1. _ You're All I Need To Get By
(nickolas ashford/valerie simpson)
When i was just a little girl
I wanted the world at my feet
Now all that's changed
'cause i have love
And now i do can see
You're all i need to get by
Like the sweet morning dew
I took one look at you
And it was plain to see
You were my destiny
With arms open wide
I threw away my pride
I'll sacrifice for you
Dedicate my life to you
I will go, where you lead
Always there in time of need
And when you lose your will
I'll be there to push you up the hill
There's no, no looking back for us
We've got love
Sure enough
That's enough
You're all i need to get by
All, you're all i need to get by
Like an mother protects his nest
For you i'll do my best
Stand by you like a tree
Dare anybody to try to move me
Darling in you i found
Strength where i was torn down
Don't know what's in store
But together we can open any door
Just to do what's good for you
And inspire you a little higher
I know you can make a woman
Out of a soul that didn't have a goal
'cause we, we got the right foundation
And with love and determination
You're all i want to strive for and do a little more
All, all the joys under the sun wrapped up into
You're all i need to get by
All, you're all i need to get by

2. _ Where There Was Darkness
(nickolas ashford/valerie simpson)
Where there was darkness
You came and now there's
An abundance of light
Nothing but sinkin' sand
Suddenly i reach out
There's your hand
What a feeling it is to know
You're in my corner
And you won't let me go
And now i know that
I won't be alone no more
I'll give you all i have
And if you teach me
I will learn to give you more
You are my anchor now
And like a ship at sea
Ooh, your love will steady me
What a feeling this is to know
You're in my corner
And you won't let me go
And now i know that
I won't be alone no more
I'm so glad
Just wanna thank you baby
What a feeling this is to know
You're in my corner
And you won't let me go
What a feeling this is to know
You're in my corner
And you won't let me go
What a feeling this is to know
You're in my corner
And you won't let me go
Thank you baby
What a feeling this is to know
You're in my corner
And you won't let me go

3. _ Dark Side Of The World
(nickolas ashford/valerie simpson)
Don't leave me, don't leave me here
On the dark side of the world
My days are darker than your nights
Since i lost you babe
Since i lost you babe
I'm like an ember
Fading out of sight
One more tear and i know i'll disappear
Bring back the sunshine
That you took away
Cause i need ya
And i want ya
Just don't think i'm gonna make it without your love
Don't you know
Such a loneliness i've never known
Since i lost you babe
Since i lost you babe
I'm like a woman who once knew splendour
Now all her wealth and riches
They are gone
Bring back the sunshine
That you took away
Cause i need ya
And i want ya
And i just don't think i'm gonna make it without your love
Bring back the sunshine that you took away
Now my future lies in back of me
Since i lost you babe
Since i lost you babe
I walk this lonely road to eternity
Just despair and emptiness everywhere
Bring back the sunshine
That you took away
Cause i need ya
And i want ya
I just don't think i'm gonna make it without your love
Don't leave me, don't leave me here
On the dark side of the world
Oh don't you leave me here
On the dark side of the world
Cause i need ya
Ooh you know i want ya
Right here on the dark side of the world

4. _ Keep An Eye
(nickolas ashford/valerie simpson)
Keep an eye
Keep an eye
Keep an eye
On your close friend
Keep an eye
Keep an eye
Keep an eye
On your close friend
'cause what you got that'll make you lose
And then turn around and step in your shoes
I say they'll turn around
And step in your shoes
I stood there numb
Watchin' my friend walk away
With my love on her arm
Oh, what she said was
"sorry for what i had to do
But you see i love him just as much as you"
Keep an eye
Keep an eye
On your close friend
Keep an eye
Keep an eye
You better watch out
For your close friend
The devil's workshop is a busy place
On top of evil there's an innocent face
Oh, on top of evil he puts an innocent face
She was just like a spider
Only twice as smart
Kindness was a thread
She used to weave my world apart
There were three of us seen all over town
Now there's only two
Someone's missing guess who
Now i see how she schemed and
Worked her way in between
Planted seeds of mistrust
To make us fight unaware
Her comforting ways when i would cry
Shadowed the look of triumph in her eye
Just like a snake on the limb tree
A friend is an enemy you can see
'cause what you got that'll make you lose
And then turn around and step in your shoes
I said they'll turn around
And step in your shoes
So you better keep an eye on your close friend
You better watch out for your close friend
Don't trust nobody
Don't trust nobody
Keep an eye on your close friend
Keep an eye
Don't trust nobody
Keep an eye on your close friend
You better watch out for your close friend
She was just like a spider
Only twice as smart

5. _ Can't It Wait Until Tomorrow
(nickolas ashford/valerie simpson)
I know you're standing there
Trying to say the words
You took so long to prepare
But i laugh, pretending i don't see
Cause i don't wanna hear
What you got to say to me
Can't it wait until tomorrow
Before you bring me the showers
Can't it wait until tomorrow
Give me 24 more hours
I 've seen it coming for quite sometime now
Don't you know i've tried to stop it
In every way i know how
And i know it's hard for you
As it is for me
So listen to my heart
Begging desperately
Can't it wait until tomorrow
Before you bring me the showers
Oh wait until tomorrow
Give me 24 more hours
Baby please give me 24 more hours
Can't it wait until tomorrow
Before you bring me the showers
Can't it wait until tomorrow
Give me 24 more hours
Can't it wait until tomorrow
Before you bring me the showers
Oh wait until tomorrow
Give me 24 more hours

