Teddy Pendergrass Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.Believe in Love

Lyricist:Steve Beckham, Reggie Calloway, Vincent Calloway, Teddy
Pendergrass, Keith Robinson

Don't you know that we can't worry about
The things they say
'Cause they can't change the way we feel, oh no
What we have is more than they'll ever know
'Cause what we have is all so real

Alright, I can't go a single day
Without you and all the things that you do all night
Girl, you make a blind man see
My eyes are opened, now, I want you here with me

If you believe in love
I will never let you down
If you believe in love
I will always be around

Ever since that day I laid my eyes on you
I knew you were the one for me, oh yeah
Rarely does that lightning strike same place twice
I'll be a fool if I ever let you leave, girl

Never in this whole wide world
Would I ever find a woman like you, no no
You don't have to waste your time in worrying
'Cause girl I'm here to stay, I ain't goin' no place

If you believe in love
I will never let you down
If you believe in love
I will always be around

Tell me, baby
Tell me darling
Believe in love, believe in love
Don't you believe in love, believe in love
Don't you believe in love

Never in this whole wide world
Would I ever find a woman like you, baby
You don't have to waste your time in worrying
'Cause girl I'm here to stay, I ain't goin' no place
I'm gonna be right here, baby

If you believe in love
I will never let you down
If you believe in love
I will always be around

If you believe in love
I will never let you down
If you believe in love
I will always be around

If you believe in love
I will never let you down
If you believe in love
I will always be around

If you believe in love
I will never let you down
If you believe in love
I will always be around

If you believe in love
I will never let you down
If you believe in love
I will always be around


2.Close the Door

Lyricist:Kenneth Gamble, Leon Huff

Close the door
Let me give you what you've been waiting for
Baby, I got so much love to give
And I wanna give it all to you

Close the door
No need to worry no more
Let's bring this day to a pleasant end
Girl, it's me and you now

I've waited all day long
Just to hold you in my arms
And it's exactly like I thought it would be
Me loving you and you loving me

Close the door
Let me rub your back where you say it's sore
Come on get closer and closer, so close to me
Let's get lost in each other, come here baby

I've waited all day long
Just to hold you in my arms
And it's exactly like I thought it would be
Me loving you and you loving me

Close the door baby
And let me know you're mine
Plenty good lovin' all through the night
And then again and then again when the morning comes
Come here, woman

Come here baby, let me blow your mind
Let me do what I want to you
Let me do what I want to you
Nothin' makes me love to you baby
You baby, oh baby, so good, baby
So good, so good, so good, baby

You'll do it to me, I'll do it to you
Come here baby, lay you head next to mine
So good, sweet woman
I like the way you make me feel
I like the way you make me feel
So good, so good, so good, so good, baby

Let me do what I wanna do
All I wanna do is make love to you
Let me do what I wanna do
All I wanna do is make love to you
Let me do, do, do, do, do, do

I'll hold you, and touch you
And make you my woman
And give you my love with sweet surrender

A pure and simple honesty

7.She's Over Me

Lyricist:Barry Mann, Cynthia Weil

I, I saw her today
We just met by chance and we smiled a lot
Not knowing what to say
'Cause you see, she's over me

And I, I looked in her eyes
And I saw enough to make me realize
It's dead and gone, I don't have a prayer
Of getting her back where she used to be
She's over me

We stood a minute or two
And we talk like strangers do, saying nothing at all
No one who saw us would know
That once she loved me so

But I'd never dreamed that she'd ever
Would ever be the one to go, no
She got herself free and now she's over me

She's over me

I, I kissed her goodbye
And that kiss killed every hope that I held inside
It tore me all that we had before
Was nothing more than ancient history
I can truly, truly, truly see she had took her some time
But she's finally over me

But I don't know what went wrong
All I know is I spend my life now
Thinking of how good we were
Guess that she's over me, but I'll never been over her


8.My Father's Child

Lyricist:Reggie Calloway, Vincent Calloway, Teddy Pendergrass, Gene
Robinson

There comes a time
When a man has to answer
For the things that he's done
No one to, no one can answer to
No one but the Man up above

See I have to live my life
But when it's all said and done
No matter what no one says

I'm still my Father's child
Oh yes, I am
And I know He'll take good care me

I'm still my Father's child
Oh yes, I am
I know, I know that He will
Take good care of me

When I'm alone
And I need someone that I can talk to
I hold, I hold out my hand
And I know I can say
I can say anything that's on my mind
Oh yes, I can, alright

See when things are going wrong
And there's trouble in my life
See I call out His name 'cause I know

I'm still my Father's child
Oh yes, I am, alright
And I know He'll take good care me

See, I'm still my Father's child
Oh yes, I am
I just wanna testify
He will, He will
Take good care of me, oh yeah

