Blue Water
Now a man ain't suppose to cry
But with all this pain
inside
All my eyes can see is blue water
No the world ain't suppose to be
Just a drowning sea
There's more for you and me than blue water
Yeah, let's make our morning bright
And I know we're bound
to see tomorrow clearly in our sight
Girl, take my hand, tell me you
understand
'Cause we don't need to stand in blue water
Now life is a one time trip
And we've got to build our ship
So we won't ever slip into blue water
All you got to do is let yourself go
Just let it over flow
'Cause that river in your soul is just blue water
Cover Me
Cover me, cover me
Spread your precious love all over me
Oh can't you see the need in me
Oh cover me, cover me
Hide me, hide me
Where no other love can find me
Oh I'm
feeling cold, I need you so
Oh cover me, cover me
Girl, my love for you gets stronger everyday
Oh, temptation
might be waiting round the way
When I'm lost and I get led astray
Find me,
find me
Can't stop the little tear that blinds me
Oh darling, I don't want
to lose you
Oh find me
Stay with me, stay with me
Baby, make it all the way with
me
Oh everyday and every way
Stay with me, stay with me
Cover me, cover me
Spread your precious love all over me
Oh can't you see the need in me
Oh cover me, cover me
If Loving You Is Wrong
If lovin' you is wrong, I don't want to be right
If being
right means being without you, I'd rather live a wrongdoing life
Your mama
and dad said, "It's a shame, it's a downright disgrace"
But long as I got you
by my side, I don't care what your people say.
Your friends tell you there's
no future in lovin' a married man.
If I can't see you when I want you, I'll
see you when I can
If lovin' you is wrong, I don't want to be right
If lovin'
you is wrong, I don't want to be right
Am I wrong to fall in love so deeply with you,
knowin' I
got a wife and two little children, depending on me too?
And am I wrong to
hunger for the gentleness of your touch,
Knowing I got someone else's home,
that needs me just as much?
Am I wrong to fall in love so deeply with you,
Knowin' I
got a wife and two little children, depending on me too?
And am I wrong to
hunger for the gentleness of your touch,
(Havin' got?) another loveless home
that needs me just as much?
I don't want to be right, if it means livin' without you
I
don't want to be right, if it means doin' without you
I don't want to be
right, if it means lovin' without you
I don't want to be right, if it means
sleepin' without you
Tell It Like It Is
If you want something to play with,
Go and find yourself a
toy.
Baby, my time is too expensive,
And I'm not a little boy.
If you are serious,
Don't play with my heart.
It makes
me furious,
But if want me to love you,
Then, a-baby, I will,
Girl, you
know I will.
Tell it like it is.
Don't be ashamed to let your
Conscience be your guide.
But, I-I-I-I know deep down inside of me,
I
believe you love me.
Forget your foolish pride.
Life is too short to have sorrow.
You may be here today and
gone tomorrow.
You might as well get what you want.
So, go on and live,
baby, go on and live.
Tell it like it is.
I'm nothin' to play with,
Go and
find yourself a toy.
But, I-I-I tell it like it is.
[Fade.]
My time is
too expensive.
And I'm not your little boy.
Mm mm, tell it like it is...
The Dark End Of The Street
At the dark end of the street
that is where we always meet
hiding in shadows where we don't belong
living in darkness, to hide alone
You and me, at the dark end of the street
You and me
I know a time has gonna take it's toll
we have to pay for
the love we stole
It's a sin and we know it's wrong
Oh, our love keeps
going on strong
Steal away to the dark end of the street
You and me
They gonna find us, they gonna find us
They gonna find us
love someday
You and me, at the dark end of the street
You and me
When the daylight all goes around
And by chance we're both
down the town
Please meet, just walk, walk on by
Oh, darling, please don't
you cry
You and me, at the dark end of the street
You and me
It Tears Me Up
I see you walk with him,
I see you talk to him,
It tears
me up
It tears me up
And start my eyes to cryin'
Oh, oh, I can't stop
cryin'
I see him kiss your lips,
And squeeze your fingertips,
It tears me up
It tears me up
I feel like I'm dyin'
Oh, oh, I must be
dyin'
It's a cold, cold world I'm livin' in
I turn my back and
there you are with my best friend
Oh sometimes we pass on the street darlin'
And you looked at me and you can say, "I'm sorry, my sweet"
Maybe just saying
I'm sorry would be enough
But then you'd look back at him, with your perfect
smile,
And that'd make me feel kind of rough.
Oh darlin It tears me up
I see you smile at him,
You'll never tire of him
It
tears me up.
It tears me up.
But there ain't nothin I can do now
Baby
can't you see I'm still in love with you
Oh, can't you see I'm still in love
with you, baby
Still waitin for something that I cannot have
Oh, baby,
nothin' tears me up so bad,
Can't you see that I'm still in love with you
baby
Oh, that tears me up so bad now baby
