"I Love You (Call Me)"

   
(Aretha Franklin)

I love you, I love you
I love you too
Baby will you call me
The moment you get there

I love you, I love you
And I love you too
Baby will you call me
The moment you get there

My tears, my dearest of all, darling
I know, I know, I know
I know we've got to part
Baby, baby, baby, it really doesn't hurt me that bad
Because you're taking me with you and
I'm keeping you right here in my arms

It's all because I love you
Call me, call me the hour
Call me the minute, the second you get there

"How About You"

   
(David van DePitte/Deke Richards/Sandra Sanders)

If you really think I'm fine
Then why don't you just take the time
And call me
Baby, hurry, come see me

Friends all say you speak my name
Well, let me say
I feel the same about you
Can't do without you
How about you?

Hey! Baby, what's wrong?
You look so surprised
I can tell by the look in your eyes
That you need me
And I need you too

Hey, baby what's wrong
You know you need me
And I need you too
How about you?

I know all the words
That I wanna say
But if I do will you walk away
And leave me here
By myself with my tears

Baby I still have my pride
Eventhough it's not enough to hide
My love for you
Baby, I love you
How about you?

Baby, how about you
Do you need me too
Baby, how about you
Do you need me too
Baby, how about you

"(They Long To Be) Close To You"

   
(Burt Bacharach/Hal David)

Why do birds suddenly appear
Everytime you are near?
Just like me,
They long to be close to you

Why do stars fall down from the sky
Everytime you walk by
Just like me,
They long to be close to you

From the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moondust in your hair
Of gold, and starlight in your eyes of blue

Ah, that is why the girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me,
They long to be close to you

Just like me,
They long to be close to you
Just like me,
They long to be close to you

From the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moondust in your hair
Of gold, and starlight in your eyes of blue

Ah, that is why the girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me,
They long to be close to you

Like me, like me, like me
I wanna be close to you

Woo, Ah, close to you
Woo, me too
I wanna be close to you

Ooh, I wanna be, me too
I wanna be close to you

From the day that you were born
The angels got together
A dream come true
That's you, that's you
And I wanna be close to you

"I'm Still Waiting"

   
(Deke Richards)

I remember when
I was five and you were ten, boy
You knew that I was shy
So you teased and made me cry
But I loved you

Then one day you came
You told me you were leaving
You gave your folks the blame
And made me cry again
When you said

Little girl
Please don't wait for me
Wait patiently for love
Someday will surely come
Ooh, little girl
Please don't wait for me
Wait patiently for love
Someday will surely come
And I'm still waiting

I'm waiting
Ooh, still waiting
I'm just a fool
Ooh, I'm a fool
To keep waiting

Then someone finally came
He told me that he loved me
I put him off with lies
He could see I had no eyes
So he left me once again alone
Like a child without her playmate
I had to face the truth
I was still in love with you
But you said:

Little girl
Please don't wait for me
Wait patiently for love
Someday will surely come
Ooh, little girl
Please don't wait for me
Wait patiently for love
Someday will surely come
And I'm still waiting

Love has never shown his face
Since the day you walked out that door
You filled my life with empty space
Come back
Can't you see it's you I'm waiting for

Don't you know I'm waiting
I'm waiting for love
For you, I miss you
I'm waiting
Come on back, boy
I need you
I want you
That's what my friends says

"Surrender"

   
(Nickolas Ashford/Valerie Simpson)

I want the love that you deny me
That I need so desperately
The tenderness that you posses
You've deprived me

You must pray for the lonely night
That I walked the floor for you
And don't know you must erase
All the tearstairs on my face

Surrender your love baby
Surrender your love
Surrender your love baby
Surrender your love

Don't you know that I'm taking my case
To the highest court of love
And these are some of the charges
You'll be found guilty of

You've used me and abused me
'Till I felt like I wanted to die
You created a need in me
That only you can satisfy

Surrender your love baby
Surrender your love
Come along peacefully
Surrender your love baby
Surrender your love

Give it to me, ah right now
Give it to me, give it to me
Give it to me all, give it to me
Ah, right now, give it to me
Give it to me, give it to me

Surrender your love baby
Surrender your love
Surrender your love baby
Surrender your love

Surrender your love baby
Surrender your love
Surrender your love baby
Surrender your love

"I Can't Give Back The Love I Feel For You"

   
(Brian Holland/Nickolas Ashford/ValerieSimpson)

Here's a tear, for a souvenir
And a dream, that's torn at the seams
Here's a promise you made to me
Of the tomorrow I'll never see
And then you're free to go

But I can't give back the love
I feel for you
I'm gonna be stuck with it
No matter what I do

Take these arms that held you close
I thought I was the one you needed the most
Take these hands, they're no good to me
That used to touch you so tenderly

But I can't give back the love
That's a part of me
If you want just a little bit
You have to take all of me

Here's a ring
That didn't mean a thing
And the letters you wrote
That gave my young heart hope
Take the pillow where my dreams were made
And the mind, where the thought of you stayed
But baby, you should know

That I can't give back the love
I feel for you
I'm gonna be stuck with it
No matter what I do

