VERSE 1:
You got a smile so bright,
You know you could've been a candle
I'm holding you so tight
You know you could've been a handle.

The way you sweept 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.

CHORUS:
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)
(the way you do the things you do)

VERSE 2:
As pretty as you are,
You know you could've been a flower
If good looks was a minute,
You know that you could be an hour.

The way you stole my heart,
You know you could've been a cruel crook.
And baby you're so smart,
You know you could've been a school book.

CHORUS
(music)

You made my life so rich,
You know you could've been some money
And baby you're so sweet, (oh oh)
You know you could've been some honey.

CHORUS

you really swept me off my feet
(the way you do the things you do)
you made my life complete
(the way you do the things you do)
you made my life so bright
(the way you do the things you do)
you make me feel all right
(the way you do the things you do)

. . .


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.

Chorus:
Ain't too proud to beg (sweet darlin'.)
Please don't leave me girl (don't you go.)
Ain't to proud to plead (baby,baby)
Please don't leave me girl (don't you go.)

Now I've heard a cryin' man,
Is half a man,
With no sense of pride.
But if I have to cry to keep you, I don't mind weepin',
If it'll keep you by my side.

Chorus

If I have to sleep on your doorstep,
All night and day,
Just to keep you from walkin' away.
Let your friends laugh, even this I can stand,
'Cause I wanna keep you, anyway I can!

Chorus

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 come, and plead to you baby,
If pleadin' keeps you from, walking out that door!

Chorus

. . .


I've got sunshine
On a cloudy day.
When it's cold outside
I've got the month of May.

(chorus)
I guess you'd say
"What can make me feel this way?"
My girl
My girl
My girl
Talkin' 'bout my girl.
(my girl)

I've got so much honey
The bees envy me.
I've got a sweeter song
Than the birds in the trees.

(chorus)
Well, I guess you'd say
"What can make me feel this way?"
My girl
My girl
My girl
Talkin' 'bout my girl.
(my girl)

hoooo hoooo

hey hey hey
hey hey hey

hoooooo hooooo.....yeah

I don't need no money,
Fortune, or fame.
I've got all the riches, baby
One man can claim.

(chorus)
Well, I guess you'd say
"What can make me feel this way?"
My girl
My girl
My girl
Talkin' 'bout my girl
My girl
(Talkin' 'bout my girl.)
I've got sunshine on a cloudy day with my girl
I've even got the month of May with my girl.
(my girl, my girl)

Talkin' 'bout
Talkin' 'bout
Talkin' 'bout, baby
(my girl.)

DON'T LOOK BACK
WRITERS
WILLIAM “SMOKEY�? ROBINSON, RONALD WHITE

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.
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.

. . .


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)
So Fee, Fie, Fo Fum,
look out baby, 'cause here I come,
And I'm bringin' you a love that's a true,
so get ready, get ready.
I'm gonna try to make you love me too,
so get ready, get ready, here I come.
I'm on my way.

If you want to play hide and seek with love
let me remind you (it's alright)
The lovin' you're gonna miss in the time
it takes to find you (it's outta sight)
So fiddle-ee-dee, fiddle-ee-dum,
look out baby, 'cause here I come,
And I'm bringin' you a love that's a true,
so get ready, get ready.
I'm gonna try to make you love me too,
so get ready, get ready, here I come.
I'm on my way.

All my friends should want you too,
I understand it (be alright)
I hope I get to you before they do
the way I planned it (be outta sight)
So twiddle-ee-dee, twiddle-ee-dum,
look out baby, 'cause here I come,
And I'm bringin' you a love that's a true,
so get ready, get ready.
I'm gonna try to make you love me too,
so get ready, get ready, here I come.
I'm on my way.

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 I know that...
(Beauty's only skin deep, yeah yeah yeah.)
I know that beauty's only skin deep, yes it is.

Now you speak your words warm and sincere,
And let's me know that your love is here.
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)
I know that beauty's only skin deep, yes it is

Oh baby, oh yea
(Oh Yeah, Oh Yeah)

(Beauty's only skin deap, yeah yeah yeah.)
Ooo-hoo-hoo
(Beauty's only skin deep, oh yea.)
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 thats an ever lovin' rare quality
Now show me a girl, a girl thats fine
And I'll choose the one with true lovin every time.

