1. _ Unforgettable
(duet with the late, great nat king cole)
Unforgettable, that's what you are
Unforgettable, though near or far
Like a song of love that clings to me
How the thought of you does things to me
Never before has someone been more
Unforgettable, in every way
And forevermore, (and forevermore)
That's how you'll stay, (that's how you'll stay)
That's why darling its incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that i am unforgettable too
(musical interlude)
No, never before has someone been more
Ooh unforgettable, (unforgettable)
In every way, (in every way)
And forevermore, (and forevermore)
That's how you'll stay, (that's how you'll stay)
That's why darling its incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that i am unforgettable too

2. _ Angel On My Shoulder
Written by natalie cole and richard marx
I never thought i'd ever make it, i can't believe the hell i've been through
Couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel, i didn't know what to do
I've been through the rain, i've been through the fire
There was something that i never knew
Chorus
I had an angel on my shoulder, with a plan for me divine
Must be an angel on my shoulder, who was right there all the time
(angel, must be an angel) this world can be so cold and so heartless
Its hard to find your way alone, i used to run so fast, no one could catch me
I couldn't find the way back home, but i've laughed, i've cried
I almost died, but my broken heart just never knew
Chorus
I had an angel on my shoulder, with a plan for me divine
Got to be an angel on my shoulder, who was right there
Right there all the time, everybody needs someone to cling to
With an unchanging love, i finally found a hand to hold on to
A shelter to run to, now i see he's watching over me
Chorus
(angel on my shoulder, angel) i've got an (angel on my shoulder)
Angel on my shoulder, with a plan for me divine
Got to be an (angel on my shoulder), angel on my shoulder
Who was right there, right there, right there all the time
Got to be an angel, an angel, an angel, right there all the time

4. _ Sorry
We used to be so very happy and we used to have so much fun
And we used to spend our time together, we were as close as anyone
I used to feel your every feeling, i was a part of your every dream
I'm not saying that you've thrown me aside, but oh that's just the way that it seems
So if i've done anything that i shouldn't have done,
Wanna say i'm sorry, darling, i'm so sorry
And if i said anything that i shouldn't have said, i'm sorry, sorry, yeah
Now we're just getting used to a brand new situation
And i found out that temptation just won't let ya do good
So we must sit down and talk and be for real to each other
Cause i don't want my love for you to be misunderstood
If i've done anything that i shouldn't have done,/p>
I'm sorry, oh baby, i'm so sorry, if i said anything that i shouldn't have said
(i'm sorry) i'm sorry, i'm sorry, oh lordy i'm so sorry
(sorry) sorry, sorry, hey----(sorry), if i've (if i've done anything) done anything
I (that i shouldn't have done) shouldn't have done

Pick youself up, take a deep breath, dust yourself off
And start all over again, nothing's impossible i have found
For when my chin is on the ground, i pick myself up
Dust myself off, and start all over again, don't lose your confidence if you slip
Be grateful for a pleasant trip, just pick yourself up, and dust yourself off
And start all over again, work like a soul inspired, 'til the battle of the day is won
You may be sick and tired, but you'll be a man my son
Will you remember the famous men, who had to fall to rise again
So take a deep breath, pick yourself up, dust yourself off and start all over again

Don't lose your confidence if you slip, be grateful for a pleasant trip
Just pick youself up, dust yourself off, and try to start all over again

Dust yourself off, have a nice trip and start all over again

9. _ The Winner
Written by c. jackson, m. yancy and g. barge
In this world of make believe i must confess
To be number one you've got to do it better
And if you strive to be happy you'll find success
Perspectively you've got to pull it together
Nothing good will come to you if you don't see
A reason for victory
Everybody loves the winner
Only the winner can really make things happen
Everybody loves the winner, so be the winner, i know you are
If there's something you'd like to do you've never done
Don't let fear stand in your way
Just collect your dreams and thoughts and get on the run
I wouldn't wait another day
You can be the best in everything you do
When it thawls out, it's all up to you
Everybody loves the winner (everybody loves the winner)
Only a winner can really make things happen
Everybody loves a winner (everybody loves a winner)
So be the winner you are
Be a winner, ooh (yes you can, yes you can, yes you can)
Be a winner, ooh (yes you can, yes you can, yes you can)
Be a winner, a winner, a winner, yes you can
'cause everybody (everybody) loves (loves a winner)
The winner, so be a winner
You can only make things happen
Everybody (everybody) loves a winner (loves a winner)
So be the winner, i know you are
Every (everybody), everybody, (loves a winner)

