Say, you
Who do you belong to?
Say, you
I've been hoping to meet you

Baby (Baby)
You've caught my eye
I can't deny
I realize it's you
I like what I see
You're perfect for me
Fast and fancy

Say, you
Who do you love? (Say, you)

I don't want to be friends if my heart kept seein'
Watching you play around (You play around)
This would make me sad
Hurt so bad
Drag my spirit down

Girl...Say, you
Who do you love? (Say, you)
(Baby) Give me the key to your heart.
Baby, say you
Who do you belong to?
(Give me the key to your heart)
Baby, baby, you, Lil' Girl
(Give me the key to your heart)
Baby, you.

LITTLE MISS SWEETNESS LYRICS

Now I'm a guy who's fond of sweet things, sweet things I adore,
In coffee most take one or two lumps, but I use three or four.
But since I kissed your sweet, sweet lips, sugar ain't sweet no more,
Your kiss was sweeter than any cup of coffee, I ever made before!

You know you're Little Miss Sweetness, ah, you're Little Miss Sweetness
The sweetest girl in the world.

If ever a man had a sweet tooth, I have one indeed!
I order cookies and cakes, malts and shakes from the menus that I read!
But all the cakes and shakes and malts I've bought, put together don't exceed,
The sweetness in just one of your kisses, Baby you're the one I need!

You know you're Little Miss Sweetness, ah, you're Little Miss Sweetness
The sweetest girl in the world.

Now listen to me you sweet things, hear what I have to say.
If ever you need somebody, send for me without delay!
But do one thing for me, don't go out on a rainy day,
Cause if it's true that rain melts sugar, you will surely melt away!

You know you're Little Miss Sweetness, ah, you're Little Miss Sweetness
The sweetest girl in the world. Trying to tell you, you're Little Miss Sweetness
The sweetest girl in the world.
The sweetest girl in the world.

. . .


I know you wanna leave me,
But I refuse, to let you go.
If I have to beg, plead, for your sympathy
I don't mind, 'cause you mean that much to me.

Chorus:
Ain't too proud to beg (sweet darlin'.)
Please don't leave me girl (don't you go.)
Ain't to proud to plead (baby,baby)
Please don't leave me girl (don't you go.)

Now I've heard a cryin' man,
Is half a man,
With no sense of pride.
But if I have to cry to keep you, I don't mind weepin',
If it'll keep you by my side.

Chorus

If I have to sleep on your doorstep,
All night and day,
Just to keep you from walkin' away.
Let your friends laugh, even this I can stand,
'Cause I wanna keep you, anyway I can!

Chorus

Now I've got a love so deep in the pit of my heart,
And each day it grows more and more.
I'm not ashamed to come, and plead to you baby,
If pleadin' keeps you from, walking out that door!

Chorus

. . .


I never met a girl who makes me feel
the way that you do (you're alright)
Whenever I'm asked who makes my dreams real
I say that you do (you're outta sight)
So Fee, Fie, Fo Fum,
look out baby, 'cause here I come,
And I'm bringin' you a love that's a true,
so get ready, get ready.
I'm gonna try to make you love me too,
so get ready, get ready, here I come.
I'm on my way.

If you want to play hide and seek with love
let me remind you (it's alright)
The lovin' you're gonna miss in the time
it takes to find you (it's outta sight)
So fiddle-ee-dee, fiddle-ee-dum,
look out baby, 'cause here I come,
And I'm bringin' you a love that's a true,
so get ready, get ready.
I'm gonna try to make you love me too,
so get ready, get ready, here I come.
I'm on my way.

All my friends should want you too,
I understand it (be alright)
I hope I get to you before they do
the way I planned it (be outta sight)
So twiddle-ee-dee, twiddle-ee-dum,
look out baby, 'cause here I come,
And I'm bringin' you a love that's a true,
so get ready, get ready.
I'm gonna try to make you love me too,
so get ready, get ready, here I come.
I'm on my way.

