How many times must we tell the tale? How many times must we fall? Living in lost memory You just recalled Working on the sound of the band Trying to get the music right Two go out working Three stay home at night That's when she said she was pretending Like she knew the plan That's when I knew she was pretending Pretending to understand Pretending, pretending Pretending, pretending Satisfied but lost in love Situations change You're never who you used to think you are How strange That's when she said she was pretending Like she knew the plan That's when I knew she was pretending Pretending to understand Pretending, pretending Pretending, pretending I get lost in alibis Sadness can't prevail Everybody knows strong love Can't fail Don't be pretending about how you feel Don't be pretending that your love is real Don't be pretending about how you feel Don't be pretending that your love is real Pretending, pretending Pretending, pretending
(Jerry Lynn Williams)
God's got a plan, he's making it clear Sweet little love song in your ear Like hearts made of diamond, love will prevail Put a little wind in your sail I'd do anything, anything you can dream of I'd do anything, anything for your love For your love For your love Listen now baby, I'll tell you true Just how much that I love you I got a sweet feelin' I know is real This kind of love you can't conceal I'd do anything, anything you can dream of I'd do anything, anything for your love For your love For your love I'd do anything, anything you can dream of I'd do anything, anything for your love For your love For your love
Bad Love (by Eric Clapton and Mick Jones) Oh what a feeling I get when I'm with you You take my heart into everything you do And it makes me sad for the lonely people I walked that road for so long Now I know that I'm one of the lucky people Your love is making me strong I've had enough bad love I need something I can be proud of I've had enough bad love No more bad love And now I see that my life has been so blue With all the heartaches I had till I met you But I'm glad to say now that's all behind me With you here by my side And there's no more memories to remind me Your love will keep me alive Chorus Chorus Chorus
(Jerry Lynn Williams)
Lately I've been running on faith What else can a poor boy do? But my world will be right When love comes over you Lately I've been talking in my sleep I can't imagine what I'd have to say Except my world wr way I've always been One to take each and every day Seems like by now I'd find a love who cares just for me Then we'd go running on faith All of our dreams would come true And our world will be right When love comes over me and you I've always been One to take each and every day Seems like by now I'd find a love who cares just for me Then we'd go running on faith All of our dreams would come true And our world will be right When love comes over me and you When love comes over you
Hard Times (by Ray Charles) My mother told me 'Fore she passed away Said son when I'm gone Don't forget to pray 'Cause there'll be hard times Lord those hard times Who knows better than I? Well I soon found out Just what she meant When I had to pawn my clothes Just to pay the rent Talkin' 'bout hard times Lord those hard times Who knows better than I? I had a woman Who was always around But when I lost my money She put me down Talkin' 'bout hard times Hard times Yeah, yeah, who knows better than I? Lord, one of these days There'll be no more sorrow When I pass away And no more hard times No more hard times Yeah, yeah, who knows better than I?
Hound Dog (by Jerry Lieber and Mike Stoller) You ain't nothing but a hound dog Been snoopin' round my door You ain't nothing but a hound dog Been snoopin' round my door You can wag your tail But I ain't gonna feed you no more You told me you was high class I could see through that You told me you was high class I could see through that And baby I know You ain't no real cool cat First Verse You made me feel so blue You made me weep and moan You made me feel so blue You made me weep and moan 'Cause I'm looking for a woman All your lookin' for is a home First Verse
No Alibis (by Jerry Lynn Williams) I beg your pardon, hello darlin' This is me you're talkin' to Sit down and tell me about it You don't have to shout it at me Tell me what you really want to do Don't give me no alibis No untrue stories you're trying to justify Don't want no alibis Just another reason for another lie Mountain gets steeper The hole you dig gets deeper You better stop and climb out 'Cause I'm trying to give it all to you Baby I can see right through you Sometimes you lose what it's all about Don't give me no alibis Can't go through life trying to justify Don't want no alibis Just another reason for another lie Chorus Mountain gets steeper The hole you dig is getting deeper Better reach out and pull yourself out Nobody ever gonna love you the way that I love you And I never want to see you doin' without Chorus Chorus
Run So Far (by George Harrison) You fly Out as your smile wears thin I sigh Knowing the mess you're in And you know that you can't get away And you know you can't hide it from yourself Lonely days, heavy heart No escape, can only run so far I know Something I ought to say Stuck here Trying to find a way And you know that you can't get away And you know you can't hide it from yourself Lonely nights, blue guitar No way out, can only run so far Lonesome tears, at the bar One way street, can only run so far I pray That you might make it through Those teardrops Now seems a part of yo And you know that you can't get away And you know you can't hide it from yourself Fallin' down, under par Can't get out, can only run so far Lonely days, heavy heart No escape, can only run so far Lonesome tears, at the bar One way street, can only run so far
(Eric Clapton — Robert Cray)
I can feel your body When I'm lying in bed There's too much confusion Going around through my head And it makes me so angry To know that the flame still burns Why can't I get over? When will I ever learn? Old love, leave me alone Old love, go on home I can see your face But I know that it's not real It's just an illusion Caused by how I used to feel And it makes me so angry To know that the flame will always burn I'll never get over I know now that I'll never learn Old love, leave me alone Old love, go on home
(Jerry Lynn Williams — Marty Grebb)
Well I just don't get it Can't make the pieces fit I might just as well forget it But my heart won't let me quit You say it's only a part of love That's right But I get a little worried sometimes When I start to lose Tired of holding it together When I know I'm going to blow another fuse I'm at my breaking point My breaking point I'm at my breaking point My breaking point Well you're never gonna get it If you don't get up and try Try and spread those wings around me Honey let me see you fly You say it's only a part of love That's right But I get a little worried sometimes When I start to lose Tired of holding it together When I know I'm going to blow another fuse I'm at my breaking point My breaking point I'm at my breaking point My breaking point Maybe someday you'll recover I can see it in your eyes One more thing taht you'll discover That you'll finally realize
Lead Me On (by Cecil Womack and Linda Womack) Tell me anything you think I wanna hear Just to keep me standin' here To secure your shaky fears Tell me you love me, but in your heart you know you don't So you lie 'cause you think I want To make believe you love when you don't Lead me on, lead me on Lead me on, lead me on I'll play along and along and along Baby lead me on Lead me on Pretend it's rainin' when the tears flow from my eyes And you're warm when you're cold as ice And everything's gonna be alright And it's a shame, little Johnn wears my name And you know I'm not the one Still you say he is my son Chorus And when I leave to go work for you You cry you're lonely too To make me feel your love is true But in your dreams you slip and tell it all I hear you calling out his name You say you love him loud and plain Chorus
(Eugene McDaniel)
Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself You say I've been spending my money on other women You've been taking money from someone else I called your mama 'bout three or four nights ago I called your mama 'bout three or four nights ago Well your mother said "Son" Don't call my daughter no more" Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself You say I've been spending my money on other women You've been taking money from someone else Come back home baby, try my love one more time Come back home baby, try my love one more time If I don't go on and quit you I'm gonna lose my mind Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself You say I've been spending my money on other women You've been taking money from someone else
