Teddy Pendergrass

Oh love I've waited all my life to find you
I've searched for you in every dream
and suddenly you reached out to me
oh love I remember when I first touched you
I remember how my heart had wings
to said upon
tell me what went wrong

Oh love when you were just within my reach
I was blind to find my dreams of being free
oh love it's not too late for you and me
there's still time as long as we believe
Beleive in love
I thought that I could live without you
I really thought that I was strong
but now you're gone
I'm not half as strong
oh love I never knew how much I missed you
I never knew I had to give to you
to keep you hear
now I need you here
oh love when you were just within my reach
I was blind
To find my dreams of being free
oh love it's not too late for you and me
there's still time
as long as we believe believe
believe in love
I never knew how life could fade away
a little bit more each day
without you I'm twice the fool
oh love
believe me when I say I'm sorry
we've got to find a way to talk things over
cause it's not over
Believe in love
oh love......

Let me give you what you've been waiting for
Baby I got so much love to give
I wanna give it all to you

Close the door
No need to worry no more
Let's bring this day to a pleasant end
Girl it's me and you now
I've waited all day long just to hold you in my arms
And it's exactly like I thought it would be
Me loving you and you loving me

Close the door
Let me rub your back where you say it's sore


Come on get closer
So close to me
Let's get lost in each other
Come here baby

I've waited all day long just to hold you in my arms
And it's exactly like I thought it would be
Me loving you and you loving me

Close the door baby
And let me know you're mine
Plenty good lovin' all through the night
And then again and then again
When the morning comes

Get Up, Get Down, Get Funky, Get Loose
Come on
Get Up, Get Down, Get Funky, Get Loose
Whatcha come out here for?
Whatcha come out here for?
Do you want to party?
Do you want to dance?
Come on people and come and get down, down
Down, down, down, down.

I come out here to party
And party is what I'm gonna do
I done worked hard both night and day
And now it's time for me to shake it loose

Took me an hour just to get here
Do you think I'm going to stand up on the wall?
Gonna have myself a ball, do you hear me?
Have myself a ball, come on y'all.

Come on Get Up, Get Down, Get Funky, Get Loose
Get Up, Get Down, Get Funky, Get Loose
Whatcha come out here for?
Whatcha come out here for?
Do you want to party? Do you want to dance?
Come on people come on and get down, down
Down, down, do,wn, down.

Although this crowd is full of people
There's room enough for you and me

I can get a chance to hold you in my arms
And whisper something sweet in your ear.
When you're having fun the time just slips away
So let's make use of the moments that we share.
Let's act like we don't care, do ya hear me?
Free like a bird in the air, come on people.

Get Up, Get Down, Get Funky, Get Loose
Get Up, Get Down, Get Funky, Get Loose

Do you feel like dancin?

It used to be every night
I would cry my heart out over you,
It used to be every day
I would wish you here close to me.

I couldn't sleep, couldn't eat,
I'd just sit at home and I'd weep,
But now all that has changed,
I've found someone to ease my pain

And it don't (hurt now no not now)
Baby it don't hurt now (no not now)
Well there's no more sleepless nights
No more heartaches, no more fights,
And it don't (hurt now, not now)

It used to be every time
I would hear a sad song, I would die.
It remind, me of when you and I
Were sooooo much in love

I couldn't sleep, couldn't eat,
I'd just sit at home and I'd weep,
But now all that has changed,
I've found someone to ease my pain

(And it don't) nooooo (hurt now, no not now)

Trying to tell you, (baby it don't hurt now,

Video Teddy Pendergrass - It Don't Hurt Now

Life is a song worth singing
Why don't you sing it?
Life is a song worth singing
Why don't you sing it?

You hold the key in the palm of your hand, use it
Don't blame your life on the master plan, change it

Only you generate the power
To decide what to do with your life
You're a fool if you think you're helpless
You control what you do with your life

Life is a song worth singing
Why don't you sing it?
Life is a song worth singing
Why don't you sing it?

