The Supremes 25Th Anniversary Lyrics
1.Are You Sure Love Is The Name Of This Game

(william 'smokey' robinson)

I'll admit that you've been
Playing with my heart
Just like it was a toy
And i've been playing along
And letting you treat me wrong
Because it seems to give you joy

Are you sure love is the name of this game
Are you sure love is the name of this game

For days on end you just stay away
Waitin' for my heart to weaken
It's like we're playing hide and seek
And i'm the one who's always seeking

Are you sure love is the name of this game
I wanna know
Are you sure l-o-v-e love is the name of this game

Well if everything's right
And uptight
How come the heartaches keep repeating
With every beat my heart is beating
Now can it be that you've been cheating
Cheating on me

Now how come you keep on
Telling me lies
Filling my life with sorrow
Don't know what to expect
From your affection
It's here today and gone tomorrow

Are you sure love, love, love is the name of this game
I wanna know
Are you sure l-o-v-e love is the name of this game


2.Baby Love

(brian holland/lamont dozier/edward holland, jr.)

Ooh baby love, my baby love
I need you, oh how i need you
But all you do is treat me bad
Break my heart and leave me sad
Tell me, what did i do wrong
To make you stay away so long

'cause baby love, my baby love
Been missing ya, miss kissing ya
Instead of breaking up
Let's do some kissing and making up
Don't throw our love away
In my arms why don't you stay
Need ya, need ya
Baby love, ooh, baby love

Baby love, my baby love
Why must we seperate, my love
All of my whole life through
I never loved no one but you
Why you do me like you do
I get this need

Ooh, ooh, need to hold you
Once again, my love
Feel your warm embrace, my love
Don't throw our love away

Please don't do me this way
Not happy like i used to be
Loneliness has got the best of me
My love, my baby love

I need you, oh how i need you
Why you do me like you do
After i've been true to you
So deep in love with you

Baby, baby, ooh 'til it's hurtin' me
'til it's hurtin' me
Ooh, baby love
Don't throw our love away
Don't throw our love away


3.Back In My Arms Again

(brian holland/lamont dozier/edward holland, jr.)

All day long i hear my telephone ring
Friends calling giving their advice
From the boy i love
I should break away
'cause heartaches he'll bring one day

I lost him once through friends advice
But it's not gonna happen twice
'cause all advice ever's gotten me
Was many long and sleepless nights

Ooh! but now
He's back in my arms again
Right by my side
I got him back in my arms again
So satisfied

It's easy for friends to say
Let him go
But i'm the one
Who needs him so
It's his love that makes me strong
Without him i can't go on
This time i'll life my life at ease
Being happy lovin' whom i please
And each time we make romance
I'll be thankfull for a second chance

Ooh! cause
He's back in my arms again
Right by my side
I got him back in my arms again
So satisfied

How can mary tell me what to do
When she lost her love so true?
And flo, she don't know
'cause the boy she loves is a romeo
I listened once to my friends advice
But it's not gonna happen twice
'cause all advice ever's gotten me
Was many long and sleepless nights

Ooh! i got him
Back in my arms again
Right by my side
I got him back in my arms again
So satisfied

Ooh! i'm satisfied yeah
So satisfied

Hand in hand walking through the sand
Watching the surfers

If sidewalk surfing is not your style
Come on, dance the jerk a while

You can go and surf the ocean
Gonna have a fun loving time
Gonna play in the sunshine

So come on, come on
Come on to the beach ball with me
Come on, come on
Come on to the beach ball with me
Come on, come on
Come on to the beach ball with me

9.Come See About Me

(brian holland/lamont dozier/edward holland, jr.)

I've been crying
'cause i'm lonely (for you)
Smiles have all turned to tears
But tears won't wash away the fears
That you're never ever gonna return
To ease the fire that within me burns

It keeps me crying baby for you
Keeps me sighin' baby for you
So won't you hurry ?
Come on boy, see about me
(come see about me)
See about you baby

I've given up my friends just for you
My friends are gone
And you have too
No peace shall i find
Until you come back
And be mine
No matter what you do or say
I'm gonna love you anyway

Keep on crying baby for you
I'm gonna keep sighin' baby for you
So come on hurry
Come on and see about me
(come see about me)
See about you baby

Sometime's up
Sometime's down
My life's so uncertain
With you not around
From my arms you maybe out of reach
But my heart says you're here to keep

Keeps me crying baby for you
Keep on, keep on crying baby for you
So won't you hurry
Come on boy, see about me (come see about me)
See about you baby (come see about me)
You know i'm so lonely (come see about me)
I love you only (come see about me)
See about your baby (come see about me)
Hurry, hurry


10.Forever Came Today

Suddenly, my world stood still.
My life was then fulfilled
As you gently touched my hand
I knew that we had layed a plan
For everlasting love
That i've been forever dreaming of

Fifth paragraph:

Darling
Ooh, my darling
Make me yours
Let your kiss touch my face
And tell me love has led me
Into this place, to your warm embrace
And our happiness

Thanks to you, my search has ended
And i want the world to se
How gently love has shined on me
With everlasting love
That i've been forever dreaming of


11.Heaven Must Have Sent You

(brian holland/lamont dozier/edwardholland, jr.)

