(Lee Diamond, George Davis)
If you want something to play with
Go and find yourself a toy
Baby my time is too expensive
And I'm not a little boy
If you are serious
Don't play with my heart
It makes me furious
But if you want me to love you
Then a baby I will, girl you know that I will
Tell it like it is
Don't be ashamed to let your conscience be your guide
But I know deep down inside me
I believe you love me, forget your foolish pride
Life is too short to have sorrow
You may be here today and gone tomorrow
You might as well get what you want
So go on and live, baby go on and live
Tell it like it is
I'm nothing to play with
Go and find yourself a toy
But I... Tell it like it is
My time is too expensive and I'm not your little boy

(Lee Diamond, George Davis)
There's no need for you to worry about anything
Who can say what the future gonna bring
But if you worry about tomorrow
It will only bring you sorrow
Go out and have a good time
For this world is so fine
Go out and have a good time
This world is so fine
This world is so fine
Hold your head up high
Face the future with a smile
Things'll be better
It just takes a little while
So when your feelin' low, down and out
You're gonna shine without a doubt
Go out and have a good time
For this world is so fine
Go out and have a good time
This world is so fine
This world is so fine
Life is just what you make it
Can be good or can be bad
How can you miss something you never had
When things go wrong don't forget
There's no need for you to get upset
Go out and have a good time
For this world is so fine
Go out and have a good time
This world is so fine
This world is so fine
It's gonna be alright

(Lee Diamond, George Davis)
It was just imagination, the temptation that went to your head and now you are a victim of circumstance
You've beat me to the girl that I always wanted
You thought you had her brother but you still don't own her because I'm not through
And there's nothing you can do
You never had her
She took you for a ride
I know that it's a fact that you sneak behind my back
Smiled in my face and deceived me with your lies, but I'm not through
Oh, there's nothing you can do
You never had her
She took you for a ride
But this is the part that you knew nothing of
She confessed to me that she toyed with your love
You were just a game, that she loved to play
You never had her
She took you for a ride
All of her ecstasy that you had
Was just imagination, the temptation that went to your head and now you are a victim of circumstance
You had her brother, you were my guest
You pawned your broken heart just like all the rest
And now you are through
And there's nothing you can do
You never had her
She took you for a ride
Was just imagination, the temptation that went to your head and now you are a victim of circumstance
She took you for a ride

( G. Davis, Jr , L. Diamond )
I play the game of the modern romeo but never in my life did I see
A woman as square as a pool table and twice as green
I gave you all of my money and all of my loving too
But now you're goin' around just a telling everybody that I made a fool of you
Girl I love you so, why I love you I just don't know
I ask the man from up above, help me to save your love
I want you
You're a hard nut to crack
You take a strong man and break his back
I don't know but I've been told, next to you my life's been cold
You're a demon, Girl, you know you're outta sight
Girl I love you so, why I love you I just don't know
Ask the man from up above, help me to save your love
I want you
Know the guy you're giving my money
And you come home and call me honey
You look like you made a resolution, took my best friend John and put him in an institution
You're a demon, Girl you know you're outta sight
Girl I love you so, why I love you I just don't know
I ask the man from up above to help me to save your love
I want you
You're a hard nut to crack

( G. Davis, Jr )
You think you're so smart
Yes, you think you know it all
But the game you're trying to play
Can be played another way
And you see that, you never never had it so good 'till you met me
I brought you to the city
Now you tell me, there's no room for pity
My friends tried to tell me so
I told them they didn't know
That lights have gone to your head
You never never had it so good 'till you met, until you met me, oh until you met me
No you never, you never, you never had it so good

