Title
- You are the sunshine of my life
- That's why I'll always be around,
- You are the apple of my eye,
- Forever you'll stay in my heart
- I feel like this is the beginning,
- Though I've loved you for a million years,
- And if I thought our love was ending,
- I'd find myself drowning in my own tears
- You are the sunshine of my life,
- That's why I'll always stay around,
- You are the apple of my eye,
- Forever you'll stay in my heart
- You must have known that I was lonely,
- Because you came to my rescue,
- And I know that this must be heaven,
- How could so much love be inside of you?
- You are the sunshine of my life, yeah,
- That's why I'll always stay around,
- You are the apple of my eye,
- Forever you'll stay in my heart
- [Background]Love has joined us,
- Love has joined us,
- Let's think sweet love
- I'm feelin' down and some kind of lonely,
- Cause' my baby done left me here,
- Heart's blazing like a five alarm fire
- And I don't even give a care
- I feel like the world is turnin' on me,
- My dreams turnin' to ashes right in front of my face,
- And I'm gettin' kind of worried,
- And I feel so out of place,
- Maybe your baby done made some other plans,
- Maybe your baby done made some other plans
- [Background]. . I feel like cryin', yeh, yeh
- Maybe baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
- In the mornin' when I've got heartache,
- I can't call up the doctor for help,
- Cause' the only person that could ever do me any good,
- Is steppin' out with my best friend
- I feel like I'm slippin' deeper,
- Slippin' deeper into myself,
- And I can't take it,
- This stuff is scarin' me to death
- Maybe your baby done made some other plans,
- Kinda makin' me worried,
- Maybe your baby done made some other plans
- Little Sally Walker, sittin' in a saucer,
- Checkin' out the guys that are passing by
- [Background]...by, by, by, by...
- Maybe your baby done made some other plans
- Maybe your baby done made some other plans,
- Not includin' future plans,
- Maybe your baby done made some other plans,
- Maybe my baby done made some other plans,
- Maybe my baby done made another plan
- with another man.
- Your baby, your baby, stupid baby, your baby,
- That you put so trust so much trust in your baby,
- Maybe your baby done made some other plans
- Here we are on earth together,
- It's you and I,
- God has made us fall in love, it's true,
- I've really found someone like you
- Will it say the love you feel for me, will it say,
- That you will be by my side
- To see me through,
- Until my life is through
- Well, in my mind, we can conquer the world,
- In love you and I, you and I, you and I
- I am glad at least in my life I found someone
- That may not be here forever to see me through,
- But I found strength in you,
- I only pray that I have shown you a brighter day,
- Because that's all that I am living for, you see,
- Don't worry what happens to me
- Cause' in my mind, you will stay here always,
- In love, you and I, you and I, you and I, you and I
- In my mind we can conquer the world
- In love, you and I, you and I, you and I
- Tuesday heartbreak seem to be unfair,
- Cause you say that you found another man,
- Tuesday break heart, guess you just don't care,
- Cause you found you another man
- I want to be with you when you're all alone,
- I want to be with you
- when you feel you got another man,
- You see, baby, it's all alright
- I wanna be with you when the nightime comes,
- I wanna be with you when the daytime comes,
- I wanna stay, oh baby, lemme, baby with you
- Tuesday heartbreak seem to be a drag,
- When you know that you love her especially,
- Catch up baby, catch up with my dreams,
- Maybe than I can see you all the time
- But I wanna be with you when the nightime comes
- I wanna be with you when the daytime comes,
- I wanna stay and never go away,
- Oh baby, it's alright
- I wanna be with you when the nightime comes,
- I wanna stay with you till the morning runs,
- I wanna, baby, baby, baby, it's alright
- I wanna be with you when the nightime comes,
- I wanna be with you till the daytime comes
- Oh baby, get away, alright
- When you believe in a feeling,
- And it's holding you back from my love,
- Then you've got it bad girl, you've got it bad girl
- When you insist on excluding
- The tenderness that's in my kiss,
- Then you've got it bad girl, you've got it bad girl
- If you try to display an emotion,
- That will contradict itself,
- You will find your heart just sitting
- Like a statue on a shelf, on a shelf, on a shelf
- Should you depend on an outlet,
- Through which an escape can be found,
- Then you've got it bad girl, you've got it bad girl
- If you don't see there's no way out,
- Just no way of getting around me,
- Then you've got it bad girl, you've got it bad girl
- Yes, you know the plans I am making,
- Are intended to capture you,
- So you practice false reactions,
- To delay the things I do, the things I do,
- things I do, foolish you
- You've got it bad girl, you've got it bad
- There's no reward in detouring
- My deep sincerity.
