"Still Unforgettable" (2008)

Walkin' My Baby Back Home lyrics - Natalie Cole

Gee, it's great after bein' out late
Walkin' my baby back home
Arm in arm over meadow and farm
Walkin' my baby back home

We go 'long harmonizing a song
Or I'm recitin' a poem
Owls go by and they give me the eye
Walkin' my baby back home

We stop for a while, she gives me a smile
And snuggles her head on my chest
We start in to pet and that's when I get
Her talcum all over my vest

After I kinda straighten my tie
She has to borrow my comb
Once kiss then I continue again
Walkin' my baby back home

She's 'fraid of the dark so I have to park
Outside of her door till it's light
She says if I try to kiss her she'll cry
I dry her tears all through the night

Hand in hand to a barbecue stand
Right from her doorway we roam
Eats and then it's a pleasure again
Walkin' my baby
Talkin' my baby
Lovin' my baby
I don't mean maybe
Walkin' my baby back home

Come Rain Or Come Shine lyrics - Natalie Cole

I'm gonna love you
Like nobody's loved you
Come rain or come shine
High as a mountain
And deep as a river
Come rain or come shine

I guess when you met me
It was just one of those things
But don't ever bet me
Cause I'm gonna be true
If you let me

You're gonna love me
Like nobody's loved me
Come rain or come shine
Happy together
Unhappy together
And won't it be fine?
Days may be cloudy or sunny
We're in or we're out of the money
But I'm with you always
I'm with you rain or shine

Coffee Time lyrics - Natalie Cole

Coffee time
My dreamy friend
It's coffee time
Let's sing
This silly
Little rhyme
And have
A cup of coffee

Java time
My happy chum
Let's have a time
We'll celebrate
For just a dime
And have
A cup of coffee

Greetin' time
The music box
Is beatin' time
It's good
Old-fashioned
Meetin' time
We're in the pink
So come and clink
And let's drink
A cup of coffee

Coffee time
My dreamy friend
It's coffee time
Let's sing
This silly
Little rhyme
And have
A cup of coffee

Coffee time
My dreamy friend
It's coffee time
Let's sing
This silly
Little rhyme
And have
A cup of coffee
And have
A cup of coffee
And have
A cup of coffee

Somewhere Along The Way lyrics - Natalie Cole

I used to walk with you
Along the avenue
Our hearts were carefree and gay

How could I know I'd lose you
Somewhere along the way?

The friends we used to know
Would always smile, "Hello"
No love like our love they'd say

Then love slipped through our fingers
Somewhere along the way

I should forget
But with the loneliness of night
I start remembering everything

You're gone and yet
There's still a feeling deep inside
That you will always be part of me

So now I look for you
Along the avenue
And as I wander I pray

That some day soon, I'll find you
Somewhere along the way

I should forget
But with the loneliness of night
I start remembering everything

You're gone and yet
There's still a feeling deep inside
That you will always be part of me

So now I look for you
Along the avenue
And as I wander I pray

That some day soon, I'll find you
Somewhere along the way
Somewhere along the way

You Go To My Head lyrics - Natalie Cole

You go to my head
And you linger
Like a haunting refrain
And I find you
Spinning 'round
In my brain
Like the bubbles
In a glass of champagne

You go to my head
Like a sip
Of sparkling Burgundy brew
And I find
The very mention of you
Like the kicker
In a julep or two

The thrill of the thought
That you might
Give a thought to my plea
Casts a spell over me
Still I say to myself
"Get a hold of yourself"
"Can't you see
that it never can be?"

You go to my head
With a smile
That makes
My temperature rise
Like a summer
With a thousand Julys
You intoxicate my soul
With your eyes

Though I'm certain
That this heart of mine
Hasn't a ghost
If a chance
In this crazy romance
You go to my head
You go to my head

Nice 'N' Easy lyrics - Natalie Cole

Let's take it nice and easy
It's gonna be so easy
For us to fall in love

Hey baby whats your hurry
Relax and don't you worry
Were gonna fall in love

Were on the road to romance - that's safe to say
But let's make all the stops along the way

The problem now of course is
To simply hold your horses
To rush would be a crime
'Cause nice and easy does it every time

[Repeat]

Why Don't You Do Right? lyrics - Natalie Cole

You have plenty money, 1922
You let other people make a fool of you
Why don't you do right,
Like some other men do?