10. _ I Wish You Love
English lyrics by albert a. beach
French lyrics and music by charles l. trenet
Goodbye, no use leading with our chins
This is where our story ends
Never lovers, ever friends
Goodbye, let our hearts call it a day
But before you walk away
I sincerely want to say
I wish you bluebirds in the spring
To give your heart a song to sing
And then a kiss, but more than this
I wish you love
And in july a lemonade
To cool you in some leafy glade
I wish you health
But more than wealth
I wish you love
My breaking heart and i agree
That you and i could never be
So with my best
My very best
I set you free
I wish you shelter from the storm
A cozy fire to keep you warm
But most of all when snowflakes fall
I wish you love
But most of all when snowflakes fall
I wish you love
I wish you love
I wish you love, love, love, love, love
I wish you love

12. _ Introduction/our Love
Written by chuck jackson and marvin yancy
I have a special message that i would like to leave with you
It's not anything real big, you can stick it in your back pocket
And fold it up in a piece of paper and put it in your diary
Uh, you know, somewhere you keep special things
Oh, but now the clock on the wall
Says----it's time to go
Oh, but baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Oh, baby, i don't want to go, no, no, no, no
So i will leave you a little message
My very own, my very, very own, from me to you
You're my morning star (you're my morning star)
Shining brightly beside me
And if we keep this love
We will last through all eternity
Just the way we are, i love it, love is
It's just the way it should be
'cause our love will stand tall as the trees
Our love will spread wide as the sea
Our love will shine bright in the night
Like the stars above, and we'll always be together
(our love)
"did you enjoy yourselves this evening?"
Hmm, my love is surely one thing
You can surely depend on
In times of darkness and fear
I go to you, i know you'll make me strong
You're gonna make me happy
And you're gonna make me smile
'cause our love will stand tall as the trees
Our love will be for the whole world to see
Our love will change people's wrongs to right
And will never die 'cause we'll always have each other----

13. _ A Song For You
I've been so many places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs and i've made some bad climbs
I've acted out my life in stages with ten thousand people watching
Oh, but we're alone now and i'm singing this song for you
I know your image of me is what i hope to be, i've treated you unkindly
Oh, but darling can't you see that, there's no one more important to me
Baby, baby, can't you see through me, 'cause we're alone now
And i'm singing this song to you, you taught me precious secrets
Of a true love withholding nothing, you came out in front
When i was hiding, yeah, yeah, but now its so much better
If my words don't quite come together, please listen to the melody
'cause my love is in there somewhere hiding
I love you in a place where there is no space or time, i love you for my life
You are a friend of mine, and when my life is over
Remember, remember, remember when we were together
And we are alone now, and i was singing this song to you
We were alone, and i was singing, yeah singing
We were alone, and i was singing this song for you
Singing my song, i'm singing my song for you
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo

Sure 'nough moving on, keep it strong, its a whole new game and a brand new street
You know, uh, you said you would if you could, i'll make it good to ya
Don't you stop 'til we get to the top, hey, ninety-nine and a half just won't do, stand by me
Hey, hey, if its real, what you feel, come on and stand by

Written by pam reswick/steve werfel
Background vocals: natalie cole
Let me look at you, just look at you
You're a sight for sore eyes, yes you are
If you knew how many nights i spent holding you so tight
Then i'd wake up and we're still apart
Now you're really near and i'm really here
And i can wrap my arms around you, yes i can
This is just like i remember, no i think its even better
Maybe even more than i can stand
Baby, its good to be back, so good to be back
Baby, its good to be back in your arms again
Baby, its good to be back, so good to be back
Honey, its good to be back with you, oh yeah
Well its not the first time we've been apart
But as far as i'm concerned its the last
I don't care what we have to do to stay together from now on
But those days away from you are past
'cause when i go through the day and i haven't seen your face
Seems like nothing that i do feels right
You're the one i wanna see when i wake up every day
You're the one i wanna kiss goodnight
Baby, its good to be back, so good to be back
Baby, its good to be back in your arms again (ooh)
Baby, its good to be back, so good to be back
Honey, its good to be back with you
So good, so good, so good, so good, so good with you, baby
So good with you
Why don't you start me up with just one kiss
That's just one of the things i've missed
You better kiss me once again 'til it finally settles in
Well, i think i could get used to this
Baby, its good to be back, so good, so good to be back, real good
Baby, its good to be back in your arms again, i just got to say it
Good to be back, so good to be back
Honey, its good to be back with you
Baby, its good to be back, feels mighty good to be back
Baby, its good to be back with you
Baby, its good to be back, so good, so good to be back
Aw honey, honey its good to be back with you
And its so good to be back, aw sing it girls
Yeah, good to be back, i like the way you sang
Baby, its good to be back in you're arms again
Sang, sang, sang, sang

