"I'm Ready For Love"

"I'm Ready For Love"


As I stand alone on this moonful night.
For the first time I feel alone in life.
As I watched the moon kissed the star-lit skies.
I feel the need for your lips to press close to mine.

For so long, I've been afraid to love.
But right now I feel a need for love.
And you have the love, love I need. (Right now)
Aw, to comfort me.

Ooo, and I'm ready for love. (Ready for love)
I'm truly ready for love. (Ready for love)
Your wonderful sweet, sweet love. (Sweet, sweet love)
Ooo, and I'm ready for love.

I tried to shield my heart from love tender touch.
'Cause to lose a love, aw, would hurt so much.
But as I softly walked in my solitude.
I search my heart and I found there's a need for you.

And for the first time I feel alone.
'Cause I need a love, aw, to call my own.
And only you, have the love, the love I need.
Aw, to comfort me.

Ooo, and I'm ready for love. (Ready for love)
I'm truly ready for love. (Ready for love)
Your wonderful sweet, sweet love. (Sweet, sweet love)
Aw, and I'm ready for love.

I ready (right now.)

And for the first time I feel alive.
Have the tender love, deep down inside.
And just as soon as I see a smiling face,
I rush into your warm embrace.

Right now, I'm ready for love.
I'm truly ready for love.
Your wonderful sweet, sweet love.
Right now, I'm ready for love.
Comfort me, baby. (?)
Aw, I'm ready for love.
Wonderful sweet, sweet love.
Aw, I'm ready for love.

"I'm The Exception To The Rule"

"I'm The Exception To The Rule"


Each day you've got someone new
A new heart to break
And leave feeling blue

For you're a handsome guy
Girls just can't pass you by
But I can, my friend
I'm the exception to the rule

I know you think I'm just acting the part
Of the girl with the cold, cold heart
And it won't take long
For you to capture me
With your innocent but meaningful plea

But you won't capture me
I'm the exception to the rule

You tell me
Darling that's where you're wrong
That your love for me is oh so strong
That you will soon, very soon
Make me give in

I know that nine girls out of every ten
Wants you to be their man
But there I am again
That one in ten

So it's useless
For you to try and change me
Because I won't give in, my friend

You could fool all the girls
With your lies
About you being so sweet and kind

But oh no, not me
I'm the exception to the rule
Give it up

I'm the one you can't fool
I'm the one
I'm the exception to the rule
Give it up

I'm the one you can't fool
I'm the one
The exception to the rule
Give it up

I'm the one you can't fool
I'm the one
I'm the one you can't fool

"I've Been Good To You"

"I've Been Good To You"


Look what you've done.
You made a fool out of someone. (Out of someone)
You thought love was true and found out that you were just having fun. (Just having fun)

And oh, why do you wanna make me blue?
After all, I've been good to you. (I've been good to you)
Oh, yes I have.

And I recall the time, hmmm, you needed somebody and I made you mine.
You needed a friend so I took you in and treated you so kind.

And oh, why do you wanna make me blue?
After... After all, I've been good to you. (I've been good to you)
Oh, yes I have.

And you know I've always been around.
And I never, never, never let you down.
And now you telling me that you must go.
You know that you're hurting me so-o-o-o-o.

But there, there come a time
One day, one day, one day you gonna wake up and find
You come back to me on your bending knee and you're gonna be crying.

And oh, believe me, what I say it true, baby.
After all, I've been good to you. (I've been good to you)

Everyday... and everyway. (I've been good to you)
Whoa, you know, you know, you know, baby, I've been so good. (I've been good to you)

"I've Grown Accustomed To Her Face"

"I've Grown Accustomed To Her Face"


Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn!
I've grown accustomed to her face.
She almost makes the day begin.
I've grown accustomed to the tune that
She whistles night and noon.
Her smiles, her frowns,
Her ups, her downs
Are second nature to me now;
Like breathing out and breathing in.
I was serenely independent and content before we met;
Surely I could always be that way again-
And yet
I've grown accustomed to her look;
Accustomed to her voice;
Accustomed to her face.

"Marry Freddy." What an infantile idea. What a heartless,
Wicked, brainless thing to do. But she'll regret, she'll
Regret it. It's doomed before they even take the vow!

I can see her now, Mrs. Freddy Eynsford-Hill
In a wretched little flat above a store.
I can see her now, not a penny in the till,
And a bill collector beating at the door.
She'll try to teach the things I taught her,
And end up selling flowers instead.
Begging for her bread and water,
While her husband has his breakfast in bed.
In a year, or so, when she's prematurely grey,
And the blossom in her cheek has turned to chalk.
She'll come home, and lo, he'll have upped and run away
With a social-climbing heiress from New York.
Poor Eliza. How simply frightful!
How humiliating! How delightful!
How poignant it'll be on that inevitable night
When she hammers on my door in tears and rags.
Miserable and lonely, repentant and contrite.
Will I take her in or hurl her to the walls?
Give her kindness or the treatment she deserves?
Will I take her back or throw the baggage out?

But I'm a most forgiving man;
The sort who never could, ever would,
Take a position and staunchly never budge.
A most forgiving man.
But, I shall never take her back,
If she were even crawling on her knees.
Let her promise to atone;
Let her shiver, let her moan;
I'll slam the door and let the hell-cat freeze!

