If you want something to play with
Go and find yourself a toy
Baby my time is too expensive
And I'm not a little boy
If you are serious
Don't play with my heart
It makes me furious
But if you want me to love you
Then a baby I will, girl you know that I will
Tell it like it is
Don't be ashamed to let your conscience be your guide
But I know deep down inside me
I believe you love me, forget your foolish pride
Life is too short to have sorrow
You may be here today and gone tomorrow
You might as well get what you want
So go on and live, baby go on and live
Tell it like it is
I'm nothing to play with
Go and find yourself a toy
But I... Tell it like it is
My time is too expensive and I'm not your little boy

(Clarence Toussaint, Allen Julian Orange)
There'll be some slow walkin'
Gonna be some sad talkin'
There'll be some flowers bringin'
Gonna be some sad singin'
Over you, I say over you
Over you, pretty baby
If I ever hear you say we're through
There'll be some long black limousines
People peepin' from their window screens
Parade of cars with their headlights on
All of that will be goin' on
Over you, I said over you
Over you, pretty baby
If I ever hear you say we're through
There'll be a hole about six feet deep
For you baby to take your sleep
Into a pine box an' down you'll go
Where you will stay where it's free of snow
Over you, I said over you
Over you, pretty baby
If I ever hear you say we're through
All your folks will be dressed in black
Ride a long black Cadillac
Yeah, baby they'll be puttin' you away
The funeral home'll have the business that day
Over you, I said over you
Over you, pretty baby
If I ever hear you say we're through
Say I want to slay you baby, Whoa now
Over you, pretty baby
If I ever hear you say we're through
Say you'll never leave me
I say you'll never leave me
Say I'm gonna get rid of you , baby
If I ever hear you say we're through
Whoa, I love you
No tellin' what I'd do
That's why baby
I want to do all these things to you

Get out of my life, leave me alone
Don't write me no letter, don't call me on the phone
Well, I'm trying to forget that I love you so
So let me down easy baby, just let me go
You played a game, I was a fool
When I see you with someone else, I just keep my cool
And now I'm trying to forget that I love you so
So let me down easy baby, just let me go
Well I'm alone now, as long as I could
I went along with your program, like you knew I would
But one of these days now, I say now it won't be long
You're gonna look for me and honey child, you know baby I'll be gone
Get out of my life, leave me alone
Don't write me no letter, don't call me on the phone
Well I'm trying to forget that I love you so
So let me down easy baby, just let me go
Well, I'm trying to forget that I love you so
So let me down easy baby, just let me go
I said let me go baby
come on, come on, let me go now
I said come on, come on, come on, come on, whoa

You can go, go , go
Cuz I know, know, know
I have found another love to take your place
Down down down came the tears
Since you went away and left me here
But up, up, up went my love, love, love
I have found another love to take your place
Fast, fast, fast went the train
That took you to the arms of another man
But you can go, go, go
Cuz I know, know, know
I have found another love to take your place
I thought that I could live without you
I thought that I would never love again
Someone came along with a love so strong
I forgot about you and once again I feel like a man
Whoa, I have found a love that's true
I hope that you have done the same thing too
If you're not happy, don't come back to me
I have found another love to take your place
I have found another love to take your place

Don't cry, don't cry, little darlin' don't cry
I'll not say my last good bye
Whoa, so don't cry, don't cry, little darlin' don't cry
Cuz I'll return someday
So don't weep, don't weep, little darlin' no, no don't weep
My heart tells me you're in love with me
Whoa, so don't weep, don't weep, little darlin' don't weep
Cuz I'll return someday soon
(To take you in my arms) and to squeeze you tight
(To capture all your charms) every, every, every day now
Don't cry, don't cry, little darlin' no don't cry
I'm not saying my last good bye
Whoa, no don't cry, don't cry, little darlin' don't cry
I'll return someday, someday soon (someday soon)
Whoa, don't cry, don't cry, little darlin' don't, don't you cry
Cuz I'm not saying my last good bye
Whoa, don't cry, no, no, no, don't cry

There's a new girl in my neighborhood
She's a sweet little thing, she looks real good
She gets everybody's attention around
They call her sweet little mama
All the boys wink when they see her
Even the girls smile when they meet her
Everybody's trying to be first
To hold sweet little mama
She got a certain secret in her smile
That makes you wanna stay awhile
But the minute you get too close
She bursts out with a loud, loud cry
Stop by my house and you can't miss her
This little girl is my little sister
She's about 9 days old
They call her sweet little mama
Say she got a certain secret in her smile
That makes you wanna stay awhile
The minute you get too close
She bursts out with a loud, loud cry
Stop by my house, you can't miss her
This little girl is my little sister
Well, she's about 9 days old
They call her sweet little mama

