Walk On By



Walk On By
Aretha Franklin
(Bandits)

If you see me walking down the street
And I start to cry each time we meet
Walk on by, walk on by
Make believe
That you don't see the tears
Just let me grieve
In private 'cause each time I see you
I break down and cry
And walk on by (don't stop)
And walk on by (don't stop)
And walk on by

I just can't get over losing you
And so if I seem broken and blue
Walk on by, walk on by

Foolish pride
Is all that I have left
So let me hide
The tears and the sadness you gave me
When you said goodbye
Walk on by
And walk on by
And walk by (don't stop)

Walk on by, walk on by
Foolish pride
Is all that I have left
So let me hide
The tears and the sadness you gave me
When you said goodbye
Walk on by (don't stop)
And walk on by (don't stop)
And walk by (don't stop)

The Shoop Shoop Song (It's in His Kiss)



Does he love me?
I wanna know!
How can I tell if he loves me so?

(Is it in his eyes?)
Oh no! You’ll be deceived!
(Is it in his size?)
Oh no! He’ll make believe!

(That's where it is!)

(Oh yeah! Or is it in his face?)
No girls! It's just his charms!

Oh, yeah! It’s in his kiss!

Runnin' Out Of Fools



Sure you haven't got the wrong number
You sure its me you wanna talk to tonight?
Everyone in town's got your number
Everybody's got you pegged right

Is that why yu got in touch with me?
I guess you must be runnin' out of fools

When you went and left me there crying
Your goodbye was even colder than ice
It didn't bother you I was crying
And now you wanna break my heart twice

Is that why you got in touch with me?
I guess you must be runnin' out of fools

Guess you got back (guess you got)
To my name
In your little black book

Well, listen
Tell you what (tell you what)
Bet you forgot (you forgot)
How I even look

So go ahead with all your sweet talking
Go ahead for all the good it can do
Have yourself a dime's worth of talking
And then I'm gonna hang right up on you

'Cause this time, you're not
You're not getting through to me
I guess you must be runnin' out of fools

Even fools like me
Even fools like me
I said you're running out of fools
Even old fools like me

Freeway of Love



Knew you'd be a vision in white
How'd you get your pants so tight?
Don't know what you're doin'
But you must be livin' right
Yeah...

Oh...We got some places to see
I brought all the maps with me
So jump in...It ain't no sin
Take a ride in my machine

City traffic's movin' way too slow
Drop the pedal and go...go...go

(Refrain)
We're goin' ridin' on the freeway of love
Wind's against our backs
We're goin' ridin' on the freeway of love
In my pink cadillac
We're goin' ridin' on the freeway of love
Wind's against our backs
Ain't we ridin' on the freeway of love
In my pink Cadillac?

Never you mind the exit signs
We got lots of time
We can't quit 'til we get
To the other side
ah-hah ah hah

With the radio playin' our song
We keep rollin' along
Who knows how far a car can get
Before you think about your love slowin' down
Yeah

City traffic's movin' way too slow
Drop the pedal and go...go...come on now...go

(Repeat Refrain)

Oh....yeah...

Here we go...(here we go)..(here we go)..(here we go)
One more time
Hmmmm...

With the wind and
your fingers in my hair
Kinda think we're going for an extended...
throwdown...
So drop the top baby
and let's cruise on into
'It's better than ever Street'

City traffic's movin' way too slow
Drop the pedal and go...go...come on baby...go...do it for me now

(Repeat Refrain)

What I want you to do baby...
Get over in the left lane...
And let's march for peace...aw yeah
Take the long exit...
and then again around town
Go on over to Love and Satisfaction
and Joy y'all
Oh...ain't we ridin' baby
Ain't we cruisin' down

A whole lotta kisses and sweet stuff...
We'll be just about...oh..oh...oh...it's Satisfaction Road...yeah

Another Night



All my friends have to ask if I'm shattered.
I say the past is the past and it no longer matters.
I made my mind up
I can make it
I'll be fine

even if I gotta fake it.
I'll keep surviving.

