Now you say you're lonely
You cry the long night through
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
Now you say you're sorry
For being so untrue
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
You drove me, nearly drove me, out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember, I remember, all that you said
Told me love was too plebeian
Told me you were through with me and
Now you say you love me
Well, just to prove you do
Come on and cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
I cried a river over you
I cried a river...over you...
Undecided lyrics - Natalie Cole
First you say you do and then you don't,
And then you say you will and then you won't,
You're undecided now, so what are you gonna do?
Now you want to play, and then it's no,
And when you say you'll stay, that's when you go,
You're undecided now, so what are you gonna do?
I've been sittin' on a fence,
And it doesn't make much sense,
Cause you keep me in suspense
And you know it!
Then you promise to return;
When you don't I really burn,
Well, I guess I'll never learn,
And I show it!
If you got a heart, and if you're kind,
Then don't keep us apart, make up your mind,
You're undecided now, so what are you gonna do?
I've been sittin' on a fence,
And it doesn't make much sense,
'Cause you keep me in suspense
And you know it! Then you promise to return;
When you don't I really burn,
Well, I guess I'll never learn,
And I show it!
If you got a heart, and if you're kind,
Then don't keep us apart, make up your mind,
You're undecided now, so what are you gonna do?
Now, if you don't love me, I wish you'd say so,
I love you so much, honey, I just got to know;
I'm just a fool for you; what are you gonna do?
And then you say you will and then you won't,
You're undecided now, so what are you gonna do?
Now you want to play, and then it's no,
And when you say you'll stay, that's when you go,
You're undecided now, so what are you gonna do?
I've been sittin' on a fence,
And it doesn't make much sense,
Cause you keep me in suspense
And you know it!
Then you promise to return;
When you don't I really burn,
Well, I guess I'll never learn,
And I show it!
If you got a heart, and if you're kind,
Then don't keep us apart, make up your mind,
You're undecided now, so what are you gonna do?
I've been sittin' on a fence,
And it doesn't make much sense,
'Cause you keep me in suspense
And you know it! Then you promise to return;
When you don't I really burn,
Well, I guess I'll never learn,
And I show it!
If you got a heart, and if you're kind,
Then don't keep us apart, make up your mind,
You're undecided now, so what are you gonna do?
Now, if you don't love me, I wish you'd say so,
I love you so much, honey, I just got to know;
I'm just a fool for you; what are you gonna do?
I'm Gonna Laugh You Right Out Of My Life lyrics - Natalie Cole
I'm gonna laugh you right out of my life,
Laugh, and forget this affair
Guess I was foolish
To care.
So I'm gonna dance you right out of my dreams,
Try to be carefree and gay
I guess I'll learn to play
The part.
'Cause when our friends begin that
Heartless rumor,
I know I'll really need my
Sense of humor.
I'm gonna laugh you right out of my life,
Make it a beautiful joke.
No one will know you broke
My heart.
But if I find you and I
Really meant that last goodbye,
Then I'm gonna laugh so hard,
I'll cry.
But if I find you and I
Really meant that last goodbye,
Then I'm gonna laugh so hard
I'll cry.
Laugh, and forget this affair
Guess I was foolish
To care.
So I'm gonna dance you right out of my dreams,
Try to be carefree and gay
I guess I'll learn to play
The part.
'Cause when our friends begin that
Heartless rumor,
I know I'll really need my
Sense of humor.
I'm gonna laugh you right out of my life,
Make it a beautiful joke.
No one will know you broke
My heart.
But if I find you and I
Really meant that last goodbye,
Then I'm gonna laugh so hard,
I'll cry.
But if I find you and I
Really meant that last goodbye,
Then I'm gonna laugh so hard
I'll cry.
Let There Be Love lyrics - Natalie Cole
Let there be you
Let there be me
Let there be oysters
Under the sea
Let there be wind
And occasional rain
Chili con carne
Sparkling champagne
Let there be birds
That sing in the trees
Someone to bless me
Whenever I sneeze
Let there be cuckoos
A lark and a dove
But first of all, please
Let there be love
Let there be me
Let there be oysters
Under the sea
Let there be wind
And occasional rain
Chili con carne
Sparkling champagne
Let there be birds
That sing in the trees
Someone to bless me
Whenever I sneeze
Let there be cuckoos
A lark and a dove
But first of all, please
Let there be love
Don't Explain lyrics - Natalie Cole
Hush now, don't explain
Just say you'll remain
I'm glad your back, don't explain
Quiet, don't explain
What is there to gain
Skip that lipstick
Don't explain
You know that I love you
And what endures
All my thoughts of you
For I'm so completely yours
Cry to hear folks chatter
And I know you cheat
Right or wrong, don't matter
When you're with me, sweet
Hush now, don't explain
You're my joy and pain
My life's yours love
Don't explain
Just say you'll remain
I'm glad your back, don't explain
Quiet, don't explain
What is there to gain
Skip that lipstick
Don't explain
You know that I love you
And what endures
All my thoughts of you
For I'm so completely yours
Cry to hear folks chatter
And I know you cheat
Right or wrong, don't matter
When you're with me, sweet
Hush now, don't explain
You're my joy and pain
My life's yours love
Don't explain
As Time Goes By lyrics - Natalie Cole
This day and age we're living in
Gives cause for apprehension
With speed and new invention
And things like fourth dimension.
Yet we get a trifle weary
With Mr. Einstein's theory.
So we must get down to earth at times
Relax relieve the tension
And no matter what the progress
Or what may yet be proved
The simple facts of life are such
They cannot be removed
You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss, a sigh is just a sigh.
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by.
And when two lovers woo
They still say, "I love you."
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by.
Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date.
Hearts full of passion
Jealousy and hate.
Woman needs man
And man must have his mate
That no one can deny.
It's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die.
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by.
Oh yes, the world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by.
Gives cause for apprehension
With speed and new invention
And things like fourth dimension.
Yet we get a trifle weary
With Mr. Einstein's theory.
So we must get down to earth at times
Relax relieve the tension
And no matter what the progress
Or what may yet be proved
The simple facts of life are such
They cannot be removed
You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss, a sigh is just a sigh.
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by.
And when two lovers woo
They still say, "I love you."
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by.
Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date.
Hearts full of passion
Jealousy and hate.
Woman needs man
And man must have his mate
That no one can deny.
It's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die.
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by.
Oh yes, the world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by.
Too Close For Comfort lyrics - Natalie Cole
Be wise, be smart, behave, my heart
Don't upset your cart when she's so close
Be soft, be sweet, but be discreet
Don't go off your feet, she's so close for comfort
Too close, too close for comfort, please, not again
Too close, too close to know just when to say "when"
Be firm, be fair, be sure, beware
On your guard, take care, while there's such temptation
One thing leads to another
Too late to run for cover
She's much too close for comfort now
Too close, too close for comfort, please, not again
Too close, too close to know just when to say "when"
Be firm and be fair, be sure, beware
On your guard, take care, while there's such temptation
One thing leads to another
Too late to run for cover
She's much too close for comfort now
Too close, much too close
She's much too close for comfort now
Don't upset your cart when she's so close
Be soft, be sweet, but be discreet
Don't go off your feet, she's so close for comfort
Too close, too close for comfort, please, not again
Too close, too close to know just when to say "when"
Be firm, be fair, be sure, beware
On your guard, take care, while there's such temptation
One thing leads to another
Too late to run for cover
She's much too close for comfort now
Too close, too close for comfort, please, not again
Too close, too close to know just when to say "when"
Be firm and be fair, be sure, beware
On your guard, take care, while there's such temptation
One thing leads to another
Too late to run for cover
She's much too close for comfort now
Too close, much too close
She's much too close for comfort now
Calypso Blues lyrics - Natalie Cole
Wa-oo-oo, wa-oo-oo,
Wa-oo wa-oo wa-oo wa-ay
Wa-oo-oo, wa-oo-oo,
Wa-oo wa-oo wa-oo wa-ay
Sittin' by de ocean
Me heart, she feel so sad,
Sittin' by de ocean,
Me heart, she feel so sad...
Don't got de money
To take me back to Trinidad.
Fine calypso woman,
She cook me shrimp and rice,
Fine calypso woman,
She cook me shrimp and rice
Dese yankee hot dogs
Don't treat me stomach very nice.
In Trinidad, one dollar buy
Papaya juice, banana pie,
Six coconut, one female goat,
An' plenty fish to fill de boat.
One bushel bread, one barrel wine,
An' all de town, she come to dine.
But here is bad, one dollar buy
Cup of coffee, ham on rye.
Me throat she sick from necktie,
Me feet hurt from shoes.
Me pocket full of empty,
I got Calypso blues.
Dese yankee girl give me big scare,
Is black de root, is blonde de hair.
Her eyelash false, her face is paint,
And pads are where de girl she ain't
She jitterbug when she should waltz,
I even think her name is false.
But calypso girl is good a lot,
Is what you see, is what she got.
Sittin' by de ocean
Me heart, she feel so sad,
Sittin' by de ocean,
Me heart, she feel so sad
Don't got de money
To take me back to Trinidad.
Wa-oo-oo, wa-oo-oo,
Wa-oo wa-oo wa-oo wa-ay
Wa-oo-oo, wa-oo-oo,

Wa-oo wa-oo wa-oo wa-ay
Sittin' by de ocean
Me heart, she feel so sad,
Sittin' by de ocean,
Me heart, she feel so sad...
Don't got de money
To take me back to Trinidad.
Fine calypso woman,
She cook me shrimp and rice,

Lovers lyrics - Natalie Cole
(Lovers, lovers, lovers, lovers, everywhere)
Everywhere I go, in every face I see the sign of love
Shining so brightly, its in the air, its everywhere, I can feel it in my bones
People holding hands, making love, really, really getting it on
I'm crazy 'bout lovers, beautiful lovers, everywhere
Yeah, yeah, lovers, beautiful lovers, everywhere
And everywhere I go I hear people say

Don't you know that life can be beautiful, life can be wonderful when you
Can always have that special someone around, and I'm talking 'bout lovers, ooh
Beautiful lovers, don't you know that there everywhere, lovers, beautiful lovers
(Everywhere) everywhere, (everywhere) in the air (everywhere)
And if you like romancing and you don't want no dancing

All About Love lyrics - Natalie Cole
Thinkers think about love till it comes out their ears
Drinkers drink about love and they cry in their beers
Now you can think about it, drink about it
But if you're on the brink about it
Don't fall till you know all about love
Singers croon about love sing with sadness and pain
A tycoon about love spends a fortune in vain
Sing a dirge about it, splurge about it
But if you're on the verge about it
Don't fall till you know all about love
You must examine your motives clearly
Look at the facts sincerely
Or you mess up very dearly if you don't
Writers write about love till their fingers are sore
Fighters fight about love till their flat on the floor
You can write about it, fight about it
Think about it, drink about it
But there's one item I forgot to recall
You can't know all about love unless you fall
Ah, thinkers think about love till it comes out their ears
And drinkers drink about love and they cry in their beers
But you can think about it, drink about it
But if you're on the brink about it
Don't fall till you know all about love
Writers write about love till their fingers are sore
Fighters fight about love till their flat on the floor
Now you can write about it, fight about it
Think about it, drink about it
But there's one item I forgot to recall
You can't know all about love no, no
'Cause I know all about love, yeah yeah
You can't know all about love unless you fall
In love
You must examine your motives clearly
Look at the facts sincerely
Or you mess up very dearly if you don't
Doctors know about love that it's bad on the nerves
Drivers show about love that it's hard on the curves
Lose your nerve about it, squirm about it
Doubt about it, pout about it
But there's one item I forgot to recall
You can't know all about love no, no
'Cause I know all about love, yeah yeah
You can't know all about love no, no
'Cause I know all about love, yeah yeah
You can't know all about love unless you fall
In love
Drinkers drink about love and they cry in their beers
Now you can think about it, drink about it
But if you're on the brink about it
Don't fall till you know all about love
Singers croon about love sing with sadness and pain
A tycoon about love spends a fortune in vain
Sing a dirge about it, splurge about it
But if you're on the verge about it
Don't fall till you know all about love
You must examine your motives clearly
Look at the facts sincerely
Or you mess up very dearly if you don't