I've cried through many endless nights
While holding my pillow tight
Then you came into my lonely days
With your tender and your sweet ways
Now i don't know where you come from, baby
Don't know where you've been, my baby
Heaven must have sent you, honey
Into my arms
Now in the mornin' when i awake
There's a smile on my face
You've touched my heart with gladness
Wiped away all my sadness
So long i've needed love right near me
A soft voice to cheer me
Heaven must have sent you, baby
Into my life

It's heaven in your arms
Boy, it's the sweetness of your charms
Makes me love you more each day
In your arms i wanna stay

Wanna thank you for the joy you brought me
Thank you for the things you taught me
Thank you for holding me close
When i needed you the most

Now i don't know much about you, baby
But i can't live without you, baby
Heaven must have sent you, baby
To love only me

It's heaven in your arms
Boy, it's the sweetness of your charms
Makes me love you more each day
In your arms i wanna stay

Wanna thank you for the joy you brought me
Thank you for the things you taught me
Thank you for holding me close
When i needed you the most

It's heaven in your arms
Boy, it's the sweetness of your charms
Makes me love you more each day
In your arms i wanna stay

For if you're feeling low
You positively can't go wrong
With a heigh, heigh ho

We dig dig dig dig dig dig dig in our mine the whole day through
To dig dig dig dig dig dig dig is what we like to do
And while we dig we always sing
And when we dig there ain't a better thing
Than a tune, than a tune, you can whistle or can croon

So we dig dig dig dig dig dig dig in our mine the whole day
through
To dig dig dig dig dig dig dig until it's time to quit
And then we warble down the scale
As we go marching down the trail
Right along, right along
To the rhythm of this song

Here we are!
Wow, here we are in the magic kingdom

Heigh ho, heigh ho
To make your troubles go
Just keep on singing
All day long, heigh ho

Heigh ho, heigh ho, heigh ho
For if you're feeling low
You positively can't go wrong
With a heigh ho, heigh ho

Heigh ho, heigh ho
To make your troubles go
Just keep on singing
All day long, heigh ho

Heigh ho, heigh ho, heigh ho
To keep from feeling low
You positively can't go wrong
With a heigh ho, heigh ho

Heigh ho, heigh ho
To make your troubles go
Just keep on singing
All day long, heigh ho

Heigh ho, heigh ho, heigh ho
To keep from feeling low
You positively can't go wrong
With a heigh ho, heigh ho

14.I'm Livin' In Shame

(pam sawyer/r. dean taylor/frank wilson/berry gordy/henry cosby)

Mom was cooking bread
She wore a dirty raggety scarf around her head
Always had her stockings low, rolled to her feet
She just didn't know
She wore a sloppy dress
Oh, no matter how she tried, she always looked a mess
Out of the pot she ate, never used a fork or a dinner plate

I was always so afraid for my uptown friends to see her
Afraid one day when i was grown, that i would be her

Ah, in a college town
Away from home a new identity i found
Said i was born elite, with maids and servants at my feet
I must have been insane
I lied and said momma died on a weekend trip to spain
She never got out of the house, never even boarded a train

Married a guy, was living high
I didn't want him to know her
She a grandson, two years old
That i never even showed her

I'm living in shame
Momma i miss you
I know you're not to blame
Momma i miss you

Came a telegram
Momma passed away while making homemade jam
Before she died, she cried to see me by her side
She always did her best
Ah, cooking, cleaning, always in the same old dress
Working hard down on her knees
Always trying to please

Momma, momma, momma can you hear me?
Momma, momma, momma can you hear me?

I'm living in shame, momma i miss you
I know you've done you're best
Momma i miss you
Won't you forgive me mom?
For all the wrong i've done
I know you've done your best
Oh, i know you've done your very best you could
But i'm never understood
Working hard down on her knees...


15.If I Ruled The World

(leslie bricusse/cyril ornadel)

If i ruled the world
Every day would be
The first day of spring
Every heart would have
A new song to sing
And we'd sing of the joy
Every morning would bring

If i ruled the world
Every man would be
As free as a bird
Every voice would be
A voice to be heard
Take my word
We would treasure each day
That occurred

My world would be
A beautiful place
Where we would weave
Such a wonderful dream
My world would wear
A smile on its face
Like the man in the moon
When the moon beams

If i ruled the world
Every man would say
The world was his friend
There'd be happiness
That no man could end
No my friend
Not if i ruled the world
Every head
Would be held up high
There'd be sunshine
In everyone's sky
If day ever dawned
When i ruled the world
If i ruled the world


16.In And Out Of Love

(brian holland/lamont dozier/edward holland,jr.)

Keep falling in and out of love
In search for what i'm dreaming of
I long to find a love i'm sure about
That certain kind of love that moves all doubts

Keep falling in and out of love
Still searchin' for that special one
To whom i can give my love completely
And feel a lasting love so sweetly

Just when i feel sure love's here to stay
It seems to suddenly just fade away
Can't seem to find that everlasting love
That this heart of mine needs so much of

Keep falling in and out of love
Can't seem to find the lasting kind
It seems i can't find the joy i need
Love always somehow all goes wrong for me

Keep falling in and out of love
Keep falling in and out of love
I keep reaching out for tenderness
Touching a hand that holds emptiness

I'm looking for a love that lingers on
Long after that first kiss is gone
That kind of love that keeps burning bright
Long after we've said goodnight

Keep falling in and out of love
In search for what i'm dreaming of
Keep falling in and out of love...


