Lionel Richie Composer Series Lyrics
1.Easy

know it sounds funny
But i just can't stand the pain
Girl i'm leaving you tomorrow
Seems to me girl
You know i've done all i can
You see i begged, stole
And i borrowed
Ooh, that's why i'm easy
I'm easy like sunday morning
That's why i'm easy
I'm easy like sunday morning
Why in the world
Would anyboddy put chains on me?
I've paid my dues to make it
Everbody wants me to be
What they want me to be
I'm not happy when i try to fake it!
No!
Ooh,that's why i'm easy
I'm easy like sunday morning
That's why i'm easy
I'm easy like sunday morning
I wanna be high, so high
I wanna be free to know
The things i do are right
I wanna be free
Just me, babe!
That's why i'm easy
I'm easy like sunday morning
That's why i'm easy
I'm easy like sunday morning
Because i'm easy
Easy like sunday morning
Because i'm easy
Easy like sunday morning


2.Endless Love

(duet with diana ross)

My love,
There's only you in my life
The only thing that's bright

My first love,
You're every breath that i take
You're every step i make

And i
(i-i-i-i-i)
I want to share
All my love with you
No one else will do...

And your eyes
Your eyes, your eyes
They tell me how much you care
Ooh yes, you will always be
My endless love

Two hearts,
Two hearts that beat as one
Our lives have just begun

Forever
(ohhhhhh)
I'll hold you close in my arms
I can't resist your charms

And love
Oh, love
I'll be a fool
For you,
I'm sure
You know i don't mind
Oh, you know i don't mind

'cause you,
You mean the world to me
Oh
I know
I know
I've found in you
My endless love

Oooh-woow
Boom, boom
Boom, boom, boom, boom, booom
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom

Oooh, and love
Oh, love
I'll be that fool
For you,
I'm sure
You know i don't mind
Oh you know-
I don't mind

And, yes
You'll be the only one
'cause no one can deny
This love i have inside
And i'll give it all to you
My love
My love, my love
My endless love


3.Girl, I Think The World About You


4.Just To Be Close To You

just to be close to you, girl
Just for a moment, well,
Just for an hour
Just to be close to you girl

I was a lonely man
A man with no direction
With no purpose
With no one to love
And no one to love me, for me

Oh girl then you came into my life
You made my jagged edges smoothe
You made my direction so clear
And you oh women you became my purpose
My reason for living girl you see

You're my heart, you're my soul
You're my strong inspiration baby
That's why i'm standing here
Singing and opening my arms to you
I wanna say child, why dont you

Take my hand,
Oh we'll live and love forever
Take my hand,
Ooh we'll be alone you and me
Take my hand
Girl we'll live our lives together
Yeah together

Just to be close to you, girl
Just for the moment baby,
Well just for an hour
Just to be close to you, girl
I need you baby

To make love, to be loved by you baby
To have your warm body close to mine
To whisper words that make you feel like a woman
Girl i know our love will stand the test of time

Just to be close to you girl
For the moment baby (for the moment baby, for the moment baby)
For the sugar sugar yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Just to be close to you girl
Just for the moment (fade)


5.Lucy


6.Oh No

I want you to want me
I'm goin' crazy knowin' he will be your lover tonight
And when he come i'll let you go
I'll just pretend that you walked out the door

Oh no ...
I can't sleep
Oh no ...
I'm goin' crazy with love, over you

I need you to need me
I wanna hold ya but you're holdin' someone else in
Your arms
When i close my eyes, i see your face
I'm just not sure how much my heart can break

Oh no ...
I can't think
Oh no ...
I'm goin' crazy with love over you

Oh honey ....
Oh sugar ....

Oh no .. i can't sleep anymore baby
Oh no .. i can't think anymore baby
Oh no .. i'm goin' crazy with love over you


7.Sail On

Sail on, down the line
About half a mile or so
And i don't really wanna know ah
Where you're going
Maybe once or twice you see
Time after time i tried
Hold on to what we got
But now you're going
And i don't mind
About the things you're gonna say
Lord, i gave all my money and my time
I know it's a shame
But i'm giving you back your name
Guess i'll be on my way
I won't be back to stay
I guess i'll move along
I'm looking for a good time
Sail on down the line
Ain't it funny how the time can go
All my friends say they told me so
But it doesn't matter
It was plain to see
That a small town boy like me
Just i wasn't your cup of tea
I was wishful thinking
I gave you my heart
And i tried ot make you happy
And you gave me nothing in return
You know it ain't so hard to say
Would you please just go away
I've thrown away the blues
I'm tired of being used
I want everyone to know
I'm looking for a good time
Good time
Sail on honey
Good times never felt so good
Sail on honey
Good times never felt so good
Sail on sugar
Good times never felt so good
Sail on


8.Say Yeah


9.Still

the commodores
(lionel richie)

Lady, morning's just a moment away
And i'm without you once again
You laughed at me
You said you never needed me
I wonder if you need me now

(chorus:)

So many dreams that flew away
So many words we didn't say
Two people lost in a storm
Where did we go?
Where'd we go?

We lost what we both had found
You know we let each other down
But then most of all
I do love you
Still!

(same as chorus)

We played the games that people play
We made our mistakes along the way
Somehow i know deep in my heart
You needed me
'cause i needed you so desperatly!
We were too blind to see
But then most of all
I do love you
Still!


10.Sweet Love


11.Three Times A Lady

Thanks for the times
That you've given me
The memories are all in my mind
And now that we've come
To the end of our rainbow
There's something
I must say out loud
You're once, twice
Three times a lady
Yes you're once twice
Three times a lady

And i love you
When we are together
The moments i cherish
With every beat of my heart
To touch you to hold you
To feel you to need you
There's nothing to keep us apart
You're once twice
Three times a lady
And i love you
I love you
