N/A

Oh the world's situation should be rated X, oh rated X

Said the world's situation should be rated X, yeah rated X

Listen people, let only in the movie show

Take a look outside, I swear the truth is really told

It's life in living color; fighting, killing, drug-dealing, it's everywhere

What about the crime? Rated X

What about the killing, fighting, stealing everywhere?

They let the children see life destroyed

But they won't let them see its making

What happened to God's creations?

The one thing that really bothers me the most

Is how we come, how we take the lives of the fold

The world today is in a grave situation

Dirty water we can't drink, dirty air, it's so unfair



Na na na... Oh I know something's missing all over the world

Ooo, rated X (several times over sax solo)

Oh I know something's missing all over the world



The world's situation should be rated X, rated X

The world's situation should be rated X, rated X

What about the crime? Rated X

What about the killing, fighting, stealing everywhere?

They let the children see life destroyed

But they won't let them see its making

What happened to God's creations?

Where're the wars, where's the peace?

Where's the joy, where's the woe for us all?

Love is kneelin', rated X

Hate is overweight, rated X

I guess I'd have to say this album is

dedicated to you.

Although perhaps you may not be happy,

this is what you want,

so I conceded.

I hope it makes you happy.

There's a lot of truth in it, babe.



I don't think I'll have many regrets, baby.

Things didn't have to be the way they was, baby.

You don't have the right to use the son of mine

to keep me in line.

One thing I can't do without

is the boy whom God gave to both of us.

I'm so happy, oh, for the son of mine.



So here it is, babe.

I hope you enjoy, reminisce, be happy,

think about the kisses and the joy.

But there were those other moments too,

the times that were cloudy and grey.

Bad.

But you taught me that was life.

May love ever possess you,

may peace come into your life.

Always think of me the way I was.

Ha, I was your baby.



This is what you wanted.

Here, dear, here it is.

Here, my dear, here it is.

Seems just yesterday you were in my arms

And in a special way you touched my heart with all your charms

And now you're gone

Oh and I find myself, honey, I'm all alone

And there's no love left to take

Don't know where I fell, for you I've always cared

I did all I know

To win your love and make it so

You'd always stay but you turned away

Honey, what could I say?

How could you, how could you,

How could you do me this way?

'Cause I'm chained to your love and affection

'Cause I'm chained; oh your love's my only direction

Oh oh oh oh ah ah ah



I've got to make it right, somehow it's always wrong

Somewhere down the line

The love I've lost I've got to find, yeah

But it won't be long

I'm gonna make it right, baby

And carry you tenderly back home

'Cause I'm chained to your love and affection

'Cause I'm chained; every time I hear your name I tremble

I tremble, oh you know, oh you know



Oh baby, oh baby

Well, now I admit that I

Haven't been the perfect guy

For a girl as sweet as you

But my heart and soul cries, How do you?

Oh, that's all I need

Oh, gonna make it right, baby

If you just stay, stay with me

'Cause I'm chained

Oh I'm chained to your love and affection

Yes I'm chained

World, I'm not the same.

I can't remember my name half the time.

I took a walk - I thought I'd get some air -

but was really not aware of what I said or what I did.

I never see the dark of night or the light of day.

I took a walk into the park and never saw the children play.

Everything I see is a crazy kind of mystery to me.

I'm flirting with the mother of insanity.

Oh, babe, where is my mind?

Since you left me it's been hard to find.

Oh where, where is my mind?

It started to rain, and I felt insane,

but one thing's for sure:

It's going to rain forever more

until you come back to me.

Please, babe...



World, I'm not the same.

I go somewhere and can't remember how I came.

I'm completely turned around, lost in space.

It's your face I see constantly.

I never know from right or wrong, or anything.

I'm like a desperate man,

just see me try to cling

to the only other parts you've left to me. (*not sure*)

I'm flirting, I'm flirting with uncertainty.

Oh, bring back my mind.

Since you left me, honey,

I can't find it.

