"That's The Way Love Is"

"That's The Way Love Is"


Ah baby
After many tears fall from your eyes
A thousand times you ask yourself why
The one guy you love has departed
You're left alone and broken-hearted
Love just comes and goes
How long it's gonna last nobody knows

[Chorus:]
That's the way love is, baby [or honey, or other endearing term]
(That's the way love is, sugar, how it is)
That's the way love is, baby
(That's the way love is, sugar, how it is)
That's how it is

I know you're walkin' down a lonesome road
And your heart is carryin' a heavy load
I know you feel like you ain't got a friend (ain't got a friend)
And your whole world's cavin' in (cavin' in)
Ah, but now is the time to be strong (to be strong)
You better forget him now that he's gone (now that he's gone)
Remember...

[Chorus]

[Instrumental]

Listen to me, little darlin'
The road of love is rough sometimes
But don't let it get the best of you
I've been hurt by love so many times
I know just what you're goin' through
You wish you were never born
You better forget him now that he's gone

[Chorus]

Wipe away your tears
Love is here today and gone tomorrow
(That's the way love is, sugar, how it is)
All your joys turn to sorrow
(That's the way love is, sugar, how it is)
One day gladness, and the next day sadness
(That's the way love is, sugar, how it is)
[...and fade]

"That's Why (I Love You So)"

"That's Why (I Love You So)"


The way you make me feel like I belong;
The way you make me right when I am wrong;
The way you sacrifice just for me;
Just how lucky can a poor man be?

That is why.
(That's why I love you so.)
That is why.
(That's why I love you so.)
Don't you know, baby?
(That's why I love you so.)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I want the world to know.

The way you rub my back when I'm in pain;
The way you soothe me so I won't complain;
And then you kiss me with your ruby red lips;
It thrills me so, I turn a back-over flip.

That is why.
(That's why I love you so.)
That is why.
(That's why I love you so.)
Don't you know, baby?
(That's why I love you so.)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I want the world to know.

If Shakespeare thought that Juliet
Really loved Romeo from the time they met,
Uh he would blow his top if he could see
Just how you've been loving me.

The way you rub my back when I'm in pain;
The way you soothe me so I won't complain;
And then you kiss me with your ruby red lips;
It thrills me so, I turn a back-over flip.

That is why.
(That's why I love you so.)
That is why.
(That's why I love you so.)
Don't you know, baby?
(That's why I love you so.)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I want the world to know.

"That'™S How Heartaches Are Made"

"That'™S How Heartaches Are Made"


(That's how heartaches are made)
(That's how heartaches are made)
They told me I was such a fool to love you
They say that you're the kind who'd never be true
Pretty soon the day would come
When I'd be the sorry one
But I said that I'm not afraid, well
That's how heartaches are made
That's how heartaches are made
I went ahead and my heart opened the door
I gave you so much love no-one could want more
You pretended to be mine
How could you be so unkind?
With all the other girls you played, well
That's how heartaches are made
That's how heartaches are made
That's how heartaches are made
That's how heartaches are made
I know you're not sincere
And you'll never be
But still I want your kisses so desperately
I can never let you go
Baby, you know I know
Every rule of love you disobeyed, well
That's how heartaches are made
That's how heartaches are made
That's how heartaches are made

"The First Time Ever (I Saw Your Face)"

"The First Time Ever (I Saw Your Face)"


The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark and the empty skies, my love,
To the dark and the empty skies.

The first time ever I kissed your mouth
And felt your heart beat close to mine
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command, my love
That was there at my command.

The first time ever I lay with you
I felt the earth move in my hand
I thought our joy would fill the earth
And last 'till the end of time, my love,
And last

"The Further You Look, The Less You See"

"The Further You Look, The Less You See"


Many a man has gone away
Many a man has gone astray
Searching for the treasures of a love that's true
I'm hoping that my treasure can be you
Cause I believe, I believe

The further you look
Show love now
The less you see
I'm hoping you'd be the treasure meant for me

I've seen men carry their hopes from town to town
Trying to track lost treasures down
Some find true love before their hopes are gone
Others lose hope and they have to --yes, now -- move on
And I can hear them say as they go down

The further you look,
You better know that
The less you see
So I'm hoping you'd be the treasure meant for me

Oh-oh-oohhh-oh
Travel, travelling on
Wondering if they've done something wrong
Moving on becoming a rover
But if you'll be mine, my searching is all over because now

The further you look,
Show love now
The less you see
I'm hoping you'll be the treasure meant for me

And I know, I know, I know
The further you look,
the less you're gonna see
so I'm hoping you'd be the treasure meant for me

And I believe, I believe right now
The further you look,
the less you're gonna see
so I'm hoping you'll be the treasure meant for me

"The Girl's Alright With Me"

"The Girl's Alright With Me"


[Eddie:]
This little girl of mine
I wanna say shes so fine
And each and every day
I'll make sure she has her now
We don't feel tied down
Allthough are hearts are bound
I don't have to chsae her all over town
My baby shes all ways around

[Chorus:]
The girls allright with me
You know the girls allright [repeat]

Now shes so good to me
I guess thats why i feel fancy free
Just to see the glow in her eyes
Makes me once agian realize
I love her with all of my
And i know we'll never eva part
I never heard about or caught
Her playin i guess thats why
You allways hear me sayin'

