1.Bad Case Of The Blues

(kenneth gamble / roland chambers)

(such a bad case of the blues)

Ooh, hoo, hoo, hoo
I thought that you would be
A little different when it came to lovin' me
Now, i see i was living a dream
'cause all i do is cry
And kiss your love goodbye

Got a bad case of the blues
It's what i get from lovin' you
Such a bad case of the blues
It's what i get from lovin' you-oo-oo-oo

I thought that i would never see
How it feels to live a life of misery
I don't have anything to look forward to
But miss the love i've lost
And pay the loser's cost

Got a bad case of the blues
It's what i get from lovin' you
Such a bad case of the blues
It's what i get from lovin' you-oo-oo-oo

Now all i do is cry
And kiss your love goodbye, hey

Got a bad case of the blues
It's what i get from lovin' you, babe

It's what i get from lovin' you

Got a bad case of the blues
It's what i get from lovin' you

A bad case of the blues

2.Brand New Me

(gamble / huff / butler)

This is my same old coat
And my same old shoes
I was the same old me
With the same old blues
Then you touched my life
Just by holding my hand
Now i look in the mirror
And see a brand new girl

I got a brand new walk
A brand new smile
Since i met you baby
I got a brand new style

Just because of you, boy
Just because of you
Just because of you, boy
Just because of you

I got the same old friends
They got the same old sins
I tell the same old jokes
Give the same old grins
But now the jokes sound new
And the laughter does too
Everyday of my life
As fresh as morning dew

Just because of you, boy
Just because of you
Just because of you, boy
Just because of you
Just because of you, boy
Just because of you

I go to the same old places
See the same old faces
Look at the same old skies
See them all with brand new eyes
Ooh, ooh


3.Haunted

(jeff barry / bobby bloom)

Ooh, hoo
I can't eat right
I can't sleep nights
Oh, honey look at what you've done to me
Life is nowhere
And it's no fair
'cause you've got me by the memory

Oh, now i feel you near me
And see your face
In my dreams
Every hour all night through
Oh, i'm haunted
Yes i'm haunted, haunted by you

There ain't no doubt
I can't get out
Of this trouble that you've got me in
If i hurt you
Didn't mean to
Oh, and i'm sorry
Ain't the word i've been
And if you don't come back to me pretty soon
I don't know what i'm gonna do

'cause i'm haunted
Yes i'm haunted, haunted by you, woah, oh

Oh, i just can't forget you
'cause you haunt me everywhere i go
Oh i'm begging you
Don't say no

And if you don't come back to me pretty soon
I don't know what i'm gonna do

5.I Can't Give Back The Love I Feel For You

(ashford / simpson / holland)

Here's a tear
For a souvenir
And a dream
Torn at the seams
Here's a promise that you made to me of love
It's more than i'll ever see
And then you're free to go

But i can't give back the love i feel for you
Gonna be stuck with it no matter what i do
Take these eyes that once could see
Now reflections of my misery
And happiness i thought would last
Is now becoming just a thing of the past

But i can't give back the love
That's a part of me
If you want just a little bit
You'll have to take all of me

Simply adore
'til the world don't go round no more

Here's the ring
That didn't mean a thing
And letters you wrote
That gave my young heart hope
Take the pillow where my dreams were made
And the mind where the thought of you stayed
But, baby, you should know

That i can't give back the love i feel for you
Gonna be stuck with it no matter what i do
Take these arms that held you close
And follow up the one you need the most
Take these hands no good to me
That used to touch you so tenderly

But i can't give back the love
That's a part of me
If you want just a little bit
You'll have to take all of me

No, i can't give back the love that i feel for you, yeah
Gonna be stuck with it no matter, no matter what i do
No, i can't give back the love that's a part of me, yeah
Gonna be stuck with it no matter, no matter what i, what i do
Gonna get stuck
Gonna get stuck


6.I Want To Be A Free Girl

(bell / creed / gamble / huff)

I was there when dreams came true
Stuck around when they fell through
Life's too short to play with your emotions
I gotta travel, i gotta travel

Said i wanna see the world
I wanna be a free girl
Said i wanna see the world
I gotta be a free girl, mmm

