letra de For Once in My Life
For once in my life I have someone who needs me

Someone I've needed so long

For once, unafraid, I can go where life leads me

And somehow I know I'll be strong

For once I can touch what my heart used to dream of

Long before I knew

Someone warm like you

Would make my dreams come true

For once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me

Not like it's hurt me before

For once, I have something I know won't desert me

I'm not alone anymore

For once, I can say, this is mine, you can't take it

As long as I know I have love, I can make it

For once in my life, I have someone who needs me

Oh baby

For once in my life

For once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me

Not like it's hurt me before

For once, I have something I know won't desert me

I'm not alone anymore

For once, I can say, this is mine, you can't take it

As long as I know I have love, I can make it

For once in my life, I have someone who need me

For once in my life

Somebody that needs me

Ooh, baby

For once in my life

letra de Shoo-Be-Doo-Be-Doo-Da-Day
Your precious sweetheart, she's so faithful, she's so true, oh yeah,

Her dreams are tumblin', her world is crumblin' because of you, uhh uh.

One day you'll hurt her just once too much,

And when you finally lose your tender touch, hey, hey,

Shoo-Be-Doo-Be-Doo- Be-Doo-Da-Day

Her feet may wander, her heart may stray, oh yeah,

Shoo-Be-Doo-Be-Doo- Be-Doo-Da-Dee.

You gonna send your baby straight to me,

I'm gonna give her all the lovin' within my heart, oh yeah,

I'm gonna patch up every single little dream you tore apart, understand me?

And when she tells you she's cried her last tear,

Heaven knows I'm gonna be somewhere near, oh yeah,

Shoo-Be-Doo-Be-Doo- Be-Doo-Da-Day

Her feet may wander, her heart may stray, baby,

Shoo-Be-Doo-Be-Doo- Be-Doo-Da-Dee.

Love's gon' send your baby straight to me, yeah, hum, yeah,

You'd better listen to me, yeah, yeah.

Heartaches are callin' tears are fallin' because of you, hey, yeah,

And when you're gone she'll know I'm the one to go to her rescue

Baby you didn't know that thing.

You're gonna leave her once too many times and when you come back

That girl's gonna be mine, all mine, hey, hey.

Shoo-Be-Doo-Be-Doo- Be-Doo-Da-Day

Her feet may wander, her heart may stray, yeah, yeah

Shoo-Be-Doo-Be-Doo- Be-Doo-Da-Dee.

Love's gon' send your baby straight to me, hey, hey.

letra de You Met Your Match
Hey you were good at playing the fox girl
When I was good you threw me a bone
But I ain't playing hot for nobody
Girl just you wait 'til I get you home
I'll show you the way to love somebody
Like you've never ever been shown before

Cause my love light's burning
My whole life's yearning for you
Hey Baby you were playing the part with Jimmy and Freddie
You tried to make me look like a fool
But I took care of Cindy and Susie
Just to show you I can be twice as cool Baby

If you want to learn how to love me
I'll teach you in my own private school
Cause my love love lights burning
My whole life's yearning for you

You met you your match
When you play with my affection
You met you your match
When you tried to make me walk the line
When you decided you would hurt me
That's when your grape feel off the vine

Your mama told me that I better be mellow
She said you're just a baby maybe too green
I told her Jimmy, Freddie, Teddy and Victor
They know better
Mama shake off that dream
I told her that you were really cooking
My love is burning for a turn at the steam

Hey, cause
My love light's burning
My whole life's yearning for you
You met your match
When you told me you loved me
You met your match
When you told me that you wouldn't let go

You met your match [X7]
Baby
You met your match [X7]
Baby

You met your match in me..

letra de I Wanna Make Her Love Me
Hey!

