"I Heard It Through The Grapevine"

"I Heard It Through The Grapevine"


I bet you're wondering how I knew.
Ah, what you're plans to make me blue.
With some other guy you knew before.
Between the two of us, you know I love you more.

[Dennis:]
It took me by surprise I must say, when I found out yesterday.
Oh, I heard it through the grapevine. (Heard it through the grapevine)
Not much longer would you be mine. (Not much longer would you be mine)
Oh, I heard it through the grapevine. (Heard it through the grapevine)
And I'm just about to lose my mind.

I know a man ain't supposed to cry.
But these tears I can't hold inside.
Losin' you would end my life you see.
'Cause you mean that much to me.

[Eddie:]
You could have told me yourself,
Oh, that you love someone else.
Instead I heard it through the grapevine. (Heard it through the grapevine)
Not much longer would you be mine. (Not much longer would you be mine)
Oh, I heard it through the grapevine. (Heard it through the grapevine)
Oh, and I am, and I am just about lose my mind.

Ah, boom, boom, boom,...[etc.]

[Dennis:]
People say believe half of what you see.
Oh, and none of what you hear.
Whoa, I jus' can't help being confused.
If it's true please tell me dear.

[Eddie:]
Do you plan to let me go
For the other guy you left me for
Don't you know that I heard it through the grapevine. (Heard it through the grapevine)
Not much longer would you be mine. (Heard it, heard it, I heard it, yes I heard it)
Oh, I heard it through the grapevine. (Heard it, heard it, I heard it, yes I heard it)
Oh, heard it through the grapevine.(Heard it, heard it, I heard it, yes I heard it)
I heard it through the grapevine. (Heard it, heard it, I heard it, yes I heard it)
Woo, I heard it through the grapevine. (Heard it, heard it, I heard it, yes I heard it)
I heard it through the grapevine. (Heard it, heard it, I heard it, yes I heard it)
Oh, heard it throught the grapevine.(Heard it, heard it, I heard it, yes I heard it)

"I Need Your Lovin'"

"I Need Your Lovin'"


Da-da-da-daa-da-da-hoo
Da-da-da-daa-da-da-da-hoo-hoo

You say you gonna leave me, for the arms of another.
You say my love for you is no good and we can't go any further.
But have pity on me.
I was blind but know I see.
Stay with me and never walk out of my life.

Because...
Ooo, I need your lovin'. (I need your lovin')
Oh, ooo, I need your lovin'. (I need your lovin', baby)

Inspite of all the wrong I've done, I'll make it up to ya.
Even if it takes all my life, I'll prove my love to ya.
So please don't go away.
With me always stay, 'cause I love you.
And I couldn't stand it being away, girl.

Ooo, I need your lovin'. (I need your lovin')
Oh, ooo, I need your lovin'. (I need your lovin', baby)

Girl, restore the faith you had in me.
I'm beggin' you down on my knees.
Please don't take your love from me.
Don't leave me, don't leave.

Forgive this fool, for causing your heart to suffer.
Remember two wrongs don't make a right, it'll only make things tougher.
So have little sympathy, on a poor fool like me.
And stay with me, please don't walk out of my life.

Because...
Ooo, I need your lovin'. (I need your lovin')
Oh, ooo, I need your lovin'. (I need your lovin', baby)

Oh baby, baby, baby. (I need your lovin')
Oh, woo, I need your lovin'. (I need your lovin', baby)
Oh-oh-oh (I need your lovin')
I need your lovin' baby, baby, baby. (I need your lovin', baby)
Oh, woo, I need your lovin'. (I need your lovin')
I need it, I need it.

"I Wanna Get Next To You"

"I Wanna Get Next To You"


Sittin' here in this chair waitin' on you
Ah, baby, to see things my way
But not a word do you say
You won't even look my way
Girl, I'm spending my dimes, wasting my time
Talking 'til I'm black and blue
Ah, can't you see
I wanna get next to you
Dreams of you and I go sailing by
Whenever your eyes meet mine
[spoken] You're so fine
And girl you make me feel so insecure
You're so beautiful and pure
Why must you be so unkind
[spoken] and tell me I'm not your kind, blowin' my mind
Girl my money is low and I know
That I can't take you to the fancy places you might wanna go
Still I wanna get next to you
Ah I wanna get next to you
Girl you can bend me, shake me, make me
Whatever it takes to please you I'm willing to do
'Cause you're my dream come true
I wanna get next to you
I wanna get next to you
I wanna make you mine for all time
I wanna get next to you
I promise I'll never make you blue
I wanna get next to you
I wanna get next to you

"I Wish It Would Rain"

"I Wish It Would Rain"


Hmmm
Sunshine, blue skies, please go away.
My girl has found another and gone away.
With her went my future, my life is filled with gloom.
So day after day, I stayed locked up in my room.
I know to you it might sound strange.
But I wish it would rain. (How I wish that it would rain)
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

'Cause so badly I wanna go outside. (Such a lovely day)
But everyone knows that a man ain't suppose to cry, listen.
I gotta cry 'cause cryin' eases the pain, oh yeah.
People this hurt I feel inside, words can never explain.
I just wish it would rain. (Oh, how I wish that it would rain)

Oh, let it rain.
Rain, rain, rain (Oh, how I wish that it would rain)
Ooo, baby. Let it rain.
(Let it rain) Oh yeah, let it rain.

[Instrumental]

Day in, day out, my tear stained face
Pressed against the window pane.
My eyes search the skies, desperately for rain.
'Cause raindrops will hide my teardrops.
And no one will ever know.
That I'm cryin'... cryin' when I go outside.
To the world outside my tears, I refuse to explain.
Oh, I wish it would rain. (Oh, how I wish that it would rain)
Ooo, baby.

Let it rain, let it rain.
I need rain to disguise the tears in my eyes.
Oh, let it rain.
Oh, yeah, yeah listen.
I'm a man and I got my pride.
Give me rain or I'm gonna stay inside.
Let it rain.

(Let it rain)
(Let it (rain) (rain) (rain) rain, rain)

"I'm Glad There Is You"

"I'm Glad There Is You"


In this world of ordinary people
Extraordinary people
I'm glad there is you
In this world of over-rated pleasures
Of under-rated treasures
I'm so glad there is you
I live to love, I love to live with you beside me
This role so new, I'll muddle through with you to guide me
In this world where many, many play at love
And hardly any stay in love
I'm glad there is you

In this world where many, many play at love
And hardly any stay in love
I'm glad there is you
More than ever, I'm glad there is you
