I got so much respect for my lady
Anything she says is right
Making love to her is so damn good
It just gets Better every time
And I'm so glad that she's with me
Because a good woman's hard to find

Because baby she's all I've got
And she means a lot to me
All I've got; she's all I've got (yes she does)

She's all I've got and she means a lot to me
All I've got; she's all I've got

Ain't going to take too much to tell nobody
About my lady

She's all I've got and she means so much to me
All I've got; she's all I've got (yes she does)
She's all I've got and she means a lot to me
All I've got; she's all I've got

She's all I've got and she means so much to me
(Yes she is)
All I've got; she's all I've got
(I don't want to ever lose her)
She's all I've got and she means a lot to me
All I've got; she's all I've got

Just want to talk about my lady for a little while
Yes I do, yeah I do
I just want you to know
She's so fine; so glad she's mine
She's so fine; so glad she's mine

And every time I get up in the morning
And I see her by my side
She makes me feel so good (feel so good)
I feel so good
Feel so good, I feel so good
Because my baby, she's the one that I love
And I feel so good when I'm by her side
Making love to her is so dog-gone good
It gets better every time
She's got a million dollar smile
And I'm so glad that smile is mine

Feel so good
She's my baby
My baby, she's all I've got and she's means a lot to me
All I've got; she's all I've got
(She's my sweet inspiration)
She's all I've got and she means a lot to me

All I've got; she's all I've got
(She's got a million dollar smile)
She's all I've got and she means a lot to me
All I've got; she's all I've got
