You got a smile so bright
You know you could have been a candle
I'm holding you so tight
You know you could have been a handle
The way you swept me off my feet
You know you could've been a broom
The way you smell so sweet
You know you could've been some perfume
Well, you could've been anything that you wanted to
And I can tell
The way you do the things you do
(The way you do the things you do) oh, babe
(The way you do the things you do)
As pretty as you are
You know you could've been a flower
If good looks was a minute
You know you could've been an hour
The way you stole my heart
You know you could've been a crook
And baby you're so smart
You know you could have been a school book
Well, you could've been anything that you wanted to
And I can tell
The way you do the things you do
(The way you do the things you do) oh, babe
(The way you do the things you do) yeah
You may make my life so rich
You know you could've been some money
And baby you're so sweet
You know you could have been some honey
Well, you could've been anything that you wanted to
And I can tell
The way you do the things you do
(The way you do the things you do)
You really swept me off my feet
(The way you do the things you do)
You make my life complete
(The way you do the things you do)
You make my life so bright
(The way you do the things you do)
You make me feel alright
(The way you do the things you do)
You make me feel alright
(The way you do the things you do)
I feel alright
(The way you do the things you do)
Come on, my babe
(The way you do the things you do)

Aint Too Proud To Beg
I know you wanna leave me
But I refuse to let you go
If I have to beg, plead for your sympathy
I don't mind 'cause you mean that much to me
Ain't too proud to beg and you know it
Please don't leave me, girl (don't you go)
Ain't too proud to plead, baby, baby

Ain't too proud to beg, sweet darlin'
Please don't leave me, girl (don't you go)
Ain't too proud to plead, baby, baby
Please don't leave me, girl (don't you go)
Now I've got a love so deep in the pit of my heart
And each day it grows more and more
I'm not ashamed to call and plead to you, baby
If pleading keeps you from walking out that door
Ain't too proud to beg and you know it

Dont Look Back
If it's love that you're running from, there's no hiding place.
(You can't run it, you can't hide it, you can't run it)
Love has problems I know but there problems, we'll just have to face.
Oh yeah, yeah.
(You can't run it, you can't hide it, you can't run it)
Love has problems I know but there problems, we'll just have to face.
Oh yeah, yeah.
If you just put your hand in mine,
We're gonna leave all our troubles behind.
We're gonna walk and don't look back. (Don't look back)
And don't look back. Oh yeah, yeah.
And don't look back, baby. (Don't look back)
(The places behind you let them re-remind you.)
If your first lover broke your heart,
There's something that can be done.
(You don't run it, you don't hide it, you don't run it)
Don't end your faith in love because of what he's done.
So if you just put your hand in mine,
We're gonna leave all our troubles behind.
Keep on walking and don't look back.
Forget about the past now.
Don't look back, baby.
Keep on walking and don't look back. Hmmm
(The places behind you let them re-remind you.)
[Instrumental]
Love can be a beautiful thing.
Though your first love let you down.
Oh yeah, yeah
'Cause I know we can make love bloom, baby.
The second time around.
Oh yeah, yeah
So if you just put your hand in mine,
We're gonna leave all our troubles behind.
Keep on pushing and don't look back.
Now, till I say, we won't look back, girl.
Keep on walking and won't look back.
Forget about the past now, baby.
And don't look back.
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, don't look back.

Get Ready
I never met a girl who makes me feel the way that you do. (You're alright)
Whenever I'm asked who makes my dreams real, I say that you do. (You're outta sight)

