5.Use To Be My Girl
Lyricist：Kenneth Gamble, Leon Huff
Good lovin'
The girls got plenty good lovin'
Ask me how I know and I'll tell you so
She use to be my girl, I
I respect her, when she was mine
I used to neglect her
She wanted more than I could give
But as long as I live
She'll be my girl, she
She use to be my girl
She use to be my girl
She had a charming personality
The girl was so right for me
She's my girl
And if I had the chance
I know I would take her back
As a matter of fact
Right away that day
Not only good lookin', the girl was so smart
You can't beat her cookin'
Ask her how I know and I'll tell you so
She use to be my girl
Deep down inside I still love her
I would place no one above her
She's warm and sensitive
For as long as I live, she'll be my girl
And if I had the chance
I'd take her back, God knows
As a matter of fact
Right away, by today
Good lovin'
The girl's got plenty good lovin'
Ask me how I know and I'll tell you so
She use to be my girl, my girl,

7.Lipstick Traces (On A Cigarette)
Lyricist：Allen Toussaint
Don't ever leave me
Don't ever leave me
Your pretty brown eyes
Your wavy hair
I won't go home no more
'Cause you're not there
I'm telling you now
Like I told you before
I'm so in love with you
Don't leave me no more
Don't ever leave me
Lipstick traces on a cigarette
Every memory lingers with me yet
I've got it bad like I told you before
I'm so in love with you
Don't leave me no more
(Leave me no more)
(Won't you come on home？)
Won't you come on home？
(Won't you come back home？)
Won't you come back home？
I'm crazy about you
Can't do without you
Won't you come back home？
Lipstick traces on a cigarette
Every memory lingers with me yet
I've got it bad like I told you before
I'm so in love with you
Don't leave me no more
(Don't ever leave me)
Oh, yeah
I've got it bad like I told you before
I'm so in love with you

8.Something For Nothing
Lyricist：Tommy Faragher, Lotti Golden
They wanna get something
They wanna get something
They wanna get something
Something for nothing
Something
They wanna get something
They're trying to get something
Something for nothing
Easy come, easy go
What I'm trying to tell you is worth it's weight in gold
Sometimes it's hard to know who you can trust
They call you brother and leave you in the dust
It takes all kinds of people to make this world go round
And everybody know it's time for you now, now
I'm trying to tell you, I'm know it all too well
They don't care about you or me, they only have all to tell
They wanna get something
They wanna get something
They wanna get something
Something for nothing
Something
They wanna get something
They're trying to get something
Something for nothing
Something for nothing
Honest work for honest pay
Sometimes I wonder, does it ever work that way
Down and up of what they can get
Making a living off of other people's sweat
It takes all kinds of people to make this world go 'round
And everybody know it's time before you now, now
I'm trying to tell you, make no mistake
They don't care about you or me, always on the take
They wanna get something
They wanna get something
They wanna get something
Something for nothing
Something
They wanna get something
They're trying to get something
Something for nothing
Something for nothing
That's a part of my life
Something for nothing
Something for nothing
Don't you forget
Something for nothing
They're always out to get
Something for nothing
Something
Something for nothing
They're only out for what they can get
Once you got the cash, they got no regrets
They sell drugs to the poor, arms for war
They don't care, here's the score
They build nuclear plants and cracks in the wall
And they get so sucker to take the pot
It's all the same, the power game
This is greed, my friend, by any other name
It takes all kinds of people to make the world go 'round
So you better beware, so you better beware, yes, you better
beware
I'm gonna prove you wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong
They wanna get something
They wanna get something
Something for nothing
They wanna get something
They wanna get something
They're trying to get something
Something for nothing
They wanna get something
Something for nothing
They wanna get something
Something for nothing
They wanna get something
Something for nothing
They wanna get something
Something for nothing
They wanna get something
Something for nothing
They wanna get something
Something for nothing

10.Brandy
Lyricist：Joseph B. Jefferson, Charles B. Simmons
Sittin' by the open fire place in my favorite dungarees
Played a few bars of a melody and it sounded sweet to me
I thought I get up and take a look around but my feet got in the
way
Stumbled to the floor she was right in the door, I could see her
face
But how could it be, she ran away from me
My best friend's gone, I'm so all alone
I kinda miss you Brandy, I'm so all alone
When are you coming back home？
I really miss you Brandy, missing you everyday
Are you coming home to stay？
'Cause I love you Brandy, oh yeah yeah yeah
Sippin' on a cherry soda pop, building houses made of sand
Like a little child with a fantasy, just a fraction of a man
But I was in love when they put it down
Oh, my doorstep in the rain
I could feel the love coming to my heart, through my window pane
But how could I know, she was just up and gone
My best friend gone, I'm so all alone
I really miss you Brandy, I'm so all alone
When are you coming back home？
I really miss you Brandy, missing you everyday
Are you coming home to stay？
I kinda miss you Brandy
When are you coming back home？ I'm so all alone
I really miss you Brandy, missing you everyday
Are you coming home to stay？
Oh, I really miss you Brandy, I'm so all alone