Another night - without you.
Another night - I know I can get through.
Another night - it's only -
another night - I won't be lonely.
Another night - another night -
Another night - it ain't much -
another night - without your touch.

I used to search through the crowd to find you

But I don't feel like it now
so don't look behind you.
You better face it
I won't be calling

I hit my stride when the evening is falling

I'm gonna make it -

Another night - without you. . . .

Out where the music is loud and the people are laughing

I'm gonna step on out
I won't be down

Gonna stand my ground for just another night -
Oh yes
for a
another night.

I made my mind up
I can make it

I'll be fine
even if I gotta fake it.
I'll keep surviving
yes
I will.

Another night - without you.
Another night - I know I can get through.
Another night - it ain't much -
I don't need you to be bringing me down

Sisters Are Doin' It For Themselves



Now there was a time when they used to say
That behind every - "great man."
There had to be a - "great woman."
But in these times of change you know
That it's no longer true.
So we're comin' out of the kitchen
'Cause there's somethin' we forgot to say to you (we say)

Sisters are doin' it for themselves.
Standin' on their own two feet.
And ringin' on their own bells.
Sisters are doin' it for themselves.

Now this is a song to celebrate
The conscious liberation of the female state!
Mothers - daughters and their daughters too.
Woman to woman
We're singin' with you.
The "inferior sex" got a new exterior
We got doctors, lawyers, politicians too.
Everybody - take a look around.
Can you see - can you see - can you see
There's a woman right next to you.

Sisters are doin' it for themselves.
Standin' on their own two feet.
And ringin' on their own bells.
Sisters are doin' it for themselves.

Now we ain't makin' stories
And we ain't layin' plans
'Cause a man still loves a woman
And a woman still loves a man
(Just a same though)

Respect



What you want
Baby, I got it
What you need

Baby, I Love You



If you want my lovin'
If you really do
Don't be afraid, baby, just ask
You know I'm gonna give it to you
Oh,and I do declare
I wanna see you with it
Stretch out your arms, little boy you're gonna get it

[chorus]
Cause I love you
(Baby, baby, baby, I love you)
There ain't no doubt about it
Baby, I love you
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
Baby, I love you

If you really wanna kiss me

And leave me sittin' here a cryin'
But if it's all the same to you, baby
I'm gonna stop you from saying goodbye (goodbye)
Baby, I love you, baby I need you, baby I want you
Don't let your neighbors tell you I don't want you
Don't let your low down friends tell you I don't need you ....

(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman



Looking out on the morning rain
I used to feel so uninspired
And when I knew I had to face another day
Lord, it made me feel so tired
Before the day I met you, life was so unkind
But your the key to my peace of mind

Cause you make me feel,
you make me feel,
you make me feel like
A natural woman

When my soul was in the lost-and-found
You came along to claim it
I didn't know just what was wrong with me
'Til your kiss helped me name it
Now I'm no longer doubtful of what I'm living for
and if I make you happy I don't need to do more

You make me feel,
you make me feel,
you make me feel like
A natural woman

Oh, baby, what you've done to me
Ooooh. You make me feel so good inside
Aaaaaa-nd I just want to be close to you
You make me feel so aliiiii-iiiii-iiiiiiive

You make me feel,
You make me feel,
You make me feel like
A natural woman

I Say a Little Prayer



The moment I wake up
Before I put on my makeup
I say a little prayer for you
While combing my hair, now,
And wondering what dress to wear, now,
I say a little prayer for you

(Forever) Forever, and ever, (you'll stay in my heart
and I will love you)
(Forever) Forever, and ever, (we never will part
Oh, how I love you)
(Together) Together, forever , (that's how it must be
To live without you)
Would only mean heartbreak for me, ooh

I run for the bus, dear,
While riding I think of us, dear,
I say a little prayer for you
At work I just take time
And all through my coffee break-time,
I say a little prayer for you