7. _ Something On My Mind
(nickolas ashford/valerie simpson)
Something's on my mind
It's been troubling me a long long time
Now i think it would best
If you knew
Just how much i'm in love with you
I don't think it's fair
You walk by and pretend i'm not there
Boy don't you know
What you're putting me through
And just how long i've been wanting you
I've waited patiently
For you to come to me
And i've stood in long as i can
Now i've got to know
Got to know just where i stand
And i hope you're gonna say
All this time you've been feeling the same way
And you were playing such a silly silly game
And my loving you hasn't been in vain
Baby don't you know
And i hope you're gonna say
All this time you were feeling the same way
And you were playing such a silly silly game
And my loving you hasn't been in vain
Something's on my mind
Just how much i need you baby
Ah something's on my mind
That's been troubling me a long long time
Baby baby, something's on my mind

8. _ I Wouldn't Change The Man He Is
(nickolas ashford/valerie simpson)
I've got a funny kind of guy
Nobody knows him
Any better than i
Says without me
He can get along
But i know that's just a man's way
Of saying he's strong
But i wouldn't change him no
Oh i wouldn't change his funny ways
'cause he's the cause of my sunny days
And though sometimes he brings me little tears
Still love the man he is
If i do something to please him
He never gives me credit
If i think he'll bring me candy and roses
Huh, i might as well forget it
He's the kind of a man
Who likes his privacy
And when a mood hits him
I know when to let him be
But i wouldn't change him no
I wouldn't change his funny, funny ways
'cause he's the cause of my sunny days
And though sometimes he brings me little tears
Still love the man he is
Sometimes when he hurts me so bad
I think i've got migraine in the head
All he has to do is touch me
Tears disappear
I'll forgive him in a minute
I have to pretend
There ain't much i know
He's the kind of a man
Who likes to run the show
But i wouldn't change him, no
I wouldn't change his funny ways
'cause he's the cause of my sunny days
Though sometimes he brings me little tears
Still love the man he is
Oh i love that man
I wouldn't change his funny ways
And i wouldn't change the man he is..

9. _ Now That There's You
(nickolas ashford/valerie simpson)
Now that there's you
I can get up in the morning
Look down the lonesome road
Know that i have the strength to carry on
Now that there's you
Love abides in my soul
I have a purpose, i have a goal
I can reach out and touch the star
Yesterday it seemed so far
Now that there's you, oh you
No matter the trial
I'll get by 'coz i know there's an answer
Somewhere in your smile
Now that there's you
I can reach that mountain top
'till i get there i won't stop
I've a new sense of pride
It makes me do things i never tried
Now that there's you oh, you
I can feel i am real
At last i taste the honey
I'm alive for the first time
And the sun shines over
Now that there's you
Hey, you
Oh oh oh oh
I see all the colours the world was supposed to be
And now a robin sings and i know there's spring
Now that there's you
Every day i seem to find a new dimension of my mind
I'm no longer a piece of clay
My heart has some buried lungs to say
Now that there's you, oh you
I can feel i am real
At last i taste the honey
I'm alive for the first time
And the sun shines over
Now that there's you
Thank you baby
I feel i am real
At last i taste the honey
I'm alive for the first time
And the sun shines over
Now that there's you
I'm real i'm real
At last i taste the honey
I'm alive for the first time
And the sun shines over
Now that there's you
La la la la la
La la la la la la la
I'm alive for the first time
And the sun shines over
Now that there's you
I'm real i'm real
At last i taste the honey
I'm alive for the first time
And the sun shines over
Now that there's you

10. _ Ain't No Mountain High Enough
(nickolas ashford/valerie simpson)
If you need me, call me. no matter where you are, no matter how far. just call my name. i'll be there in a hurry. on that you can depend and never worry.
(you see, my love is alive it's like a seed that only needs the thought of you to grow. so if you feel the need for company, please, my darling, let it be me. i may not be able to express the de
F the love i feel for you, but a writer put it very nicely when he was away from the one he loved. he said down and wrote these words:)
No wind, (no wind) no rain, (no rain)
Nor winter's cold
Can stop me, babe (oh, babe) baby (baby)
If you're my goal
No wind, no rain,
Can stop me, babe
If you wanna go
I know, i know you must follow the sun
Wherever it leads
But remember
If you should fall short of your desires
Remember life holds for you one guarantee
You'll always have me
And if you should miss my love
One of these old days
If you should ever miss the arms
That used to hold you so close, or the lips
That used to touch you so tenderly
Just remember what i told you
The day i set you free
Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough (say it again)
Ain't no river wild enough
To keep me from you
Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough (say it again)
Ain't no river wild enough
To keep me from you
Ain't no mountain high enough
Nothing can keep me
To keep me from you
Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough (one more time)
Ain't no river wild enough (say it again)
To keep me from you
Ain't no mountain high enough
Nothing can keep me
To keep me from you

11. _ Reach Out And Touch (somebody's Hand)
(nickolas ashford/valerie simpson)
Reach out and touch
Somebody's hand
Make this world a better place
If you can
Reach out and touch
Somebody's hand
Make this world a better place
If you can
(just try)
Take a little time out of your busy day
To give encouragement
To someone who's lost the way
(just try)
Or would i be talking to a stone
If i asked you
To share a problem that's not your own
We can change things if we start giving
Why don't you
Reach out and touch
Somebody's hand
Make this world a better place
If you can
Reach out and touch
Somebody's hand
Make this world a better place
If you can
(just try)
If you see an old friend on the street
And he's down
Remember his shoes could fit your feet
(just try)
Try a little kindness you'll see
It's something that comes very naturally
We can change things if we start giving
Why don't you
Reach out and touch
Why don't you (why don't you)
Reach out and touch somebody's hand
Reach out and touch
Somebody's hand
Make this world a better place
If you can
Reach out and touch
Somebody's hand
Make this world a better place
If you can