- Especially since what you're feeling,
- Is perfectly clear to me, clear to me, clear to me
- Before you discover the feeling,
- You've tried very hard to hide,
- You've got it bad girl, you've got it bad girl
- But when you can find just a small space,
- To let my love live in your mind,
- Then you'll have it good girl, you'll
- have it good girl
- Very superstitious, writings on the wall,
- Very superstitious, ladders bout' to fall,
- Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin' glass
- Seven years of bad luck, the good things in your past
- When you believe in things that you don't understand,
- Then you suffer,
- Superstition ain't the way
- Very superstitious, wash your face and hands,
- Rid me of the problem, do all that you can,
- Keep me in a daydream, keep me goin' strong,
- You don't wanna save me, sad is my song
- When you believe in things that you don't understand,
- Then you suffer,
- Superstition ain't the way, yeh, yeh
- Very superstitious, nothin' more to say,
- Very superstitious, the devil's on his way,
- Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin' glass,
- Seven years of bad luck, good things in your past
- When you believe in things that you don't understand,
- Then you suffer, Superstition ain't the way, no, no, no
- Your name is big brother
- You say that you're watching me on the tele,
- Seeing me go nowhere,
- Your name is big brother,
- You say that you're tired of me protesting,
- Children dying everyday,
- My name is nobody
- But I can't wait to see your face inside my door
- Your name is big brother
- You say that you got me all in your notebook,
- Writing it down everyday,
- Your name is I'll see ya,
- I'll change if you vote me in as the pres,
- The President of your soul
- I live in the ghetto,
- You just come to visit me 'round election time
- I live in the ghetto,
- Someday I will move on my feet to the other side,
- My name is secluded,
- we live in a house the size of a matchbox,
- Roaches live with us wall to wall,
- You've killed all our leaders,
- I don't even have to do nothin' to you
- You'll cause your own country to fall
- Where has my love gone?
- How can I go on?
- It seems dear love has gone away
- Where is my spirit?
- I'm nowhere near it,
- Oh yes, my love has gone astray
- But I'll blame it on the sun,
- The sun that didn't shine,
- I'll blame it on the wind and the trees
- I'll blame it on the time that never was enough,
- I'll blame it on the tide and the sea,
- But, my heart blames it on me
- Who poured the love out?
- What made this bitter doubt?
- Is peace not here for me to see?
- Wish I could tell you,
- What I am feeling,
- But, words won't come for me to speak
- But I'll blame it on the sun,
- That didn't fill the sky,
- I'll blame it on the birds and the trees
- I'll blame it on the day that ended once too soon,
- I'll blame it on the nights that could not be,
- But, my heart blames it on me
- [Background]...Yeh, yeh, yeh, ooh,
- Your heart blames it on you this time
- Never tears or sorrows came before me in my mind,
- I had no problems, never a problem in my life,
- Never a worry on my mind
- All my days before today were happy,
- And secure until your phone call,
- You were tellin' me goodbye
- Now I'm lookin' for another love,
- I'm lookin' for another pure love in my life
- And I'm lookin' for another love,
- I'm lookin' for another pure love in my life
- Now the wheel of fate has turned,
- I'm worried 'bout the new love you've discovered,
- He is a problem in my life,
- I have a problem on my mind
- Things you cherish most in your life,
- Can be taken if they're left neglected,
- Leavin' a problem in your life
- 'Cause now I'm lookin' for another love,
- I'm lookin' for another pure love in my life, ooh,
- And now I'm lookin' for another love,
- And now I'm lookin' for another love,
- I'm lookin' for another pure love in my life, ooh,
- I'm lookin' for another love,
- I'm lookin for another pure love in my life
- Shattered dreams, worthless years,
- Here am I encased inside a hollow shell,
- Life began, then was done,
- Now I stare into a cold and empty well
- The many sounds that meet our ears
- the sights our eyes behold,
- Will open up our merging hearts,
- And feed our empty souls
- I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever,
- I believe when I fall in love this time it will be forever
- Without despair we will share,
- And the joys of caring will not be replaced,
- What has been must never end
- And with the strength we have won't be erased
- When the truths of love are planted firm,
- They won't be hard to find,
- And the words of love I speak to you
- will echo in your mind
- I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever,
- I believe when I fall in love this time it will be forever
- I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever,
- I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever
- I'm so glad that I found someone to believe in again,
- I'm so glad that I found someone to believe in again
- God surely answered my prayer,
- God surely answered by prayer,
- You know God surely answered my prayer,
- You know God surely answered my prayer,
- God always will answer your prayers,
- Believe in one who will answer my prayer,
- Thank you God
- Come on, let's fall in love,
- You're the woman I've been waiting for,
- Come on, let's fall in love,
- You're the girl that I really adore,
- Come on, let's fall in love...[etc]
