1.Can Love You


2.Day Dreaming

day dreaming

(day dreamin and im thinkin of you)
(day dreamin and im thinkin of you)
(day dreamin and im thinkin of you)
(day dreamin and im thinkin of you)
(look at my heart floating away)

He's the kind of guy that would say
Hey baby let's get away let's go some place, huh?
Well i don't care
He's the kind of guy that you give your everything
And trust your heart, share all of your love, till death do you
part

I want to be what he wants when he wants it, and whenever he
needs it
And when hes lonesome and feelin love starved
I'll be there to feed it
I'm givin' him a little bit for each day
He turns me right on when i hear him say

(hey baby let's get away, let's go somewhere far
(baby can we?)
Well i don't care
(hey baby let's get away, let's go somewhere far
(baby can we?)
Well i don't care

I wanna be what he wants when he wants it
And whenever he needs it
When it comes to being feelin' loved starved i'll be there to
feed it
Lovin him a little bit more each day
It turns me right on when i hear him say

(hey baby let's get away, let's go somewhere far)
(baby can we?) well, i don't care
(hey baby let's get away, let's go somewhere far)
(baby can we?) well, i dont care

(day dreamin and i'm thinkin of you)
(day dreamin and i'm thinkin of you) hoooo
(day dreamin and i'm thinkin of you)
(day dreamin and i'm thinkin of you)
(look at my heart, floating away)]

(day dreaming) day dreaming of you
(day dreaming)
Thinking of you

Fades-
Day....dreaming
Day....dreaming


3.Everything

You are my everything
You are my everything
You, my everything
Everything, everything, everything
(vs.1)
It's all because of you
I'm never sad and blue
You've brightened up my days
In your own special way
Whenever you're around
I'm never feeling down
You are my trusted friend
On you i can depend

(bridge)
You take me away
From the pain
And you bring me paradise
And when there were cloudy
Days you brought sunshine in my life
It never occurred
To me the first time i saw your face
I would fall so deep in love
That your love can't be replaced

Chorus:
You are my everything (you are my everything)
Love so good, so good only you can bring
You are my everything
You are everything
And everything is you

(vs.2)
My darling only you
Can make my dreams come true
And every night i pray
You'll never go away
I promise i will try
Until the day i die
To treat you like a king
Cause you are my everything

(bridge)

(chorus)

You are everything
And everything is you
(repeat 4x's)

When you're lovin me
Put your lovin arms around me
When you're lovin me
Said i feel so safe i found security
When you're lovin me
Forever i want you home with me
My everything
My every every every everything

(chorus)

You take me away


4.I'm Goin' Down

Time on my hands
Since you've been away boy
I ain't got no plans (no, no, no, no)
And the sound of the rain against my window pane
Is slowly, is slowly driving me insane, boy


I'm goin' down
I'm goin down
Cause you ain't around baby
My whole world's upside down

Sleep don't come easy
Boy please believe me
Since you've been gone
Everything's going wrong
Why'd you have to say goodbye
Look what you've done to me
I can't stop these tears form falling from my eyes

(repeat)

I don't know what to do
If i ever loose you
I'll be goin' down
I said i'll be goin' down
Ohhh
Please forgive me baby
I'm so sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry
What did i do wrong?
I said
What did i do wrong?
Please forgive my baby
And come home
Goin' down, goin' down, goin' down


5.I'm The Only Woman


I'm the only woman you need
Only one you need take me
Don't be a fool like you have me
If you wanna be happy
I'm the only woman you need
All you have to do is trust me
Never have to be sad again
Cause i'll always be your friend


I gave my heart to you
What more can i do
To show you how much i care
About you and all the little things you do
But see all i ask is that
You make me feel like i'm somebody
All day, all day, everyday, give your lovin' away
Wooaah
Baby, can't you see
If we should part
That all my days of loving you
You know they weren't that hard
That's why i'm saying i gotta be strong


I know that i was wrong
For all that carrying on
But are you gonna hold this
Against me for life
You know all i wanted to do
Is be your wife
And make you happy


If you really don't want me
I wish you'd let me know
And i will go so far away
I can not stay
If you don't want me to,
I can be a fool for you no more

