Solomon Burke - The Platinum Collection [compilation] (2008) by Solomon Burke (보컬) on maniadb.com

I'm so happy to be here tonight
So glad to be here in your wonderful city
I have a little message for you
And I want to tell every woman and every man tonight
That's ever needed someone to love
That's ever had somebody to love them
That ever had somebody's understanding
That's ever had someone to need your love all the time
Someone that's with them when they're up
Somebody that's with them when they're down
If you had yourself somebody like this you better hold onto them
Let me tell you something
Sometimes you get what you want
And you lose what you have
There's a song I sing
And I believe that everybody should sing this song you can save the whole world
Listen to me

Everybody needs somebody
Everybody needs somebody
Everybody wants somebody to love
Honey to hug
Sugar to kiss
Baby to miss now
Baby to tease
Sometimes to please yeah
And I need you you you
And I need you you you
In the morning baby you you you
When the sun goes down you you you
Ain't no nobody around you you you

Whoa Sometimes I feel like
I feel a little sad inside
When my baby mistreats me
And I can't get a little little mad
But I need you you you
Just to see me through
Somebody to hold my hand
When I feel a little lonely
Oh baby say yeah

I say yeah yeah
Yeah
Somebody
I just want my woman to stand up and say I love you
I want someone to be a witness
I just want to say I love you
I just want somebody to say yeah

Got to get you off of my mind
I know it's just a matter of time
You've found somebody new
And our romance is through
Yes it is

Gonna throw your picture away
You didn't want my love, any old way
You've found somebody new
And our romance is through
Yes it is

Some folks love is hard and strong
That's the kind of love that lingers on
Some folks love is swift and fast
That's the kind of love that'll never last

We had a love that was in between
And to me it was like a dream
If we had stayed together till June
Not a problem, bride and groom

That's why
Got to get you off of my mind
I know it's just a matter of time
You've found somebody new
And our romance is through
Listen to me

Got to get you off of my mind
I know it's just a matter of time
Got to get you off of my mind
I know it's just a matter of time

If You Need Me
Solomon Burke
Written by Wilson Pickett, Robert Bateman and Sonny Sanders
Peaked at # 37 in 1963
Also performed by Wilson Pickett as a minor Top 100 single the following month.
If you need me, I wantcha to call me
Said if you need me, all ya gotta do is call me
Don't wait too lo-o-ong if things go wrong
I-I-I'll be home, whoa-oh-oh, home
If you want me, send for me
I said if you want me, want, all ya gotta do is send for me
Don't wait too lo-o-ong, just-a pick up your phone
And I-I-I'll (hurry home where I belong)
People always said, darlin', that I didn't mean you no good. And you
would need me someday. Way deep down in my heart I know I've done the best I
could. That's why I know that one of these days, it won't be long, you'll come
walkin' through that same door (I'll hurry home). And I can imagine in my mind
that these are the words that you'll be sayin'.
I still love you, always thinkin' of you
And I still love, love, always thinkin' of you
Don't wait too lo-o-ong, just-a pick up your phone
And I-I-I'll hurry home (I'll hurry home)
Right there, where I belong

Down in the valley, the valley so low,
Late in the evenin', hear the train blow.
Hear the train blow, dear, hear the train blow,
Late in the evenin', hear the train blow.

The train won't stay, love, it goes right through.
It will be gone, love, and so will you!
Know I love you, dear, know I love you,
Angels in heaven know I love you!

The train is gone, love, and out of sight;
Goodnight my darlin', darlin' goodnight!

Goodnight my darlin', darlin' goodnight!

A love that runs away from me
Dreams that just won't let me be
Blues that keeps on bothering me
Chains that just won't set me free
So far away from you and all your charm
Just out of reach of my two empty arms

Each night in dreams I see your face
Memories and time cannot erase
Then I awake and find you're gone
Then I'm so blue and all alone
So far away from you so sweet and warm
Just out of reach of my two empty arms

That lonesome feeling all the time
Knowing you could not be mine
Dreams that hurt me in my sleep
Vows that we could never keep

So far away from you and all your charm
Just out of reach of my two empty arms, empty arms

Hey (Hey)
Everybody (Everybody)

All around the world
Every boy and girl
Take a lesson from me
That's - a stupidity

My Mama
She says I silly
My Papa
Says I look like a fool

Baby,
I don't mind criticism
They do that
Every day in school

Come along with me
See how much
Fun it can be
Wah-watch me

Oh, baby that's a stupidity

My Mama
She sais I silly
My Papa
Says I look like a fool

But
I don't mind criticism
They do that
Every day in school

Come along with me
See how much fun it can be
Watch it on tv

(No, Baby) That's a stupidity

You make me feel so good...

When your baby leaves you all alone
And nobody calls you on the phone
Ah, don't you feel like crying?
Don't you feel like crying?
Well here I am my honey
Oh, come on you cry to me.

When you're all alone in your lonely room
And there's nothing but the smell of her perfume
Ah don't you feel like crying
Don't you feel like crying?
Ah don't you feel like crying?
Come on, come on cry to me.

Well nothing could be sadder
Than a glass of wine, all alone
Loneliness, loneliness, it's such a waste of time
Oh-oh yeah

You don't ever have to walk alone, oh you see
Oh come on, take my hand and baby won't you walk with me?
Oh ya

When you're waiting for a voice to come
In the night and there is no one
Ah don't you feel like crying? (cry to me)
Don't you feel like crying? (cry to me)
Ah don't you feel like a-ca-ca-cra-co-cra-co-cra-cra, (cry to me)
Cra-co-cra-co-cra-cra crying? (cry to me)
Ah don't you feel like a-cra-co-cra-co-cra-cra,
Cra-co-cra-co-cra-cra crying?...

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

You're a bad little girl, it's true
But I'm not gonna walk out on you
They say you're a good for nothing, girl
But I'll stand up and tell the world

You're good for me, oh yes, you are
You're good for me
Oh, like a honey is good for the bee
You're good for me

You do two wrongs for every right
You put salt in my coffee just for a spite
You're no good for yourself
You're no good for nobody else

But you're good for me
Oh, you're good for me
Oh, sugar dumpling, can't you see
You're good for me

Let me tell you 'bout it

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, whoa, oh, oh, ooh

I was down on my sickbed
It was the end for me everyone said
Doctor Jones did all he could
Only your love did me some good

You're good for me oh, yes, you are
You're good for me
Like the sugar is good for the tea
You're good for me

That's all I'm living for
'Cause you're good

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, whoa, oh, oh, ooh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, whoa, oh, oh, ooh

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Now it was just the other day
These are the words I heard a soldier sing
He said, "Tell my babe
To keep a light in the window
Till I come home, till I come home"

Well, I don't know
How long or how soon
Maybe tomorrow, it may be never
Or maybe this afternoon

Somebody tell my baby
To please keep a light, keep a light
Keep a light in the window
Till I come home, home, home

Now darlin' you know
How much I need you
You see I been gone
So long, so long

But there's nothing
Will ever change the way I feel
I'm just asking you to hold on, baby
Please hold on, listen

I'm risking my life every day
To end this fight
But deep down inside my soul right now
I believe I know, I said, I know this cause is right

I just want you, baby
Please keep a light
Keep a light burning
In the window
Till I, till I, till I, till I, till I come on home again