"Marry Freddy"-h a!

But I'm so used to hear her say
"Good morning" ev'ry day.
Her joys, her woes,
Her highs, her lows,
Are second nature to me now;
Like breathing out and breathing in.
I'm very grateful she's a woman
And so easy to forget;
Rather like a habit
One can always break-
And yet,
I've grown accustomed to the trace
Of something in the air;
Accustomed to her face.

"I've Never Been To Me"

"I've Never Been To Me"


Hey mister, hey mister
I just want a dime
'Cause I need a cup of coffee
and a moment of your time
I can tell your raised in hell
the way I used to do
But I wish someone had to talked to me
Like I wanna talk to you
Listen

I've been to Georgia and California
And anywhere I could run
Stole a woman in Tennessee
(Stole a women, Tennessee)
and we made love in the sun
But I ran out of places and friendly faces
(freeee)
Because I had to be free
I've been to paradise (I've been to paradise)
but I've never been to me

Thanks mister, thanks mister
But please don't walk away
(I have this neeeeed)
'Cause I have this need to tell you
Why I'm all alone today
I can see so much of me still living in your eyes
(I can see, so much of me still living in your eyes)
Won't you share a part of an old man's heart
Just once before he dies

I've been to China & Asia Minor
On any ship that would sail
Made some noise with some good old boys
(Made some noise with some good old boys)
And we wrecked southern jail
I've seen the best men crawl and some teardrops fall
There ain't nothing I didn't see
(Nothing I didn't see)
I've been to paradise (I've been to paradise)
But I've never been to me

I've even, been to marriage
Children cry for someone they couldn't find
Never knowing that I was searching
For things I left behind
I thought my heart could wait
but I learned too late
Only love can make people free

I've been to paradise (I've been to paradise)
I've been to paradise
But I've never been (never been)
Toooo meee

(Been to Georgia, California, anywhere I could run)
Oh yeah, can't you see?
(Stole a woman in Tennessee)
Listen to me
(Made love in the sun)
I don't want you to make the same mistakes I've made
(But I ran out of places, friendly faces)
Oh no, I've been to paradise
('Cause I had to be free)
I have even been there twice
(I've been to paradise)
Oooh weah, hey hey
I know you want to, you wanna be free
My son, please, please listen to me
I I I I I I
(I've been to paradise)
I wanna help you, huh
Oh no
I've never been to me
Don't walk away, oh no
(I've been to paradise)
I got more, I got more,
I got more to say hey
I've seen the best man crawl and some teardrops fall
I've been all over the world
(I've been to paradise)
Oh, no no, oh yeah
So I can let you see
So you can have just a judgement of this time
I believe I can get older
(I've been to paradise)
I can get across
I can get through
I can get next to the man
Hey I got to, I got to talk to him
I didn't have the chance myself
I wish somebody would've
I wish they could've just talk to me
(I've been to paradise)
Like I want to talk to you
Hey hey, I know you've understood...

"I've Passed This Way Before"

"I've Passed This Way Before"


[Melvin:]
Life lands a freshing blow.
And once again our heart is broken.
And as history repeats itself.
These few words are sadly spoken.

[David:]
I've passed this way before.
I've felt this pain before.
A hurt that took so long to end.
Has found my poor heart again.

As I watch love walking away.
It brings back old memories.
But a familiar pain still feels the same.
Once again, heartache has found me.

A dark cloud covered my heart.
Oh, when she told me goodbye.
Now there's nothing left but emptiness.
And the tears that filled my crying eyes.

I've passed this way before.
I've felt this pain before.
A hurt that took so long to end.
Has found my poor heart again.

No matter how strong a man is.
Without a love he walks in the dark, baby.
If love deserts him it would surely hurt him.
'Cause his weakness is his heart.

A lonely journey now stands before me.
The endless pain has started.
But this time I know the way.
Walking alone and broken hearted.

Because I've passed this way before.
And I've felt this pain before.
A hurt that took so long to end.
Has found my poor heart again.

I've passed this way before.
I've felt this pain before.
A hurt that took so long to end.
Has found my poor heart again.

"In A Lifetime"

"In A Lifetime"


What am I going to do

Since you went away
I ain't had nothing much to say, no
I been keeping to myself the reasons why you left
I walked around bewildered
Because she caught me in the wrong
There was nothing I could say
To keep her from leaving home

I'll never find another love like yours in a lifetime
In a lifetime baby
I'll never find another love like yours in a lifetime
In a lifetime

I know that I was wrong
Because you can't share love with two

I just took a chance
A chance on losing you
I lost my pride and joy because
I was careless with her heart
I didn't believe nothing could ever tear us apart

I'll never find another love like yours in a lifetime
In a lifetime baby
I'll never find another love like yours in a lifetime
In a lifetime baby

I'll never find (oh never find)
Another love (never ever find)
In a lifetime, in a lifetime
Oh I'll never find (oh never find)
Another love (never ever find)
In a lifetime, in a lifetime

It'll shake your world over
I ain't never found no loving like you do
I'll never find another love like yours in a lifetime
In a lifetime
In a lifetime baby
I'll never find another love like yours in a lifetime
In a lifetime
In a lifetime baby