Sittin' down, wonderin' what it's all about
If you ain't got no money they will put you out
Why don't you do right,
Like some other men do?

Get outta here,
Get me some money too.

If you have repaired years ago,
You wouldn't be wondering out from door to door
Why don't you do oh oh right,
Like some other men do?

Get outta here,
And get me some money too.

Oh, yeah
You're sittin' down, wondering what it's all about
If you ain't got no money they will put you out.
Why don't you do, do, do right,
Like some other men do?

Well, I fell for your jivin' and I took you in,
And now all you got to offer me is a drink of gin.
Why don't you do right baby,
Like those other men do?

Get outta here,
And get me some money too.

I said, get outta here,
And get me some money too.

Be-do, Be-do, Be-diddle-ee, do, do, do, do, do, do, diddle-dee
Duh-wee, beh-do, beh-do, bah-bo [x4] beh-do wee.

Here's That Rainy Day lyrics - Natalie Cole

Maybe
I should have saved
Those leftover dreams
Funny
But here's that rainy day

Here's that rainy day
They told me about
And I laughed at the thought
That it might turn out this way

Where is that worn out wish
That I threw aside
After it brought my love so near

Funny how love becomes
A cold rainy day
Funny
That rainy day is here

It's funny
How love becomes
A cold rainy day

Funny
That rainy day is here

But Beautiful lyrics - Natalie Cole

Love is funny
Or it's sad
Or it's quiet
Or it's mad
It's a good thing
Or it's bad
But beautiful

Beautiful
To take a chance
And if you fall
You fall
And I'm thinking
I wouldn't mind
At all

Love is tearful
Or it's gay
It's a problem
Or it's play
It's a heartache
Either way
But beautiful

And I'm thinking
If you were mine
I'd never
Let you go
And that would be
But beautiful
I know

And I'm thinking
If you were mine
I'd never
Let you go
And that would be
But beautiful
That would be
But beautiful
I know

Lollipops And Roses lyrics - Natalie Cole

Tell her you care
Each time you speak
Make it her birthday
Each day of the week
Bring her nice things
Sugar and spice things
Roses and lollipops
And lollipops and roses

One day shell smile
Next day shell cry
Minute to minute
You'll never know why
Coax her, pet her
Better yet get her
Roses and lollipops
And lollipops and roses

We try acting grown up
But as a rule
Were all little children
Fresh from school

So, carry her books
That's how it starts
Fourteen to forty
They're kids
In their hearts
Keep them handy
Flowers and candy
Roses and Lollipops
And lollipops and roses

The Best Is Yet To Come lyrics - Natalie Cole

Out of the tree of life I just picked me a plum
You came along and everything starting to hum
Still it's a real good bet the best is yet to come

The best is yet to come, and babe won't it be fine?
You think you've seen the sun but you ain't seen it shine

Wait till the warm up's underway
Wait till our lips have met
Wait till you see that sunshine day, ain't nothing like it yet

The best is yet to come, and babe won't it be fine?
The best is yet to come, come the day your mine
Come the day your mine

I'm gonna teach you to fly, we've only tasted the wine
We're gonna drink that cup dry
Wait till your charms are ripe for these arms to surround

You think you've flown before but you ain't left the ground
Wait till you're locked in my embrace, wait till I draw you near
Wait till you've seen that sunshine place, ain't nothing like it here

The best is yet to come, and babe won't it be fine?
The best is yet to come, come the day you're mine
Come the day you're mine, come the day you're mine
The best is yet to come, and babe won't it be fine?