Anything I can ever need, that He's there
My Father, my Father
He carries me on His shoulder
And when I'm weak
He lifts me up, lifts me up

'Cause I'm still my Father's child, oh yeah
And I know that He's a part of me
No matter what I do, no matter what I say
I know, I know that He will
Take good care of me

I'm my Father's child, oh yeah
I'm still my Father's child
Even when I'm up and even when I'm down
I'm still my Father's child, oh yeah
All I have to do is say
Father, Father

Father's child, Father, Father
Father's child, Father's child
Father's child

And friends are few

12.Tender

Lyricist:Reggie Calloway, Dennis Matkosky, Teddy Pendergrass

Baby, send the kids to bed
Spend the time with me instead
Here's our chance to be alone
No friends, no phone

See time is passed unknown
You and I always on the go
And now we must take some time
To do things on my mind

Oh, I've just got to make love
I wanna make sweet love to you, girl
Now the time is come to share the pleasures
Of love our bodies feel inside

It'll be wonderful, it'll be marvelous
And you know I love you, tender
I just wanna love you so tender

Oh, I need to feel every part of you
In spite of all the things that our lives go through
And if by chance that you don't believe
Then baby, I got to say that our love is real
See I'm your man and I've just got to let you know
That I wanna give you so much pleasure

Pour a glass of wine for two
While I get you in the mood
Our night of ecstasy has begun

We'll take our time and take it slow
Making love from head to toe
Oh, what I've got in store for you
Is anything you want me to do

It'll be incredible
Having you laying next to me
I'll be so gentle as I love you completely

It'll be wonderful, it'll be marvelous
And you know I love you, tender

14.It Should've Been You

Lyricist:Teddy Pendergrass, Terry Price

Oh baby
Oh baby

I dreamed of you last night
And oh, your face was so very clear
All I could do is think about the good times
That you and I used to share

I could still remember the last time
Oh, I held you in my arms
But all those days have come and gone now
And all I seem to do is cry

It hurts
(It hurts)
Remembering how things used to be
We thought our love
(Our love)
Could last throughout eternity
Now it's history, baby

It should've been you
It should've been me
It would've been all those things in life
Was meant to be

But if I had you, oh babe
This time you'd see
You would have all my love
I kept inside of me
(I kept inside)

Well, have you got somebody else
Yes, I've got somebody too
But you know I've finally realized
No one could ever take the place of you, no

I'm not the one to place the blame
Or for whatever the fault just might be
All I need is to find a little happiness
Oh, in life that will fulfill me

It's you
(It's you)
It's you that means more to me
Without your love
It's nothin' more than fantasy
Baby, come back to me

It should've been you, oh girl
It should've been me
It would've been all those things in life
Was meant to be

It should've been you
It should've been me
We could've built a love so strong
But my eyes were closed and I didn't see

Oh, it should've been you, baby
It should've been me
It would've been all those things in life
That was meant to be, was meant to be, meant to be, babe

Oh, if I had you, girl
This time you'll see
This time you would have all the love
All the love, all the love that I kept inside of me

You know so much time has passed
Since you and I've being together
So much time till I
I don't know quite how to start

All I know is that from that day until this
You remain on my mind and in my heart
You know I was never really clear
Just what went wrong

I guess that's why I had to write this song
If I know then what I know now
I would have never let you go
No way, no

Oh, it hurts
(It hurts)
Remembering how things used to be
We thought our love
Could last throughout eternity
Now it's history, whoa, baby

It should've been you
It should've been me
It might've been all those things in life
That was meant to be

I know, I know, I know, I know it should've you
It should've been me
We could've built a love so strong
But my eyes were closed and I can't be seen

It should've been you
Oh, it should've been me
It would've been all those things in life
That was meant to be, that was meant to be, oh

Oh, I know if I had you, girl
I know this time you'll see
I'll show you, baby
You could have all my love
All the love, all the love I kept wrapped up inside of me, oh
yeah

Why don't you give me one more chance
If you wanna be with me
Take a chance with me, baby
I woke up this morning with you on my mind

Oh, baby
Oh, baby
Come on
Try it again
Let's start all over
We can make it work this time
Come on


15.It's Over

Lyricist:Ken Gold, Sue Shifrin

Come lay your head an my heart
Soon be apart, stay here the touch of morning
I'm glad we're leaving as friends
Baby, by the way I forgot to say

Can't we try
Love was never born to say goodbye
Just another helpless fool in love is what I am
But I don't give a damn
Sorry, I forgot myself
I guess that I'm just not myself

And I know that we're not supposed to cry
Love was supposed to die when people get to know each other
In case I don't see you again
Really wish you well
Baby, this is hell

