Title
- Aaah...
- Did I hear you say you love me
- Well baby I've got to know
- ‘Cause if you really really love me
- You've got to do things to show
- Don't give me the wrong impression
- By showing me warm expressions
- Put me in the right direction
- With tender love and affection
- I've been standing on the outside
- Trying to get on the inside
- Did I hear you say you need me
- Well baby tell me the truth
- ‘Cause if you really really need me
- My sweetness here's what I'll do
- Cut out all my crazy playing
- ‘Cause for your love I have been laying
- Just tell me that is what you're saying
- And I'll be yours without delaying
- I've been standing on the outside
- Trying to get on the inside
- Well if you love me honey let me hear you say
- I love you
- If you love me honey let me hear you say
- I love you
- Sounds so good
- Well if you love me honey let me hear you say
- I love you
- Did I hear you say you want me
- Now please don't give me no mess
- ‘Cause if you really really want me
- You've got to give me your best
- Put my love life right in the pocket
- And dare someone to try to top it
- And when you think I want to drop it
- Just love me ‘til I beg don't stop it
- ‘Cause I've been standing on the outside
- Trying to get on the inside
- Well if you love me honey let me hear you say
- I love you
- Well if you love me honey let me hear you say
- I love you
- Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
- If you love me honey let me hear you say
- I love you
- Baby, if you love me let me hear you say
- I love you
- If you love me let me hear you say
- I love you
- And if you need me let me hear you say
- I love you
- If you want me let me hear you say
- I love you
- If you need me let me hear you say
- I love you
- If you want me let me hear you say
- I love you
- If you need me let me hear you say
- I love you
- If you want me let me hear you say
- I love you
- If you need me let me hear you say
- I love you
- You made my soul a burning fire
- You're getting to be my one desire
- You're getting to be all that matters to me
- And let me tell you girl
- I hope and pray each day I live
- A little more love I'll have to give
- A little more love that's devoted and true
- 'Cause all I do is think about you

- I longed for you since I was born
- A woman sensitive and warm
- And that you were
- With pride and strength no one would test
- But yet have feminine finesse
- And so much more
- You took me riding in your rocket, gave me a star
- But at a half a mile from heaven you dropped me back
- down to this cold, cold world
- Took me riding in your rocket, gave me a star
- But at a half a mile from heaven you dropped me back
- down to this cold, cold world
- A female Shakespeare of your time
- With looks to blow Picasso's mind
- You were the best
- Your body moved with grace and song
- Like symphonies by Bach or Brahms
- Nevertheless, oh oh
- You took me riding in your rocket, gave me a star
- But at a half a mile from heaven you dropped me back
- down to this cold, cold world
- Ooh you took me riding in your rocket, gave me a star
- But at a half a mile from heaven you dropped me back
- down to this cold, cold world
- Da Da Da, Da Da Da, Da Da Da, Da Da Da
- Da Da Da, Da Da Da-aa
- The passion burning in your heart
- Would make hell's fire seem like a spark
- Where did it go
- Just why that you would overnight
- Turn love to stone as cold as ice
- I'll never know
- But you took me riding in your rocket, gave me a star
- But at a half a mile from heaven you dropped me back
- down to this cold, cold world
- Baby you took me riding in your rocket, gave me a star
- But at a half a mile from heaven you dropped me back
- down to this cold, cold world
- Cold, too cold, you took me riding in your rocket, gave me a star
- But at a half a mile from heaven you dropped me back
- down to this cold, cold world
- Oh, Oh, Oh, took me riding in your rocket, gave me a star
- But at a half a mile from heaven you dropped me back
- down to into this cold, cold world
- I would not do that to a dog
- Took me riding in your rocket, gave me a star
- But at a half a mile from heaven you dropped me back
- down to this cold, cold world
- You took me riding in your rocket, gave me a star
- But at a half a mile from heaven you dropped me back
- down to this cold, cold world
- Ooh baby
- Rocket love
- Don't wanna believe what they're telling me
- Somebody's been pickin in my cherry tree
- Don't wanna mistrust nobody by mistake
- But I hear tell someone's been diggin round in my cake
- And I ain't gonna stand for it baby
- And I ain't gonna stand for it baby
- And I ain't gonna stand for it baby

- And I ain't gonna stand for it baby
- And I ain't gonna stand for it baby

- nah-ah (nah-ah nah-ah) nah-ah (nah-ah nah-ah)
- Don't wanna believe what somebody said
- But somebody said somebody's shoes was under my bed
- Don't wanna cause nobody no bodily harm
- But somebody's been rubbin' on my good luck charm
- And I ain't gonna stand for it baby
- And I ain't gonna stand for it baby
- I ain't gonna stand for it baby

