George Benson - Live: Best Of... [compilation, live] (2005) by George Benson (보컬) on maniadb.com

You've got the love
You've got the power
But you just don't understand
Girl, you've been charging by the hour
For your love

I'm tryin' to show how much I love you
Still believe in romance
You're taking way too many chances
With my love

I remember
When you used to be
The talk of the town
All you get is lonely

Turn your love around
Don't you turn me down
I can show you how
Turn your love around

Without the woman I can make it
But I need the girl to stay
Oh, don't you let the lady take it
Away
When all I need's a taste of yesterday
But you stay at home
All they get is lonely

Turn your love around
Don't you turn me down
I can show you how
Turn your love around

Oh girl you know me
I'm alone until you show me
That you're still in love with me
We're gonna make it
We're gonna take it
Back where we belong

Turn your love around
Don't you turn me down
I can show you how
Turn your love around

Turn your love around
This time the girl became a woman
Don't you turn me down
Every woman needs a man
I can show you how
I love the girl, I love the woman
Turn your love around

Turn your love around
This time the girl became a woman
Don't you turn me down
Every woman needs a man
I can show you how
I love the girl, I love the woman
Turn your love around

Turn your love around
This time the girl became a woman
Don't you turn me down
Every woman needs a man
I can show you how
fade out

Are we really happy with
This lonely game we play
Looking for the right words to say
Searching but not finding
Understanding anyway
We're lost in this masquerade

Both afraid to say we're just too far away
From being close together from the start
We tried to talk it over
But the words got in the way
We're lost inside this lonely game we play

Throughts of leaving disappear
Every time I see your eyes
No matter how hard I try
To understand the reason
That we carry on this way
We're lost in this masquerade

We could just start over but it's oh so hard to do
When you're lost in a masquerade

remember the days when we never had a dime
and our dreams seemed a million miles away
but we made it baby
facin' the bad times with a smile
here we are and we're growin' stronger day by day

Chorus
cause we got love times love
it's always there for us to share
and girl it sure feels good to know
you're by my side
cause we're just two high hearts
that beat as one forever on
with love times love to keep us satisfied everynight

so my lady whisper the words i love to hear
cuddle up and i'll make you feel all right
cause i need you baby to carry me on through all the years
so come on baby close the door and dim the lights

repeat chorus

and there ain't no one in this world tonight
can change my point of view
so come on girl and hold me tight
the way you always do with love times me and you

chorus/background
love is multiplying
keeping us high
you know we'll never be divided
everything's right
girl i'm thinking about you

Never Give Up On A Good Thing
George Benson
(Tom Shapiro/Michael Garvin)
"The George Benson Collection" Warner Brothers


Never give up on a good thing
Remember what makes you happy [Whoa, whoa]
Never give up on a good thing
If love is what you got, you’ve got a lot

Money’s tight, he’s workin’ every night
It ain’t easy to keep the flame alive
And when he finally comes home to ya
He’s just too tired to do the things you want to

You can’t help but wonder to yourself
How would it be with someone else
Just keep in mind, every storm ends in time
Love is forever, stay together

[Stay together] When you got something real
[Love forever] That you may never feel again

Never give up on a good thing
Remember what makes you happy [Whoa, whoa]
Never give up on a good thing
If love is what you got, you’ve got a lot

Now you’re the man, you’ve got to understand
She don’t mean to make a scene
Like you, she feels all the weight you’re under
And when she breaks, is it any wonder

I know sometimes it crosses your mind
To get on out and stay hard to find
Before you try, you’d better look in her eyes
Love is forever, stay together

[Stay together] You’ve got something real
[Love forever] That you may never feel again
[You’ve got a lot]

[Stay together]
[Love forever]
You’ve got something real
That you may never feel again

Never give up on a good thing
Remember what makes you happy [Oh, oh]
Never give up on a good thing
If love is what you got, you’ve got a lot

Don’t give up your good thing
Don’t give it, oh, don’t, oh, oh
Don’t give up your good thing
Please don’t, oh, don’t
Don’t live it up, don’t give it up

Never give up on a good thing
Remember what makes you happy [Oh, oh]
Never give up on a good thing
If love is what you got, you’ve got a lot

Never give up on a good thing [Oh, he’s all you need]
Remember what makes you happy [Whoa, whoa]
Never give up on a good thing
If love is what you got, you’ve got a lot

Never give up on a good thing [Oh, he’s all you need]
Remember what makes you happy [Whoa, oh]
Never give up on a good thing

Whenever dark has fallen
you know the spirit of the party
starts to come alive.
Until the day is dawning
you can throw out all your blues
and hit the city lights.
'Cause there's music in the air
and lots of loving everywhere
so gimme the night. Gimme the night.

You need the evening action,
a place to dine, a glass of wine,
a little late romance.
It's a chain reaction.
You'll see the people of the world
coming out to dance.
'Cause there's music in the air
and lots of loving everywhere
so gimme the night. Gimme the night.

So come on out tonight
and we'll lead the others
on a ride through paradise.
And if you feel all right
then we can be lovers 'cause I see that
starlight look in your eyes.
Don't you know we can fly?
Just gimme the night. Gimme the night.

And if we stay together,
we'll feel the rhythm of the evening
taking us up high.
Never mind the weather.
We'll be dancing in the street
until the morning light.
'Cause there's music in the air
and lots of loving everywhere.
So gimme the night. Gimme the night...

They say the neon lights are bright on broadway
They say there's always magic in the air
But when you're walkin' down the street
And you ain't had enough to eat
The glitter rubs right off and you're nowhere

They say the women treat you fine on broadway
But lookin' at them just gives me the blues
'Cause how ya gonna make some time
When all you got is one thin dime
And one thin dime won't even shine your shoes

They say that I won't last too long on broadway
I'll catch a grey hound bus for home they all say
But they're dead wrong I know they are
'Cause I can play this here guitar
And I won't quit till i'm a star on broadway
