Ain't It The Truth
(Peques)

Your conscience has got a hold on you, uh huh huh
You're thinkin' of things you used to do, un huh huh
Things that caused me pain, uh huh huh
Things you can't explain
Ain't it the truth now, baby
Ain't it the truth now, baby

You're hurting deep down inside, uh huh huh
You got a painful look that's in your eyes, yeah yeah yeah 'cause
You remember when, uh huh huh
I said "You want me back again"
Ain't it the truth now, baby
Ain't it the truth now, baby

Oh oh oh I know you need my love
Now that everyone has put you down
But that's the story of a love you always needed
When it ain't around

Now you think that you will get me back, uh huh huh
But don't you bet your life on that, no no no 'cause
You did me wrong before, uh huh huh
I don't want you no more
Ain't it the truth now, baby
Ain't it the truth now, baby

(instrumental)

'Cause you did me wrong before, uh huh huh
I don't want you no more
Ain't it the truth now, baby
Ain't it the truth now, baby

Now ain't it the truth now, baby

Stop Taking Me For Granted
(Gentile/Lambert)

(spoken): Hey boy, I've got some talk for you.

Now I don't mind you tellin' everyone how much I love you
But to hear you say, nobody ever guess you love me too
You make our love seem like a one-sided thing
With me just a puppet that you dangle on a string
So I'm warning you (warning you)

You'd better stop (stop it) takin' me for granted
Quit it (quit it) takin' me for granted
Boy, stop it (stop it) takin' me for granted
Or you & I are through, we're through

Now if I knew you didn't care, I'd goodbye to you
But you'd better change before it's too late
& stop (stop) stop (stop) takin' me for granted
(Takin' me for granted)

(Boy, you'd better stop takin' that girl for granted) (x2)
I'm not the kind of girl you can push around
Or treat me mean & put me down
So I'm warning you (warning you)

You'd better stop (stop it) takin' me for granted
Quit it (quit it) takin' me for granted
Come on & stop it (stop it) takin' me for granted
Quit it (quit it) takin' me for granted

How Can I Forget Him
(Peques/Feldman/Goldstein/Gottehrer)

He came my way one fine day
He made me feel like his love was really real
Uh huh huh
& when I think of his sweet caress
My heart flies out in distress
Wo oh oh oh oh oh oh
How can I forget him? (How can I forget him?)
How can I forget him? (How can I forget him?)

He had that look (had that look)
That you read about in books (that you read about in books)
His charm & smile made me feel like a helpless child
Uh huh huh
& every time I hear his name
I wish I that had him back again
Wo oh oh oh oh oh oh
How can I forget him? (How can I forget him?)
How can I forget him? (How can I forget him?)

Who ever thought that a guy like him could hurt me?
(Hurt me, hurt me, hurt me)
That only happens to the other girls I know
Take my love & make me a slave & desert me (desert me)
What do I do? What do I say? Where do I go?

(instrumental)

I don't care what my girlfriends say
I never had a guy do me that way
Wo oh oh oh oh oh oh (x3)
Now tell me, how can I forget him? (How can I forget him?)
How can I forget him? (How can I forget him?)
You know he looks so good (How can I forget him?)
Now tell me, how can I forget him? (How can I forget him?)

Use Your Head
(Strong/Flemons/Barksdale)

Oh oh boy, oh oh boy
Don't let him sway you away from me
Don't let him say bad things about me
Don't let him tell you that I'm no good for you, oh no boy
He's only tryin' to break us up, tryin' to make you mad
He's about to make you lose the best love you've ever had
Oh oh boy, use your head, oh oh boy

Listen to your heart & not his words
I knew from the start that he was against us
Please don't think that I've been untrue to you, oh no boy
Although he treats you nice & claims to be your friend
He's always askin' me if he can call me now & then
Oh oh boy, use your head, oh oh boy

(instrumental)

I tell that you must have faith in me
Give me your trust & I'll never betray you
But don't let him say I'm not the girl for you, oh no boy
He's only jealous, can't you read between the lines?
Every time you turn your back he's tryin' to break your time
Oh oh boy, use your head, oh oh boy, use your head
Don't let him say bad things about me
Tell him you're no good without me
Come on, use your head
...& fade