13.Wildflower (Live)
Lyricist：Douglas Fraser Edwards, Thomas David Richardson
Oh oh yeah, what a song, what a song to sing
And I'm singin' my song, yeah, yeah, yeah
Sing a song, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah
She faced the hardest time you would imagine
And many times her eyes fought back the tears, yeah, yeah
And when her youthful world was about to fall in
Each time her slender shoulders bore the weight of all her fears
And a sorrow, no one hears, still rings in midnight silence in
her ear
Let her cry for she's a lady, let her dream, she's a child
Let the rain fall down upon her, she's a free and gentle flower
growin' wild
And if by chance I should hold her, hold her
Let me, let me hold her for a little while
And if I had but one possession
I would take her from the garden to be mine, oh, oh, yeah, yeah
Be careful how you touch her for she might awaken
And sleep is the only freedom that the little girl know
And when you walk into her eyes, she won't believe
The way she's always payin' for a debt she never, never owed
And the silent wind still blows but only she can hear
And though she goes
Let her cry, ah, for she's a lady, let her dream, she's a child
Let the rain fall down upon her, she's a free and gentle flower
growin' wild
Let her cry, cry for she's a lady
Let her dream and dream and dream and dream, she's a child
Let the rain fall down upon her, she's a free and gentle flower
growin' wild
She is, she is, she's a free and gentle flower, yeah, yeah
I'ma tell the world about my wildflower, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Growin', growin', growin', yeah, yeah, yeah
Hoo, hoo, ooh, ooh, hoo, hoo, ooh, yeah, yeah
Growin', growin', growin', yeah, growin' wild
She's a flower growin', growin' wild
She's a flower growin', growin' wild
She's a flower growin', growin' wild
She's a flower growin' wild
Wild, wild, growin' wild
Wild, wild, la la la, growin' wild
Wild, wild, la la la, growin' wild

16.Wildflower
Lyricist：Douglas Fraser Edwards, Thomas David Richardson
Oh, yeah
What a song, what a song to sing
And I'm singin' my song, yeah, yeah, yeah
Sing a song, yeah, yeah, yeah
She faced the hardest times you would imagine
And many times her eyes fought back the tears, yeah, yeah
And when her youthful world was about to fall in
Each time her slender shoulders
Bore the weight of all her fears and a sorrow no one hear
Still rings in midnight silence in her ear
Let her cry for she's a lady
Let her dream, she's a child
Let the rain fall down upon her
She's a free and gentle flower growin' wild
And if by chance I should hold her, hold her
Let me, let me hold her for a little while
And if I had but one possession, possession
I would take her from the garden to be mine, oh, yeah, yeah
Be careful how you touch her for she night awaken
And sleep is the only freedom that the little girl knows
And when you walk into your eyes, you won't believe
The way she's always payin'
For a debt she never, never owed
And the silent wind still blows
But only she can hear, and so she goes
Let her cry, oh, for she's a lady
Let her dream, she is a child
Let the rain fall down upon her
She's a free and gentle flower growin' wild
Let her cry, cry for she's a lady
Let her dream and dream and dream and dream, she's a child
Let the rain fall down upon her
She's a free and gentle flower growin' wild
She's, she's, she's a free and gentle flower, yeah, yeah
I'ma tell the world about my wildflower, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Growin', growin', growin', yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh, yeah, yeah
Growin', growin', growin', yeah, growin' wild
She's a flower growin', growin' wild
She's a flower growin', growin' wild
She's a flower growin', growin' wild
She's a flower growin' wild
Wild, wild, la-la, growin' wild
Wild, wild, la-la, growin' wild
Wild, wild, la-la, growin' wild

But in my world that pot of gold is in your eye
And in your arms my happiness lies

