5.When You're Young and in Love
Lyricist:Van Mccoy
Spring in the air
(Filled with love)
There's magic ev'rywhere
When you're young and in love
Life seems to be
(Just a dream)
A world of fantasy
When you're young and in love
Each night seems just like
The fourth of July
When stars spangle the sky
The moon at night
(Shines so bright)
Seems to shine twice as bright
When you're young and in love
Ooh, dreams can come true
(Try a dream)
If you believe they do
When you're young and in love
Though many teardrops are bound to fall
True love can conquer all
When you're, when you're young and in love
(Look and you'll find)
Ooh, ooh, yeah
(There's no mountain you can't climb)
When you're young and in love
Though many teardrops are bound to fall
True love can conquer all
When you're, when you're young and in love
(Young and in love)
So in love
(Young and in love)
Ooh, yeah
(Young and in love)
(Young and in love)
I feel so good
(Young and in love)
(Young and in love)
(Young and in love)
6.My Baby Must Be a Magician
Lyricist:William Jr Robinson
You are under my power
It is the power of love
Eyes that hypnotize
And all it takes is just once glance
Just one look at him
Puts me in a lover's trance
Now listen, no rabbits in his hand
No pigeons up his sleeve
But you better believe
When I prove he can do so much
My baby must be a magician
'Cause he's sure got the magic touch
Oh, my morale was low
Then he appeared just like a genie
His love has the power
He's my private great Houdini
No reading decks of cards
No cords that disappear
No special gear
Like Alladin's lamp and such
But my baby must be a magician
'Cause he's sure got the magic touch
Whenever I'm feeling bad
My baby simply kisses me
And then Presto, Chango, Alakazam
I'm alright again, oh, yes I am, yes I am alright
No mystic crystal ball
No long black flowing cape
But I can't escape
From his tender loving touch
Oh my baby must be a magician
'Cause he's sure got the magic touch
Say my baby must be a magician
'Cause he's sure got the magic touch
7.I'll Keep Holding On
Lyricist:Hunter, Stevenson
I'll keep on holdin' on, oh yes I will, I'll keep on holdin' on
I know that you're the kind of guy, you've got too much pride
You're scared to love someone, run and hide
Each and every day, and each and every way
My love is growin' stronger
And I know that you can't hold on much longer
When there's no place left to hide
I'll still be by your side
'Cause I'll be, waiting, oh yes, sure 'nough
Looking for a chance, a chance to make you mine
I'll keep on holdin' on
I know you're braggin' to your friends that you can't be caught
Baby, you don't know, so it's time that you were taught
So love, you'd better plan to make your final stand
No matter where you run now
I'll hold on till my will to resist is gone
Till I get you where I want you
There, love, I'm gonna want you
Waiting, oh yes, sure 'nough
Looking for a chance, a chance to make you mine
I'll keep on holdin' on, No matter where you run, boy
I'll keep on holdin' on, No matter where you hide, boy
I'll keep on holdin' on, Oh you'll never get away, boy
I'll keep on holdin' on
8.Strange I Know
Lyricist:Dozier, Gorman, Holland
It's strange, I know, but that's the way it goes
Leaving you this way, I'm sorry to say
That my love has faded, faded away
It happened while you were gone
You stayed away too long
You didn't write or even call
I thought you didn't care at all
I was sad as I could be
The same boy who's fella to me
But oh how I tried to resist him, oh how I tried to resist him
But my heart told me to keep him, my heart told me to keep him
It's strange, I know, but that's the way it goes
Leaving you this way, I'm sorry to say
When you get home, I'll be gone
Asked my papa for your letter that I put aside
When you finish the letter, I'll be Eddie's bride
It's strange, I know, but that's the way it goes
Leaving you this way, but that's the way it goes
It's strange, I know
But that's they way, that's they way, that's the way, that's the
way it goes
Oh it's strange I know
9.The Hunter Gets Captured by the Game
Lyricist:William Smokey Robinson
Everyday things change
And the world puts on a new face
Certain things rearrange
And this ol' world seems like a new place
Oh, yeah, secretly I've been trailin' you
Like a fox that prays on the rabbit
I had to get you and so I knew
I had to learn your ways and habits
Ooh, you were the catch that I was after
But I looked up and I was in your arms
And I knew I had been captured
What's this ol' world comin' to
Things just ain't the same
Anytime the hunter
Gets captured by the game
Oh yeah
Oh yeah, I had laid such a tender trap
Hoping you my crawl into it
But love hit me like a sudden slap
One kiss and then I knew it
Ooh, my plan didn't work out
Like I thought
'Cause I had laid my trap for you
But it seems like I got caught
What's this ol' world comin' to
Things just ain't the same
Anytime the hunter
Gets captured by the game
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
10.Too Many Fish In The Sea
Lyricist:Eddie Holland, Norman Whitfield
Look here, girls
Take this advice and remember always in life
Into each heart, some tears must fall
Though you love and lose, you must stand tall
'Cause we all got to cry sometimes, I said, sigh sometimes
Pull yourself together, no use crying forever
Because there's too many fish in the sea
Too many fish in the sea
I said, there's short ones, tall ones, fine ones, kind ones
Too many fish in the sea
My mother once told me something
And every word is true
Don't waste your time on a fella
Who doesn't love you
He'll only mislead you
Only grieve you
Don't worry about him, let it go
Do without him
Because there's too many fish in the sea
Too many fish in the sea
I said, there's short ones, tall ones, fine ones, kind ones
Too many fish in the sea
Well, if the fish isn't on your line
Bait your hook and keep on trying
Don't let him get you down
There's other boys around
Because there's too many fish in the sea
Too many fish in the sea
I said, there's short ones, tall ones, fine ones, kind ones
Too many fish in the sea
I don't want nobody that don't want me
'Cause there's too many fish in the sea
Ain't gonna love nobody that don't love me, now
'Cause there's too many fish in the sea
I don't need nobody that don't need me
'Cause there's too many fish in the sea
I don't want nobody that don't want me, now
'Cause there's too many fish in the sea
I don't want nobody that don't want me
'Cause there's too many fish in the sea
I don't need nobody that don't need me
'Cause there's too many fish in the sea
11.Someday, Someway
Lyricist:Lamont Dozier, Freddie Gorman, Eddie Holland
Whoa, whoa
Someday
(Someday, ooh)
Someway
(Someway, ooh)
I'm gonna' tell you, how much you mean to me
Not now, not for a little while
I've got to be make sure that your love is pure
So you, won't take advantage of me
Capture my heart and set me free
Someday
(Someday, ooh)
Someway
(Someway, ooh)
When you prove to me that it's true love that you feel for me
Then I'll, then I'll know that your love is pure
And I'll be sure that you, won't take advantage of me
Capture my heart and set me free
Not now
Not now, ooh
Not for a little while
I hate to take a chance
And lose a perfect romance
I know you wonder, how long will it be?
Before I tell you, how much you mean to me
But before I let myself go I've just gotta' know
If your love, dear, is really real
Someday
(Someday, ooh)
Someway