(written by natalie cole)
Here you are right by my side
Words cannot express how i feel
Being this close to you
Heaven seems much nearer in your eyes
I wish that i could touch your lonely heart
I can see your face and i start to trembling all inside
Don't know why but it's true
We're so close and yet so far away
Wish that i could touch your lonely heart
Open up and let my light inside
I just wanna be your friend
Let's forget about the tears we've cried
Darling i just wanna love you
Wish that i could touch your lonely heart
Open up and let my light inside
I just wanna be your friend
Let's forget about our foolish pride
Darling i just wanna love you
Wish that i could touch your lonely heart
Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
Here we are together now
Wanting you but don't know how
Knowing i care for you
Even if we have to start all over again
Wish that i could touch your lonely heart
Open up and let my light inside
I just wanna be your friend
Let's forget about the tears we've cried
Darling i just wanna love you
Wish that i could touch your lonely heart
Open up and let my light inside
I just wanna be your friend
Let's forget about our foolish pride
Darling i just wanna love you

Open up and let my light inside

Lyrics by ian grant, music by lionel rand
Let there be you, let there be me
Let there be oysters under the sea
Let there be wind, occasional rain
Chili con carne, and sparkling champagne
Let there be birds to sing in the trees
Someone to bless me whenever i sneeze
Let there be cuckoos, a lark and a dove
But first of all, please
Let there be love
Musical interlude
(scat)
Let there be birds to sing in the trees
I need someone to bless me whenever i sneeze
Let there be cuckoos, cuckoos
A lark and a dove
But first of all, please
Let there be love
Oh let there be love ya'll
Ooh we gotta have some, really gotta have some
We need love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love
Say we need a little bit of love, little bit, little bit of love
(scat)
Really need a little bit

20. _ Straighten Up And Fly Right
Words and music by nat king cole and irving mills; american academy of music, mills music, ascap
The buzzert took the monkey for a ride in the air
The monkey thought that everything was on a square
The buzzert tried to throw the monkey off his back
But the monkey grabbed his neck and said "now listen jack"
Straighten up and fly right, straighten up and stay right
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down pappa don't you blow your top
Ain't no use in divin,' what's the use of jivin'
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down pappa don't you blow your top
The buzzert told the monkey you are chokin me
Release your hold and i will set you free
The monkey looked the buzzert right dead in the eye
And said "your story's so touching but it sounds like a lie"
Straighten up and fly right, straighten up and stay right
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down pappa don't you blow your top
Musical interlude
Straighten up and fly right, straighten up and stay right
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down pappa don't you blow your top
Ain't no use in divin,' what's the use of jivin'
You better straighten up and fly right
Cool down pappa don't you blow your top
Fly right

21. _ Take A Look
Take a look in the mirror, look at yourself
But don't you look too close, cause you just might see the person
That you hate the most, lord, what's happening to this human race
I can't even see one friendly face, brothers fight brothers and sisters wink their eyes
While silver tongues bear fruits of poison lies, take a look at your children
Born innocent, every boy and every girl, denying themselves a real chance
To build a better world, oh! dear lord what's happening to your precious dream
I think its washing away on a bloody, bloody stream, yes, take a look at your children
Before it's too late, and tell them nobody, nobody wins when the prize is hate
Oh, no, no, no it's not too late, we gotta tell all of our children
That love, love, love is the way, yeah, yeah

22. _ Orange Colored Sky
I was walking along minding my business, when out of an orange colored sky
Flash, bam, alakazam, wonderful you came by, i was humming a tune,
Drinking in sunshine, when out of that orange colored view
Wham, bam, alakazam, i got a look at you
One look and i yelled timber, watch out for flying glass

23. _ That Sunday That Summer
Words and music by geo david weiss and joe sherman
(if i had to choose just one day)
If i had to choose just one day to last my whole life through
It would surely be that sunday; the day that i met you
Newborn whippoorwills were calling from the hills
Summer was a coming in but fast
Lots of daffodils were showing off their skills
Nodding all together, i can almost hear them whisper
Go on kiss him; go on and kiss him
If i had to choose one moment to live within my heart
It would be that tender moment recalling how we started
Darling it would be when you smiled at me
That way, that sunday, that summer
Musical interlude
Go on kiss him; go on and kiss him
And if i had to choose just one moment
To live within my heart it would surely be that moment
Recalling how we started
Darling it would be when you smiled at me
That way, that sunday, that summer
(if i had to choose just one day)