Take A Look lyrics - Natalie Cole
Take a look in the mirror, look at yourself
But don't you look too close, cause you just might see the person
That you hate the most, Lord, what's happening to this human race
I can't even see one friendly face, brothers fight brothers and sisters wink their eyes
While silver tongues bear fruits of poison lies, take a look at your children
Born innocent, every boy and every girl, denying themselves a real chance
To build a better world, oh! Dear Lord what's happening to your precious dream
I think its washing away on a bloody, bloody stream, yes, take a look at your children
Before it's too late, and tell them nobody, nobody wins when the prize is hate
Oh, no, no, no It's not too late, we gotta tell all of our children
That love, love, love is the way, yeah, yeah
But don't you look too close, cause you just might see the person
That you hate the most, Lord, what's happening to this human race
I can't even see one friendly face, brothers fight brothers and sisters wink their eyes
While silver tongues bear fruits of poison lies, take a look at your children
Born innocent, every boy and every girl, denying themselves a real chance
To build a better world, oh! Dear Lord what's happening to your precious dream
I think its washing away on a bloody, bloody stream, yes, take a look at your children
Before it's too late, and tell them nobody, nobody wins when the prize is hate
Oh, no, no, no It's not too late, we gotta tell all of our children
That love, love, love is the way, yeah, yeah
The Very Thought Of You lyrics - Natalie Cole
The very thought of you,
and I forget to do,
the little ordinary things
that everyone ought to do.
I'm living in a kind of daydream.
I'm happy as a king.
And foolish though it may seem
to me, that's everything.
The mere idea of you,
the longing here for you…
You'll never know how slow the moments go
‘til I'm near to you.
I see your face in every flower,
your eyes in stars above.
It's just the thought of you,
the very thought of you,
my love.
The mere idea of you,
the longing here for you…
You'll never know how slow the moments go
‘til I'm near to you
I see your face in every flower,
your eyes in stars above.
It's just the thought the of you,
the very thought of you,
my love.
and I forget to do,
the little ordinary things
that everyone ought to do.
I'm living in a kind of daydream.
I'm happy as a king.
And foolish though it may seem
to me, that's everything.
The mere idea of you,
the longing here for you…
You'll never know how slow the moments go
‘til I'm near to you.
I see your face in every flower,
your eyes in stars above.
It's just the thought of you,
the very thought of you,
my love.
The mere idea of you,
the longing here for you…
You'll never know how slow the moments go
‘til I'm near to you
I see your face in every flower,
your eyes in stars above.
It's just the thought the of you,
the very thought of you,
my love.
Paper Moon lyrics - Natalie Cole
I never feel a thing is real
When I'm away from you
Out of your embrace
The world's a temporary parking place
Mmm... A bubble for a minute
Mmm... you smile
The bubble has a rainbow in it
Say it's only a paper moon
Sailing over a cardboard sea
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believed in me
Yes it's only a canvas sky
Hanging over a muslin tree
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believed in me
Without your love
It's a honky tank parade
With out your love
It's a melody played in a penny arcade
It's a Barnum and Bailey world
Just as phony as it can be
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believed in me, oh...
[scat]
Yes it's only a canvas sky
Hanging over a muslin tree
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believed in me
Without your love
It's a honky tonk parade
Without your love
It's a melody played in a penny arcade
It's a Barnum and Bailey world
Just as phony as it can be
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believed in me
[scat p.2]
When I'm away from you
Out of your embrace
The world's a temporary parking place
Mmm... A bubble for a minute
Mmm... you smile
The bubble has a rainbow in it
Say it's only a paper moon
Sailing over a cardboard sea
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believed in me
Yes it's only a canvas sky
Hanging over a muslin tree
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believed in me

Route 66 lyrics - Natalie Cole
If you, ever plan to motor West
Travel my way, take the highway that's the best
Get your kicks, on Route 66
It winds, from Chicago to L.A.
More than two-thousand miles all the way
Get your kicks, on Route 66.
Now you go through Saint Looey
And Joplin, Missouri
And Oklahoma City looks mighty pretty
You'll see Amarillo
Gallup, New Mexico
Flagstaff, Arizona; don't forget Winona
Kingman, Barstow, San Bernandino
Won't you, get hip to this timely tip
When you make, that Cal-i-fornia trip
Get your kicks, on Route 66
[solos: bass, piano]
Won't you... get hip to this timely tip
When you make, that Cal-i-fornia trip
Get your kicks, on Route, 66
Come on and get your kicks, on Route 6-6
Get your kicks, on Route 66
Travel my way, take the highway that's the best
Get your kicks, on Route 66
It winds, from Chicago to L.A.
More than two-thousand miles all the way
Get your kicks, on Route 66.
Now you go through Saint Looey

Mona Lisa lyrics - Natalie Cole
Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa men have named you
You're so like the lady with the mystic smile
Is it only cause you're lonely they have blamed you
For that Mona Lisa strangeness in your style
Do you smile to tempt a lover Mona Lisa
Or is this your way to hide a broken heart
Many dreams have been brought to your door step
They just lie there and they die there
Are you warm? Are you real Mona Lisa?
Or just a cold and lonely, lovely work of art
[Musical Interlude]
Do you smile to tempt a lover Mona Lisa
Or is this your way to hide a broken heart
Many dreams have been brought to your door step
They just lie there and they die there
Are you warm? Are you real Mona Lisa?
Or just a cold and lonely, lovely work of art
Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa
You're so like the lady with the mystic smile
Is it only cause you're lonely they have blamed you
For that Mona Lisa strangeness in your style
Do you smile to tempt a lover Mona Lisa
Or is this your way to hide a broken heart
Many dreams have been brought to your door step
They just lie there and they die there
Are you warm? Are you real Mona Lisa?
Or just a cold and lonely, lovely work of art
[Musical Interlude]
Do you smile to tempt a lover Mona Lisa
Or is this your way to hide a broken heart
Many dreams have been brought to your door step
They just lie there and they die there
Are you warm? Are you real Mona Lisa?
Or just a cold and lonely, lovely work of art

L-O-V-E lyrics - Natalie Cole
L is for the way you look at me
O is for the only one I see
V is very very extraordinary
E is even more than anyone that you adore can love
It's all that I can give to you
Love is more than just a game for two
Two in love can make it
Take my heart but please don't break it
Love was made for me and you
Yeah L is for the way you look - you're lookin' at me
And O is for the only one I see
V is so very very extraordinary
Now E is even more than any-any-anyone that you adore can love
It's all that I'm gonna give to you
Oh love is more than just a game for two
Two in love can make it
Take my heart but please don't you break it
'Cause love was made for me and you
I'm a-tellin' you that love was made for me and you
Don't you know that love was made for me and you
O is for the only one I see
V is very very extraordinary
E is even more than anyone that you adore can love
It's all that I can give to you
Love is more than just a game for two
Two in love can make it
Take my heart but please don't break it
Love was made for me and you
Yeah L is for the way you look - you're lookin' at me
And O is for the only one I see
V is so very very extraordinary
Now E is even more than any-any-anyone that you adore can love
It's all that I'm gonna give to you
Oh love is more than just a game for two
Two in love can make it
Take my heart but please don't you break it
'Cause love was made for me and you
I'm a-tellin' you that love was made for me and you
Don't you know that love was made for me and you
This Can't Be Love lyrics - Natalie Cole
This can't be love, because I feel so well,
No sobs, no sorrows, no sighs.
This can't be love; I get no dizzy spells,
My head is not in the skies.
My heart does not stand still, just hear it beat.
This is too sweet to be love.
This can't be love, because I feel so well,
But still I love to look in your eyes.
[Instrumental interlude]
My heart does not stand still, just hear it beat.
This is too sweet to be love.
This can't be love, because I feel so well,
But still I love to look in your eyes.
Still I love to look in your eyes.
No sobs, no sorrows, no sighs.
This can't be love; I get no dizzy spells,
My head is not in the skies.
My heart does not stand still, just hear it beat.
This is too sweet to be love.
This can't be love, because I feel so well,
But still I love to look in your eyes.
[Instrumental interlude]
My heart does not stand still, just hear it beat.
This is too sweet to be love.
This can't be love, because I feel so well,
But still I love to look in your eyes.
Still I love to look in your eyes.
Smile lyrics - Natalie Cole
Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky you'll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through
For you
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear maybe ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile- what's the use of crying
You'll find that life is still worth while
If you just smile
Oh that's the time you must keep on trying
Smile what's the use of crying
You'll find that life is still worth while
If you just smile
Smile even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky you'll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through
For you
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear maybe ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile- what's the use of crying
You'll find that life is still worth while
If you just smile
Oh that's the time you must keep on trying
Smile what's the use of crying
You'll find that life is still worth while
If you just smile
Lush Life lyrics - Natalie Cole
I used to visit all the very gay places
Those come-what-may places
Where one relaxes on the axis of the Wheel of Life
To get the feel of life
From jazz and cocktails
The girls I knew had sad and sullen gray faces
With distingué traces
That used to be there
You could see where they'd been washed away
By too many through the day
Twelve o'clock-tails
Then you came along with your siren song
To tempt me to madness
I thought for awhile that your poignant smile
Was tinged with a sadness
Of a great love for me
Ah, yes, I was wrong
Again, I was wrong
Life is lonely, again
And only last year everything seemed so sure
Now life is awful, again
A troughful of hearts could only be a bore
A week in Paris
Will ease the bite of it
All I care is
To smile, in spite of it
I'll forget you, I will
While yet you are still
Burning inside my brain
Romance is mush
Stifling those who strive
I'll live a lush life
In some small dive...
And there I'll be
While I rot with the rest
Of those whose lives are lonely too...
Those come-what-may places
Where one relaxes on the axis of the Wheel of Life
To get the feel of life
From jazz and cocktails
The girls I knew had sad and sullen gray faces
With distingué traces
That used to be there
You could see where they'd been washed away
By too many through the day
Twelve o'clock-tails
Then you came along with your siren song
To tempt me to madness
I thought for awhile that your poignant smile
Was tinged with a sadness
Of a great love for me
Ah, yes, I was wrong
Again, I was wrong
Life is lonely, again
And only last year everything seemed so sure
Now life is awful, again
A troughful of hearts could only be a bore
A week in Paris
Will ease the bite of it
All I care is
To smile, in spite of it
I'll forget you, I will
While yet you are still
Burning inside my brain
Romance is mush
Stifling those who strive
I'll live a lush life
In some small dive...
And there I'll be
While I rot with the rest
Of those whose lives are lonely too...
That Sunday That Summer lyrics - Natalie Cole
(If I had to choose just one day)
If I had to choose just one day to last my whole life through
It would surely be that Sunday; the day that I met you
Newborn whippoorwills were calling from the hills
Summer was a coming in but fast
Lots of daffodils were showing off their skills
Nodding all together, I can almost hear them whisper
Go on kiss him; go on and kiss him
If I had to choose one moment to live within my heart
It would be that tender moment recalling how we started
Darling it would be when you smiled at me
That way, that Sunday, that Summer
[Musical Interlude]
Go on kiss him; go on and kiss him
And if I had to choose just one moment
To live within my heart it would surely be that moment
Recalling how we started
Darling it would be when you smiled at me
That way, that Sunday, that summer
(If I had to choose just one day)
If I had to choose just one day to last my whole life through
It would surely be that Sunday; the day that I met you
Newborn whippoorwills were calling from the hills
Summer was a coming in but fast
Lots of daffodils were showing off their skills
Nodding all together, I can almost hear them whisper
Go on kiss him; go on and kiss him
If I had to choose one moment to live within my heart
It would be that tender moment recalling how we started
Darling it would be when you smiled at me
That way, that Sunday, that Summer
[Musical Interlude]
Go on kiss him; go on and kiss him
And if I had to choose just one moment
To live within my heart it would surely be that moment
Recalling how we started
Darling it would be when you smiled at me
That way, that Sunday, that summer
(If I had to choose just one day)
Orange Colored Sky lyrics - Natalie Cole
I was walking along
Mindin' my business
When out of the orange colored sky
Flash
Bam
Ali-ca-zam
Wonderful you came by
I was hummin' a tune
Drinkin' in sunshine
When out of that orange colored view
Wham
Bam
Ali-ca-zam
I gotta look at you
One look and I yelled "timber"
Watch out for flying glass
'Cause the ceiling fell in
And the bottom fell out
I went into a spin
And I started to shout,
"I've been hit, this is it, this is it."
I was walking along
Mindin' my business
When love came and hit me in the eye
Flash
Bam
Ali-ca-zam
Out of the orange colored sky
Well, one look and I yelled "timber"
Watch out for flying glass
'Cause the ceiling fell in
And the bottom fell out
I went into a spin
And I started to shout,
"I've been hit, this is it, this is it."
I was walkin' along
Mindin' my business
When love came and hit me in the eye
Flash
Bam
Ali-ca-zam
Out of that orange colored purple striped pretty green polka-dot sky
Flash
Bam
Ali-ca-zam
And goodbye
Mindin' my business
When out of the orange colored sky
Flash

