Well, bye bye baby
Wo bye bye baby, don't you know oh
Bye bye baby, wo, don't need your love
Yeah yeah, I don't want you, baby
Bye bye baby, yeah, bye bye baby

I don't wanna take a chance

Bad Boy
(Berry Gordy/Smokey Robinson)
He's not a bad boy because he made me see
Ooo-ee, how love could be
But he's a bad boy because he wants to be free
He wants to be free
He's not a bad boy to look at, burnin' & fine
& he said he was mine
But he's a bad boy because it was only a line
I bragged to the girls about the boy I had
But it woke me up to find out he was bad
& my only wish is that I wish I could
Make a bad boy be good
He wasn't a bad boy at first, so good at the start
Right now, right now we must part
Yes, he's a bad boy, but he's breaking my heart
Oh oh he's breaking my my my my my heart
...& fade

Strange Love

Strange love, I'm experiencing a strange love
& all those funny funny things you do, ha ha ha ha ha!
They only drive me closer & closer to you, mmm yeah
Strange romance, they say I'll never ever ever ever have a chance
But every time I close my eyes & try to realize it
I find it harder & harder to do, mmm
I wonder, I wonder if he ever thinks about me
& if it's so, I wanna know 'cause
Every day I love him & more
Strange, strange affair, I keep hoping that someday, one day you'll
care
Enough to come into my arms so that I can give you
All my, & all my, all my love, all my love, all my love, all my
love
All my love, oh I just wanna give you all my love

When your lover comes back? (when your lover comes back)

Yes you're gonna love a girl like me

Two Wrongs Don't Make A Right
(Berry Gordy/Smokey Robinson)
I broke your heart & said goodbye
Stayed away, my darling, & made you cry

Is that 2 wrongs don't make a right

Now I'm back begging you
Not to turn me away 'cause all I can say
Is that 2 wrongs don't make a right
Now is your chance to do me wrong
& to tell me that this is the end
Now, my darling, if you can forgive
Until the longest day I live
I'll never make that same mistake again
I took your love & said goodbye
I Stayed away, my darling, & made you cry
'Cause if you turn me away, baby, yeah yeah, all I can say
Is that 2 wrongs don't make a right