I wanna make her love me till the rock ain't stone

And I wanna make her love me till the cows come home

And I wanna make her love me till the fire don't burn

And I wanna make her love me till the world cease to turn

Oh papa, I'm like a little lost lamb

Reaching for a girl that's out of reach

Ah, sit right down and talk to me man to man

Tell me how to practice what you used to preach

Oh, papa used to tell me that a man could do

Anything he ever put his heart into

But I wanna make her love me till them seas run dry

And I wanna make her love me till money can't buy

I wanna make her love me till the fifth week in May

And I wanna make her love me till Ol' Man River runs away

Oh, she's a ditty and as pretty as Mona Lisa

Papa's rich and her mama's proud

I worked three jobs tryin' to get what might please her

But still she lives in a world where I ain't allowed

Ah papa, you used to tell me it might take a little sweat

But when a man wakes up he sure enough will get

I wanna make her love me till the kingdom come

I wanna make her love me till the cows come home

I gonna make her love me till right is wrong

Ah Hey, yeah Hey

Ah, I can't compete with Baby Face Pete

And I ain't no match for Lou

He gave her a diamond, a diamond ring the other week

And all I can give her is a heart so true

Oh, papa used to say a true heart will reign

What a true heart desires it sure enough will gain

But I wanna make her love me till the rock ain't stone

I wanna make her love me till the cows come home

I gonna make her love me till it snows in June

Hey, hey, save on my baby, yeah, yeah, yeah

letra de Sunny
Sunny, yesterday my life was filled with rain.

Sunny, you smiled at me and really eased the pain.

Oh, the dark days are done and the bright days are here,

My sunny one shines so sincere.

Oh, Sunny one so true, I love you.

Sunny, thank you for the sunshine bouquet.

Sunny, thank you for the love you brought my way.

You gave to me your all and all,

Now I feel ten feet tall.

Oh, Sunny one so true, I love you.

Sunny, thank you for the truth you've let me see.

Sunny, thank you for the facts from A to Z.

My life was torn like a windblown sand,

Then a rock was formed when we held hands.

Sunny one so true, I love you.

Sunny, thank you for that smile upon your face.

Sunny, thank you for that gleam that flows with grace.

You're my spark of nature's fire,

You're my sweet complete desire.

Sunny one so true, I love you.

letra de God Bless the Child
Them that's got shall get

Them that's not shall lose

So the Bible said and it still is news

Mama may have, papa may have

But God bless the child that's got his own

That's got his own

Yes, the strong gets more

While the weak ones fade

Empty pockets don't ever make the grade

Mama may have, papa may have

But God bless the child that's got his own

That's got his own

Money, you've got lots of friends

Crowding round the door

When you're gone, spending ends

They don't come no more

Rich relations give

Crust of bread and such

You can help yourself

But don't take too much

Mama may have, papa may have

But God bless the child that's got his own

That's got his own

Mama may have, papa may have

But God bless the child that's got his own

That's got his own

He just worry 'bout nothin'

Cause he's got his own

letra de The House on the Hill
See that house, that house up on the hill

Let me tell you that's where my little darlin' live

Come late tonight I'll have a handful of rocks

And I know arm strength is strong enough

To make one hit the top

And if I do she'll come running out that room

(She'll come running out there)

She's gonna know that it is me, me, me, me

That's our signal, can't you see? Oh yeah, oh yeah

Oh what joy that house holds for me

That's why I stand here all night throwing rocks,

Can't you see?

Tryin' to get the attention of the girl I love

So she can be here with me under the stars above

And when I do

(When I do, when I do)

She'll come runnin' out that room

(She'll come runnin' out)

She's gonna know that it's Stevie, Stevie,

Stevie, St-St-Stevie

That's our signal, can't you see?

Oh yeah, hey hey hey

And I can see that girl runnin' down the hill

Me runnin' out to meet her, oh what a thrill

(When I see her face, moonlight in her hair)

When I see her face, moonlight in her hair

My heart beats fast because she's in my arms at last

Hey hey hey hey!

Y'all gotta see

(Y'all gotta see)

See that house, see that house up on the hill

(House up on the hill)

There's gonna be a wedding there, oh yes there will

(Oh yes there will, yeah baby)

This old arm of mine won't have to throw no more rocks

Because I'll have my cookie here with me all around the clock

(Have my cookie here)

And when I do we'll have happiness I bet you

She's gonna belong to me, me, me, me

We'll have a life of ecstasy, oh yeah, oh yeah

Just us two up on the hill

Everything's gonna be alright

Oh yeah yeah yeah

Everything's gonna be outta sight up there on the hill

Lovin', good lovin', sweet lovin', every single night
