Tour

(vs.1)
While all the time that i was loving you
You were busy loving yourself
I would stop breathing if you told me to
Now you're busy loving someone else
Eleven years out of my life
Besides the kids i have nothing to show
Wasted my years a fool of a wife
I shoulda have left your ass a long time ago

(chorus)
Well i'm not gon cry,
I'm not gon cry,
I'm not gon shed no tears
No, i'm not gon cry,
It's not the time
Cuz you're not worth my tears
Well i'm not gon cry,
I'm not gon cry,
I'm not gon shed no tears
No, i'm not gon cry,
It's not the time,
Cuz you're not worth my tears

(vs.2)
I was your lover and your secretary
Working every day of the week
Was at the job when no one else was there
Helping you get on your feet
Eleven years of sacrifice
And you can leave at the drop of a dime
Swallowed my fears, stood by your side
I shoulda left your ass a thousand times

(chorus)

I know there are no guarantees
In love you take your chances
But somehow it seems unfair to me
Look at the circumstances
Through sickness and health 'till death do us part
Those were the words that we said from our hearts
So now when you say that you're leaving me
I don't get that part

(repeat vs.2)

(chorus)

Oh, no no no...

(vs.1)
I know
That you're just a man
But you're all the man i need
And i know
That you care and you'll never leave
No, you'll never leave

(chorus)
I love you so
I can't let go
You know it's real
The way i feel
I want to stay
I'll try to wait
On you my dear
My love's sincere

(vs.2)
You promised
That you never would cheat or lie
Lie to me, don't lie to me babe
And you promised
That you'd trust and believe in me
Please believe in me

Unnecessary pain (pain is pain)
Now tell me who would get the pain
(you know it hurts)
If we should go astray
What would we do
What would we say

(chorus)

(during chorus)
I wanna stay
You know i'll wait

I wanna stay
I'll try to wait on you, my dear
Baby you know, baby you know
Baby you know, baby you know
I wanna stay forever and a day

Oh, i love you
Oh, i need you
Everything is gonna be alright

You know i'll try to wait
I love you baby, love you baby yeahhh

(hook)
Why can't we work it out
Why baby? can't we try (why, why, why, why, why)
You said our love would always stand the test of time
(repeat thru chorus)

Let's take our time
Let's build our love
Stronger than it ever was

(chorus until fade)

<verse 1>
We are lovers true and through and though
We made it through the storm
I really want you to realize
I really want to put you on
I've been searchin' for someone
To satisfy my every need
Won't you be my inspiration
Be the real love that i need

<chorus>
Real love
I'm searchin' for a real love
Someone to set my heart free
Real love
I'm searchin' for a real love

<verse 2>
Oooh, when i met you i just knew
That you would take my heart and run
Until you told me how you felt for me
You said i'm not the one
So i slowly came to see
All of the things that you were made of
And now i hope my dreams and inspirations
Lead me to want some real love

<chorus>

I got to have a real love
Loves so true and oh baby
I thought your love was true
I thought you were the answer to
The questions in my mind
But it seems that i was wrong
If i stay strong maybe
I'll find my real love

<verse 3>
So i try my best and pray to god
He'll send me someone real
To caress me and to guide me twards
A love my heart can feel
Now i know i can be faithful
I can be your all in all
I'll give you good lovin' through the summertime,
Winter, spring, and fall

<chorus>(x2)

You see i'm searching for a real love
And i don't know where to go
Been around the world and high and low
And still i'll never know
How it feels to have a real love
Cause it seems it's not around
Gotta end it in this way because it
Seems he can't be found

<chorus>(x2)

Real love

Slow down baby
The lovin' ain't goin' nowhere

<chorus>
Don't rush baby
The lovin' ain't goin' nowhere
Slow down
Don't rush baby
The lovin' ain't goin' nowhere
Slow down

<verse 1>
When we make love
Baby all we got to do is take our time
And get it, get it right in the groove

Now there's no need for us to be
In a rush so slow it down
Slow it down and get it right

Now baby it's understood
When the lovin' is feeling good
So let's just take our time and make it last

