"How He Could Hurt You"

"How He Could Hurt You"


Listen
Baby I know
That you really think he loves you
And it would hurt you so
If you knew the thing that I knew baby
Cause I see the things
That he does behind your back
And I ask myself
How can he treat you like that
Cause if I had your love
I'd never let you go
And I just don't know

[Chorus:]
How could he hurt you?
(How could he hurt you?)
How could he treat you so bad?
(How could he treat you so bad?)
How could he lie to you...
(How could he lie to you?)
And have the nerve to say that he loves you?
How could he hurt you?
(How could he hurt you?)
How could he cheat on you...
(How could he hurt you?)
And say that he cares for you?
He don't deserve to say that he loves you

I know you think
That your love is pure and true
How long can it take
For you to see the pain he's causing you
If I had the chance
I know I'd be the perfect man
Cause he couldn't really know
What a good thing he has
If I had your love
I'd never let you go
And I just don't know

[Chorus]

He don't deserve a lady half as good as you
If I had your love I'd do the things that he won't do
He plays you for a fool cause he thinks you need him
Bu if you let me
Let me
I said I'll show you what loves about

[Chorus]

"I Ain't Got Nothin'"

"I Ain't Got Nothin'"


You know, every house has a door and every room has a floor.
Every fence has a gate and every beast has a mate.
Everybody, everybody's got something but me.
I ain't got nothing.

Every stove has a fire and every car has a tire.
Every fish has a bowl and every shoe has a sole.
Everybody, everybody's got something but me.
I ain't got nothing.

Now I don't care about politics and things across the sea.
All I want all I want to do is love
And have somebody love me. I need I need somebody.

Every lion has a den and every little pig has its pen.
Every road has a way and (they tell me) every dog has its day.
Everybody, everybody's got something but me.
I ain't got nothing I ain't got nothing. Oh no.

"I Can't Think Of A Thing At All"

"I Can't Think Of A Thing At All"


Now, if a rock, should separate us.
I'm gonna think of a way I can move that rock.
(Move the rock, move the rock)

And if a clock, should keep me waiting.
I'm gonna think of a way I can speed the clock.
(Speed the clock, speed the clock)

And if a wall is between us.
I'm gonna think of a way I can climb that wall.

I tried to think of something I wouldn't do.
Baby, to get a little closer to you.
You know what?
I couldn't think of a thing at all.
I couldn't think of a thing at all.

Now, if an opinion should become between us.
I'm gonna think of a way we can reach an agreement.
(An agreement, an agreement)

And if a brick floor, should be between us.
I'm gonna think of a way I can dig through the ceiling.
(Through the ceiling, through the ceiling)

If there's a ball of fire between us.
I'm gonna think of a way to get through that ball.

I tried to think of something I wouldn't do.
Baby, to get a little closer to you.
You know what?
I couldn't think of a thing at all.
Baby, I couldn't think of a thing at all.
Hmmm

Yeah, yeah.

Now if a million miles, should separate us.
I'm gonna think of a way I can cross those miles.
(Cross the miles, cross the miles)

And if my actions, begin to bore ya.
I'm gonna think of a way I can change my style.
(Change my style, change my style)

And if there's burning hall between us.
I'm gonna think of a way to get down that hall.

I tried to think of something I wouldn't do.
Hey, to get a little closer to you.
You know what?
I couldn't think of a thing at all.
Believe me. (I couldn't think of a thing at all)
Hear what I say. (I couldn't think of a thing at all)
Believe when I tell ya. (I couldn't think of a thing at all)
I tried and I tried. (I couldn't think of a thing at all)

"I Could Never Love Another (After Loving You)"

"I Could Never Love Another (After Loving You)"


Girl, I can't believe my ears.
Are you really telling my goodbye?
See, you've taken away my reason for livin'
And you won't even tell me why.
Before you walk out the door
There's something I want you to know.

That I could never, ever love another, after loving you.
Ooo-hoo
No other love will I share 'cause none could compare
After loving you.

It was only yesterday.
Your words are still fresh in my mind.
Baby, you said,
Long as rivers flow
Each day you'd love me more.
Now you wanna leave me behind.
Listen baby, I don't know what it's gonna take to make you stay.
I just know I've got to find a way.

'Cause I could never, never, never ever love another, after loving you.
Ooo-hoo
No other love will I share 'cause none, none could compare
After loving you.

So baby, please stay beside me.
I need your sweet love to guide me.
Oh, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Ooo, after loving you.

(I could never love another, after loving you)

Baby, baby, baby
It was only, only, only, only yesterday.
Your words are still fresh in my mind.
I remember you said,
Long as rivers flow.
Each day you'd love me more.
Now you wanna leave, leave me behind.
Listen baby, I don't know what it's gonna take to make you stay.
I just know I've got to find a way.

'Cause I could never...
Never, never, never, ever love another, after loving you.
Ooo-hoo
No other love will I share 'cause none, none could compare
After loving you.