Everloving Boy
(Clark)

Everloving boy, I can see you're still in love with me
In love with me the same way you used to be
Time has never changed you, oh no

Everloving boy, I can tell because I know you well
You love me like you've loved me since the day we fell
Time has never changed you, oh no

Bridge:
We had a fight, but here tonight
We kissed again, we kissed & then
You caressed me the way I love
& I thank my lucky star above for you

Everloving boy, don't you know I've always loved you so
& that is why it makes me oh so glad to know
That time has never changed you, everloving boy

Jive Guy
(Barnes/Jackson)

I heard all about you way before I met you
From the other girls who knew you well
Heard about your talkin', your cool way of walkin'
& that no girl could quite resist your spell
They say you are a jive guy, nothin' but a playboy
You're just a jive guy, a kiss-&-run-away boy

Judy said she loved you, but you wouldn't be true
& you cheated when she wasn't around, yeah
All the girls I've talked to, even Shirley, she knew
That you're not the kind to settle down
They say you are a jive guy, a real heartbreaker
You're just a jive guy, a real troublemaker

There weren't many girls that you missed
& now you wanna add me to your list, 'cause...

Since the day you met me, you've been out to get me
Guess you thought I'd be an easy catch
But I've got news for you, boy, & a thing or 2, boy
Let me tell you that you've met your match
So just forget it, jive guy; hate to disappoint you
But forget it, jive guy, 'cause this girl doesn't want you

(repeat & fade):
So forget it, jive guy, hate to disappoint you
Forget it, jive guy, 'cause this girl doesn't want you

My Mind's Made Up
(Barnes/Jackson)

You're tellin' everybody that your heart is cold as ice, yes you are
But you're just pretending so all the other girls will think twice, yeah

CHORUS:
But my mind's made up & I'm gonna get you
& when I do boy, I'll never let you get away
'Cause my mind's made up, boy, & I'm gonna get you

How can I convince you that this love I have is real? Yeah
Every time we kiss you make believe you're made of steel, yes you do

(chorus)

(instrumental)

Born to this girl, it's your determined lovesick girl, yeah
Is the hardest thing to do in the whole wide world, yes it is

(chorus, then repeat its last line & fade)

We're Just Two Of A Kind
(McCoy)

You like the same things I like to do
I tell you honey, it's really funny
How much in common I have with you
I'm certain, baby, no if or maybe
We were tailor-made for each other
So come on baby, let's get together
'Cause we're just 2 of a kind
Can't you see that we're just 2 of a kind

You like the places I like to go
Your favorite color blue, well that's mine too
You like your music sweet & slow
Well that's a good sign 'cause that's my kind
We're gonna get along, simply pray
We'll make each other a perfect mate
'Cause we're just 2 of a kind
Can't you see that we're just 2 of a kind

A better catch would be hard to find
If I should look all over the nation
There ain't a match like yours & mine
Believe it or not, we've got the perfect combination

You like the dances I like to do
Golly gee, how we agree
You like a quiet date for 2
Yes indeed, you're just my speed
I've seen the proof; here's my conclusion
Let's fall in love; that's the solution
'Cause we're just 2 of a kind
Can't you see that we're just 2 of a kind

We were tailor-made for each other
So come on baby, let's get together
'Cause we're just 2 of a kind

He's Good Enough For Me
(Goodman)

My guy, they say he is no good
But he likes my style & that's so good
He may not be as smart as he could be
& he's not always good like he should be, then...

CHORUS:
He's good enough for me
Yes he's good enough for me
Perfect he will never be
That's good enough for me, oh yeah

When he treats me rough, I don't mind it
'Cause that's the way love is when you find it
Though I know he's bad like the weather
& when he say he'll love me forever, then...

(chorus)

I know he's not very smart
But I'll never let him go
They say that he'll break my heart
But I know know know know I'll never let him go

Though they tell me he don't belong
Everything he does he does wrong
When he holds me close in the night
Everything he does is right, then...