- Close your eyes ‘til the morning
- Close your eyes ‘til the early dew
- Get inside what you've been missing
- Are the very first words that I heard coming from you
- Take a chance on the secret
- That you hide for beneath your dreams
- Use your wildest imagination
- You just tell me what it is and I will make it be
- As if you read my mind
- As if you touched my soul
- As if you knew exactly where I wanted to go
- Let's get high on the happy
- With a toast to you and me
- Love is here just for the giving
- And between us we've got all the love we'll ever need
- As if you read my mind
- As if you touched my soul
- As if you knew exactly where I wanted to go
- As if you read my mind
- As if you touched my soul
- As if you knew exactly where I wanted to go
- As if you read my mind
- As if you touched my soul
- As if you knew exactly where I wanted to go
- As if you read my mind
- As if you touched my soul
- As if you knew exactly where I wanted to go
- Everyone's feeling pretty
- It's hotter than July
- Though the world's full of problems
- They couldn't touch us even if they tried
- From the park I hear rhythms
- Marley's hot on the box
- Tonight there will be a party
- On the corner at the end of the block
- Didn't know you
- Would be jammin' until the break of dawn
- I bet nobody ever told you that you
- would be jammin' until the break of dawn
- You would be jammin' and jammin' and jammin', jam on
- They want us to join their fighting
- But our answer today
- Is to let all our worries
- Like the breeze through our fingers slip away
- Peace has come to Zimbabwe
- Third World's right on the one
- Now's the time for celebration
- 'Cause we've only just begun
- Didn't know that you
- Would be jammin' until the break of dawn
- Bet you nobody ever told you that you
- Would be jammin' until the break of dawn
- You would be jammin' and jammin' and jammin', jam on
- Bet you nobody ever told you that you
- (We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin')
- Would be jammin' until the break of dawn
- I know nobody told you that you
- (We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin')
- Would be jammin' until the break of dawn
- We're jammin', jammin', jammin', jam on
- You ask me am I happy
- Well as matter of fact
- I can say that I'm ecstatic
- 'Cause we all just made a pact
- We've agreed to get together
- Joined as children in Jah
- When you're moving in the positive
- Your destination is the brightest star
- You didn't know that you
- (We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin')
- Would be jammin' until the break of dawn
- I bet you nobody ever told you that you
- (We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin')
- Would be jammin' until the break of dawn
- Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, you
- (We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin')
- Would be jammin' until the break of dawn
- Don't you stop the music, oh no,
- (We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin')
- Na, na na...
- (We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin')
- Nobody told you Oh, Oh, Oh, you
- (We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin')
- Would be jammin' until the break of dawn
- I bet you if someone approached you
- (We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin')
- yesterday to tell you that you would be jammin' you would not believe it because you never thought that you would be jammin'
- Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh,
- (We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin')
- jammin' 'til the break of dawn
- Oh, Oh, Oh, You may as well believe what you are feeling
- (We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin')
- because you feel your body jammin'
- (We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin')
- Oh, Oh, you would be jammin' until the break of dawn
- (We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin')

