lady soul

i never loved a man...

respect

say a little prayer

think

a natural woman

chain of fools

do right man

drown in my own tears


a natural woman

Looking out on the morning rain
I used to feel so uninspired
And when I knew I had to face another day
Lord, it made me feel so tired
Before the day I met you, life was so unkind
But your love was the key to peace my mind

Cause you make me feel, you make me feel , you make me feel like
A natural woman

When my soul was in the lost-and-found
You came along to claim it
I didn't know just what was wrong with me
Till your kiss helped me name it
Now I'm no longer doubtful of what I'm living for
Cause if I make you happy I don't need no more

Cause you make me feel, you make me feel , you make me feel like
A natural woman

Oh, baby, what you've done to me
You make me feel so good inside
And I just want to be close to you
You make me feel so alive
Cause you make me feel, you make me feel , you make me feel like
A natural woman

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


chain of fools


Chain, chain, chain, chain, chain, chain
Chain, chain, chain, chain of fools
Five long years I thought you were my man
But I found out I'm just a link in your chain
You got me where you want me
I ain't nothing but your fool
You treated me mean oh you treated me cruel
Chain, chain, chain, chain of fools

Every chain has got a weak link
I might be weak child, but I'll give you strength
You told me to leave you alone
My father said come on home
My doctor said take it easy
Whole bunch of lovin is much too strong
I'm added to your chain, chain, chain
Chain, chain, chain, chain,
Chain, chain of fools

One of these mornings the chain is gonna break
But up until then, yeah, I'm gonna take all I can take
Chain, chain, chain, chain, chain, chain
Chain, chain, chain, chain of fools

do right man

Take me to heart
And I'll always love you
And nobody can make me do wrong
Take me for granted
Leaving love unshown
Makes will power weak
And temptation strong

A woman's only human
You should understand
She's not just a plaything
She's flesh and blood
Just like her man

If you want a do right
All days woman
You've gotta be a do right
All night man

Yeah, yeah
They say that it's a man's world
But you can't prove that by me
And as long as we're together baby
Show some respect for me

If you want a do right
All days woman
You've gotta be a do right
All night man

A woman's only human
This you should understand
She's not just a plaything
She's flesh and blood
Just like her man

If you want a do right
All days woman
You've gotta be a do right
All nights man
You've gotta be a do right
All nights man

 

 


 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


drown in my own tears

It brings big tear into my eyes
When I began, when I began to realize
I"ve cried so much since you've been gone
I guess I'll drown in my own tears

I've been crying just like a child
These tears of mine
These tears are running wild
And if you don't think
If you don't think
That you'll be home soon
Baby, I'm gonna drown
Oh yeah, in my own tears

Here without you(You)
I get so lonely and I sure get blue(Blue)
Yes I do
It seems to keep raining, raining(Raining)
And raining more and more
And more and more(More end more end more)
Oh here without you, baby
I sure get lonely and I get so blue
And every time I look around
It's raining more and more
And more and more and more

Oh why can't you, why can't you(You)
Why can't you come on home(You come on home)
Because I don't wanna be
I don't want to be here all alone
Listen, if you don't think(If you don't)
If you don't think
That you're coming home soon(You don't think)
Like this evening
I believe I'm gonna drown this morning(Drown)
I tell you that I'm gonna drown(Drown)
Gonna drown this evening(Drown)
And oh it sure gonna get bad(Drown)
In the midnight hour
Don't let him let me(Drown)
Don't let him let me(Drown)
Don't let him let me(Drown)
Don't let him let me(Drown)
Drown in my own tears(Drown in my own)
I don't wanna drown in my tears(Drown)
Oh I'm gonna drown
Yeah, in my, oh in my own tears(Tears, tears, tears, tears)
Tears, my tears, tears
Oh don't let him do it
Don't let him do it
I don't wanna drown in my own tears



 

 

 

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


I never loved a man...

 

You're no good, heart breaker,
You're a liar and a cheat
And I don't know why
I let you do these things to me.
My friends keep telling me
that you ain't no good
But oh, they don't know that
I'd leave you if I could.

I guess I'm uptight and

I'm stuck like glue
Cause I ain't never, I ain't never,
I ain't never, no, no,
loved a man the way that I love you.

Some time ago I thought
you'd run out of fools.
But I was so wrong,
you gotta one you'll never lose.


The way you treat me it's a shame
how could you hurt me so bad?
Baby, you know I'm the best thing,
that you ever had.

Kiss me once again
don't ya never, never say that we're through
Cause I ain't never, never, never, no, no
Loved a man, the way that I, I love you

I can't sleep at night and I can't eat a bite
I guess I'll never be free
Since you got your hooks in me
Whoa, whoa, whoa

You're a liar, you're a liar
I ain't never loved a man
I ain't never loved a man, baby
Ain't never had a man that hurt me so bad
No, cause that's just what I'm gonna do about it
I tell ya I'm gonna, oh yea...

say a little prayer

The moment I wake up
Before I put on my makeup
I say a little prayer for you
While combing my hair, now,
And wondering what dress to wear, now,
I say a little prayer for you

Forever, forever, you'll stay in my heart
and I will love you
Forever, forever, we never will part
Oh, how I'll love you
Together, together, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only be heartbreak for me.

I run for the bus, dear,
While riding I think of us, dear,
I say a little prayer for you.
At work I just take time
And all through my coffee break-time,
I say a little prayer for you.

Forever, forever, you'll stay in my heart
and I will love you
Forever, forever we never will part
Oh, how I'll love you
Together, together, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only be heartbreak for me.

My darling believe me,
For me there is no one
But you.

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



think

You better think (think)
Think about what you're tryin' to do to me
Think (think think)
Let your mind go, let yourself be free

Let's go back, let's go back, let's go way, all way back when
I didn't even know you, you couldn't 'o been too much more than 10
I ain't no psychiatrist, I ain't no doctor with degrees
But it don't take too much high IQ to see what you're doin' to me

You better think (think)
Think about what you're trying to do to me
Yeah, think (think, think)
Let your mind go, let yourself be free

Here goes freedom (freedom), said some freedom (freedom)
Oh freedom, yeah freedom
Right now freedom (freedom), oh freedom (freedom)
Peace and freedom, oh freedom - alright now
Hey - think about it - you - think about it

There ain't nothing you could ask
I could answer you what I want (I want)
But I was gonna change, so I'm not
If you keep doing things I don't

You better think (think)
Think about what you're tryin' to do to me
Oh, think (think)
Let your mind go, let yourself be free

People walkin' 'round everyday
Playin' games and takin' scores
Tryin' to make other people lose their minds
Well be careful you don't lose yours

Oh, think (think)
Think about what you're trying to do to me
Ooh, think (think, think)
Let your mind go, let yourself be free

You need me (need me) and I need you (don't you know)
Without each other there ain't nothing we could do
Oh yeah, think about it baby - what you're tryin' to do to me
Right on, baby, think it about it right now
Yeah, right now - ooh ....