17.It's All Your Fault

(brian holland/lamont dozier/edward holland,jr.)

Baby, it's all your fault
You made me love you
You made me need you

Baby, it's all your fault
I keep tellin' myself
I need you and no one else

'cause your lips
Has the kiss of fire
That takes hold to my
My every desire
When you take me in your arms
And hold me close
My heart tells me
It's you i need the most

Ooh baby, ooh baby, ooh my baby

Sweet words you speak
Is like a melody
They go on and on
Like an old sweet song
Just echoing
All through my heart
Just makes you a part
A part of me, sweetheart

Baby, it's all your fault
You made me love you
You made me need you

You've got me in your power
And there i'll remain
'cause in my heart i know
I don't want to change

And baby, it's all your fault
I can't help myself
Oh no, i can't help myself
Ooh baby, ooh baby, ooh my baby


18.I Hear A Symphony

(brian holland/lamont dozier/edward holland, jr.)

You've given me a true love
And every day i thank you love
For a feeling that's so new
So inviting, so exciting

Whenever you're near
I hear a symphony
A tender melody
Pulling me closer
Closer to your arms

Then suddenly, i hear a symphony
Ooh, your lips are touching mine
A feeling so divine
'till i leave the past behind
I'm lost in a world
Made for you and me

Whenever you're near
I hear a symphony
Play sweet and tenderly
Every time your lips meet mine now baby

Baby, baby
You bring much joy within
Don't let this feeling end
Let it go on and on and on
Now baby, baby
Those tears that seem my eyes
I cry not for myself
But for those who never felt the joy we felt

Whenever you're near
I hear a symphony
Each time you speak to me
I hear a tender rap so dy of love now

Baby, baby
As you stand holding me
Whispering how much you care
A thousand violins fill the air

Now baby, baby
Don't let this moment end
Keep standing close to me
Ooh, so close to me, baby, baby
Baby, baby
I hear a symphony
A tender melody


19.Just A Little Misunderstanding

(broadnax/wonder/paul)

It's a cold girl
To hurt her fellow
And watch him walk away cryin'
When all along
She knows she's wrong
To be so hard on a fellow that's tryin'
I was so unkind to hurt you so
Goin' out of my mind
I just gotta let you know
I remember you said
You will always care
Till death should we do part
Then it surely must be
My destiny
To die the death of a broken heart
So before i become a wonderin' rover
Let's go together
Talk this things over now

That's all it is, yeah, yeah

We've been lovin' so long
That it just seems wrong
That our love could never be
You could be anywhere
Baby, i wouldn't care
If i thought that you needed me
All the chains in the world
Couldn't hold me, couldn't hold me
Like a robot your love
Controls me, controls me

Baby, please don't go
I realize i love you so
Our love surely can be mended
It's just a little misunderstanding


20.Love Child

(pam sawyer/r. dean taylor/frank wilson/deke richards)

Tenement slum

You think that i don't feel love
But what i feel for you is real love
In other's eyes i see reflected
A hurt, scorned, rejected

Love child, never meant to be
Love child, born in poverty
Love child, never meant to be
Love child, take a look at me

I started my life in an old, cold run down tenement slum
My father left, he never even married mom
I shared the guilt my mama knew
So afraid that others knew i had no name

This love we're contemplating
Is worth the pain of waiting
We'll only end up hating
The child we maybe creating

Love child, never meant to be
Love child, (scorned by) society
Love child, always second best
Love child, different from the rest

Mm, baby (hold on, hold on, just a little bit)
Mm, baby (hold on, hold on, just a little bit)
I started school, in a worn, torn, dress that somebody threw out
I knew the way it felt, to always live in doubt
To be without the simple things
So afraid my friends would see the guilt in me

Don't think that i don't need you
Don't think i don't wanna please you
No child of mine 'll be bearing
The name of shame i've been wearing

Love child, love child, never quite as good
Afraid, ashamed, misunderstood

But i'll always love you
I'll always love you
I'll always love you
I'll always love you
I'll always love you
I'll always love you


21.Love Is Here And Now You're Gone

(brian holland/lamont dozier/edward holland, jr.)

Love is here and
Oh, my darling, now you're gone
Love is here and
Oh, my darling, now, now you're gone

You persuaded me to love you
And i did
But instead of tenderness
I found heartache instead
Into your arms i felt
So unaware of the loneliness
That was waiting there

You close the door to your heart
And you turned the key, locked your love away from me

Love is here and
Oh, my darling, now you're gone

You made me love you
And oh, my darling, now you're gone
You said loving you
Would make life beautiful
With each passing day
But as soon as love
Came into my heart
You turned and you walked, just walked away

You stripped me of my dreams
You gave me faith, then took my hope
Look at me now

Look at me
See what loving you has done to me
Look at my face
See how cryin' has left it's trace

After you made me all your own
Then you left me all alone
You made your words sound so sweet
Knowing that your love i couldn't keep

My heart cries out for your touch
But you're not there
And the lonely cry fades in the air

Love is here and
Oh, my darling, now you're gone
Love is here and
Oh, my darling, now you're gone

You made me love you
Oh, my darling
Now you're gone
You made me love you
Oh, my darling
Now you're gone


22.Love Is Like Anitching In My Heart

(b. holland/l. dozier/e. holland, jr.)