- [Keita]Show me how to do like you
- [Aisha]If you say please
- [Keita]Please
- Since age one Keita knew he had the answer
- And it was that someday he'd be a dancer
- And with help from his sis
- Surely that boy would not miss
- From being the baddest dancer in the whole neighborhood
- Late at night when he was supposed to be sleeping
- You could hear the pitter patter of feet creeping
- To where music would play
- To his sister he would say
- Before his father said hey boy get right back in that bed
- Show me how to do like you
- Show me how to do it
- Show me how to do like you
- Show me how to do it
- - Can you rock can you rock
- Show me how to do like you
- Can you rock around the clock, can you rock
- Show me how to do it
- - Can you rock can you rock
- Show me how to do like you
- Can you rock around the clock, can you rock
- Once at school they put on a talent contest
- To find out who could really boogy the best
- But his mama said no
- Keita's much too young to go
- But his sister said please let him go so the world can see
- When they saw him they said he must be crazy
- Look at him he ain't nothing but a baby
- But soon as he began
- You knew the contest he would win
- Because everyone in the audience began to cheer
- Show me how to do like you
- Show me how to do it
- Show me how to do like you
- Show me how to do it
- - Can you rock can you rock
- Show me how to do like you
- Can you rock around the clock, can you rock
- Show me how to do it
- - Can you rock can you rock
- Show me how to do like you
- Can you rock around the clock, can you rock
- Show me how to do it
- - Can you rock can you rock
- Show me how to do like you
- Can you rock around the clock, can you rock
- Show me how to do it
- [Aisha]Ooh, you done broke Mama's lamp
- [Keita]Uh, uh
- [Aisha]Yes you did
- [Keita]No I didn't
- You just could not know how long we tried
- To see how this building looks inside
- This must be a lucky day for me
- Because the sign says there's a vacancy
- Look I know you came a long way
- But you made it just too late
- So we had to give it to somebody else
- Well I talked to you on the phone less than fifteen minutes ago
- And you told me that it was cool
- I graduated from Howard U.
- My job is paying good money too
- And if you check on my resume
- You'll find they all wanted me to stay
- Well I can't take the time out
- To check your credit card
- ‘Cause the computer just broke down today
- Well I'll stop by here tomorrow to complete our interview
- But I know what you're gonna say
- I know what your bottomline is
- You might have the cash but you
- Can...not cash in your face
- We don't want you living in here
- Say you might have the cash but you
- Can...not cash in your face
- We don't want your kind living in here
- Too-oo, Too-oo too bad,
- Too-oo, too-oo too sad
- Our first child is due here any day
- That's why we're desperate for a place to stay
- The location is so perfect too
- So please try to do what you can do
- Well in this apartment complex no children are allowed
- And if you told me that I could have saved you alot of time
- Well I thought the Bill was passed that said you could not discriminate
- But I know some excuse you'll find
- Because your bottom line is
- You might have the cash but you
- Can...not cash in your face
- We don't want you living in here
- Say you might have the cash but you
- Can...not cash in your face
- We don't want your kind living in here
- Aye, you might be a great doctor
- You might be a great lawyer
- You might possess the key to the city
- Or maybe a politician
- You might have the cash but you
- Can...not cash in your face
- We don't want you living in here
- Say you might have the cash but you
- Can...not cash in your face
- We don't want your kind living in here
- Lately, I have had the strangest feeling
- With no vivid reason here to find
- Yet the thought of losing you's been hanging
- 'round my mind
- Far more frequently you're wearing perfume
- With you say no special place to go
- But when I ask will you be coming back soon
- You don't know, never know
- Well, I'm a man of many wishes
- Hope my premonition misses
- But what I really feel my eyes won't let me hide
- ‘Cause they always start to cry
- ‘Cause this time could mean goodbye
- Lately I've been staring in the mirror
- Very slowly picking me apart
- Trying to tell myself I have no reason
- with your heart
- Just the other night while you were sleeping
- I vaguely heard you whisper someone's name
- But when I ask you of the thoughts your keeping
- You just say nothing's changed
- Well, I'm a man of many wishes
- I hope my premonition misses
- But what I really feel my eyes won't let me hide
- ‘Cause they always start to cry
- ‘Cause this time could mean goodbye, goodbye
- Oh, I'm a man of many wishes
- I hope my premonition misses
- But what I really feel my eyes won't let me hide
- ‘Cause they always start to cry
- ‘Cause this time could mean goodbye
- You know it doesn't make much sense
- There ought to be a law against
- Anyone who takes offense
- At a day in your celebration
- Cause we all know in our minds
- That there ought to be a time
- That we can set aside
- To show just how much we love you
- And I'm sure you would agree
- It couldn't fit more perfectly
- Than to have a world party on the day you came to be
- Happy birthday to you
- Happy birthday to you
- Happy birthday
- Happy birthday to you
- Happy birthday to you
- Happy birthday
- I just never understood
- How a man who died for good
- Could not have a day that would
- Be set aside for his recognition
- Because it should never be
- Just because some cannot see
- The dream as clear as he
- that they should make it become an illusion
- And we all know everything
- That he stood for time will bring
- For in peace our hearts will sing
- Thanks to Martin Luther King
- Happy birthday to you
- Happy birthday to you
- Happy birthday
- Happy birthday to you
- Happy birthday to you
- Happy birthday
- Why has there never been a holiday
- Where peace is celebrated
- all throughout the world
- The time is overdue
- For people like me and you
- Who know the way to truth
- Is love and unity to all God's children
- It should never be a great event
- And the whole day should be spent
- In full remembrance
- Of those who lived and died for the oneness of all people
- So let us all begin
- We know that love can win
- Let it out don't hold it in
- Sing it loud as you can
- Happy birthday to you
- Happy birthday to you
- Happy birthday
- Happy birthday to you
- Happy birthday to you
- Happy birthday
- Happy birthday to you
- Happy birthday to you
- Happy birthday
- Happy birthday to you
- Happy birthday to you
- Happy birthday
- Happy birthday
- Happy birthday
- Happy birthday
- Ooh yeah
- Happy birthday...
- We know the key to unify all people
- Is in the dream that you had so long ago
- That lives in all of the hearts of people
- That believe in unity
- We'll make the dream become a reality
- I know we will
- Because our hearts tell us so