Can't we try
Love was never born to say goodbye
Touch me one more time and make me feel that I'm alive
And if we don't survive
At least we'll have a moment here
With honest pain and tears

Then say goodbye
Come lay your head down on my heart
The morning suddenly leads you
You know, yet I don't need you
We can't go back to yesterday
Go away
Girl, I wished you'd stay

Can't we try
Love was never born to say goodbye
Touch me one more time and make me feel that I'm alive
And if we don't survive
And we'll end like we began
And even though it's over

Can't we try
Let's go back to yesterday
Just another helpless fool in love is what I am
But I don't give a damn
See, once before I set you free
I just got to hold you close to me

Can't we try
Love was never born to say goodbye
I want you to touch me, touch me one more time and make me feel
that I'm alive
And if we don't survive
Then we can end like we began
And even though it's over

Can't we try
Let's go back to yesterday
See, I'm just another, just another helpless fool in-
In love is what I am
But I don't give a damn
See, once before I set you free
I got to have you

Can't we try
Love was never born to say goodbye


16.Glad To Be Alive

Lyricist:Lisa Fischer, Teddy Pendergrass

You can do it, anything you want

17.Love T.K.O.

Lyricist:Gip Edward, Jr. Noble, Cecil Womack, Linda Womack

Lookin' back over my years
I guessed, I've shedded some tears
Told myself time and time again
This time I'm gonna win

But another fight, things ain't right
I'm losin' again
Takes a fool to lose twice
And start all over again

Think I'd better let it go
Looks like another love T.K.O.
Think I'd better let it go, let it go, baby
Looks like another love T.K.O.

Tried to take control of the love
Love took control of me
'Cause you lose all thoughts, sense of time
And have a change of mind

Takin' the bumps and the bruises
Of all the things of a two-time loser
Just tryin' to hold on, faith is gone
It's just another sad song

I think I'd better let it go
Looks like another love T.K.O.
Yes, I think I'd better let it go, let it go, baby
Looks like another love T.K.O.

Tried to take control of the love
Love took control of me
'Cause you lose all thoughts, sense of time
And have a change of mind

Takin' the bumps and the bruises
Of all the things of a two-time loser
See I try to hold on, my faith is gone
It's just another sad song

And I think I'd better let it go
Looks like another love T.K.O.
Think I'd better let it go, if I know what's good for you, baby
Looks like another love T.K.O.

I couldn't stand this pain much longer
Think I'd better let it go, let it go, baby
Looks like another love T.K.O.
Oh, sometimes, sometimes I just feel like I wanna say, I wanna
say

'Cause it looks like another love T.K.O.
Tired of gettin' beat up by love
Think I'd better let it go, let it go, baby
Looks like another love T.K.O

Think I'd better let it go
Looks like another love T.K.O.
Think I'd better let it go, let it go, baby
Looks like another love T.K.O.

Oh, they say love is better the second time around
Think I'd better let it go
Looks like another love T.K.O.
I think I'd better let it go


18.Can We Be Lovers

Lyricist:James S Carter, Freddy Williams

Oh baby, you know I hate to beg
And I really hate to rush you girl
We've been knowin' each other for so long
And I really think it's time to let go, baby

Oh baby, don't you feel my heart
It's missing some excitement and you're the missing part
You're the missing part that can heal my lonely nights
You're the missing part that's makes my day so bright
Can we be lovers?

Can we be lovers?
Can we be lovers?
You're the only one I need in my life
Can we be lovers?
Can we be lovers?
Can we be lovers?

Can't you feel my love, it's calling you
To a romantic rendezvous
I believe every heart wants to feel real love
I don't think true love is a mystery, it's right here for you

Can we be lovers?
Can we be lovers?
Can we be lovers?

Please be careful, baby, how you talk to me
And if it's broken I may never love again
And it will be so sad, sweet darling
To live without my friend

Can't you feel my love it's calling you baby
To a romantic rendezvous
Well, each and every heart wants to feel real, real love
I want you to know that my love is here for you

See let me in your heart
You're the only one I want
In my life, in my life
In my life, in my life, life

19.When Somebody Loves You Back

Lyricist:Kenneth Gamble, Leon Huff

It's so good lovin' somebody
And somebody loves you back

To be loved and be loved in return
It's the only thing that my heart desires
Just appreciate the little things I do
Oh, you're the one who's got me inspired
Keep on liftin', liftin' me higher

So good, good lovin' somebody
And somebody loves you back
It's so good needin' somebody
And somebody needs you back

We can build a world of love, a life of joy
Make our goal each other's happiness
I will do for you anything that I can
Oh, everyday I wanna do a little more
Do a little more, just a little bit more

It's so good, good lovin' somebody
And somebody loves you back and that's a fact
It's so good wantin' somebody
And somebody wants you back
Said it's so good

