We started dancing and love put us into a groove
As soon as we started to move
The music played while our bodies displayed through the dance
Then love picked us out for romance
I thought it was clear the plan was we would share
This feeling just between ourselves
But when the music changed, the plan was re-arranged
He went to dance with someone else
We started dancing and love put us into a groove
But now he’s with somebody new
What does love want me to do?
Love said, “Let the music play
Let the music play, he won’t”
He tried pretending a dance is just a dance, but I see
He’s dancing his way back to me
Guess he discover we are truly lovers, magic from the very start
‘Cause love just kept me groovin’ and he felt me movin’
Even though we danced apart
So we started dancing and love put us into the groove
As soon as we started to move
As soon as we started to move
Love said, “Let the music play, he won’t get away
Just keep the groove and then he’ll come back to you again”, let it play
“Let the music play, he won’t get away
This groove he can’t ignore, he won’t leave you anymore”, no, no, no
Let the mu
Just keep the groove
Let the music
This groove he can’t ignore, he won’t leave me anymore
Let the music
He’ll come back to you, you, yeah
No, no, no
Hmm, hmm, mmm, mmm
Tonight is the night
That you make me a woman, mmm
You said you’ll be gentle with me
And I, I hope you will, mmm, mmm
I’m nervous and I’m trembling
Waitin’ for you to walk in
I’m tryin’ hard to relax
But I just can’t keep still, no
I can hear your car door slammin’
I wanna play big girl and put on a sexy smile
But I know so little about what love is
I just can’t help actin’ like a child
You’re knockin’ on my door and you’re ringin’ my bell
Hope you’re not impatient after waiting so very long
A whole year I put you off with my silly hang-ups
And we’re both old enough to know right from wrong
Tonight is the night
That you make me a woman, mmm
You said you’ll be gentle with me
And I-I hope you will, hmm, mmm
I’m nervous and I’m tremblin’
Waitin’ for you to walk in
I’m tryin’ hard to relax
But I just can’t keep still
Hey, baby
Ho, ho, baby
Ho, yeah, yeah
Oh, but what if my mama should come home early
And catch us doin’ what we’re doin’
Not only will I never live it down
But my whole family relationship it’ll all be ruined
But we’ve gone a little bit too far now
Oh, to turn around
So let’s just pray
That true love is what we’ve found
Tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight
I’ll never forget tonight
No, no, I’ll never forget tonight
When you make me feel real, mmm, hmm
You make me feel real, real good
Oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, whoa
Yeah, and I wanna thank your love
Said I’ve got to thank your love
‘Cause you make me feel good

[Verse 1]
I remember all my life
Raining down as cold as ice
Shadows of a man
A face through a window
Crying in the night
The night goes into morning
Just another day
Happy people pass my way
Looking in their eyes
I see a memory
I never realized
How happy you made me
[Chorus]
Oh, Mandy
Well, you came
And you gave without taking
But I sent you away
Oh, Mandy
Well, you kissed me
And stopped me from shaking
And I need you today
Oh, Mandy
[Verse 2]
I’m standing on the edge of time
I’ve walked away
When love was mine
Caught up in a world of uphill climbing
The tears are in my mind
And nothing is rhyming
[Chorus]
Oh, Mandy
Well, you came
And you gave without taking
But I sent you away
Oh, Mandy
Well, you kissed me
And stopped me from shaking
And I need you today
Oh, Mandy
[Bridge]
Yesterday’s a dream
I face the morning crying on a breeze
The pain is calling
[Chorus]
Oh, Mandy
Well, you came
And you gave without taking
But I sent you away
Oh, Mandy
Well, you kissed me
And stopped me from shaking
And I need you today
Oh, Mandy

For all the things I never said
I’m sorry that I never did
I thank you for your precious time
For teaching me how to climb
I love you more than summertime
You’ve been such a good friend of mine
And every sacred word is true
I learned to love because of you and
Oh mama I saw the world
And it was good
And full of kindness
Every step I took you held my hand
And watched me grow
You’ll never know
How much I love you
And I am not afraid, I’m not afraid
I finally grew
Mama this one’s for you
You always look beyond the dark
You told me joy lives in the heart
And life is what you make of it
Make sure to cherish every bit and
Oh mama I saw the world
And it was good
And full if kindness
Every step I took you held my hand
And watched me grow
You’ll never know
How much I love you