( A. Neville )
Too many, too many mornings, gotta wake up soon
Too many, too many mornings, whoa Lord gotta wake up soon
Oh and eat my breakfast by the light of the moon
It was late, very late last summer, when I first got my time
Whoa it was late, very very late last summer you know when I, I first got my time
My buddy got one hundred years, thank the Lord I just got ninety-nine
If you see, if you see my Mama, won't you tell her this for me
Lord, if you see , if you see my dear old mother, won't you please tell her this for me
I got a long long time and Lord knows when I'm gonna be free
You know they come up here a skippin' and a jumpin' but you know that they won't last long
Lord, they come up here a skippin' and a jumpin', but you know that they won't last long
One day they're gonna wish they were a baby boy in their mothers arms
You know they're always, always talking about dangerous blue
Whoa, you know they're always talking about dangerous blue
If I had my big old pistol, you know I'd be dangerous too
Twelve jury men found me guilty, the doorman looked me up and down
Lord, twelve jury men found me guilty, you know the doorman looked me up and down
Just looked at me through the corner of his eye and said boy, you're penitentiary bound
One day, one day down in New Orleans, all the girls gonna jump and shout
Lord, one day down in New Orleans all the girls gonna jump and shout
When them big green gates open up wide, I'll come steppin' out

You said he was just an old acquaintance that you knew a long time ago
I could tell when he held you in his arms, you seemed spellbound by his charms
No need to try, you can't deny, that look in your eyes spelled love, love, love, love
L O V E, L O V E, L O V E was all I saw, it was love, love, love, love
And I used to call you on the telephone
And I thought, I thought it very funny why you were never home
And I used to believe that I could trust you
But I find that you untrue
Lately, lately I find that I'm all by myself
Thinking you love me, when it's someone else
Hats off, hats off to you and your new lover
Cuz for me, cuz for me there will be no other
Girl, to take your place, with tears on my face
Farewell to you, may God bless and keep you
Please dear Lord keep her safe for me
Farewell, farewell my darlin', my darlin', my darlin
Whoa I need you, I need you, I need you

( G. Davis, Jr )
Since you're gone with your guy
I feel as though I want cry
But a man ant supposed to shed a tear
If only you were here (you've gone away baby), if only you were here (you've gone away baby)
If only if you were here I'd lie for you, darling I'd die for you
Please say you're coming home
Since you've gone away
Been working hard while you're at play
Never thinking that you are untrue
Didn't worry over you
So long, this is goodbye
I didn't want you to leave me, but I've got my pride
There's one thing I want you to know
Girl I love you so (you've gone away baby), girl I love you so (you've gone away baby)
You've gone away (you've gone away baby)
So long ( you've gone away baby)
Oh my darling, so long

( F. Caliste )
Hey la, um de hey oh la
Said, hey la, um de hey oh le
Hey, hey, hey, hey oh la
Said hey, oh hey, feelin' good today
One day as I was a havin' myself a party
You know a flyin' saucer landed right by my side
You know a big green man jumped out and boy you know he robbed me
You know he beat me for my bottle before I got high
I hittim' up knowing that I was dead
'Cause he had that big ray-gun pointed at my head
But curiosity will get the best of the best
You know he smelled that bottle and the liquor did the rest
And I said, Hey la, um de hey oh la
Hey la, um de hey oh le
Hey, hey, hey, hey oh la
Hey, oh hey, it ain't over yet
Turned that bottle up and started drinking
It was a long, long time before he pulled it away
His eyes got crossed and man his knees started wobblin'
He took four steps forward and this is what he said
He said, Hey la, um de hey, oh la
Hey la, um de hey, oh le
He said hey, hey, hey, hey oh la
Hey oh la, feel good today
I could see this cat was a just about to party
'Cause he had that great big green in his eye
He said come on hurry on down, let's forget our troubles
Just jump in my space hot-rod and take a little ride
So now I'm not afraid of no kind of space man
'Cause I keep my defenses by my side
And if you ever see me any place or any time
You can bet I'm a holding my bottle by my side
And I'm gonna sing Hey la, um de hey, oh la
Hey la, um de hey, oh le
Hey, hey, hey, hey oh la
Hey oh hey, I feel good today
