Giving up lovin', easy to do
People so pitiful they never come through
Honey, honey, honey, I ain't that way
(You want a little bit) once in a while, come on and get a bit
You shouldn't take it so hard (yeah) you shouldn't take it (yeah)
You shouldn't take it so hard (yeah).

Take a look around you, tell me, what do you see ?
People with little bits try, tryin' to smile
Most of what you've gotten is free (yeah)
(Yeah) you shouldn't take it so hard (yeah).

You shouldn't take it so hard (yeah) you shouldn't take it so hard (yeah)
You shouldn't take it so hard (yeah).

Yank it up baby or go get yourself a new name
You want a little bit once in a while, yeah you got a taste for it
You shouldn't take it (yeah) you shouldn't take it so hard (yeah)
(Yeah).

You shouldn't take it so hard (yeah)
You shouldn't take it so hard (yeah)
You shouldn't take it so hard (yeah)
You shouldn't take it so hard (yeah)

How I wish that you were here again
How I wish that you were here again
Uh if I could see you and touch you with my hand
If I could feel you, but I know damn well I can't.

How I wish that you were here again
How I wish I had you near again
If I could see you, oh just now and then
Oh if I could feel you but, I'd do my time again.

(Oh honey, honey, honey, yeah)

If I could kiss you, caress you now and then
Ooh just to thrill you, I'd do life again, yeah.

(Oh honey, honey, honey, yeah)

How I wish that you were here again
(Oh honey, honey, honey, yeah)
How I wish that you were here again
(Oh honey, honey, honey, yeah)
(Oh honey, honey, honey, yeah)
(Oh honey, honey, honey, yeah)

Well hung, friend of mine, he's size 8, I'm size 9
Shucks my dear, I'm gonna get a lick from you
One thing, one thing too, one thing to remember that I could have
Yes I could have, uh yes I could have
I could have stood you up but I did, did, didn't, yeah yeah.

Short fuse, lights blew out, power came back, hear them shout
Shucks my dear, gotta get a lick from you
One thing, one thing too, one thing to remember that I could have
Yes I could have, baby but I could have
I could have stood you up but I did, did, didn't yeah yeah yeah.

My shoes, walk down the street, only trouble is they ain't on my feet
Dig them kicks, they belong to me
One thing, one thing too, one thing to remember that I could have
Baby could have, yeah I could have
I could have stood you up but I did, did, didn't, didn't yeah.

Rip it up, rip it down, change the shape of the whole damn town
Shucks my dear, I'm gonna get a lick from you
One thing, one thing too, one thing to remember that I could have
Yes I could have, yeah but I could have
I could have stood you up but I did, did, did, did, did, did, did.

I could have stood you up but I did, did, did.

Dunbar-Roberts-Shakespeare

Girl, you're too bad, girl you're too rude
Every man I speak to says he wants you
Girl tou're too bad, girl you're too rude
Every man I speak to says he wants you.

Everywhere, all over the place
Every man he has a picture of your face
Hey little girl, don't you realize
This is a goddam disgrace

Girl, you're too bad, girl you're too rude
Every man I speak to says he wants you
Girl tou're too bad, girl you're too rude
Every man I speak to says he wants you.

Ooh, little girl, you never want me
Tomorrow night you say you need my key
Hey little girl, go and have a ball
You know one day, girl, you're bound to fall.

Girl, you're too bad, girl you're too rude
Every man I speak to says he wants you
Girl tou're too bad, girl you're too rude
Every man I speak to says he wants you.

Richards-Jordan

Make no mistake about it mm, but things ain't what they seem
I'm gonna scream and shout it, this is just a dream.

A simple conversation, every now and then
A touchy situation yeah, fascinates a man.

(What shall I do, if I should see you)
(And have to pretend that we have never met ?)

It's not a cheap sensation when you touch me with your hand
A little complication but it can hypnotize a man.

How we gonna hide it ? This thing with you and me yeah
Everyone can tell by now, I just can't lie, you see.

(What shall I say to hide it ?) to hide it baby
(No words can convey your lips melting into mine).

(No mistake, no mistake) make no mistake baby (make no mistake)
(Make no mistake) about it (no mistake) mmm (make no mistake) mmm c'mon.

Make no mistake about it, I'm gonna make you mine
No need to talk it over, we're running out of time.

(I've made up my mind about you, oh)
(I know in my heart that you have the same point of view).

(No mistake) this is it (no mistake, make no mistake) mistake
(Make no mistake) oooh (no mistake) make no mistake baby (make no mistake) oh baby
Oh yeah (Make no mistake) make no mistake (make no mistake) ...

Meade

Time is on my side, yes it is
Time is on my side, yes it is
Now you always say that you want to be free
But you'll come running back (said you would, baby)
You'll come running back (I said so many times before)
You'll come running back to me.

Yeah, time is on my side, yes it is
Time is on my side, yes it is
You're searching for good times but just wait and see
You'll come running back (I won't have to worry no more)
You'll come running back (spend the rest of my life with you, baby)
You'll come running back to me.