The love bug done bit me
Didn't mean for him to get me
Woo, get up in the morning
And i'm filled with desire
No, no, i can't stop the fire
Love is a real life wire
Ooh, it's a burning sensation
Far behind imagination

Love is like an itching in my heart
Tearing it all apart
Just an itching in my heart
And baby, i can't scratch it
Keeps me sighing, ooh
Keeps me yearning

No, mama can't help me
No, daddy can't help me
I've been bitten by the love bug
And i need some information
To help me out this situation

Now, when you're ill
You take a pill
When your thirsty
Drink your fill
What you gonna do
When love gets a hold
A hold on you
Love is like an itching in my heart
And baby, i can't scratch it

Love is a nagging irritation
Causing my heart complication
Love is a growing infection
And i don't know the correction
Got me rockin' and areelin'
And i can't shake the feelin'

Love is like an itching in my heart
Tearing it all apart
Just an itching in my heart
And baby, i can't scratch it
Keeps me sighing, ooh
Keeps me yearning

Keeps me burning
Keeps me tossing
Keeps me turning
Keeps me yearning

I've been bitten by the love bug
And i need some information
To help me out this situation
Love is a nagging irritation
Causing my heart complication

I've been bitten by the love bug...


23.Manhattan

(richard rodgers/lorentz hart)

We'll have manhattan
The bronx and staten island too
It's lovely going through the zoo

It's very fancy
On old delancey street, you know
The subway charmes us so
When balmy breezes blow
To and fro

And tell me what street
Compares with mott street in july
Sweet push carts gently gliding by

The great big city's a wond'rous toy
Just made for a girl and boy
We'll turn manhattan into an isle of joy

We'll go to yonkers
Where true love conquers in the wilds
And starve together, dear in childs'

We'll go to coney
And eat bologny on a roll
In central park, we'll stroll
Where our first kiss we stole
Soul to soul

And tell me what street
Compares with mott street in july
Sweet push carts gently gliding by

The great big city's a wond'rous toy
Just made for a girl and boy
We'll turn manhattan into an isle of joy


24.My World Is Empty Without You

(brian holland/lamont dozier/edward holland, jr.)

My world is empty without you, baby
My world is empty without you, baby

And as i go my way alone
I find it hard for me to carry on
I need your strenght
I need your tender touch
I need the love, my dear
I miss so much

My world is empty without you, baby
My world is empty without you, baby

From this old world
I try to hide my face
From this loneliness
There's no hiding place
Inside this cold and empty house i dwell
In darkness with memories
I know so well

I need love know
More then before
I can hardly
Carry on anymore

My world is emty without you, babe
Without you, babe
(my world is emty) without you, babe

My mind and soul
Have felt like this
Since love between us
No more exist
And each time that darkness falls
It finds me alone
With these four walls

My world is emty without you, babe
Without you, babe
(my world is emty) without you, babe

Without you, babe
Without you, babe


25.Nothing But Heartaches

(brian holland/lamont dozier/edward holland, jr.)

Nothing but heartaches
Ooh, nothing but heartaches
He brings nothing but heartaches
I can't break away from his arms
I can't break away from his charms
I can't break away from his kiss
'cause his kiss i'll shouldn't miss

All my life
I needed someone to need me
So i do my very best to please him
But the more and more i care
The more of him other girls share
When i need a hand to hold
That's the time he leaves me all alone
Just keeps me, keeps me crying myself to sleep

He brings nothing but heartaches
Ooh, nothing but heartaches
But i can't break away
Oh, no keep a loving him more each day
Oh, i can't break away from his arms
I can't break away from his charms
I can't break away from his kiss
'cause his kiss i'll shouldn't miss

To him i'm loyal, to him i'm true
Why can't he be the same way too
But the more my love has grown
The less love he had shown

He makes promisses he doesn't keep
Sometimes i don't see him all week
Just keeps me, keeps me crying myself to sleep

He brings nothing but heartaches
Ooh, nothing but heartaches
But i can't break away
Oh, no keep a loving him more each day
Oh, i can't break away from his arms
I can't break away from his charms
I can't break away from his kiss
'cause his kiss i'll shouldn't miss

Nothing but heartaches
Ooh, nothing but heartaches
I can't break away, oh no
Keep a loving him more each day


26.No Matter What Sign You Are

(berry gordy/henry cosby)

Capricorn, scorpio, taurus, gemini, virgo, cancer,
Pisces, leo, libra, aries, aquarius, sagittarius

The moon shines bright above
But the charts declare
It's not my night for love
Ah, deep in my heart
I feel a good vibrations saying
'you and me, babe, would make a good combination'

There's no need in looking to the skies
Can't you see the stars shine in my eyes
I love you, boy, i really love you, boy