Cause I know that...
(Beauty's only skin deep, yeah yeah yeah)
And I beleive 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)
Beauty is only skin deep

The sun is shining, there's plenty of light,
a new day is dawning sunny and bright.
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 (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 our young hearts 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 (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)
'Til I find her I'll be crying ('til I find her I'll be crying)
Everyday I'm more inclined to find her, inclined to find her
Inclined to find my baby.
Been looking everywhere, baby I really really care.

Determination is fading fast,
Inspiration is a thing of the past.
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 (since I lost my baby)
I feel so bad (since I lost my baby)
I feel so sad (since I lost my baby)

. . .


This little girl of mine,
I wanna say she's so fine.
And each and every day,
I make sure she has her way.

Now, we don't feel tied down,
Although our hearts are bound.
I don't have to chase her all over town.
My baby she's always around.

The girl's alright with me.
You know the girl's alright.
Listen, the girl's alright with me.
You know the girl's alright.

Now she's so good to me.
I guess that's why I feel fancy free.
Just to see the glow in her eyes,
Makes me once again realize.

I love her with all my heart
And I know we'll never, never part.
I never heard her about or caught her playing.
I guess that's why you always hear me saying...

The girl's alright with me.
You know the girl's alright, hmm...
The girl's alright with me.
You know the girl's alright

[Instrumental]

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, she's mine, all mine.

The girl's alright with me.
YOu know the girls alright
And I trust her with my heart now. (The Girl's alright with me)
Everyday now. (You know the girl's alright)
You know, you know that the (girls alright with me)
In everyway now. (You know the girls alright)

My Baby - The Temptations
(R.Rogers,W.Robinson & W.Moore)

Whose hair styles are out of this world
whether it's straight or bu'font or it's curled
My Baby My Baby My Baby ... hey hey hey
My Baby, Baby pretty Baby

Hair soft like a baby lamb I love to run my fingers through it.
I hope she digs me the way I am, but if I have to change.
You know I'm gonna do it for my baby,
(I'm gonna do it for my baby)

Personality contains more gold than any bank in this world could hold.
My Baby, My Baby, My Baby, hey hey hey
My Baby, Baby, pretty Baby

Enough gold in her personality, to set Fort Knox to shame.
this golden girl belongs to me, Yet you know Eli tried
To stake his claim on my baby.

(My baby) she's cute as can be (my baby) this girl's got a hold on me
(My baby) has a kiss so sweet, she knocks me off my feet,
she makes my life complete

Oh yeah, she's my baby
Oh yeah, she's my baby
and I love her soooooo
Yeah, I love my baby sooooo

My baby, she's cute as can be, my baby, this girl's got a hold on me
My baby, has a kiss so sweet, she knocks me off my feet,
she makes my life complete

Who has my mind in a kind of haze,Who has me walkin' around in a daze.
My Baby, My Baby, My Baby, hey hey hey
My Baby, Baby, pretty Baby

She 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,

Oh yeah my baby, that personality to satisfy me
woooo that's my baby, My baby, My baby

(fade out)

. . .


Like a snow ball rolling down the side of a snow covered hill (it's growing)
Like the size of the fish that the man claims broke his reel (it's growing)
Like the rose bud blooming in the warmth of the summer sun (it's growing)
Like the tale by the time its been told by more than one (it's growing)

Every day it grows a little more then it was the day before
My love for you just grows and grows
ooooh how it grows and grows
and where it's going to stop I'm sure nobody knows
hey,hey,hey
(nobody knows)
how it grows and it grows and it grows
(nobody knows)
yeah,yeah,yeah,yeah
(nobody knows it grows and grows where is it gonna stop)
Oooo

Like the need in a guy to see his girl when she's gone away (its growing)
Like the sadness in his little heart when he knows that she's gone to stay Ooo (it's growing)

Every day it grows a little more than it was the day before
My love for you just grows and grows
ooooh how it grows and grows
and where it's going to stop I'm sure nobody knows
(hey,hey,hey nobody knows)
It gets a little wider (nobody knows)
aw it gets a little stronger (hey,hey,hey)
the feeling from each kiss baby (hey,hey,hey)
aw it last a litter longer (hey,hey,hey)
Ooo so much OooOoo so much
Can't you see us growing baby
It grows and it grows and it grows

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 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: I have to forget all about 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.

Instrumental

GIRL (WHY YOU WANNA MAKE ME BLUE)
WRITERS
EDDIE HOLLAND
NORMAN WHITFIELD

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.
The 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
Instrumental
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 is just unfair.
You make it so plain you just don't care.
You have a ball around tha' town.
Sleepless nights are getting me down.
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?
