Nowhere To Run

Nowhere to run to, baby
Nowhere to hide
Got nowhere to run to, baby
Nowhere to hide
It's not love
I'm running from
It's the heartaches
That I know will come
'Cause I know
You're no good for me
But you`ve become
A part of me
Everywhere I go
Your face I see
Every step I take
You take with me, yeah
Nowhere to run to, baby
Nowhere to hide
Got nowhere to run to, baby
Nowhere to hide
I know you're
No good for me
But free of you
I'll never be, no
Each night as I sleep
Into my heart you creep
I wake up feeling sorry I met you
Hoping soon that I'll forget you
When I look in the mirror
And comb my hair
I see your face
Just a-smiling there
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Got nowhere to run to, baby
Nowhere to hide
I know you're
No good for me
But you've become
A part of me
How can I fight a lover
That's sugar sweet
When it's so deep, so deep
Deep inside of me
My love reaches so high
I can't get over it
It's so wide
I can't get around it, no
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
From you, baby
Just can't get away
No matter how I try
I know you're no good for me
But free of you I'll never be
Nowhere to run to, baby
Nowhere to hide
Got nowhere to run to, baby
Nowhere to hide
Got nowhere to run
Got nowhere to run

Come And Get These Memories

Lover you've gone from me
And left behind so many memories
Here's your old friendship ring
I can't wear it no more
Here's your old love letters
I can't read them any more
Lover you've gone from me
And left behind so many memories
Here's that old teddy bear
That you won from me at the state
Here's some old valentine cards
Give it to your new sweetheart
Lover you've gone from me
And left behind so many memories
Come and get em, come and get em
Here's our old favorite record
I can't stand to hear it anymore
Here's some old lingering love
Its in my heart and its tearing it apart
Because of these memories
I never think of anybody but you
So, come on and get 'em
'Cause I found somebody new
Come and get these memories
Since you've gone out of my life
Come and get these memories
Since you've gone out of my life
Come and get these memories
Since you've gone out of my life
Come and get these memories
Since you've gone out of my life

Dancing In The Street

Callin' out around the world
Are you ready for a brand new beat?
Summer's here and the time is right
For dancin' in the street
There dancin' in Chicago
Down in New Orleans
In New York City
All we need is music sweet music
They'll be music everywhere
They'll be swingin' and swayin' and records playin'
Dancin' a in the street
Aw, it doesn't matter what you wear
Just as long as you are there
So come on every guy
Grab a girl, everywhere around the world
We'll be dancin'
We're dancin in the street
This is an invitation across the nation
A chance for folks to meet
They'll be laughin', singin' and music swingin'
We're dancin' in the street
Philadelphia, P.A.
Baltimore and D.C. now
Can't forget the Motor City
All we need is music
Sweet sweet sweet music
They'll be music everwhere
They'll be swingin' and swayin'
And records playin'
Dancin' in the street
Aw, it doesn't matter what you wear
Just as long as you are there
So come on every guy, grab a girl
Everywhere around the world
We're dancin', we're dancin' in the street

Way down in L.A. everyday
We're dancin' in the street
Let's form a big strong line
Get in time we're dancin' in the street

Heat Wave

Whenever I'm with him
Something inside
Starts to burnin'
And I'm filled with desire
Could it be the devil in me
Or is this the way love's supposed to be
Just like a heatwave
Burning in my heart
Can't keep from cryin'
It's tearing me apart
Whenever he calls my name
So slow, sweet and plain
I feel, yeah, yeah, well I feel that burning flame
Has my blood pressure got a hold on me
Or is this the way love's supposed to be
Just like a heatwave
Burning in my heart
Can't keep from cryin'
It's tearing me apart
Sometimes I stare in space
Tears all over my face
I can't explain it, don't understand it
I 'ain't never felt like this before
But that doesn't mean it has me amazed
I don't know what to do, my head's in a haze
Just like a heatwave
Burning in my heart
Can't keep from cryin'
It's tearing me apart
Don't pass up this chance
This time it's a true romance
Heatwave

Jimmy Mack

Jimmy, Jimmy, oh Jimmy Mack, when are you coming back?
Jimmy, Jimmy, oh Jimmy Mack, when are you coming back?
My arms are missing you, my lips feel the same way too
I tried so hard to be true, like I promised I'd do
But this boy keeps coming around, he's trying to wear my resistance down

Hey Jimmy, Jimmy, oh Jimmy Mack, when are you coming back
Jimmy, Jimmy, oh Jimmy Mack, when are you coming back
He calls me on the phone, about three times a day
Now my heart's just listening to what he has to say
But this loneliness that I have within keeps reaching out to be his friend

Need your loving, need your loving
I wanna say, I'm not getting any stronger, I can't hold out very much longer
Trying hard to be true, but Jimmy, he talks just as sweet as you

Need your loving, need your loving
Need your loving, need your loving...
Jimmy, Jimmy, oh Jimmy Mack, when are you coming back

Quicksand

You're like quicksand, quicksand
Pulling me closer, closer
In your arms
Can't resist your loving charms
You're like quicksand
Sinking me deeper
In love with you

The more I fight it,
The deeper in love I get
Each time you hold me,
I feel nothing but happiness
It's not safe loving you this way
But from your arms, I can't stay

You're like quicksand, quicksand, yeah,
Pulling me closer, closer,
Making me love you,
Need you
Sinking me deeper, deeper
In love with you
Oooooh-oooooh
Deeper, deeper, deeper
In love with you

My heart is a prisoner
Of your warm embrace
I can't help, can't help myself
Nothing can take your place
When you say sweet things to me,
I start trembling from head to feet

You're like quicksand, quicksand, yeah
Pulling me closer, closer
I just can't resist you
I just want to kiss you
You're like quicksand, yeah

Quicksand, quicksand
Quicksand, pulling me closer
Quicksand, quicksand
Quicksand, pulling me closer
Deeper, deeper
Deeper, deeper in love with you
Deeper, deeper
Deeper, deeper in love with you
