Rock steady baby!

With a feelin' from side to side
Sit yourself down in your car
And take a ride

Spanish Harlem

Chorus- Sweethearts Of Soul & Carolyn & Erma Franklin
Single 1971 #1 R&B #2 Pop


(La-la-la la la la la la la la)
(La-la-la la la la la la la la)

(There's a rose in black at Spanish Harlem)
(A rose in black at Spanish Harlem)

It is the special one
It never sees the sun
It only comes up
When the moon is on the run
And all the stars are gleaming
It's growing in the street
Right up through the concrete
But soft sweet and dreamy

(There is a rose in Spanish Harlem)
(A rose in black at Spanish Harlem)

With eyes as black as coal
That look down in his soul
It start a fire there and then he loses control
I'm gonna beg his par-ar-ar-ardon yeah
He's going to pick that rose
And watch her as she grows
In his garden

(There is a rose in Spanish Harlem uum uum)
(A rose in black at Spanish Harlem uum uum)

With eyes as black as coal
That look down in his soul
And start a fire there and then he loses control
And I wanna beg his par-ar-ar-don
He's going to pick that rose
And watch her as she grows
In his garden

(La-la-la- la la la la la la la)

Fades-
(La la la-la-la la-la-la la)

Don't play that song for me
'Cuz it brings back memories
Old days that I once knew
The days that I spent with you
Oh no! Don't let them play it
It fills my heart with pain
Please stop it right away
'Cuz I remember just what he said,
He said, "Darling" and I know that he lied
You know that you lied, you know that you lied
Lied, you lied (to me)
Hey mister don't play it no more. Don't play it no more
I can't stand it. Don't play it no more
No more, no more
I remember on our first date,
He kissed me and he walked away
I was only seventeen, I never dreamed he'd be so mean
He told me, "Darling, I love you". Baby, baby, you lied
You, you lied you know that you lied, lied lied
Oh darling, you know that you lied, yeah
You know I know you lied. Darling, you lied
You lied, you lied. You're all that I need
You lied. Oh, you lied.
Hey baby don't play it no more, don't do it
Don't play it no more, no more
I can't stand it no more
OOh hey! Don't play it no more

Holy Moses, I have been removed
I have seen the spectre, he was been here too
Distant cousin from down the line
Brand of people who ain't my kind
Holy Moses, I have been removed

Holy Moses, I have been deceived
Now the wind has changed direction
I think I'll have to leave
Won't you please excuse my frankness
But it's not my cup of tea
Holy Moses, I have been deceived, yes, I have

I'm going back to the border
Where my affairs, my affairs ain't been abused
I can't take any more bad water
I've been poisoned from my head down to my shoes
Yes, I have

Holy Moses, I have been removed

Holy Moses, can we live in peace
Let us try to find a way to make all hatred cease
There's a man standing over there
What's his color do you care
Holy Moses, can we live in peace

Holy Moses, can we live in peace
Holy Moses, can we live in
I wonder can we live in peace

Youre All I Need To Get By

-Aretha Franklin

(You're all I need to get by)
(You're all I need to get by)
(You're all I need to get by)
(You're all I need to get by)

As long as I got you then baby you know that you got me!
Oh (whoa-oh-ho)
I know that'll love him tomorrow ESBCT!(oh) whoa oh ho

Like the sweet morning dew
I took one look at you
And it was plain to see you were my destiny
With my arms open wide I threw away my pride
I sacrificed for you, dedicate my life to you
I will go where you lead, I'll be right there in a time of need
And when I lose my will, you'll be right there to push me up that hill

(There's no) no (no lookin' back for us) no way bab-bay
(We've got enough to show love that's enough)
(You're all) you're all, all (you're all I need)
(You're all, you're all I need, you're all)
You're all I need baby baby, to get by yeah, get by

Like an eagle protects his nest, for you I'll do my best
Stand by you like a tree and damn anybody that try an move me
Darling in you I found, straight for I was torn down
I don't know what's in store, but together we can open any door
Just to do what's good for you, I'll inspire you alittle bit higher
I know you can make a real man
I'm a soul that didn't have a goal