Wonderful you came by
I was hummin' a tune
Drinkin' in sunshine
When out of that orange colored view

Watch out for flying glass

A Medley: For Sentimental Reasons / Tenderly / Autumn Leaves lyrics - Natalie Cole
[For Sentimental Reasons]
I love you, for sentimental reasons
I hope you do believe me
I'll give my heart
I love you, and you alone were meant for me
Please give your loving heart to me
And say we'll never part
I think of you every morning
Dream of you every night
Darling I'm never lonely
Whenever you're in sight
I love you, for sentimental reasons
I hope you do believe me
I've given you my heart...
[Tenderly]
The evening breeze, caressed the trees
Tenderly
The trembling trees, embraced the breeze
Tenderly
Then you and I
Came wandering by
And lost in the sight, were we
The shore was kissed, by sea and mist
Tenderly
I can't forget, how two hearts met
Breathlessly
Your arms open wide, and close me inside
You took my lips, you took my love
So tenderly
Your arms open wide, and close me inside
You took my lips, you took my love
So tenderly
[Autumn Leaves]
The falling leaves drift by the window
The autumn leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sun-burned hands I used to hold
Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear Old Winter's song
But I miss you most of all, my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall
Mais la vie spare ceux qui saiment
Tout doucement sans faire de bruit
But I miss you most of all, my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall...
I love you, for sentimental reasons
I hope you do believe me
I'll give my heart
I love you, and you alone were meant for me
Please give your loving heart to me
And say we'll never part
I think of you every morning
Dream of you every night
Darling I'm never lonely
Whenever you're in sight
I love you, for sentimental reasons
I hope you do believe me
I've given you my heart...
[Tenderly]
The evening breeze, caressed the trees
Tenderly
The trembling trees, embraced the breeze
Tenderly
Then you and I
Came wandering by
And lost in the sight, were we
The shore was kissed, by sea and mist
Tenderly
I can't forget, how two hearts met
Breathlessly
Your arms open wide, and close me inside
You took my lips, you took my love
So tenderly
Your arms open wide, and close me inside
You took my lips, you took my love
So tenderly
[Autumn Leaves]
The falling leaves drift by the window
The autumn leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sun-burned hands I used to hold
Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear Old Winter's song
But I miss you most of all, my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall
Mais la vie spare ceux qui saiment
Tout doucement sans faire de bruit
But I miss you most of all, my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall...
Straighten Up And Fly Right lyrics - Natalie Cole
A buzzard took a monkey for a ride in the air
Monkey thought that everything was on the square
The buzzard tried to throw the monkey off his back
But the monkey grabbed his neck and said "Now listen, jack"
"Straighten up and fly right
"Straighten up and stay right
"Straighten up and fly right
"Cool down papa, don't you blow your top
"Ain't no use in divin'
"What's the use of jivin'
"Straighten up and fly right
"Cool down papa, don't you blow your top."
The buzzard told the monkey "You are chokin' me
"Release your hold, and I will set you free"
The monkey looked the buzzard right dead in the eye
And said "Your story's so touching but it sounds like a lie"
Straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and stay right
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down papa don't you blow your top
[Interlude]
Straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and stay right
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down papa don't you blow your top
Ain't no use in divin'
What's the use of jivin'
You better, straighten up and fly right
Cool down papa don't you blow your top
Fly right
Monkey thought that everything was on the square
The buzzard tried to throw the monkey off his back
But the monkey grabbed his neck and said "Now listen, jack"
"Straighten up and fly right
"Straighten up and stay right
"Straighten up and fly right
"Cool down papa, don't you blow your top
"Ain't no use in divin'
"What's the use of jivin'
"Straighten up and fly right
"Cool down papa, don't you blow your top."
The buzzard told the monkey "You are chokin' me
"Release your hold, and I will set you free"
The monkey looked the buzzard right dead in the eye
And said "Your story's so touching but it sounds like a lie"
Straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and stay right
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down papa don't you blow your top
[Interlude]
Straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and stay right
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down papa don't you blow your top
Ain't no use in divin'
What's the use of jivin'
You better, straighten up and fly right
Cool down papa don't you blow your top
Fly right
Avalon lyrics - Natalie Cole
I found my love at Avalon
Beside the bay
I left my love at Avalon
And sailed away
I dream of him at Avalon
From dusk until dawn
And so I think I'll travel on
To Av-va-lon
Yes I found my love at Avalon
Beside the bay
I left my love at Avalon
And sailed away
Oh I, dream of him at Avalon
From dusk until dawn
And so I think I'll travel on
To Av...va-lon...
Beside the bay
I left my love at Avalon
And sailed away
I dream of him at Avalon
From dusk until dawn
And so I think I'll travel on
To Av-va-lon
Yes I found my love at Avalon
Beside the bay
I left my love at Avalon
And sailed away
Oh I, dream of him at Avalon
From dusk until dawn
And so I think I'll travel on
To Av...va-lon...
Don't Get Around Much Anymore lyrics - Natalie Cole
Missed the Saturday dance
Heard they crowded the floor
Couldn't bear it without you
Don't get around much anymore
Thought I'd visit the club
Got as far as the door
They'd have asked me about you
Don't get around much anymore
Darling, I guess my mind's more at ease
But nevertheless, why stir up memories
Been invited on dates
Might have gone but what for
Awfully different without you
Don't get around much anymore
Heard they crowded the floor
Couldn't bear it without you
Don't get around much anymore
Thought I'd visit the club
Got as far as the door
They'd have asked me about you
Don't get around much anymore
Darling, I guess my mind's more at ease
But nevertheless, why stir up memories
Been invited on dates
Might have gone but what for
Awfully different without you
Don't get around much anymore
Too Young lyrics - Natalie Cole
They tried to tell us we're too young
Too young to really be in love
They say that loves a word
A word we've only heard
But can't begin to know
The meaning of
And yet we're not too young to know
This love will last though years may go
And then some day they may recall
We were not too young at all
And yet we're not too young to know
That this love will last though years may go
And then some day they may recall
We were not too young at all
Too young to really be in love
They say that loves a word
A word we've only heard
But can't begin to know
The meaning of
And yet we're not too young to know
This love will last though years may go
And then some day they may recall
We were not too young at all
And yet we're not too young to know
That this love will last though years may go
And then some day they may recall
We were not too young at all
Nature Boy lyrics - Natalie Cole
There was a boy...
A very strange enchanted boy
They say he wondered very far, very far
Over land and sea
A little shy and sad of eye
But very wise was he
And then one day
One magic day, passed my way
And as we spoke of many things,
Fools and kings,
This he said to me
"The greatest thing you'll ever learn
is just to love and be loved in return"
"The greatest thing you'll ever learn
is just to love and be loved in return"
A very strange enchanted boy
They say he wondered very far, very far
Over land and sea
A little shy and sad of eye
But very wise was he
And then one day
One magic day, passed my way
And as we spoke of many things,
Fools and kings,
This he said to me
"The greatest thing you'll ever learn
is just to love and be loved in return"
"The greatest thing you'll ever learn
is just to love and be loved in return"

Almost Like Being In Love lyrics - Natalie Cole
What a day this has been
What a rare mood I'm in
Why it's almost like being in love
There's a smile on my face
For the whole human race
Why it's almost like being in love
there's a music of life; seems to be
Like a bell that is ringing for me
And from the way that I feel
When that bell starts to peel
I would swear I was falling, swear I was falling
- It's almost like being in love
[Instrumental]
The music of life seems to be
Like a bell that is ringing just for me
And from the way that I feel
When that bell starts to peel
I would swear i was falling, swear I was falling
- It's almost like being in love
What a rare mood I'm in
Why it's almost like being in love
There's a smile on my face
For the whole human race
Why it's almost like being in love
there's a music of life; seems to be
Like a bell that is ringing for me
And from the way that I feel
When that bell starts to peel
I would swear I was falling, swear I was falling
- It's almost like being in love
[Instrumental]
The music of life seems to be
Like a bell that is ringing just for me
And from the way that I feel
When that bell starts to peel
I would swear i was falling, swear I was falling
- It's almost like being in love
Thou Swell lyrics - Natalie Cole
Thou swell, thou witty, thou sweet, thou grand
Wouldst kiss me pretty? Wouldst hold my hand?
Both thine eyes are cute too, what they do to me
Hear me holler, I choose a sweet lollapaloosa in thee
I'd feel so rich in a hut for two
Two rooms and kitchen I'm sure would do
Give me just a plot of, not a lot of land
And thou swell, thou witty, thou grand
Wouldst kiss me pretty? Wouldst hold my hand?
Both thine eyes are cute too, what they do to me
Hear me holler, I choose a sweet lollapaloosa in thee
I'd feel so rich in a hut for two
Two rooms and kitchen I'm sure would do
Give me just a plot of, not a lot of land
And thou swell, thou witty, thou grand
Non Dimenticar lyrics - Natalie Cole
Non Dimenticar,
Means don't forget your
my darling
don't forget to be
all you mean to me
Non Dimenticar,
My love is like a star
my darling
Shining bright and clean
just because you're here
please do not forget
That our lips have meant
and I've held you tightly
Was it dreams or though
my heart felt is ...
or just a night here
Non Dimenticar,
although you travel far
my darling
it's my heart you owe
so I'll wait alone
Non Dimenticar...
Means don't forget your
my darling
don't forget to be
all you mean to me
Non Dimenticar,
My love is like a star
my darling
Shining bright and clean
just because you're here
please do not forget
That our lips have meant
and I've held you tightly
Was it dreams or though
my heart felt is ...
or just a night here
Non Dimenticar,

so I'll wait alone
Non Dimenticar...
Our Love Is Here To Stay lyrics - Natalie Cole
It's very clear
Our love is here to stay
Not for a year
But ever and a day
The radio, and the telephone
And the movies that we know
May just be passing fancies
And in time may go...
But, oh, my dear
Our love is here to stay
Together we're
Going a long, long way
In time the Rockies may tumble
Gibraltar may crumble
They're only made of clay
But, our love is here
To stay
In time the Rockies may tumble
Gibraltar may crumble
They're only made of clay
But, our love is here
Our love is here
Our love is here to stay
Our love is here to stay
Not for a year
But ever and a day
The radio, and the telephone
And the movies that we know
May just be passing fancies
And in time may go...
But, oh, my dear
Our love is here to stay
Together we're
Going a long, long way
In time the Rockies may tumble
Gibraltar may crumble
They're only made of clay
But, our love is here
To stay
In time the Rockies may tumble
Gibraltar may crumble
They're only made of clay
But, our love is here
Our love is here
Our love is here to stay
Unforgettable lyrics - Natalie Cole
Unforgettable, that's what you are
Unforgettable, though near or far
Like a song of love that clings to me
How the thought of you does things to me
Never before has someone been more
Unforgettable in every way
And forevermore (and forevermore)
That's how you'll stay (that's how you'll stay)
That's why darling, it's incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable too
[Musical interlude]
No, never before has someone been more
Ooh unforgettable (unforgettable)
In every way (in every way)
And forevermore (and forevermore)
That's how you'll stay (that's how you'll stay)
That's why darling it's incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable too.
Unforgettable, though near or far
Like a song of love that clings to me
How the thought of you does things to me
Never before has someone been more
Unforgettable in every way
And forevermore (and forevermore)
That's how you'll stay (that's how you'll stay)
That's why darling, it's incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable too

And forevermore (and forevermore)
That's how you'll stay (that's how you'll stay)

