1.Kiss And Say Goodbye

Lyricist:Winnifred Lovett

{This has got to be the saddest day of my life
I called you here today for a bit of bad news
I won't be able to see you anymore
Because of my obligations and the ties that you have
We've been meeting here everyday
And since this is our last day together
I wanna hold you just one more time
When you turn and walk away, don't look back
I wanna remember you just like this
Let's just kiss and say goodbye}

I had to meet you here today
There's just so many things to say
Please don't stop me 'till I'm through
This is somethin' I hate to do

We've been meeting here so long
I guess what we done, oh was wrong
Please darlin', don't you cry
Let's just kiss and say goodbye

Many months have passed us by
I'm gonna miss you, I can't lie
I've got ties and so do you
I just think this is the thing to do

It's gonna hurt me, I can't lie
Maybe you'll meet, you'll meet another guy
Understand me, oh won't you try, try, try, try, try, try, try?
Let's just kiss an' say goodbye

I'm gonna miss you, I can't lie
Understand me, oh won't you try?
It's gonna hurt me, I can't lie
Take my handkerchief an' wipe your eyes
Maybe you'll find, you'll find another guy
Well let's kiss and say goodbye, pretty baby
Please, don't you cry
Understand me, oh won't you try?
Let's just kiss and say goodbye

3.There's No Me Without You

Lyricist:Edward Bivins

Baby, you are my life
And without you I'm an empty shell

There's no house without a home
And there's no man who wants to be alone
There's no child without a dream
And there's no song without a meaning

That's how I know
There's no me without you
There's no me without you

There's no life without a plan
Every woman wants herself a good man
There's no heartaches without tears
And time just can't go by without the years

That's how I know
There's no me without you
There's no me without you

You know there's no stars without the night
Huh, and there's no wrong without a right
And there's no good without a bad
And when one man is happy, the other man is sad

Oh oh, that's how I know
There's no me without you
There's no me without you
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

That's how I know
(That's how I know, baby, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
There's no me without you
(My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my)

That's how I know
(There's no house, there's no house without a home)
That's how I know
(And there's no man, no man who wants to be alone)


4.Girl of My Dream

Lyricist:Leo Graham, James Mack

Girl of my dream, you are
Girl of my dream

Oh, the apple of my eye, you're my cherry pie
The sweet taste of wine at the right time
If someone would ask me why
I just can't deny you've had to leave

Girl of my dream, you are
Girl of my dream

Oh, you're my moment to remember
That day in September
Again and again, I feel it in my heart
If someone should ask me why
I just can't deny

The love we share, the ecstasy
As one we were completely
I need you, I need you

Girl of my dream, you are

The love we share, the ecstasy
As one we were completely
Oh, I need you, I need you

Girl of my dream, you are
Girl of my dream, you are
You are, you are my dream

Girl of my dream
Girl of my dream

Apple of my eye, you're my cherry pie
Girl of my dream, girl of my dream
Girl of my dream

The girl of my dream, yes you are
You are, you are, you are, you are
You are the girl of my dream

The girl of my dream
You are, you are, you are, you are
You are the girl of my dream


5.I Kinda Miss You

Lyricist:Winfred Lovett

Another sad day in my life
Nothing is the same since you've been gone
This old house is not the same anymore
I'm sitting and writing a letter to you

Knowing that you will probably never receive it
But I miss you, I walk by myself
I talk to myself, I sleep by myself
Ooh baby, I miss you

Dirty dishes in the sink, mmm, hmm
Lots of time for me to think
Didn't think, didn't think I knew the tear
It's been a week but oh, it seems like a year

This house is not the same, ooh, since you've been gone
I never thought that you would stay so long
You haven't written, woah, you never never call
I hope you're okay but that ain't all

I kinda miss you
I kinda miss you

Heard a noise, was someone else, yes, it was
Walked the dogs all by myself
I go to bed, I go to bed but I can't sleep
I'm so depressed, I can't even eat

We had a fight, woo yeah, I lost my head
I said some things I shouldn't have said
If you miss me, woo yeah, like I miss you
Come on back, come on back, let's start anew