(Loneliness Made Me Realize) It's You That I Need Lyrics

Oooooooooohhhooooooo
Lonely man am I
ever since you said goodbye.
girl I know that i should have woke up
Cause it seems now that we broke up
your fairwell kiss is haunting me
my two lips cry out constantly

let your heart, let your heart be your guide
forget about your foolish pride

starting tomorrow i keep telling myself
i'm gonna get out and find somebody else
somebody that's sweet and kind
who will erase you out of my mind
but tell me how can i find somebody new baby
when my two arms keep reaching out for you
and my two lips keep right on repeating
it's you that i need
oooooooooohhhh


you know that even when I close my eyes to forget you
i see your face and your memories too
girl I've never felt this loneliness before
and ooooh girl I just can't take it no more

every night a million tears i shed
girl every morning going out of my head
just take a good look and you'll see
what this loneliness is doing to me

(it's you that I need) oooooohhhhoooooo
(don't you know that it you that i need)oooh I can't take this loneliness
( you that I need) oooh baby i need you
(you that I need) ooooooooh

so a fool i'm gonna be no more
cause i'll soon be knocking knocking on your door
gonna get down on my bended knees
beggin' please girl come back to me

its you that I need
girl it's you that I need

girl take a good look and you'll see
what this loneliness is doing to me

. . .


I Ain't got time to think about money,
Or what it can buy (ah ah ah ah)
And I ain't got time to sit down and wonder,
At what makes a birdie fly (ah ah ah ah)

I dont have time to think about what
Makes a flower grow
And I never given a thought
To where rivers flow

(Too Busy Thinking about my baby)
O Yeah,
Aint got time for nothing else

I Ain't got time to discuss the weather,
Or how long its gonna last (ah ah ah ah)
And I ain't got time to do no studying,
Once I get out of class (ah ah ah ah)

And Im just a fella,
With a one, a one track mind
And when it comes to thinking about,
anything but my baby,
I just dont have time!

(Too Busy Thinking about my baby)
O Yeah,
Aint got time for nothing else

And I know it's all, Its alright
(Instrumental)

I Ain't got time to read a newspaper,
Or look at TV (ah ah ah ah)
Cause' I'm not concerned with what the future holds,
Instore for me (ah ah ah ah)

Im just a fella,
With a one, a one track mind
And when it comes to thinking about,
anything but my baby,
I just dont have time!

(Too Busy Thinking about my baby)
O Yeah,
Aint got time for nothing else

You know I'm too, too busy
(Too Busy Thinking about my baby)
O Yeah,
Aint got time for nothing else (Fades out)

. . .


Look what you've done.
You made a fool out of someone. (Out of someone)
You thought love was true and found out that you were just having fun. (Just having fun)

And oh, why do you wanna make me blue?
After all, I've been good to you. (I've been good to you)
Oh, yes I have.

And I recall the time, hmmm, you needed somebody and I made you mine.
You needed a friend so I took you in and treated you so kind.

And oh, why do you wanna make me blue?
After... After all, I've been good to you. (I've been good to you)
Oh, yes I have.

And you know I've always been around.
And I never, never, never let you down.
And now you telling me that you must go.
You know that you're hurting me so-o-o-o-o.

But there, there come a time
One day, one day, one day you gonna wake up and find
You come back to me on your bending knee and you're gonna be crying.

And oh, believe me, what I say it true, baby.
After all, I've been good to you. (I've been good to you)

Everyday... and everyway. (I've been good to you)
Whoa, you know, you know, you know, baby, I've been so good. (I've been good to you)

FADING AWAY
WRITERS
WILLIAM "SMOKEY" ROBINSON
WARREN MOORE
ROBERT ROGERS

The feeling we used to get, whenever our lips met.
Like smoke from a cigarette, it's fading away.
Fading away, fading away.