Don't like the way you're living, too bad
Can't change your life 'cause it's out of your hand, so sad

So you sit on your pants and holler
'Cause the world ain't been treating you right
Don't you know you contain the power
To control destiny with your mind

You control what you do with your life
You're a fool if you think you're helpless
Can't change your life 'cause it's out of your hand, so sad, no

You got the power, use it, use it
You got to control destiny with your mind
Right here, right here, right here
You decide what to do with your life, well, well

Life is a song worth singing

It's so good lovin' somebody
And that somebody loves you back

To be loved and be loved in return
It's the only thing that my heart desires
Just appreciate the little things I do
Oh, you're the one who's got me inspired
Keep on liftin', liftin' me higher

So good, good lovin' somebody
And that somebody loves you back
It's so good needin' somebody
And that somebody needs you back

We can build a world of love, a life of joy
Make our goal each other's happiness
I will do for you anything that I can
Oh, everyday I wanna do a little more
Do a little more, just a little bit more

It's so good, good lovin' somebody
And that somebody loves you back and that's a fact
It's so good wantin' somebody
And that somebody wants you back

Said it's so good

Oh...ho...

To be loved and be loved in return
It's the only thing that my heart desires
Just appreciate the little things I do
Oh, you're the one who's got me inspired
Keep on liftin', liftin' me higher

So good lovin' somebody
And that somebody loves you back and that's a fact
It's so good needin' somebody
And that somebody needs you back

Said now 70/30
Now 60/40
Talkin' 'bout a 5-/50 love

Said it's so good lovin' somebody
And that somebody loves you back, yeah

Said now 70/30
Now 60/40
Talkin' 'bout a 5-/50 love, yeah

It's so good, good lovin' somebody
And that somebody loves you back, yeah
It's so good, good

I'm so glad that there's you
I've experienced over and over when
I've given 80% and she's given 20%
Now she's givin' 70% and I'm givin' 30
But you just don't know how it feels to have somebody
That you can share your life
Somebody that you don't mind talkin' to
Somebody that you don't mind goin' the middle of the road
I know a lot of guys today they wish they had somebody just like you
I don't know when the last time I told you
But girl, you make me so very happy
I think we've got something that a lot of people don't seem to have
Talkin' 'bout a 50/50 love, yeah

I don't love you anymore
It's just that simple
No, no, no, not like before
Such a shame, dirty shame

We can't work it out
No, not this time
We can't be together
We can only be friends

You gotta respect each other
You gotta reply to your lover
It could never be,
It could never be like it was before,
You don't know what I'm talkin' about

I don't love you anymore
It's just that simple
No, no, no, not like before
Such a shame, dirty shame

I'll take care of my responsibilities
I'll send you your money
Every month, you can depend on that
You better believe that you can

But we can't live together
This way we'll be much better

'Cause you say you never know
You say you never know
Where I'm comin' from
You see I just got to tell ya

I don't love you anymore
It's just that simple
No, no, no, not like before

I just got to tell ya
I don't love you anymore
No, no, no, not like before
I don't love you anymore
No, no, no, not like before

Said I try, and I try, and I try
Said I try

I tried being your man
Tried doing everything that I can
But we can't make it
But we can't make it
We just can't make it
We just can't make it

Maybe someday
Once we get our heads together
Oh, oh, oh oh
Well, we can try baby, try baby

I don't love you anymore
No, no, no, not like before
I don't love you anymore
No, no, no, not like before

I don't love you anymore
No, no, no, not like before
I don't love you anymore

The whole town's laughing at me

Yeah, I had your love right here
In the palm of my hands
And I lost it and I lost it
Had a love so new, one a man feel
And I lost it and I lost it

Maybe if I had spent more time with you
Maybe then, maybe then you'd still be mine
Oh and only if I had been just a little more kind to you
There'd be no need, for this man to be cryin'

The whole town's laughing at me
Silly fool, how'd you lose such a good friend?

Had my dream so near
I could reach out and touch it
And I lost it and I lost it
Had a world complete
It was, oh, so sweet
And I lost it and I lost it

Maybe if I had spent just a little more time with you
Maybe then, maybe then you still be mine
Oh and only if I had been just a little more kind to you
There'd be no need, for this man to be cryin'

The whole town's laughing at me
Silly fool, how'd you lose such a good friend? Oh

Maybe if I had spent more time with you
Maybe then, maybe then you still be mine
Maybe I think about it
And only if I had been just a little more kind to you
There'd be no need, for this man to be cryin'

The whole town's laughing at me
Silly fool, how'd you lose such a good friend?
The whole town's laughing at me
Silly fool, how'd you lose such a good friend?
The whole town's laughing at me
Silly fool, how'd you lose such a good friend?