Something's Gotta Give lyrics - Natalie Cole

Somethings gotta give
Somethings gotta give
Somethings gotta give
When an irresistible force such as you
Meets and old immovable object like me
You can bet as sure as you live
Something's gotta give, something's gotta give
Something's gotta give
When an irrepressible smile such as yours
Warms an old implacable heart such as mine
Don't say no because I insist
Somewhere, somehow
Someone's gonna be kissed
So on guard who knows what the fates have in store
From their vast mysterious sky?
I'll try hard ignoring those lips I adore
But how long can anyone try?
Fight, fight, fight, fight, fight it with all of our might
Chances are some heavenly star spangled night
We'll find out as sure as we live
Something's gotta give, something's gotta give
Something's gotta give
Fight, fight, fight it with all of our might
Chances are some heavenly star spangled night
We'll find out as sure as we live
Something's gotta give, something's gotta give
Something's gotta give
Something's gotta, something's gotta give

Until The Real Thing Comes Along lyrics - Natalie Cole

I'd wait for you
I'd slave for you
I'd be a beggar
Or a knave for you
If that isn't love
It will have to do
Until the real thing
Comes along

I'd gladly move
The earth for you
To prove my love, dear
And it's worth for you
I that isn't love
It will have to do
Until the real thing
Comes along

With all the words
Dear, at my command
I just can't make
You understand
I'll always love you
Darling
Come what may
My heart is yours
What more can I say?

I'd lie for you
I'd sigh for you
I'd tear the stars
Down
From the sky for you
If that isn't love
It will have to do
Until the real thing
Comes along

With all the words
Dear, at my command
I just can't make
You understand
I'll always
Love you baby
Come what may
My heart is yours
What more can I say?

I'd lie for you
I'd cry for you
I'd lay my body down
And die tor you
If that isn't love
It will have to do
Until the real thing
Comes along

It's All Right With Me lyrics - Natalie Cole

It's the wrong time
And the wrong place
Though your face
Is charming
It's the wrong face
It's not her face
But such
A charming face
That it's
All right with me

It's the wrong song
In the wrong style
Though your smile
Is lovely
It's the wrong smile
It's not her smile
But such
A lovely smile
That it's
All right with me

You can't know
How happy
I am that we met
I'm strangely
Attracted to you
There's someone
I'm trying
So hard to forget
Don't you want
To forget someone
Too?

It's the wrong game
With the wrong chips
Though your lips
Are tempting
They're the wrong lips
They're not her lips
But they're
Such tempting lips
That if some night
You are free
Then it's all right
Yes
It's
All right with me

"Leavin'" (2006)

Criminal lyrics - Natalie Cole

I've been a bad bad girl
I've been careless with a delicate man
And it's a sad sad world
When a girl will break a boy
Just because she can
Don't you tell me to deny it
I've done wrong and I want to
Suffer for my sins
I've come to you 'cause I need
Guidance to be true
And I just don't know where I can begin

What I need is a good defense
'Cause I'm feelin' like a criminal
And I need to be redeemed
To the one I've sinned against
Because he's all I ever knew of love

Heaven help me for the way I am
Save me from these evil deeds
Before I get them done
I know tomorrow brings the consequence
At hand
But I keep livin' this day like
The next will never come

Oh help me but don't tell me
To deny it
I've got to cleanse myself
Of all these lies till I'm good
Enough for him
I've got a lot to lose and I'm
Bettin' high
So I'm beggin' you before it ends
Just tell me where to begin

What I need is a good defense
'Cause I'm feelin' like a criminal
And I need to be redeemed
To the one I've sinned against
Because he's all I ever knew of love

Let me know the way
Before there's hell to pay
Give me room to lay the law and let me go
I've got to make a play
To make my lover stay
So what would an angel say
The devil wants to know

What I need is a good defense
'Cause I'm feelin' like a criminal
And I need to be redeemed
To the one I've sinned against
Because he's all I ever knew of love

What I need is a good defense
'Cause I'm feelin' like a criminal
And I need to be redeemed
To the one I've sinned against

Because he's all I ever knew of love

Old Man lyrics - Natalie Cole

Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.
Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.

Old man look at my life,
Twenty four
and there's so much more
Live alone in a paradise
That makes me think of two.

Love lost, such a cost,
Give me things
that don't get lost.
Like a coin that won't get tossed
Rolling home to you.

Old man take a look at my life
I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me
the whole day through
Ah, one look in my eyes
and you can tell that's true.

Lullabies, look in your eyes,
Run around the same old town.
Doesn't mean that much to me
To mean that much to you.

I've been first and last
Look at how the time goes past.
But I'm all alone at last.
Rolling home to you.

