Teddy Pendergrass Teddy Pendergrass Lyrics
1.Somebody Told Me

Breaking my back just to know your name*
Seventeen tracks and I've had it with this game...
Breaking my back just to know your name
But heaven ain't close in a place like this
Anything goes but don't blink you might miss...
Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this
I said heaven ain't close in a place like this
Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight...
Never thought I'd let a rumor ruin my moonlight

Well somebody told me
You had a boyfriend
Who looked like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential
I've got potential

Ready, let's roll onto something new
Taking its toll and I'm leaving without you

Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this
I said heaven ain't close in a place like this
Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight...
Never thought I'd let a rumor ruin my moonlight

Well somebody told me
You had a boyfriend
Who looked like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential
I've got potential
A rushin', a rushin' around

Pace yourself from me
I said maybe baby please...
But I just don't know now...
When all I wanna do is try

Well somebody told me
You had a boyfriend
Who looked like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential
I've got potential
A rushin', a rushin' around


2.Be Sure


3.The More I Get, The More I Want


4.The Whole Town's Laughing at Me

Lyricist:Marshall Sherman, Wortham Ted

The whole town's laughing at me

Yeah, I had your love right here
In the palm of my hands
And I lost it and I lost it
Had a love so new, one a man feel
And I lost it and I lost it

Maybe if I had spent more time with you
Maybe then, maybe then you'd still be mine
Oh and only if I had been just a little more kind to you
There'd be no need, for this man to be cryin'

The whole town's laughing at me
Silly fool, how'd you lose such a good friend?

Had my dream so near
I could reach out and touch it
And I lost it and I lost it
Had a world complete
It was, oh, so sweet
And I lost it and I lost it

Maybe if I had spent just a little more time with you
Maybe then, maybe then you still be mine
Oh and only if I had been just a little more kind to you
There'd be no need, for this man to be cryin'

The whole town's laughing at me
Silly fool, how'd you lose such a good friend? Oh

Maybe if I had spent more time with you
Maybe then, maybe then you still be mine
Maybe I think about it
And only if I had been just a little more kind to you
There'd be no need, for this man to be cryin'

The whole town's laughing at me
Silly fool, how'd you lose such a good friend?
The whole town's laughing at me
Silly fool, how'd you lose such a good friend?
The whole town's laughing at me
Silly fool, how'd you lose such a good friend?


5.I Don't Love You Anymore

Lyricist:Kenneth Gamble, Leon Huff

I don't love you anymore
It's just that simple
No, no, no, not like before
Such a shame, dirty shame

We can't work it out
No, not this time
We can't be together
We can only be friends

You gotta respect each other
You gotta reply to your lover
It could never be,
It could never be like it was before,
You don't know what I'm talkin' about

I don't love you anymore
It's just that simple
No, no, no, not like before
Such a shame, dirty shame

I'll take care of my responsibilities
I'll send you your money
Every month, you can depend on that
You better believe that you can

But we can't live together
This way we'll be much better

'Cause you say you never know
You say you never know
Where I'm comin' from
You see I just got to tell ya

I don't love you anymore
It's just that simple
No, no, no, not like before

I just got to tell ya
I don't love you anymore
No, no, no, not like before
I don't love you anymore
No, no, no, not like before

Said I try, and I try, and I try
Said I try

I tried being your man
Tried doing everything that I can
But we can't make it
But we can't make it
We just can't make it
We just can't make it

Maybe someday
Once we get our heads together
Oh, oh, oh oh
Well, we can try baby, try baby

I don't love you anymore
No, no, no, not like before
I don't love you anymore
No, no, no, not like before

I don't love you anymore
No, no, no, not like before
I don't love you anymore


6.Easy, Easy, Got To Take It Easy

Lyricist:Victor Carstarphen, Gene Mc Fadden, John Whitehead

As I lay here next to you
Holding you in my arms, baby
I get a thought here in my mind
It says, 'Take your time'

I don't wanna move too fast, I don't wanna move too fast
So if I'm gonna be yours and you're gonna be mine
If I'm gonna be yours and you're gonna be mine
We gotta take our time and do it

Easy, easy, got to take it easy
Easy, easy, got to take it easy

Ooh, this feelin' is cool
But I can't get too excited, no
'Cause if I move too fast
See, if it just wanna last, no, no

I don't wanna move too fast, I don't wanna move too fast
So if I'm gonna be yours and you're gonna be mine
If I'm gonna be yours and you're gonna be mine
We gotta take our time and do it

Easy, easy, got to take it easy
Easy, easy, got to take it easy

Ooh, baby, let's go, let's go
So if I'm gonna be yours and you're gonna be mine
If I'm gonna be yours and you're gonna be mine
We gotta take our time and do it

Easy, easy, got to take it easy
Easy, easy, got to take it easy
Easy, easy, got to take it easy
Easy, easy, got to take it easy

God knows this feelin' is good, it's good
And I want this good thing to last, it's good
Ever, ever

Easy, easy, easy, got to take it easy
Easy, easy, got to take it easy
Easy, easy, got to take it easy

Easy, easy, got to take it easy
Easy, easy, got to take it easy
Easy, easy, got to take it easy
...


7.And If I Had

AND IF I HAD SOMEONE TO LOVE ME
AND IF I HAD SOMEONE WHO REALLY CARED
I WOULD BE THE BEST LOVER THAT THEY EVER HAD
CAUSE I NEED SOMEBODY TO LOVE ME, LOVE BACK (YES I DO)
(hey hey hey)

AND IF I HAD ONE SUNNY DAY
AND IF I HAD SOMEONE TO CHASE MY BLUES AWAY
I WOULD BE, I WOULD BE THE LUCKIEST MAN
IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD....
CAUSE I NEED SOMEBODY TO LOVE ME, LOVE BE BACK
SEE I NEED TO LOSE I NEED TO LOSE THIS EMPTY FEELING
(THIS EMPTY FEELING)
SOMEONE TO START TO NEED SOMEBODY TO STOP TO STOP THESE ENDLESS
NIGHTS
I NEED SOME TO LOVE (would hold me)AND HOLD REAL TIGHT (would