I'll hold you and touch you and make you my woman
I'll give you my love with sweet surrender
Tonight our hearts will beat as one
And I will hold you, touch you
And make you my woman tonight

There's something in your eyes I see
A pure and simple honesty

Hold me in your arms tonight
Fill my life with pleasure
Let's not waste this precious time
This moment's ours to treasure

Hold me in your arms tonight
We'll make it last forever
When the morning sun appears
We'll find our way together

I believe you when you say that you love me
Know that I won't take you for granted
Tonight the magic has begun
So won't you hold me, touch me
Make me your woman tonight

There's something in your eyes I see
I won't betray your trust in me

Hold me in your arms tonight
Fill my life with pleasure
Let's not waste this precious time
This moment's ours to treasure

Hold me in your arms tonight
We'll make it last forever
When the morning sun appears
We'll find our way together

I'll hold you and touch you
And make you my woman tonight

Hold me in your arms tonight
Fill my life with pleasure
There's something in your eyes I see
Let's not waste this precious time
This moment's ours to treasure

Hold me in your arms tonight
We'll make it last forever
Something in your eyes I see
When the morning sun appears
We'll find our way together

Hold me in your arms tonight
Fill my life with pleasure
There's something in your eyes I see
Let's not waste this precious time
This moment's ours to treasure

Hold me in your arms tonight
We'll make it last forever
There's something in your eyes I see
When the morning sun appears
We'll find our way together

You know, I'm no beginner
My hearts been to the wall
I'm a tried and true romantic
Who's seen and done it all

And when you walked into my life
Suddenly I knew
All the love I had inside
Was leading me to you

In my time
I've lived and loved so much
Through each high and low
I let my heart be touched

In my time
There isn't much I've missed
I've seen love come and go, but heaven knows
I've never loved like this in my time

After all that I've been through
I'm in love with you

I've won some and I've lost some
But us dreamers don't complain
We keep reaching out for passion
No matter what the pain

When I looked into your eyes
It all fell into place
I found, what I was searching for
Shining in your face

In my time
I've lived and loved so much
Through each high and low
I let my heart be touched

In my time
There isn't much I've missed
I've seen love come and go, but heaven knows
I've never loved like this in my time

After all that I've been through
I'm in love with you

In my time
I've lived and loved so much
Through each high and low
I let my heart be touched

In my time
There isn't much I've missed
I've seen love come and go, but heaven knows
I've never loved like this in my time

After all that I've been through
I'm in love with you

Mmm

I dreamed of you last night
And oh, your face was so very clear
All I could do was think about the good times
That you and I used to share

I could remember the last time
Oh, I held you in my arms
But all those days have come and gone now
And all I seem to do is cry

It hurts {It hurts}
Remembering how things used to be
We thought our love {Our love}
Could last throughout eternity
Now it's history, baby

It should've been you, whoa
It should've been me
It should've been all those that life
Was meant to be

But if I had you, oh, babe
This time you'd see
You would have all my love
I kept {I kept} inside {Inside} me

Now you've got somebody else
Yes, I've got somebody too
But you know I've finally realized
No one could ever take the place of you, no

I'm not the one to place the blame
Or for whatever the fault just might be
All I need is to find a little happiness
Oh, in life that will fulfill me

It's you {It's you}
It's you that means more to me
Without your love
It's nothin' more than fantasy
Baby, come back to me, whoa

It should've been you, whoa
It should've been me
It should've been all those that life
Was meant to be

It should've been you
It should've been me
We could've built a love so strong
But my eyes were closed and I didn't see

Oh, it should've been you
It should've been me
It could've been all the that life
Was meant to be, was meant to be, meant to be, babe

Oh, if I had you, girl
This time you'll see
This time you would have all the love
That I kept, oh, I kept, I kept inside of me

