Carla Thomas

I look at the mountain, I look at the sun
I look at everything Mother Nature has done
Then I wanna know
Why can't I find a love of my own

I look at the skyline, I look at the trees
I look at the moonlight, I feel the soft breeze
Then I wanna know
Why can't I find a love of my own

Love, how I've waited for you
But it looks like you'll never come
So I sit down, sit down and think the thing over
Is it something I've done?

I look at the flowers in fullest bloom
I should be happy but I'm filled with gloom
'Cause I wanna know
Why can't I find a love of my own

'Cause I wanna know
Why can't I find a love of my own

> When I ask you where you've been
Don't get angry
I know you were with a friend
But that's just a woman's
Oh, that's a woman's
A woman's love
Oh, yes, it is
When I ask you to say you love me
I know you told just yesterday
But that's just a woman's
Oh, a woman's loving way
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Deep down in my heart
I know you're true
But I can't help
Oh, being jealous of you
You've got so much to satisfy me
And I know you'll keep on, keep on
Keep on keeping me happy, oh, oh
When I ask you to stay at home
I'm not being selfish, oh
I just don't wanna be all alone
And that's just a woman's
Oh, I said a woman's
A woman's love
Oh, yes, it is
I said that's a woman's
Oh, that's a woman's
Oh, it's a woman's love
Oh, yes, it is
I said that's a woman's
Oh, that's a woman's
That's a woman's love

Well, I can't stand to go on
With this conversation, oh no
Yeah, you made your point
And I've got the important information, yes, I have

Oh, don't say no more
Oh, don't say no more
Than goodbye, yeah, bye bye

Loving was a play toy
Undoubtedly, yes, it was
Or else you wouldn't take advantage
Of poor little me

So get away and don't say no more
Oh, don't say no more
Than goodbye, yeah, goodbye

Well, I can't stand to hear
Your excuses, no no
I suffer long enough
Too many abuses

So get away and don't say no more
Hey, get away, don't say no more
Than goodbye, hey, bye bye

Oh baby, oh baby, don't say no more
Get away, don't say no more
Just goodbye, yeah, goodbye

Hello there, merry christmas how you been
It's so good to talk to you again.
It's been a long long time
cant' explain why you crossed my mind
I guess it's just to wish you a merry christmas

My best friend's having a party
and everybody's going
I know it's gonna be alot of fun oh by the way
it's snowing

It's been a long long time
cant' explain why you crossed my mind
I guess it's just to say gee whiz it's christmas

It's funny that I have'nt thought to call you before
And why is it i haven't seen you around anymore
another year has passed and i can't erase
the memory of your smiling face
so i have to call you up and say
gee whiz it's christmas

so don't forget the party that we're throwing
the warm fires of the fireplace
will be glowing
It's been a long long time
still cant' figure out why you crossed my mind
I guess it's just to say gee whiz it's christmas

I'm wishing you a merry, have a merry christmas

Baby, I like what you're doing to me
I'm all messed up now
Baby, I like what you're doing to me

Your mama called you no good
And like most other men I see
You can't be true, it ain't in you
And it's no secret to me

But when you hold me in your arms
You're like ten good men wrapped in one
Baby, I like what you're doing to me
Baby, if I like what you're doing to me

You're just like your old daddy
They say he didn't treat your mama right
I'm not downing you for what you do
But the truth shall give the light

You're like Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde
But, oh, how you keep me satisfied
Baby, I like what you're doing to me
Baby, I like what you're doing to me

You make me feel all right now
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

You're like Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde
But, oh, how you keep me satisfied
Baby, I like what you're doing to me
Though you're no good
Baby, I like what you're doing to me

Oh, I like what you're doing
You make me feel so good
Baby, you make me feel so good
I like, I like, I like what you're doing
I like, I like, I like what you're doing

You make me feel so good
You make me feel so good, baby

Well, I play for keeps, baby
Said I play for keeps now
And once we get together
It's got to last forever

Now I won't let you love me
Turn around and snub me
Then shove me to the side
'Cause I've become accustomed
To having your sweet loving, baby
I won't be denied

And just as long as the flowers grow
Raindrops fall and the four winds blow
You've got to keep loving me and don't let go

'Cause, well, I play for keeps, baby
Said I play for keeps now
And once we get together
It's got to last forever now

You can have the soul of me
You got complete control of me
But you can love me just for a little while
You leave me cryin', cryin' like a baby child

But I don't want no one night man
To take me out on no one night stand
You've got to be a rest of my life man