No matter what sign you are
You're gonna be mine you are
Can't let astrology chart our destiny
No matter what sign you are
You're gonna be mine you are
The beat of the heart, my love
Is stronger than the charts, my love

Your water sign just lit my fire
You fill me with such desire
I love you, boy, i really love you, boy

No matter what sign you are
You're gonna be mine you are
Can't let astrology chart our destiny
No matter what sign you are
You're gonna be mine you are
I need you beside me, love
Only you can guide my love

Capricorn, scorpio, taurus, gemini, virgo,
Cancer, pisces, leo, libra, aries

I don't care about your rising sign
All i know is when your lips touch mine
You move me, boy, you really move me, boy

No matter what sign you are
You're gonna be mine you are
Yes, you are
Hold me, boy
No matter what sign you are
You're gonna be mine you are


27.Ooowee Baby

(william 'smokey' robinson)

Ooowee baby
Honey baby, talk is cheap
So if you want my love to keep
Come and show me that you really care

Ooowee baby
Baby, come and kiss me quick
Come and smear all my lipstick
If you really want my love to share
Ooowee baby

Just one kiss from you is worth
All the talk there in on earth
A million words don't equal just one touch
Ooowee baby
If your love is really real
Don't just tell me how you feel
If you really love me oh so much
Ooowee baby

You need more than words
In this situation
A kiss can do as much
To make communication
Cuddle me closer
And be real good conversation
So hold me tight, tonight's the night
Fill my heart with pure delight

Ooowee baby
Ooowee baby, ooowee baby

The words 'i love you' just don't do
As much for me as just a few
Hugs and kisses every now and then
Ooowee baby
Now that i am in your reach
You don't have to make a speech
Just open up your arms and close me in
Ooowee baby
Ooowee baby


28.Penny Pincher

(brian holland/lamont dozier/edward holland,jr.)

I've got a boy
Sweet as honey
Penny pincher
But they tease him
Penny pincher
'cause he doesn't spend his money
A penny pincher
That's what they say
So from him
Other girls shy away

But i love him
For what he is
All his love
He truly gives

He may not drive a car
But i love
Those walks through the park
A penny pincher
He may be
But oh, he means
He means the world to me

I don't care
If he won't spend a dime
Just as long
As i know he's mine

Let them tease him
Call him cheap
But in my book
He can't be beat
I love him for
What is within
A tender loving
Trusting friend

I don't care
If he won't spend a dime
Just as long
As i know he's mine

A penny pincher
He may be
But his love
Means the world to me
A penny pincher
He may be


29.Reflections

(brian holland/lamont dozier/edward holland,jr.)

Through the mirror of my mind
Time after time
I see reflections of you and me

Reflections of
The way life used to be
Reflections of
The love you took from me

Oh, i'm all alone now
No love to shield me
Trapped in a world
That's a distorted reality

Hapiness you took from me
And left me alone
With only memories

Through the mirror of my mind
Through these tears that i'm crying
Reflects a hurt i can't control
'cause although you're gone
I keep holding on
To the happy times
Oh, when you were mine

As i peer through the window
Of lost time
Looking over my yesterdays
And all the love i gave all in vain
(all the love) all the love
That i've waisted
(all the tears) all the tears
That i've taisted
All in vain

Through the hollow of my tears
I see a dream that's lost
From the hurt
That you have caused

Everywhere i turn
Seems like everything i see
Reflects the love that used to be

In you i put
All my faith and trust
Right before my eyes
My world has turned to dust

After all the nights
I sat alone and wept
Just a handful of promisses
Are all that's left of loving you

Reflections of
The way life used to be
Reflections of
The love you took from me

In you i put
All my faith and trust
Right before my eyes
My world has turned to dust...


30.Send Me No Flowers

(brian holland/lamont dozier/edward holland,jr.)

Send me no flowers
Send me no flowers
Just want your arms around me
Your ever loving arms around me

You sent me flowers and a 'get well' card
After you had broken my heart
Violets that were blue
Reminded me you'd never be true

So send me no flowers
Don't need any flowers
Because your kissing, baby
Is what i'm missing, baby

When i'm at home, all alone
You don't ever bother, bother to phone
A little affection sometimes
Will soothe this heart of mine
But you send me flowers
To ease my lonely hours

Send me no flowers. baby
Don't need any flowers
Just need your kissing, baby
And i don't mean maybe, baby

Send me no flowers, baby
Don't need any flowers, baby
I need affection sometimes
To soothe this heart of mine

Send me no flowers, baby
Don't need any flowers, baby
I need affection sometimes
To soothe this heart of mine


31.Sincerely

(harvey fuqua/alan freed)

Sincerely
Oh, yes sincerely
'cause i love you so dearly
Please say you'll be mine

Sincerely
Oh, you know how i love you
I'll do anything for you
Please say you'll be mine

Oh, lord, won't you tell me why
I love that fella so
He doesn't want me
But i'll never, never, never let him go

Sincerely
Oh, you know how i love you
I'll do anything for you
Please say you'll be mine

Oh, lord, won't you tell me why
I love that fella so
He doesn't want me
But i'll never, never, never let him go

Sincerely
Oh, you know how i love you
I'll do anything for you
Please say you'll be mine
Please say you'll be mine
Please say you'll be mine