Oh ho, to be loved and be loved in return
It's the only thing that my heart desires
Just appreciate the little things I do
Oh, you're the one who's got me inspired
Keep on liftin', liftin' me higher

So good lovin' somebody
And somebody loves you back and that's a fact
It's so good needin' somebody
And somebody needs you back

Said now 70-30
Now 60-40
Talkin' 'bout a 50-50 love

Said it's so good lovin' somebody
And that somebody loves you back, yeah

Said now 70-30
Now 60-40
Talkin' 'bout a 50-50 love, yeah

It's so good, good lovin' somebody
And somebody loves you back, yeah
It's so good, good

I'm so glad that there's you
I've experienced over and over again when
I've given 80 percent and she's given 20 percent
Now she's givin' 70 percent and I'm givin' 30

But you just don't know how it feels to have somebody
That you can share your life
Somebody that you don't mind talkin' to
Somebody that you don't mind goin' down the middle of the road

I know a lot of guys today they wish they had somebody just like
you
I don't know when the last time I told you
But girl, you make me so very happy
I think we've got something that a lot of people don't seem to
have
Talkin' 'bout a 50-50 love, yeah


20.Can't We Try

Lyricist:Ken Hirsch, Ron Miller

Come lay your head on my heart
Soon it'll be apart, stay here to the touch of morning
I'm glad we're leaving as friends
Baby, by the way, I forgot to say

Can't we try, love was never born to say goodbye
Just another helpless fool in love is what I am
But I don't give a damn, sorry, I forgot myself
I guess that I'm just not myself

And I know that we're not supposed to cry
Love was supposed to die when people get to know each other
In case I don't see you again
Really wish you well, baby, this is hell

Can't we try, love was never born to say goodbye
Touch me one more time and make me feel that I'm alive
And if we don't survive
At least we'll have a moment here with honest pain and tears

Then say goodbye, come lay your head down on my heart
The morning suddenly leads you, you know, yet I don't need you
We can't go back to yesterday, go away
Girl, I wished you'd stay

Can't we try, love was never born to say goodbye
Touch me one more time and make me feel that I'm alive
And if we don't survive
Then we will end like we began and even though it's over

Can't we try, let's go back to yesterday, and I
Just another helpless fool in love is what I am
But I don't give a damn
See, once before I set you free, I just got to hold you close to
me

Can't we try, love was never born to say goodbye
I want you to touch me, touch me one more time
And make me feel that I'm alive
And if we don't survive
Then we can end like we began and even though it's over

Can't we try, let's go back to yesterday, and I
See, I'm just another, just another helpless fool in, in love is
what I am
But I don't give a damn
See, once before I set you free, I got to have you, I got to
have you

Can't we try
Love was never born to say goodbye


21.Now Tell Me That You Love Me

Lyricist:Kenneth Gamble, Leon Huff

You know love is the most over used word in the world today
You know everybody uses the phrase I love you so loosely
I bet you couldn't count the times you've said I love you
Some people are confused, they think liking is loving
Oh, but there's a big difference between liking and love

You know this calls to mind the last time you told me you loved
me
So the next time you say I love you
I want you to know exactly what love really is

Love is not jealous, love it does not brag
Love don't get puffed up, love it never fails, it never fails
So tell me, tell me that you love me
Now that you know what love really, really, really is
So tell me, tell me, tell me that you love me
Come on, tell me, show me that your love is real, that your love
is real

Know love rejoices over truth
Sometimes the truth hurts but will stand the test of time
You know love bears all things and believes all things
Love hopes all things and endures all things
So the next time you tell me you love me
I want you to know exactly what you're saying

'Cause love is not selfish, love is not provoked, no no no
Love is long suffering, love is oh so kind, it's oh so kind
Now tell me, tell me that you love me
Now that you know what love, really, really, really is
Now tell me, tell me, tell me that you love me
Come on, tell me, show me that your love is real

Is it real? Is it real what you feel?
If not you're liking instead of loving
Is it real what you feel?
You tell me you love me
Can you look me in my eyes and say you love me?
Now that you know what love is

Is it real what you feel?
'Cause if not, you're liking instead of loving
Tell me is it real?
I got to know what you feel
'Cause what I feel is real

I can stand right here and say I love you
I can stand right here and say I love you baby
Now that you know what love is, is it real?

Is it real what you feel?
Now that you know, now that you know what love is all about
Can you tell me is it real?
Is it real? Is it real? Is it real?
Is it real what you feel?


