1.Baby, This Love I Have
(m. riperton - l.ware - r. rudolph)
Things i say and do may not come clear through
My words may not convey just what i'm feelin'
But i hope you'll recognize what's right before your eyes
Oh, your heart should realize
From where i'm dealin'
Baby i'm tryin' to show you that i love you
Baby i'm tryin' to show you that i care
Baby i'm tryin' to tell you that i, i need you
Baby, i'm tryin' to tell you that i care
Oh, you may not understand just why i show my hand
The method to my madness you inspire
Perception is the key
It's evident you see
What this is all about
Is love entire
And all i know is true
Is this love i have for you
And all i know is true
Is this love i have for you
2.Feelin' Your Feelin's Right
(m. riperton- l.ware - r. rudolph)
Sometimes when i'm really not so happy
It seems no matter what i do
Or no matter how hard i try
I really can't get high
I think about the lessons life has given me
Now i know exactly what to do
I'm gonna push it back and turn around the feelin'
And that is when the sun comes shinin' through
Yes, it's true that it's all up to you
It's feelin' that your feelin' right
It's feelin' that your feelin's right
It's feelin' that your feelin' right
It's feelin' that your feelin's right
All at once i found the perfect feelin'
I can't believe what seemed so hard comes so easily
It came all over me
Now i've got to find a way to show you
Cause it's too good to lock inside myself
So just push it back and turn around the feelin'
Its best when you can share with someone else
Yes, it's true, yes, it's true
That it's all up to you
3.When It Comes Down To It
(m. riperton r. rudolph)
When it comes down to it and it's time i get it on
Ain't no way to do it
You can find yourself alone
All you high falutin' ain't worth nothin' when you're old
When it comes down to it
Love will get you more than gold
When it comes down to it
When it comes down to it
When it comes down to it
There'll be dancin' in the night
Cause now the fools who blew it will be hidin' from the light
So mama tell your children not to feel so all alone
Cause when it comes down to it
He'll be there to take us home
We can get back to the garden
If we keep our karma high, yeah
We were meant to love each other
Like the birds wer meant to fly
When it comes down to it
There'll be dancin' in the night
Cause now the fools who blew it will be hidin' from the light
So mama tell your children not to feel so all alone
Cause when it comes down to it
He'll be there to take us home
When it comes down to it
4.Minnie's Lament
(m. riperton r. rudolph)
Oooh....
You cover me with pain
And leave me
Leave me for tomorrow
Embroider me with sorrow
Without a doubt without a tear
To beg or borrow
You cover me with pain and go
Oooh...
5.Love And It's Glory
(m. riperton e. brown r. rudolph)
I'll tell you a story about love and its glory
Of how when you're true to your heart you'll be free
Picture a tropical paradise
Folks just like you and me
A young girl called maya
Was loved by aliya
A young man who came from a poor family
As they grew older
Aliya would hold her
Together they dreamed of the day they'd marry
It'sa lonely world my children
You've got to do the best you can
If you've found a chance to love
You'd better grab it any way you can
Young maya's father
Decided his daughter
Should marry a man with lots of money
She begged and she pleaded
Aliya she needed
Now maya's crying on her wedding day
It's a lonely world my children
You've got to do the best you can
If you've found a chance to love
You'd better grab it any way you can
Picture a tropical paradise
Folks just like you and me
Down come aliya
And scooped up the bride from the place
Where she stands at the ceremony
The minister backed up
The father, he cracked up
The groom, him fell down to the ground on his knees
6.Adventures In Paradise
(m. riperton j. sample r. rudolph)
I believe any dream that i want to
That ain't the only way of keeping hope alive
And if by chance i give birth to my visions
Life is so fantastic it will come as no surprise
'cause everyday is adventures in paradise
Woven well through the fabrics of time
I believe i am free, let it free me
That ain't the only way of getting past the jive
And every day something magical passes
Sunshine on my body, rainbows bloomin' in the sky
'cause everyday is adventures in paradise
It is real if it's only in your mind
In your mind
It is real if it's only in your mind
In your mind
Step this way for another adventure in p a r a d i s e
7.Inside My Love
(m. riperton - l. ware - r. rudolph)
Two people, just meeting
Barely touching each other
Two spirits greeting
Trying to carry it further
You are one and i am another
We should be one inside each other
You can see inside me
Will you come inside me？
Do you wanna ride inside my love？
You can see inside me
Will you come inside me？
Do you wanna ride inside my love？
Two strangers, not strangers
Only lacking the knowing
So willing, feeling, infinite growing
While we're here the whole world is turning
We should be one
Fulfilling our yearning
You can see inside me
Will you come inside me？
Do you wanna ride inside my love？
You can see inside me
Will you come inside me？
Do you wanna ride inside my love？
8.Alone In Brewster Bay
(m. riperton r. rudolph)
＜
Watch the fire die
See the snowflakes fly
Hear the geese out honking' on the bay
Feel the fire's flame
Do they sigh your name
Think of you, my love, so far away
Once i never moved without you
I held on to you all the time
But now that i'm three days without you
I feel a lot like cryin'
I feel like cryin'
I feel like cryin
'i feel like cryin'
Then i close my eyes
And i search the skies
For a sign of you thinking of me
Then i feel you here
You are oh so near
In my mind i find you next to me
Cause once i never moved without you
I held on to you all the time
But now that i'm three days without you
I feel a lot like cryin'
I feel like cryin'
I feel like cryin
'i feel like cryin'
Watch the fire die
See the snowflakes fly
Hear the geese out honking' on the bay
Thinking of you, my love, alone in brewste
9.Simple Things
(m. riperton - r. rudolph)
If simon says be glad today
I surely do what simon say
And if youl like to see me smile
Then you're in luck cause that's my style
My pretty bird up in the tree
I hear the song you sing for me
The sky's fantastic blue or grey
And here we are alive today
Hey...
The simple things
The lovely simple things
The sunset and the dawn
The simple things
The lovely simple things
I could go on and on and on
For the simple pleasures
Are worth more than treasures
That your paper money ever bring
This song is old, this song is new
This song is me, this song is you
I like to play out in the rain
I like the sun to shine again
And again and again
Each day so many things to see
And i'm so glad i am me
And you, my friends, are pretty too
And i'm so glad that you are you
10.Don't Let Anyone Bring You Down
(m. riperton r. rudolph)
I'm not gonna sing the blues
Cause i don't wanna cry
I only wanna be as free as the skies
Don't let anyone bring you down
Say what you wanna say
But i've got it right
And i aim to feel this good the rest of my life
Can't let anyone bring me down
Hey look at me
I want everyone to see
How happy our lives could be
How happy we could be
That's what i'm doin' here
Singin' my song
I just wanna make you see what you knew all along
Don't let anyone bring you down
I hope i made you feel good
I hope i made you feel good
I hope i made you feel real good
I hope i made you feel good