<chorus>

<verse 2>
Now i've got a feelin' baby
That tonight could be the night
Don't rush it
Don't fight it

If you got a notion
Baby please let it be slow motion
Slow it down, baby
Keep it right there
Keep it right there

Now baby it's understood
When the lovin' is feelin good
So let's just take our time and make it last

<chorus>

Ooooh baby, not tonight
I don't wanna fuss and fight
I just wanna make it right
Ooooh there's work to do
I wanna get real close to you
I wanna get you in the mood

All the things you want to do
Just relax and i'll take care of you
And anytime you want me
I'm sayin that i love you every day
And i know that you love me
Baby, admit it

<chorus>
Give me all your love and don't stop
My love's waiting when you reach the top
(all night long)
Come into my bedroom honey
What i got will make you spend money
(all night long)

You know that i know that you love me
So if you just give me a chance
I can still show you romance
I know that you still savin' for
My flavor babe
So stop playin' hard to get
Let's make love like we first met

All the things you want to do
Just relax and i'll take care of you
And anytime you want me
I'm sayin that i love you everyday
And i know that you love me
Baby, admit it

<chorus>

And i'll say
Shoo bi do bi doob do do doo
Shoo do do do do do doo
Shoo do do bi doob do do do bi doob do do do do do do doo
Shoo do do do do do do doo do do doo do do doo....

Gotta believe, gotta believe in me
You gotta believe in me

<chorus>

You are my heat, you are my fire
You make me weak with soft desire

You're not mine, i can't deny it
Don't you hear me talkin' baby
Love me now or i'll go crazy
You're my heat, you are my fire
You're not mine, i can't deny it
Don't you hear me talking baby
Love me now or i'll go crazy

Time on my hands
Since you've been away boy
I ain't got no plans (no, no, no, no)
And the sound of the rain
against my window pane
Is slowly, is slowly driving me insane, boy


I'm goin' down
I'm goin down
Cause you ain't around baby
My whole world's upside down

Sleep don't come easy
Boy please believe me
Since you've been gone
Everything's going wrong
Why'd you have to say goodbye
Look what you've done to me
I can't stop these tears from falling from my eyes

(repeat)

I don't know what to do
If i ever loose you
I'll be goin' down
I said i'll be goin' down
Ohhh
Please forgive me baby
I'm so sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry
What did i do wrong?
I said
What did i do wrong?
Please forgive my baby
And come home
Goin' down, goin' down, goin' down

(vs.1)
I've been searching for someone
But never looked before my eyes
There you were to my surprise
It was so obviouse looking into your face
After playing a game of truth or dare
I wanted to stay at your place
I never thought that i
Would fall in love with you
But since the day we kissed
I knew it had to be you
I never thought we would be together
I can't believe i just made love to you
After all the things that we've been through
Now what are we gonna do
Ohh

(chorus)
Monday, a friend of mine
Tuesday, we played a game
Wednesday, you went away
Thursday, things weren't the same
On friday, you came back
I wanted to kiss you
On saturday
On sunday we made love
Now what are we gonna do

(vs.2)
As much as i, i want you
I don't wanna wreck a friend
I've already found in you
I've been there before
And i can't ignore
How two friends became one
But walked away with none
I cannot risk a friend
But the love is so good
I gotta make a choice
I would if i could
I never thought we would be together
How can i address you
"hey lover?", "hi friend!"
"how ya doin'?", "where ya been?"
I gotta make a choice

(chorus)

(guitar plays: george benson)

On sunday we made sweet sweet love
Tuesday we played a game
But sunday we made love
Now what are we gonna do?
A friend of mine

I know that i was wrong
For all that carrying on
But are you gonna hold this
Against me for life
You know all i wanted to do
Is be your wife
And make you happy

<chorus>

If you really don't want me
I wish you'd let me know
And i will go so far away
I can not stay
If you don't want me to,
I can be a fool for you no more

You see i tried
Tried to please you
The best way i know how
And i never deceived you
If only we could trust each other
Stop thinking foolish things
I don't want another lover

<chorus>