(Forever) Forever, and ever, (you'll stay in my heart
and I will love you)
(Forever) Forever, and ever, (we never will part
Oh, how I love you)
(Together) Together, forever, (that's how it must be
To live without you)
Would only mean heartbreak for me
no body but me

My darling, believe me
For me there is no one but you
Please love me too
Answer my prayer
Answer my prayer now babe, oh-oh

(Forever) Forever, and ever, ever.. (you'll stay in my heart
and I will love you)
(Forever) Forever, and ever, (we never will part
Oh, how I love you)
(Together) Together, forever , (that's how it must be
To live without you)
Would only mean heartbreak for me, nobody but me

My darling, believe me
For me there is no one but you
Please love me too
Answer my prayer
Answer my prayer now babe
Say you love me too
Answer it right now babe
Answer my prayer

Since You've Been Gone (Sweet Sweet Baby)



Baby baby, sweet baby
There's something that I just got to say
Baby baby, sweet baby
You left me hurtin' in a real cold way

Speak your name
And I'll feel a thrill
You said I do
And I said I will

I tell you that I'll stay true
and give you just a little time
Wait on me baby,
I want you to be all mine
I just get so blue

Since you've been gone, baby
(why'd you do it? why'd you have to do it?)
Since you've been gone
(why'd you do it? why'd you have to do it?)

(bridge)

Baby baby, sweet baby
I didn't mean to run you away
It was pride on my lips,
But not in my heart
To say the things that made you stray
But ah, babe
Hear me now
(hear me)
I don't know what I'm gonna do
(hear me)
Got to get you back somehow
(hear me now)
Oooh, take me back,
consider me please
If you walk in that door,
I can get up off my knees
I just been so blue

Since you've been gone
(why'd you do it? why'd you have to do it?)
Since you've been gone
(why'd you do it? why'd you have to do it?)
Well I've been so lonely
(sweet sweet - sweet sweet baby)
Baby, since you've been gone
(sweet sweet - sweet sweet baby)
I've been so lonely
(why'd you do it? why'd you have to do it?)
Since you've been gone
(why'd you do it? why'd you have to do it?)
Baby baby baby been so lonely
(sweet sweet - sweet sweet baby)

Let's call this song exactly what it is
Just a move your hips with a feeling from side to side
Sit yourself down in your car and take a ride
And while you're moving, rock steady
Rock steady, baby
Let's call this song exactly what it is
(What it is, what it is, what it is)
It's a funky and lowdown feeling (what it is)
Move your hips from left to right (what it is)
What it is is I might be doin' this funky dance all night
(put your hands up in the air)
(got a feelin' you ain't got a care)
(you gotta take this burn)?
(that tear we all inside)?

Rock steady, rock steady baby
Rock steady, rock steady baby

instrumental

Jump and move your hips with a feeling from side to side
Sit yourself down in your car and take a ride
While you're moving, rock steady
Rock steady

It's a funky and lowdown feeling (what it is)
Move your hips from left to right (what it is)

Until You Come Back to Me (That's What I'm Gonna D)



Though you don't call any more
I sit and wait in vain
I guess I'll rap on your door (your door)
Tap on your window pane (tap on your window pane)
I wanna tell ya baby changes I've been goin' through
Missin' you - listen you
(Till you come back to me - that's what I'm gonna do)

Why did you have to decide
You had to set me free
I'm gonna swallow my pride (my pride)
Gonna beg ya to please - baby please see me
(Baby won't you see me)
I'm gonna walk out by myself
Just to prove that my love is true
Oh for ya baby
(Till you come back to me
That's what I'm gonna do)

Baby for you my dear
Is like living in a world of constant fear
Hear my plea (hear my plea)
I've got to make you see (gotta make you see)
That our love is dying (our love is dying)

Although your phone you ignore
Somehow I must - somehow I must - how I must explain
I'm gonna rap on your door (your door)
Tap on your window pane (tap on your window pane)

I'm gonna camp by your steps
By the chance I'll get through to you
I've gotta the change your view baby
(Till you come back to me - that's what I'm gonna do)

(Till you come back to me - that's what I'm gonna do)