You see i tried
Tried to please you
The best way i know how
And i never deceived you
If only we could trust each other
Stop thinking foolish things
I don't want another lover


6.Intro


7.Keep Your Head

(vs.1)
The day seems so very long
But i'm trying to be strong
(trying to be strong)
Well, hold on, i say
Things will soon turn my way
And then i'll have a clear view
But i gotta keep

(chorus)
Keep your head to the sky
I don't need to tell you why
Keep your head to the sky
I don't need to tell you why

(vs.2)
I sometimes get worried
And i wonder why i worry
Cause i know that i will make it through the storm
I'm tryin not to lose my cool
Because if in this world i do
The only person that's gonna miss out on everything is me
And i gotta keep

(chorus)

Oooh, ooh
Oh, ooh, oh
Keep your head up
Don't you look down for nobody
Don't you do it, don't you do it
Keep your head

(chorus)
Everyday's a struggle
But struggling to be
Is very hard, so very hard
Because i'm out here trying to do the right thing
And when i look around here's the wrong thing
Tempting me to make me disagree
About how i feel about me
But i gotta keep

(chorus)


8.Love No Limit


Baby, there's no need to tell ya
As far as i can clearly recall
My love has been here for you
So you don't have to worry at all
I'll sacrifice my time
I'll make sure you're satisfied
And it's no hard thing to the joy i bring
I wanna give you all my love


Loving you
(that's all i wanna do)
Every day
(and every hour, baby)
Don't you look no more
Love without a limit
(my love is yours)
Loving you
(that's all i wanna do)
Every day
(and every minute, every hour, baby)
Don't you look no more
Love without a limit
(my love is yours)


Baby, i'm in need of your love
And you got that touch
That i need so much
And i am about to explode
Freely, completely, everything you want i'll be
Good love down to the last drop
And i'm not gonna stop


Loving you, is all i wanna do
Loving you, is all i wanna do
Loving you, said loving you
Is all that i, all that i wanna do
Baby, baby, baby, hey

(repeat until end)


9.Mary's Joint

I love you so
I can't let go
You know it's real
The way i feel

(vs.2)
You promised
That you never would cheat or lie
Lie to me, don't lie to me babe
And you promised
That you'd trust and believe in me
Please believe in me

Unnecessary pain (pain is pain)
Now tell me who would get the pain
(you know it hurts)
If we should go astray
What would we do
What would we say

(chorus)

(during chorus)
I wanna stay
You know i'll wait

Stronger than it ever was

(chorus until fade)

(vs.1)
I'm not in love
It's just some kind of thing i'm goin thru
Goin' thru, goin' thru

But i dream about it every night, baby

I'm not in love, oh no no no
And that's what i just keep tellin' myself

And i dream about you all the time
Touchin' and kissin' me
And makin love to me
And oh...

(chorus)

God knows i'm tryin to keep you out of my head
I ain't tryin to love no one

And all i know is i can't let go
And that's the way it is

(chorus)

(my life, my life, my life, my life)


Life can be only what you make it
When you're feelin down
You should never fake it

And you'll be at peace with yourself
You won't really need no one else
Except for the man up above
Because he'll give you love

And if you don't believe in me
Just believe in 'he'

Cause he'll give you peace of mind
Yes he will
And you'll see the sunshine
For real, yes you would
And you'll get to free your mind
And things will turn out fine
Oh, i know that things will turn out fine
Yes they would, yes they would

(repeat until end)


14.Not Gon' Cry

(vs.1)
While all the time that i was loving you
You were busy loving yourself
I would stop breathing if you told me to
Now you're busy loving someone else
Eleven years out of my life
Besides the kids i have nothing to show
Wasted my years a fool of a wife
I shoulda have left your ass a long time ago

(chorus)
Well i'm not gon cry,
I'm not gon cry,
I'm not gon shed no tears
No, i'm not gon cry,
It's not the time
Cuz you're not worth my tears
Well i'm not gon cry,
I'm not gon cry,
I'm not gon shed no tears
No, i'm not gon cry,
It's not the time,
Cuz you're not worth my tears

