Darling, you always needed
And your tenderness is needed too And it seems that I'm never tired Loving you, loving you, oh oh Never was a feeling stronger Aching for the sweet things you do And it seems that I'm never tired loving you Should the mountains crumble to ashes And the rain should cease to fall And if the river stopped its flowing You'd still be my all in all And if the clouds cover the sky So the sunlight won't come through Then I will never, never, never, never, never, Never, tire loving you |

Do what you gotta do
Come on back see me when you can Man I can understand how it might be Kinda hard to love a girl like me I don't blame you much for wanting to be free I just wanted you to know I've loved you better that your own kin did From the very start it's my own fault What happens to my heart You see I've always known you'd go So you just do what you gotta do My wild sweet love Though it may mean that I'll never kiss Those sweet lips again Pay that no mind Find that dappled dream of yours Come on back and see me when you can Now I know it'll make you feel sad And make you feel so bad They say you don't treat me me like you should They got ways to make you feels no good I guess they got no way to know I've had my eyes wide open from the start And man you never lied to me The part of you that they'll never see Is the part you've shown to me So you just do what you gotta do My wild sweet love Though it may mean that I'll never kiss Those sweet lips again Pay that no mind Find that dappled dream of yours Come on back and see me when you can |

When you're lost in the rain in Juarez
And it's Eastertime too And your gravity fails And negativity don't pull you through Don't put on any airs When you're down on Rue Morgue Avenue They got some hungry women there And they really make a mess outa you Now if you see Saint Annie Please tell her thanks a lot I cannot move My fingers are all in a knot I don't have the strength To get up and take another shot And my best friend, my doctor Won't even say what it is I've got Sweet Melinda The peasants call her the goddess of gloom She speaks good English And she invites you up into her room And you're so kind And careful not to go to her too soon And she takes your voice And leaves you howling at the moon Up on Housing Project Hill It's either fortune or fame You must pick up one or the other Though neither of them are to be what they claim If you're lookin' to get silly You better go back to from where you came Because the cops don't need you And man they expect the same Now all the authorities They just stand around and boast How they blackmailed the sergeant-at-arms Into leaving his post And picking up Angel who Just arrived here from the coast Who looked so fine at first But left looking just like a ghost I started out on burgundy But soon hit the harder stuff Everybody said they'd stand behind me When the game got rough But the joke was on me There was nobody even there to call my bluff I'm going back to New York City I do believe I've had enough |

You took my love and now you gone
Since I fell for you Love brings such misery and pain I guess I'll never be the same Since I fell for you It's too bad It's so sad I'm in love with you You love me Then you snub me But what can I do? I'm still in love with you I guess I'll never see the lights I get the blues 'bout every night Since I fell for you |

Like a flower waiting to bloom
Like a lightbulb in a dark room I'm just sitting here waiting for you To come home and turn me on Like the desert waiting for the rain Like a school kid waiting for the spring I'm just sitting here waiting for you To come on home and turn me on My poor heart, it's been so dark since you been gone After all, you're the one who turns me of You're the only one who can turn me back on My hi-fi's waiting for a new tune The glass is waiting for some fresh ice cubes I'm just sitting here waiting for you To come on home and turn me on |

They say everything can be replaced
They say every distance is not near So I remember every face Of every man who put me here I see my light come shining From the west down to the east Any day now, any day now I shall be released They say every man needs protection They say every man must fall So I swear I see my reflection Somewhere so high above this wall I see my light come shining From the west down to the east Any day now, any day now I shall be released Standing next to me in this lonely crowd Is a man who swears he's not to blame All day long I hear him shout so loud Crying out that he was framed I see my light come shining From the west down to the east Any day now, any day now I shall be released |

Young, gifted and black,
Oh what a lovely precious dream To be young, gifted and black, Open your heart to what I mean In the whole world you know There's a million boys and girls Who are young, gifted and black And that's a fact! You are young, gifted and black We must begin to tell our young There's a world waiting for you This is a quest that's just begun When you feel really low there's a great truth that you should know When you're young, gifted and black Your soul's intact How long to be young, gifted and black How I long to know the truth There are times when I look back And I am haunted by my youth Oh but my joy of today Is that we can all be proud to say To be young, gifted and black Is where it's at! |

I walk the lonely streets; I watch the people passing by.I used to smile and say hello. Guess I was just a happy guy.Then you happened,girl, this feeling that posessses me.I just can't move myself. I guess it all just had to be.* I can't see nobody...no, I can't see nobody.Mine eyes can only look at you...you.I used to have a brain; I used to think of many things.I watched the falling rain and listened to the sweet birds sing.Don't ask me why, little girl. I love you and that's all I can say.You're ev'ry ,ev'ry breath I take.You are my nights; my night and day.* RepeatEvery single word you hear...is coming from this heart of mine.I never felt like this before...a love like yours so young and fine.And now as I try to forget you...it doesn't work out any way.I loved you such a long time ago...but in my eyes you'll always be.Every single word you hear...is coming from this heart of mine.I loved you such a long time ago...don't know why...And I don't know why...baby...* Repeat

Isn't it a pity
You don't know what I'm talking about yet But I'm gonna tell you soon, it's a pity, Isn't it a pity Isn't it a shame Yes, how we break each other's hearts And cause each other pain How we take each other's love Without thinking anymore Forgetting to give back, Forgetting to remember Just forgetting and no thank you Isn't it a pity Some things take so long But how do I explain When not too many people Can see that we're all the same We're all guilty And because of all the tears Our eyes can't hope to see Though I dont think it's applicable to me The beauty that surrounds them Child, isn't it a pity How we take each other's love, Most precious thing Without thinking anymore Forgetting to give back Forgetting to keep open the door But I understand some things take so long How do I explain Why not too many people Can see were just the same And because of all their tears Their eyes can't hope to see The beauty that surrounds them God, isn't it a pity The beauty that surrounds us And we don't see it We think things are just the same (We've been programmed that way) Isn't it a pity? If you want to feel sorry, isn't it a pity? Isn't it a pity? The beauty that surrounds us Because of all our tears Our eyes just can't hope to see Maybe one day at least I'll see me And just concentrate on Givin'! Givin'! Givin! Givin! Until that day Mankind don't stand a chance Don't know nothin' about romance Everything is plastic Isn't it a pity? My God |

Broken windows and empty hallwaysA pale dead moon in the sky streaked with grayHuman kindness is overflowingAnd I think it's going to rain todayScarecrows dressed in the latest stylesWith frozen smiles to chase love awayHuman kindness is overflowingAnd I think it's going to rain todayLonely, lonelyTin can at my feetThink I'll kick it down the streetThat's the way to treat a friendBright before me the signs implore meTo help the needy and show them the wayHuman kindness is overflowingAnd I think it's going to rain today
