"keep onnnnn push-in'!"
Nothing to do with nothing, but Bobby Womack sure did love the phrase "toil & strife" - it turns up in at least two of his biggest hits...
Uncanny, i was listening to this with the kids today.
lol - I aim to please!
Darling, you know I'd never put you down
True, her and me were at the party as guests
There's nothing else to say about whom I love best
Should I start a false fight? No, no, that wouldn't do!
It wouldn't be right. No, no, that wouldn't do!
Should I just run away? No, no, that wouldn't do!
I've got to find a way to say...it's all over, now
Feelin' sad like so many of us do
Hum a little soul
Make life your goal
And surely something's got to come to you
for serious.
Is playing tricks on every young girl
To have one is how they get their kicks
But not me, because I know their tricks
And they're wrong to think I would be caught by the wink of an eye
Mama didn't lie
that's got a whole lotta class
because class in a woman
don't mean she's gonna last
I need the kind of woman
that when I hold she fits so tight
and when she throws it on me
I give in without a fight
then I know
Afraid somewhere there must
Be someone more of a man than me
For me to go second class
We've survived a hard blow and I want you to know
That you'll face us at last
who told you to love your black preacher
would you respect your brother's woman friend
and share with black folks not of kin?
I must behave myself
For somebody else
Who may have a little fame, fortune or wealth
is gonna help the world be free
we're gonna move at a steady pace
you better know we're on their case
Famliar face of creed and race - a brother
But to my surprise, I find a man corrupt
Although he'd be my brother, he wants to hold me up
automatically, you're on your way
are you ready? (are you ready?)
you get yours 'cause i got mine
for the monkey time!
(you need a big strong line)
not even second best
and do not obey
you must have your say
Just out of Monday
Run into a friend
Down the street, down the street
Where I live
Sad things begin
I could feel from within
From the message
From the message
He had to give
About a buddy of mine
Running out of time
His life's running out of time
Somebody past noon
Shot across the room
And now the man no longer lives
Too bad about him
Too sad about him
Don't get me wrong
The man is gone
But it's a wonder he lived this long
Up in the city they called him Boss Jack
But down home he was a alley cat
Didn't care nothing about being black
Billy Jack
Can't be no fun
Can't be no fun
To be shot, shot with a hand gun
Body sprawled out, you without a doubt
Running people out, there on the floor
Bad bloody bloody mess
Shot all up in his chest
Shot all up in his chest
One sided duel, gun and a fool
What a way to go
Up in the city they called him Boss Jack
But down home he was a alley cat
Didn't care nothin' bout being Black
Billy Jack
Though you and I were pretty close
I'm calling it quits, girl
'Cause it was you I really dug the most
It's bad that you shot me down
With all the fellas hanging around
PLEASE DON'T GO - that's what they'll be saying
PLEASE DON'T GO - but I'm not playing
'Cause nothing can stop me
From folk school an' I'll never will
But this love for me give meaning
I know from the well I'll never fear
A little love and the right behaviour
Make you a winner everytime
Called on the lord an you got 'n answer
He say woman's love just ease my mind
From folk school an' I'll never will
But this love for me give meaning
I know from the well I'll never fear
A little love and the right behaviour
Make you a winner everytime
Called on the lord an you got 'n answer
He say woman's love just ease my mind