(Cause we've) yeah ( we've got the right foundation)
Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaah (and we've got determination)
Yes we do (oh) Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
(You're all, you're all I need you're all)

When you're down now
When you on the street

Whoa when darkness comes
And there's no one you love around
Just like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
(Like a bridge)
Just like a bridge
(Over troubled) over troubled water
I will lay me down

Sail on silver moon
Sail on by
Your time has come
To shine all of your dreams
Are on their way

Ooooh if you ever need a friend
(Need a friend)
Look around and sailing by
Just like a bridge

Come on come on

This is my same old coat
These are my same old shoes
It was the same old me
With a same old blues
Then you touched my lufe
Just by fallen
And when I look in the mirror
I see a brand new girl
Just cause of you

I got the same old friends
They got the same old shins
I tell the same old jokes
T oh just and I get the same old grins
Now the joke is on you
It happened somehow with you
Everyday of my life
I'm as fresh as morning dew

Just because of you

I go to the same old places
I see the same old faces
I look at the same old sky
See it all with a brand new light
I got brand new b
And I git a brand new smile
Since I found you baby
I got a brand new star

Day Dreaming
Aretha Franklin
(Aretha Franklin)
Chorus- C.Houston, M. Branch, B. Bryant, C. Franklin
Album- Young, Gifted and Black
1972 #1 R&B #5 Pop

(Day dreamin' and I'm thinkin' of you)
(Day dreamin' and I'm thinkin' of you)
(Day dreamin' and I'm thinkin' of you)
(Day dreamin' and I'm thinkin' of you)
(Look at my mind floating away)

He's the kind of guy that would say
"Hey baby let's get away let's go some place, huh?"
Where I don't care

He's the kind of guy that you give your everything
And trust your heart, share all of your love
Till death do you part

I want to be what he wants when he wants it
And whenever he needs it
And when he's lonesome and feelin' love starved
I'll be there to feed him
I'm lovin' him alittle bit more each day
He turns me right on when I hear him say

(Hey baby let's get away, let's go somewhere far
Baby can we?)
Where I don't care
(Hey baby let's get away, let's go somewhere far
Baby can we?)
Where I don't care

I wanna be what he wants when he wants it
And whenever he needs it
When it comes to bein feelin' loved starved
I'll be there to feed him
Lovin' him alittle bit more each day
It turns me right on when I hear him say

(Hey baby let's get away) hooo (let's go somewhere far
Baby can we?)
Where I don't care
(Hey baby let's get away, let's go somewhere far
Baby can we?)
Where I don't care

(Day dreamin' and I'm thinkin' of you)
(Day dreamin' and I'm thinkin' of you) woooo
(Day dreamin' and I'm thinkin' of you)
(Day dreamin' and I'm thinkin' of you)
(Look at my mind floating away)

(Day dreaming... thinking of you)
(Day dreaming ...thinking of you)
(Day dreaming....daaaay dreeeeming)

All the king's horse and all the king's men
They couldn't put my broken heart back together again.
I woke up this mornin' that this is what I found.
You had gone and left me,
Any you never even made a farewell sound.

All the king's horse and all the king's men
They couldn't put my broken heart back together again.
I asked my friends about you and this is what they said,
"She can live without you,
She's gonna find a man with money instead."

All the king's horse and all the king's men
They couldn't put my broken heart back together again.
Someday you will know, the meaning of a love that's true.
But when you find out I won't be around to share it with you.

All the king's horse and all the king's men
They couldn't put my broken heart back together again.
All the king's horse and all the king's men
They couldn't put my broken heart back together again.

Spoken:
I got a call the other day
It was my sister Carolyn, sayin'
"Aretha, come by when you can
I've got somethin' that I wanna say"

And when I got there she said
"You know rather than go through a long drawn out thing
I think the melody on the box will help me explain"

Gotta find me an angel
To fly away with me
Gotta find me an angel
Ooo and set me free

My heart is without a home
I don't want to be alone
I gotta find me an angel
In my life, in my life

Too long have I loved
So unattached within
So much that I know
That I need somebody so
So I'll just go on
Hoping that I find me someone
Gotta find me an angel in my life
In my life...in my life

I know there must be someone
Somewhere for me
Oh I lived too long
Without the love of someone
And there's no misery
Ooooh oooh like the misery
I feel in me

I gotta find me an angel in
In my life
(You'll meet him now don't you worry)
In my life
(Keep lookin' and just keep cookin')
In my life
(He'll be there, now don't you worry)
In my life.