Oooh, honey, bring back my mind.

I'm starting to say (*really don't think this is right, so I'll check*)

more and more every day.

Please release my soul.

Give me back control of my mind.

Only you can save me.

I met a little girl, sure was fine

Pretty little thing just about blew my mind

She took me home and ahh made love to me

I knew right then and there this is where I wanted to be

Most of my life I had been all, all alone

And you're so sweet to me, don't think i'll ever roam

And then one day as time will pass

I had this feeling that our love would last

Nothing could go wrong and it seemed everything I did

Seemed to please you, all the heartaches you hid



Then one night after we made it, and we were through

That's when I decided I wanted to marry you



Do you take this woman to be your lawful wedded wife

To love, hold and cherish for the rest of your life?

I do, yes I do, I do darlin'

'Cause I love you



1964



Once you really loved me

Once I really loved you



1976



Then time would change you

As time would really change me

We thought our love would stand the test of time

And as I sing this song right now I wonder today, today

If you're a friend of mine



Cry cry cyr-I have done some crying

Woman, you have caused my tears to flow

Cry cry cry-d you cry about me?

Dou you think about the kind of love we had?

You don't want me

But I want to change your mind

Some ways, somehow

I wonder if love is just a fantasy

To share it's freshness, pure and fair

Oh don't play with suffering,

You should cherish for life

Don't you want to care

And in lonely I bear

There is a joy in a sweet word that's been spoken

And the joy in a dream that's come true

There's a joy that I get when I'm watching you baby, hey

And then there's a joy,

Oh my darling, of a crying baby

And the joy of a child that's born to you

Then there's a joy of a beautiful lady and the joy of the morning dew

It's something like the joy of loving you baby

Joy of dancin' too

It's something like the joy of lovin' you baby, yeah

Joy of being with you

Oh my darling, I'll overcome the darkest nights

Honey you do me wrong but still i'm crazy about you

Stay away too long and i can't do without you

Every chance you get you seem to hurt me more and more

But each hurt makes my love stronger than before

I know flowers go through rain

But how can love go through pain



Ain't that peculiar

A peculiar ality

Ain't that peculiar baby

Peculiar as can be



You tell me lies that should be obvious to me

I've been so much in love with you baby til i don't wanna see

That things you do and say are designed to make me blue

It's a dog gone shame my love for you makes all

Your lies seem true

But if the truth makes love last longer

Why do lies make my love stronger



Ain't that peculiar

A peculiar ality

Ain't that peculiar baby

Peculiar as can be



I cried so much just like a child thats lost its home

Maybe baby you think these tears i cry are tears of joy

A child can cry so much until you do everything they say

But unlike a child my tears don't help me to get my way

I know love can last through years

But how can love last through tears

There'll come a time, when the world won't be singin'

Flowers won't grow, bells won't be ringin'

Who's willing to try to save a world

When I look at the world it fills me with sorrow

Little children today are really gonna suffer tomorrow

Oh what a shame, such a bad way to live

All who is to blame, we can't stop livin'

Live, live for life

But let live everybody

Live life for the children

Oh, for the children

Save the babies, save the babies

So let me tell you 'bout

Last Saturday night

The club was rocking

Super freaks hanging out

Wall to wall

They tell me something's going on in the men's room

Soon as we come out we'll be high soon

Did you save a line for the ladies

We're not into that are you crazy

Who's the super freak in the red dress

When she starts to shake it, I can't take it

Get in the groove and boogie to the beat baby

Get in the groove and boogie to the beat baby

Shake it baby, shake it pretty

We got the party, we got the sounds

We're off in the streets and all the freaks are getting down

Get in the groove baby, and boogie to the beat

Shake, shake your thing

You freaky thing, the way you move you drive me crazy

You freaky thing, you freaky thing

You make me rock

You make me rock

You turn me on

Midnight lady, sexy dancer

Hot and hardy, love to party

We're jammin' to love

Major love minor love

Jammin' to a great crescendo

Let's party baby, shake it, shake it

Party night to remember

Oh, everybody's having fun

Come on and party turn the green light on



When I saw you

I had to stop

I had to stop in the middle of a bop

I had to stop

I got the rhythm

I got the rhythm

Love is everywhere for the making

Freaks is everywhere for the taking

Blues is in the air if you sing it

Happiness come back if you bring it

I'm having me a good time



Midnight lady, midnight lady

Rockin' and finger poppin'