[Chorus]

When i visit at her home
Other fellas never never ring her phone
She lets them know just where they stand
She tells them all that i'm her man
And when we're out on a date
Other fellas wait till i walk away
They try to beat my time
She tells them in a nice way shes mine
All mine

[Chorus]
[Fading]

"The Impossible Dream"
(feat. Diana Ross & The Supremes)

"The Impossible Dream"
(feat. Diana Ross & The Supremes)



To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go

To right the unrightable wrong
To love pure and chaste from afat
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star

This is my quest to follow that star
No matter how hopeless, no matter how far
To fight for the right
Without question or pause
To be willing to march
Into hell for a heavenly cause

And I know if I'll only be true
To this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest

And the world will be better for this
That one man, scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star
The fight the unbeatable foe
To dream the impossible dream

And the world will be better for this
That one man, scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star
To fight the unbeatable foe
To dream the impossible dream

"The Prophet"

"The Prophet"


A man cried, “Where do we look?
What do we say? How do we find it?
A woman needs love, “My body needs love,
my soul needs love, how do I find it?”
We all need love, gotta have love.
Prophet! Prophet!

I dream of a prophet man from a far distant land… Ali!

They say that lord will call to you
to follow him, though it’s hard to do.
Believe, believe! We gotta believe!

Within your heart is the secret of life,
with joy and sorrow, pleasure and strife.
Love is all of these things.

I dream of a prophet man from a far distant land… Ali!

A priestess said, “Tell us a prayer!”
A lawyer said, “Is law fair?”

Astronomers cried of galaxies and time.
A poet said, “Is there duty to find?”

To speak of god, speak of reason,
Speak about death, speak about freedom!
Gotta have truth, gotta have wisdom,
give us your word to give to our children!

I dream of a prophet man from a far distant land… Ali!

The clock struck twelve at the church of water.
Their voices beckoned to the prophet’s call.

You give up yourself when you truly give;
possessions shouldn’t rule the life you live.
Work with love and love your work;
and idle man is a stranger on earth.
Blame yourself for wrong deeds done;
the innocent can be the guilty ones.
Freedom disguises itself in chains;
happiness sometimes hides in pain.
Children are made and are born to you;
but they’re not slaves that belong to you.
God doesn’t listen to the words you pray;
he hears what your heart has got to say.

I dream of a prophet man from a far distant land… Ali!

"The Way You Do The Things You Do"

"The Way You Do The Things You Do"


You've got a smile so bright, you know you could have been a candle
I'm holding you so tight, you know you could have been a handle
The way you swept me off my feet, you know you could have been a broom
The way you smell so sweet, you know you could have been some perfume

[Chorus:]
Well, you could have been anything that you wanted to
And I can tell, the way you do the things you do

As pretty as you are, you know you could have been a flower
If good looks was a minute, you know that you could be an hour
The way you stole my heart, you know you could have been a crook
And baby you're so smart, you know you could have been a schoolbook

[Chorus]

You made my heart so rich, you know you could have been some money
And baby you're so sweet, you know you could have been some honey

[Chorus]

You really swept me off my feet, you made my life complete
You made my life so bright, you make me feel alright

"Think For Yourself"

"Think For Yourself"


We're expecting miracles from the Whitehouse
Tell me how much can one man do
He's just trying to pull the world together
To make it better it's up to me and you

The first role of man
is self-revelation from god
Don't be led astray
You're leaning on somebody's job

Think for yourself
Stop depending on someone else
To do your job for you
Oh your job for you
I wish you would (think for yourself)
Stop depending on someone else
Ooh, to do your (job for you)
Don't you let them (do your job for you)
Well

Think
You got to (think)

Keeping up with the pace of the space age
Inventors drawing blueprints every day
Automation means conductive labor
Be prepared for whatever comes your way

Educate your mind
Because you've still got time to pursue
Any dream in mind
It's your life; it's all up to you

Think for yourself
Stop depending on someone else
To do your job for you
Oh your job for you
Do your job for you

Think for yourself

Stop depending on someone else
To do your job for you
Oh your job for you

Think
Stay in school
Think
Don't be a fool

Educate your mind
Because you've still got time to pursue
Any dream in mind
It's your life; it's all up to you

Think for yourself
Stop depending on someone else
To do your job for you (do it yourself)
Oh your job for you
Do your job for you (come on, come on)

Think for yourself
Stop depending on someone else
To do your job for you
Oh your job for you (do your job, do your job)

Think
Stay in school
That's what I call being cool
Think
Get out that line
Stop wasting time

Think for yourself
Stop depending on someone else
(Stop depending on someone else)
To do your job for you (do your job)
Oh your job for you (don't you let them)

Think for yourself
Stop depending on someone else
To do your job for you (do you job for you)
Oh your job for you (do your job for you)

Think
We've got to use our minds
I'm so tired of hearing the plea that I can't do this and
That ain't me
I don't want to hear
That's what I could've done; that's what I should've
Done; that's what I would've done
Think for yourself
Think (well, well)
Think (come on)
Stop and use your head
Think (we've got to work)
Think (got to use our minds)
Stop and use your head (got to stop wasting time)

Think for yourself
Stop depending on someone else
To do your job for you (do your job)
Oh your job for you (do your job)