Go ahead, baby, go ahead, go ahead and light up the town
And baby, do everything your heart desires, remember, I'll always be around
And I know, I know like I told you so many times before
You're gonna come back
'Cause I know you're gonna come back knocking
Yeah, knocking right on my door, yes.

Time is on my side, yes it is
Time is on my side, yes it is
'Cause I got the real love, the kind that you need
You'll come running back (said you would, baby)
You'll come running back (I always said you would)
You'll come running back, to me.

Yes time, time, time is on my side, yes it is
Yeah, time, time, time is on my side, yes it is
Yeah, time, time, time is on my side.

Richards-Jordan

No time for weepin' baby, no tears need flow
Let no one tell you how you should grow, yeah.

Stretched to the limit honey, locked in the hole
Hung out to dry, still on a roll.

Ready, willing, able and big enough.

Run in the front door, run out the back
Wall in your face and a gun in your back.

No time for weepin' baby, no need for tears
Let no one tell you honey, how you should grow.

Big enough, big enough yeah
Big, big enough, yeah yeah
Big enough.

Ready, willing, able and big enough
Ready, willing, able and big enough.

Richards-Jordan

Whip (whip it up)
Whip (whip it up).

Don't know what you dream at night honey
Close your eyes and see, leave the rest to me
I'll be stealin' in if you give me half a chance
C'mon baby, let's get this dream to dance.

(Whip it up)
C'mon whip (whip it up) whip it up, whip it up.

Well it seems so sad to me, the way we carry on
Why, why baby can't we get along ?
I ain't deceivin' you and if you ain't deceivin' me
Then someone else has lied to us, yeah don't deny it.

Save it for another day, don't save it for me yeah
If I ain't good enough (for you) then maybe you ain't good enough
Good enough, good enough for me.

Whip it up baby, just a flick of the wrist
Twist of the mind, whip it up, whip it up, whip, whip it up ...

Richards-Jordan

She swears that I'm the only one, what about yesterday
Oh I'd like to believe, somehow I still suspect (locked away)
She ought to be (locked away)
She ought to be locked away.

My mind is racing, footsteps lead me to jealousy
I'm losing my grip, I can't trust the way I feel (locked away)
I ought to be (locked away)
Throw that old key away.

My friends say that your friends say
Uh that I ain't worth your time
I know what you must hear
Don't let it interfere (locked away)
Ought to be (locked away)
They ought to be (locked away, locked away).

We can do anything, any trick in the book
We can go anywhere as long as we get (locked away)
Ought to be (locked away)
You and me (locked away, locked away)
We ought to be locked away (locked away, locked away, locked away).

(Locked away, we ought to be locked away).

Richards-Jordan

Well it's a struggle, baby it's a struggle, yeah yeah
If it's a struggle between love and hate, baby's gonna have to wait
Yeah yeah huh yeah, ooh yeah struggle.

I'm in the middle, you're not the only one
You're not the only one, you're not the only one.

It's a struggle, it's a struggle, baby, baby, baby, yeah
Well it's a struggle to make ends meet honey
Under pressure to express yourself
Then admit it, don't deny yourself, yeah yeah.

Hard to fight, struggle, struggle.

You and me should never feel neglected
Overlooked, overworked, overhooked, yeah.

Doing as you're told, hell on hold
Through the night, without a fight
You gotta face the day.

If you struggle baby, it only tightens up, yeah yeah
Uh yeah.

Jagger-Richards

Well I never kept a dollar past sunset
It always burned a hole in my pants
Never made a school mama happy
Never blew a second chance, oh no.

I need a love to keep me happy
I need a love to keep me happy
Baby, baby keep me happy
Baby, baby keep me happy.

Always took candy from strangers
Didn't wanna get me no trade
Never want to be like papa
Working for the boss every night and day.

I need a love to keep me happy
I need a love, baby won't you keep me happy ?
Baby, won't you keep me happy ?
Baby, please keep me

I need a love to keep me happy
I need a love to keep me happy
Baby, baby keep me happy
Baby, baby keep me happy.

Never got a flash out of cocktails
When I got some flesh off the bone
Never got a lift out of Lear jets
When I can fly way back home.

I need a love to keep me happy
I need a love to keep me happy
(Baby) baby keep me happy
(Baby) baby keep me happy
(Baby).

Jagger-Richards

All I want to do is to get back to you
Connection, I just can't make no connection
But all I want to do is to get back to you.

Everything is going in the wrong direction
The doctor wants to give me more injections
Giving me shots for a thousand rare infections
And I don't know if he'll let me go.

Connection, I just can't make no connection
But all I want to do is to get back to you
Connection, I just can't make it, connection
But all I want to do is to get back to you.

My bags they get a very close inspection
I wonder why it is that they suspect ‘em
They're dying to add me to their collections
And I don't know if they'll let me go.

Connection, I just can't make no connection
But all I want to do is to get back to you
Connection, I just can't make no connection
But all I want to do is to get back to you
Connection, I just can't make no connection
But all I want to do is to get back to you.
