1.Want Ads
Lyricist：Norman Johnson, Barney Perkins, Gregory Stephen Perry
Wanted young man single and free
Experience in love preferred
But will accept a young trainee
Oh, I'm gonna put it in the want ads
I need a love that's true
Gonna put it in the want ads, my man and I are through
At home I find myself lost and all alone
My man is playing the field, the thrill is gone
He stays out all night, says he's with the boys
But lipstick on his collar, perfume on it too
Tells me he's been lying, tell ya what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna put it in the want ads, this girl's in misery
Gonna put it in the want ads, somebody rescue me
I spend my nights alone, cryin' bitter tears
Although I cry aloud, nobody really hears
And when I need him most, he's never by my side
He's either playing cards or drinking at the bar
He thinks that I'm a fool, I'm going to the evening news
Gonna put it in the want ads, I need somebody new
Gonna put it in the want ads, my man and I are through
Extra extra, read all about it
Wanted young man single and free

Oh, I'm gonna put it in the want ads, I need somebody new

2.If I Can't Fly
Lyricist：Bond Angelo, Perry Gregory S
If I can't fly I'm gonna run
If I can't run I'm gonna walk back to you
If I can't walk I'm gonna crawl back to your arms
(Back to your arms)
Our love is ending
But new love's beginning for you, baby
Only time will tell if this love will fail
Will tomorrow bring you sorrow？
If you're drifting around
Having your ups and downs
If your luck starts to change, sunshine turns to rain
I'll be your sun again, together we can win
If I can't fly I'm gonna run
If I can't run I'm gonna walk back to you
If I can't walk I'm gonna crawl back to your arms
(Back to your arms)
You've been so good to me, Lord knows I prayed
You'll make it all the way with your new love
If the day ever comes, you feel are the ones
It's not too late if it's a mistake
If you're walking down the aisles saying those wedding vows
And you wanna stop the wedding
Your heart starts regretting ever leaving me
And you start pleading me
Stop
(Stop)
Tell the preacher I'm trying to reach ya
(I'm trying to reach ya)
Oh
(I'm trying to reach ya)
Stop, hold on, I'm coming
Baby, I'm running, running, running
If I can't fly I'm gonna run
If I can't run I'm gonna walk back to you
If I can't walk I'm gonna crawl back to your arms
(Back to your arms)
If I can't fly I'm gonna run
If I can't run I'm gonna walk back to you
If I can't walk I'm gonna crawl back to your arms
(Back to your arms)
3.Take Me With You
Lyricist：Ronald Dunbar, Edith Wayne
Darlin', take me with you wherever you go
Don't leave me, don't leave me
Darlin', take me with you wherever you go
Don't leave me, don't leave me
All our lives through thick and thin, we've been so involved
Whatever problems we have, the two of us will solve
Now you want to go away and leave me by myself
Because you feel the need to try and find yourself
But darlin', take me with you wherever you go
Let's go together, together
Darlin', take me with you wherever you go
Don't leave me, don't leave me
You need a woman by your side that believes in you
It can only make you stronger to face what's ahead of you
'Cause if something should go wrong if plans don't succeed
I should be right there in your time of need
Darlin', take me with you wherever you go
Don't leave me, don't leave me
Darlin', take me with you wherever you go
Let's go together
(Don't leave me)
Don't make me live my life from day to day
Wondering how you are while you're miles away
Why can't you understand that you're a part of me？
Without you my whole world would surely seems to be
You say, the life you lead would be so hard
And you will send for me when you'll make a start
But did we made it through the years this far together？
And I don't wanna live without you, never
Darlin', I'm begging, take me with you wherever you go
Don't leave me, don't leave me
Darlin', take me with you wherever you go
Let's go together
(Don't leave me)
I'm begging
Darlin, take me with you wherever you go
Don't leave me, don't leave me
4.I Lost My Rainbow
Lyricist：Bond Angelo, Johnson General N, Perry Gregory S
Do you remember when just waiting around the bend
Was more than fortune, more than fame？
But then you walked away with my last sunny day
Now all that's left in my life is rain
I lost my rainbow
I lost my pot of gold
I lost a dream for you
The moment I lost you
When I was loved by you I had a patch of blue
A lovely star to wish upon without your hand to hold
I'm lost without a goal
Even the Milky Way is gone
I lost my rainbow
I lost my pot of gold