22.Spend The Night

Lyricist:Teddy Pendergrass, Terry Price, Bryan Williams

I can tell that you need someone in your life
That truly understands everything that you need
A man that can bring out all the things inside of you
That no one else has been able to see now

We're not children and this no childish game
Wish you'd let me touch you, you'll never ever be the same
We don't take advantage of this precious time
We have no one else to blame except you and I

Spend the night, spend the night with me
All your fantasies, you can share with me
Spend the night, spend the night with me
I'll take care of you, baby, you will see so much love

Say ain't it funny how things just seem to work out?
You know there are those things in life that we could never ever
explain
So while I sit around tryin' to come up with an explanation
With a way that we both feel is drivin' us insane yeah

If you feel a least bit of doubt about anything I say
Don't take my word, I'll tell you in a different way
I'm the man who said, â½Come go with me
Turn out the lights and close the doorâ
I'll give you everything you want and a whole lot more

Spend the night, spend the night with me
All your fantasies, you can share with me
Spend the night, spend the night with me
I'll take care of you, baby, you will see so much love

Spend the night, spend the night with me
All your fantasies, you can share with me
Spend the night, spend the night with me
I'll take care of you, baby, you will see so much love

Spend the night, spend the night with me
All your fantasies, you can share with me
Spend the night, spend the night with me


23.Hold Me

Lyricist:Linda Creed, Michael Masser

I'll hold you and touch you and make you my woman
I'll give you my love with sweet surrender
Tonight our hearts will beat as one
And I will hold you, touch you
And make you my woman tonight

There's something in your eyes I see
A pure and simple honesty

Hold me in your arms tonight
Fill my life with pleasure
Let's not waste this precious time
This moment's ours to treasure

Hold me in your arms tonight
We'll make it last forever
When the morning sun appears
We'll find our way together

I believe you when you say that you love me
Know that I won't take you for granted
Tonight the magic has begun
So won't you hold me, touch me
Make me your woman tonight

There's something in your eyes I see
I won't betray your trust in me

Hold me in your arms tonight

Something in your eyes I see
When the morning sun appears

Let's not waste this precious time
This moment's ours to treasure

Hold me in your arms tonight
We'll make it last forever
There's something in your eyes I see
When the morning sun appears
We'll find our way together


24.Life Is A Song Worth Singing

Lyricist:Thom Bell, Linda Creed

Life is a song worth singing
Why don't you sing it?
Life is a song worth singing
Why don't you sing it?

You hold the key in the palm of your hand, use it
Don't blame your life on the master plan, change it

Only you generate the power
To decide what to do with your life
You're a fool if you think you're helpless
You control what you do with your life

Life is a song worth singing
Why don't you sing it?
Life is a song worth singing
Why don't you sing it?

Don't like the way you're living, too bad
Can't change your life 'cause it's out of your hand, so sad

So you sit on your pants and holler
'Cause the world ain't been treating you right
Don't you know you contain the power
To control destiny with your mind

You control what you do with your life
You're a fool if you think you're helpless
Can't change your life 'cause it's out of your hand, so sad, no

You got the power, use it, use it
You got to control destiny with your mind
Right here, right here, right here
You decide what to do with your life, well, well

Life is a song worth singing


25.I Can't Live Without Your Love

Lyricist:Leon Huff, Cecil Womack

Baby, I, oh, I
I can't live without your love
See, I'm smilin' on the outside
While I'm just cryin' on the inside
Facin' a world without your love

See, the truth has come to light
You're the reason nothing's right
Alone again tonight
All just because of some silly fight

I, oh, oh, oh, I
I don't wanna give without your love, foolishly I suffer
I only pretend, oh, just to fool my friend
Don't know what to do with myself without your love

There's a wounded empty space
Nothing can replace that love
That love, that love, that love that I lost
You're my life, you mean so much to me

And I can't go it alone
This winding, this winding road is so long
So pack it up, baby, get it together
Let's start all over again

I, oh, oh, oh, I
I don't wanna live without your love
While I'm smiling on the outside, I'm just cryin' on the inside
Facin' a world without your love

See, I'm fightin' sleepless nights
Tears have washed all hope from sight
Oh, wouldn't it be, wouldn't it be so right
If I had you right here with me tonight
If you only reach out your hand and save a heartbroken man
I can't live


26.In My Time

Lyricist:Michael Masser, Cynthia Weil

You know, I'm no beginner
My hearts been to the wall
I'm a tried and true romantic
Who's seen and done it all

And when you walked into my life
Suddenly I knew
All the love I had inside
Was leading me to you

In my time
I've lived and loved so much
Through each high and low
I let my heart be touched

In my time
There isn't much I've missed
I've seen love come and go, but heaven knows
I've never loved like this in my time

After all that I've been through
I'm in love with you

I've won some and I've lost some
But us dreamers don't complain
We keep reaching out for passion
No matter what the pain

When I looked into your eyes
It all fell into place
I found, what I was searching for
Shining in your face

In my time
I've lived and loved so much
Through each high and low
I let my heart be touched