I finally grew
Mama this one’s for you
You, you, you
Mama this one’s for you
You, you, you
Mama this one’s for you

In the hot planes of the garden City in Nigeria. My father summoned a local bone specialist to our apartment after discovering that my steps was wierd. He didn’t inform me before her arrival because to him I would probably run away because I was scared and the pain I was expecting will set in immediately.
She tried to rotate my leg like the hands of a clock as I, on the other hand, tried not to fart, but she couldn’t. So, she brought out a sharp blade of which she used to create incisions on my knee. She did this because she felt I had some bad blood. Like I said earlier, she is a local bone specialist.
This woman thought I was numb; that I could not feel anything as she pierced my leg with that sharp blade. I felt it, every contact.
The heat, pain, gripped my heart when she forced my almost stiff leg against her thighs. I groaned and My father cried. With sincerity in the tears that gushed from his almost wrinkled but still young face he held my hands so I will not disrupt the process. He said, “Don’t worry. You’ll be fine.”
The tears and words took me to a place that made me smile as I endured the pain to gain solace.
Pain is relative. It is what we all must face. It comes in various ways: break-up, sickness, accident etc. Some times, we’re the missive to pain- to ourselves and others.
If anyone tells you he/she can take away pain. Just smile and give a yes nod.
If they tell you not to worry. Just smile. Let your cheek join the pain race. I can not take away your pain but I can tell you I LOVE AND NEED YOU. Hold that sentence and smile. You’ll me find you without pain there.
Come! Hold my hands…We can do this together! Don’t worry you’ll be fine…
Many rivers to cross
But I can’t seem to find my way
Wandering I am lost as I travel along
The white cliffs of Dover
Many rivers to cross and it’s only my will
That keeps me alive
I’ve been licked, washed up for years and,
I merely survive because of my pride.
And this loneliness won’t leave me alone
It’s such a drag to be in on your own
My woman left and she didn’t say why
Well I guess, I gotta try.
Many rivers to cross but where to begin,
I’m playing for time
There’ll be times when I find myself thinking
Of committing some dreadful crime.
I’ve got many rivers to cross
But I can’t seem to find my way
Wandering I am lost as I travel along
The white cliffs of Dover
Many rivers to cross and it’s only my will
That keeps me alive
I’ve been licked, washed up for my years and,
I merely survive because of my pride.

I got your love
You need to look no further
Don’t you know that
Don’t you know that
After my love
You’ll never need another
Don’t you know that
Don’t you know that
I don’t make no promises I can’t keep
And I promised myself that I’d love you forever
How many times must I say that
For you to understand the real thing
Don’t you know that I love you so
Baby, don’t you know
Don’t you know that
I love you so, ooh, don’t you know
Don’t you know that
Oh
Without a doubt
You are my sweetest inspiration
Don’t you know that
Don’t you know that
I’m always down
For anything that you say
Don’t you know that
Don’t you know that
I love you so, yeah
I really love you, don’t you know, yeah
Don’t you know that
Alright, don’t you know that
I really, really do, yeah
I’m really so in love with you, yeah
Don’t you know that
Alright, ooh, yeah
I used to doubt every girl that I’d meet
I thought that nobody could knock me off my feet
But you are the one who made my heart’s bell ring
And that’s why I’m sure that this is the real thing, yeah…
And I never thought I’d feel this way
And as far as I’m concerned
I’m glad I got the chance to say
That I do believe, I love you
And if I should ever go away
Well, then close your eyes and try
To feel the way we do today
And then if you can remember
Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
That’s what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I’ll be on your side forever more
That’s what friends are for
Well, you came in loving me
And now there’s so much more I see
And so by the way
I thank you
Oh and then for the times when we’re apart
Well, then close your eyes and know
The words are coming from my heart
And then if you can remember
Keep smiling and keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
That’s what friends are for
In good times and bad times
I’ll be on your side forever more
That’s what friends are for
Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
That’s what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I’ll be on your side forever more
That’s what friends are for
Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
Cause I tell you, that’s what friends are for
Whoa, good times and the bad times
I’ll be on your side forever more
That’s what friends are for
WHAT ARE FRIENDS FOR?

