Brand New Me

(kenneth gamble / leon huff)

When i'm away from you, boy
All i seem to do is cry
Then, when i see you, boy
My, how the time does fly
I don't know if you need and love me
The way i love and need you
I just hope that we can get together soon, real soon

When i think about you, boy
Chills run up and down my spine
If my wish'd come true, boy
I'd be with you all the time
Wrong or right, day and night i miss you
And all my heart seems to do
Is just hope that we can get together soon, real soon

Wrong or right, day and night i miss you
And all my heart seems to do
Is just hope that we can get together soon
Oh, hope that we can get together soon
Oh, just hope that we, we can get together, baby
Hope that we can get together soon
I just hope that we, we can get together, baby
Hope that we

You say you love me
More than you could ever love her, ah, ha, ha
But circumstance has made you stay by her side
You'll never leave her
God knows you've tried
But i understand
A man ain't nothing but a man

Oh, why do i need you when we can't be together?
What good is "i want you", when you're passing me by?
Oh, i can't keep on saying "i love you" forever
What good is "i love you", when you're saying goodbye?, ahh, baby, yeah

No-one has ever made me so very happy
When we're together, baby
Everything is all right
Here on my pillow
Alone at night
Can't you see my heart keeps on crying?
Something's telling me you're lying

Why do i need you when we can't be together?
What good is "i want you", when you're passing me by?
Oh, i can't keep on saying "i love you" forever
What good is "i love you", when you're saying goodbye?, yeah, mmm, why?
Said i'm thinking about you now baby, why, ooh, why should i?

What good is "i need you" when we can't be together?
What good is "i want you", when you're passing me by?
Oh, i can't keep on saying "i love you" forever
What good is "i love you", when you're saying goodbye?
Baby, baby i love you forever
What good is "i love you" when you're saying goodbye?
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
You're saying goodbye
Baby, baby, i love you forever

I would be your water when your thirsty mouth was dry
I would be your sunshine when clouds are in the sky
I would stand that close beside you
And be your only friend
And i have promised love forever
There will be no end

Ooh, hoo, i'll be faithful
Ooh, hoo, i'll be true, too
Ooh, hoo, i'll be faithful, yes i will now
Ooh, hoo, oh my, true to you

Now i would be your music if you would like a song
I would sleep beside you when the winter's cold and long
I would be the pole to guide you, never would i bend
And i have promised love forever
There will be no end

Ooh, hoo, i'll be faithful, oh, yeah
Ooh, hoo, i'll be true too, mmm
Ooh, hoo, i'll be faithful, oh, yeah
Ooh, hoo, oh my, true to you, ooh, hoo

I have promised love forever
There will be no end

Ooh, hoo, i'll be faithful, oh, yeah
Ooh, hoo, i'll be true, too
Ooh, hoo, i'll be faithful, yes i will
Ooh, hoo, oh my, true to you

It's gone way beyond just lovin'
And for a long time now
It's been more than just a thrill
Oh, honey, i-i-i-i, i believe in you, oh
Oh, my, na, na, na, na, na, na, woah
Ma, na, na, na
Oh, my, na, na, na, na, na, na, woah
Ma, na, na, na

Oh, well my friends say
Say that you're good-looking
But i swear i can't tell them what you look like anymore
'cause honey, i-i-i-i-i, i believe in you, oh, oh


Well i feel it, i feel it
Oh, baby
I feel it in my heart

Well you did it, you did it
My heart is full
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, woah
Ma, na, na, na
I've waited a long time
To have me this feelin'
A sunday type of feeling
All peaceful and out of sight
Oh, honey,i-i-i-i-i, i believe in you
Oh, baby
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, woah
Ma, na, na, na
Oh, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, woah

(kenneth gamble / leon huff)

Such a silly, silly, silly, silly fool am i
Oh, i, just a silly, silly, silly, silly fool am i

Hey, i should have never fallen
Back in love with you
Knowin' how you get a pleasure
Breaking my poor heart in two
You made it sound so convincin'
When you said
"i'm your woman, you're my man"
Now i really need you
And i sit here a loser again

I guess i'm just a silly, silly, silly, silly fool am i, oh i
I'm such a silly, silly, silly, silly, fool am i, mmm

I should have never trusted
In my heart to lead the way
Now my mind is all busted
That's a fool's price to pay

You made it sound so convincin'
When you said you'd never, never go away
I should have never listened
To anything you had to say

I'm such a silly, silly, silly, silly, silly, silly fool am i, yes i am
I'm such a silly, silly, silly, silly fool am i, oh
Such a silly, silly, dilly, silly, dilly fool am i, oh yeah
I'm such a silly, silly, silly, silly, silly fool am i, oh yes i am
I'm such a silly, silly, dilly, silly, dilly, silly fool am i, oh yeah
I'm such a silly, dilly, silly, dilly, silly fool am i, oh
Silly, dilly

