Yes it's true, for most of my life I
Spoke the Devil & did my best to dodge anything
That looked at all like work
I was prone to standin' on corners
Smokin' cigarettes & talkin' 'bout anything
That I didn't know
Oh how I needed to go
Please take me...
CHORUS:
To the Land of Milk & Honey
To the Land of Love & Sunshine
To the Land of Milk & Honey, please take me
Time passed & I got a little older
Takin' old trouble just a little bit harder
& a little bit bolder; you know, I was thinkin' colder
Fightin', lyin', cheatin', cryin'
I gave up dealing with the forces of evil
That were pullin' me down
You know I was givin' up a crown
Please take me...
(chorus)
(Milk & Honey)
Then it came & it sounded like thunder
Shinin' light with the dark of night
& you were really there, tellin' me that you cared
Your warm love took away the cold
The way you walked, the cobblestones turned to gold
& when you touched my hair
You know that you take me there
Take me with you...
(repeat chorus & fade)
(backup scat "she-bop-she-bop bop bop" heard during verses)
My best friend told me the other day, yeah
That my love has found, found somebody new
I said he was lyin' & he was bein' very cruel
Because we're (we're true lovers) wo wo yeah
(We're true lovers) wo wo yeah
(We're true lovers) Are we?
I couldn't believe what my friend said, yeah
For how, how was he to know?
He seemed so very sure of himself, but how, how could it be?
Because we're (we're true lovers) wo wo yeah
(We're true lovers) wo wo yeah
(We're true lovers) Are we?
Bridge (backed by scat "sha la la"):
We planned so many things for the future
& that, that we'd be married soon
But now our love, our love has ended
& there's nothing, nothing I can do, wo wo yeah
Now it's all over, love's at an end, yeah
Oh yes, she was with my best friend
Our love is over, yes our love is out the door
& now we're...
(repeat & fade):
(We're true lovers) no no no more
Just The Way You Are
(songwriting credits unavailable)
It's not the color of your hair
Although it's lovely, you know
It's not the clothes that you wear
That makes me ador you so
CHORUS:
It's just the way you are, girl
Everything about you
It's just the way you are, girl
Who could help but love you? Yeah
The way you tiptoe to kiss goodnight
The way you laugh at a clown
Everything you do is right
You pick me up when I'm down
(chorus)
There's not a thing wrong about you
Perfect in every way
I'll go crazy without you, girl
If you ever go away
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
(repeat verse 2)
(chorus)
(repeat title & fade)
Lovers Of The World Unite
(Greenaway/Cook)
CHORUS:
Lovers of the world, unite
You alone know what is right
People all should feel this way
Needin' someone every day
Keep the fire of dreamers bright
Lovers of the world, unite
All good people, hear my song
If you feel the world is wrong
All division, no one shares
Dreams are dying, & no one cares
Seems that just the young know how
So I ask you, listen now
(chorus)
Such a pity, such a shame
Man has only hate & blame
Give them beauty, give them life
He created toil & strife
Seems that just the young know how
So I ask you, listen now
(repeat chorus & fade)
Just What I've Been Looking For
(Robeds/Nichols)
I think I need someone, someone like you
To get on when I'm slowin' down
The things that you believe sound good to me
& I believe love can still be found
There never was a night like this
There's so much magic in your kiss
Now I want you close to me
You're just what I've been lookin' for
Girl, you're just what I've been lookin' for
I'm ready to go with you; I never felt close like this before
Just bein' alone with you makes me want you more
("Doo doo doo" scat singing)
You know it's hard to find someone like you
To light the way when the day's gone
I know that I can do somethin' for you
& have no doubt love will turn us on
I've never had a love like this
It's growin' stronger with each kiss
Now I want you close to me
Oh darlin', you're just what I've been lookin' for
Hey girl, you're just what I've been lookin' for
All ready to go with me; I never felt close like this before
Just bein' alone with you makes me want you more
("Doo doo doo" scat singing)
(repeat & fade):
Girl, you're just what I've been lookin' for
A boy chases a girl until she catches him
But this is one thing he should never see
& the love for her man makes a woman understand
& that's the way love should be
CHORUS:
Woman helping man
Underneath God's plan
Woman helping man
& man protecting her the best he can
A man goes through this world trying the best he can
Sometimes his love means sympathy
But when she holds him tight, suddenly everything's all right
That's the way love should be
(chorus)
(repeat & fade):
Woman helping man
Underneath God's plan
Hey, That's No Way To Say Goodbye
(Cohen)
I loved you in the mornin', with kisses deep & warm
Your head upon the pillow like a sleepy golden storm
Many loved before us; I know we are not movin'
City & in forest, they love like me & you
Now it's gone the distances; both of us must try
Your eyes fill with sorrow
Hey, that's no way to say goodbye
I'm not lookin' for another as I wander in my time
Walkin' to the corner, our steps will always line
You know my love goes with you, your love stays with me
It's just the way life changes, like the shoreline of the sea
Let's not talk of love or change, things we can't untie
Your eyes fill with sorrow
Hey, that's no way to say goodbye
(instrumental)
(That's no way to say goodbye) that's no way to say goodbye
(repeat verse 2)
Goodbye