(vs.2)
I was your lover and your secretary
Working every day of the week
Was at the job when no one else was there
Helping you get on your feet
Eleven years of sacrifice
And you can leave at the drop of a dime
Swallowed my fears, stood by your side
I shoulda left your ass a thousand times

(chorus)

I know there are no guarantees
In love you take your chances
But somehow it seems unfair to me
Look at the circumstances
Through sickness and health 'till death do us part
Those were the words that we said from our hearts
So now when you say that you're leaving me
I don't get that part

(repeat vs.2)

(chorus)


15.Real Love


We are lovers true and through and though
We made it through the storm
I really want you to realize
I really want to put you on
I've been searchin' for someone
To satisfy my every need
Won't you be my inspiration
Be the real love that i need


Real love
I'm searchin' for a real love
Someone to set my heart free
Real love
I'm searchin' for a real love


Oooh, when i met you i just knew
That you would take my heart and run
Until you told me how you felt for me
You said i'm not the one
So i slowly came to see
All of the things that you were made of
And now i hope my dreams and inspirations
Lead me to want some real love


I got to have a real love
Loves so true and oh baby
I thought your love was true
I thought you were the answer to
The questions in my mind
But it seems that i was wrong
If i stay strong maybe
I'll find my real love


So i try my best and pray to god
He'll send me someone real
To caress me and to guide me twards
A love my heart can feel
Now i know i can be faithful
I can be your all in all
I'll give you good lovin' through the summertime,
Winter, spring, and fall

(x2)

You see i'm searching for a real love
And i don't know where to go
Been around the world and high and low
And still i'll never know
How it feels to have a real love
Cause it seems it's not around
Gotta end it in this way because it
Seems he can't be found

(x2)

Real love

17.Seven Days

(vs.1)
I've been searching for someone
But never looked before my eyes
There you were to my surprise
It was so obviouse looking into your face
After playing a game of truth or dare
I wanted to stay at your place
I never thought that i
Would fall in love with you
But since the day we kissed
I knew it had to be you
I never thought we would be together
I can't believe i just made love to you
After all the things that we've been through
Now what are we gonna do
Ohh

(chorus)
Monday, a friend of mine
Tuesday, we played a game
Wednesday, you went away
Thursday, things weren't the same
On friday, you came back
I wanted to kiss you
On saturday
On sunday we made love
Now what are we gonna do

(vs.2)
As much as i, i want you
I don't wanna wreck a friend
I've already found in you
I've been there before
And i can't ignore
How two friends became one
But walked away with none
I cannot risk a friend
But the love is so good
I gotta make a choice
I would if i could
I never thought we would be together
How can i address you
'hey lover?', 'hi friend!'
'how ya doin'?', 'where ya been?'
I gotta make a choice

(chorus)

(guitar plays: george benson)

On sunday we made sweet sweet love
Tuesday we played a game
But sunday we made love
Now what are we gonna do?
A friend of mine


18.Share My World

(vs.1)
Boy if you stay i'll always make sure
That you look to see a brighter day
Don't let our lovin' slip away
The things you do, they always make me feel
Like there's no one else but you
Promise you'll be true
Always

(chorus)
Share my world
Don't you leave
Promise i'll be here
Whenever you need me near
Share my world
Don't you leave
Promise i'll be here
So baby don't you have no fear

(vs.2)
To be with you would be like paradise
Everything would be so nice (so nice), so right (so right)
The joy you bring to me makes me feel so
Good inside
It's so right (so right), so high
Just thinkin about you
And my feelings i just can't hide

(chorus)

I don't know what i would do
(would do)
Without you (you)
When i'm down and out
I think about
The good love you give to me
Oh, the love you give to me
I'm so happy
So share, share my world

(chorus)

Ooh, la la la
Won't you share my world
Won't you share my world
(repeat until fade)

Slow down baby

Slow down
Don't rush baby

Baby all we got to do is take our time
And get it, get it right in the groove

Now there's no need for us to be
In a rush so slow it down
Slow it down and get it right

Now baby it's understood
When the lovin' is feeling good
So let's just take our time and make it last


Now i've got a feelin' baby
That tonight could be the night
Don't rush it
Don't fight it

If you got a notion
Baby please let it be slow motion

When the lovin' is feelin good
So let's just take our time and make it last