I lost a dream for you
The moment I lost you
I can't see it in another sky, I can't see it in another's eyes
No other love can calm the storm that's inside of me
Can bring out the sun and keep me warm the way it used to be
Will I see sunshine ever again？
I lost my rainbow
I lost my pot of gold
I lost a dream for you
The moment I lost you
I lost my rainbow, I lost my rainbow
Without your love I'm never gonna find it
I lost my rainbow, I lost my rainbow
Darlin', where are you？ Oh
5.My Mind's On Leaving But My Heart Won't Let Me Go
Lyricist：Ronald Dunbar, General N. Johnson, Edith Wayne
The cab driver blowin' and my bags are all packed
As I start towards the door my heart keeps pulling me back
My mind's on leaving but my heart won't let me go
'Cause the picture hung us on the wall
Brings back memories of how love used to be
And just like I've done before
I turn and close the door, hate myself once more
I ran to my room, fell across the bed
Tears on a pillow, I wish that I were dead
My heart knows how much I love you
But I hate the agony you put me through
Whatever happened to the plans that we made
All I'm living on is a little love I saved
Yes, you would lock me out your life
We no longer share 'cause you no longer care
The past keeps me hangin' on
To the love you gave, the love I still prayed
Mm, hmm, mmm, mm, hmm, mmm
I hate, I need ya
Each day it takes a little bit more of me
My mind's no longer a part of me
My heart can't forget how love used to be
And I'm holding on to sweet memories
Whatever happened to the plans that we made？
All I'm living on is a little love I saved
The cab driver blowin' and my bags are all packed
As I start towards the door my heart keeps pulling me back
My mind's on leaving but my heart won't let me go
My mind's on leaving but my heart won't let me go
6.Don't Send Me An Invitation
Lyricist：Bond Angelo, Johnson General N, Perry Gregory S
Don't send me an invitation
Don't
(Don't send me an invitation)
Hurt me anymore
(Spare me from humiliation)
Spare me, spare me
You loved two of us, one of us got to lose
I have but one regret, she's the one you choose
Everything was beautiful, I wish you two the best
Please grant my aching heart one last request
Skip my name when you make out the wedding list
Pretend as though I'm someone who never did exist
Don't send me an invitation
Please
(Don't send me an invitation)
Don't hurt me anymore
(Spare me from humiliation)
Don't send me an invitation
Don't
(Don't send me an invitation)
Hurt me anymore
(Spare me from humiliation)
Spare me, spare me
I don't wanna read the paper that announces you're engaged
I don't wanna see her picture and your names on the page
When the big day comes you'll have a celebration
You'll invite all your friends for the joyful occasion
I've lost your love, I've lost all faith and hope
Don't send my crushed dreams to me in an envelope
Don't send me an invitation
Don't
(Don't send me an invitation)
Hurt me anymore
(Spare me from humiliation)
Already
(Don't send me an invitation)
I'm in misery
Please spare the humility
Oh, don't
(Don't send me an invitation)
Hurt me anymore
(Spare me from humiliation)
7.Don't Count Your Chickens (Before They Hatch)
Lyricist：Angelo Bond, Norman Johnson, Gregory Stephen Perry
Don't count your chickens before they hatch
No, no, no, you better treat me like a lady
You ain't got my lovin' yet
Don't count your chickens before they hatch
No, no, no, you better treat me with respect
Or my love you'll never get
Hey, Mr. Big Shot, what you putting down
Lately when I need you
You're nowhere to be found
(What you putting down？)
I heard it through the grapevine
You've been cheatin' love
'Cause what you see you ain't got
Until you'll respect my love
I ain't no pushover
I got a bird in the bushes too
Don't be too over confident
That bird may not be you
Don't count your chickens before they hatch
No, no, no, you better treat me like a lady
You ain't got my lovin' yet
Don't count your chickens before they hatch
No, no, no, you better treat me with respect
Or my love you'll never get
You're gonna blow a good thing
You think I'm under your thumb
One day you'll snap your finger
And I will fail to come
(You weren't the only one)
You break to your men friends
To make yourself look tall
When I leave, they'll laugh at you
And on your knees you crawl
I ain't no pushover
I got a bird in the bushes, too
Don't be too over confident
That bird may not be you
Don't count your chickens before they hatch
No, no, no, you better treat me with respect
Or my love you'll never get
Oh, oh, oh, oh
You better treat me like a lady
You better treat me like a lady