(chorus)

(He's good enough for me)
I like his style (he's good enough for me)
His shy smile (he's good enough for me)

Never Never Leave Me
(Gentile/Lambert)

I love you more than anyone
Should ever be allowed to love anyone or anything
(Anyone or anything)

Should ever be allowed to need anyone or anything

Why Don't You Let Yourself Go
(Clark)

You don't have to be so shy
I know that you want me just by the look in your eye
Why don't you let yourself go? Let yourself go

You don't have to hold it back
I know that you want me just by the way that you act
Why don't you let yourself go? Let yourself go

(x2):
You don't have to be so shy
Come on & do what I want you to do
Come on, come on
You don't have to hold it back
I know you'd like nothin' better

You don't have to be afraid
I'm givin' you the green light tellin' you've got it made

You've got it made

He's A Lover

Some people talk about my guy
They say he always acts so shy
But I tell you truthfully
When he's all alone with me
He's a lover, yeah

He's kind of quiet in a crowd
He never likes to come on loud
But when all the people go
& we turn the lights down low
He's a lover, yeah

Bridge:
When we're alone, he knows the sweetest things to say
He holds me close & loves me in his own sweet way

He's a lover, yeah

Me Without You
(Barnes/Jackson)

Day without sun, stars without night
Moon without glow, what a lonely sight

CHORUS:
Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I'd see
Me without you (me without you)
Or you without me (you without me), yeah

Birds without song, trees without ground
Man without words, words without a sound

(chorus)

We vowed to always be as one till the end of time
But now that you've left me, it doesn't seem real somehow

Summer without children running wild, winter without pain, yeah
Summer without heat & a caribou without a game

You without me (me without you)
Lonely lonely sight (you without me)
Can't you see me cryin', baby? (Me without you)
There's no one mind (you without me)

I'm Learning
(C. Smith/R. Miner)

(Ooo baby, I'm learning, hey hey)

Like a baby crawls before it walks
I'm learning what love is
Like it cries before it talks
I'm learning what love is
It won't be long before I catch on
My teacher does his job well done
Oh I never thought learning could be so much fun
Hmm hmm hmm

Like amendment flying to the moon
I'm just learning what love is
Like a flower my heart blooms
I'm learning what love is
From what I can see, the way you're teaching me
I'd rather you show me to the end
So I can keep on learning & we'll remain friends
Ooo ooo ooo

(Ooo baby, I'm learning, hey hey)

(1st 4 lines of verse 1, then last 4 lines of verse 2)

Keep on teaching me & buildin' up my hopes
I'm learning what love is
Pretty soon I'll know the ropes
I'm just learning what love is
Learning, I'm learning, keep showin' me the way
...& fade

I'm Sorry
(Bateman/Hollon/Moseley)

(I've been a fool; forgive this fool)
Where have you been, my long lost friend?
Somehow I knew one day you'd come back again
Could it be you've dropped by to tell another lie?
Or could it be you wanna tell me you're sorry?

(I've been a fool; forgive this fool)
If you thought you could walk in here
Like you walked out, then you're the fool of the year
So please don't waste my time; you are no longer mine
& if I'm hurting you, well baby, I'm sorry

(Please, please, take me back again
For I've always loved you & will till the end of time)
Yes, yes, I've heard that before
But my heart can't hear you anymore

(repeat & fade):
(I'm sorry, dear, so sorry, dear)

Say What You Gotta Say

Time After Time
(Styne/Cahn)

Time after time, I tell myself
That I'm so lucky to be loving you
So lucky to be the one you run to see
When the evening of the day, the day is through

& I only knew what I know
Though passing years, they're gonna show
You kept our love so young, so new
& oh time, time after time, you're gonna hear me
I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say
That I'm so lucky to be loved, loving you

I wanna do it one more time now, yeah
I wanna say time, time
Time after time you're gonna hear me
I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say
That I'm so lucky to be love-ving
I'm so lucky to be loving you
I'm so very lucky to be loving a guy like you, yeah