Somebody said you was a super freak

I'm here to tell you I'm a super freak baby

Get in the groove

And stand around

And my body yearned to be free

So I got up on the floor and found

Someone to choose me

No more standin' along the side walls

Now I've got myself together, baby

Get down and prove it, feel all right

I guess I'm just a stubborn kind of fellow

Got my mind made up to love you



Ah say yeah yeah yeah, say yeah yeah yeah



(instrumental)



I'm gonna love you

(Gonna love you in every way)

In every way

(Gonna love you in every way)

I'm gonna love you

(Gonna love you in every way)

In every way

(Gonna love you in every way)



With other girls I've wanted

I've made it just a moment

With you I'll share each day

(I'll stay by your side)

Now I know you've heard about me

Bad things about me, baby, please let me explain

(Don't you listen to that jive)

Oh, I have kissed a few

I tell you, a few have kissed me too

I guess I'm just a stubborn kind of fellow

Got my mind made up to love you



(repeat and fade):

Ah say yeah yeah yeah, say yeah yeah yeah

Talkin', talkin' to the people

Tryin' to get them to go your way

Tellin' lies, not to worry

That we won't be led astray

So blind, unsignified

Your opponents always lying

Think about the mistakes you make

I believe America's at stake

You know, busin', busin' is the issue

If you have a plan wager

If you have a plan

If you've got a master plan

Got to vote for you

Hey hey, got to vote for you

You're the man



We don't wanna hear no more lies

About how you planned a compromise

We want our dollar value increased

Employment to rise

The nation's taxation

Is causin' all, all this inflation

Don't give us no V sign

Turn around and rob the people blind

Economics is the issue

Do you have a plan wager?

'Cause if you've got a master plan

Got to vote for you

You're the man



(8 times, over scat singing):

Don't you understand?

There's misery in the land

(One version fades out during this; read further for a longer version)



People marching on Washington

Better hear what they have to say

'Cause the tables just might turn against you, brother

Set around Election Day

Politics and hypocrites

Is turning us all into lunatics

Can you take the guns from our sons?

Right all the wrongs this administration has done?

Peace and freedom is the issue

Do you have a plan wager?

If you've got a plan

If you've got a master plan

Got to vote for you

Hey hey, got to vote for you

'Cause you're the man



(repeat and fade):