Safe lyric - Natalie Cole
She broke your heart
You fell apart
Boy, you didn't know what hit ya
You never thought that you'd get caught
Doing it again
Now, did ya?
So hard to get so cool and yet
You're lovin' it and you know it
Cause when we meet
We feel the heat
Trying so hard not to show it
In the arms of romance
You say you'll never go back, no way
Just when you thought it was safe
That you could never fall in love again
Just when you thought it was safe
Look what I got'cha thinkin' of again
It took a while to make you smile
Boy, you didn't know what hit ya
Hard as you try, you can't deny
That you're ready now
Would I kid ya?
So take the reins and break the chains
No, you can't hold back forever
You're in control, you're on a roll
And the timing won't get no better
In the arms of romance
You say you'll never go back, no way
Just when you thought it was safe
That you could never fall in love again
Just when you thought it was safe
Look what I got'cha thinkin' of again
It's not a crime to change your mind
People do
It's not so bad, it's easy to
You never know when love will show you the way
You don't belong to yesterday
Just when (oh boy) you thought it was safe
You didn't know what hit ya
Now, did ya?
Ha, ha, ha, yeah, yeah, oh baby
I got'cha thinkin'
Now didn't I, now didn't I
Now didn't I, boy?
Trying hard to be cool
But my love's getting through
You're in trouble
I bet'cha my love is surely gonna get'cha, baby
Just when you thought it was safe
You've been runnin' and hidin'
Slippin' and a-slidin' no more
Just when you thought it was safe
It's not safe
That you could never fall in love again
Just when you thought it was safe
You're in love
Look what I got'cha thinkin' of again
I got'cha thinkin' now, didn't I?
Now I got'cha wonderin', now don't I?
Oh, I got'cha thinkin'
I got'cha thinkin'
My love is gonna get'cha
Looks like my love is getting through
You fell apart
Boy, you didn't know what hit ya
You never thought that you'd get caught
Doing it again
Now, did ya?
So hard to get so cool and yet
You're lovin' it and you know it
Cause when we meet
We feel the heat
Trying so hard not to show it
In the arms of romance
You say you'll never go back, no way
Just when you thought it was safe
That you could never fall in love again
Just when you thought it was safe
Look what I got'cha thinkin' of again
It took a while to make you smile
Boy, you didn't know what hit ya
Hard as you try, you can't deny
That you're ready now

So take the reins and break the chains
No, you can't hold back forever
You're in control, you're on a roll

Just when (oh boy) you thought it was safe
You didn't know what hit ya
Now, did ya?
Ha, ha, ha, yeah, yeah, oh baby
I got'cha thinkin'
Now didn't I, now didn't I
Now didn't I, boy?
Trying hard to be cool
But my love's getting through
You're in trouble
I bet'cha my love is surely gonna get'cha, baby
Just when you thought it was safe
You've been runnin' and hidin'
Slippin' and a-slidin' no more
Just when you thought it was safe
It's not safe
That you could never fall in love again
Just when you thought it was safe
You're in love
Look what I got'cha thinkin' of again
I got'cha thinkin' now, didn't I?
Now I got'cha wonderin', now don't I?
Oh, I got'cha thinkin'
I got'cha thinkin'
My love is gonna get'cha
Looks like my love is getting through
As A Matter Of Fact lyrics - Natalie Cole
Blow daddy, oh, yeah
Here we are, standing at the hard line
We made it last this long
The two of us, together since the first time
And I believe our love is still strong
Seems love has a funny way
Well, it can come or go or it can choose to stay
But love says what it has to say
Matter of fact
(Ooh, as a matter of fact)
I love you
(Oh, as a matter of fact)
And I love that you love me back
As a matter of fact
(Ooh, as a matter, a matter)
Some said we wouldn't make it this far
But they don't talk no more
(No more)
The love we share is precious as a big star
And what we have's what others hope for
Seems love has a funny way
Well, it can come or go or it can choose to stay
But love says what it has to say
Matter of fact
(Ooh, as a matter of fact)
I need you

Rest Of The Night lyrics - Natalie Cole
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh, yeah
Baby, what's your hurry
Where are you going so fast
You can keep your motor runnin'
But don't run out of gas
Getting there is half the fun
Cause you've got the rest of the night to hold me
And the best of my love's yet to come (yet to come)
For the rest of my life I'm gonna love you
So take a little longer, my love can only get stronger
(Stronger, stronger)
If we're gonna climb a mountain
We gotta take our sweet time
When you're traveling down love's highway
Don't you know speeding is a crime
Listen, getting there is half the fun
Cause you've got the rest of the night to hold me
And the best of my love's yet to come (yet to come)
For the rest of my life I'm gonna love you
So take a little longer
My love can only get stronger (stronger, stronger)
Oh, my Baby, we gotta slow down (ooh)
Take your time, ease your mind (oh, Baby, mmm)
Stronger, rest of my life, I'm gonna love you
So just take a little longer, and our love is gonna get stronger
(Cause you've got the rest of the night) oh---, yeah
(And the best of my love) yet to come (yet to come)
Oh, baby, for (rest of my life) I'm gonna love you
I want you to take your time
Love me baby, love me baby, love me, love me (rest of my life)
Slow down baby, I ain't going no where (best of my love)
So why don't we just take our sweet time (rest of my life)
Don't rush me, you're gonna crush me, let the feeling come
Oh, remember that song about a slow hand (rest of the night)
Now she had the right idea (oh--)
So, Baby, what's the hurry, (best of my love)
we've got forever
If we don't use it up too fast (oh, ah--)
Take it slow, calm down, smell the roses
We'll get there, don't you worry
(Rest of the night, to hold me) (best of my love, yet to come...)
Oh, yeah
Baby, what's your hurry
Where are you going so fast
You can keep your motor runnin'
But don't run out of gas
Getting there is half the fun
Cause you've got the rest of the night to hold me
And the best of my love's yet to come (yet to come)
For the rest of my life I'm gonna love you
So take a little longer, my love can only get stronger

Miss You Like Crazy lyrics - Natalie Cole
Even though it's been so long
My love for you keeps going strong
I remember the things that we used to do
A kiss in the rain till the sun shine through
I tried to deny it but I'm still in love with you
I miss you like crazy, I miss you like crazy
Ever since you went away, every hour of every day
I miss you like crazy, I miss you like crazy
No matter what I say or do
There's just no getting over you
I can see the love shining in your eyes
And it comes as such a sweet surprise
If seeing's believing it's worth the wait
So hold me and tell me it's not too late
We're so good together, we're starting forever now
And I miss you like crazy, I miss you like crazy
Ever since you went away, every hour of every day
I miss you like crazy, I miss you baby
A love like ours will never end
Just touch me and we're there again
Just one night
And we'll have that magic feeling like we used to do
Hold on tight
And whatever comes our way we're gonna make it through
If seeing's believing it's worth the wait
So hold me and tell me it's not too late
We're so good together, we're starting forever now
And I miss you like crazy, I miss you like crazy
No matter what I say or do
There's just no getting over you
And I miss you, baby, I miss you, baby
All the tender love you gave me
When a feeling gets this strong
You know the real thing come along
And I miss you
I miss you like crazy baby
Only your sweet love can save me
I miss you like crazy
A love like ours will never end
Just touch me and we're there again
Miss you like crazy, I miss you like crazy
My love for you keeps going strong
I remember the things that we used to do
A kiss in the rain till the sun shine through
I tried to deny it but I'm still in love with you
I miss you like crazy, I miss you like crazy
Ever since you went away, every hour of every day
I miss you like crazy, I miss you like crazy
No matter what I say or do
There's just no getting over you
I can see the love shining in your eyes
And it comes as such a sweet surprise
If seeing's believing it's worth the wait
So hold me and tell me it's not too late
We're so good together, we're starting forever now
And I miss you like crazy, I miss you like crazy
Ever since you went away, every hour of every day
I miss you like crazy, I miss you baby
A love like ours will never end
Just touch me and we're there again
Just one night
And we'll have that magic feeling like we used to do
Hold on tight
And whatever comes our way we're gonna make it through
If seeing's believing it's worth the wait
So hold me and tell me it's not too late

I miss you like crazy
A love like ours will never end
Just touch me and we're there again
Miss you like crazy, I miss you like crazy
Good To Be Back lyrics - Natalie Cole
Let me look at you, just look at you
You're a sight for sore eyes, yes you are
If you knew how many nights, I spent holding you so tight
Then I'd wake up and we're still apart
Now you're really near and I'm really here
And I can wrap my arms around you, yes I can
This is just like I remember, no I think it's even better
Maybe even more than I can stand
Baby it's good to be back, so good to be back
Baby it's good to be back in your arms again
Baby it's good to be back, so good to be back
Honey it's good to be back with you, oh yeah
Well it's not the first time, we've been apart
But as far as I'm concerned it's the last
I don't care what we have to do to stay together from now on
But those days away from you are past
'Cause when I go through the day and I haven't seen your face
Seems like nothing that I do feels right
You're the one I wanna see when I wake up every day
You're the one I wanna kiss goodnight
Baby it's good to be back, so good to be back
Baby it's good to be back in your arms again
Baby it's good to be back, so good to be back
Honey it's good to be back with you
So good, so good, so good
So good, so good with you, baby
So good with you
Why don't you start me up with just one kiss
That's just one of the things I've missed
You better kiss me once again till it finally settles in
Well I think I could get used to this
Baby it's good to be back, so good to be back
Baby it's good to be back in your arms again
Baby it's good to be back, so good to be back
Honey it's good to be back with you
Baby it's good to be back, feels mighty good to be back
Baby it's good to be back with you
Baby it's good to be back, so good to be back
Honey it's good to be back with you
And it's so good to be back, oh yeah good to be back
Baby, its good to be back in you're arms again
And it's so good to be back, so good to be back
Honey it's good to be back with you
You're a sight for sore eyes, yes you are
If you knew how many nights, I spent holding you so tight
Then I'd wake up and we're still apart
Now you're really near and I'm really here
And I can wrap my arms around you, yes I can
This is just like I remember, no I think it's even better
Maybe even more than I can stand
Baby it's good to be back, so good to be back
Baby it's good to be back in your arms again
Baby it's good to be back, so good to be back
Honey it's good to be back with you, oh yeah
Well it's not the first time, we've been apart
But as far as I'm concerned it's the last
I don't care what we have to do to stay together from now on
But those days away from you are past
'Cause when I go through the day and I haven't seen your face
Seems like nothing that I do feels right
You're the one I wanna see when I wake up every day
You're the one I wanna kiss goodnight
Baby it's good to be back, so good to be back
Baby it's good to be back in your arms again
Baby it's good to be back, so good to be back
Honey it's good to be back with you
So good, so good, so good
So good, so good with you, baby
So good with you
Why don't you start me up with just one kiss
That's just one of the things I've missed
You better kiss me once again till it finally settles in
Well I think I could get used to this
Baby it's good to be back, so good to be back
Baby it's good to be back in your arms again
Baby it's good to be back, so good to be back
Honey it's good to be back with you
Baby it's good to be back, feels mighty good to be back
Baby it's good to be back with you
Baby it's good to be back, so good to be back
Honey it's good to be back with you
And it's so good to be back, oh yeah good to be back
Baby, its good to be back in you're arms again
And it's so good to be back, so good to be back
Honey it's good to be back with you
Gonna Make You Mine lyrics - Natalie Cole
Since the time we met never shall forget
The magic feeling when I look in your eyes
Every now and then I see you again
But the words never come out right
I've always been painfully shy
I hide what I feel inside
Tonight I
(Never let you get away)
Open my heart
(Invite you in to stay)
I need you
(More than words can say)
And I hope you feel the same
Gonna make you mine, I'll make you mine
You've captured my heart
And I won't take no for an answer
Gonna make you mine, I'll make you mine
Hope that there's a chance, baby
That we can get together
'Cause I
(Gonna make you mine)
Gonna make you see
(Gonna make you mine)
You were meant for me
(Gonna make you mine)
I wanna love you endlessly
Many times before I would just ignore
Love when it came around and knocked on my door
Keeping to myself, trusting no one else
I've put my heart out of reach on a shelf
With you I can't pass up this chance
For a once in a lifetime romance
'Cause after all
(Someone said it very plain)
When it comes to love
(No pain, no gain)
I think I'll
(Take a chance on you)
And you know I play to win
I'm gonna make you mine, I'll make you mine
You've captured my heart
And I won't take no for an answer
Gonna make you mine, I'll make you mine
Hope that there's a chance, honey
That we can get together
'Cause I
(Gonna make you mine)
Gonna make you see
(Gonna make you mine)
You were meant for me
(Gonna make you mine)
I wanna love you endlessly, yeah
Oh, I'm looking for one lifetime romance
(Someone said it very plain)
I'll think I'll
(No pain, no gain)
Take a chance on you
(Take a chance on you)
Ooh, 'cause you know I play to win, baby
(Gonna make you mine)
I'll make you mine
You've captured my heart
And I won't take no for an answer
(Gonna make you mine)
I'm gonna make you mine
I believe there's a chance that
We can get together
'Cause I
(Gonna make you mine)
Gonna make you see
(Gonna make you mine)
You were meant for me
(Gonna make you mine)
I gonna love you endlessly
(Gonna make you mine, I'll make you mine)
I'm gonna make you mine
And I won't take no for answer
(Gonna make you mine, I'll make you mine)
Oh, you've captured my heart
I know that we can get together, together, together
(Gonna make you mine, I'll make you mine)
I'm gonna make you and I'm gonna love you

