I can't deny tthis feeling inside
That makes me love you
I'm under a spell, but how can I tell
If it's really true love

Love don't walk out the door
Are you for real with the love that you feel
Or will it change the time, oh, no

Love don't you go through no changes on me
No, no, no

Just how you feel about me

To be hurt like before
Are you for real with the love that you feel
Or will it change the time, oh, no

Love don't you go through no changes on me
No, no, no
Love don't you go through no changes on me
No, no, no

5.He's The Greatest Dancer(LP Version)

Lyricist:Bernard EdwardsNile Rodgers

Mixing:Bernard EdwardsNile Rodgers

Oh, what, wow
He's the greatest dancer
Oh, what, wow
That I've ever seen
Oh, what, wow
He's the greatest dancer
Oh, what, wow

One night in a disco on the outskirts of Frisco
I was cruisin' with my favorite gang
The place was so borin' filled with out-of-towners tourin'
I knew that it wasn't my thing

I really wasn't carin', but I felt my eyes starin'
At a guy who stuck out in the crowd
He had the kind of body that would shame Adonis
And a face that would make any man proud

Oh, what, wow
He's the greatest dancer
Oh, what, wow
That I've ever seen(Ooh)
Oh, what, wow
He's the greatest dancer
Oh, what, wow

The champion of dance, his moves would put you in a trance
And he never leaves the disco alone
Arrogance but not conceit, as a man he's complete
My creme d' la creme, please take me home

He wears the finest clothes, the best designers heaven knows
Ooh, from his head down to his toes
Halston, Gucci, Fiorucci
He looks like a still, that man is dressed to kill

Oh, what, wow
He's the greatest dancer
Oh, what, wow
That I've ever seen(I've ever seen)
Oh, what, wow
He's the greatest dancer
Oh, what, wow(Ooh, ooh, ooh, wow)

Oh, what, wow(Hey)
He's the greatest dancer
Oh, what, wow
That I've ever seen(I love your moves)
Oh, what, wow
He's the greatest dancer
Oh, what, wow(That I've ever seen)

Oh, what, wow
He's the greatest dancer
Oh, what, wow
That I've ever seen(I've ever seen)
Oh, what, wow
He's the greatest dancer
Oh, what, wow(Ooh, ooh, ooh, wow)

Oh, what, wow(Hey)
He's the greatest dancer
Oh, what, wow
That I've ever seen(I love your moves)
Oh, what, wow
He's the greatest dancer
Oh, what, wow(That I've ever seen)
Oh... what... wow ! That I've ever seen...

I love your moves...

7.Lost In Music(LP Version)

Lyricist:Bernard EdwardsNile Rodgers
Writer(s):Bernard EdwardsNile Rodgers
Mixing:Bernard EdwardsNile Rodgers

We're lost in music
Caught in a trap
No turnin' back
We're lost in music

We're lost in music
Feel so alive
I quit my nine to five
We're lost in music

Have you ever seen
Some people lose everything
First to go is their mind huh
Responsibility
To me is a tragedy
I'll get a job some other time, uh-huh

I want to join a band
And play in front of crazy fans
Yes, I call that temptation
Give me the melody
That's all that I ever need
The music is my salvation

We're lost in music
Caught in a trap
No turnin' back
We're lost in music

We're lost in music
Feel so alive
I quit my nine to five
We're lost in music

Mmm, hmm, in the spotlight
The band plays so very tight
Each and every night, uh-huh
It's not vanity
To me, it's my sanity
I could never survive

Some people ask me
What are you gonna be
Why don't you go get a job, uh-uh
All that I could say
I won't give up my music
Not me, not now, no way, no how

We're lost in music
Caught in a trap(Caught up in our music)
No turnin' back(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
We're lost in music

We're lost in music(Don't take away our music)
Feel so alive(Feel)
I quit(I quit) my nine to five(Yeah)
We're lost in music

We're lost in music(Melody is good to me)
Caught in a trap(I'm caught up in it)
No turnin' back(No, no, no)
We're lost in music(Ooh, doo doo doo doo doo doo)

We're lost in music(La da da da da da da da, mmm hmm)
Feel so alive
I quit(I quit) my nine to five
We're lost in music(Lost in music)

