I Can't Break Away lyrics - Natalie Cole

I can't break away from you
Ooh, there's something about you that I can't explain
I get excited when I hear your name
I can't break away from you

Deep in my mind you're always here
Whenever I turn you're always near
Oh, just can't, just can't, just can't

I've only known you for a little while
Yet, I can truly say I dig your style
Even the way you call my name
It sounds like a song the angels sang

Just being near you gives me satisfaction
I tell you it's some new kind of action
Your love I could never, ever turn away
Why don't you hear me when I try to say

I can't break away from you
You're like a mirror in the back of my mind
I see reflections of you all the time
I can't break away from you

Deep in my mind you're always there
You stay around me everywhere
Yeah, baby, oh, yeah
(We have a different style of love)

Different
(So different and so new)
(We have a crazy kind of love)
So crazy
(Crazy, yes it's true)
(And I'm gonna never turn away)

Oh, do you hear what I say, I can't break away from you
You're like a mirror in the back of my mind
I see reflections of you all the time
I can't break away, no, from you

Deep in my mind you're always there
Whenever I turn you're always here
Oh, you can't, never get away from you

(I can't break away)
When I rise in the morning
(I can't break away)
You, you, you, oh, you, you got the power

(I can't break away)
Each and every hour, hey, babe
(I can't break away)
You been a mighty good leader, oh, yeah

(I can't break away)
You been a mighty good leader, well
(I can't break away)
You saved my soul, yes, you did

(I can't break away)
Oh, ho, ho, you been a mighty good leader
Well

Your Eyes lyrics - Natalie Cole

Do you realize that I could see the windows of the world through your eyes?
Pretty eyes
(da, da, da, da, da, da, da)
(your eyes)
Your eyes that (da, da, da, da, da, da)
Mesmorize and hypnotize
(la, la, da, la, da, da, da)
(your eyes)
(da, da, da, da)
They can tell no lies
Hm, little adelines, (da, da, da, da, da, da)
You're so fine
(your eyes)
(da, da, da, da, la, la)
Even your wrinkles shine
(even your wrinkles shine)
Pretty, pretty eyes. uh
(your eyes)
(da, da, da, da, da, da)
Pretty, pretty eyes, uh
Da, da
Your so fine; I just hope there's time
'cause your eyes are so kind
I feel like they're a friend of mine
Although there's pain behind

And it's so far away
But they just seem to say
It's okay, 'cause the rain must fall every now and then
But oh, ho, ho
Everything's gonna be alright again
(there goes that smile again)
There goes that smile again
The one that shines through I'll defend
Never have I seen eyes like yours
That smile much better than any I know
(even your wrinkles shine)
Even your wrinkles shine
(your eyes that smile are fine)
Won't you stay awhile
Won't you look through me
So I can be what you see
You're so fine
(your eyes)
(la, da, da, da, da, da...)
Your eyes are so kind
(la, da, da)
(your eyes)
I never would have known
It never would have shown
That you were blind

I'm Catching Hell lyrics - Natalie Cole

Tonight, I, I just want to talk to the ladies, oh fellows your cool but girls
If you've got a good man, you'd better keep him,
Oh I know you're saying right now, what does she know
Who is she to tell me about my situation, well, I don't know your situation
But whatever it is, you should try to stay together
You know that big argument that you had the other night, remember
Well, today its not nothing, just don't let him leave you honey
Cause then you'll find out that it wasn't those real big things you loved about him
It was the real small things, go on and laugh but its true
You know, things that you've seen a thousand times around the house
But never paid any attention to, like helping with the groceries
And helping in the yard and painting and repairing and huh, paying the bills
But you know now, all I have is memories and regrets
I could have given our love a chance to grow but no
I had to challenge it and be heard (oh), let me tell you something
That female liberation stuff, I don't know, sometimes I don't think its worth it
And I'm really feeling, feeling kind of bad yaul, I'm catching hell living here alone
Hmm, I never realized, oh Lord, that you mean so much to me
I'm catching hell living here alone, I want you to come back baby
Come back cause here's where you belong, oh yeah
If I could replay, if I could replay that whole scene again, oh well
You know that I would never, never say it again, that our love, our love is at its end
And oh, you know that I would kind of ease on back, yes I would
And let confusion pass on by, I took a fools'way out, oh yeah
Without one good reason why, I'm catching hell, catching hell
Lord I'm living, living, living here alone, Alone, lone, I didn't believe it could be
You know all the pressure on me, all the time, oh, I'm catching hell, well, well
Living here alone, lone, lone, lone, lone, lone, lone, to tell you the truth
To tell you the truth I'm going out of my mind---, yeah, oh do you hear me tonight
I don't have too (this is my story) much more to say except
Somebody (hey, this is my song) told me that if you've got something
That's good to you And you don't use it (sad, sad) you might lose it (sad, song)
(Song, so sad) So girls hold on to your good thing (Oh), (you gotta hold on a little bit now)
And don't let go, oh--do you hear me tonight, It's so sad living alone
Living alone (Hmm), hold on to your good thing, hold on, (well, well) oh yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah--oh, oh, oh, Lordy, Lordy do you know what its like
Catching hell, (somebody turn up the microphone, oh-), Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no