The silly games you played weren't new
Lost them all
But they beat you, too
There's no time for fooling with children
I gotta travel, i gotta travel

Said i wanna see the world
I gotta be a free girl
Yes, i wanna see the world
I gotta be a free girl, oh

Oh, life's too short to play with your emotions
I gotta travel, i gotta travel
Said i wanna see the world
I gotta be a free girl
Yes i wanna see the world
I gotta be a free girl
Yes i wanna see the world
I gotta be a free girl
Said i wanna see the world
Yeah, gotta be a free girl


7.I'll Be Faithful

(ned albright / mike soles / steve soles)

I would be your water when your thirsty mouth was dry
I would be your sunshine when clouds are in the sky
I would stand that close beside you
And be your only friend
And i have promised love forever
There will be no end

Ooh, hoo, i'll be faithful
Ooh, hoo, i'll be true, too
Ooh, hoo, i'll be faithful, yes i will now
Ooh, hoo, oh my, true to you

Now i would be your music if you would like a song
I would sleep beside you when the winter's cold and long
I would be the pole to guide you, never would i bend
And i have promised love forever
There will be no end

Ooh, hoo, i'll be faithful, oh, yeah
Ooh, hoo, i'll be true too, mmm
Ooh, hoo, i'll be faithful, oh, yeah
Ooh, hoo, oh my, true to you, ooh, hoo

I have promised love forever
There will be no end

Ooh, hoo, i'll be faithful, oh, yeah
Ooh, hoo, i'll be true, too
Ooh, hoo, i'll be faithful, yes i will
Ooh, hoo, oh my, true to you


8.Joe

(gamble / harris / felder)

(hey, does anybody know)
(how i can get in touch with joe?)

If i have to catch a subway
Or catch a plane on a runway
I've got to find out some way
Where did he go?

Yesterday was bright and sunny
All his jokes were oh-so funny
Now he's gone and left me
Honey, where did you go?
I've been searchin' here and there
Lookin' for you everywhere
'cause your love i wanna share

Hey, does anybody know
How i can get in touch with joe?

I will try to wait forever
It could take till the twelfth of never
How i pray we'd be together
Where did he go?

My heart was pure
How could you bruise it?
Gave him mine
He just used it
My mind was clear
And he confused it
Where did he go?
I've been searchin' here and there
Lookin' for you everywhere
'cause your love i wanna share

Hey does anybody know
How i can get in touch with joe?, ooh
Does anybody know
How i can get in touch with joe?
I can get in touch with joe?, ooh joey, joey
Somebody tell me
Where did he go?, joe
Come back baby, joe, oh, oh, joey, joey, joey


9.Let Me Get In Your Way

(kenneth gamble / roland chambers)

(please)
(let me get in your way)
Call me sad and blue
All i need is your good lovin'
Just to see me through
Call me lonely, too
You should never, ever make me
Need you like i do
Can't you see i'm not naggin', baby?
This heart of mine is just saggin', baby

Please
Let me get in your way
Just have somethin' to say to me
Please
Let me get in your way
Just have somethin' you can say to me

I'm not asking you
To move a mountain, swim a river
Or walk on the moon
Call me beggin', too
For a little of the love i need
So much from you
Can't you see i'm not naggin', baby?
This heart of mine is just saggin', baby

Please
Let me get in your way
Just have somethin' you can say to me
Oh, please

10.Let's Get Together Soon

(kenneth gamble / leon huff)

When i'm away from you, boy
All i seem to do is cry
Then, when i see you, boy
My, how the time does fly
I don't know if you need and love me
The way i love and need you
I just hope that we can get together soon, real soon

When i think about you, boy
Chills run up and down my spine
If my wish'd come true, boy
I'd be with you all the time
Wrong or right, day and night i miss you
And all my heart seems to do
Is just hope that we can get together soon, real soon

Wrong or right, day and night i miss you
And all my heart seems to do
Is just hope that we can get together soon
Oh, hope that we can get together soon
Oh, just hope that we, we can get together, baby
Hope that we can get together soon
I just hope that we, we can get together, baby
Hope that we


