The Supremes Takin' Care Of Business[Tcb]

1.A Taste Of Honey


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.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


4.Eleanor Rigby／do You Know The Way To San Jose？／mrs. Robinson

(marlow, scott／john lennon, paul mccartney／haldavid, burt
bacharach／paul simon)

Eleanor rigby

Eleanor rigby
Picks up the rice in the church
Where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream
Waits at the window
Wearing a face
That she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for ？

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from ？
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong ？

Father mckenzie writing the words
To a sermon that no one will hear
Oh, no one comes near
Look at him working
Darning the socks in the night
When there's nobody there
Nobody cares

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from ？
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong ？

Do you know the way to san jose？

Do you know the way to san jose？
I've been away so long
I may go wrong and lose my way

Do you know the way to san jose？
I'm going back to find some peace of mind in san jose

L.a. is a great big freeway
Put a hundred down and buy a car
In a week, maybe two, they'll make you a star
Weeks turn into years
How quick they pass
And all the stars that never were are parking cars and pumping
gas

Do you know the way to san jose？
I've got lots of friends in san jose
Do you know the way to san jose？
I've got lots of friends in san jose

Mrs. robinson

And here's to you mrs. robinson
Jesus loves you more than you will know
(wo, wo, wo)
God bless you, please, mrs. robinson
Heaven holds a place for those who pray
(hey, hey, hey)

We'd like to know a little bit
About you for our files
We'd like to help you
Learn to help yourself
Look around you
All you see are sympathetic eyes
Stroll around the grounds
Until you feel at home

And here's to you mrs. robinson
Jesus loves you more than you will know
(wo, wo, wo)
God bless you, please, mrs. robinson
Heaven holds a place for those who pray
(hey, hey, hey)


5.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


6.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


7.Respect

what you want, baby i got it.
What you need, you know i got it
All im asking, for a little respect when ya get home!

I ain't gonna do ya wrong, while ya gone
I aint gonna do ya wrong, cause i dont wanna
All im asking, for a little respect when ya come home.

Im about to give you all my money
And all im asking in return honey
Is to give me my proper when ya get home

Ooooo, your kisses are sweeter than honey
And guess what, so is my money
All i want you to do for me is give it to me when ya get home

R-e-s-p-e-c-t, find out what it means to me, r-e-s-p-e-c-t, take
out the ect!

Sock it to me
Sock it to me
Sock it to me
Sock it to me
Sock it to me'
Sock it to me
Sock it to me
Sock it to me
Sock it to me


8.Somewhere

(sondheim／bernstein)

There's a place for us
Somewhere a place for us
Peace and quiet and open air
Wait for us somewhere

There's a time for us
Someday a time for us
Time together with time to spare
Time to learn, time to care

Someday, somewhere
We'll find a new way of living
We'll find a way of forgiving somewhere

Yes, there's a place for each of us
A place of peace and quiet
And we must try to persue this place
Where love is like a passion that burns like a fire
And also fulfillment of two hearts' desire
Let our efforts be as determined as that of a little stream
That saunters down the hillside seeking its level
Only to become a huge river destined to the sea

Yes, there's a place for us
Somewhere a place for us
Hold my hand and were halfway there
Hold my hand and i'll take you there
Somehow, someday
Somewhere

Hold my hand and were halfway there
Hold my hand and i'll take you there
Somehow, someday
Somewhere


9.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...


10.Tcb

(kohan／angelos)

Stop whatever you're doing
Hold it right there
Drop whatever you're doing
There's not a minute to spare
Time is flying, grab it
Break that nowhere habit

Tcb and tcb
Tcb
Tcb do it now

Don't sit around and wonder when to
Now is the time for all good men to
You know the way to start today to tcb do it now

Break that routine that's got ya strung out
Come sing a song before you sung
Better begin and jump right in and tcb what you're doing now

Whats the good of living safe and sound
With your head in the sand
Pull it out and look around
Take a stand

There's so much more to life than livin'
Taking is easy, now try givin'
Give up that easy life and make that break
And you'll be tcb
Ya you'll be
Tcb
Which means you're taking care of business
Taking care of business
Taking care of business

Taking care of business

Miss diana now the stage is yours
And the lovely supremes
Thanks to each and everyone of you
You are dreams
No, diana we're the temptations
(dreams are an altitude)
All the formalities are done now
Let's loosen up and have some fun now
Ladies it's time for you to do your thing
Swing out and tcb
Swing out and tcb
Show them you're
Taking care of business
Taking care of business
Taking care of business

Tcb
Stop whatever you're doing
Tcb
Stop whatever you're doing
Tcb
Stop whatever you're doing
Tcb


11.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


12.The Way You Do Thethings You Do

(robinson／rodgers)

You got a smile so bright
You know you could've been a candle
I'm holding you so tight
You know you could've been a handle
The way you swept me off my feet
You know you could've been a broom
The way you smell so sweet
You know you could've been some perfume

Well you could've been anything
That you wanted to and i can tell
The way you do the things you do
The way you do the things you do

You made my life so rich
You know could've been some money
And baby you're so sweet
You know could've been some honey

Well you could've been anything
That you wanted to and i can tell
The way you do the things you do


13.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


14.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


15.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...
