"Sorry Is A Sorry Word"

"Sorry Is A Sorry Word"


Remember me the one who heard your cries
And reached out and dried your eyes

Remember me the one who found you and wrapped all my love around you
When you were all alone and your dreams were all gone
When you were nothing but a tear stained face I did feel for you
Girl your broken wing is mended and your need for me has ended
Girl you say you must be free
You wanna fly away from me
You were lost and your yesterday is my tomorrow
And now you say you must be free, baby

Sorry is a sorry word after all I've done for you
Sorry is a sorry word when I need a love that's true

Out of sympathy and all you feel for me
After all the sweet love I've given to you (given you baby)
Girl you walk away with the best part of me
The love I gave to you to give it to someone new
And sorry won't ease the feeling.

Sorry is a sorry word after all I've done for you
Sorry is a sorry word when I need a love that's true

"Stand By Me"

"Stand By Me"


When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
No I won't be afraid, no I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

So darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me
Oh, stand, Stand by me, stand by me

If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
Or the mountains should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry, no I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me
Oh, stand now, Stand by me, stand by me

Darlin', darlin', stand by me, stand by me
Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me.

Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me, oh now now stand by me
Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

"Standing On The Top"
(feat. Rick James)

"Standing On The Top"
(feat. Rick James)



Yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi

When you're on the top
There's no place you can really go but down, down, down
People on the street congratulate you
They say they love the way you sound, well

When you're on the low
No one wants to chit or chat or even know your name
Your agent's never there
Your manager has ripped you off and gone somewhere
Standing on the top

Standing on the top, top
On the top getting down, yeah
Standing on the top (Yeah), top
On the top getting down, Temptations sing

Standing on the top, top
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Standing on the top, top
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

When you're on the top
Everyone you meet they wanna be your long lost friend
They say how great you are, a superstar
But do you have any money to lend
(Hey, man, can you loan me a few bucks)

When you're on the low
Where do all the freaks and fancy people go, (I don't know) I don't know
People sit and stare
Askin' crazy questions, "Do you braid your hair" and "What's L-7 Square"

Standing on the top, top
On the top getting down, ho

Hey...hoo

Standing on the top, top
On the top getting down, down, down, down
Standing on the top (Sing)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (Well, well, well, well, well, well)
Standing on the top (Well)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (Standing on the top getting down)

Can you understand it (We understand it)
Can you understand it what I'm talkin' about
When I say that funk is here to stay (We understand it)
Can you understand it what I'm talkin' about
That funk is here to stay, oh (We understand it)
If you understand it say, "Yeah" {Yeah...yeah...}

We want the funk
We want the funk and nothing else (We want the funk)
We want the funk and nothing else will do

We want the funk
We want the funk and nothing else (We want the funk)
We want the funk and nothing else will do

We want the funk
We want the funk and nothing else (We want the funk)
We want the funk and nothing else will do

We want the funk
We want the funk and nothing else (We want the funk)

I'll save you from the highest mountain (The highest mountain)
Paint the words across the sky (All across the sky) (Ooh..ooh..ooh..)
I can't live without you (You know I can't)
I can love you through the day and all night, and all night (Please), and all night
Of all the riches in the world, you will forever be my girl (I wanna know)

"Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch"

"Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch"


Oooooooooooooooh!
Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch
You know that I love you
I can't help myself
I love you and nobody else

In and out my life (in and out my life)
You come and you go (you come and you go)
Leaving just your picture behind....(ooh)
And I've kissed it a thousand times (ooh)
When you snap your finger, or wink you eye,
I come a-running to you
I'm tied to your apron strings,
And there's nothing that I can do

I can't help myself,
No, I can't help myself,

'Cause, Sugar Pie Honey Bunch
I'm weaker than a man should be
I can't help myself
I'm a fool in love 'ya see

Wanna tell you I don't love you,
Tell you that we're through
And I try....
But ev'ry time I see your face,
I get all choked up inside
When I call your name,
Girl, it starts to flame
Burning in my heart,
Tearing it all apart..
No matter how I try
My love I cannot hide....

'Cause Sugar Pie Honey Bunch
You know that I'm waiting for you (waiting for you)
I can't help myself
I love you and nobody else

Sugar Pie Honey Bunch
I'd do anything you ask me to (ask me to)
I can't help myself
I want you and nobody else

Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch
You know that I love you (I dooo)
I can't help myself...
No... I can't help myself

"Superstar (Remember How You Got Where You Are)"

"Superstar (Remember How You Got Where You Are)"


Higher, higher
Fire

Don't change your style now that you've reached the top
Don't choose your friends by what they've got
Remember beneath the glitter and gleam
Like everyday people you're just a human being

Superstar, good God
Enjoy your champagne and caviar
And your chauffeur drivin' fancy car
But remember how you got where you are
Oh ho ho, 'cause the same folks that made you
Um hum, you better believe they can break you