11.Let's Talk It Over

(kenneth gamble / leon huff)

(talk it over)
(talk it over)
You seem to think that everything is more important than me,
baby
As if to think my world would be lonely without you on the scene
Oh, it's about time i moved up the ladder
Got to be number one or nothin' at all
Let's sit down, talk it over
Take that finger from your face
Look at me for goodness sake
Talk it over, hey, talk about it

I do everything i can to make life easy for you, baby
But you take me for granted
What is our love, our love comin' to?, oh
It's about time for us to have a talk
And maybe i'm not satisfyin' you boy
You gotta tell me 'cause this ain't right
Why ain't you oh-be holding me tight?

Let's sit down, talk it over
Take that finger from your face
Look at me for goodness sake
Talk it over, talk about it, baby

Ooh, talk about it, baby

Let's talk it over, yeah
Hey, talk it over
Hey, baby come on over here
Talk it over with me, baby, yeah
Hey, talk it over, baby

12.Lost

(kenneth gamble / leon huff / jerry butler)

I was a sad and lonely girl
All alone in this big world, baby, (hey, baby) baby
Lost in a state of misery
Not a soul to comfort me, baby (hey, baby)

I couldn't find no help
Didn't know what to do with myself
Oh, i was standing in confusion
So badly disillusioned
When you wrapped your arms around me
I knew love had found me

I was lost, so long
But found in the nick of time
You know i was lost, so long
But found in the nick of time
Oh, i was lost

I thank the lord that you
Are the one who came to my rescue, baby, (hey, baby)
Thanks for me and this heart of mine
You came just in time, baby, baby (hey, baby)

I couldn't find my way, ooh
Don't you hear what i say?, yeah
Well i was standing in confusion
So badly disillusioned
When you wrapped your arms around me
I knew love had found me

I was lost, so long
But found in the nick of time
You know i was lost (so lost), yeah
But found in the nick of time
Well, i was out here in desperation
No means of communication
Just looking for a sign
Then you threw out your lifeline

Lost, so long
But found in the nick of time
You know i was lost (so lost), yes i was
But found in the nick of time
Well, i was out here in desperation
No means of communication
Just looking for a sign
Then you threw out your lifeline
Oh, so lost, so long
But found in the nick of time
You know i was lost (so lost), yeah
But found in the nick of time
Well, i was out here in desperation


13.Never Love Again

(gamble / huff / chambers)

Dear lord above
I swear that i
I will never love again
Unless i'm lovin' him
Oh, no, oh, oh, oh

He came to me
With a twinkle in his eye
And i fell for him
Yes, i fell for him
Took me by surprise
Unaware was i
Well i fell for him
Oh, i fell for him

If i ever needed help
I need it now
Ain't none of my so-called friends
Got the power
To make my tears go 'way
So on my knees i pray
That you bring his love my way

Dear lord above
I swear that i'll
Never, never love again
Oh, no-ho

I stare down at the eyes
And wipe the tears i cried
When i fell for him
Yes, i fell him
Gettin' next to me
Was all he wanted to see
Well goody-good for him
Goody-good for him

When my heart's in trouble
And my mind's in doubt
You're the only one who could ever work it out
And bring the sun back in my day
So on my knees i pray
That you send his love my way

Dear lord above
I swear that i
I will never love again
Unless i'm loving him
No i'll never, never, never, never, never, never, never gonna
love again

14.Nothing Is Forever

(jeff barry / bobby bloom)

Nothing is forever
Always is a dream
Life goes by so fast
You try to make it last
The future turns to past
And summer turns to snow
Ohhh....ohhh

Nothing is forever
I will understand
If you want me for tonight
Just come and hold me tight
And with the morning light
If summer turns to snow
You can go
Ohhh....ohhh....

Now here i am wanting you
Yes here i am wanting to

For a lifetime or a day
Or just the month of may
Well, it's easier to stay
Knowing you can go
Ohhh....ohhh....

