For five long years

But I found out, I'm just a link in your chain
Oh, you got me where you want me
I ain't nothin but your fool

Every chain, has got a weak link
I might be weak child, but I'll give you strength
Oh, babe
(Woo, woo, woo, woo)
You told me to leave you alone
(Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo)
My father said 'Come on home'
(Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo)
My doctor said 'Take it easy'
(Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo)
Oh but your lovin is just too strong

Oh, one of these mornings
The chain is gonna break
But up until the day
I'm gonna take all I can take, oh babe

Chain, chain, chain

Your chain of fools
FADES-
Oooooooooooooooooh......

Told my darling that I had to go
It's your body, I don't care no more
Although you had me, time to get along

Money won't change you, momey won't change you...
But time will take your own do

Then you know, how to be treated
Hold me, baby, tell the world
That you're my woman, my only girl

Money won't change you, money won't change you...
But time will take your own do
I know you're happy
To know you're happy, and to know you're gone
Money won't change you
Money won't change you, mama
I said, money won't change you
But time will take you own

I said, put a smile as good as gold
But that smile now can't be sold
You said, baby, that you had to go
Back to somebody, I don't care no more
Told your friends I was a fool
The trouble's, woman, that you've got to go through
Other lover won't take me home
I have a...
Even in the street, even in the car too
Mashed potatoes and boogaloo
C'mon baby and let yourself go...
It's your body, I don't care no more
C'mon baby, c'mon baby, everybody, everybody
Need your hand, need your hand
Let me tell you I, I, I...
I'm down so long...

People get ready, there's a train comin'
You don't need no baggage, you just get on board
All you need is faith to hear the diesels hummin'
You don't need no ticket you just thank the lord

People get ready, there's a train to Jordan
Picking up passengers coast to coast
Faith is the key, open the doors and board them
There's hope for all among those loved the most
There ain't no room for the hopeless sinner whom would hurt all mankind
Just to save his own
Have pity on those whose chances grow thinner
For there is no hiding place against the kingdoms throne

People get ready there's a train comin'
You don't need no baggage, just get on board
All you need is faith to hear the diesels hummin'
You don't need no ticket, just thank the lord

Down in Louisiana
Down in Cajun land

Looking out on the morning rain
I used to feel so uninspired
And when I knew I had to face another day
Lord, it made me feel so tired
Before the day I met you, life was so unkind
But you're the key to my peace of mind

Cause you make me feel,
you make me feel,
you make me feel like
A natural woman (woman)

When my soul was in the lost-and-found
You came along to claim it
I didn't know just what was wrong with me
'Til your kiss helped me name it
Now I'm no longer doubtful of what I'm living for
and if I make you happy I don't need to do more

Cause you make me feel,
you make me feel,
you make me feel like
A natural woman (woman)

Oh, baby, what you've done to me
You make me feel so good inside
And I just wanna be close to you
You make me feel so alive

You make me feel,
You make me feel,
You make me feel like
A natural woman (woman)

Baby baby, sweet baby
There's something that I just got to say
Baby baby, sweet baby
You left me hurtin' in a real cold way

Speak your name
And I feel a thrill
You said I do
And I said I will

I tell you that I'll stay true
and give you just a little time
Wait on me baby,
I want you to be all mine
I just get so blue

Since you?ve been gone, baby
(why?d you do it? why?d you have to do it?)
Since you?ve been gone
(why?d you do it? why?d you have to do it?)

(bridge)

Baby baby, sweet baby
I didn't mean to run you away
It was pride on my lips,
But not in my heart
To say the things that led you to stray
But ah, me
Hear me now
(hear me)
I don't know what I'm gonna do
(hear me)
Got to get you back somehow
(hear me now)
I'm praying
Take me back,
consider me please
If you walk in that door,
I can get up off my knees
I've just been so blue

Since you've been gone
(why'd you do it? why'd you have to do it?)
Since you've been gone
(why'd you do it? why'd you have to do it?)
Well I've been so lonely
(sweet sweet - sweet sweet baby)
Baby, since you've been gone
(sweet sweet - sweet sweet baby)
I've been so lonely
(why'd you do it? why'd you have to do it?)
Since you've been gone
(why'd you'do it? why'd you have to do it?)
Baby baby baby been so lonely
(sweet sweet - sweet sweet baby)

If you had a dollar, and I had a dime,
I wonder, could I borrow yours as easy as you could mine?
Because when you need my love, and I give time after time,
And turn around to find me no returns, then, my friend, you've used my dimes!

