CHORUS:
What's the use in breakin' up
When you just turn around & make up?
Oh you say you're tired & you're uninspired
& you wanna leave me, oh baby
The last time you felt that way
Girl, you left me for a whole day
Then you called me on the telephone (hey baby)
In your sweet & your softest tone (hey baby)
Askin' me "What should we do?"
When you know all the time that I'm crazy about you
(chorus x2)
We had the same conversation
Well it couldn't have been more than a week ago
I said "Darlin', you're breakin' my heart
& I don't see how I can take much more"
I got up & walked out of the door (hey baby)
Walked on down to the corner store (hey baby)
& by the time what I said took in
I turned right around & came back again
(chorus x2)
Girl, I guess we do it 'cause it's such a groove (hey baby)
To find somethin' that you need to use (hey baby)
Oh baby, I love you, I swear
& ain't neither one of us goin' nowhere
(chorus x2)
You know that you & I both started
& if we break up we will be broken hearted
Let on I've always loved you
& I think the whole world of you
...& fade
I Wanna Do It To You
(Jerry Butler/Talbert/Henley)
CHORUS (x2):
Oh baby, I wanna do it to you
Like you did it to me, did it to me
I wanna do it to you
I'm happy that you spent some time with me
You were water to my thirsty heart
& I drank my spirt free
You were the only one who lifted me
You put my feet on high ground
Just havin' you around is so heavenly
Bridge:
I'm excited as can be
'Cause I've found a lover who's in my corner
& ever since you said you loved me
Girl, I feel so real, I feel so free
(chorus)
I'm thankful that you took the time to be here
A real part of my dreams, that tube which I cling
You're part of me
(repeat bridge)
Oh baby, I wanna do it to you
I wanna make you feel good, just the way do
I wanna make you feel like, like you're 10 feet tall
& everything I have to give for as long as I live
You can have it all
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby I wanna do it to you
Like you did it to me, did it to me
I wanna do it to you
You see, you are the only one who tried to understand
All my ups & my downs, all my smiles & my frowns
I'm so glad you're mine
...& fade
Chalk it up to experience
Chalk it up, call it education
(instrumental, with scat singing such as "well's" and "hey's")
(x2):
Chalk it up to experience
Chalk it up, call it education
Say you meet this man who takes your hand
& sweetly calls your name
Those tender eyes, the things he buys
They're all part of his game
& everybody's satisfied his love is good to lose
But soon he's gone & you're alone; there'll be another for you
Chalk it up to experience
Chalk it up, call it education
Stick it in, yeah, to your memory, baby
Write it down, but don't let it worry you, lady
Oh you live & learn & take your turn
& grow from day to day
Well you're much too young to get hung
Because he didn't stay
The times you had, so don't feel bad
'Cause your love didn't last
Soon you'll find a brand new love
This moment will be in your past
Chalk it up to experience
Chalk it up, call it education
Write it down in your little book, baby
Chalk it up, don't let it get you down, baby
(spoken):
Listen. I know how you feel. Yeah, we all get down.
Every now & then we run into that special somebody who we think
is gonna be there for time & memorial.
But common sense'll tell you that ain't right.
But you know, the good thing about it is that
There's always some love around
I mean there's always somebody for everybody
All you gotta do is to, you know, just keep yourself together
Get on out there & start healin'
Let the world know that you're carefree & you wanna live!
Hey, somebody else out there can dig that!
You know I mean, really, you're much too fine & healthy
To let one guy mess up your mind
Chalk it up to experience
Chalk it up, call it education
Write it down as just a love affair, baby
Hey chalk it up
...& fade
The Devil In Mrs. Jones
(Smith/Ellis/McEastland)
Now & then when friends drop in
They say I've changed my bag to their surprise, yes I have
You know they call the priest to pray for me
They say my woman's Satan in disguise, yeah they do
Yeah, but an exorcist can't resist her kiss
Eternal & I bet you
That you'd believe in the spell she weaved
Like I do if she met you
& if this love Jones is a curse
Then I'm ready for the worst
The devil in Mrs. Jones makes me wanna raise a little hell in the home
The devil in Mrs. Jones makes me wanna raise a little hell in the home
If I'm possessed, I must confess
That I would trade a lifetime for an hour, yes I would
Wrapped in her arms & ugly charms
You know the girl has got me in her power & it feels so good
I was wise to get some advice
From an old friend, he's a gypsy
He read my palm & told me I'd have good luck
But I'd have to keep it with me
& with that forecast I can't lose
Just can't lose with the stuff she used
The devil in Mrs. Jones makes me wanna raise a little hell in the home
The devil in Mrs. Jones makes me wanna get up & get it on
You see, I was wise to get some advice
From an old friend, he's a gypsy
He read my palm & told me "Boy, you're gonna have good luck
But I gotta keep the Devil with me"
& with that forecast I can't lose
Just can't lose with the stuff she used
(repeat & fade):
The devil in Mrs. Jones makes me wanna raise a little hell in the home
The devil in Mrs. Jones makes me wanna get up & get it on
