2.Softly Softly
Lyricist:Eddy Grant
I love Jenny, Jenny loves me
I'm in trouble as you will see
I went to see Lucy
(Lucy)
This morning at half past three
(Whoopie)
The floorboard started to squeak
Softly, softly, softly, softly, softly
(Hey, hey, hey)
Hold on baby, I'm coming
I'm in trouble, trouble loves me
Great confusion, Lord help me
Beginning of the end for me
(Whoopie)
And I didn't even kiss Lucy
(Lucy)
But Jenny was so noisy
Softly, softly, softly, softly, softly
(Hey, hey, hey)
Hold on baby, I'm coming
I said, I love Jenny, Jenny loves me
I'm in trouble as you will see
I went to see Lucy
(Lucy)
This morning at half past three
(Whoopie)
The floorboard started to squeak
Softly, softly, softly, softly, softly
(Hey, hey, hey)
Hold on baby, I'm coming

5.Black Is Black
Black is black
I want my baby back
It's gray, it's gray
Since she went away, ooh, ooh
What can I do?
'Cause I-I-I'm feelin' blue
If I had my way
She'd be back today
But she don't intend
To see me again, ooh, ooh
What can I do?
'Cause I-I-I'm feelin' blue
I can't choose
It's too much to lose
My love's too strong
Wow, maybe if she
Would come back to me
Then it can't go wrong
Bad is bad
That I feel so sad
It's time, it's time
That I found peace of mind, ooh, ooh
What can I do?
'Cause I-I-I'm feelin' blue
I can't choose
It's too much to lose
My love's too strong
Wow! Maybe if she
Would come back to me
Then it can't go wrong
Black is black
I want my baby back
It's gray, it's gray
Since she went away, ooh, ooh
What can I do
'Cause I-I-I'm feelin' blue
'Cause I-I-I'm feelin' blue