Oh, it hurts {It hurts}
Remembering how things used to be
We thought our love
Could last throughout eternity
Now it's history, whoa, baby

It should've been you (It should've been you, baby)
It should've been me (Should've been me)
It could've been all those in life (All those things in life)
That was meant to be (That was meant to be), oh, baby

I know, I know, I know, I know it should've you
It should've been me
We could've built a love so strong (We could've built a love so strong)
But my eyes were closed and I didn't see

It should've been you (It should've been you, baby)
Oh, it should've been me (Should've been you and me)
It could've been all those in life
That was meant to be, that was meant to be, oh

{Could've been, should've been you}
Oh, I know if I had you, girl
I know this time you'll see (This time you'll see)
I'll show you, baby (I'll show you, baby)
You could have all my love
All the love, all the love I kept wrapped up inside of me, oh yeah

Why don't you give me one more chance (Why don't you)
If you wanna be with me
Take a chance with me, baby
I woke up this morning with you on my mind

Oh, baby
Oh, baby
Come on
Try it again
Let's start all over
We can make it work this time
Come on

Joy

It's a joy
Joy to be
To be near you
I want you here with me

It's a joy
Joy to be
To be near you
I want you here with me

Lady, can't you see just how much you mean to me
Get a thrill each time I'm near you
I get such a rush, I crave to feel your tender touch
Magic moment paradise, oh, baby

Life is too damn short to let you get up in
I'm here to say I need your love, oh, baby
There's no greater pleasure than you give to me
Here me, baby, I want you to know

It's a joy
Joy to be
To be near you
I want you here with me

It's a joy
Joy to be
To be near you
I want you here with me

Darling, don't you know, my heart longs to hold you do
Passion burns inside my mind
You're my fantasy, no other love can set me free
I'm glad to know that you're all mine, mine

Sailing through the night, I'll find the certain pleasures
A million stars feel like the moon, so full of love
Nothin' takes the place of romance since you came
All you need is you and me, baby

It's a joy
Joy to be
To be near you
I want you here with me

It's a joy
Joy to be
I wanna be near you
I want you here with me

It's a joy
Joy to be
To be near you
I-I want you here with me

It's a joy, oh, baby
Joy to be
To be near you
I want you here with me

We're meant to be and I know we can win
Times I feel like a kid on a Ferris wheel
You make my world go 'round and around
So much to live for and I'm livin' it now

Joy
Joy
Joy

James would say, "Uh"
Ooh
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm

It's a joy, oh, joy
Joy to be, oh joy
To be near you
Want you here with me

It's a joy
Joy to be

Tell me how long, can we go on this way
Just to be strong
We talk through the night
But never reach the other side
We fill our lives
With endless words, an aimless search

When all that we need, we hold within our hearts
When will we find, our way out of the dark

[
]
We know that
Love is the power, love is the key
Love is the reason, reason to believe
Love is the answer, when we will see
Love is the power, love is the power, we need

Look at our lives, look at this world we've made
We close our eyes, and oh the price we pay
We reach for the sky
But never get beyond our pride

Fighting like fools
This faithless game, is such a shame

When all that we need we hold within our hands
Oh when will we find the faith to understand




All that we need we hold within our hands
Oh when will we find the faith to understand

Hey, have you ever tried
Really reaching out for the other side
I may be climbing on rainbows
But, baby here goes

Dreams, they're for those who sleep
Life is for us to keep
And if you're wond'ring what this song is leading to
I want to make it with you
I really think that we could make it, girl

No, you don't know me well
In ev'ry little thing only time will tell
But you believe the things that I do
And we'll see it through

Life can be short or long
Love can be right or wrong
And if I chose the one I'd like to help me through
I'd like to make it with you
I really think that we could make it, girl

Baby you know that
Dreams, they're for those who sleep
Life is for us to keep
And if I chose the one I'd like to help me through
I'd like to make it with you
I really think that we could make it, girl

Now you know we've been through a lot today
That's why we need to just sit back
And enjoy this evening
So if you'll choose me and you're my choice tonight

Right tonight, you're my choice tonight
You really got me, yeah, feeling right
Look out, girl, sure gon' be a heavy night