Starting Over Again lyrics - Natalie Cole
And when I hold you in my arms, I promise you
You're gonna feel a love that's beautiful and new
This time, I'll love you even better
Than I ever did before
And you'll be in my heart forever more
We were just too young to know
We fell in love and let it go
So easy to say the words goodbye
So hard to let the feelings die
I know how much I need you now
The time is turning back somehow
As soon as our heart and souls unite
I know for sure we'll get the feeling right
And now we're starting over again
It's not the easiest thing to do
I'm feeling inside again
'Cause every time I look at you
I know we're starting over again
This time we'll love all the pain away
Welcome home, my lover and friend
We are starting over, over again
If we never lived alone
Then we might have never known
All the time we spent apart
All we did was break each other's heart
And when I hold you in my arms, I promise you
You're gonna feel a love that's beautiful and new
This time, I'll love you even better
Than I ever did before
And you'll be in my heart forever more
And now we're starting over again
It's not the easiest thing to do
I'm feeling inside again
'Cause every time I look at you
I know we're starting over again
This time we'll love all the pain away
Welcome home, my lover and friend
We are starting over, over again
This time we'll chase all the rain away
Welcome home, my lover and friend
We are starting over, over again
We are starting over, over again
You're gonna feel a love that's beautiful and new
This time, I'll love you even better
Than I ever did before
And you'll be in my heart forever more
We were just too young to know
We fell in love and let it go
So easy to say the words goodbye
So hard to let the feelings die
I know how much I need you now
The time is turning back somehow
As soon as our heart and souls unite
I know for sure we'll get the feeling right
And now we're starting over again
It's not the easiest thing to do
I'm feeling inside again
'Cause every time I look at you
I know we're starting over again
This time we'll love all the pain away
Welcome home, my lover and friend
We are starting over, over again
If we never lived alone
Then we might have never known
All the time we spent apart

Don't Mention My Heartache lyrics - Natalie Cole
Hoo, hoo, mm
Don't mention my heartache
I just hide it away
Don't want to remember what brings me pain
Who does it hurt if I'm masquerading
When anybody asks me you know I'll say, yeah
That I love him, he loves me
We're so good together
I'll pretend he's home again
Though he's gone forever
Don't mention my heartache
'Cause I don't want nobody to know, no, no, no
Just keep it a secret that he let me go
'Cause I don't want nobody to know
That I go through the motions (motions)
Put a smile on my face, yes, I do
I heard that the weather is changing today, yeah, yeah
And I don't talk about my business to noone
If anybody asks me you know what I'll say, yeah
That I love him; he loves me, we're so good together
I'll pretend he's home again, though he's gone forever
Don't mention my heartache
'Cause I don't want nobody to know, oh, no
Just keep it a secret that he let me go
'Cause I don't want nobody to know--
Oh, oh, oh, oh, hoo--
That the heartache that I'm feeling makes me lonely, oh---
Don't mention my heartache
'Cause I don't want nobody to know, no, no
Just keep it a secret that he let me go
And I don't want nobody to know, nobody
(Can't talk about it)
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
(Don't want to think about it)
And I don't want nobody, I got a heartache
I don't want nobody, I don't want nobody, I got a heartache
(Don't mention my heartache)
I got a heartache, he let me go
It's a sweet face, yes, it is
Don't want nobody, can't stand nobody
(Don't mention my heartache)
And I got to keep it a secret
(I'm minding my business)
'Cause my man, 'cause my man
Ain't my man no more
Keeping it a secret (don't mention my heartache)
Keeping it a secret, oh, all to myself, he let me go...
Don't mention my heartache
I just hide it away
Don't want to remember what brings me pain
Who does it hurt if I'm masquerading
When anybody asks me you know I'll say, yeah
That I love him, he loves me
We're so good together
I'll pretend he's home again
Though he's gone forever
Don't mention my heartache
'Cause I don't want nobody to know, no, no, no
Just keep it a secret that he let me go

(Don't want to think about it)
And I don't want nobody, I got a heartache
I don't want nobody, I don't want nobody, I got a heartache
(Don't mention my heartache)
I got a heartache, he let me go
It's a sweet face, yes, it is
Don't want nobody, can't stand nobody
(Don't mention my heartache)
And I got to keep it a secret
(I'm minding my business)
'Cause my man, 'cause my man
Ain't my man no more
Keeping it a secret (don't mention my heartache)
Keeping it a secret, oh, all to myself, he let me go...
Someone's Rockin' My Dreamboat lyrics - Natalie Cole
Someone's rockin' my dreamboat
Someone's invading my dream
We were sailing along all peaceful and calm
Then suddenly, something went wrong
Someone's rockin' my dreamboat
Disturbing a beautiful dream
It's a mystery to me, this mutiny at sea
Tell me, who can it be?
A friendly breeze gave us a start
To a paradise of our own
All at once a storm blew us apart
And left me drifting all alone
Someone's rockin' my dreamboat
I'm a captain without a crew
But with love as my guide, I'll follow the tide
I'll keep sailing 'til I find you
Yes, I'll keep sailing 'til I find you
Sailing
(Someone's rockin', someone's rockin')
Gonna keep sailing
(Someone's rockin', someone's rockin')
Someone's rockin' my dreamboat
(Someone's rockin' my dreamboat)
Disturbing my dream
(Someone's rockin' my dreamboat)
Tell me, tell me, who can it be?
Tryin' to understand this mutiny at sea
Yeah, someone is rockin', rockin'
(Someone's rockin', someone's rockin')
Simply, rockin', rockin' my dreamboat
(Someone's rockin', someone's rockin')
Well, I keep on sailing
(Someone's rockin', someone's rockin')
Gonna keep on wailing
(Someone's rockin', someone's rockin')
'Cause someone's is rockin' my dreamboat
(Someone's rockin' my dreamboat)
[?]
(Someone's rockin' my dreamboat)
Get out, get out, get out, get out, get out of my dreamboat
(Someone's rockin', someone's rockin')
Get out of my dreamboat
(Someone's rockin', someone's rockin')
Someone's rockin' my dreamboat
Someone's rockin' my dreamboat
Someone's rockin', someone' rockin'
Someone's rockin', someone's rockin'
Out of my dream, get out of my dream
(Someone's rockin' my dreamboat)
Get out of my, out of my, out of my, no, no
Someone's invading my dream
We were sailing along all peaceful and calm
Then suddenly, something went wrong
Someone's rockin' my dreamboat
Disturbing a beautiful dream
It's a mystery to me, this mutiny at sea
Tell me, who can it be?
A friendly breeze gave us a start
To a paradise of our own
All at once a storm blew us apart
And left me drifting all alone
Someone's rockin' my dreamboat
I'm a captain without a crew
But with love as my guide, I'll follow the tide
I'll keep sailing 'til I find you
Yes, I'll keep sailing 'til I find you
Sailing
(Someone's rockin', someone's rockin')
Gonna keep sailing
(Someone's rockin', someone's rockin')
Someone's rockin' my dreamboat
(Someone's rockin' my dreamboat)
Disturbing my dream
(Someone's rockin' my dreamboat)
Tell me, tell me, who can it be?
Tryin' to understand this mutiny at sea
Yeah, someone is rockin', rockin'
(Someone's rockin', someone's rockin')
Simply, rockin', rockin' my dreamboat
(Someone's rockin', someone's rockin')
Well, I keep on sailing

Gonna keep on wailing
(Someone's rockin', someone's rockin')
'Cause someone's is rockin' my dreamboat
(Someone's rockin' my dreamboat)
[?]
(Someone's rockin' my dreamboat)
Get out, get out, get out, get out, get out of my dreamboat
(Someone's rockin', someone's rockin')
Get out of my dreamboat
(Someone's rockin', someone's rockin')
Someone's rockin' my dreamboat
Someone's rockin' my dreamboat
Someone's rockin', someone' rockin'
Someone's rockin', someone's rockin'
Out of my dream, get out of my dream
(Someone's rockin' my dreamboat)
Get out of my, out of my, out of my, no, no
Everlasting lyrics - Natalie Cole
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Woah, ho ho
Everlasting, what a feeling
Just to know the love we've got is
Everlasting and never ending
Is all I need to keep on givin'
I was just an average girl
Playing the field, hoping
For someone to come into my world
Someone not afraid to look into my eyes
And make a connection
Then you walked in my direction
And from the moment that we touched
I knew what we found was
Everlasting, what a feeling
Just to know the love we've got is
Everlasting and never ending
Is all I need to keep on givin'
Walking down a one way street
I had to be careful
'Cause it seemed that every guy that I'd meet
Was looking just to have another one night stand
But through your devotion
I surrendered my emotion
I'm giving you the best of me
'Cause I'm sure that we'll be
Everlasting, what a feeling
Just to know the love we've got is
Everlasting and never ending
Is all I need to keep on givin'
Everlasting love, oh yeah
It's gonna be, it's gonna be a
Everlasting love, uh, ha
Even though the cold wind's blowin'
Nothing keeps our love from growin'
Through the fire we will survive together
Until the end of time
Everlasting, what a feeling
Just to know the love we've got is
Everlasting and never ending
Is all I need to keep on givin'
Everlasting, what a feeling
Our love's gonna grow
Even through the fire, baby
Everlasting and never ending
Even though the cold wind's blowin'
Nothing keeps our love from growing
Through the fire we will survive together
Until the end of time
Everlasting, what a feeling
It's gonna be, it's gonna be a
Everlasting and never ending
Until the end of time
And even through the fire, baby
Everlasting, what a feeling
Just to know that the love we've got is
Everlasting and never ending
What a feeling
Everlasting love, woah
Everlasting love, woah
Everlasting love, woah
Everlasting love, woah
Woah, ho ho
Everlasting, what a feeling
Just to know the love we've got is
Everlasting and never ending

Jump Start lyrics - Natalie Cole
Alright Paul, oh, oh, oh
Uh, oh, uh, oh, oh, oh
Hey, hey, ooh, yeah
Feels like my battery's in need of a jump
Our love is running down, done fell into a slump
Give me a spark to get the fire burning
A get my engine movin', set these wheels a turnin'
Our love could use some rejuvenation
You bring the wine, I'll bring the sweet conversation
Romance is here to stay
I'll testify 'cause I need some today
So won'tcha jump start my heart
Charge me up when I'm runnin' down
Oh, jump start my heart
Lift my feet up off the ground
When it comes to lovin', baby can't get enough
Hot wire me satisfy me, don't give me up
Turn on the heat on a cold winter's morning
Don't let the seasons change and nature catch me callin'
Can't let this feelin' just slip away
Our love was meant to last forever and a day
We can't neglect what we cherish the most
So drop your foolish pride 'cause I need you more and more
(Nothing good comes easily)
Ooh, we've got to work it 'til we get it right
(You see I love you so)
I'll, I'll never let you go

The Urge To Merge lyrics - Natalie Cole
Though I think I really know you
And you think you know me
And we're as close at two people
Could ever hope to be
Still I can't escape the feeling
That no matter what I do
I'll never understand what it feels like to be you
I get the urge to know you better
To make our spirits one
I want to see us be together
As close as we can come
I get the urge to merge
I get the urge to merge with you
I get the urge to merge
I get the urge to merge with you
Have you ever wanted something
You just had to possess
And it turned into obsession
And wouldn't let you rest
There are times I can't help wishing
I could melt right into you
Hear every word you're thinking
Feel everything you do
I feel trapped inside my body
And there's nothing I can do
Want to leap across the wall
That's keeping me from you
To break what can't be broken
To say what can't be spoken
If only for a moment
To touch your soul
I get the urge to know you better
And you think you know me
And we're as close at two people
Could ever hope to be
Still I can't escape the feeling
That no matter what I do
I'll never understand what it feels like to be you
I get the urge to know you better
To make our spirits one
I want to see us be together
As close as we can come
I get the urge to merge
I get the urge to merge with you
I get the urge to merge
I get the urge to merge with you
Have you ever wanted something
You just had to possess
And it turned into obsession
And wouldn't let you rest
There are times I can't help wishing
I could melt right into you
Hear every word you're thinking
Feel everything you do
I feel trapped inside my body
And there's nothing I can do
Want to leap across the wall
That's keeping me from you
To break what can't be broken
To say what can't be spoken
If only for a moment
To touch your soul
I get the urge to know you better
Split Decision lyrics - Natalie Cole
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Oh, yeah
Doo, doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Mm, hmm
Who's gonna take the blame tomorrow
If we break up tonight?
If we break up
Who's gonna stop this stupid war?
That nobody's gonna win
The jury's still out on us
Split decision, split in two
By the things that came between us
So, unimportant now
All of those fights
Why do we always hurt the ones
We care the most about?
The jury's still out on us
Split decision, split in two
By the things that happened
And the dreams that came apart
Do you still want me in your life
I need to know so tell me?
Can we still make it in this life
Or is it too late for us?
How long is time about to wait?
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Hoo
Who's gonna say they're sorry first
And put this hurt away?
The jury's still out on us
Split decision, split in
It's not so easy putting back the pieces
Of a broken heart
Getting back where we started
Oh, no, oh, no
It's not so easy picking up the pieces
Of a broken heart
And get it back
(Get it back)
Get it back where we started
(Where we started)
Oh, oh, oh, no but if we hold on
We
(But if we hold on, we can try to make it)
Can try to make it and get it back
(Maybe mend this heart)
Where we started
(Get it back where we started)
Oh, oh, oh it's not so easy
(It's not so easy)
Picking up the iddy bitty pieces
(Picking up the pieces)
(Of a broken heart)
Get it back
(Get it back where we started)
Get it back where we started
But if we hold on
(If we hold on)
We're gonna make it
(We can try to make it)
(Maybe mend this heart)
Get it back where we started
Oh, yeah
Doo, doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Mm, hmm
Who's gonna take the blame tomorrow
If we break up tonight?
If we break up
Who's gonna stop this stupid war?
That nobody's gonna win
The jury's still out on us
Split decision, split in two
By the things that came between us
So, unimportant now
All of those fights
Why do we always hurt the ones
We care the most about?
The jury's still out on us
Split decision, split in two
By the things that happened
And the dreams that came apart
Do you still want me in your life
I need to know so tell me?
Can we still make it in this life
Or is it too late for us?
How long is time about to wait?
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Hoo
Who's gonna say they're sorry first