24. _ Miss You Like Crazy
Written by m. masser/g. foffin/p. glass
Even though its been so long, my love for you keeps going strong
I remember the things that we used to do, a kiss in the rain
Til' the sun shined through, i'd try to deny it, but i'm still in love with you
I miss you like crazy, i miss you like crazy, ever since you went away
Every hour of every day, i miss you like crazy, i miss you like crazy
No matter what i say or do, there's just no getting over you
I can see the love shining in your eyes, and it comes as such a sweet surprise
If seeing's believing its worth the wait, so hold me and tell me its not too late
We're so good together, we're starting forever now, and i miss you like crazy
I miss you like crazy, ever since you went away, every hour of every day
I miss you like crazy, i miss you baby, a love like ours will never end
Just touch me and we're there again
Musical interlude
Just one night and we'll have that magic feeling like we used to do
Hold on tight and whatever comes our way we're gonna make it through
If seeing's believing its worth the wait, so hold me and tell me its not too late
We're so good together, we're starting forever now
And i miss you like crazy, i miss you like crazy
No matter what i say or do there's just no getting over you
And i miss you (baby), i miss you (baby), all the tender love you gave me
When a feeling gets this strong, you know the real thing come along
And i miss you, i miss you like crazy baby, only you're sweet love
Can save me, i miss you like crazy, a love like ours will never end
Just touch me and we're there again,
Miss you like crazy, i miss you like crazy

25. _ Snowfall On The Sahara
Your love like wine
Tasting sweeter to me everyday
Your kiss, divine and it melts the cold inside away
All of my life i've been waiting for a love like this
And now that you're here, romance is just a second away
It's gonna stay
Till the snowfalls on the sahara and the sun freezes over
Till the mojave red turns into blue
When my lungs get tired of breathing
And my heart stops its beating
Then i'll stop loving you
And if the dark, when there's no one calling out your name
Well i'll hold you so tight
And i'll whisper to you once again and again
When the snowfalls on the sahara and the sun freezes over
When the mojave red turns into blue
When the music's no longer playing and the faithless stop praying
I'll stop loving you
When the snowfalls on the sahara (oh, oh)
And the sun freezes over
When the mojave red turns into blue (that's a long time)
When my lungs get tired of breathing
And my heart stops its beating
I'll stop loving you
I don't wanna miss a single heartbeat
Sometimes my words get in the way
But i hear your love just fine---
Just fine-----
And its gonna take a long time
When the snowfalls on the sahara and the sun freezes over
When the mojave red turns into blue (that's a long time)
When the music's no longer playing and the faithless stop praying
I'll stop loving you
(repeat chorus)

26. _ You Were Right Girl
It's hard to say how long its been, but once upon a time
You were my best friend, i'm sorry i hurt you but i loved him, loved him
You said i'd get hurt in the end, you tried to warn me with good advice
Instead of listening, i paid the price, yes i did, you told me back then
You said he'll love you, leave you, you said his heart was cold as ice
And you were right girl, yes, he played me for a fool, (you were right girl)
Hmm, it all came true, (you were right girl), i know
I should have known it all along, (you were right girl)
Yes, you were right and i was wrong, i thought you blamed him for your mistakes
That all your put downs were just sour grapes, you told me back then
That they'll be lyin, cryin' and it won't be his heart that breaks
And ooh, (you were right girl) you were right girl
He played me for a fool, (you were right girl) oh
It all came true, you were (you were right girl) right girl
Yes, i should have known it all along (you were right girl)
You were right girl, you were right and i was wrong
Oh, what made me think that i was different from you
That i could make him do what he wouldn't do for you
Now you told me back then i'd never change him, change him
But he'd change me before he's through, and ooh (you were right girl)
You were right girl, he played me for a fool, he really did
(you were right girl) well, it all came true, (you were right girl)
You were so right, i should have known it all along (you were right girl)
Oh, yes, you were right and i was wrong, oh, (you were right girl)
He really played me for a fool, (you were right girl)
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, it all came true (you were right girl)
Yeah, (you were right girl) you were right girl
I should have known it all along, (you were righ girl)
You were right girlfriend, you were right and i was wrong, woo, woo, woo
(you were right girl) you were right my girl, (you were right girl)
You were right my girl, he played me for a great big fool