You’re broken down and tired
Of living life on a merry go round
And you can’t find the fighter
But I see it in you so we gonna walk it out
And move mountains
We gonna walk it out
And move mountains
And I’ll rise up
I’ll rise like the day
I’ll rise up
I’ll rise unafraid
I’ll rise up
And I’ll do it a thousand times again
And I’ll rise up
High like the waves
I’ll rise up
In spite of the ache
I’ll rise up
And I’ll do it a thousands times again
For you
For you
For you
For you
When the silence isn’t quiet
And it feels like it’s getting hard to breathe
And I know you feel like dying
But I promise we’ll take the world to its feet
And move mountains
We’ll take it to its feet
And move mountains
And I’ll rise up
I’ll rise like the day
I’ll rise up
I’ll rise unafraid
I’ll rise up
And I’ll do it a thousand times again
For you
For you
For you
For you
All we need, all we need is hope
And for that we have each other
And for that we have each other
We will rise
We will rise
We’ll rise, oh oh
We’ll rise
I’ll rise up
Rise like the day
I’ll rise up
In spite of the ache
I will rise a thousands times again
And we’ll rise up
Rise like the waves
We’ll rise up
In spite of the ache
We’ll rise up
And we’ll do it a thousands times again
For you oh oh oh oh oh
For you oh oh oh oh oh
For you oh oh oh oh oh
For you

Find a way to my heart, and I will always be with you
From wherever you are, I’ll be waiting
I’ll keep a place in my heart, you will see it shining through
So find a way to my heart, and I will, I will follow you
This journey’s not easy for you, I know
If your footsteps get too faint to hear, I’ll go
‘Cause you know, questions are never that easy
And never the same
You have the answer believe me
If you have the faith
Find a way to my heart, and I will always be with you
From wherever you are, I’ll be waiting
I’ll keep a place in my heart, you will see it shining through
So find a way to my heart, and I will, I will follow you
Time may come, and time may go, I know
If you should call out for me, I’ll go
But you know, there is a code to be broken
I wrap it around
Without a word being spoken
Without a sound
There’s a reason I hide my heart
Out of sight out of mind
And when I find out just who you are
The door will be open for you to..
Find a way to my heart, and I will always be with you
From wherever you are, I’ll be waiting
I’ll keep a place in my heart, you will see it shining through
So find a way to my heart, and I will, I will follow you
If tomorrow is judgement day (sing mommy)
And I’m standin’ on the front line
And the Lord ask me what I did with my life
I will say I spent it with you
If I wake up in World War Three
I see destruction and poverty
And I feel like I wanna go home
It’s okay if you’re coming with me
‘Cause your love is my love
And my love is your love
It would take an eternity to break us
And the chains of Amistad couldn’t hold us
‘Cause your love is my love
And my love is your love
It would take an eternity to break us
And the chains of Amistad couldn’t hold us
If I lose my fame and fortune
And I’m homeless on the street
And I’m sleepin’ in Grand Central Station
It’s okay if you’re sleepin’ with me
As the years they pass us by
We stay young through each other’s eyes
And no matter how old we get
It’s okay as long as I got you babe
‘Cause your love is my love
And my love is your love
It would take an eternity to break us
And the chains of Amistad couldn’t hold us
‘Cause your love is my love
And my love is your love
It would take an eternity to break us
And the chains of Amistad couldn’t hold us
If I should die this very day
Don’t cry, ’cause on earth we wasn’t meant to stay
And no matter what the people say
I’ll be waiting for you after the judgement day
‘Cause your love is my love
And my love is your love
It would take an eternity to break us
And the chains of Amistad couldn’t hold us
‘Cause your love is my love
And my love is your love
It would take an eternity to break us
And the chains of Amistad couldn’t hold us
‘Cause your love is my love
And my love is your love
It would take an eternity to break us
And the chains of Amistad couldn’t hold us
What about sunrise
What about rain
What about all the things that you said
We were to gain
What about killing fields
Is there a time
What about all the things
That you said were yours and mine
Did you ever stop to notice
All the blood we’ve shed before
Did you ever stop to notice
This crying Earth, these weeping shores
Aah, ooh
What have we done to the world
Look what we’ve done
What about all the peace
That you pledge your only son
What about flowering fields
Is there a time
What about all the dreams
That you said was yours and mine
Did you ever stop to notice
All the children dead from war
Did you ever stop to notice
This crying earth, these weeping shores
Aah, ooh
Aah, ooh
I used to dream
I used to glance beyond the stars
Now I don’t know where we are
Although I know we’ve drifted far
Aah, ooh
Aah, ooh
Aah, ooh
Aah, ooh
Hey, what about yesterday
(What about us)
What about the seas
(What about us)
The heavens are falling down
(What about us)
I can’t even breathe
(What about us)
What about apathy
(What about us)
Drowning in the seas
(What about us)
What about the promised land
Preachin’ what I believe
(What about us)
What about the holy land
(What about it)
What about the greed
(What about us)
Where did we go wrong
Someone tell me why
(What about us)
What about baby boy
(What about him)
What about the days
(What about us)
What about all their joy
Do we give a damn
Aah, ooh
Aah, ooh