(Till you come back to me - that's what I'm gonna do)

(Tap on your window pane)

I Never Loved a Man (The Way I Love You)



You're a no good heart breaker
You're a liar and you're a cheat
And I don't know why
I let you do these things to me
My friends keep telling me
That you ain't no good
But oh, they don't know
That I'd leave you if I could

I guess I'm uptight
And I'm stuck like glue
Cause I ain't never
I ain't never, I ain't never, no, no (loved a man)
(The way that I, I love you)

Some time ago I thought
You had run out of fools
But I was so wrong
You got one that you'll never lose
The way you treat me is a shame
How could ya hurt me so bad
Baby, you know that I'm the best thing
That you ever had
Kiss me once again

Don'cha never, never say that we we're through
Cause I ain't never
Never, Never, no, no (loved a man)
(The way that I, I love you)

I can't sleep at night
And I can't EAT A BITE
I guess I'll never be free
Since you got, your hooks, in me

Whoa, oh, oh
Yeah! Yeah!
I ain't never loved a man
I ain't never loved a man, baby
Ain't never had a man hurt me so bad

No
Well this is what I'm gonna do about it

Do Right Woman, Do Right Man



Take me to heart
And I'll always love you
And nobody can make me do wrong
Take me for granted
Leaving love unshown
Makes will power weak
And temptation strong

A woman's only human
You should understand
She's not just a plaything
She's flesh and blood
Just like her man

If you want a do right
All days woman
You've gotta be a do right
All night man

Yeah, yeah
They say that it's a man's world
But you can't prove that by me
And as long as we're together baby
Show some respect for me

If you want a do right
All days woman
You've gotta be a do right
All night man

A woman's only human
This you should understand
She's not just a plaything
She's flesh and blood
Just like her man

If you want a do right
All days woman
You've gotta be a do right
All nights man
You've gotta be a do right
All nights man

Son of a Preacher Man




Billy Ray was a preacher's son
And when his daddy would visit he'd come along
When they gathered around and starting talkin'
That's when Billy would take me walkin'
Out through the back yard we'd go walkin'
Then he'd look into my eyes
Lord knows, to my surprise

The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacherman
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacherman
Yes he was, he was, ooh, yes he was

Bein' good isn't always easy
No matter how hard I try
When he started sweet-talkin' to me
He'd come'n tell me "Everything is all right "
He'd kiss and tell me "Everything is all right "
Can I get away again tonight ?

The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacherman
The only boy who can ever teach me
Was the son of a preacherman
Yes he was, he was, ooh, yes he was ( yes he was )

How well I remember
The look that was in his eyes
Stealin' kisses from me on the sly
Takin' time to make time
Tellin'me that he's all mine
Learnin' from each other's knowin'
Lookin' to see how much we've grown and

The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacherman
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacherman
Yes he was, he was, ooh, yes he was

( The only one who could ever reach me )
He was the sweet-talkin' son of a preacherman
( The only boy who could ever teach me )
Was the son of a preacherman

( The only one who could ever reach me )
Was the sweet-talkin' son of a preacherman

Let It Be



When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

And when the broken hearted people
Living in the world agree,
There will be an answer, let it be.
For though they may be parted there is
Still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be. Yeah
There will be an answer, let it be.

And when the night is cloudy,
There is still a light that shines on me,
Shine on until tomorrow, let it be.
I wake up to the sound of music
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
There will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be,
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Eleanor Rigby



I'm Eleanor Rigby
I picked up the rice in the church where the weddings have been
Yeah I'm Eleanor Rigby
I'm keepin' my face in a jar by the door
if you wanna know what is it for, Well

::Chorus::
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from
All the lonley people
Where do they all belong

Father McKenzie
Writing the words to a sermon
that no one will hear
no one comes near
Look at him working
Knoting his socks in the night
What does he care, Yeah

Chorus

Eleanor Rigby died in the church
And was buried along with her name
Nobody came
Father McKenzie Wiping the dirt from his hands
As he walks from the grave