Old man take a look at my life
I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me
the whole day through
Ah, one look in my eyes
and you can tell that's true.

Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.
Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.

Day Dreaming lyrics - Natalie Cole

Day dreamin
and I'm thinkin of you
Day dreamin
and I'm thinkin of you
Day dreamin
and I'm thinkin of you
Day dreamin
and I'm thinkin of you

He's the kinda guy
That'll say hey baby let's get away
Let's go somewhere far
Where I don't care
No I don't care

He's the kinda guy
that you give your everything
Trust all your heart
Share all of your heart
Till death do you part
Won't break your heart

I wanna be whatever he wants
Whatever he needs it
When he's lonesome
and feelin' love-starved
I'll be there to feed him
Lovin' him a little more each day
Makes my heart beat when I hear him say

Hey baby let's get away
Let's go somewhere far
Baby can we
Where I don't care
Oh-woe
Hey baby let's get away
Let's go somewhere far
Baby can we
Where I don't care

Day dreamin and I'm thinkin of you
Day dreamin and I'm thinkin of you
Thinkin of you

He's the kinda guy
That'll say hey baby let's get away

Let's go somewhere far
Where I don't care
baby I'm there

He's the kinda guy
that you give your everything
Trust all your heart
Share all of your heart
Till death do you part
Won't break my heart

Lovin' me a little more each day
Turnin' me on when I hear him say
Saaaay
Hey baby let's get away
Let's go somewhere
Your love stays on my mind
Your love stays on my mind
Day dreamin
Hey baby let's get away
Your love stays on my mind
Your love stays on my mind

Day dreamin and I'm thinkin of you
Day dreamin and I'm thinkin of you
It's all about you
Day dreamin and I'm thinkin of you
Day dreamin and I'm thinkin of you
Thinkin of you
Day dreamin and I'm thinkin of you
Your love stays on my mind
Gonna give you my heart
Gonna give you my love
Day dreamin and I'm thinkin of you
Your love stays on my mind
Day dreamin and I'm thinkin of you
Cause it's all about you
Day dreamin and I'm thinkin of you
Your love stays on my mind
Day dreamin and I'm thinkin of you
Day dreamin'
OH!
Your love stays on my mind
You love stays on my mind
Day dreamin and I'm thinkin of you!

Leavin' lyrics - Natalie Cole

They say that love is a 2 way street
But you can't prove that by me
Lately, it just seems like I'm headed down
Lonely, one lane highway

Well, it's the same ol' same ol'
It's not like I haven't been here
A thousand times before
But this time, it's different
'Coz this time I'm not takin' it anymore

(Hey)
I'm leavin'
(Hey)
This time it's for good
You should've treated me
The way you said you would

(Hey)
I'm leavin'
(Hey)
And you can't make me stay
I'm tired of bein' hurt
And it ain't no good anyway

Now, I know it's gonna be hard on you
Once it hits you that I'm gone
And all those pretty things
That you bought for me, you can keep it
'Coz they don't make up
For the damage that you've done

Oh, you'll be alright, you'll be fine
It just won't be today
And as for me, I'm doin' better already
But what a hell of a price to pay

(Hey, hey)
I'm leavin'
(Hey)
And this time it's for good
You never treated me
The way you said you would

(Hey, hey)
I'm leavin', baby
(Hey)
And you can't make me stay
I'm tired of being hurt
And it ain't no good
It ain't no good anyway

(Hurts me so)
When it's 4 o'clock in the mornin'
(Sad to go)
And my bags are packed and ready to go
Don't know what I was thinkin'
But I should have left you a long time ago

(Hurts me so)
And thought it hurts me, baby
(Sad to go)
Nothin's gonna make me stay
And I'm tired, tired of hurtin' anyway

Love ain't supposed to hurt
That's right
You got to know your worth
(And I finally believe I'm worth a lot)
You're not the first and you probably
Won't be the last
(It hurts so much inside)

You're not the one to blame
(Hurts me so)
(And I try not to blame myself)
But you gotta get over the shame
(Sad to go)
(But oh, you don't know)
Take a good look
You know you're never comin' back
(No, never, no, never)

(Hey)
This time it's for good
(Hey)
You never treated me
The way you said you would
And I'm leavin', baby, bye bye