Choose her, beg her, what's your pleasure, girl
In the evening when the day is done
Why don't you ease back, honey
And let me be the one

To hold you, just to know you, girl
There's got to be a way
All the signs we go, easy, soft and slow
So how can we no, when

Feels so right, you're my choice tonight
It's you, baby, you, you, baby
What delight
Down right heaven like

Take this love, let it fly, oh girl, in the midnight sky
I said you got me, baby, feeling right
You're my choice tonight
Yes, you are, yeah

Come on, choose me, baby
Ooh, choose me, baby
Come on and choose me, baby
Would you do that, would you do that for me?
I did sound so good

I got love inside, made with us in mind
And it's ready to be tried
It's an all night plan for love makin'
As much as we can stand, ooh girl

Feels so right, you're my choice tonight
What delight, down right heaven like
Why don't you take this love
Let if fly, in the midnight sky
Feelin' right, you're my choice tonight

Come on and choose me, baby
Choose me, baby
Choose me, baby

Choose me, baby
Choose me, baby
Choose me, baby

Choose me, baby
Choose me, baby

Choose me, baby
Choose me, baby
Choose me, baby

Choose me, baby
Choose me, baby
Choose me, baby

Choose me, baby
Choose me, baby
Choose me, baby

Baby, I, oh, I
I can't live without your love
See, I'm smilin' on the outside, while I'm just cryin' on the inside
Facin' a world without your love

See, the truth has come to light
You're the reason nothing's right
Alone again tonight
All just because of some silly fight

I, oh, oh, oh, I
I don't wanna give without your love, foolishly I suffer
I only pretend, oh, just to fool my friend
Don't know what to do with myself without your love

There's a wounded empty space
Nothing can replace that love
That love, that love, that love that I lost
You're my life, you mean so much to me

And I can't go it alone
This winding, this winding road is so long
So pack it up, baby, get it together
Let's start all over again

I, oh, oh, oh, I
I don't wanna live without your love
While I'm smiling on the outside, I'm just cryin' on the inside
Facin' a world without your love

See, I'm fightin' sleepless nights
Tears have washed all hope from sight
Oh, wouldn't it be, wouldn't it be so right
If I had you right here with me tonight
If you only reach out your hand and save a heartbroken man
I can't live

Nine times out of ten
I'm falling inlove with you
Starting to need you more
As time goes by

Nine times out of ten
I'm falling inlove with you
Starting want you more
As time goes By

Since the day i met you
I feel so good inside
My world has come alive
Since i've known you, known you

I can't forget you
Your always on my mind
I've got this strong desire
To be near you

Nine times out of ten
I'm falling inlove with you
Starting to need you more
As time goes by

Wanna get to know you
I call you on the phone
I feel so all alone
Me here and you there

You gave my life reason
You make my puzzle fit
Oh i've got love to give
And i wanna give it to you

Nine times out of ten
I'm falling inlove with you
Starting to need you more
As time goes by

{Solo Instrumental}

I say nine times out of ten
I'm falling in love with you
Starting to need you more
As time goes by

Nine times out of ten
I'm falling inlove with you
Starting to need you more
As time goes, time go-oh-goes by-y-y-y

I say this time, this time
I'm falling inlove-love-love-love with you
I'm pretty sure i need you more
As time goes by

You know love is the most over used word in the world today
You know everybody uses the phrase I love you so loosely
I bet you couldn't count the times you've said I love you
Some people are confused, they think liking is loving
Oh, but there's a big difference between liking and love

You know this calls to mind the last time you told me you loved me
So the next time you say I love you
I want you to know exactly what love really is

Love is not jealous, love it does not brag
Love don't get puffed up, love it never fails, it never fails
So tell me, tell me that you love me
Now that you know what love really, really, really is
So tell me, tell me, tell me that you love me
Come on, tell me, show me that your love is real, that your love is real

Know love rejoices over truth
Sometimes the truth hurts but will stand the test of time
You know love bears all things and believes all things
Love hopes all things and endures all things
So the next time you tell me you love me
I want you to know exactly what you're saying

'Cause love is not selfish, love is not provoked, no no no
Love is long suffering, love is oh so kind, it's oh so kind
Now tell me, tell me that you love me
Now that you know what love, really, really, really is
Now tell me, tell me, tell me that you love me
Come on, tell me, show me that your love is real

Is it real? Is it real what you feel?
If not you're liking instead of loving
Is it real what you feel?
You tell me you love me
Can you look me in my eyes and say you love me?
Now that you know what love is

Is it real what you feel?
'Cause if not, you're liking instead of loving
Tell me is it real?
I got to know what you feel
'Cause what I feel is real

I can stand right here and say I love you
I can stand right here and say I love you baby
Now that you know what love is, is it real?