In my time
There isn't much I've missed
I've seen love come and go, but heaven knows

Through each high and low
I let my heart be touched

In my time
There isn't much I've missed

28.You're My Latest, Greatest Inspiration

Lyricist:Kenneth Gamble, Leon Huff

I've been so many places
I've seen so many things
But none quite as lovely as you

More beautiful than the Mona Lisa
Worth more than gold
And my eyes have pleasure to behold

You're my latest and my greatest
My latest, my greatest inspiration

Things never looked clearer
Peace within never felt nearer
My burden's gone, it's turned to a song

Tender as a baby's touch
I needed you, oh, so much
At last, the load's so light

You're my latest and my greatest
My latest, my greatest inspiration

I plan to give you all that I have
I'll be everything
Everything you think I am

You make life a joy to live
And I'm thankful, yes
I'm blessed just to know you

I've been so many places
I've seen so many things
But none quite as delectable as you

More beautiful than the Mona Lisa
Worth more than gold
And my eyes have the pleasure to behold

You're my latest, tell you you're my greatest
My latest, my greatest inspiration
You inspire me, inspire me
Don't you know it, my latest, my greatest inspiration?

You just keep on liftin' me up, now
(Higher, higher)
You inspire me, I want you to keep liftin' me up
(Higher, higher)

I want you to keep on liftin' me up

29.Wake Up Everybody

Lyricist:Victor Carstarphen, Gene Mcfadden, John Whitehead

Wake up everybody, no more sleepin' in bed
No more backward thinkin' time for thinkin' ahead
The world has changed so very much from what it used to be
So there is so much hatred war an' poverty

Wake up all the teachers, time to teach a new way
Maybe then they'll listen to whatcha have to say
'Cause they're the ones who's coming up and the world is in
their hands
When you teach the children, teach 'em the very best you can

The world won't get no better
If we just let it be
The world won't get no better
We gotta change it, yeah, just you and me

Wake up all the doctors, make the ol' people well
They're the ones who suffer an' who catch all the hell
But they don't have so very long before the judgment day
So won'tcha make them happy before they pass away?

Wake up all the builders, time to build a new land
I know we can do it if we all lend a hand
The only thing we have to do is put it in our mind
Surely things will work out, they do it every time

The world won't get no better
If we just let it be
The world won't get no better
We gotta change it, yeah, just you and me


30.Come Go With Me

Lyricist:Kenneth Gamble, Leon Huff

Come on and go with me
Come on over to my place

I don't feel like bein' lonely tonight
You see, I want, I want some company
And you look like you're just my type
You're the kind, you're the kind
Whose spirits are runnin' free

Let's take a sip of some cold, cold wine
And dance to the music nice and slow
And you won't be under any kind of pressure
You see, we'll just let, we'll just let the evenin' flow

Come on and go with me
I'd sure like that, baby
Come on over to my place
It would be so nice, it would be so good
Come on and go with me
Come on over to my place

You look like you're just bored to death
And you wanna get away
You wanna get away from this noisy crowd
Let's go where it's nice and quiet
Where there's nobody, there's nobody else around

Let's sit by a cozy lit fire
And we can be in each other's company
Now how does that sound to you?
You see, â~cause it sounds so good
It sounds so good to me

Come on and go with me
Would you do that, baby?
Come on over to my place
Would you do that, baby?
Would you do that, baby?
Come on and go with me
Come on over to my place

My car's right outside, we can leave right now
That's if you're ready to go
I know you're just beatin' me
You see, I'd understand it
I'd understand it if you said no
But don't you do it, baby

Come on and go with me, come on, baby
(No)
Come on over to my place
(No, not tonight, no)
You see it's not far from here
(I believe you)

Would you just take a minute and think about it?
(Oh, man)
Would you just think about it, think about it? Yeah
(I'm thinkin' about it but I really have to say no)

Come on and go with me
Come on over to my place
(No, I know)
You're sittin' here, you've been sittin' here for quite a long
time
(Yeah, I'm slightly bored, I hate bein' bored)

See, I've been watchin' you
(I've been doin' the same thing)
I've had my eyes on you
(I've been checkin' you out all night long)
You look so nice and you look so sweet
(Oh, thank you)

Come on and go with me
(That was sweet)
You look like you oughta be with me
Come on, over to my place
(Yeah, but what are you gonna with me? That's the problem)

Seems that you feel the same way I do
(I think it would pretty interesting)
It seems that you need some company, too
(Oh, boy)
Yeah

Come on and go with me
(You said your car is right outside, right in front)
Come on, over to my place
(And you're gonna bring me home after)
But would it be all right with you?