Got to vote for you

You think you're so way out

And you got all the action

Still you can't find no satisfaction

Baby - try me, and I'll make you see



You ain't livin' until you're lovin', baby

You ain't livin' until you're lovin', baby

Ooh, until you fall you ain't livin' at all

Ah ah, at all



You like to kiss and run

And that's where it is

'Cause somebody told you

love was heartaches and tears

baby, although you're free

I'll make you see



You ain't livin' until you're lovin', baby

You ain't livin' until you're lovin', baby

Oh, until you fall you ain't livin' at all

You ain't livin' at all



To be in love, I know it's not your ambition

but before you go, think about my proposition

you may conquer the world and be king on a throne

but you still ain't nobody, baby

when you're sittin' all alone



You ain't livin' until you're lovin', baby

You ain't livin' until you're lovin', baby

Ooh, until you fall you ain't livin' at all

My mistake was to love you, girl

Love you, girl

My mistake was to give you all

Tell the world



First I had you

In the palm of my hand

But I let you slip through

Like rain to sand

At the beginning

When I didn't care

Like my own reflection

You were always there



My mistake was to love you, girl

Love you, girl

My mistake was to give you all

Tell the world



You were sweeter

Then my very own skin

But what did I do for you

Not a thing

In front of my friends

You broke me down

Since then darling

It's hard to track you down



My mistake was to love you, boy

Love you, boy

My mistake was to give my all

Tell the world



Many a smile

You put om ny face

But I paid dearly

With the tears I taste



My tenderness

Made you cold, not sweet

'Cause if a girl loves you

You only call her weak



My mistake was to love you, boy

Love you, boy

My mistake was to give my all

Tell the world



My mistake was to love you, girl

Love you, girl

My mistake was to give you all

Tell the world

Ooh, I bet you're wondering how I knew

'bout you're plans to make me blue

with some other guy that you knew before.

Between the two of us guys

you know I love you more.

It took me by surprise I must say,

when I found out yesterday.

Don't you know that...



Chorus:

I heard it through the grapevine

not much longer would you be mine.

Oh I heard it through the grapevine,

Oh and I'm just about to lose my mind.

Honey, honey yeah.



I know that a man ain't supposed to cry,

but these tears I can't hold inside.

Losin' you would end my life you see,

cause you mean that much to me.

You could have told me yourself

that you love someone else.

Instead...



Chorus



People say believe half of what you see,

son, and none of what you hear.

I can't help bein' confused

if it's true please tell me dear?

Do you plan to let me go

for the other guy you loved before?

Don't you know...

Ooo, you say you're feelin' bad 'cause

The least thing makes you cry

Sounds like a real bad case

Of a girl who needs a guy

I think I know the perfect jewel

One you ought to try

Take a heart that's full of love

On this you can rely



CHORUS:

If you need some quick reaction, take this heart of mine

And if you need some satisfaction, take this heart of mine

And if you're tired of being lonely, take this heart of mine

I think I can help you if you'll only take this heart of mine



I may not be a doctor who can cure your ills

Goodbye to all those different drugs and hard-swallowed pills

My remedy is older than the tale of Jack and Jill

My prescription is the kind you love to have refilled



(chorus)



Got a lovin' side (this heart of mine)

That's pure as gold (this heart of mine)

Take it, it's yours (this heart of mine)

To have and to hold (this heart of mine)

And if you do that, baby (this heart of mine)

After we grow old (this heart of mine)

It'll be the greatest love story (this heart of mine)

That was ever told (this heart of mine)

Oh, baby (one more time, let's hold)



Oh, medicine won't cure you

Just leave you at the most

The relief is only temporary

Pretty soon will go

But love can last a lifetime

When two hearts are close

Take as much as you want to

There is no overdose



(repeat chorus and fade)

If this world were mine, I'd place at your feet

All that I own; you've been so good to me

If this world were mine

I'd give you anything

If this world were mine, I'd make you a king

With wealth untold, you could have anything

And there's no hesitation

When you want me, honey, just call me

T: And honey, you're my inspiration

And there's so much sensation

When I'm in your arms, when you squeeze me



M: And the sky would be blue

As long as you're lovin' me

Life is so wonderful

Give me pretty lovin', honey

Keep on lovin' me

You know I need you, baby

Dizzy spells, I bite my fingernails

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 my arms open wide,

I threw away my pride

I'll sacrifice for you

Dedicate my life for you

I will go where you lead

Always there in time of need

And when I lose my will

You'll be there to push me up the hill

There's no, no looking back for us

We got love sure 'nough, that's enough

You're all, You're All I need to get by.

I all, you're all I want to strive for and do a little more

All, all the joys under the sun wrapped up into one

You're all, You're all I need to get by.



You're all I need to get by.

Like an eagle protects his nest, for you I'll do my best,

Stand by you like a tree, dare anybody to try and 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 man 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, You're All I need to get by.

I all, you're all I want to strive for and do a little more

All, all the joys under the sun wrapped up into one

You're all, You're all I need to get by.