Beauty Is Only Skin Deep
So in love, sad as could be
'Cause a pretty face got the best of me.
Suddenly, you came into my life
And gave it meaning and pure delight.
Now, good looks, I've learned to do without.
'Cause now I know it's love that really counts.
'Cause a pretty face got the best of me.
Suddenly, you came into my life
And gave it meaning and pure delight.
Now, good looks, I've learned to do without.
'Cause now I know it's love that really counts.
'Cause I know that...
(Beauty's only skin deep, yeah, yeah, yeah.)
I know that...
Beauty's only skin deep, yes indeed.
Now you speak your words warm and sincere.
And let's me know that your love is near.
A pretty face you may not possess
But what I like about you is your tenderness.
A pretty face maybe some guys taste
But I'll take lovin' in it's place.
'Cause I know that...
(Beauty's only skin deep, yeah, yeah, yeah.)
And you know that...
Beauty's only skin deep, oh baby, oh yeah.
(Oh yeah, Oh yeah)
(Beauty's only skin deep, yeah, yeah, yeah.)
Ooo
(Beauty's only skin deep, oh yeah.)
Yes it is.
My friends ask, what do I see in you
But it goes deeper than the eye can view.
You have a pleasin' personality
And that's an ever lovin' rare quality.
Now show me a girl, a girl that's fine
And I'll choose the one with true lovin' every time.
I know that...
(Beauty's only skin deep, yeah, yeah, yeah)
And I believe that...
Beau- know that beauty's only skin deep.
So if you're lookin' for a lover. (Oh yeah)
Don't judge a book by it's cover. (Oh yeah)
She may be fine on the outside (Oh yeah)
But so untrue on the inside. (Oh yeah)
Ooo

Since I Lost My Baby
The sun is shining, there's plenty of light (oh yeah)
A new day is dawning, sunny and bright (oh yeah)
But after I've been crying all night
The sun is cold, and the new day seems old
Since I lost my baby. (Since I lost my baby.)
Oh, since I lost my baby. (Oh, since I lost my baby.)
A new day is dawning, sunny and bright (oh yeah)
But after I've been crying all night
The sun is cold, and the new day seems old
Since I lost my baby. (Since I lost my baby.)
Oh, since I lost my baby. (Oh, since I lost my baby.)
The birds are singing and the children are playing
There's plenty of work and the bosses are paying
Not a sad word should a young heart be saying
But fun is a bore and with money I'm poor.
Since I lost my baby. (Since I lost my baby.)
Oh, since I lost my baby. (Oh, since I lost my baby.)
Next time I'll be kinder (Next time I'll be kinder)
Won't you please help me find her (Won't you please help me find her)
Someone just remind her (Someone just remind her)
Of this love she left behind her (Of this love she left behind her)
Till I find her I'll be trying ta (Till I find her I'll be trying ta)
Everyday I'm more inclined ta
Find her
Inclined ta
Find her
Inclined ta find my baby
Been looking everywhere (ba--by)
Baby, I really, really care!
Oh, determination is fading fast (oh yeah)
Inspiration is a thing of the past (oh yeah)
Can't see how my hope's gonna last
Good things are bad and what's happy is sad
Since I lost my baby. (Since I lost my baby.)
Oh, since I lost my baby. (Oh, since I lost my baby.)
I feel so bad (since I lost my baby)
I feel so sad (since I lost my baby)
Everything is wrong
This heart is hard to carry on (since I lost my baby)
I'm lost as can be (since I lost my baby)
What's gonna happen to me?

This little girl of mine
I wanna say shes so fine
And each and every day
I'll make sure she has her now
We don't feel tied down
Allthough are hearts are bound
I don't have to chsae her all over town
My baby shes all ways around
This little girl of mine

And each and every day

Allthough are hearts are bound

Makes me once agian realize

And i know we'll never eva part
I never heard about or caught
Her playin i guess thats why
You allways hear me sayin'
[Chorus]
When i visit at her home
Other fellas never never ring her phone
She lets them know just where they stand
She tells them all that i'm her man
And when we're out on a date
Other fellas wait till i walk away
They try to beat my time
She tells them in a nice way shes mine
All mine
[Chorus]

My Baby
Whose hair styles are out of this world
Whether it's straight or bouffant or it's curled
My baby my baby my baby
Hey hey hey
My baby, baby pretty baby
Hair soft like a baby lamb and I love to run my fingers through it
I hope she digs me the way I am

Ooh, personality containing more gold

To stake his claim on my baby

Who has my mind in a kind of a haze
Who has me walkin' around in a daze
My baby, my baby, my baby, hey hey hey
My baby, baby, pretty baby
Gives me a feelin' I can't explain
She sets my soul on fire
But I don't feel hurt and I don't feel pain
All I feel is strong desire for my baby (strong desire for my baby)
Oh, I love her so
Oh yeah my baby, that personality to satisfy me
Woo, baby that's my baby, my baby, my baby
Whether it's straight or bouffant or it's curled