Of a broken heart

When I Fall In Love lyrics - Natalie Cole
(originally by Doris Day)
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I fall in love with you.
When I fall in love it will be forever
Or I'll never fall in love
In a restless world like this is
Love is ended before it's begun
And too many moonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun
When I give my heart it will be completely (Completely)
Or I'll never give my heart (Give my heart)
And the moment
I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I fall in love (When I fall in love) with you
Oh, this love feels so right.
(When... I give my heart)
When I give my heart, it will be completely
(Completely)
Or I'll never (never, never) give my heart
(Never give my heart)
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I fall in love
(When I fall in love)
Is when I fall in love with you
Ohhhh
I love you
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I fall in love with you.
When I fall in love it will be forever
Or I'll never fall in love
In a restless world like this is
Love is ended before it's begun
And too many moonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun
When I give my heart it will be completely (Completely)
Or I'll never give my heart (Give my heart)
And the moment
I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I fall in love (When I fall in love) with you
Oh, this love feels so right.
(When... I give my heart)
When I give my heart, it will be completely
(Completely)
Or I'll never (never, never) give my heart
(Never give my heart)
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I fall in love
(When I fall in love)
Is when I fall in love with you
Ohhhh
I love you
Pink Cadillac lyrics - Natalie Cole
(originally by Bruce Springsteen)
You may think I'm fooling
For the foolish things I do
You may wonder how come I love you
When you get on my nerves like you do
Well baby, you know you bug me
There ain't no secret about that
Well, come on over here and hug me
And, baby, I'll spill the facts
Well, honey it ain't your money
'Cause I got plenty of that
I love you for your pink Cadillac
Crushed velvet seats
Riding in the back, oozing down the street
Waving to the girls, peeling out of sight
Spending all my money on a Saturday night
Honey, I just wonder what you do
There in the back of your pink Cadillac
Pink Cadillac
Well, now way back in the Bible
Temptations always come along
There's always somebody tempting you
Somebody into doing something they know is wrong
Well, they tempt you, man, with silver
And they tempt you, sir, with gold
And they tempt you with the pleasures
That flesh does surely hold
They say Eve tempted Adam with an apple
Man, I ain't going for that
I know it was her pink Cadillac
Crushed velvet seats
Riding in the back, oozing down the street
Waving to the girls, peeling out of sight
Spending all my money on a Saturday night
Honey, I just wonder what you're doing
In the back of your pink Cadillac
Pink Cadillac
Now, now, now, some folks say it's too big
And uses too much gas
Some folks say that it's too old
And that it just goes too fast
Ho, but love is bigger than a Honda (Honda)
And it's bigger than a Subaru (that, too)
Hey man there's only one thing
And one car that will do
Anyway we don't have to drive it
Honey, we can park it out in back
And have a party in your pink Cadillac
Crushed velvet seats
Riding in the back, oozing down the street
Waving to the girls, peeling out of sight
Spending all my money on a Saturday night
Honey, I just wonder what you do there
In the back of your pink Cadillac
You know the one I mean, Le Car
You may think I'm fooling
For the foolish things I do
You may wonder how come I love you
When you get on my nerves like you do
Well baby, you know you bug me
There ain't no secret about that
Well, come on over here and hug me
And, baby, I'll spill the facts
Well, honey it ain't your money
'Cause I got plenty of that
I love you for your pink Cadillac
Crushed velvet seats
Riding in the back, oozing down the street
Waving to the girls, peeling out of sight
Spending all my money on a Saturday night
Honey, I just wonder what you do
There in the back of your pink Cadillac
Pink Cadillac

I Live For Your Love lyrics - Natalie Cole
Stand up, stand on your own
That's what they tell me
You can make it alone
Where does it say I have to move
Far away from you
To prove I'm strong
Oh when, all it really proves
Is I'm lonely without you
And loneliness has to be wrong
I live for your love
Every minute
I live for your love
want you in it
I live for your love
I admit it
I live for your love
I wake up, with noone to kiss
Sometimes I wonder (wonder, wonder)
If I just exists
I know there are people I can see
Places I can be
And friends who call
Oh but, what good does it do
There's no subsitute for you
I want you, or nothing at all
I live for your love
Every minute
I live for your love
want you in it
I live for your love
I admit it
I live for your love and your kisses
You know how I miss it
Your sweet tender touch
I need you soo much that I just can't go on anymore
What I wouldn't give for
Cause darling
I live for your love
My baby, baby yeah
I live for your love, oooohhh
That's what they tell me
You can make it alone
Where does it say I have to move
Far away from you
To prove I'm strong
Oh when, all it really proves
Is I'm lonely without you
And loneliness has to be wrong
I live for your love
Every minute
I live for your love
want you in it
I live for your love
I admit it
I live for your love
I wake up, with noone to kiss
Sometimes I wonder (wonder, wonder)
If I just exists
I know there are people I can see
Places I can be
And friends who call
Oh but, what good does it do
There's no subsitute for you
I want you, or nothing at all
I live for your love
Every minute
I live for your love
want you in it
I live for your love
I admit it
I live for your love and your kisses
You know how I miss it
Your sweet tender touch
I need you soo much that I just can't go on anymore
What I wouldn't give for
Cause darling
I live for your love
My baby, baby yeah

Ya yeh ya, hey-ey ya
Oh, woh, woh, woh, woh
Ah, ah, ah, ahh
Say goodbye to all of your friends
And the people we knew
It's better that it comes from you
Tell them what you want
'Cuz I tried so hard to make you happy
No big star dreams, no things that seem
To make up your life
So, I'm going back to New York City
Where people live
In my reality, all of my life
Yours was no good for me
Need to feel the beat of the street
In my life in my reality
Back to my life
Yours was no good for me
3000 miles away
And every day's a new day
All those dreams that pulled us apart
And the things that you want
They'll never be enough for you
So, I'll say goodbye
And I'm going back to New York City
Where people live
In my reality back to my life
Yours was no good for me

What I Must Do lyrics - Natalie Cole
What I must do to hold you in my hands
Is give you all I have and be right here with you
Something happened on the way
Something I don't want to lose
Stared my heart right in the face
Telling me the truth, telling me it to you
What I must do to hold you in my hands
Is be right here with you
I know that I need to give you all I am
And this time we make it stand, stand right here with you
Of all the things I wanted most
Here you are, the one I need
Now for all the times, I did not know
So let my love go free, now I speak
What I must do to hold you in my hands
Is be right here with you
I know that I, I need to give you all I am
And this time make it stand, stand right here with you
You are the sun, you are the rain
You are the one I'd love again
And I won't ever stop this chance to be with you
No, I won't ever stop, I know what I must do
There's one thing I must do
What I must do to hold you in my hands
Is give you all I am and be right here with you
I know that I, I need to, I need to give this all I can
And this time make it stand, stand right here with you
I'm gonna do that
I know what I must do
I know what I must do
You are the sun, you are the rain
You are the one, I must do
'Cause you are my life, you are my love
I know what I must do
And this I must do for you, I must do that
Said, I'ma gonna do that, baby
I'm gonna stand right here with you
Is give you all I have and be right here with you
Something happened on the way
Something I don't want to lose
Stared my heart right in the face
Telling me the truth, telling me it to you
What I must do to hold you in my hands
Is be right here with you
I know that I need to give you all I am
And this time we make it stand, stand right here with you
Of all the things I wanted most
Here you are, the one I need
Now for all the times, I did not know
So let my love go free, now I speak
What I must do to hold you in my hands
Is be right here with you
I know that I, I need to give you all I am
And this time make it stand, stand right here with you
You are the sun, you are the rain
You are the one I'd love again
And I won't ever stop this chance to be with you
No, I won't ever stop, I know what I must do

Dangerous lyrics - Natalie Cole
Da, da, da, da, da, da, dangerous
Da, da, da, danger, dangerous
All my friends say he's much too hot
Don't get involved, it's emotional shock
But ooh, he charges my electricity
When he puts his finger on me
I said a oh, oh, oh, you know I want you and I
And I, and I need you pretty baby
I'm in the fire, there's just no turning back
Though I know, know, know
You're dangerous
So hot and heavy, I know that I just can't resist
Ooh, dangerous
I feel my heart beat, I feel it beating faster
Ooh, ooh, too dangerous
The way you kiss me, I know I never felt like this
Oh, you're dangerous
Wild, even stranger, need a little danger
You make your move and I'm begging please
Then you're pushing me away, you know you're such a tease
One look can drive me right out of my mind
And get my heart pumping double time
And then I hear myself say you better be strong
Stay away, he's gonna do wrong
You better run girl while you've got the chance
'Cause you know, know, know
He's dangerous
So hot and heavy, I know that I just can't resist
Ooh, dangerous
I feel my heart beat, I feel it beating faster
Ooh, ooh too dangerous
The way you kiss me, I never, ever felt like this
Oh, you're dangerous
Wild, even stranger, need a little of your love
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh, oh, oh, oh
I'm in too deep and when you're close to me
I get so weak
Our bodies touch and then our hearts collide
I feel inside, emotional love exploding
Oh, dangerous
So hot and heavy I know that I just can't resist this
Ooh, dangerous
I feel my heart beat, beating a little bit faster
Ooh, ooh too dangerous
The way you kiss me, I never, ever felt like this
Oh, you're dangerous
Wild, even stranger, need a little danger
Da, da, da, danger, dangerous
All my friends say he's much too hot
Don't get involved, it's emotional shock
But ooh, he charges my electricity

And I, and I need you pretty baby
I'm in the fire, there's just no turning back

Billy The Kid Next Door lyrics - Natalie Cole
I was dressed to kill, I was ready
Oh, girl, I was stepping out, yeah
I was on my way to meet my steady
When this fine young thing turned me right around
At first I was frightened
Because he took me, he took me by surprise, whoo
But my heart knew that it was a hold-up
I could see the love light shining in his eyes
Right then I was held up
Girl, I was held up
I was held up by Billy the Kid next door
Yes, I was held up
My heart was held up
I was held up by Billy the Kid next door
The way he stole my affection
Oh, girl, you know that it ought to be a crime
Mm-hmm, and the way that he changed my direction
I had no projection
And I swear to you that I ain't lyin'
Oh-hoo, love was right here among me
I never knew that heaven could be so close
I was on my way to meet my steady
When right next door is what I needed most
Oh, I was held up
Right then I was held up
Oh, I was held up by Billy the Kid next door
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was held up
Ooh, I was held up

[Guitar Solo]
Ooh, Billy...

