Farewell

The Supremes Farewell Lyrics
1.Aquarius /let The Sunshine In

(james rado/gerome ragni/galt macdermot)

When the moon is in the seventh house
And jupiter aligns with mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars

This is the dawning of the age of aquarius
Age of aquarius
Aquarius
Aquarius

Harmony and understanding
Sympathy and trust abounding
No more lies and no derisions
Golden living dreams of visions
Mystic crystal revelation
And the mind's true liberation
Aquarius
Aquarius

Let the sunshine
Let the sunshine in
The sunshine in

Let the sunshine
Let the sunshine in
The sunshine in

Let the sunshine
Let the sunshine in
The sunshine in


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

4.Can't Take My Eyes Off You

(b. crewe/b. gaudio)

You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off of you
You'd be live heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much

At long last love has arrived
And i thank god i'm alive
You're just to good to be true
Can't take my eyes off of you

You're just too way that i stare
There's nothing else to compare
The sight of you leaves me weak
There are no words left to speak

But if you feel like i feel
Please let me know that it's real
You're just to good to be true
And my baby
Can't take my eyes off of you

I love you baby
And if it's quite all right
I need you baby
To warm the lonely night
I love you baby
Trust in me when i say

Oh, baby baby
Don't bring me down, i pray
Oh pretty baby
Now that i found you, stay
Let me love you, baby
Let me love you, baby

You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off of you
You'd be live heaven to touch
And i wanna hold so much

At long last love has arrived
And i thank god i'm alive
You're just to good to be true
Can't take my eyes off of you

I love you baby
And if it's quite all right
I need you baby
To warm the lonely night
I love you baby
Trust in me when i say

Oh, pretty baby
Don't bring me down, i pray
Oh pretty baby
Now that i found you, stay


5.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


6.Didn't We

(j. webb)

This time we almost made the pieces fit
Didn't we
This time we almost made some sense of it
Didn't we
This time i had the answer right here in my hand
And i touched it and it had turned to sand

This time we almost sang our song in tune
Didn't we
This time we almost made it to that moon
Didn't we
This time we almost made our poem rhyme
This time we almost made that long, hard climb
Didn't we almost make it this time?


7.Falling In Love With Love

(richard rodgers/lorentz hart)

Falling in love with love
Is falling for make believe
Falling in love with love
Is playing the fool

Caring too much
Is such a juvenile fancy
Learning to trust
Is just for children in school

I fell in love with love
One night when the moon was full
I was unwise with eyes unable to see

I fell in love with love
With love everlasting
But love fell out with me!

Falling in love with love
Is falling for make believe
Falling in love with love
Is playing the fool

Caring too much
Is such a juvenile fancy
Learning to trust
Is just for children in school

I fell in love with love
One night when the moon was full
I was unwise with eyes unable to see

I fell in love with love
With love everlasting
But love fell out with me!

Falling in love with love
Falling in love with love
Falling in love with love


8.I'm Gonna Make You Love Me

(ken gamble/jerry ross/jerry williams)

I'm gonna do all the thing for you
A girl wants a man to do
Oh, baby (oh, baby)
I'll sacrifice for you
I'll even do wrong for you
Oh, baby (oh, baby)

Every minute, every hour
I'm gonna shower you
With love and affection
Look out, it's comin' in your direction
And i'm

I'm gonna make you love me
Oh, yes i will

And i'm gonna use every trick in the book
I'll try my best to get you hooked
Hey, baby (hey, baby)

And every night, every day
I'm gonna say
I'm gonna get you, i'm gonna get you
Look out boy, 'cause i'm gonna get you

I'm gonna make you love me
Oh, yes i will
Yes i will
And i'm gonna make you love me
Oh, yes i will
You know i will

Every breathe i take
And each and every step i make
Brings me closer, baby
Closer to you

And with each beat of my heart
For every day we're apart
I'll hunger for every wasted hour

And i...
Every night
And every day
I'm gonna get you, i'm gonna get you
Look out, 'cause i'm gonna get you

