I've been so many places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs and I've made some bad climbs
I've acted out my life in stages with ten thousand people watching
Oh, but we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you
I know your image of me is what I hope to be, I've treated you unkindly
Oh, but Darling can't you see that, there's no one more important to me
Baby, baby, can't you see through me, 'cause we're alone now
And I'm singing this song to you, you taught me precious secrets
Of a true love withholding nothing, you came out in front
When I was hiding, yeah, yeah, but now its so much better
If my words don't quite come together, please listen to the melody
'Cause my love is in there somewhere hiding
I love you in a place where there is no space or time, I love you for my life
You are a friend of mine, and when my life is over
Remember, remember, remember when we were together
And we are alone now, and I was singing this song to you
We were alone, and I was singing, yeah singing
We were alone, and I was singing this song for you
Singing my song, I'm singing my song for you
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo

This is a song about a very big, strong, black, sexy southern baptist minister
Who thinks he's got his program all together, until he meets a lady who lets him know
That he ain't got it all together, his name is reverend dr. lee
Reverend lee, he went to the water, and he prayed to the lord
About old satan's daughter, it seems in a dream, child, while he lay sleeping
She climbed in his bed, starts rubbing and weeping, ah, she was twisting and turning, hmm
She was begging and pleading, loving and burning, panting, breathing, ooh, ah, ah
Reverend lee, she said, lord knows that I love you child, but I would not even, no, no,
Place God above you, well reverend lee, he lifted his arms high
Said heavenly father, take me home to the sky, he said lord please don't test me
Not down where she touched me, my mind is so hazy
And you know my body is hungry, oh yeah, and then God rolled the thunder
And he hurled the lightening uh, oh, he seemed to be angry
Well it really was frightening, yes he was, oh the thunder grew louder
Darkened conditions, and just then a voice said, God cannot be petitioned
Just then the devil, oh he emerged from the water, and he said in that dry voice
Your God will not barter, reverend lee, he went screaming from the water
And he was hotly pursued by old satan's daughter
And she said, she said reverend, ooh, reverend, reverend lee
She said reverend lee, do it to me, she said, she said, uh, reverend lee
(reverend, reverend, reverend, reverend lee), I don't want nobody else to do it
Do it but you, do it, do it, yeah you, do it, do it to me

Your love, like wine. Tasting sweeter to me every day
Your kiss, devine. And it melts the cold inside away
All of my life, I've been waiting for a love like this
And now, that your here romance is just a second away.
It's gonna stay
'Til the snow falls on the Sahara, 'Til the sun freezes over, 'Til the
Mojave red turns into blue
'Til my lungs get tired of breathing, and my heart stops it's beating,
then I'll stop loving you.
And in the dark, when there's no one calling out your name.
Well I'll hold you so tight, and I'll whisper to you once again, and again
'Til the snow falls on the Sahara, 'Til the sun freezes over,
'Til the Mojave red turns into blue.
When the music's no longer playing and the faithless start praying,
I'll stop loving you.
When the snow falls on the Sahara (uh huh), 'Til the sun freezes over,
'Til the Mojave red turns into blue (That's a long Time) When my lungs
get tired of breathing (oh) and my heart stops it's beating
I'll stop loving you.
I don't want to waste a single heartbeat
And sometimes my words get in the way
But I hear your love just fine. Just Fine
And it's gonna take a long time
'Til the snow falls on the Sahara, 'Til the sun freezes over
'Til the Mojave red turns into blue (That's a long time)
When the music's no longer playing, and the faithless start praying
I'll stop loving you, oh. uh huh uh huh (When the snow falls on the
Sahara, and the sun freezes over, when the Mojave red turns into blue)
I'll be loving you, baby. (When my lungs get tired of breathing and my
heart stops it's beating) I'll stop loving you

(Written by Taj Mahal and Jesse Ed Davis)
Just when you think you know me, think again
(Corinna, Corinna, Corinna)
Hmm, ain't nothin' like my Corinna (Corinna)
(Corinna) Hmm, ain't nothin' like my Corinna (Corinna)
I got a bird wanna whistles
Baby, got a bird
Honey got a bird will sing
Baby, got a bird
Honey got a bird will sing
Without my Corinna
Sure don't mean
Sure don't mean a natural thing
Oh, I learned to love you
Baby, for I call
Honey, for I call your name
Baby, for I call
Honey, for I call out your name
I wouldn't trade your love for money
Baby, you're my warm hearts
Honey, you're my warm hearts flame
Oh, oh, oh (Corinna)
(Hmm, ain't nothing like my Corinna)
(Na, na, na, na, na, na, na (Corinna)
(Hmm, ain't nothing like my Corinna)
Have mercy, have mercy, baby
Honey, you're my hard luck
Baby, you're my hard luck soul
Honey, you're my hard luck
Women, on my hard luck soul
Got a rainbow round my shoulder
Shine like silver
Looks like some ol' fools' gold
-Musical interlude-
(Ooh, ah, ooh)
(Corinna) Oh, oh
(Hmm, ain't nothing like my Corinna)
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, ooh
(Corinna) (Hmm, ain't nothing like my Corinna)
Well, I love you so much, honey
Gotta tell the world
Baby, baby, tell the world I do
(Corinna)
Oh, honey tell the world
Baby, tell the world I do
You know, you know, you know, you know
Ain't no man, ain't no man in fourteen countries
Gonna love me baby
Baby like the way you do
Hey, hey, hey
I got a bird wanna whistle
Baby, got a bird
Honey, got a bird will sing
Honey got a bird
Baby, got a bird that will sing
Oh, without my Corinna
Sure don't mean
Sure don't mean a natural thing
Gotta say it one more time (Corinna) Oh
(Hmm, ain't nothing like my Corinna)
Oh (Corinna)
(Hmm, ain't nothing like my Corinna)
Ain't nothin, nothin, nothin, nothin
(Hmm, ain't nothin like my Corinna)
Tell the world, tell the world about it (Corinna)
(Hmm, ain't nothin like my Corinna) Sing!
(Corinna) (Hmm) Ooh
(Ain't nothin like my Corinna) hee, hee
I like it when you...
(Hmm, ain't nothin like my)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, (Corinna) Oh
Corinna (Corinna)
(Hmm, ain't nothin like my Corinna)
Corinna, Corinna (Corinna)
(Hmm, ain't nothin like my Corinna)
Corinna, oh, oh, Corinna (Corinna)
(Hmm, ain't nothin like my Corinna)...

Say you love me, say I'm the one your eyes see
Tell me you need me deep down inside like I need you
You see I need you to see me through, I wanna hear you say Darling, Darling
I love you, so say, say you love me, (Say you love me) yeah, yeah
(Say you love me) Say, just say you love me
(Say you love me, say you love me) Through the rain, and through the cold
Together we will never grow old, sometimes the going will get a little tough
And I must admit living with me can be rough, I need you to see me through
I get off when you say, baby, baby, baby, I love you
(Say) So say, (say) just say you love me, wanna hear you say (say) say
(Say) you love me (you love me), oh, ooh let me be, I wanna be your woman
Together we can make a stand, I know, I know, let me take your trembling hand
Somewhere in God's country we'll settle on a piece of land
Because I need you to see me through, I just wanna hear you say
Oh, oh, oh, baby, baby, baby I love you, I love (say) you
So say (Say) say (you love me), say you love me
Oh, just wanna hear you say, say, say, (say), say, (say you love me)
Oh---oh----, (Say) Say (say) tell me baby that you love me (say)
Oh baby, oh baby, oh, (repeat say)