How sweet it is to be loved by you

How sweet it is to be loved by you



I needed the shelter of someone's arms and there you were

I needed someone to understand my ups and downs

and there you were

With sweet love and devotion

deeply touching my emotion

I want to stop and thank you baby

I just want to stop and thank you baby



How sweet it is to be loved by you

How sweet it is to be loved by you



I close my eyes at night,

wondering where would I be without you in my life

Everything I did was just a bore,

everywhere I went it seems I'd been there before

But you brightened up for me all of my days

With a love so sweet in so many ways

I want to stop and thank you baby

I want to stop and thank you baby



How sweet it is to be loved by you

How sweet it is to be loved by you



You were better to me than I've been to myself

For me, there's you and there ain't nobody else

I want to stop and thank you baby

I just want to stop and thank you baby

How sweet it is to be loved by you

How sweet it is to be loved by you

Hey baby, what'cha know good

I'm just gettin' back, but you knew I would

War is hell, when will it end,

When will people start gettin' together again

Are things really gettin' better, like the newspaper said

What else is new my friend, besides what I read

Can't find no work, can't find no job my friend

Money is tighter than it's ever been

Say man, I just don't understand

What's going on across this land

Ah what's happening brother,

Oh ya, what's happening my man

Are they still gettin' down where we used to go and dance

Will our ball club win the pennant,

do you think they have a chance

And tell me friend, how in the world have you been.

Tell me what's out and I want to know what's in.

What's the deal man, what's happening

What's happening brother

Ah what's happening brother

What's happening my man

Ah what's happening brother

What's been shaken up and down the line

I want to know cause I'm slightly behind the time.

You know, when you say your marriage vows, they're supposed to be for real. I mean...

if you think back about what you really said, you know, about, honor and loving and

obeying till death do us part and all. But it shouldn't be that way, it should...it

should, it shouldn't be lies because it turns out to be lies. If you don't honor what

you said, you lie to God. The words should be changed.



Ooo now as I recall, we tried a million times

Again and again and again, and that isn't all

I gave my love to you each time to make amends

Suddenly I start to realize I can't make it

Pretty birds fly away, I had to leave you for my health's sake

What to do? Make you pay, for leaving you, my fine, is to pay forever

So if a fresh new love comes in, I won't say those words again

Instead I'll say I'll try to love and protect you

With all my heart as long as you want me to baby



Ooo if I love again I'm gonna try a new way this time

Memories of the things we did; some we're proud of, some we hid

So when two people have to part, sometimes it makes them stronger

Do you remember all of the bullshit, baby?

You say you love me with all your heart

If you ever loved me will all of your heart

You'd never take a million dollars to part

I really tried, you know I tried, oh baby

Although we tried, all of those promises was nothin' but lies

I really tried, you know how I really tried, we really lied, didn't we baby?

And on top of that you have scandalized my name

What I can't understand is if you love me

How could you turn me into the police?

Didn't I love you good and try to take care of you?

Best that I could

You were so divine

And your love was like mellow wine

Pains of love, miles of tears,

Enough to last me for my lifetime

Broken hearts last for years, soon break away to the noonday sunshine

One thing I can promise, friend: I'll never be back again

But I'm not really bitter babe

I wish you all the luck and all the love in the world,

good love in the world (good luck in the world)

But I know you'll never be satisfied

No, you still want me standin' by your side



Memories haunt you all the time, I will never leave your mind

Got judgement on your side; you've said bad things and you've lied

Still I remember some of the good things baby

Like love after dark and picnics in parks

Those are the days I'll not forget in my life

I'd rather remember, remember the joy we shared babe

I'd rather remember all the fun we had

All I ever really wanted was to love you and treat you right

All we did was fuss and fight

It don't matter baby, take a lesson from them all

I never thought I'd see the day when you'd put me through what you put me through

You tried your best, you say I gave you no rest



(repeat and fade):

When did you stop loving me? When did I stop loving you?