I kinda miss you, I kinda miss you
I kinda miss you, I, you know, I miss you
I kinda miss you, mmm, hmm
I, I kinda miss you, I, you know, I miss you
I kinda miss you, you know, I miss you

Ooh baby, ooh, I miss you, I seal this letter,
I seal this letter with a tear, baby, I miss you
The kiss and the goodbye, I wish I could
I wish I could do it all over again, oh baby, I miss you

Oh, I kinda miss you
I kinda miss you, I kinda miss you
I was wrong, people are talking
Give me one more chance, got to want to


6.Hurt

Lyricist:Jimmie Crane, Al Jacobs

You made a promise
And you broke it
He could never love you like I do
Ooh, I feel so bad

Hurt, to think
That you lied to me
Hurt, way down
Deep inside of me

You said your love was true
And we'd never part
Now, you've found someone new
And it breaks my heart
I'm hurt

Hurt, much more
Than you'll ever know
Hurt, because
I still love you so

But even though you hurt me
Like no one else could do
I would never, never hurt you

Even though you've taken
Your love from me
Baby, I want you back
I'll never hurt you

I'll never hurt you
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
I'll never hurt you
I'll never hurt you


7.Am I Losing You

Lyricist:Alvin Fields, Barbara Moore, Doug Stender

Your arms don't go around me
When I reach out for you
And your eyes don't hold the fire
That they once used to do

Little signs of distance, little signs of distance
Little signs of distance, little signs of distance
Tell me we are through

Little signs of distance, little signs of distance
Little signs of distance, little signs of distance
Tell me, I'm losing you

And it feels I can't go on, am I just no longer strong?
Oh, it feels, I can't go on, am I losing you
Am I losing you, am I losing you?

My kisses and cries of love, no longer warm your heart
And I can't seem to find a way, baby
To make your laughter start, oh

Little signs of distance, little signs of distance
Little signs of distance, little signs of distance
Tell me we are through

Little signs of distance, little signs of distance
Little signs of distance, little signs of distance
Tell me, I'm losing you

And it feels I can't go on
Am I just no longer strong?
Oh, it feels I can't go on

Am I losing you?
Am I losing you?
Am I losing you?

Little signs, little signs, hey
Well, it seems like I'm losing you


8.Everyday People

Lyricist:Stewart Sylvester

I am everyday people, yeah, yeah
I am everyday people, listen

Sometimes I'm right and I can be wrong
My own beliefs are in my song
The butcher, the banker, the drummer and then
Makes no difference what group I'm in

'Cause I am everyday people, yeah, yes
I am everyday people, yeah, yeah

There is a blue one
Who can't accept the green one
For living with a fat one
How come I got to be a skinny one
Different strokes for different folks

And so on and so on
And scooby dooby, dooby, dooby-doo
We gotta live together

I am no better and neither are you
We're basically the same whatever we do
You love me, you hate me, you know me and then
Can't figure out what bag I'm in

'Cause I am everyday people, yeah, yes
I am everyday people, yeah, yeah

There is a long hair
That doesn't like the short hair
For bein' such a rich one
That will not help the poor one
Different strokes for different folks

And so on and so on
And scooby dooby doo-doo-doo
We gotta live together

There is a yellow one
That won't accept the black one
And won't accept the red one
And won't accept the white one

There is a long hair
That doesn't like the short hair
For bein' with a rich one
That will not help the poor one

Different strokes for different folks
We got to live together
(We gotta live together)
We got to live together
We got to live together
(No matter what color you are)

We got to live together
(We got to live together)
We got to live together
(We got to live together)

We got to live together
(Makes no difference who you are)
We got to live together

'Cause I am everyday people, yeah, yeah
Oh yeah, I am everyday people
I, I, I, everyday people
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I am everyday people
I am everyday people
I am everyday people
We got to live together

I am everyday people
I am everyday people
We got to live together

Everyday people
We got to live together
Everyday people

I am everyday people
Everyday people

Ooh, ooh, yeah

Honey, you are my shining star
Don't you go away
Wanna be right here where you are
Until my dying day

So many have tried
Tried to find a love like yours and mine
Girl, don't you realize how you hypnotize