My heart was held up
But you know I was held up
By Billy the Kid next door
Ooh-ooh-ooh, I was held up
Yes, I was held up
Ay-I was held up by Billy the Kid next door
He drew his pistol on me
(Bang, bang, shoot 'em up)
Ow, he had a love gun

And I know he's wanted

Secrets lyrics - Natalie Cole
You've got changing faces
That never leave a clue
To those hiding faces
Locked inside of you
We made love so cool
You go running off in the night
To keep things undercover
But I saw her in the light
And I discovered your secrets
[Chorus]
Secrets in your heart
You'll hear a knock-knock at your door
Secrets in your heart
(Secrets in the dark)
We'll come a-creepin'
Secrets
There is no escape
Don't you know she'll come back to haunt you
And she will seal your fate
As my memory will taunt you
Your mysterious exhibitions
I couldn't figure out before
Until I felt her kiss upon you
She was the key that unlocked the door
Into the world of your secrets
[Repeat Chorus]
Secrets in your heart
She'll come a-knock-knocking for more
Secrets
Secrets in the dark, ooh-ooh-ooh
(Voices in the dark call out your secrets)
I wouldn't find out your secrets
Secrets in your heart
You'll hear a knock-knock at your door
Skeletons that you hide inside
Will come a-creepin'
Secrets in your heart
[Repeat Chorus with Ad-Libs and Fade]
That never leave a clue
To those hiding faces
Locked inside of you
We made love so cool
You go running off in the night
To keep things undercover
But I saw her in the light
And I discovered your secrets
[Chorus]
Secrets in your heart
You'll hear a knock-knock at your door
Secrets in your heart
(Secrets in the dark)
We'll come a-creepin'
Secrets
There is no escape
Don't you know she'll come back to haunt you
And she will seal your fate
As my memory will taunt you
Your mysterious exhibitions
I couldn't figure out before
Until I felt her kiss upon you
She was the key that unlocked the door
Into the world of your secrets
[Repeat Chorus]
Secrets in your heart
She'll come a-knock-knocking for more
Secrets
Secrets in the dark, ooh-ooh-ooh
(Voices in the dark call out your secrets)
I wouldn't find out your secrets
Secrets in your heart
You'll hear a knock-knock at your door
Skeletons that you hide inside
Will come a-creepin'
Secrets in your heart
[Repeat Chorus with Ad-Libs and Fade]
Nobody's Soldier lyrics - Natalie
Ooh... I walked away from you once before
I still see you standing at the door
Trying to find the strength to say goodbye to you
Maybe we were wrong; gotta find what's right for me
Oh yes, we were brave to go our separate ways
But these days I wonder who's gun I'm under, I am...
[Chorus]
Nobody's soldier
Marching to the rhythm of a lonely heart
I am nobody's soldier
When my battle is over, I'll be nobody's soldier
Life itself is war enough
I can't win for you, you can't lose for me
Broken hearts and dreams we left along the way
Will only gives us strength to fight another day
Maybe I just lived too hard and loved too much
But fighting win or lose, I'll be...
[Repeat Chorus]
Where do we begin to learn to love again
Find a place for me, and one day we'll be free
[Sax Solo]
When lovers part they leave their broken dreams behind
And their wounded hearts to heal, still I am...
[Repeat Chorus with Ad-Libs and Fade]
I still see you standing at the door
Trying to find the strength to say goodbye to you
Maybe we were wrong; gotta find what's right for me
Oh yes, we were brave to go our separate ways
But these days I wonder who's gun I'm under, I am...
[Chorus]
Nobody's soldier
Marching to the rhythm of a lonely heart
I am nobody's soldier
When my battle is over, I'll be nobody's soldier
Life itself is war enough
I can't win for you, you can't lose for me
Broken hearts and dreams we left along the way
Will only gives us strength to fight another day
Maybe I just lived too hard and loved too much
But fighting win or lose, I'll be...
[Repeat Chorus]
Where do we begin to learn to love again
Find a place for me, and one day we'll be free
[Sax Solo]
When lovers part they leave their broken dreams behind
And their wounded hearts to heal, still I am...
[Repeat Chorus with Ad-Libs and Fade]
Opposites Attract lyrics - Natalie Cole
Well, well, well, well, well
You're not the image of
The man that's of my dreams
We don't see eye to eye
But you got me riding high
We're incompatible astrologically
All of the signs they do agree
That it's the nature of opposites
It must be in our chemistry
(opposites attract) yeah
(something just keeps me coming back)
(opposites attract)
Something about you, baby
(this feeling keeps me coming back)
Ooh, yeah, yeah
I say it looks like sunshine
You say it looks like rain
You've got your stubborn ways, yes, you do
And you know I'll never change
In a thousand ways we disagree
But the sweet vibrations from your touch
It's the magic of the chemistry
That makes me want it
Twice as much
(opposites attract) oh, keep coming
(something just keeps me coming back)
Keep coming back, keep coming back, ooh
(opposites attract) oh, keep coming
(this feeling keeps me coming back)
Hey, yeah, yeah, woh, woh, woh, woh
Hoo, hoo, hoo, woo, woo
Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo
Ahh--

Something about you, baby

Something about you, baby

A Little Bit Of Heaven lyrics - Natalie Cole
The last guest has gone
I can tell you're as thankful as I
Good time was had by all
And a little wine, I know by that look
You've got other things on your mind
And I can't resist that sign
So turn out the lights and close the door
We need the night to be alone
Shut out the world, just let it spin
Why don't we make a little bit of heaven?
Just talk to my heart
Say the words that I want to hear
Darling, tonight I need you near
So turn out the light and close the door
We need some time to be alone
Shut out the world, just let it spin
And maybe we'll touch a little bit of heaven
Shut out the world, just let it spin
Maybe we'll touch a little bit of heaven
Heaven's right here for us
We don't need a mountain to climb, no, no, no
There's just the two of us
And the love between the lines
Turn out the light and close the door
We need the night to be alone
Shut out the world, just let it spin
Why don't we make a little bit of heaven?
Turn out the light and close that door
Maybe we'll find a little bit of heaven
Turn out the light, baby, and close the door
I know we can make a little bit of heaven
Honey, turn out the light, yeah, and close the door
Maybe we'll find a little bit of heaven
Turn out the light and close the door
Maybe we'll find, a little bit of heaven
I can tell you're as thankful as I
Good time was had by all
And a little wine, I know by that look
You've got other things on your mind
And I can't resist that sign
So turn out the lights and close the door
We need the night to be alone
Shut out the world, just let it spin
Why don't we make a little bit of heaven?
Just talk to my heart
Say the words that I want to hear
Darling, tonight I need you near
So turn out the light and close the door
We need some time to be alone
Shut out the world, just let it spin
And maybe we'll touch a little bit of heaven
Shut out the world, just let it spin
Maybe we'll touch a little bit of heaven
Heaven's right here for us
We don't need a mountain to climb, no, no, no
There's just the two of us
And the love between the lines
Turn out the light and close the door
We need the night to be alone
Shut out the world, just let it spin
Why don't we make a little bit of heaven?
Turn out the light and close that door
Maybe we'll find a little bit of heaven
Turn out the light, baby, and close the door
I know we can make a little bit of heaven
Honey, turn out the light, yeah, and close the door
Maybe we'll find a little bit of heaven
Turn out the light and close the door
Maybe we'll find, a little bit of heaven
Your Car (My Garage) lyrics - Natalie Cole
You've been driving all over town
You put your pedal to the metal
You've been getting around
Go get your thrills
That don't bother me
Spin your wheels
That don't bother me
But when you try to park
And I'm trying to sleep
No, no, no, you can't park it here
You can't park it here
It may be your car
But this is my garage
It may be your car
But this is my garage
Your love's been traveling way too many miles
You know you're out of control
Too long to stop it now
Go race your motor, ha
'Cause that don't bother me
I've lived without you
'Til it don't bother me
So before you park
While I'm trying to sleep
[Repeat Chorus]
[Sax Solo]
Ooh-woo...
Let's get one thing clear
You can't park it here
It may be your car
But this is my garage
It may be your car
But this is my garage
Drive your love on by
You won't see me cry
It may be your car
But this is my garage
It may be your car
But this is my garage
Ooh, baby, baby, baby, baby, yeah
Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah
It may be your car
But this is my garage
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
And you can drive your love on by
You won't see me cry
It may be your car
But this is my garage
Yeah
Your car
It may be your car, baby
But I pay the rent
And it's my garage
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
It's my garage
Don't you forget it
All alone
I said it's my garage
It may be your car
But so what
It's my garage
Oh, oh...
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You put your pedal to the metal
You've been getting around
Go get your thrills
That don't bother me
Spin your wheels
That don't bother me
But when you try to park
And I'm trying to sleep
No, no, no, you can't park it here
You can't park it here
It may be your car
But this is my garage
It may be your car
But this is my garage
Your love's been traveling way too many miles
You know you're out of control
Too long to stop it now
Go race your motor, ha
'Cause that don't bother me
I've lived without you
'Til it don't bother me
So before you park
While I'm trying to sleep

It may be your car
But this is my garage
It may be your car
But this is my garage
Drive your love on by
You won't see me cry
It may be your car
But this is my garage
It may be your car
But this is my garage
Ooh, baby, baby, baby, baby, yeah
Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah
It may be your car
But this is my garage
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
And you can drive your love on by
You won't see me cry
It may be your car
But this is my garage
Yeah
Your car
It may be your car, baby
But I pay the rent
And it's my garage
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
It's my garage
Don't you forget it
All alone
I said it's my garage
It may be your car
But so what
It's my garage
Oh, oh...
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Love Is On The Way lyrics - Natalie Cole
Ooh, hoo
You're the only one who knew why I was leaving
And you're the one who kept right on believing
I felt that I needed space to make it
I put a strain on love, I hope I didn't break it
But it's been so long
Now I'm coming home
(love) oh honey, I've been thinkin' 'bout our love all day
(love is on the way)
I'm comin' home baby (love), 'cause I just can't stay away
(love is on the way)
Ooh, I can hardly wait to see your face and kiss ya
And once I'm in your arms, you'll know how much
I've missed you, baby
All the lonely nights I longed to have you near me
Calling out your name, hoping you would hear me
But it's been so long
Now I'm comin' home
(love) hey, honey
I've been thinkin' 'bout our love all day
(love is on the way)
I'm comin' home, honey (love),ooh

Oh (ooh), oh (ooh)
Hey, babe, if the love's still there the feeling won't be lost

The Gift lyrics - Natalie Cole
Every captain must steer the wheel
Not by choice but from the voice that's in his ear
I have lived long and I've done much wrong
But I've survived through my lies, I'm still here
So all you people know what I say is true
That I'm here because of you
I have lived on, yes, I've made it through
You've returned your love to me
Well, I felt fire and I got tired
Of running from the truth
And I let people down and I wore the crown
Of being the biggest fool
So all you people know what I say is true
That I'm here because of you
I have lived on, yes, I've made it through
You've returned your love to me
There were times I had enough, I almost gave it up
But you reached out your heart to me
Look what you've done, now I've become the best
Oh, I'm the best I can be, oh, oh, oh
You've returned your love, the gift of love
Yes, you gave this gift to me
Not by choice but from the voice that's in his ear
I have lived long and I've done much wrong
But I've survived through my lies, I'm still here
So all you people know what I say is true
That I'm here because of you
I have lived on, yes, I've made it through
You've returned your love to me
Well, I felt fire and I got tired
Of running from the truth
And I let people down and I wore the crown
Of being the biggest fool
So all you people know what I say is true
That I'm here because of you
I have lived on, yes, I've made it through
You've returned your love to me
There were times I had enough, I almost gave it up
But you reached out your heart to me
Look what you've done, now I've become the best
Oh, I'm the best I can be, oh, oh, oh
You've returned your love, the gift of love
Yes, you gave this gift to me
You Were Right Girl lyrics - Natalie Cole
It's hard to say how long its been, but once upon a time
You were my best friend, I'm sorry I hurt you but I loved him, loved him
You said I'd get hurt in the end, you tried to warn me with good advice
Instead of listening, I paid the price, yes I did, you told me back then
You said he'll love you, leave you, you said his heart was cold as ice
And you were right girl, yes, he played me for a fool, (you were right girl)
Hmm, it all came true, (you were right girl), I know
I should have known it all along, (you were right girl)
Yes, you were right and I was wrong, I thought you blamed him for your mistakes
That all your put downs were just sour grapes, you told me back then
That they'll be lyin, cryin' and it won't be his heart that breaks
And ooh, (you were right girl) you were right girl
He played me for a fool, (you were right girl) oh
It all came true, you were (you were right girl) right girl
Yes, I should have known it all along (you were right girl)
You were right girl, you were right and I was wrong
Oh, what made me think that I was different from you
That I could make him do what he wouldn't do for you
Now you told me back then I'd never change him, change him
But he'd change me before he's through, and ooh (you were right girl)
You were right girl, he played me for a fool, he really did
(You were right girl) well, it all came true, (you were right girl)
You were so right, I should have known it all along (you were right girl)
Oh, yes, you were right and I was wrong, oh, (you were right girl)
He really played me for a fool, (you were right girl)
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, it all came true (you were right girl)
yeah, (you were right girl) you were right girl
I should have known it all along, (you were righ girl)
You were right girlfriend, you were right and I was wrong, woo, woo, woo
(You were right girl) you were right my girl, (you were right girl)
You were right my girl, he played me for a great big fool
You were my best friend, I'm sorry I hurt you but I loved him, loved him
You said I'd get hurt in the end, you tried to warn me with good advice
Instead of listening, I paid the price, yes I did, you told me back then
You said he'll love you, leave you, you said his heart was cold as ice
And you were right girl, yes, he played me for a fool, (you were right girl)
Hmm, it all came true, (you were right girl), I know