Train whistle blowin' around the bend
But I can hear it comin' in
That's the train my baby's on
But now she's gonna bring her home
Got a letter yesterday
This is what she had to say
Meet me at the station a quarter to ten
Let's try it over again
Waitin' at the station happy as can be, now
Waitin' at the station for my baby
My lonely nights are over from this day on
Since my baby's coming back home
The train pulled in a few minutes late
But I didn't mind that little wait
That train is carrying medicine for heartaches and pain
For this lonely man
Everybody's gettin' off one by one
Tellin' their friend where they've been and what they've done
But where is my girl, everybody's off the train
She made a fool of me again
Waitin' at the station sad as can be, now
Waitin' at the station for my baby, now
My nights will still be lonely on and on
Since my baby didn't come home
Waitin' at the station sad as can be, now
Waitin' at the station for my baby
My nights will still be lonely, on and on
Since my baby didn't come home
Waitin' at the station sad as can be, now
Waitin' at the station for my baby
My nights will still be lonely, on and on
Since my baby didn't come home

How many times must I say I love you
How many times must I say I love you, love you
You treat me so cold honey
You opened my nose, honey
And then you laughed, uh huh, uh huh
You made me feel bad, uh huh, uh huh
You made me cry honey
I wanted to die
How many times must I say I'm sorry
How many times must I say I'm sorry, sorry
You treat me so cold honey
You opened my nose honey
And then you laughed, uh huh, uh huh
You made me feel bad, uh huh, uh huh
You made me cry honey
I wanted to die
You brought me through changes
I've never been through before
I said I was leaving but I never got out that door
I'm never at ease honey
I'm always on my knees honey
I'm begging you please, whoa to forgive me please
How many times must I say I'm sorry
How many times must I say I'm sorry, sorry
You treat me me so cold honey
You opened my nose honey
And then you laughed, uh huh, uh huh
You made me feel bad, uh huh, uh huh
You made me feel bad
I wanted to die

Why torture yourself, when you know you're in love
Throw your pride in the ocean and be happy beneath the stars above
Confess your feelings to the one's you love
And let's live, before it's too late
Let's live
Why deprive yourself, of the wonders of life
Time is getting shorter, there's no reason for those lonely nights
If you don't, if you don't love me, you'll miss the boat
And let's live, before it's too late
Let's live
Why should you live in a sad state of mind
Problems, problems, problems all the time
Do your best to get them off your chest
Everything, everything will be just fine
Love is nice , love is sometimes cruel
When you've been in love you have been to the greatest school
So try and make an "A" honey, and I'll do the same
Let's live, before it's too late
Let's live, before it's too late
You know, I know, before it's too late
So, come on, come on, come on
Let's live

Every day along about noon
Oh how I'm dreaming of the day that I'll be home soon
And every day along about one
Oh how I remember how we used to have fun
And every day along about two
Whoa how I'm so lonely in a world so blue
And every day now along about three
When I'm dreaming of a day that I'll be free
And every day along about four
But I cry, whoa I cry, till I can cry no more
And every day along about five
I'm writing you a letter with a tear in my eye
And every day whoa just about six
Whoa how I remember how we used to kiss
And every, every, every day now oh how it reminds me of you
Whoa I wanna tell you, please listen to me
Cuz I love you, love you, I love you

Even though we're apart you're still right here in my heart
Your hands are still in mine, I can still hear you whispering words divine
I can feel your warm embrace, just the thought of it puts a smile upon my face
But my imagination, whoa I said it's so strong, but reality keep assuring me I'm all alone
But now from my lips comes a song, with tears in my eyes,
Cuz now you're gone, so all your sweet talk........
Even though we're apart, you're still right here in my heart
My imagination, Oh I said it's so strong, but reality keeps assuring me that I'm all alone
My imagination, Oh so strong, but reality keeps assuring me that I'm all alone

Every time the telephone rings I hold my breath
Hoping that it's you, I'm scared to death
Phone went ring, my crippled heart cried
Let it be you, on the line
Then a voice say hello, can I speak to Joe?
Wrong number, I'm sorry, good bye
Pity the fool who loves you so
If you found someone new, don't let me know
The phone rang once again, my heart skipped a beat
Must be you, this is my belief
Then the voice on the other end say can I speak to Ben?
Wrong number, I'm sorry, good bye
I live simply on the memory
Of your love that was once for me
Come back my darling please
And set my heart at ease
Then a voice say hello, darling you know I love you so
Hold on baby, 'til I tell these blues good bye
'Til I tell these blues good bye

When you hold me close, honey, you're the most, baby, you set my soul on fire
Ever since I met you, honey I had to get you, you have been my one desire
How could I help but love you with a love so true, you send cold chills down my spine
If we would ever part, it wouldn't be your fault, yeah, it would be all mine
If you would ever leave me, honey, it sure would grieve me, baby, it would break my heart
But I won't let that worry me, this love will always be, it was meant right from the start
How could I help but love you, with a love so true, you send cold chills down my spine
If we would ever part, it wouldn't be your fault, yeah, it would be all mine
When you hold me close, honey, you're the most, baby, you set my soul on fire
Ever since I met you, honey, I had to get you, you have been my one desire
How could I help but love you, with a love so so true, you send cold chills down my spine
If we would ever part ...........