32.Sleep Walk

(don wolf/santo farina/johnny farina/annfarina)

Sleep walk
Instead of dreaming
I sleep walk
'cause i lost you
And now what am i to do
What to do
Can't believe that we're through
I don't care how much you tell me

Sleep talk
'cause i miss you
I sleep talk
While the memory of you
Lingers like a song
Darling, i was so wrong
But i'll be right someday

The night
Fills my lonely place
I see your face
Spinning through my brain
I know
I miss you so
I still love you
And it drives me insane

Sleep walk
Every night
I just sleep walk
And when you
Walk inside the door
I will sleep walk no more

Sleep walk
Every night
I just sleep walk
And when you
Walk inside the door
I will sleep walk no more

I will sleep walk no more
I will sleep walk no more


33.Someday My Prince Will Come

(larry morey/frank churchill)

Some day my prince will come
Some day i'll find my love
And how thrilling that moment will be
When the prince of my dreams comes to me
He'll whisper 'i love you'
And steal a kiss or two

Though he's far away
I'll find my love some day
Some day when my dreams
Come true

Some day i'll find my love
Someone to call my own
And i'll know him the moment we meet
For my heart will start skipping a beat
Some day we'll say and do
Things we've been longing to

Though he's far away
I'll find my love some day
Some day when my dreams
Come true

Some day my prince will come
Somewhere waiting for me
There's someone i'm longing to see
Some day my prince will come


34.Someday We'll Be Together

(r. beavers/j. bristol/h. fuqua)

Someday we'll be together
Say, say, say it again
Someday we'll be together
Oh, yeah, oh yeah

You're far away
From me my love
And just as sure my, my baby
As there are stars above
I wanna say, i wanna say, i wanna say

Someday we'll be together
Yes we will, yes we will
Say, someday (some sweet day) we'll be together
I know, i know, i know, i know

My love is yours, baby
Oh, right from the stars
You, you, you posses my soul now honey
And i know, i know you own my heart
And i wanna say:

Someday we'll be together
Some sweet day we'll be together
Yes we will, yes we will
Someday (tell everybody) we'll be together
Yes we will, yes we will

Long time ago
My, my sweet thing
I made a big mistake, honey
I said, i said goodbye
Oh, oh baby
Ever, ever, ever since that day
Now, now all i wanna do is cry, cry

Hey, hey, hey
I long for you every night
Just to kiss your sweet, sweet lips
Hold you ever, ever so tight
And i wanna say

Someday we'll be together
Yes we will, yes we will


35.Some Things You Never Get Used To

(nickolas ashford/valerie simpson)

Some things you never get used to

It's the same routine of getting up every morning
And putting on a smile
But underneath there's another person
Who can't find a reason to make living worthwhile

Ah, another day to get through
Without the love that once was mine
Sometimes i think my heartaches come to an end
And then something brings them all back again
Like wanting you and like having you
I'll never get used to

I've gotten used to not listing
For familiar sounds you used to make
Now i'm trying to get out of the habit
Of calling your name first thing when i awake
Look here !

It's like a child's first step
I have to learn to walk all, all over again
'cause you were always there if i should fall
And now there's nobody else that i can call
It's like wanting you and not having you
I'll never get used to

Lost in a cloud
I think i caught a glimpse of you
Blindly i rush to touch your hand, huh!
To discover it's my mind
Playing tricks on me again
Tricks on me again

Some things you never get used to
Sometimes i think my heartaches come to an end
And then something brings them all back again
Like wanting you and like having you
I'll never get used to
It's wanting you and like having you
I'll never get used to
Look here !
Like wanting you and like having you
I'll never get used to


36.Stop! In The Name Of Love

(brian holland/lamont dozier/edward holland, jr.)

Stop! in the name of love
Before you break my heart

Baby, baby
I'm aware of where you go
Each time you leave my door
I watch you walk down the street
Knowing your other love you'll meet
But this time before you run to her
Leaving me alone and hurt
(think it over) after i've been good to you ?
(think it over) after i've been sweet to you ?

Stop! in the name of love
Before you break my heart
Stop! in the name of love
Before you break my heart
Think it over
Think it over

I've known of your
Your secluded nights
I've even seen her
Maybe once or twice
But is her sweet expression
Worth more than my love and affection ?
But this time before you leave my arms
And rush of to her charms
(think it over) haven't i been good to you ?
(think it over) haven't i been sweet to you ?

Stop! in the name of love
Before you break my heart
Stop! in the name of love
Before you break my heart
Think it over
Think it over

I've tried so hard, hard to be patient
Hoping you'd stop this infatuation
But each time you are together
I'm so afraid i'll be losing you forever

Stop! in the name of love
Before you break my heart
Stop! in the name of love
Before you break my heart
Stop! in the name of love
Before you break my heart

Baby, think it over
Think it over, baby
Ooh, think it over baby...


37.Supremes Interview


38.Surfer Boy

(brian holland/lamont dozier/edward holland,jr.)