No you didn't make it all by yourself
You had help from somebody else
The truth is the light, don't let it depress you
You just be thankful that the good Lord made you

Superstar, ah do you know who your real friends are
Ah, talkin' to you
Superstar, remember how you got where you are
Ah ah down, down, down, down

Drummer keep it going, going
Horns star blowin', right on time blow my mind
Blow my mind
Higher higher, higher higher

It's easy for you to look down
Turn up your nose and frown
Now that you're on top
Top

Bright lights
Don't let the bright lights blind you
Bridge
Don't burn 'em behind you

Superstar, superstar do you know who your real friends are
Ah, talkin' to you
Superstar, remember how you got where you are
Um hum, um hum

Don't change your style now that you've reached the top
Don't choose your friends by what they've got
Remember beneath the glitter and gleam
Like everyday people you're just a human being

Superstar, superstar do you know who your real friends are
Ah, talkin' to you
Superstar remember how you got where you are

"Take A Look Around"

"Take A Look Around"


Feather in your cap if you catch a robber,
Dirt in your face if your scheme falls through
Pay close attention to my story
Youll find every word is true.
Junk man standing on the corner
Selling death, no concience has he.
In the name of God, wont somebody stop him
stop him, think about the children
Its a matter of life and death, you see.
Aint no time to stand back and point your finger,
Weve got to face reality.
No, no, no, no, no...
Dont turn your back on this problem, people,
too much depends on you and me.
Desprate with no sense of value,
just an evil mind lurking through the night.
Because of you, the streets aint safe no more for walking,
cause youre feeling so up-tight.
Take a look around

"Take A Stroll Thru Your Mind"

"Take A Stroll Thru Your Mind"


One drag, that's all it took
One drag, that's all it took

Take a stroll through your mind
You'll be surprised at what you might find
Take a stroll through your mind
You'll be surprised at what you might find, yeah

People I got sunshine on a cloudy day, ya
I got sunshine, sunshine on a cloudy day, have mercy
People I'm grooving, groovin' me and myself, dig?
I'm just groovin', groovin' me and myself, oh Lord, have mercy

Take a stroll through your mind
You'll be surprised at what you might find, hmm
Take a stroll through your mind
You'll be surprised at what you might find, yeah, just me

Callin' on the group to give me a little whoop, whoop

And color me out

My mind sleeping but I'm wide awake
My mind sleeping but I'm wide awake
One drag, that's all it took

Welcome to the circle, ya, we'll decide, you dig?
'Cause you people look at us like we're freaks
Ding, dong, dang, ain't no thang baby

There is no young, there is no old
Reach and touch your soul

Tell me, have you ever been off the ground
For a long, nice and slow? Here we go

Seems like every Monday morning I've got the blues
And every Tuesday, I get some bad news
Wednesday worse 'cause I ain't got a dime to my name
I done worked so hard all week

Thursday, my body just racked with pain
Here come the good part
Friday the eagle flies and so do I
I wonder if you hear me when I say
The eagle flies on Friday and so do I, yeah, just listen

Take a stroll through your mind
You'll be surprised at what you might find
Take a stroll through your mind
You'll be surprised at what you might find, yeah

"Tear From A Woman's Eyes"

"Tear From A Woman's Eyes"


I saw the saddest thing, other day.
When an old man pass my way.
Walking the streets so all alone.
All because he had no home.

But the saddest thing I've ever seen,
Is a tear from a woman's eye.
A tear from a woman's eye.
Hmmm

I saw a man, no shoes on his feet.
But the saddest thing is to see a woman weep.
A woman is tender thing.
To see her cry, a sad, sad thing.

Nothing touches me deeper inside,
Than a tear from a woman's eye.
A tear from a woman's eye.
Hmmm

[Instrumental - Humming]

A woman's tears dropping on her cheek,
Is like a sound of thunder, that loudly it rings.
'Cause when I see her cry, I know she hurts inside.

Yes, the saddest thing I've ever seen.
Is a tear from a woman's eye.
A tear from a woman's eye.
Hmmm

Sad, sad thing is a tear from a woman's eye.
A sad, sad thing is to see a woman cry.
Sad, sad, sad thing is a tear from a woman's eye.
Sad, sad, sad thing is to see a woman cry.

"That's Life"

"That's Life"


That's life, that's what people say.
You're riding' high in April,
Shot down in May.
But I know I'm gonna change that tune,
When I'm back on top in June.

That's life, funny as it seems.
Some people get their kicks,
Steppin' on dreams;
But I don't let it get me down,
'Cause this ol' word keeps getting around.

I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate,
A poet, a pawn and a king.
I've been up and down and over and out
And I know one thing:
Each time I find myself flat on my face,
I pick myself up and get back in the race.
That's life, I can't deny it,
I thought of quitting,
But my heart just won't buy it.

If I didn't think it was worth a try,
I'd roll myself up in a big ball and die.