26.Family Reunion
Lyricist：Kenneth Gamble, Leon Huff
Well
It's so nice to see
All the folks you love, together
Sittin' and talkin' 'bout
All the things that's been goin' down
It's been a long, long time
Since we had a chance to get together
Nobody knows the next time we see each other
Maybe years and years from now
Family reunion, got to have
A family reunion
Family reunion
It's so nice to come together
(Come together)
To get together
I wish grandma could see
The whole family
I sure miss her face
And her warm and tender embrace
And if grandpa was here

To see what he has done
All the off springs from his daughters and sons
A family reunion, gonna have

To come together
(Come together)
To get together
You know the family is the solution
To the world's problems today
Now, let's take a look at the family
In the family the father is like the head
The leader, the director
Not domineering but showing love, guidance
For everyone else in the family
Now, if we could get all the fathers of the world
To stand up and be fathers, that would be great
Then we have mothers
Who are the right arm of the father
There's supposed to, to, to do the cooking
Raise the children, do the sewing
And help the father to guide and direct
Then there's the son
The son, most sons are like imitators of their father
So, we're back again to the father
If he is guiding in the right way
The son is definitely gonna be alright
Then we have the daughter watching her mother
Be, because sooner or later, she's gonna be a mother
And she'll have her own sons and daughters
It don't, it don't just stop there with the family or
Of, of yours or mine, it's a universal family
Under one divine purpose and one Divine Father
That is, if we all come together
No matter what color, race, creed
'Cause that's all in the head
Whether you wanna believe it or not 'cause you'll bleed
Family, family, family reunion
It'll be nice, so nice, so nice
27.Cry Together
Lyricist：Kenneth Gamble, Leon Huff
You know, me and my woman
We've been goin' through a lot of changes for about six months
or so
It's been real hard to talk to one another
You know a relationship ain't nothin' without communication
How we were lying in bed, the both of us lookin' at the ceiling
overhead
Eyes wide open about three O'clock in the mornin'
I said, 'Baby, we can't go on this way'
She said, 'You're right'
I said, 'I know you love me and I love you'
Then we start holding each other
And I felt a tear roll down my face
Last night me and my woman
We cried, cried together
Said we cry, cry, cry
We cry together, oh, oh
Ain't nothin' wrong with you, no
There ain't nothin' wrong with me, uh uh
We're not the only people in the world
Who go through ups and downs
All we have to do is talk
We can work it out
Oh, oh, let me kiss your eyes
Let me wipe your tears away
Let me hold you tight
Tomorrow we'll feel better â~cause it's a brand new day
Oh, last night me and my woman
We cried together
Said we cry, cry, cry, cry
We cry together, oh, oh
Now we had times when we'd laughed hearty
We'd even go out on the town and we'd party, party, party
Every day the sun doesn't shine
Sometimes it has to rain
Just like we enjoy the pleasure
We have to stand the pain
Oh, let me kiss your eyes
Let me wipe the tears away
Oh, let me hold you close
Let's talk to each other, I wanna hear what you gotta say
Oh, last night, sweet last night, me and my woman
We cried together
Said we cry, cry, cry
We cry together, together
And then we, and then we, and then we
And then we made love, love, love, ooh
Love like we never made love before
You know we stopped huggin' each other and kiss
And I wiped the tears from my face
And I'm love all over the place
Said we cry
There's nothin' wrong with you
And there ain't nothin' wrong with me
We're not the only people in the world who go through ups and
downs
And changes and turn arounds

Hit and run, gonna be a son of a gun
Hit and run, but it could be fun
I don't wanna love nobody
Don't want us get anything
I just may not be ready
To fly down with a wedding ring
All I want is a one night affair, you're right
A one night affair and that's started one
Hit and run
Hit and run, could be fun
I have been a lonely woman
Oh, try understand
All I want is a one night affair
Sounds in a hurry
A one night affair
But you don't have to worry
I'll hit and run
And I know you been lonely too
That's why you understand
A broken heart's so hard on a woman
One of these days I'll be alright
If you just let me love you tonight
It may sound a little temporary
Sometimes I feel it's so necessary
I said a one night affair, well, I do declare
A one night affair, won't hurt nobody
Hit and run, gonna be a son of a gun
Hit and run, could be fun
Hit and run, son of a gun
Could be fun
A one night affair
Sounds in a hurry
A one night affair
But don't you worry
Hit and run, gonna be a son of a gun
Hit and run, it maybe fun
A one night affair
A one night affair this time tonight
Hit and run, gonna be a son of a gun
Hey, 'cause it could be fun
32.Christmas Ain't Christmas
Lyricist：Kenny Gamble, Leon Huff
Christmas just ain't Christmas
Without the one you love
New Years just ain't New Years
Without the one you love
Underneath the mistletoe
I saw a face all aglow
Last year this time
Now I'm staying home alone
And my house is not a home
Without that girl of mine
Christmas just ain't Christmas
Without the one you love
And New Years just ain't New Years
Without the one you love
Twelve o'clock and all is well
And I was doing oh, so swell
Last year, this time
Goin' shopping with friends together
Making vows to leave each other, never
It was a waste of time
Christmas just ain't Christmas
Without the one you love
New Years just ain't New Years
Without the one you love
Christmas just ain't Christmas
Without the one you love
New Years just ain't New Years
Without the one you love
Christmas just ain't Christmas
Without the one you love
New Years just ain't New Years
Without the one you love
Christmas just ain't Christmas
Without the one you love