And nothing is forever
Nothing is forever


15.Silly, Silly Fool

(kenneth gamble / leon huff)

Such a silly, silly, silly, silly fool am i
Oh, i, just a silly, silly, silly, silly fool am i

Hey, i should have never fallen
Back in love with you
Knowin' how you get a pleasure
Breaking my poor heart in two
You made it sound so convincin'
When you said
'i'm your woman, you're my man'
Now i really need you
And i sit here a loser again

I guess i'm just a silly, silly, silly, silly fool am i, oh i
I'm such a silly, silly, silly, silly, fool am i, mmm

I should have never trusted
In my heart to lead the way
Now my mind is all busted
That's a fool's price to pay

You made it sound so convincin'
When you said you'd never, never go away
I should have never listened
To anything you had to say

I'm such a silly, silly, silly, silly, silly, silly fool am i,
yes i am
I'm such a silly, silly, silly, silly fool am i, oh
Such a silly, silly, dilly, silly, dilly fool am i, oh yeah

Silly, dilly


16.Someone Who Cares

(alex harvey)

Someone who cares
Someone who dares to love you
Someone who thinks enough of you
To always be willing to share, mmmm

Someone who gives
Someone who lives inside you
Someone who'll be strong beside you
Through all the days that you live, mmmm

I've made up my mind that you're gonna love me
I've made in my heart a soft place for you
I've made up my mind that you're gonna love me
I've made in my heart a soft place for you

Oh, someone who dreams
Of being in your life tomorrow
And sharing your joys and your sorrow
Helping you see what it means
To be loved, mmmm


17.The Star Of My Show

(kenneth gamble / leon huff)

Used to be a time
When i wasn't doin' so good
But that was because i never understood
Just how much in love with me you were
But you paid your dues
Now i'm devoted to you

You're the star of my show
Always want you to do an encore
You're the star of my show, ooh, baby, baby

Used to be a time
When i wouldn't give reaction
Now, baby you're the centre of attraction
See your name shinin' brighter than the sun

Always want you to do encore
You're the star of my show, ooh, hoo, baby, baby, baby, baby

18.What Do You Do When Love Dies

(mary unobsky / donna weiss)

I wake up in the morning crying
I reach out for you, yeah
I make coffee for one now
Instead of for two
My days are so empty baby
There's nothing for me to do
And the night lost its meaning
The night i lost you
Help me baby

What do you when love dies?
Somebody help me, i'm losing my mind
What do you when love dies?
Somebody help me, i'm losing my mind

I run for the 1:10 uptown
The show starts at two
I'm surrounded by strangers
But i'm haunted by you
My life is without direction
Lost without you my love
The past is my shadow
My shadow is you
I ain't got nowhere to go

What do you do when love dies?
Somebody help me, i'm losing my mind
What do you do when love dies on you?
Somebody help me, i'm losing my mind, yes i am, yeah

Yeah, what do you do when love dies on you?
Somebody help me, i'm losing my mind, yeah, yeah
Somebody help me, i'm losing my mind
The past is my shadow

19.What Good Is I Love You

(ellie greenwich / mike rashkow)

You say you love me
More than you could ever love her, ah, ha, ha
But circumstance has made you stay by her side
You'll never leave her
God knows you've tried
But i understand
A man ain't nothing but a man

Oh, why do i need you when we can't be together?
What good is 'i want you', when you're passing me by?
Oh, i can't keep on saying 'i love you' forever
What good is 'i love you', when you're saying goodbye?, ahh,
baby, yeah

No-one has ever made me so very happy
When we're together, baby
Everything is all right
Here on my pillow
Alone at night
Can't you see my heart keeps on crying?
Something's telling me you're lying

Why do i need you when we can't be together?
What good is 'i want you', when you're passing me by?
Oh, i can't keep on saying 'i love you' forever
What good is 'i love you', when you're saying goodbye?, yeah,
mmm, why?
Said i'm thinking about you now baby, why, ooh, why should i?

What good is 'i need you' when we can't be together?
What good is 'i want you', when you're passing me by?
Oh, i can't keep on saying 'i love you' forever
What good is 'i love you', when you're saying goodbye?
Baby, baby i love you forever
What good is 'i love you' when you're saying goodbye?
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
You're saying goodbye