Take these eyes that once could see
Now reflections of a misery
The hapiness I thought would last
Now a becoming just a thing of the past

But I can't give back the love
That's a part of me
If you want just a little bit
You have to take all of me

No, I can't give back
No, I feel for you
Oh, I'm gonna be stuck
No matter what I do
'Cause it'll grow 'till the world
Don't go 'round no more

But I can't give back the love
I feel for you
I'm gonna be stuck with it
No matter what I do

But I can't give back the love
I feel for you
I'm gonna be stuck with it
No matter what I do

But I can't give back the love
I feel for you
I'm gonna be stuck with it
No matter what I do

"Remember Me"

   
(Nickolas Ashford/Valerie Simpson)

Bye baby, see you around
Didn't I tell you I wouldn't hold you down
Take good care of yourself, y'hear
Don't let me hear about you shedding a tear
You're gonna make it
You're gonna take it

Remember me as a sunny day
That you once had, along the way
Didn't I inspire you a little higher
Remember me as a funny clown
That made you laugh when you were down
Didn't I boy, didn't I boy

Remember me as a big balloon
At a carnaval that ended too soon
Remember me as a breath of spring
Remember me as a good thing

Bye baby, see you around
I already know about the new love you've found
What can I do but wish you well
What we had was really swell
I won't forget it, I have no regrets

Remember me as a sound of laughter
And my face the morning after
Didn't the sky beckon us to fly?
Yes, you'l remember the times we fought
But don't forget me in your tender thoughts
Please darlin' oh yeah

Remember me when you drink the wine
Of sweet success and I gave you my best
Remember me with every song you sing
Remember me as a good thing

Remember me as a sunny day
Please darling, remember me as a good thing
Remember me when you drink the wine
Remember me as a good thing
Remember me as a big balloon
Don't forget me darling

"And If You See Him"

   
(Nickolas Ashford/Valerie Simpson)

And if you see him
Tell him I miss him
Tell him I feel so bad
For messing up what we had

And if you see him
Tell him I'm sorry
And I regret the day
I let him walk away

And I want to be by his side
And I need his love and pride
And I need him

And if you see him
Tell him I'm begging
I'll do a song and dance
Just for a second chance

And if you see him
Tell him just how I look
The circles underneath my eyes
The make up don't seem to hide

And I stay awake every night
And I pray that he just might walk in
And love me
Walk in and love me

I miss him more than he'll ever know
Tell him he was
My everything
He was more than just a flame
And I need him
I miss him

And if you see him
Tell him my fire
No, it's just won't burn
Till the day that he returns

And I want to be by his side
And I need his love and pride
And if you see him
Tell him I'm begging

"Reach Out, I'll Be There"

   
(Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Edward Holland,Jr.)

If you feel that you can't go on
'Cause all your hope is gone
And your life is filled with confusion
And hapiness is just an illusion
And your world around is tumblin' down
Darling, reach out
Reach out, reach out

I'll give you all the love you need
I'll be there
You can always depend on me

I can tell by the way you hang your head
Your with out of love, now you're afraid
And through your tears you look around
But there's no peace of mind to be found

I know what you're thinking
You're alone now, no love of your own
Darling, reach out
Reach out for me boy

I'll give you all the love you need
I'll be there
Hey baby, I'm gonna be right there
You can always depend on me

You can always depend on me
You can always depend on me
You can always depend on me
You can always depend on me
You can always depend on me

When you're lost and about to give up
'Cause your best ain't good enough
And you feel the world has grown cold
And you're driftin' on your own
When you need a hand to hold
When you need a little love

Reach out, I'll be there
Reach out, I'll be there
Reach out, I'll be there
To give you all the love you need
I'll try ro give you all the love you need
I'll be there to love and shelter you

I'll be there to always see you through
To give you all the love you need
I'm gonna give you all the love you need
I'll be there...

"Didn't You Know (You'd Have To Cry Sometime)"

   
(Nickolas Ashford/Valerie Simpson)

Remember when you left?
You had your own rules about playing the game
And any day, you could walk away feeling no pain

Now look at yourself
You're all hung up on somebody else
And in your eyes I see all the signs of the misery
That you laid on me

Baby, baby
Didn't you know you'd have to cry sometime?
Didn't you know
Didn't you know you'd have to hurt sometime?
Didn't you know that you'd lose your pride?
Didn't anybody tell you love had another side?

You used to be so proud
Now, your head's a little lower
And you walk slower
And you don't talk so loud

You've gotten wise
You know how love can build you up one moment
And the next, cut you down to size
Then you discover
All she told you was a bunch of lies

Baby, baby
Didn't you know you'd have to cry sometime?
Didn't you know
Didn't you know you'd have to hurt sometime?
Didn't you know that you'd lose your pride?
Didn't anybody tell you love had another side?

Baby, baby
Didn't you know you'd have to cry sometime?
Didn't you know
Didn't you know you'd have to hurt sometime?
Didn't you know you'd have to cry sometime?
Didn't you know you'd have to hurt sometime?
Didn't you know you'd have to hurt sometime?
Didn't you know you'd have to hurt sometime?