Surfer boy, surfer boy
Surfer boy, surfer boy
Look at the way, the way he rides
He rides, he rides oh so high
Look at the way, the way he rides
He rides, he rides oh so high

My surfer boy
Riding waves just for joy
What are you taking chances for
Is it a matter of pride
Riding waves so high
Seems to touch the sky
Waves that rock and sway
Ooh takes my breath away

Surfers all around
Cheering you as you ride down
Each day i feel as before
So afraid till you're safe to shore
In my arms once more
The way he rides, oh so high

The cheering crowd nearby
Watch you surf the waves so high
Wild as the wind, you surf the sea
Like a man on a flying trapeze

My surfer boy
I'm so afraid for you
Though thrilling it must be, my love
Be safe for me, my love
Ooh oh so high
The way he rides, oh so high

My surfer boy
Riding waves just for joy
What are you taking chances for
Is it a matter of pride
Riding waves so high
Seems to touch the sky
Waves that rock and sway
Ooh takes my breath away

Surfer boy, surfer boy, surfer boy


39.The Blue Room

(richard rodgers/lorentzhart)

We'll have a blue room
A new room, for two room
Where every day's a holiday
Because you're married to me

Not like a ballroom
A small room, a hall room
Where you can smoke your pipe away
With my wee head upon your knee

We will thrive on, keep alive on
Just nothing but kisses
With mister and misses
On little blue chairs

I'll wear my trouseau
And robinson crusoe
Is not so far from worldly cares
As our blue room far away upstairs

We will thrive on, keep alive on
Just nothing but kisses
With mister and misses
On little blue chairs

I'll wear my trouseau
And robinson crusoe
Is not so far from worldly cares
As our blue room far away upstairs


40.The Composer

(william 'smokey' robinson)

You may not how
To make words rhyme
Carry a tune or a clap on time now
You may have no knowledge of musical things

But deep down inside of me
You have created a melody
You're the composer of the song
That my heart sings

You may not what
Quarter notes are
Or what i mean by four to the bar now
Such musical terms may be greek to your ears

But deep down inside of me
You have created a melody
You're the composer of the song
That my heart hears

Now it's a tender song
It's like a rhapsody, a symphony
This song i find in this heart of mine
And it's begging you
Let nothing keep us apart
Oh, my darling
'cause you put a song in my heart

Now this song that i find in my heart for you
Every lyric and line
I swear it's true
The number one song on my personal chart

Deep down inside of me
You have created a melody
You're the composer of the song
That's in my heart

Deep down inside of me
You have created a symphony
You're the composer
You put a song in my heart
You're the composer
You put a song in my heart
You're the composer
You put a song in my heart


41.The Happening


42.Those D.j. Shows

(william 'smokey' robinson)

Right now, i'm in school
But as soon as the homebell rings
I'm gonna run to my locker
And gather up all my things
Then out the door

Running home i'll go
Faster than a new jet plane

And then turn on my radio
I'm gonna listen to those d.j. shows
I'm gonna be diggin' that rock 'n' roll
If i don't i'll go insane

Mamma said, 'go to bed
And turn off all those lights
And please turn off that radio
'cause you listen to it day and night'
So i'll go to bed
And cover up my head
So nobody can complain

And then turn on my radio
I'm gonna listen to those d.j. shows
I'm gonna be diggin' that rock 'n' roll
If i don't i'll go insane

Well there may come a time in my lifetime
When i won't like to dance and sing
When i won't like to go to the parties no more
And i won't like to do a thing
Well bless my soul
When i get so old
Till have to walk around with a cane

And then turn on my radio
I'm gonna listen to those d.j. shows
I'm gonna be diggin' that rock 'n' roll
If i don't i'll go insane

I'm gonna listen to those d.j. shows
'cause that's all i like to do
Those d.j. shows
Every day those d.j. shows
I dig the records that they play
Those d.j. shows
Every day those d.j. shows


43.Treat Me Nice John Henry

(william 'smokey' robinson)

John henry was born
At the crack of dawn
His mama named henry
And a daddy named john
His daddy predicted that
While john was growin'
He would be wild
Like the wind that was blowin'

That morn he was born
Was a hurricane
Thunder and lightning
And pouring rain
He's exciting to see
Like the storm he was born in
He took my heart and soul
Without a warning

So treat me nice
Don't be mean, john henry
Make the girl's faces green with envy
And i'm gonna give you
All the love that's in me
John henry, john henry

Oh, rock of a man
You're thrillin' me
I'll take your hand
So willingly
Ready to go
Wherever you lead me
Long as i know
You'll always need me

Oh, johnny, you are my hero
Without you my life is a zero
So whether i'm happy or in misery
In your arms is where i have to be now

So treat me nice
Don't be mean, john henry
Make the girl's faces green with envy
And i'm gonna give you
All the love that's in me
John henry, john henry

Henry, you know
You've got me goin'
My love for you
Keeps growing and a growing

Treat me nice
Don't be mean, john henry
Make the girl's faces green with envy
And i'm gonna give you
All the love that's in me
John henry, john henry

Treat me nice
Don't be mean, john henry


44.We Couldn't Get Along Without You

(special lyrics to'my world is empty without you')
(brian holland/lamont dozier/edward holland, jr.)