27. _ As A Matter Of Fact
Written by s. garrett & d. boyette
Blow daddy, aww, yeah
Here we are, standing at the hard line
We made it last this long
The two of us, together since the first time
And i believe our love is still strong
Seems love has a funny way
Well, it can come or go or it can choose to stay
But love says what it has to say

I love you (oh, as a matter of fact)
And i love that you love me back
As a matter of fact (ooh, as a matter, a matter)

But they don't talk no more (no more)

But love says what it has to say

29. _ A Smile Like Yours
Hmm, thought i'd seen everything there was to see in this world
Now i'm not so sure i've really seen anything at all
I thought life could show me no surprises
And then you came and showed me i was wrong
I have seen the bluest skies, rainbows that would make you cry
I have seen miracles that moved my soul, days that changed my life
I have seen the brightest stars shine like diamonds in the dark
Seen all the wonders of the world, but i've never seen a smile
As beautiful as yours, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh, i thought i'd been everywhere
I've climbed a mountain so high, sailed the sea, crossed the sky
And still i was nowhere at all, until that day, oh, you came to my senses
And your smile, it made sense out of it all, (i have seen the bluest skies)
Rainbows that would make you cry, i have seen miracles
(miracles that moved me soul) that moved my soul, days that changed my life,
I have seen the brightest stars shine like diamonds in the dark
Seen all the wonders of the world, but i've never seen a smile as beautiful as yours
(smile so beautiful) so beautiful, comes one time in a lifetime
A smile this beautiful, (a smile this beautiful) i've never dreamed i'd ever see, oh
(i have seen the bluest skies) i have seen it, (rainbows that would make you cry)
That would make you cry, i've seen miracles (miracles) moved my soul,
(days that changed my life) and days that changed my life
I have seen the brightest stars shine like diamonds in the dark
Oh, i've seen the wonders of this world (wonders of the world)
But i've never seen a smile (never seen a smile before as beautiful as yours)
Oh, i've never seen a smile before, (never seen a smile before as beautiful)
As beautiful as yours.

30. _ Reverend Lee
This is a song about a very big, strong, black, sexy southern baptist minister
Who thinks he's got his program all together, until he meets a lady who lets him know
That he ain't got it all together, his name is reverend dr. lee
Reverend lee, he went to the water, and he prayed to the lord
About old satan's daughter, it seems in a dream, child, while he lay sleeping
She climbed in his bed, starts rubbing and weeping, ah, she was twisting and turning, hmm
She was begging and pleading, loving and burning, panting, breathing, ooh, ah, ah
Reverend lee, she said, lord knows that i love you child, but i would not even, no, no,
Place god above you, well reverend lee, he lifted his arms high
Said heavenly father, take me home to the sky, he said lord please don't test me
Not down where she touched me, my mind is so hazy
And you know my body is hungry, oh yeah, and then god rolled the thunder
And he hurled the lightening uh, oh, he seemed to be angry
Well it really was frightening, yes he was, oh the thunder grew louder
Darkened conditions, and just then a voice said, god cannot be petitioned
Just then the devil, oh he emerged from the water, and he said in that dry voice
Your god will not barter, reverend lee, he went screaming from the water
And he was hotly pursued by old satan's daughter
And she said, she said reverend, ooh, reverend, reverend lee
She said reverend lee, do it to me, she said, she said, uh, reverend lee
(reverend, reverend, reverend, reverend lee), i don't want nobody else to do it
Do it but you, do it, do it, yeah you, do it, do it to me

31. _ I Won't Deny You
Written by chuck jackson and marvin yancy
Hmm...., well, well, well, well, well
The mailman smiled as he handed me the news, tell you chil'
I nearly jumped out of my shoes, the postcard read returning home tonight
My body jumped with pure delight, i know you're gonna need
Some tender lovin' care, whatever you need you know i'll be right there
(honey i won't deny you) that's one thing honey, that i'll never, never do
(honey, i won't deny you) you took care of me, i'll take of you
(doot, doot, doo, doo, doo) now when i'm down (repeat doo, doo)
You make me feel better, and your love for me really keeps me together
Come rain or shine, night or day, whenever you call me it'll be okay
If you wanna stop by 'cause you're in the neighborhood
Or if you want me to make you feel real good (repeat honey i won't deny you)
Oh, no (i won't deny you) that's one thing i'll never do to you
You took care of me, i'll take care of you (doot, doot, doo, doo, doo)
You know my body hungers for you and i know that's right
And when i can't get it, i get so uptight, here by my side
Is where you aught to be if you bring your lovin' home to me
(repeat honey i won't deny you) i, that's one thing i'll never do to you
I won't, cause you took care of me and i'll take care of you, oh, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, (i won't deny you, i won't deny you)
Here by my side is where you aught to be, if you bring your lovin' home to me

