Well, love's got a hold on me,won't let go;
'cause it's the real thing ba-by, I just want you to know That I love you all the way, More and more each day. I love to hear you say,'Well, loves got a hold of me too, I know it's true; I get that funny feeling just from being close to you. When I listen to your heart-beat Not another sound so sweet, Please hold my hand.' And we climbed the highest mountain And we sailed the seven seas, And nobody was with us At the top of the world in love And runnin' free. 'Baby, I'm on fire, And it feels so good To have this warm desire Like a woman should who's really got Someone to make love to. I'll stay right here forever with you.' Well, I'll be right here beside you till the end, And kiss your eyes and cast away your troubles to the wind, And love you for all my life, And take you for my wife, Please hold my hand. And we climbed the highest mountain And we sailed the seven seas, And nobody was with us At the top of the world in love And runnin' free. I can see the love light shinin' Like a rainbow in your eyes. Listen to your heartbeat. Ain't nobody here with us, Listen to your heartbeat, Ain't nobody here with us. Listen to your heartbeat, Ain't nobody here with us. |

Could you believe in a dream
When I tell you that it's true? Would you believe precious friend of mine? Could you believe when it seems You are glad with what you do It will give you the courage to carry The courage to carry your spirit up on high? Just to carry your spirit up on high I saw people in trouble I heard the angels cry 'Now don't tamper with my children' Made the Devil fly Spent the night with David He taught me what to say I was looking for a smooth stone When I heard him pray Could you believe in a dream When I tell you that its true? Would you believe precious friend of mine? Would you believe when it seems You are glad with what you do It will give you the courage to carry your spirit Up on high? Oh, I could sing of all kinds of reasons Reasons to lay your burden Softly down What kings and prophets did for freedom Precious dreams imprisoned Underground Well, I've got this song that I'll sing And I'll make the mountains ring Tell my mama That I'm homeward bound Could you believe in a dream When I tell you that it's true? Would you believe precious friend of mine? Could you believe when it seems You are glad with what you do It will give you the courage to carry The courage to carry your spirit up on high Just to carry your spirit up on high |

You don't see me when I'm
trying to do right Maybe you can see me now When I was walking, patting my feet on the pavement Really, truly trying to find a gig Did you stand up and speak out in my favor? Cold desperation, she's a devil in bed Scratching till my bones are bare Pill and needles are all I've left to savor We were walking and I told you of how my shoes Of how my shoes were wearing thin You took your surplus and traded for a favor Now I'm demented and I'm burned unto a cinder Forty hours buys a grocery bag for trash I took my pistol and I made myself a sinner Will this universe be merciful at last? You don't see me. You don't see me I get so tired of trying to attract your attention It has occurred to me that you don't see me You should go ahead. I'm a-gonna-go-ahead I know you're going to ahead You're going to do what you're going to do I know, see, I see you, I watch you You take the money and run You take groceries and run, too Don't leave nothing left for me You're running and hiding and ducking and hiding And running and hiding and I can't find you nowhere I'll beat your mama, I'll beat your daddy I'll go to jail, it don't make no mothafugging Difference what happens to me Going to be there in my own time, in my own way Cause you don't see me, you don't see me I'm, I'm in your mirror. |

Take Five
Stop your busy day And take the time out To see if I'm alive Though I'm going out of my way Just so I can pass by each day Not a single word do we say It's a pantomime and not a play Still, I know our eyes often meet I feel tingles down to my feet When you smile, that's much too discreet Sends me on my way Wouldn't it be better Not to be so polite You could offer a light Start a little conversation now It's alright, just take five Just take five |

I hardly had a bellyful
Never knew a new bicycle Hand-me-down books and shoes They brought the yule tides in July I rode a bus, a train and sometimes Strolling for miles to a movie show Singing a song "Shoobedoo "While birds and rich folks flew right on by But we got by Lord knows we got by Winter wishes wait till June We brightened July with that hot dog fun Tell your mama you're with Sue You bring the beans and I'll find the wine Them neon lights were bright till 2:00 And sneaking back home with this girl named Jo I hurried down to say do" And stared my first man-child in the eye But we got by Lord knows we got by And now baby's got his bellyful And finally here's that new bicycle Working, praying, June to June And mama's got LA gleaming in her eye And we got by Lord knows we got by You see we kept on walking and talking, hawking Ooing, cooing, wooing Loving, tugging, hugging, rubbing Sugging, fugging, laying, praying, swaying Letting, fretting, begetting, lying Flying, trying, sighing, dying. |