It hurts me to think about, our love where there was no doubt.
Like a cloud when the sun comes out, it's fading away.
Fading away, fading away.

Hmm, you've changed and it's showing, baby.
You've changed and it's showing.
Tell me, where is your love going?

The plans we were making up, for now that we're breakin' up
Like dreams when you're waking up, are fading away.
Fading away, fading away.

The good times we shared alot, when you really cared alot.
Like steam from a coffee pot, it's fading way.
Fading away, fading away.

You've changed and it's showing, baby.
You've changed and it's showing.
Tell me, where is your love going?
Instrumental

Like smoke from a cigarette, a dream that you soon forget.
Our love from the day we met, it's fading away.
Fading away, fading away.

You've changed and it's showing, baby.
You've changed and it's showing.
Tell me, where is your love going?
Going.
You've changed and it's showing, baby.
You've changed and it's showing.
Tell me, where is your love going?
Going.

. . .


When you're feeling alright, I never see you coming.
But when you're hurt, you always come a-runnin';
But one of these days I know, I gonna have to let you go
Then, tell me, who you gonna to run to (baby) where you gonna hide
I wanna know-who you gonna tell that you're hurting-ing inside

When you're going strong,(when you're going strong)I don't see
you at all (I don't see you at all); But when something goes wrong,
(when something goes wrong)that's when you call (that's when you call)
But if you keep doing me like you do, then I'm gonna turn my back on you
Then tell me, who you gonna run to (repeat chorus)Hmmm mm

When you climbed love's tree, you thought that love was a game;
but now you're out on a limb, oh yes, and you're calling my name.
But one of these days I'm bound, to let you come tumbe-ling down
Then tell me who you gonna run to (Repeat chorus to a harmonic fade out)

. . .


you ain't got no halo hangin' over head
you ain't got no wings that you can spread
you ain't got no harp so you can play me song so sweet
you ain't got no golden slippers on your pretty little feet
oh but to me you're an angel
to me you're an angel
you're not an ordinary girl
because you're an angel to me yeah

now you don't have sugar sprinkled all over you
you're not made of peppermint through and through and through
you don't come in assorted flavors like a package of charms
and you won't stain my shirt if you melt in my arms
oh but to me you're candy
to me you're candy
you're not an ordinary girl
because you're candy to me yeah

i know i have a cause
i have missions on trees
you might not know all the facts about the birds and the bees
you don't send me sweet love letters with the smell of perfume
my photograph might not be plastered all over your room
oh but to me you're a sweetheart
to me you're a sweetheart
you're not an ordinary girl
you're a real sweetheart to me yeah

. . .


Do Do Do Do
Do Do Do Do Do
Do Do Do Do Do Do - Hey

When my Dad thought I had become of age
He said, "Son, you're getting to the Lovin' Stage"

I said, "Oh yeah, oh yeah"

"It's time you stopped being all alone
You've got to find a girl you can call your own"

I said, "Not now, I'll tell you later
Not now, I'll tell you when
Not now, I'll tell you later
When I'm gonna fall in love"

Do Do Do Do
Do Do Do Do Do
Do Do Do Do Do Do - Yeah

I met a little girl - fine as could be
I said, "Girl, you're the girl that was made for me"

She said, "Oh yeah, oh yeah"

I thought if I tried, I just couldn't miss
So I asked the lil' girl for just one lil' kiss

She said, "Not now, I'll tell you later (Not now)
Not now, I'll tell you when (Not now)
Not now, I'll tell you later
When I'm gonna fall in love"

When it's time for you to fall in love
It won't make sense for you to hurry
Take you time and make up your mind
Cause the surer you are, the less you have to work

Do Do Do Do
Do Do Do Do Do
Do Do Do Do Do Do - Hey

Not now, I'll tell you later (Not now)
Not now, I'll tell you when (Not now)
Not now, I'll tell you later
(Everybody)
When I'm gonna fall in love