Its Growing
Like a snowball rolling down the side of a snow covered hill, it's growing.
Like the size of a fish that the man claims broke his reel, it's growing.
Like a rosebud blooming in the warm of the summer sun, it's growing.
Like the tale by the time it's been told by more than one, wooo, it's growing.
Everyday it grows a little more than it was the day before.
My love for you just grows and grows.
Oh, how it grows and it grows.
And where it's gonna stop I'm sure, nobody knows.
(Hey, hey, hey, nobody knows)
How it grows, and it grows, and it grows.
(Nobody knows) Wooo, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Nobody knows. It grows, it grows, where is it gonna stop)
Wooo, like a need in a guy to see his girl.
When she's gone away, it's growing.
Like the sadness in his little heart
When he knows that she's gone to stay, wooo, it growing.
Everyday it grows a little more than it was the day before.
My love for you just grows and grows.
Oh, how it grows and it grows.
And where it's gonna stop I'm sure, nobody knows.
(Hey, hey, hey, nobody knows) It gets a little wider.
(Nobody knows) Oh, it gets a little stronger.

(Hey, hey, hey) Oh, it lasts a little longer, yeah.

Ill Be In Trouble
If you decide to make me blue, I'll be in trouble.
If you decide to be untrue, I'll be in trouble.
'Cause no matter what you do or say, I know I'm gonna love you anyway.
So if that's what you wanna do, I'll be in trouble.
If you decide to be untrue, I'll be in trouble.
'Cause no matter what you do or say, I know I'm gonna love you anyway.
So if that's what you wanna do, I'll be in trouble.
If you decide one day you want to make a change, love.
You want to leave me here and love a total stranger.
Well, no matter what you do or say, I know I'm gonna love you anyway.
So if that's what you wanna do, I'll be in danger.
I'll do everything I can to make you stay.
Keep you by my side. (By my side)
'Cause I love you in such a way.
Melvin:Your leaving would hurt my pride. (?)
If you decide you want to go, I'll be in trouble.
I can't prepare myself and soul, I'll be in trouble.
So no matter what you do or say, I know I'm gonna love you anyway.
So I just want you to know, I'll be in trouble.
Oh, yeah.

Girl (Why You Wanna Make Me Blue)
I love you girl, with all my heart and soul
I can't understand why you treat me cold
Your every wish, girl, is my command
And that's why I can't seem to understand why
Girl, girl, girl why you wanna make me blue
I'm askin' you girl, girl, girl why you wanna make me blue
One day you say you love me too
Next day you tell me that we are through
My love for you is just a game
But each time we play, girl, my heart feels the pain
Girl, girl, girl why you wanna make me blue (oh)
Girl, girl, girl why you wanna make me blue (so blue)
Woo girl, girl, girl why you wanna make me blue (make me blue)
Oh girl, oh girl, oh girl tell me why can't you be true (can't be true)
The way you treat me, it just isn't fair
You make it so plain, you just don't care
You have a ball around my time
Sleepless nights are getting me tired
Girl, girl, girl why you wanna make me blue
I'm askin' you girl, girl, girl why you wanna make me blue (baby)
Girl, girl, girl why you wanna make me blue (Lord, Lord)
Girl, girl, girl, why you wanna
I can't understand why you treat me cold
Your every wish, girl, is my command
And that's why I can't seem to understand why
Girl, girl, girl why you wanna make me blue
I'm askin' you girl, girl, girl why you wanna make me blue
One day you say you love me too
Next day you tell me that we are through
My love for you is just a game
But each time we play, girl, my heart feels the pain
Girl, girl, girl why you wanna make me blue (oh)
Girl, girl, girl why you wanna make me blue (so blue)
Woo girl, girl, girl why you wanna make me blue (make me blue)
Oh girl, oh girl, oh girl tell me why can't you be true (can't be true)
The way you treat me, it just isn't fair
You make it so plain, you just don't care
You have a ball around my time
Sleepless nights are getting me tired
Girl, girl, girl why you wanna make me blue
I'm askin' you girl, girl, girl why you wanna make me blue (baby)
Girl, girl, girl why you wanna make me blue (Lord, Lord)
Girl, girl, girl, why you wanna