Come on and go with me
If we left here and we went somewhere else, baby
(Come on over to my place)
Somewhere where it's nice and quiet, nice and quiet
(That's nice, yeah, that sounds a little better than this place)
Where we could sit down by a cozy lit fire
We could sip a little wine, work things out
(Oh, yeah)

Come on and go with me, work things out
(Well, I cannot stay long)
Come on over to my place
(We got an hour, no more than that)
Lady, you won't be under any kinda pressure
(Please, I cannot stand pressure)

I wouldn't do that, baby? No
(Okay, well, would you get my coat?)
See, I wouldn't do that, baby
See, I just wanna sit down
And get to know you a little better
(Okay, just for a little while)

I swear you look so good to me
(Are you gonna pay for my drink?)
Come on over to my place
You look so good to me


31.Feel The Fire

Lyricist:Peabo Bryson

Something that you told me
Stayed in my head all night long
You wanted me to love you when you said, 'Simply
Reach out and touch me, my love is in your hands'

Feel me, I want to feel the fire
Why do you want to play with my emotion?

And if I should lose your love
For any reason, any reason at all
Then just let my record show
I gave you all of my love I know

Feel me, I want to feel the fire
Feel me, I want to feel the fire
I don't want to play with your emotions
Give me love and all your devotion
I want to feel you, feel it

And if I should lose your love
For any one reason, any reason at all
Then just let my record show
I gave you all the love, I know

Feel the fire, I want to feel you
I want to feel you
Feel the fire, I want to feel you
Teddy, Teddy, Teddy, don't you dare
Don't you dare try to play with my emotions

I want to give you all of my love
I want to give you all of my love

Feel the fire, feel the fire
Feel it, feel it, feel it, feel it
Come on, Teddy, Teddy

I want to give you all of my love
I want to give you all of my love
I want to give you all of my, all of my, all of my

Don't you dare, I don't believe that
You'd dare to play with my emotions
You better believe it baby, I do
Give me all of your love baby
Give me all of your love, I give you all


32.Stay With Me

Lyricist:Gerry Goffin, Michael Masser

Stay with me, stay with me
Spend just one more day with me
Maybe, you can re-arrange your plates
I know there's a whole new world you found
And it's true that world you bound
But please, don't leave me standin' here
Just stranded on the ground

So won't you stay with me, stay with me?
Spend just one more day with me
I can't bear to see it end this way
If I could spend one night with you
It would last my whole life through
If all the nights I've held you close
Tonight's the night that means the most

So stay with me
Tonight I'll show you that our love is something beautiful
I'm gonna give you all the loving you need
Tonight I'll show you that our love is something beautiful
For the rest of your life you'll never wanna be

So won't you stay with me, stay with me?
Spend just one more day with me
I just need some time to change your mind
I'm gonna make you feel much
Than you've ever felt before
Won't let you get away form me
Tonight you're gonna stay with me

So stay with me
Tonight, I'll show you that our love is something beautiful
I'm gonna give you all the loving you need
Tonight, I'll show you that our love is something beautiful
For the rest of your life, you'll never wanna leave

Won't you stay with me, stay with me?
Spend just one more day with me
'Cause I can't bear to see it end this way

So won't you stay with me, stay with me?
Spend just one more day with me
'Cause I can't bear to see it end this way

So won't you stay with me, stay with me?
(My darling, stay with me, stay with me)
Spend just one more day with me
(Spend just one more day with me)
(Of all the nights I've held you close)
(Tonight's the night that means the most)

Stay with me, stay with me?
Spend just one more day with me
I can't bear, see it end this way
Stay with me, stay with me?
Spend just one more day with me
Of all the nights I've held you close
Tonight's the night that means the most
Stay with me


33.Love TKO

Lyricist:Gip Edward, Jr. Noble, Cecil Womack, Linda Womack

Lookin' back over my years
I guessed, I've shredded some tears
Told myself time and time again
This time I'm gonna win

But another fight, things ain't right
I'm losin' again
Takes a fool to lose twice
And start all over again

Think I'd better let it go
Looks like another love TKO
(Oh, oh, oh)

Think I'd better let it go
(What you think about it, girl)
Let it go, baby
(Oh, yeah)
Looks like another love TKO
(Mmm, mmm, mmm)

Tried to take control of the love
Love took control of me
'Cause you lose all thoughts, sense of time
And have a change of mind

Takin' the bumps and the bruises
Of all the things of a two-time loser
Tryin' to hold on, faith is gone
It's just another sad song

I think I'd better let it go
(What you say about it?)
Looks like another love TKO
(Oh, oh, ho, whoa, yes)

I think I'd better let it go)
Let it go, baby
(Oh, baby)
Looks like another love TKO
(Mmm, hmm, oh, ho, oh)