I'm gonna make you love me
Oh, yes i will
Yes i will

Oh, yes i will
Yes i will

I'm gonna make you love me
Oh, yes i will
Yes i will
I'm gonna make you love me

Yes i will


9.It's Alright With Me

(c. porter)

Ok, it's all right
It's the wrong time and the wrong place
Though your face is charming, it's the wrong face
It's not his face, but such a charming face
That it's alright with me

It's the wrong song with the wrong style
Though your smile is lovely, it's the wrong smile
It's not his smile, but such a lovely smile
That it's alright with me

You can't know how happy i am that we met
I'm strangely attracted to you
There's someone i'm longing so hard to forget
Don't you wanna forget someone too

It's the wrong game with the wrong chips
Though your lips are tempting, they're the wrong lips
They're not his lips, but they're such tempting lips
That it's all right with me
Say it's all right,
It's all right
It's all right with me

It's not his face
But such a charming face
That it's alright with me

It's not his smile
But such a lovely smile
That it's alright with me

You can't know how happy i am that we met
I'm strangely attracted to you
There's someone i'm longing so hard to forget
Don't you wanna forget someone too

It's the wrong game with the wrong chips
Though your lips are tempting, they're the wrong lips
They're not his lips, but they're such tempting lips
That it's all right with me
Say it's all right,
It's all right
It's all right with me


10.Let's Get Away From It All

(matt dennis/thomas adair)

Let's take a boat to bermuda
Let's take a plane to saint paul
Let's take a powder to boston for chowder
Let's get away from it all

Let's go again to niag'ra
This time we'll look at the fall
Let's leave our hut, dear
Get out of our rut
Let's get away from it all


11.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


12.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


13.My Man

it's cost me a lot
But there's one thing that i've got
It's my man.

Cold and wet
Tired, you bet
But all that i soon forget
With my man.

He's not much for looks
And no hero out of books
Is my man.

Two or three girls has he
That he likes as well as me
But i love him.

I don't know why i should.
He isn't good.
He isn't true.
He beats me too.
What can i do?

Oh, my man i love him so.
He'll never know.
All my life is just despair,
But i don't care.
When he takes me in his arms
The world is right, all right.

What's the difference if i say
I'll go away
When i know i'll come back on my knees some day?
For whatever my man is
I am his forever more.


14.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


15.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...


16.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


17.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...


18.Tcb

(kohan/angelos)

Time is flying, grab it
Break that nowhere habit

19.The Impossible Dream

(mitch leigh/joe darion)

To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go

To right the unrightable wrong
To love pure and chaste from afat
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star

This is my quest to follow that star
No matter how hopeless, no matter how far
To fight for the right
Without question or pause
To be willing to march
Into hell for a heavenly cause

And i know if i'll only be true
To this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm
When i'm laid to my rest

And the world will be better for this
That one man, scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star
The fight the unbeatable foe
To dream the impossible dream

And the world will be better for this
That one man, scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star
To fight the unbeatable foe
To dream the impossible dream


20.The Lady Is A Tramp

(richard rodgers/lorentz hart)

I get too hungry for dinner at eight
I like the theatre but never come late
I never bother with people i hate
That's why the lady is a tramp

I like the crap games with barons and earls
Won't go to harlem in ermine and pearls
Won't dish the dirt with the rest of the girls
That's why the lady is a tramp

I like that cool fresh wind in my hair
Life without care
I'm broke, it's oke!
Hate california
It's cold and it's damp
That's why the lady is a tramp

I get too hungry for dinner at eight
I like the theatre but never come late
I never bother with people i hate
That's why the lady is a tramp

I like the crap games with barons and earls
Won't go to harlem in ermine and pearls
Won't dish the dirt with the rest of the girls
That's why the lady is a tramp

I like that cool fresh wind in my hair
Life without care
I'm broke, it's oke!
Hate california
It's cold and it's damp
That's why the lady is a tramp