Is it real what you feel?
Now that you know, now that you know what love is all about
Can you tell me is it real?
Is it real? Is it real? Is it real?
Is it real what you feel?

I, I saw her today
We just met by chance and we smiled a lot
Not knowing what to say
'Cause you see, she's over me

And I, I looked in her eyes
And I saw enough to make me realize
It's dead and gone, I don't have a prayer
Of getting her back where she used to be
She's over me

We stood a minute or two
And we talk like strangers do, saying nothing at all
No one who saw us would know
That once she loved me so

But I?d never dreamed that she'd ever
Would ever be the one to go, no
She got herself free and now she's over me

She's over me

I, I kissed her goodbye
And that kiss killed every hope that I held inside
It tore me all that we had before
Was nothing more than ancient history
I can truly, truly, truly see she had took her some time
But she's finally over me

But I don't know what went wrong
All I know is I spend my life now
Thinking of how good we were
Guess that she?s over me, but I'll never been over her

I've been so many places, I've seen so many things
But none quite so lovely as you
More beautiful than the Mona Lisa
Worth more than gold
And my eyes have the pleasure to behold

You're my latest and my greatest
My latest, my greatest inspiration

Things never looked clearer, peace within never felt nearer
My burden's gone, it's turned to a song
Tender as a baby's touch, I needed you, oh, so much
At last the load is so light

You're the latest and my greatest
My latest, my greatest inspiration

I plan to give you all that I have
I'll be everything, everything you think I am
You make life a joy to live
And I'm thankful, yes, I'm blessed just to know you

I've been so many places, I've seen so many things
But none quite so delectable as you
More beautiful than the Mona Lisa
Worth more than gold
And my eyes have the pleasure just to behold

You're my latest, tell you you're my greatest
My latest, my greatest inspiration
You inspire me, inspire me
Don't you know, my latest, my greatest inspiration

You keep just keep on liftin' me up now
(Higher) Mmm
(Higher) You inspire me, I want you to keep liftin' me up
(Higher)
(Higher)

I want you to keep on liftin' me up
(Higher) Alright
(Higher) Alright
See, you got me, you got me doin' things
(Higher) I've never done before
(Higher) See, you inspire me, you inspire me

Don't you know I love you, girl
(Higher) Hey, hey, hey
(Higher) Mmm, mmm, hmm
You, you, you, you keep on liftin' me
(Higher) Higher
(Higher) Higher

Higher, higher, you, you, you keep on liftin' me
(Higher) Higher
(Higher) Higher
Oh, oh
(Higher) You keep on liftin' me
(Higher) You keep on liftin' me
You know what you do to me

Come on keep on liftin' me
(Higher) High
(Higher) Higher

Oh love I've waited all my life to find you
I've searched for you in every dream
and suddenly you reached out to me
oh love I remember when I first touched you
I remember how my heart had wings
to said upon
tell me what went wrong

Oh love when you were just within my reach
I was blind to find my dreams of being free
oh love it's not too late for you and me
there's still time as long as we believe
Beleive in love
I thought that I could live without you
I really thought that I was strong
but now you're gone
I'm not half as strong
oh love I never knew how much I missed you
I never knew I had to give to you
to keep you hear
now I need you here
oh love when you were just within my reach
I was blind
To find my dreams of being free
oh love it's not too late for you and me
there's still time
as long as we believe believe
believe in love
I never knew how life could fade away
a little bit more each day
without you I'm twice the fool
oh love
believe me when I say I'm sorry
we've got to find a way to talk things over
cause it's not over
Believe in love
oh love......