32. _ I'm Catchin' Hell
Written by chuck jackson and marvin yancy
Tonight, i, i just want to talk to the ladies, oh fellows your cool but girls
If you've got a good man, you'd better keep him,
Oh i know you're saying right now, what does she know
Who is she to tell me about my situation, well, i don't know your situation
But whatever it is, you should try to stay together
You know that big argument that you had the other night, remember
Well, today its not nothing, just don't let him leave you honey
Cause then you'll find out that it wasn't those real big things you loved about him
It was the real small things, go on and laugh but its true
You know, things that you've seen a thousand times around the house
But never paid any attention to, like helping with the groceries
And helping in the yard and painting and repairing and huh, paying the bills
But you know now, all i have is memories and regrets
I could have given our love a chance to grow but no
I had to challenge it and be heard (oh), let me tell you something
That female liberation stuff, i don't know, sometimes i don't think its worth it
And i'm really feeling, feeling kind of bad yaul, i'm catching hell living here alone
Hmm, i never realized, oh lord, that you mean so much to me
I'm catching hell living here alone, i want you to come back baby
Come back cause here's where you belong, oh yeah
If i could replay, if i could replay that whole scene again, oh well
You know that i would never, never say it again, that our love, our love is at its end
And oh, you know that i would kind of ease on back, yes i would
And let confusion pass on by, i took moves well, oh yeah
Without one good reason why, i'm catching hell, catching hell
Lord i'm living, living, living here alone, alone, lone, i didn't believe it could be
You know all the pressure on me, all the time, oh, i'm catching hell, well, well
Living here alone, lone, lone, lone, lone, lone, lone, to tell you the truth
To tell you the truth i'm going out of my mind---, yeah, oh do you hear me tonight
I don't have too (this is my story) much more to say except
Somebody (hey, this is my song) told me that if you've got something
That's good to you and you don't use it (sad, sad) you might lose it (sad, song)
(song, so sad) so girls hold on to your good thing (oh), (you gotta hold on a little bit now)
And don't let go, oh---do you hear me tonight, it's so sad living alone
Living alone (hmm), hold on to your good thing, hold on, (well, well) oh yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah---oh, oh, oh, lordy, lordy do you know what its like
Catching hell, (somebody turn up the microphone, oh---), oh, no, no, no, no, no, no

33. _ Don't Mention My Heartache
Written by c. wilmore & c. jackson
Hoo, hoo, mm
Don't mention my heartache
I just hide it away
Don't want to remember what brings me pain
Who does it hurt if i'm masquerading
When anybody asks me you know i'll say, yeah
That i love him, he loves me
We're so good together
I'll pretend he's home again
Though he's gone forever
Don't mention my heartache
'cause i don't want nobody to know, no, no, no
Just keep it a secret that he let me go
'cause i don't want nobody to know
That i go through the motions (motions)
Put a smile on my face, yes, i do
I heard that the weather is changing today, yeah, yeah
And i don't talk about my business to noone
If anybody asks me you know what i'll say, yeah
That i love him; he loves me, we're so good together
I'll pretend he's home again, though he's gone forever
Don't mention my heartache
'cause i don't want nobody to know, oh, no
Just keep it a secret that he let me go
'cause i don't want nobody to know--
Oh, oh, oh, oh, hoo--
That the heartache that i'm feeling makes me lonely, oh---
Don't mention my heartache
'cause i don't want nobody to know, no, no
Just keep it a secret that he let me go
And i don't want nobody to know, nobody
(can't talk about it)
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
(don't want to think about it)
And i don't want nobody, i got a heartache
I don't want nobody, i don't want nobody, i got a heartache
(don't mention my heartache)
I got a heartache, he let me go
It's a sweet face, yes, it is
Don't want nobody, can't stand nobody
(don't mention my heartache)
And i got to keep it a secret
(i'm minding my business)
'cause my man, 'cause my man
Ain't my man no more
Keeping it a secret (don't mention my heartache)
Keeping it a secret, oh, all to myself, he let me go...