Hi berry,
This is diane, this is mary, florence
And on behalf of everyone at motown
We also wish to extend our congratulations

We couldn't get along without you
Just couldn't feel the song without you
Without your hand to guide our way
We'd all be lost somewhere in yesterday
We need your strength
We need your courage too
We need your constant faith to see us through

We couldn't get along without you
Just couldn't feel the song without you
You gave us hope when all our hope was gone
With wise and patient hands you kept hangin' on
When things were dark, you brought us shining light
Words cannot express the way we feel tonight

Berry, on behalf of the people at home
And the people all over this country
To whom you are a shining example
Our deepest congratulations
And of course our deepest love
We need you now more than before
Success is one thing, but you taught us much more

We couldn't get along without you
Just couldn't feel the song without you
The world should know the man inside
Who worked with courage and a deep sense of pride
Your strong and guiding hand has shown us the way
From those who love you most we just want to say

We couldn't get along without you
Just couldn't feel the song without you...


45.When The Lovelight Starts Shining Through His Eyes

(brian holland/lamont dozier/edward holland, jr.)

He gave me the eye
But i just passed him by
I treated him unkind
But he didn't seem to mind

I told him be on his way
But not a word did he say
He just stood there kind of bold
While i acted cold

But when the lovelight starts shining through his eyes
Made me realize i should apologize
And when he placed a kiss upon my face
Then i knew, oh then i knew
That he won my heart

So i quickly apologized
Hoping he hadn't changed his mind
But not a word did he say
So i turned to walk away

But when the lovelight starts shining through his eyes
Made me realize how he felt inside
And when he placed a kiss upon my face
Then i knew, oh then i knew
That he won my heart

When he asked could he walk my way
I hoped sweet things he'd say
Instead he smiled kind of nice
As he held my hand kind of tight

But when the lovelight starts shining through his eyes
Made me realize how he felt inside
And when he placed a kiss upon my face
Then i knew, oh then i knew
That he won my heart

But when the lovelight starts shining through his eyes
Made me realize how he felt inside
And when he placed a kiss upon my face


46.When You Wish Upon A Star

(ned washington/leigh harline)

When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you

If your heart is in your dream
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star
As dreamers do

Fate is kind
She brings to those who love
The sweet fulfillment of
Their secret longing

Like a bolt out of the blue
Fate steps in and sees you through
When you wish upon a star
Your dream comes true

No request is too extreme
When you wish
As dreamers do

Fate is kind
She brings to those who love
The sweet fulfillment of
Their secret longing

When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
When you wish upon a star
Your dream comes true


47.Who Can I Turn To(When Nobody Needs Me)

who can i turn to
When nobody needs me
My heart wants to know
So i must go
Where destiny leads me

With no star to guide me
And no one beside me
I'll go on my way
And after the day
The darkness will hide me

But maybe tomorrow
I'll find what i'm after
I'll throw off my sorrow
Beg, steal or borrow
My share of laughter

'cause with you i could learn to
With you on a new day
But who can i turn to
If you turn away

With you i could learn to
With you on a new day
But who can i turn to
If you turn away


48.You Can't Hurry Love

(b. holland/l. dozier/e. holland, jr.)

I need love, love
To ease my mind
I need to find, find someone to call mine
But mama said

You can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
It's a game of give and take

You can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
You got to trust, give it time
No matter how long it takes

But how many heartaches
Must i stand before i find a love
To let me live again
Right now the only thing
That keeps me hangin' on
When i feel my strength, yeah
It's almost gone
I remember mama said:

You can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
It's a game of give and take

How long must i wait
How much more can i take
Before loneliness will cause my heart
Heart to break?

No i can't bear to live my life alone
I grow impatient for a love to call my own
But when i feel that i, i can't go on
These precious words keeps me hangin' on
I remember mama said:

You can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
It's a game of give and take

You can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said trust, give it time
No matter how long it takes

No, love, love, don't come easy
But i keep on waiting
Anticipating for that soft voice
To talk to me at night
For some tender arms
To hold me tight
I keep waiting
I keep on waiting
But it ain't easy
It ain't easy
But mama said:

You can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said to trust, give it time
No matter how long it takes

You can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
It's a game of give and take


49.You Keep Me Hangin' On

(brian holland/lamont dozier/edward holland, jr.)

Set me free, why don't cha babe
Get out my life, why don't cha babe
'cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hangin' on
You don't really need me
But you keep me hangin' on

Why do you keep a coming around
Playing with my heart?
Why don't you get out of my life
And let me make a new start?
Let me get over you
The way you've gotten over me

Set me free, why don't cha babe
Let me be, why don't cha babe
'cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hangin' on
Now you don't really want me
You just keep me hangin' on

You say although we broke up
You still wanna be just friends
But how can we still be friends
When seeing you only breaks my heart again
And there ain't nothing i can do about it

Woo, set me free, why don't cha babe
Woo, get out my life, why don't cha babe
Set me free, why don't cha babe
Get out my life, why don't cha babe

You claim you still care for me
But your heart and soul needs to be free
Now that you've got your freedom
You wanna still hold on to me
You don't want me for yourself
So let me find somebody else hey!

Why don't you be a man about it
And set me free
Now you don't care a thing about me
You're just using me
Go on, get out, get out of my life
And let me sleep at night
'cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hangin' on...
