We took the long and steady road And from the start you had a heart of gold You broke the mold I never thought you would decide The grass was greener on the other side Of love's divide
You were everything that I wanted and more Now we can't go back where we started We'll never be like before
(Chorus) Darling me and you, we had a strange arrangement But you broke all the rules And I'm through playing the fool for love Darling yes it's true, we had a grand engagement But I can't stand by, while you break my heart in two Oooh, I've got to be a man Baby I've got to take a stand, so
So now we've gone our separate ways But in my heart I feel the burning flames Of love's remains I'll have to find somebody new But all who dare will be compared to you What can I do
You were everything that I dreamed I would find Now we can't go back where we started This is the end of the line
Don´t wanna see your tears Baby it'll be ok Don´t wanna see you cry darlin' No way! (ooooh) But it just don´t feel the same (just don´t feel the same) I know what you´re about (I know what you´re about) And I guess that I don´t love you anymore And I´m sorry, but it just ain´t working out
I´m sorry it just ain´t gonna work out (just ain´t gonna work out girl) (repeat)
Don´t want you to be sad girl Don´t want you to be afraid I know that will you understand my ways One day! (oooh) No need to be upset girl (you just don´t understand) Please don´t scream and shout (Please don´t scream and shout) I know that you were hearing wedding bells But I´m sorry 'Cause it just ain´t working out
I´m sorry it just ain´t gonna work out (just ain´t gonna work out girl) (repeat)
I'm not sure if it's really real now Is it a dream or maybe a game All I know since I lost you girl My life hasn't been the same Now everyday we grow closer together
The way you move your hips When your struttin' down the street Oh it makes a mess Oh we bend the knees
Lipstick on your lips When you say those words so sweet Oh have mercy darlin I'm beggin you please
When we're all alone girl, And there's no one else in sight And I'm holdin' you so tight And so true
Well then you pull away girl Just when I think that I'm home And you leave me all alone And I'm feeling so blue, well
Your easy lovin' ain't pleasin' nothin' Baby, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Forget teasing, loving I need that tender loving Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Come on
You know I need you girl Come on darlin' don't be scared It's as natural as the birds and the bees
I'll be on the floor When your dancing next to me Oh have mercy darlin, I'm begging you, please
When we're all alone girl, And there's no one else in sight And I'm holdin' you so tight And so true
Well then you pull away girl When there's magic in the air And you leave me hangin there And I'm feelin so blue
Your easy lovin' ain't pleasin' nothin' Baby, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Forget teasing, loving, I need that tender loving, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oooh, I don't want nobody else When I got you by yourself Come on, come on
Your easy lovin' ain't pleasin' nothin' Baby, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Forget teasing, loving, I need that tender loving, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Your easy lovin' ain't pleasin' nothin' Baby, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Forget teasing, loving, I need that tender loving, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Well I wish that it would rain Heavy rain down from the sky Maybe then you wouldn’t see the teardrops in my eyes Well I wish that it would rain It would be a great disguise Maybe then you wouldn’t see the teardrops in my eyes And all of the raindrops that fall down on my face Erase all the memories of you and your embrace I’ll long for the moment that I lose this bitter taste And I don’t want you to see me this way
Well I wish that it would rain Heavy rain down from the sky Oooh maybe then I wouldn’t see you walking right on by Well I wish that it would rain Let it storm just for awhile Oohh yeah maybe then you wouldn’t see this sadness in my smile Ooh noo and all of the raindrops that fall down on my face Erase all the memories of you and your embrace I’ll long for the moment that I lose this bitter taste And I don’t want you to see me this way
Rain down rain down (x2) Rain down rain down on me (Repeat)
Ooo, I may not drive a new Mercedes But I’ll chauffeur my girl, to the edge of the world I may not wear a golden watch now But I’ll be right on time, for a woman so fine
I got love so pure, The object of my affection, that’s her She lives on the other side of town And I know that her father doesn’t want me hangin’ around But I’m gonna turn her whole world upside-down If I make her mine, o mine, o mine When I make her mine
She shops on rodeo drive, But I love that girl, yes I love that girl And I know I’m qualified, to love that the girl She’s the only girl, in the whole wide world
I may not be a rich attorney But I’ll win my girls heart in a trail of love I may not have the giant mansion But I’ll treat her so right, keep her warm at night
I got love so pure, The only woman that I want in the world is her She lives on the other side of town And I know that her father doesn’t want me hangin’ around But I’m gonna turn her whole world upside-down If I make her mine, o mine, o mine When I make her mine
Oooh, I’m gonna make her mine, o mine, o mine I’m gonna make her mine
My baby’s got a one track mind Only shopping bags with expensive tags My baby’s got a one track mind And she buys her thrills when my heart unveils Ooh I know what I’m doing is wrong But baby gives me good loving all night long My baby’s got a one track mind But she’s so fine
My baby’s got a one track mind Only thing she knows is designer clothes My baby’s got a one track mind Only creme brulee and she gets away Ooh I know I’m in a bad situation But baby knows just how to get my heart beat racing My baby’s got a one track mind She’s so fine
When she walks in heels it gives me chills Oh but when I get the bills I swear my heart skips a beat for real My baby’s got a one track mind Only shopping bags with expensive tags My baby’s got a one track mind And she buys her thrills when my heart unveils Ooh I know what I’m doing is wrong But baby gives me good loving all night long My baby’s got a one track mind She’s so fine Yeah she’s so fine Ooh she’s so fine Yeah she’s so fine
Woo Hoo A baby’s born The father’s gone Can’t live with what he’s done You know now mama’s torn She can’t afford To raise her son
You know the ills of this world they can get you down You know the ills of this world they can get you down But then you get back up
Way down in New Orleans The city screams They’ve gone black and white And when the levy’s broke Woo hoo the city float And people lost their lives You know they needed aid They hoped and prayed But it was just too late And now the family’s cried They know inside Doesn’t have to be that way
You know the ills of this world they can get you down You know the ills of this world they can get you down But then you get back up
You know the ills of this world they can get you down You know the ills of this world they can get you down But then you get back up

I took our love for granted (Took it for granted yea) I never realized just how much I cared Now I?m going crazy without (Without you, I?m crazy, yea) I call out your name, oh but you?re not there
Ever since I walked out I haven?t felt alive I?m half the man that I was with you by my side I wish that I could dry all the tears that you cried (I didn?t mean it) I didn?t mean it (I didn?t mean it) oh When I said goodbye Oh if I- I could see you just one more time (one more time) I would say (I would say), say exactly what?s on my mind