Don't count your chickens before they hatch
No, no, no, you better treat me like a lady
You ain't got my lovin' yet
Don't count your chickens before they hatch
No, no, no, you better treat me with respect
Or my love you'll never get
8.The Feeling's Gone
Lyricist：Ronald Dunbar, Edith Wayne
How can I give you what I'm asking for
Oh, oh baby, when the feeling's gone？
(When the feeling is gone)
How can I respect the things you say
Oh, oh baby, when the feeling's gone？
(When the feeling is gone)
You promised together we'll always remain
You said, my love wouldn't be in vain
Now didn't you, baby？
You changed everything about me but my name
Now didn't you, baby？
There's nothing more to say
Let's go our separate ways, oh baby
How can I take you back into my arms
Oh, oh baby, when the feeling's gone？
(When the feeling is gone)
And how can I forgive what you've done
Oh, oh baby, when the feeling's gone？
(When the feeling is gone)
Where were you when I needed you？
You know what you said and do
You said, and to each life some tears would fall
Now didn't you, baby？ Hey, hey, hey
You said, your love for me would dry them all away
Now didn't you, baby？
It's all over, dear
I cried my last tears for you
But I want you to know I'm gonna keep on giving my love
But not to you, baby, hey, hey, hey
I want you to know I'm gonna keep on needing someone
But it won't be you, baby
Oh, oh baby, oh how can I give my love
When the feeling is gone？
How can I love you？
9.Are You Man Enough, Are You Strong Enough
Lyricist：Ronald Dunbar, Edith Wayne
Oh, look at you now, now that you've found out
The child you're raising is not your own
Tell me, tell me how does it feel now that she's revealed
Oh, your pride and joy is not your little boy
Tell me, are you man enough？
Are you strong enough？
Can you take the strain？
Can you bear the pain？
I wanna know, are you man enough？
Are you strong enough？
Can you take the strain？
Can you bear the pain？
(Didn't I)
Now didn't I tell you that love can cause regret？
(Didn't I)
And didn't I tell you that your match can be met？
They hurt your pride, yeah and you ache inside
Turned out that you have been taken for a ride
Look at you now
(Look at you)
Now that she has gone
(Ooh, ooh)
You got to raise him all alone
(Look at you)
Although he's not your own
You must give him
(Ooh, ooh)
All your love and a happy home
Tell me, are you man enough？
Are you strong enough？
Can you take the strain？
Can you bear the pain？
All I wanna know is you man enough？
Are you strong enough？
Can you take the strain？
Can you bear the pain？
You're trapped between a shattered ego
And the child that loves you so
Oh, you're caught in a bad situation
Causing complications
(Didn't I)
Now didn't I tell you love can cause regret？
(Didn't I)
And didn't I tell you your match can be met？
Although you're grieving don't think of leaving
You got to try to make the most of it
Look at you now
(Look at you)
Now that you've found out
(Ooh, ooh)
The child you're raising is not your own
(Look at you)
Tell me, tell me how does it feel now that she's revealed
(Ooh, ooh)
Oh, your pride and joy is not your little boy
Are you man enough？
Are you strong enough？
Can you stay composed？
Can you keep control？
Are you man enough？
Are you strong enough？
Can you take the strain？
Can you bear the pain？
Are you man enough？
Are you strong enough？
Can you stay composed？
Can you keep control？
Are you man enough？
Are you strong enough？
Can you take the strain？
Can you bear the pain？
10.Stick-up
Help!! I've been robbed!!
Stick-up, highway robbery
Stole my love from me-it's a case of grand larceny
Stick-up, highway robbery
It's a felony-heartbreak in the first degree
He walked into my life hungry for love
So sweet and cautiously he chased my love
A devil in disguise, he fooled my heart
Tricked me into the dark, 'HOLD UP!!'-I was shocked
Pulled his charms, took me in his arms
Stole my love, and now he's gone
Stick-up, highway robbery
Stole my love from me-it's a case of grand larceny
Stick-up, highway robbery
It's a felony-heartbreak in the first degree
A thief in the night, he stole my mind
Breaking lover's hearts should be a crime
But he'll return to the scene of the crime
I'll set a tender trap, he'll be unaware
I'll wear a smile down the aisle
'Cause he's the father of my child
Stick-up, highway robbery
Stole my love from me-it's a case of grand larceny
Stick-up, highway robbery
It's a felony-heartbreak in the first degree
Help!! I've been robbed!!
Stick-up, highway robbery
Stole my love from me-it's a case of grand larceny
Stick-up, highway robbery
It's a felony-heartbreak in the first degree