Just to see, just to see me through

Monday to Thursday
I'm dead on my feet
Most of the time too tired to eat
When I try to read the paper
I fall fast asleep
But as soon as Friday rolls around
I lay all my weekly burdens down
I put on my glad rags
And paint the town
(Living for the weekend)
Friday night alive
(Living for the weekend)
Said, I'm living for the weekend

Don't stop when I party down
Party hard, party down
Party hard, party down
Soon as on Monday
Rolls around again
I got to put all that
Partying to an end
Got to solve that same old grind
With those five day week
Sometimes, I get frustrated
Through the day, take off early
And a cut in pay
At the time, I don't really care
Because I done took
All that I can bear
(Living for the weekend)
(Living for the weekend)
(Living for the weekend)
That's when I party down
Party hard, party down
39.Emotionally Yours
Lyricist：Bob Dylan
Come baby, find me, come baby
Remind me of where I once begun
Come baby, show me, show me you know me
Tell me you're the one
I could be learning, you could be yearning
To see behind closed doors
But I will always be emotionally yours
Come baby, rock me, come baby
Lock me into the shadows of your heart
Come baby, teach me, come baby
Reach me, let the music start
I could be dreaming but I keep believing
You're the one I'm livin' for
And I will always be emotionally yours
It's like my whole life never happened
When I see you, it's as if I never had a thought
I know this dream, it might be crazy
But it's the only one I've got
Come baby, shake me, come baby
Take me, I would be satisfied
Come baby, hold me, come baby
Help me, my arms are open wide
I could be unraveling wherever I'm traveling
Even to foreign shores
But I will always be emotionally yours
40.When the World Is at Peace
Lyricist：Kenneth Gamble, Phil Hurtt, Bunny Sigler
When the world is at peace
When the world is at peace
I can see the day when it's safe to walk the streets
When we learn to care for those lost in poverty
There would be no need for our daughters and our sons
To march up and down the streets, singing we shall overcome
(Do it to me now)
When the worlds at peace will it still be in one piece
I pray for the day when the bombs and the bullets cease
Come let's make a change or leave the world in dust
Lets be the world of love for the ones that follow us
(Do it to me now)
If we learn to love the way we learn to kill
Then love will rule the world and hate would soon be still
Some may say they love but loves a sacrifice
Love is not a state of mind, loves a fact of life
(Do it to me now)
Hate be still
Love get behind me
Peace, what we need
Ha ha, peace is what we need now
Da, da, who's got me？ Who's got me？ Ha
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
Da, da, dayah, da, da, da, da, da, da
Da, da, dayah, da, da, da, da, da, da
Da, da, dy, da, da, da, da, da, da
Who's got me？ Who's got me？
Got to be peace huh？
Da, da, dayah, da, da, da, da, da, da
Da, da, dy, da, da, da, da, da, da
This is where I have a problem
With the rest, good luck

Ask me how I know
And I'll tell you so
She used ta be my girl, my girl
She used ta, she used ta be my girl
She used ta be my girl
50.She Used To Be My Girl
Lyricist：Kenneth Gamble, Leon Huff
Sh-sh-should've, sh-sh-should've
Sh-sh-should've, sh-sh-should've
Good lovin', the girls got pretty good lovin'
Ask me how I know and I'll tell you so
She used to be my girl, my girl
I respect her, when she was mine
I used to neglect her, she wanted more
Than I could give but as long as I live, she'll be my girl
She used to be my girl
She used to be my girl
She had a charming personality
The girl was so right for me, she's my girl
And if I had the chance, I'd take her back
As a matter of fact right away like today
Not only good lookin', the girl was so smart
Can't beat her cooking, ask me how I know？
And I'll tell you so, she used to be my girl
I still love her, I'd place no one above her