I've Got A Story
(Marvin Gaye/Mickey Stevenson/Henry Cosby)
I've got a story (story)
I've got a story that I wanna tell you
I've got a story about a boy I know
Who gave all his love to a girl I know
& said that she wouldn't have to worry
No more (no more) no more (no more)
Now he was so faithful (faithful)
Really faithful to his love you see ee
But she was so ungrateful
When she took his love & went out every night
With some other guy; she knew that wasn't right
Now she's sorry
But it's too late, oh it's much too late (too late)
(x2):
When he left her she cried
Tears fell from her eyes
Had she known she loved him so
She never would have let him go
Now it was me (me)
It was me who lost a real true lover
So you see
If you've got a love that's really true to you
From my story, you know just what to do
You'd better love him or treat him good or treat him right
Hold him tight, talk to him right, all day & night
...& fade
You're My Desire
(Mickey Stevenson/Rex Robertson)
(Spoken): Darling, there's something I'd like to say
You, you are my, my one desire
You make the sky seem so much brighter
There is something I know
I can't live without you
Oh I can't live without you
Oh underneath a summer sky
All I can see, all I can see is a tear in your eye
No need of crying
You are the only boy for me
Oh every day, oh & every night, I hold you tight
& then you, you kiss me & you squeeze me
With all, with all of your might
Oh you are, you are my one desire
You make the sky seem, seem so much brighter
There is something I know
I can't live without you
Oh you are my one desire
She Don't Love You
(Berry Gordy)
She may dress & she may pose
She may strut in her fancy clothes
But she don't love you
No she don't love you
No she don't love you like I do
Can't you see, can't you see that you are blind? Oh yeah
It's really me, it's really me; you should be mine
& I'm slowly but surely losing my mind
She may dress & she may pose
She may strut in her fancy clothes
But she don't know how to love you
She don't know how to love you
She don't know how to please you either, baby, like I do
You know it's true, you know it's true, you're just a fool, oh yeah
To throw away, to throw away a love that's true
But I'll carry on & I'll be around when she's gone
She may dress & she may pose
She may strut in all those fancy clothes
But she don't know how to love you
No she don't love you
She don't know how to love you like I do
(repeat & fade):
Oh you know she may
She may dress & she may pose
She may strut in her fancy clothes
But she don't love you
No she don't love you
She don't know how to love you like I do
Operator, operator, I'm so glad that you rang my phone
Operator, operator, I'm so glad that you found me home
I can hear my long gone lover
I've waited such a long long time
So please, operator
Put him on the line, I want him on the line
I want him on the line
I wanna talk to that long gone lover of mine
Operator, operator, there is static in my line
Did he say that his love was true?
Did he say that his love was mine?
Did he say he was coming home?
Did he say where he has been?
I can't hear a word he's saying
If you keep buttin' in, you keep buttin' in
You keep buttin' in
I wanna know if he's comin' home again
It shouldn't take this much time
To clear my line, to ease my mind
Oh operator, please get straight
It's unfair to make me wait any longer
My curiosity is stronger
Don't you know that it's wrong, oh so wrong
Operator, operator, this is very strange
What is the holdup here? Doesn't he have the change?
Oh please operator, if he don't have another dime
Reverse the charge to me
Put him on the line, I want him on the line
I want him on the line
I wanna talk to that long gone lover of mine
(Mary Wells version only: repeat above line & fade)
(Brenda Holloway version only: repeat & fade):
I didn't expect him, please connect him right way
I beg of you to put him through without delay
To lose you would be like losing the air I breathe
Would be like losing the flowers in May
The light of the day
I don't think I could find my way if I should lose you
It would be like losing my very soul
You're the only one I'll ever hold dear to my heart
Please don't let us part
But baby, if you keep foolin' 'round with every girl in town
I'm gonna have to put you down
I'm gonna have to lose you before you make me lose my mind
I'm gonna have to leave you behind
I'm tired of you cheatin' & lyin'
I'm tired of bein' blue & cryin'
At first, you know, I had to choose you
But now I'm gonna have to lose you
(instrumental)
(repeat previous verse)
(repeat & fade):
I'm gonna have to lose you
Laughing Boy
(Smokey Robinson)
Laughin' boy (ha ha ha ha ha)
That's what they used to call you
Before you found a new love to take my place
(Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha)
Laughin' boy (ha ha ha ha ha)
That's what they used to call you
You always wore a smile upon your face
But as I look at you now, I know that somehow
The smile you're wearing is untrue
Laughin' boy (laughin' boy) I think you're blue
Your new love (your new love)
She really must have hurt you
She really must have filled your heart with pain
(La la la la la la la la)
'Cause I know you well (know you well)
& you could never fool me
I know that somehow you're not the same
As I look at you know, I know that somehow
When you say you're happy, you're lying
Laughin' boy (laughin' boy) I believe you've been crying
(instrumental)
(La la la la la la la la)
Don't you know that it's true? I still love
Just as much as I did before
So laughin' boy (come on home)
Come on home, laughin' boy (come on home)
Come on home, laughin' boy (come on home)
& smile once more
What Love Has Joined Together
(Smokey Robinson/Bobby Rogers)
It would be easier to take the wet from water or the dry from sand
Than for anyone to try to separate us or stop us from holding hands,
'cause...
CHORUS:
I love you, I love you from the bottom of my heart
& what love has joined together, what love has joined together
Can nobody take it apart
It would be easier to take the cold from the snow or the heat from fire
Than for anyone to take me love from you 'cause you're my heart's desire,
&...
(chorus)
Even if they separate us 1000 miles apart
We will still be together in each other's hearts
It would be easier to change all the seasons of the year
Than for anyone to change the way I feel about you; I love you dear
(chorus)
(title twice, then fade)