I met my old lover
On the street last night
She seemed so glad to see me
I just smiled
And we talked about some old times
And we drank ourselves some beers
Still crazy after all these years
Oh Still crazy after all these years
I’m not the kind of man
Who tends to socialize
I seem to lean on
Old familiar ways
And I ain’t no fool for love songs
That whisper in my ears
Still crazy after all these years
Oh still crazy after all these years
Four in the morning
Crapped out
Yawning
Longing my life away
I’ll never worry
Why should I?
It’s all gonna fade
Now I sit by my window
And I watch the cars
I fear I’ll do some damage
One fine day
But I would not be convicted
By a jury of my peers
Still crazy after all these years
Oh still crazy
Still crazy
Still crazy after all these years.
The devil went down to Georgia
He was lookin’ for a soul to steal
He was in a bind
‘Cause he was way behind
And he was willin’ to make a deal
When he came upon this young man
Sawin’ on a fiddle and playin’ it hot
And the devil jumped
Up on a hickory stump
And said, “boy, let me tell you what
I guess you didn’t know it
But I’m a fiddle player too
And if you’d care to take a dare, I’ll make a bet with you
Now you play a pretty good fiddle, boy
But give the devil his due
I’ll bet a fiddle of gold
Against your soul
‘Cause I think I’m better than you.”
The boy said, “my name’s Johnny
And it might be a sin
But I’ll take your bet
And you’re gonna regret
‘Cause I’m the best there’s ever been.”
Johnny, rosin up your bow and play your fiddle hard
‘Cause hell’s broke loose in Georgia, and the devil deals the cards
And if you win, you get this shiny fiddle made of gold
But if you lose, the devil gets your soul
The devil opened up his case
And he said, “I’ll start this show.”
And fire flew from his fingertips
As he rosined up his bow
Then he pulled the bow across the strings
And it made an evil hiss
And a band of demons joined in
And it sounded something like this
When the devil finished
Johnny said, “well, you’re pretty good, old son
But sit down in that chair right there
And let me show you how it’s done.”
He played Fire on the Mountain run boys, run
The devil’s in the House of the Rising Sun
Chicken in a bread pan pickin’ out dough
Granny, does your dog bite? No child, no
The devil bowed his head
Because he knew that he’d been beat
And he laid that golden fiddle
On the ground at Johnny’s feet
Johnny said, “Devil, just come on back
If you ever want to try again
I done told you once you son of a bitch
I’m the best that’s ever been.”
He played Fire on the Mountain run boys, run
The devil’s in the House of the Rising Sun
Chicken in a bread pan pickin’ out dough
Granny, does your dog bite? No child, no

Sometimes late at night
I lie awake and watch her sleeping
She’s lost in peaceful dreams
So I turn out the lights and lay there in the dark
And the thought crosses my mind
If I never wake up in the morning
Would she ever doubt
The way I feel about her in my heart
If tomorrow never comes
Will she know how much I loved her
Did I try in every way to show her every day
That she’s my only one
And if my time on earth were through
And she must face this world without me
Is the love I gave her in the past
Gonna be enough to last
If tomorrow never comes
‘Cause I’ve lost loved ones in my life
Who never knew how much I loved them
Now I live with the regret
That my true feelings for them never were revealed
So I made a promise to myself
To say each day how much she means to me
And avoid that circumstance
Where there’s no second chance to tell her how I feel
‘Cause if tomorrow never comes
Will she know how much I loved her
Did I try in every way to show her every day
That she’s my only one
And if my time on earth were through
And she must face this world without me
Is the love I gave her in the past
Gonna be enough to last
If tomorrow never comes
So tell that someone that you love
Just what you’re thinking of
If tomorrow never comes