One look in your eyes
Baby, just turns me on
So inviting to me
You know I feel that
They're my home

(Darling, reach out just for me)
And I, I had you so ? sense of pride
Your touch from behind
On the shoulder's so tender
(The deepness of your eyes)

[Chorus]
I can't stop loving you, baby
(The deepness of your eyes)
I feel the loving all the time
(The deepness of your eyes)

The wheel of fading fortune's standing

For a long, long, long day, yeah

People say that the eyes
Tell stories and they mirror the soul
Tell me, do we reflect
The sameness of one
The unity to have and to hold

(Darling, reach out just for me)
I been locked up in quiet seclusion
Only you can say is this is
Love or just an illusion
(The deepness of your eyes)

[Chorus]

The wheel of fading fortune's standing
For a long, long, long day, yeah

To make you laugh, I would be a fool for you
Although the people turn and stare
I really don't care
I would give my everything to keep you, boy
It breaks my heart when you?ve not there

I'll stage a ballet on a tabletop
Command performance finger size
And although I ain't got no tune
My show ain't gonna fly
I'll find the music there in your eyes

Oh me, oh my, I'm a fool for you baby (baby now)
(Fool for you) Oh me oh my (I)
I am crazy (crazy baby)
Oh me, oh my (me oh my)
Yeah I'm a fool for ya baby
C'mon let your love light shine on me
(Shine on me)

We'll blow a genie from a cigarette
And then we'll take a magic carpet ride
Yes we will
And we'll tell our smokey friend, hey don't you forget
Because you've got to keep us side by side, yeah

Oh me, oh my (oh me, oh my)
I am a fool for ya baby (be your)
(Your fool for ya)
Oh me, oh my, (I)
You know that I am (crazy) crazy baby
(Crazy baby) yes you do (crazy baby)
Oh me, oh my (oh me, oh my)
Whoa-oh I'm a fool (fool) for ya baby
(Need your)
Come on let your love light shine on me
(Shine on me)
Would you do that? (on me)
Come on let your love light shine
Just alittle bit (shine) right on me

Oh lover let your love light
Shine on me (shine on me)
Oh hear me now!
Oh me, me oh my
I'm a fool oh! for ya baby (now)

FADES-
Oh me oh my (I)
You know that I'm cra-a-azy baby
(Crazy baby)
Oh me, oh my.......

Though you don?t call anymore
I sit and wait in vain
I guess I?ll rap on your door
Tap on your window pane

I want to tell you Baby
The changes I?ve been going through
Missing you.
Listen you

?till you come back to me
That?s what I?m gonna do

Why did you have to decide
You had to set me free
I?m gonna swallow my pride
I?m gonna beg you to (please baby please) see me
I?m gonna walk by myself
Just to prove that my love is true
Oh, for you baby

?till you come back to me
That?s what I?m gonna do

Living for you my dear
Is like living in a world of constant fear
In my plea, I?ve got to make you see
That our love is dying

Although your phone you ignore
Somehow I must explain
I?m gonna rap on your door
Tap on your window pane
I?m gonna camp on your step
Until I get through to you
I?ve got to change your view baby
?till you come back to me
That?s what I?m gonna do

Love-love-love-love)

I?m in love.... yes I am

Oh, many say that I'm too young
To let you know just where I come from

Oh, but you will see that it's just a matter of time
My love will surely make you mine

Ooh, living in a world of ghetto life
Everybody around seems so uptight

Nothing's wrong
It's alright with
My man, my man

His loving ways send me on and on

Yeah, hey, with my man

I'm giving him something he can feel
Oh, ho, to let him know my love is real
Hey, hey, hey...

So much love for us to see
So much hope for material things
Are they only in my dreams

So I wrote this song for you
To prove that real things do come true
Tell me, tell me what it means

If you don't want it to get away