If there's water in the pitcher, and we both need a drink
To stay alive, my darlin', I'd need less water than you think...

My love, my love, these things, I swear, I say are true,
And all I'm really saying is be as good to me as I am to you...
Oh, yeah...

Listen to this!
Some people want, but they don't wanna give;
They can do all of the wrong in the world,
And got the nerve to not understand the meaning of loving me!
Starting today, tomorrow, and forevermore,
If you can't find it in your heart to do for me,
Then, baby, just don't darken my front door!

Baby, I want you to be as good to me as I am to you;
Whoo, baby! I don't think that's asking you too much to do...
Listen! Don't you walk around here, feeling like you can treat me any ole way,
Using my love, my time, my heart, day, day after day...
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, baby, baby, be as good to me as I am to you...
Whoo! Whoo!
Baby...

Oh come back, baby
Oh mama please dont go, yeah
Cause the way I love you
Child you'll never know
Oh come back baby, yeah yeah
Let's talk it over one more time
Oh now now
Well I admit, baby
That I was wrong
Don't you know, baby
Child you been gone too long
Oh come back baby, yeah yeah
Let's talk it over one more time
Oh now now
Say If I could holler
Like a mountain jack
Yeah yeah oh people
I'd call my baby back
Oh come back baby, Woo yeah
Let's talk it over one more time
Oh now now
Now one of these days, baby
And It won't be long, yeah
You gonna look for me child you know
And I'll be gone
So come back baby, yeah yeah
Let's talk it over one more time
Oh now now

Now all crew come get some sunshine
summer time vibes come back again
tell all your friends man!

Groovin' on a summer afternoon.
Groovin' couldn't get away too soon.

Now every woman every man come listen this one
from the heartical dan Mr. Pato Banton.
Me comin' in c-comin' in c-comin' in strong
with a positive summer time vibration.
Cause in the winter me can't take the cold
body start shiver when the breeze start blow.
Car can't start cause the engine froze
can't move me fingers, can't feel me toes.
But in the summer when the sun shine bright
kick off me boot put on me air nike.
Leave me car and jump pon me bike
it's this kind of weather I like.

Well everyday people are in a rat race
but if I could I would just slow down the pace.
Like a record on a deck, switch the speed
from 45 down to 33.
Woh! Nice and slow
sun a shine and breeze a blow.
Lord! Nice and easy
just a chill with me friends and family.

I can't imagine anything that's better
the world is ours whenever we're together
there ain't no place I'd rather be instead of groovin'!

Now in the struggle of life to achieve success
everyone goes through some form of stress.
The rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief
lawyer and the doctor, even the priest.

Ain't no way for me to love you
If you won't let me
It ain't no way for me to give you all ya need
If you won't let me give all of me
(ooooooo) I know that a woman's duty
Is to help and love the man
And that's the way it was for me

(ooooooo)
Oh but how can I, how can I, how can I, give ya
Give ya all the things I can
If you're tying both of my hands
Whoa ho it ain't no way (ain't no way)
(It ain't no) way-ay-ay (ain't no way)
It just ain't no way babe-bay
(Ain't no way) ain't no way baaabbey
(Ain't no way) It ain't no way-hey-hey
For you me to love you (hoooo)
If you won't let me
Stop tryin' to be someone you're not
(Oooooo)
A hard, cold and crude is a man
Who paid too much for what he got
And if you need me, to love you
Say, say yeah you do
I'll be waiting, please, please
Don't you know that I need you
Oh it ain't no way (oooo-oooo)
I tell ya that it ain't no way
It ain't no way, it ain't no way bab-ay
It just ai-ai-n't no way, it sho ain't no way
It ain't no way-ay-hey-ay for me to love you
If you won't let me (ooooo-woooo)
Ain't no way, if you won't let me
fades
Baby no way
