Nuff Said

Nina Simone Nuff Said Lyrics
1.Ain't Got No/i Got Life

(1968) gerome ragni, james rado, gal mcdermot

Ain't got no home, ain't got no shoes
Ain't got no money, ain't got no class
Ain't got no friends, ain't got no schoolin'
Ain't got no wear, ain't got no job
Ain't got no man

Ain't got no father, ain't got no mother
Ain't got no children, ain't got no
Ain't got no earth, ain't got no water
Ain't got no ticket, ain't got no token
Ain't got no love

I got my hair, i got my head
I got my brains, i got my ears
I got my eyes, i got my nose
I got my mouth, i got my smile

I got my tongue, i got my chin
I got my neck, i got my tits
I got my heart, i got my soul
I got my back, i got my sex

I got my arms, i got my hands
I got my fingers, got my legs
I got my feet, i got my toes
I got my liver, got my blood

Got life , i got my life


2.Backlash Blues

Langston hughes, nina simone

Mr. backlash, mr. backlash
Just who do think i am
You raise my taxes, freeze my wages
And send my son to vietnam

You give me second class houses
And second class schools
Do you think that alla colored folks
Are just second class fools
Mr. backlash, i'm gonna leave you
With the backlash blues

When i try to find a job
To earn a little cash
All you got to offer
Is your mean old white backlash
But the world is big
Big and bright and round
And it's full of folks like me
Who are black, yellow, beige and brown
Mr. backlash, i'm gonna leave you
With the backlash blues

Mr. backlash, mr. backlash
Just what do you think i got to lose
I'm gonna leave you
With the backlash blues
You're the one will have the blues
Not me, just wait and see


3.Do What You Gotta Do

Jimmy webb

Do what you gotta do
Come on back see me when you can
Man i can understand how it might be
Kinda hard to love a girl like me
I don't blame you much for wanting to be free
I just wanted you to know
I've loved you better that your own kin did
From the very start it's my own fault
What happens to my heart
You see i've always known you'd go

So you just do what you gotta do
My wild sweet love
Though it may mean that i'll never kiss
Those sweet lips again
Pay that no mind
Find that dappled dream of yours
Come on back and see me when you can

Now i know it'll make you feel sad
And make you feel so bad
They say you don't treat me me like you should
They got ways to make you feels no good
I guess they got no way to know
I've had my eyes wide open from the start
And man you never lied to me
The part of you that they'll never see
Is the part you've shown to me

So you just do what you gotta do
My wild sweet love
Though it may mean that i'll never kiss
Those sweet lips again
Pay that no mind
Find that dappled dream of yours
Come on back and see me when you can


4.Gin House Blues

Fletcher henderson, henry troy

Stay away from me cos i'm in my sin
Stay away from me everybody cos i'm in my sin
If this joint is raided somebody give my gin
Don't try me nobody cos you will never win
Mm yeah don't try me nobody cos you will never win
I'll fight the army and navy somebody gives me my gin

When i'm feeling high i don't have nothing to do
Oh when i'm feeling high i don't have nothing to do
Just fill me full of good liquor i'll sure be nice to you
Any bootlegger show him a pal of mine any old time
Any bootlegger show him a pal of mine
Cos a good bottle of gin will get it everytime

Lord i don't want no clothes
I don't even want no bed to lay my head
I don't want no clothes
I don't event want no bed to lay my head
I don't want no pork chops and green
Just give me gin instead

Oh oh stay away from me cos i'm in my sin
Oh oh stay away from me yeah everybody cos i'm in my sin
If this joint is raided somebody give me my gin
Somebody give me my gin


5.I Loves You Porgy

(1935) ira gershwin, dubose heyward, george gershwin

I loves you, porgy,
Don't let him take me
Don't let him handle me
And drive me mad
If you can keep me
I wanna stay here with you forever
And i'll be glad

Yes i loves you, porgy,
Don't let him take me
Don't let him handle me
With his hot hands
If you can keep me
I wants to stay here with you forever
I've got my man

I loves you, porgy,
Don't let him take me
Don't let him handle me
And drive me mad
If you can keep me
I wanna stay here with you forever
I've got my man

Someday i know he's coming to call me
He's going to handle me and hold me
So, it' going to be like dying, porgy
When he calls me
But when he comes i know i'll have to go

I loves you, porgy,
Don't let him take me
Honey, don't let him handle me
And drive me mad
If you can keep me
I wanna stay here with you forever
I've got my man


6.In The Morning

(1966) barry gibb

In the morning when the moon is at it's rest,
You will see me at the time i love the best
Watching rainbows play on sunlight;
Pools of water iced from cold night,in the morning.
'tis the morning of my life.

In the daytime i will meet you as before.
You will find me waiting by the ocean floor,
Building castles in the shifting sands
In a world that no one understands,
In the morning.
'tis the morning of my life,

In the morning of my life the
Minutes take so long to drift away
Please be patient with your life
It's only morning and you're still to live your day

In the ev'ning i will fly you to the moon
To the top right hand corner of
The ceiling in my room
Where w'll stay until the sun shines
Another day to swing on clothe's lines
May i be yawning
It is the morning of my life
It is the morning of my life
In the morning
In the morning
In the morning


7.Peace Of Mind


8.Please Read Me

(1967) robin gibb, barry gibb

Many years ago i was a simple man
A simple man, no worries me;
I never lied
Please read me.

Not much conversation ever came from me,
I never saw reality;
I never tried.
Please read me.

Ah....

Maybe i've been lying on your couch too long
I'll stay if you can see me through, explain why
Please read me. please read me. please read me.


9.Sunday In Savannah


10.Take My Hand Precious Lord

precious lord, take my hand
Lead me on, let me stand
I'm tired, i'm weak, i'm lone
Through the storm, through the night
Lead me on to the light
Take my hand precious lord, lead me home

When my way grows drear precious lord linger near
When my light is almost gone
Hear my cry, hear my call
Hold my hand lest i fall
Take my hand precious lord, lead me home

When the darkness appears and the night draws near
And the day is past and gone
At the river i stand
Guide my feet, hold my hand
Take my hand precious lord, lead me home

Precious lord, take my hand
Lead me on, let me stand
I'm tired, i'm weak, i'm lone
Through the storm, through the night
Lead me on to the light
Take my hand precious lord, lead me home