Oh ho whoa ho
Ooh hoo
Oh ho oh
Ooh ooh
Mmm mmm

Tried to take control of the love
Love took control of me
'Cause you lose all thoughts, sense of time
And have a change of mind

Takin' the bumps and the bruises
Of all the things of a two-time loser
See I try to hold on, my faith is gone
It's just another sad song

And I think I'd better let it go
(Let it go, let it go)
Looks like another love TKO
(I think I'd better)

Think I'd better let it go, let it go, baby
(If I know what's good for you, girl)
Looks like another love TKO
(I couldn't stand this pain much longer)

Think I'd better let it go, let it go, baby
(Whoa oh, yeah)
Looks like another love TKO
(Ooh, ooh, baby)

Oh, sometimes, sometimes I just feel like I wanna say
I wanna say, mmm, mmm
'Cause it looks like another love TKO
(Tired of gettin' beat up by love)

Think I'd better let it go, let it go, baby
(Before it's too late, yeah)
Looks like another love TKO
(Hey ey oh, yeah)
(Mmm hmm mmm hmm mmm hmm mmm hmm)

Think I'd better let it go
(Yeah)
Looks like another love TKO
(Hey, yeah, whoa, I think I'd better)

Think I'd better let it go
(Let it go)
Let it go, baby
(Oh, yeah)
Looks like another love TKO
(Yeah)
(Oh, they say love is better the second time around)

Think I'd better let it go
(I can't stand on my feet)
Looks like another love TKO
(I'm falling down, no, 'cause, 'cause, 'cause)
I think I'd better let it go
(Let it go, baby)


34.You're My Latest, My Greatest Inspiration

Lyricist:Kenneth Gamble, Leon Huff

I've been so many places
I've seen so many things
But none quite as lovely as you

More beautiful than the Mona Lisa
Worth more than gold
And my eyes have the pleasure to behold

You're my latest and my greatest
My latest, my greatest inspiration

Things never looked clearer
Peace within never felt nearer
My burden's gone, it's turned into a song

Tender as a baby's touch
I needed you, oh, so much
At last the load is so light

You're the latest and my greatest
My latest, my greatest inspiration

I plan to give you all that I have
I'll be everything, everything you think I am
You make life a joy to live
And I'm thankful, yes, I'm blessed just to know you

I've been so many places
I've seen so many things
But none quite as delectable as you
More beautiful than the Mona Lisa
Worth more than gold
And my eyes have the pleasure just to behold

You're my latest, tell you you're my greatest
My latest, my greatest inspiration
You inspire me, inspire me
Don't you know, my latest, my greatest inspiration

35.The Love I Lost

Lyricist:Kenneth Gamble, Leon Huff

The love I lost was a sweet love
The love I lost was complete love
The love I lost, I will never
No, no, never love again

I can remember planning
Building my whole world around you
I can remember hoping
That you and I could make it on through

But something went wrong
We loved each other, we just couldn't get along
Take a good look at me
I'm in misery, can't you see?

The love I lost was a sweet love
The love I lost was complete love
The love I lost
I will never, no, no, never love again

I can't remember nothing, no, no, no
But the good times we used to share, my love
I'm so sad and lonely
But without you, my life is so dead

I'm sorry to say
You go your way and I'll go my way
It hurts deep inside
The day we said goodbye, but

The love I lost was a sweet love
The love I lost was complete love
The love I lost
I will never, no, no, never love again

Never, no, no, never love again
Never, no, no, never love again
Never, no, no, never love again
Never, no, no, never love again


36.Love

Lyricist:Randy Goodrum, Michael Masser

Love, I've waited all my life to find you
I've searched for you in every dream
And suddenly
You reached out to me

Oh love, I remember when I first touched you
I remember how my heart had wings
To said upon
Tell me what went wrong

Oh love, when you were just within my reach
I was blind
To find my dreams of being free

Oh love, it's not too late for you and me
There's still time
As long as we believe
Believe in love

I thought that I could live without you
I really thought that I was strong
But now you're gone
I'm not half as strong

Oh love, I never knew how much I missed you
I never knew I had to give to you
To keep you hear
Now, I need you here

Oh love, when you were just within my reach
I was blind
To find my dreams of being free

Oh love, it's not too late for you and me
There's still time
As long as we believe
Believe in love

I never knew how life could fade away
A little bit more each day
Without you
I'm twice the fool

Oh love, believe me when I say I'm sorry
We've got to find a way to start all over
'Cause it's not over
For me and you

Oh love, you were just within my reach
I was blind
To find my dreams of being free

Free, is just the way to say goodbye
But I was wrong
I really need you by my side

Oh love, start to rain for you and me
There is still time
As long as we believe

Leaving love, it start to rain for you and me
Leaving love, as long as we believe
Leaving love, it start to rain for you and me
Leaving love
