list them, link them or spell them out - please, let's try to get back on trackUptown - Little Eva (C King)He gets up each morning and he goes downtown Where everyone's his boss and he's lost in an angry land He's a little mad But then, he comes uptown each evening to my tenement Uptown, where folks don't have to pay much rent And when he's there with me, he can see he's everything Then he's tall, he don't crawl, he's a king Downtown, he's just one of a million guys He don't get no breaks and he takes all they got to give Cause he's got to live But then he comes uptown where he can hold his head high Uptown, he knows that I'll be standing by And when I take his hand, there's no man who could put him down The world is sweet, it's at his feet when he's uptown Let me tell ya now Uptown, where he can hold his head high Uptown, he knows that I'll be standing by And when I take his hand, there's no man who could put him down The world is sweet, it's at his feet when he's uptown Let me tell you now Uptown

    Baby, I'm For Real - The Originals

    Baby, baby, you don't understand
    How much I love you, baby
    And how much I want to be
    Your only man, oh, baby

    Baby, baby, baby, you don't have to go
    Stay a little while longer, baby
    I want to talk to you
    Just a little more

    I see the tears in your eyes about to fall
    You are wondering if I'm for real
    But if you cry, wonder why you cry
    I'll tell you no lie, this is how I feel

    Baby, I'm for real

    But if you want to know the truth about it
    Girl, I just can't live without you
    And that's why I'm professin' my love to you
    So that I can live my whole life with you

    Baby, baby, baby
    Never, never, never, never

    If You Don't (Love Me, Tell Me So)
    by Barbara Mason

    If you really love me, baby
    Like you say you do
    Why don't you tell me so
    If you really do

    And if you really need me, baby
    Like you say you do
    Why don't you let me know
    If you really do

    I really love you
    Honest, I do

    If you believe in me
    If you believe in me
    If you don't, if you don't
    If you don't
    Why don't you tell me so
    (Tell me so, tell me so)

    I'm gonna love you
    Until my dying day
    If you don't believe me
    Why don't you say

    I hope that some day
    You know that I've been true
    And if you don't believe me
    What should I do


    If you believe in me
    If you believe in me
    If you don't, if you don't
    If you don't

    Why don't you tell me so
    (Tell me so)
    Why don't you let me know
    (Let me know)

    I really love you
    You know that I need you

    If you believe in me
    If you believe in me
    If you don't, if you don't
    If you don't

    Why don't you tell me so
    (Tell me so)
    Why don't you let me know
    (Let me know)

    I really love you
    You know that I need you
    I really want you
    You know that I need you

    I really want you
    I really love you....

    When I'm alone in my room sometimes I stare at the wall
    and in the back of my mind I hear my conscience call
    Telling me I need a girl who's as sweet as a dove
    for the first time in my life, I see I need love
    There I was giggling about the games
    that I had played with many hearts, and I'm not saying no names
    Then the thought occured, tear drops made my eyes burn
    as I said to myself look what you've done to her
    I can feel it inside, I can't explain how it feels
    all I know is that I'll never dish another raw deal
    Playing make believe pretending that I'm true
    holding in my laugh as I say that I love you
    Saying amor kissing you on the ear
    whispering I love you and I'll always be here
    Although I often reminsce I can't believe that I found
    a desire for true love floating around
    Inside my soul because my soul is cold
    one half of me deserves to be this way till I'm old
    But the other half needs affection and joy
    and the warmth that is created by a girl and a boy
    I need love
    I need love

    Romance sheer delight how sweet
    I gotta find me a girl to make my life complete
    You can scratch my back, we'll get cozy and huddle
    I'll lay down my jacket so you can walk over a puddle
    I'll give you a rose, pull out your chair before we eat
    kiss you on the cheek and say ooh girl you're so sweet
    It's deja vu whenever I'm with you
    I could go on forever telling you what I do
    But where you at you're neither here or there
    I swear I can't find you anywhere
    Damn sure you ain't in my closet, or under my rug
    this love search is really making me bug
    And if you know who you are why don't you make yourself seen
    take the chance with my love and you'll find out what I mean
    Fantasy's can run but they can't hide
    and when I find you I'm gon' pour all my love inside
    I need love
    I need love

    I wanna kiss you hold you never scold you just love you
    suck on you neck, caress you and rub you
    Grind moan and never be alone
    if you're not standing next to me you're on the phone
    Can't you hear it in my voice, I need love bad
    I've got money but love's something I've never had
    I need your ruby red lips sweet face and all
    I love you more than a man who's 10 feet tall
    I'd watch the sunrise in your eyes
    we're so in love when we hug we become paralyzed
    Our bodies explode in ecstasy unreal
    you're as soft as a pillow and I'm as hard as steel
    It's like a dream land, I can't lie I never been there
    maybe this is an experience that me and you can share
    Clean and unsoiled yet sweaty and wet
    I swear to you this is something that I'll never forget
    I need love
    I need love

    See what I mean I've changed I'm no longer
    a play boy on the run I need something that's stronger
    Friendship, trust honor respect admiration
    this whole experience has been such a revelation
    It's taught me love and how to be a real man
    to always be considerate and do all I can
    Protect you you're my lady and you mean so much
    my body tingles all over from the slightest touch
    Of your hand and understand I'll be frozen in time
    till we meet face to face and you tell me you're mine
    If I find you girl I swear I'll be a good man
    I'm not gonna leave it in destiny's hands
    I can't sit and wait for my princess to arrive
    I gotta struggle and fight to keep my dream alive
    I'll search the whole world for that special girl
    when I finally find you watch our love unfurl
    I need love
    I need love

    Girl, listen to me
    When I be sittin in my room all alone, staring at the wall
    fantasies, they go through my mind
    And I've come to realize that I need true love
    and if you wanna give it to me girl make yourself seen
    I'll be waiting
    I love you

    This says it all. Terry Callier is a Frickin' genius.

    These are sad times
    Your eyes have told me so
    Blue and black times
    You think that I don't know
    But there'll be glad times
    Just you wait and see
    And I'll be your sunrise if you'll lean on me

    I imagine that I could comfort you
    I have forgotten the things that you've been through
    But here's one thing
    On which we can agree
    When you're ailing darlin' you can lean on me

    And the love I bring
    Will grow into a lasting thing
    Put your heart on wings
    That set you free
    And as you rise
    Up into the clearing skies
    Maybe you will realize
    You can lean on me

    All your heartaches
    Are hidden deep inside
    So there's no telling
    How many tears you've cried
    But like the river
    Told the weeping willow tree
    I can hold all your tear drops
    Try, lean on me