Dear lord above
I swear that i
I will never love again
Unless i'm lovin' him
Oh, no, oh, oh, oh

He came to me
With a twinkle in his eye
And i fell for him
Yes, i fell for him
Took me by surprise
Unaware was i
Well i fell for him
Oh, i fell for him

If i ever needed help
I need it now
Ain't none of my so-called friends
Got the power
To make my tears go 'way
So on my knees i pray
That you bring his love my way

Dear lord above
I swear that i'll
Never, never love again
Oh, no-ho

I stare down at the eyes
And wipe the tears i cried
When i fell for him
Yes, i fell him
Gettin' next to me
Was all he wanted to see
Well goody-good for him
Goody-good for him

When my heart's in trouble
And my mind's in doubt
You're the only one who could ever work it out
And bring the sun back in my day
So on my knees i pray
That you send his love my way

Dear lord above
I swear that i
I will never love again
Unless i'm loving him
No i'll never, never, never, never, never, never, never gonna love again
Oh, yes i'm never, never, never , never, never, never, never gonna love again

Dear lord above
I swear that i'll
Never, never, never, never, love again
Unless i'm lovin' him
Said i'm never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never gonna love again

(kenneth gamble / leon huff)

Used to be a time
When i wasn't doin' so good
But that was because i never understood
Just how much in love with me you were
But you paid your dues
Now i'm devoted to you

You're the star of my show
Always want you to do an encore
You're the star of my show, ooh, baby, baby

Used to be a time
When i wouldn't give reaction
Now, baby you're the centre of attraction
See your name shinin' brighter than the sun
Oh, you started at the bottom
And now you're number one

You're the star of my show
Always want you to do encore
You're the star of my show, ooh, hoo, baby, baby, baby, baby

Ooh, baby, baby, baby
Now you're the star, yes you are
You're the star, yes you are
You're the star, yes you are
You're the star, yes you are
Ooh, baby, baby, baby, baby
You're the star in my book
You started at the bottom
Now you're number one
Oh, you're the star in
Oh, yes you are
You're the star in
Yes you are
Baby, baby, baby

Nothing is forever
Always is a dream
Life goes by so fast
You try to make it last
The future turns to past
And summer turns to snow
Ohhh....ohhh

Nothing is forever
I will understand
If you want me for tonight
Just come and hold me tight
And with the morning light
If summer turns to snow
You can go
Ohhh....ohhh....

Now here i am wanting you
Yes here i am wanting to

For a lifetime or a day
Or just the month of may
Well, it's easier to stay
Knowing you can go
Ohhh....ohhh....

And nothing is forever
Nothing is forever

(alex harvey)

Someone who cares
Someone who dares to love you
Someone who thinks enough of you
To always be willing to share, mmmm

Someone who gives
Someone who lives inside you
Someone who'll be strong beside you
Through all the days that you live, mmmm

I've made up my mind that you're gonna love me
I've made in my heart a soft place for you
I've made up my mind that you're gonna love me
I've made in my heart a soft place for you

Oh, someone who dreams
Of being in your life tomorrow
And sharing your joys and your sorrow
Helping you see what it means
To be loved, mmmm

(kenneth gamble / leon huff)

(talk it over)
(talk it over)
You seem to think that everything is more important than me, baby
As if to think my world would be lonely without you on the scene
Oh, it's about time i moved up the ladder
Got to be number one or nothin' at all
Let's sit down, talk it over
Take that finger from your face
Look at me for goodness sake
Talk it over, hey, talk about it

I do everything i can to make life easy for you, baby
But you take me for granted
What is our love, our love comin' to?, oh
It's about time for us to have a talk
And maybe i'm not satisfyin' you boy
You gotta tell me 'cause this ain't right
Why ain't you oh-be holding me tight?

Let's sit down, talk it over
Take that finger from your face
Look at me for goodness sake
Talk it over, talk about it, baby
I said let's talk about it, baby
Ooh, talk about it, baby

Let's talk it over, yeah
Hey, talk it over
Hey, baby come on over here
Talk it over with me, baby, yeah
Hey, talk it over, baby
Talk, talk, talk, talk it over
Talk, talk, talk it over with me
Hey, talk it over

I was there when dreams came true
Stuck around when they fell through
Life's too short to play with your emotions
I gotta travel, i gotta travel

Said i wanna see the world
I wanna be a free girl
Said i wanna see the world
I gotta be a free girl, mmm

The silly games you played weren't new
Lost them all
But they beat you, too
There's no time for fooling with children
I gotta travel, i gotta travel

Said i wanna see the world
I gotta be a free girl
Yes, i wanna see the world
I gotta be a free girl, oh

Oh, life's too short to play with your emotions
I gotta travel, i gotta travel
Said i wanna see the world
I gotta be a free girl
Yes i wanna see the world
I gotta be a free girl
Yes i wanna see the world
I gotta be a free girl
Said i wanna see the world
Yeah, gotta be a free girl