Ooo, baby.
On my bended knees
I'm begging you to stay here with me.
Oh, oh, baby, baby, baby, baby

I could never, never, never, never love another, after loving you.
Ooo-hoo
No other love will I share 'cause none could compare
After loving you.
Baby, baby, baby, baby.
(Never love another, after loving you)

"I Could Never Stop Loving You"

"I Could Never Stop Loving You"


I thought that I could live without your love
But it seems as though I never get enough
Since that first night you laid back in my arms
I haven't been the same, yeah
Guess I got you in my blood
Can't explain
The pleasure you give me (pleasure you give me)
No one can make do that

I could never (baby I could never stop) loving you
I could never (baby I could never stop) loving you

I need your love for more than just a night
Don't you know by now that I'm here for the rest of my life
No matter how many nights I choose to roam
You can rest assure girl that I'll be coming home to you
I can't afford to lose you (can't afford to lose you)
So glad I got to choose you (glad I got to choose you)
For my wife

I could never (baby I could never stop) loving you
I could never (baby I could never stop) loving you

A lot of love this night

I could never (baby I could never stop) loving you
I could never (baby I could never stop) loving you

I tried but I can't
I could never (baby I could never stop) loving you
I could never (baby I could never stop) loving you
I tried but I can't
But I can't stop loving you

"I Couldn't Cry If I Wanted To"

"I Couldn't Cry If I Wanted To"


You ask if I remembered, when we first met.
Girl, tell me how could I ever forget

There, you were standing there.
Aw, with ruby lips and the golden hair.
Your beauty seem to hypnotize me.
I had that feeling I was no longer free.

But when I ask you for a dance. (For a dance)
You wouldn't even give me a chance. (Me a chance)
And it hurt me through and through.
That was the first time I got over you.

You had my heart dingling,
Like a puppet on a string.
To you I meant nothing, darling.
But to me it meant everything.
Girl, you know since then through the years. (Through the years)
I've shed so many tears. (So many tears)
And all because of you, I couldn't cry if I wanted to.

I don't know why I still love you.
'Cause you don't even want me around.
Year after year it's the same o' thing.
You build me up, to let me down.

So go on and hurt me. (Hurt me)
Aw, like you did.
This time it'll be different.
Mmm, my tears you'll see no more.
'Cause I've cried so through the years. (Through the years)
Until I run out of tears. (Run out of tears)
And all because of you, I couldn't cry if I wanted to.

I'll never shed another tear.
I couldn't cry no more, darling.
Seems as though the pain
Have gone the tears from my eyes.
Never cry, never.
Never no more.
I'll never shed another tear.

"I Gotta Find A Way (To Get You Back)"

"I Gotta Find A Way (To Get You Back)"


Woo
Since you've been gone, girl.
Said that, I've been so all alone, girl.
You've got me afraid, afraid to close my eyes.
Each time I do it's you I visualize.

Baby, baby, I can see you walking away. (Walking away, girl)
Just like you did that day, girl. (Did that day, girl)
The same hurt that I felt when we parted.
Baby, baby, once again I started.

So don't you know that I... (I gotta find a way...)
Ooo, I gotta find a way. (...to get you back, girl)
Ooo (I'm so lonely)

Nights I can't sleep, girl.
I tell you without ya, I'm weak girl.
Listen, not one single day, day goes by.
Can I wake up without tear-filled eyes.

Listen, I'm very seldom leave my lonely room. (Leave my lonely room, girl) (?)
'Cause without ya my life is filled with gloom. (Filled with gloom, girl)
There is no inch of the tears that I shed.
Girl, I'm slowly going out of my head.

So don't you know that I... (I gotta find a way...)
Ooo, gotta get you back. (...to get you back, girl)
Oh yeah. (I'm so lonely)
I gotta get ya back, girl.

(Gotta find a way to get you back, oh baby.)
(Gotta find a way to get you back, oh baby.)

Ooo, girl, I, girl, girl, ooo
Now when I'm out walking.
Huh girl, I always wind up on your street.
Look it here, I'm just a broken hearted guy.
In a dark and lonely world.
In need of a love you took from me.

Baby, baby all I do is think about you, baby. (Thinking about you)
It's a cold, lonely world without you. (Cold world without you)
Girl, my heart ain't getting no stronger.
I just can't carry on very much longer.

So don't you know that I... (I gotta find a way...)
Ooo (...to get you back, girl)
Got to get you back.
I, I, I, I (I'm so lonely)

I gotta get you back. (I gotta find a way to get you back)
Oh baby, baby (Oh, baby)
I gotta get you back. (I gotta find a way to get you back)
Woo, look it here. (Oh, baby)

I got to find a way to get you back... (girl)
Woo (I'm so lonely)
I gotta find a way. (I gotta find a way to get you back)
Oh baby, baby, baby (Oh, baby)

I gotta find a way. (I gotta find a way to get you back)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Oh, baby)
I got to find a way to get you back... (girl)
Oh, ooo (I'm so lonely)