Nothin' But A Fool lyrics - Natalie Cole
So what do you think
Maybe he'll buy you a drink
And run his fingers through your hair
Apologize for having to stare
But he's never seen such a face
What's it doing in such a place
Says he knows a little spot
That he thinks you'll like a lot
So he takes you in his car
[Background repeats] (Hoo, hoo, hoo)
Says it isn't far
And you end up at his home
Ah, but you knew that's where you were going
And he turns his stereo on
Makes you feel like you belong
And you end up in his bed
You're great was all he said
[Chorus:]
Oh, you're nothin' but a fool
If you think that he loves you
Oh, you're nothin' but a fool
If you think that he cares
You're nothin' but a fool
If you think that he wants you
Oh, you're nothin' but a fool
If you think he cares
Yeah, yeah
So he lights a cigarette
[Background repeats:] (hoo, hoo, hoo)
Turns on the tv set
And you just want to be held for a while
He don't even wanna smile
So you try to tell a joke
He just lights another smoke
It's getting colder in that bed
You're great was all he said
Background repeats chorus
Oh, you're nothin' but a fool
You silly fool
If you think that he loves you
Ah, you're nothin' but great big fool
If you think he cares
You're nothin' but a fool, yes you
If you think that he wants you
Oh, you're nothin' but a fool
If you think he cares
[Musical Interlude]
Just a silly fool, ha
Never thought it would happen to you
Oh, ho, ho, ho
[Background repeats] (Hoo, hoo, hoo)
Now you'd really love stay
But he says he's got a busy day
And he'll call you tomorrow night
You make sure he's got your number right
He gives you money for a cab ride home
Suddenly you're all alone
Waiting for his call
And you're staring at the wall
Ah, you're nothin' but a fool
[Background repeats chorus]
If you think that he loves you
Ah, you're nothin' but a fool
Silly fool, ha
You never thought it would happen to you
(You're nothin' but a fool)
If you think that he wants you
Oh you're nothin' but a fool
If you think that he cares
You're nothin' but a fool
If you think that he loves you
Oh, you're nothin' but a fool
If you think he cares
You're nothin' but a fool...
Maybe he'll buy you a drink
And run his fingers through your hair
Apologize for having to stare
But he's never seen such a face
What's it doing in such a place
Says he knows a little spot
That he thinks you'll like a lot
So he takes you in his car

Love & Kisses lyrics - Natalie Cole
Hmm, talking on the telephone early in the morning dawn, softly singing in your ear
A song that I wrote last night, it's so very hard my dear, you are there
And I am here, somehow words I try to say, they just don't seem to sound right
Conversation's getting thin and my patience is too, I gotta go I'll call you when
My show is through, oh, hello operator, give me a little more time
In the meantime get my baby on the line, please, in the meantime
Get my baby on that line, I'm sending love and kisses on the telephone wire
I hope he gets them in time, hmm, hmm, love and kisses across the pacific
Gonna send them to that baby of mine, yeah, gonna send them to that baby of mine
(how you doing....) sure do miss ya, I'd like to kiss ya
(what...) what's that you said my dear, this connection's not so clear
But if you said I love you, then you know that I feel the same way
Hope the kids are doing fine, do they still get to school on time
Oh by the way I really miss your face around about supper time
Conversation's gettin thin and my patience is too, gotta go
I'll call you when my show is through, I'm sending love and kisses
On the telephone wire, I hope he gets them in time
Oh, love and kisses across the pacific, gonna send them to that baby of mine
Hmm, gonna send them to that baby of mine
Oh, love and kisses, ooh, ooh, love and kisses
A song that I wrote last night, it's so very hard my dear, you are there
And I am here, somehow words I try to say, they just don't seem to sound right
Conversation's getting thin and my patience is too, I gotta go I'll call you when
My show is through, oh, hello operator, give me a little more time
In the meantime get my baby on the line, please, in the meantime
Get my baby on that line, I'm sending love and kisses on the telephone wire

Don't Look Back lyrics - Natalie Cole
Everyday the population is growing and to find some peace of mind is something rare
Don't you get discouraged keep on going and don't you mind the way that the people turn and stare
Now how long can you keep on feeling guilty and tell me why should you feel bad about feeling good
Don't you know that the world is cold and filthy, aw yes it is, but if you're a special child
They know sometimes you'll be misunderstood, (you can never look back)
Yesterday is dead and gone, (don't you look back) your tomorrow is here today
Keep on fighting, a quitter never wins, hold your breath stick out your chin
Count to ten start again, everybody wants to be somebody
But they can't seem to see the forest for the trees, we just can't let our past
Hold back our future, oh, no, no, when it's all over but the shouting
Nothing is left but memories, looks like you could use a little bit of happiness
Now I know that it's really hard to find, but you owe it to yourself to have the very best
And only a fool will try to catch up to what he has left behind, (you can never look back)
No, no, 'cause yesterday is dead and gone, (don't you look back) your tomorrow is here today
And when you're crying, you need someone to hold on to
It's not the end of the world my friend, tip your hat, start again
And keep a positive direction, oh, keep your vision straight ahead
You can't lose with the stuff you use, we've come too far just to turn around, oh, oh,
Don't you look back, yesterday is dead and gone (don't you look back)
Your tomorrow is on the way and if you're fighting, people, a quitter never wins
Hold your breath stick out your chin, count to ten, start again, don't you look back
No, no, uh, oh, (don't look back) no 'cause we've come much too far
Just to turn around, uh, oh, oh, (repeat don't you look back) don't you look back now
Yesterday is dead and gone, don't you look back, your tomorrow is here today
And when you're crying, 'cause all your friends have forsaken you
Its not the end of the world my friend, just tip your hat start again
Keep on steppin' yaul, don't look back, don't turn your head around
Get up, get out on the good foot, keep on fightin,' yeah, hold your breath
Stick out your chin, count to ten and start again don't try it
You got to keep on movin' yaul, get, get, get up on the good foot
Don't you get discouraged keep on going and don't you mind the way that the people turn and stare
Now how long can you keep on feeling guilty and tell me why should you feel bad about feeling good
Don't you know that the world is cold and filthy, aw yes it is, but if you're a special child
They know sometimes you'll be misunderstood, (you can never look back)

I've Seen Paradise lyrics - Natalie Cole
Hm, hm
Hm, hm, hm, hm
Just like a welcome fire
That comes in the cold
You make my heart warm
And a little more love is born
And I'm caught up once again on you
Soft as a rose, your tenderness glows
But you're so strong
And I know I'm gonna love you long
Well, crazy maybe
But I've seen paradise
Here in your eyes
I'm in seventh heaven
Ooh, there's nothing quite
Like spending your life
With a special someone
It feels so right
When the lights are out
And I'm in the dark
I'm not afraid, no
Long as I can get a piece of your heart
And the wind sighs
I love you
Specially when we touch
I need it so much
And I'm glad that we found love
Let the record show that I know that I've
Seen paradise here in your eyes
I'm in seventh heaven
Ooh, there's nothing quite
Like spending your life
With a special someone
It feels so right
Hmm, ooh (paradise)
Hey, I'm in para, para-dise, yeah
I'm in paradise, you know
You know that I like, you know that I like
You know that I like to be in paradise
(Paradise) I'm in paradise
And for those who think that there's no such thing
As eternity, they should take a look at you and me
We have got the perfect harmony
Specially when we touch
You know I need it, oh, so much
I'm in heaven specially when I'm with you, hey
I'm in paradise (paradise)

Spending all my life with you
Here in paradise, wooh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hm, hm, hm, hm
Just like a welcome fire
That comes in the cold
You make my heart warm
And a little more love is born
And I'm caught up once again on you
Soft as a rose, your tenderness glows
But you're so strong
And I know I'm gonna love you long
Well, crazy maybe
But I've seen paradise
Here in your eyes
I'm in seventh heaven
Ooh, there's nothing quite
Like spending your life
With a special someone
It feels so right
When the lights are out
And I'm in the dark
I'm not afraid, no
Long as I can get a piece of your heart
And the wind sighs
I love you
Specially when we touch
I need it so much
And I'm glad that we found love
Let the record show that I know that I've
Seen paradise here in your eyes
I'm in seventh heaven
Ooh, there's nothing quite
Like spending your life
With a special someone
It feels so right
Hmm, ooh (paradise)
Hey, I'm in para, para-dise, yeah
I'm in paradise, you know
You know that I like, you know that I like
You know that I like to be in paradise
(Paradise) I'm in paradise
And for those who think that there's no such thing
As eternity, they should take a look at you and me
We have got the perfect harmony
Specially when we touch
You know I need it, oh, so much
I'm in heaven specially when I'm with you, hey
I'm in paradise (paradise)
I'm in paradise, paradise and a
Here in your life
Here in your eyes (paradise)
Oh really, I'm in paradise
You know that I like, you know that I like
You know that I like to be in paradise
(Paradise) I wanna move with you
I wanna groove you, baby
With me, with me in paradise
I said I'm in paradise
Ooh, ooh, Hoo (paradise)
Yeah, to be in paradise with you and me
To be enough, paradise here in your eyes
Woh, woh, woh, woh, woh
You that I like, you know that I like
You know that I like, you know that I like
You know that I like
You know that I like, I like
I like to be in paradise
Spending my life, spending my life
Spending my life, spending my life
Spending all my life with you
Here in paradise, wooh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hold On lyrics - Natalie Cole
You know, of all the things in the world I'd miss
It would probably be music and love
They say you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
That's so true
Even though we still take it for granted
And I used to be like that but not anymore
'Cause I found out what love really means
Love means happiness and dedication
Love will sometimes bring complications
But you must have faith and a whole lot of trust
Most of all you can never give up just
Hold on, hold on
Hold on to your good thing, yeah
(Hold on, hold on)
Forget about the small things
(Hold on, hold on)
Do it for love, do it for love
And remember that love is a feeling
But it's also an action, yes
You've got to give sometime
If you want to get back some, well
And when all the king's horses
And even all the king's men
Can't put it together again
That is exactly when you've got to
Hold on, hold on
Hold on to what you've got
(Hold on, hold on)
It's the little things that mean alot
(Hold on, hold on)
Do it for love, do it for love
In spite of everything, no matter what
You've got to hold on
(You gotta hold on)
Hold on, hmm, hmm
Hmm, ooh, oh, oh
You're so hard headed
'Cause you feel that you're right
Well, tell me how you gonna feel
In the middle of the night
All alone, all alone?
I know, I know
It doesn't matter who's right or wrong
If you feel so inclined
To blame that shame on someone else
Ooh, stop and think about it
Point the finger at yourself
Ooh, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
Hold on to your good thing
(Hold on)
Forget about the small hold on things
(Hold on)
And hold on
Hold on, oh hold on
(Hold on)
Real tight in spite of everything
Hold on
(Hold on)
When you feel like walking out that door
It would probably be music and love
They say you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
That's so true
Even though we still take it for granted
And I used to be like that but not anymore
'Cause I found out what love really means
Love means happiness and dedication
Love will sometimes bring complications
But you must have faith and a whole lot of trust
Most of all you can never give up just
Hold on, hold on
Hold on to your good thing, yeah
(Hold on, hold on)
Forget about the small things
(Hold on, hold on)
Do it for love, do it for love
And remember that love is a feeling
But it's also an action, yes
You've got to give sometime
If you want to get back some, well
And when all the king's horses
And even all the king's men
Can't put it together again
That is exactly when you've got to
Hold on, hold on
Hold on to what you've got
(Hold on, hold on)
It's the little things that mean alot
(Hold on, hold on)
Do it for love, do it for love
In spite of everything, no matter what
You've got to hold on
(You gotta hold on)
Hold on, hmm, hmm
Hmm, ooh, oh, oh
You're so hard headed
'Cause you feel that you're right
Well, tell me how you gonna feel
In the middle of the night

Ooh, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
Hold on to your good thing
(Hold on)
Forget about the small hold on things
(Hold on)
And hold on
Hold on, oh hold on
(Hold on)
Real tight in spite of everything
Hold on
(Hold on)
When you feel like walking out that door