"Natalie" (1976)

Sophisticated Lady (She's A Different Lady) lyrics - Natalie Cole

Sophisticated lady, sophisticated lady
She's a different lady with a different style
She stands tall and steady like the eiffel tower
She is hip to politics but loves her jazz
She's got lots of rhythm she's got lots of class
Everybody knows how she got her name, yeah
Oh, ha, she wears knee length dresses with her high heel steppers
She's not no back stabber but she's sure a pleaser
She talks quiet and gentle, she acts very cool
She sticks close to her lover, she obey god's rules, woh
(sophisticated lady) sophisticated lady, yeah
(sophisticated lady) oh
(sophisticated lady) that's her name, that's her name
(sophisticated lady) woh, woh
Everybody knows how she got her name

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-
Woh-, oh, oh, oh, oh
She's the kind of person that you'd like to meet
'cause she's always smiling and she's always neat
She can start a fire in the coldest man
She's a hip slick sister known throughout the land, oh
(sophisticated lady) that's her name
Sophisticated lady (sophisticated lady) yeah
Oh, well, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, hoo, that's her name
Sophisticated lady (sophisticated lady) lady, lady
Sophisticated lady (sophisticated lady) oh
Sophisticated lady, (sophisticated lady) ah
Sophisticated lady (sophisticated lady)

No Plans For The Future lyrics - Natalie Cole

Let the dishes wait, no need in dusting
No reason to clean the dirty floor
'cause I'm sure it doesn't matter
Now that he has gone away
I have no plans for the future 'cause he's not here today
Let them go to the park and I'll sit alone here in the dark
No joy left in my heart anymore
Let me hold on to my memories

And if I die this way just let it be
I have no plans for the future 'cause he's not here with me
Why should I comb my head when I know I'm not going anywhere
Why should I keep right on giving when I've lost my only reason for living
So go on, just go on and have yourself a ball
I have no plans for the future 'cause he's not here
I have no plans for the future 'cause he's not here at all
Hm, hm, hm...

Can We Get Together Again lyrics - Natalie Cole

I really enjoyed ya, yes, I did
We got to get together and do it all again some time
Though it's been quite a while since we've been together

Keep Smiling lyrics - Natalie Cole

Keep smiling, keep smiling, keep smiling, keep right on smiling
I know sometimes your whole world seems blue
Seems like the whole weight of the world is resting on you
But remember when you hang your head, its hard to see the sun
There's a brighter day, yes it is, just ask and I sure will come
But you've got to keep (keep smiling) well, ooh, yeah
(Keep smiling) Keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on
(Keep smiling) Ooh, ha (Don't you ever stop smiling)
Oh, don't you ever stop, no, no, no, oh, when you've got to keep on stepping on
You know that you've got to be strong and understand the facts of life
You won't get no place until you make some sacrifice
Try to make it a little easy when you're doing it on your own
Once you think you've got everything, the next day its all gone
But you got to keep (keep smiling), well, well, well, well (keep smiling)
Oh I know its hard, I know its hard, but you've to keep (keep smiling), oh-

(Keep smiling) oh--keep on (don't you ever stop smiling) Smile, smile-

Good Morning Heartache lyrics - Natalie Cole

Woh, woh, ha, yeah, hmm-, oh
Good morning heartache, you old gloomy site
Good morning heartache
Thought we said goodbye last night
I tossed and turned until it seemed that you had gone
But here you are with the dawn
Hoo, wish I'd forget you, but you're here to stay, yeah
It seems I met ya, when my love had gone away
I start each day out just by saying to you
Good morning heartache, what's new
Stop haunting me now, can't shake you no how
Why don't you just leave me alone
I've got those Monday blues
those straight through Sunday blues
Oh, good morning heartache, here we go
Here we go, here we go again, well
Good morning heartache
You're the one who knew me when
I guess I might as well get used to you hanging around
Good morning heartache, I see you're back in town
Good morning heartache, why don't ya sit on down, sit down...

Needing You lyrics - Natalie Cole

Needing you, wanting you, I just don't know what I'm gonna do
To tell the truth it just ain't no use, my mind ain't strong enough
To forget about you, oh baby, hey, here I am trying to be proud
Trying to fool myself with this unreal smile, telling everyone
That I no longer cling to you, but I know myself that can't be true, oh
How can I forget a love I've known for so long
The heart may not remember, but the mind goes on and on
And the more I think about it the worse off I get
Something keeps telling me you ain't seen nothing yet

I'm needing you, wanting you, I just don't know what I'm gonna do
Now that you're gone, how can I go on, the same love that made me smile
Right now it makes me blue, oh, how can I get you back, I need you here so bad
The neighbors say since you've been away, I seem to be so sad
You know they're right, I can't stand to be out of your site
You need to be here close to me to lift these lonely nights
I'm needing you, wanting you, oh I just don't know what I'm gonna do, ooh, no
To tell the truth, it just ain't no use, my mind ain't strong enough to forget about you
Baby, baby, I'm sure needing you, yes, I'm wanting you
You know I just can't stand it, it just ain't no use, ain't no use