Whoa

12.My Daddy Knows Best
Lyricist:Berry Gordy
My daddy told me
That boys may say some things that aren't true
Yeah, they promise many sweet things
That they never intend to do
Whoa, you say your love is strong
And you'd never do me wrong
But let me tell you that
My daddy told me
To open up my eyes and not be blind
Well, 'cause every time I look at you
Everything you do seems so fine
Whoa, I love you so but I have to let you go
Unless you get out and get a job
Whoa, get out and get a job
I'm gonna wait 'til you pass the test
'Cause my daddy knows best
Oh, my daddy knows best now, oh
He doesn't want me to make, no, no, no, no, no, no
The same mistakes, no, no, no, no
He says, 'Romance without finance
Can be a nuisance'
I need your loving but my daddy told me
Yes, he told me that our love is fine
Whoa, but don't let it mislead you
'Cause daddy also said that love is blind
While you're in pool rooms
You should be in school rooms
And get out and get a job
Whoa, get out and get a job
I'm gonna wait 'til you pass the test
'Cause my daddy knows best
Oh, I don't care what you say
We've got to do it his way
Don't say that he's mean
I'll have to tell him everything
13.Here I Am Baby
Lyricist:William Jr Robinson
Here I am, baby
The one who swore to never yield
Here I am, baby
The one who swore to play the field
Said I wouldn't let no man tie me down, not a single one now
Wasn't gonna ever give my heart to a mother's son now
Many a day I proudly stated the man for me ain't been created
But here I am, baby
The one who was so love defiant
Here I am, baby
The one who was so self reliant
Said I wouldn't depend on nothing else, I'll be independent
Make a fortune all my own and I know how to spend it
I'd be so stationary, love would be unnecessary
But here I am
Here I am, baby, baby, baby
You won me and I do concede
Here I am, baby, baby, baby
I find you're what I really need
Said you've got me hanging on a string, don't you let me drop
now
Since you started loving me, don't you ever stop now
Don't wanna be loved by another, I ain't going another bother
Here I am baby, baby, baby
Take me 'cause I'm yours alone
Here I am baby, baby, baby
Yours to call your very own
Take me 'cause I'm yours alone
14.Forever
Lyricist:Lamont Dozier, Freddie Gorman, Brian Holland
Darlin' forever, forever, you can break my heart, forever
If you want to, I'll play the part of a fool, just to be with
you forever
Darlin' forever, forever, you can taunt me names
Take my love for granted, but I'll always be just a fool
If I, if I could be with you
I'll be your slave for the rest of, of my days
Love you more in so, so many ways, just to be with you
Thrills me through and through
And darlin' forever, forever, you can taunt me names
Take my love for granted, but I'll always be just a fool
If I, if I could be with you
Darlin' forever, forever, no matter what you say I do
I'll always

16.Too Strong To Be Strung Along
Lyricist:Lamont Dozier, Freddie Gorman, Brian Holland
Feel the bass knives
Pass your flesh, enter your bone
Solitude in your dance floor rhythm zone
Let your body go, just don't follow the letter
Do what you fee, l the more absurd the better
Don't be afraid whatever you got, show
Flaunt your personality, let me know your style
You could make a mean hand out of what
You been dealt, 311 on wax, wax on felt
Feelin' real great 'cause the weather is mild
So you reevaluate your personal style
What makes you laugh stand apart
Makes you feel good what's in your heart
Feelin' real great 'cause the weather is mild
So you check us out on tour
'Cause you're likin' the style
Drums the bass, the master plan
Nice guitars the mics in our hands
Strong all along, strong all along

For the hard of listening, you think you're taking
The cake but what's left icing
To every foundation and every crew

Sendin' out props straight from us to you
To every foundation and every crew
From the Malibus hores to the Brooklyn zoo

You can touch me with your fresh aura
'Cause your energy be phenomena
Now move the people and then olla
Take on the love and the good karma
Strong all along, strong all along
Come to find out the arm of the truth is long