We're lost in music
Caught in a trap
No turnin' back
We're lost in music

We're lost in music
Feel so alive
I quit my nine to five
We're lost in music

We're lost in music
Caught in a trap
No turnin' back
We're lost in music

I've got to love somebody today
I've got to love somebody
I've got to love somebody today
I've got to love somebody soon

Tired of movies all by myself
I'm sure you folks know what I mean
My time has come and I need someone
To share my popcorns and jellybeans
Looked in the mirror, it all got clearer
I won't let my life pass me by
Stop feelin' sorry for myself
Fish are biting

I hope the shock is very mild
I'll change my hair and change my style
Watch out I might just go wild
I got to get out and live
And show the world how much I can give
I'm gonna do it all by myself
I'll make a love you can't put on a shelf

10.Pretty Baby(LP Version)

Lyricist:Bernard EdwardsNile Rodgers
Writer(s):Bernard EdwardsNile Rodgers
Mixing:Bernard EdwardsNile Rodgers

Pretty baby grew into a lady
The people don't know what your mama know
They don't
Pretty baby

In the light of the dawn
A pretty babe was born
Her mother she had sworn to take good care of her
Every night mom would pray
Her life would not be torn
Her clothes would not be worn
Until they dropped off of her
My child, you dear, don't have no fear
I'll shed the tears, keep your head clear
My Pretty Baby

Pretty baby grew into a lady
The people don't know what your mama know
They don't
Pretty baby

Little girl I want you to attend the finest schools
And never be a fool
I've got experience
Learn all that you can
You'll find that in the end
You'll learn how to depend on yourself
It makes me glad you have the things I didn't have
Never be sad, my Pretty Baby

Pretty baby grew into a lady
The people don't know what your mama know
They don't
Pretty baby

The people don't know what your mama know
They don't
The people don't know what your mama know
They don't
The people don't know what your mama know
They don't
The people don't know what your mama know
They don't

Pretty Baby grew into a lady
Pretty Baby grew into a lady

The people don't know what your mama know
They don't
The people don't know what your mama know
They don't

Pretty Baby

Pretty baby grew into a lady
Pretty baby grew into a lady
The people don't know what your mama know
They don't
The people don't know what your mama know
They don't

Wise up before it's too late
We're not threatened by your lies
Or your good byes

Sometimes the struggle gets rough
You give your all, but it's not enough
A vacant job at the top
Don't let em tell you that right you're not

We're not asking to reverse
Roles so long rehearsed
Give us an equal share
That's just fair

We're all American girls
And we love that life that we lead
We're all American girls
Hear what we say, know what we mean

We're all American girls
And we love that life that we lead

But the weekend passed on reality, said to bring him back
Love was just an act for so long(Now he's gone, oh, ho, ho)

He's just a runaway, runaway
He'll run and break your heart, ho
He's just a runaway, runaway

13.My Guy(LP Version)

Lyricist:Smokey Robinson
Writer(s):Smokey Robinson

Hail girls

Hail Mary, what's up

Well, Juism's become a real drag

Everybody hates me

Nah-ah, not that Guy over there

Who Him

They all say He's different

They say He's really weird

We don't care what people say

To us He's always there

Really

Nothing you could say

Could tear me away

From my God(my God)

Nothing you could do

Cause I'm stuck like glue to

My God(my God, my God)

I'm sticking to my God

Like a stamp to a letter

Like birds of a feather

We stick together

I'm tellin' you from the start

I can't be torn apart from my God

Nothing you could do

Could make me untrue to my God(my God)

Nothing you could buy

Could make me tell a lie

To my God(my God, my God)

I gave my God my word of honor

To be faithful and I'm gonna

You best be believing

I won't be deceiving my God

As a matter of opinion I think he's tops

My opinion is he's the cream of the crop

As a matter of taste to be exact

He's my ideal as a matter of fact

No muscle bound man

Could take my hand

From my God(my God)

No handsome face

Could ever take the place

Of my God(my God, my God)

He may not be a movie star

But when it comes to bein' happy

We are

There's not a man today

Who could take me away from my God

(Cool it down now, ladies)

There's not a man today

Who could take me away from my God

(Give them some of that deep shoulder action)

There's not a man today

Who could take me away from my God

Gotta get back to love

Uh lay down beside me boy we'll talk about what went wrong

Take the shining from my love and let the bright light start