'Cause I play for keeps, baby, yes I do
I play for keeps now
And once we get together
Oh, it's got to last forever

If I can't have the soul of you
Then I don't want no part of you
'Cause if you can't love me forever and a day
Then you might as well go away

'Cause, well, I play for keeps, baby, yes I do
I play for keeps now
Said I don't want no one night man
Said I can't stand the one night stand, no, no

'Cause I play for keeps, baby

I will always have faith in you
Oh, oh, in all you strive to do
People may say you don't want me
And don't need me and don't love me
But I will always have faith in you

Idle gossip is for the weak man
Oh, oh, a man who won't understand
But until I hear you say you don't want me
Don't need me and don't love me
I will always have faith in you

I love you dearest, more than words
Or gifts could ever say
I love you with my heart and soul
In every gentle way

And darling, I love you for each moment
Of each day and night
And for your boundless faith in me
In all I strive to do

I couldn't say sufficient thanks
To really let you know
But please believe me, dearest
I really, I really love you so

For if we keep faith, yes
You're gonna want me
And need me and love me
I will always have faith in you
I will always have faith in you

No time to lose
No time to lose
Lord, ain't got no time to lose

I've got to find my man
Make him understand

If he'll come back to me

Baby, let me be good to you
I'll do anything you want me to
Your love has brought me around
Every time I was feeling down
But I'm so glad you give me everything you had
Baby, let me be good to you
Now sit in your easy chair
What you want창??I'll bring it there
Even good can be better
Here's my love on a silver platter
Take it all
Baby, let me be good to you
Here it is창??take it all
And don't be shy
You need your alibi I want to do it
Baby, let me be good to you
Here it is,girl
I just want you to just take me all
Don't want you to be shy, Carla
You don't need no alibi
Baby, let me be good to you
Baby, let me, I want to be good to you

Tramp!
What you call me?
Tramp.
You didn't!
You don't wear continental clothes, or Stetson hats.
Well I tell you one dog-gone thing. It makes me feel good to know one thing. I know I'm a lover.
Matter of opinion.
That's all right, Mama was. Papa too. And I'm the only child. Lovin' is all I know to do.
You know what, Otis?
What?
You're country.
That's all right.
You straight from the Georgia woods.
That's good.
You know what? You wear overalls, and big old brogan shoes, and you need a haircut, Tramp.
Haircut? Woman, you foolin', ooh, I'm a lover. Mama was. Grandmama, Papa too. Boogaloo.
All that stuff. And I'm the only son-of-a-gun this side of the Sun. Tramp!
You know what, Otis? I don't care what you say, you're still a tramp.
What?
That's right. You haven't even got a fat bankroll in your pocket.
You probably haven't even got twenty-five cents.
I got six Cadillacs, five Lincolns, four Fords, six Mercuries, three T-Birds, Mustang,
Ooooooohhh, I'm a lover. Mama was. Papa too. I tell you one thing.
Well tell me.
I'm the only son-of-a-gun this side of the sun.
You're a tramp, Otis.
No I'm not.
I don't care what you say, you're still a tramp.
What's wrong with that?
Look here. You ain't got no money.
I got everything.
You can't buy me all those minks and sables and all that stuff I want.
I can buy you minks, rats, frogs, squirrels, rabbits, anything you want, woman.
Look, you can go out in the Georgia woods and find them, Baby.
Oh, you foolin'.
You're still a tramp.
That's all right.
You a tramp, Otis. You just a tramp.
That's all right.
You wear overalls. You need a haircut, baby.
Cut off some of that hair off your head.
You think you a lover, huh?

It's easy for a love to come and go
Oh, yes, it is
For you to be thrilled just one time
Then want no more

Oh, darling, when tomorrow comes
Will you still want the love I got
Oh, tell me, when tomorrow
Comes and find us
Will my kisses still be hot

Now will your love for me be
The kind of love that lasts
When you reach out to hold me
Tomorrow, will you reach out that fast

Oh, I want to know
When tomorrow comes
Will the need still be there
Oh, my lover
When tomorrow comes and find us
Tell me will you, will you still care

What I'm trying to say is
I don't want just a one day lover
Today with me, tomorrow with another
What I want is an everyday man
To prove that loving over and
Over again, oh, yeah, uh huh

Darling, when tomorrow comes
Will the need still be there
When tomorrow comes and finds us
Tell me, will, will you still care

I wanna know when tomorrow comes
I wanna know will, will you still need me
When tomorrow comes
Will your kisses be the way
They're supposed to be

I wanna know, know, know.....
