1.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
2.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
3.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...
4.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
5.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
6.Michelle
(john lennon/paul mccartney)
Michelle, ma belle
Sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble
Tres bien ensemble
Michelle, ma belle
These are words which go together well
My michelle
I love you, i love you, i love you
I think you know by now
I'll get to you somehow
Until i do
I'm hoping you will know what i mean
Michelle, ma belle
Sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble
Tres bien ensemble
I will say the only words
I know you'll understand
My michelle
7.More
(marcello ciorciolini/riziero ortolani/ninooliviero/norman
newell)
More than the greatest love the world has known
This is the love i give to you alone
More than the simple words i try to say
I'll only live to love you more each day
More than you'll ever know my arms long to hold you so
Until i'll be in your keeping, waiting, sleeping, laughing,
weeping
Longer than always is a long, long time
But far beyond forever you'll be mine
I know i'll never live before
And my heart is very sure
No one else will love you more
And more than you'll ever know my arms long to hold you so
Until no one else will love you more
Longer than always is a long, long time
But far beyond forever you'll be mine
I know i'll never live before
And my heart is very sure
No one else will love you more
8.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
9.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...
10.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...
11.Stranger In Paradise
(robert craig wright/george forrest)
Stranger in paradise
Take my hand
I'm a stranger in paradise
All lost in a wonderland
A stranger in paradise
If i stand starry-eyed
That's a danger in paradise
For mortals who stand beside
I'm an angel like you
I saw your face
And i ascended
Out of the commonplace
Into the rare
Somewhere in space
I hang suspended
Until i know
There's a chance that you care
Won't you answer that fervent prayer
Of a stranger in paradise
Don't send me in dark despair
From all that i hunger for
But open your angel arms
To a stranger in paradise
And tell her that she need be
A stranger no more
12.The Happening
13.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
14.Thoroughly Modernmillie/second Hand Rose/mame
(sammy cahn, j.v. huesen/james hanley, grantclarke, harlan
howard/jerry herman)
There are three well known young ladies
People talk about today
Three young ladies known for fortune and fame
They aren't mod
They don't sing rock
A real old fashioned trio
Who are simply known as millie, rose and mame
Thoroughly modern millie
Everything today is thoroughly modern
Check your personality
Everything today makes yesterday slow
You better face reality
It's not insanity
Says vanity fair
In fact, it's stylish to raise your skirts and bob your hair
In a rumble seat the world is so cosy
If the boy is kissable
And that tango dance they wouldn't allow
Goodbye, good, goody girl
I'm changing and how
So beat the drums
Cause here comes thoroughly modern millie now
Second hand rose
I'm wearing second hand hats
Second hand clothes
That's why they call me second hand rose
(you're ragged)
Even my pajamas when i don em
Has somebody else's nitials on 'em
(initials)
Second hand pearls
Oh, i'm wearing second hand curls
I never had a single thing that's new
(what's a girl to do about it?)
Once while strolling through the ritz
A girl got my goat
(what'd she do?)
She nudged her friend and said
Oh, look, there's my old fur coat
(and how embarassing)
And everyone knows that i'm just second hand rose
From second avenue
Mame
You coax that blues right out of the horn, mame
You charm that husk right off of the corn, mame
You've got that banjo strummin
Plunkin out a tune to beat the band
The whole plantation's hummin'
Since you brought dixie back to dixie land
You make them blackeyed peas and our grits, mame
Seems like the bill of fare at the ritz, mame
You came, you saw, you conquered
And absolutely nothing was the same
You're special fascination'll prove to be inspirational
We think you're just sensational, mame
Everything today is thoroughly modern
Bands are getting jazzier
(mame)
And everything today is starting to go
The cars are getting snazzier
(mame)
Men say it's criminal
What women will do
What they're forgetting is
This is 1922
Second hand shoes
I'm wearing second hand hose
They've all been worn before
You're special fascination'll prove to be inspirational
We think you're just sensational mame
Not to mention rose and millie
We think you're just sensational mame
You're special fascination'll prove to be inspirational
We think you're just sensational mame
Come on let's groove it, one last time
We think you're just sensational mame
15.Without A Song
(billy rose/edward eliscu/vincent youmans)
Without a song
The day would never end
Without a song
The road would never have been
When things go wrong
A man ain't got a friend
Without a song
That field of corn
Would never ever see a plow
That field of corn
Would be deserted now
A man is born
But he's no good no how
Without a song
I've got my trouble and woe
But sure as i know
The jordan will roll
I'll get along
As long as a song
Is strung in my soul
I'll never know
What makes the rain to fall
I'll never know
What makes the grass so tall
I only know
There ain't no love at all
Without a song
16.With A Song In My Heart
(richard rodgers/lorentz hart)
With a song in my heart
I behold your adorable face
Just a song at the start
But it soon is a hymn to your grace
When the music swells
I'm touching your hand
It tells that me you're standing near
And at the sound of your voice
Heaven opens its portals to me
Can i help but rejoice
That a song such as ours came to be?
But i always knew
I would live life through
With a song in my heart for you
17.Wonderful, Wonderful
(ben raleigh/sherman edwards)
Sometimes we walk hand in hand by the sea
And we breathe in the cool salty air
You turn to me with a kiss in your eyes
And my heart feels a thrill beyond compare
Then your lips cling to mine
It's wonderful, wonderful
Oh, so wonderful, my love
Sometimes we stand on the top of a hill
And we gaze at the earth and stars
I turn to you and melt in your arms
There we are, darling, only you and i
What a moment to share
It's wonderful, wonderful
Oh, so wonderful, my love
The world is filled with wond'rous things, it's true
But they wouldn't have much meaning without you
Some quiet evening i sit by your side
And we're lost in a world of our own
I feel the glow of your unspoken love
I'm aware of the treasure that i own
And i say to myself
It's wonderful, wonderful
Oh, so wonderful, my love
And i say to myself
It's wonderful, wonderful
Oh, so wonderful, my love
18.Yesterday
(paul mccartney/john lennon)
Yesterday,
All my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, i believe in yesterday
Suddenly,
I'm not half the girl i used to be
There's a shadow hangin' over me
Oh, yesterday came suddenly
Why he had to go
I don't know
He wouldn't say
I said something wrong
Now i long for yesterday
Yesterday,
Love was such an easy game to play
Now i need a place to hide away
Oh i believe in yesterday
Why he had to go
I don't know
He wouldn't say
I said something wrong
Now i long for yesterday
Yesterday,
Love was such an easy game to play
Now i need a place to hide away
Oh i believe in yesterday
Mm mm mm mm
19.You're Nobody 'til Somebody Loves You
(morgan/stock/cavanaugh)
You're nobody till somebody loves you
You're nobody till somebody cares
You might be king
You might possess
The world and all its gold
But gold won't bring you happiness
When you're growing old
The world is still is the same
You'll never change it
As sure as the stars shine above
You're nobody till somebody loves you
So find yourself somebody to love
You're nobody till somebody loves you
You're nobody till somebody cares
You might be king
You might possess
The world and all its gold
But gold won't bring you happiness
When you're growing old
The world is still is the same
You'll never change it
As sure as the stars shine above
You're nobody till somebody loves you
So find yourself somebody to love
The world is the same and you'll never remain the same
20.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...
