gladys knight and the pips - the man i love

The Man I Love
George Gershwin/Ira Gershwin

Someday he'll come along
The man I love
And he'll be big and strong
The man I love
And when he comes my way
I'll do my best to make him stay
He'll look at me and smile
I'll understand
And in a little while
He'll take my hand
And though it seems absurd
I know we both won't say a word
Maybe I shall meet him
Sunday Maybe Monday
Maybe not
Still I'm sure to meet him one day
Maybe Tueday
Will be my good news day
He'll build a little home
Just meant dor two
From which I'd never roam
Who would, would you?
And so all else above
I'm waiting for the man I love

gladys knight and the pips - for once in my life

For once in my life
I have someone who needs me
Someone I needed so long
For once unafraid
I can go where life leads me
And somehow I know Ill be strong

For once I can touch
What my heart used to dream of
Long before I knew
Ooh, ooh, ooh, someone warm like you
Would ever dream of makin my dreams come true

For once in my life
I wont let sorrow hurt me
Not like its hurt me before, oh
For once I have something I know wont desert me
Cause Im not alone anymore

For once I can say
This is mine, you cant take it
As long as I know Ive got love I can make it
For once in my life
Ive got that someone who needs me
Mmm...hmm...hmm...

For once I can say
This is sho nuff mine, you cant take it
As long as I know Ive got love I can make it
For once in my life
Ive got that someone who needs me

Oh, yes, he does
Ive got that someone who needs me
He told me this mornin that he needed me
Mmm...mmm...I believe

gladys knight and the pips - so sad the song

I know that we both talked it over,
And said, it's best to forget
We'll leave all our memories behind us
It's better that in the end

So sad the song
Of too empty lives
When that moment of truth
Suddenly arrives

And so sad the song
Of what might have been
You see a lifetime of dreams
Scattered in the wind

Together
We belong together
Never was that one lovely word
Easier to say

And so sad the song
Of just remembering when
Knowing the love of your life
Will never come again

So sad the song
That says, Goodbye

Together
We belong together
And I'll love you forever
On that you can rely

So would it be wrong
To give our love
Just one more try

So sad the song
That says, Goodbye
That says, Goodbye

gladys knight and the pips - daddy could swear i declare

Oh, oh, yeah
Yeah, oh my mercy

Ooh, how I remember, daddy
He was young and had a built in tan yeah
And though he only stood about a five feet seven
My daddy was a heck of a man
Yes, he was, y'all

He loved us all and we knew it
Though he showed it in a very funny way
For most of the time
He was a cussin' and fussin'
When he said what he had to say
Now, now, now

Daddy couldn't read
Daddy couldn't write
But one thing daddy sure could do right
He could swear
Oh, Lord
I declare
Yes, he could, y'all
Daddy could swear, I declare
Have mercy

I still remember seein' him in the backyard
Just a-pickin' and a-paintin' away
Woo, woo, woo, woo

Ooh, my brothers and sisters still talk about how
Daddy lost his temper that day
You see, he built a picket fence from the garage to the house
Well, Sam, tell me what I say
The same day the garbage man backed into the fence
And the whole darn thing gave way
You should have been there

Daddy couldn't read
Daddy couldn't write
One thing daddy sure could do right
He could swear
Oh, Lord
I declare
Yes, he could, y'all
Daddy could swear, I declare
Yes, he could, y'all

Tell'em about
Tell about your daddy

My daddy was a bad mouth
Watch ya say, watch your mouth
My daddy was a bad mouth
Watch ya say, watch your mouth
My daddy was a bad mouth
Watch ya say, watch your mouth
Oow

Daddy wasn't no scholar, no
No, he didn't have PhD
But in my eyes and down in my heart
My daddy means the world to me

He'll probably go out
(Talkin' about daddy)
Cursin', just a-fussin'
And a-bein' mad
But I hope the good lord will understand
That daddy's is just bein' my dad

Daddy couldn't read
Daddy couldn't write
But one thing daddy sure could do right
He could swear
Oh, Lord
I declare
Yes he could, y'all
Daddy could swear, I declare

gladys knight and the pips - between her goodbye and my hello

I wish I could have met you
In a year or two
Ah, maybe then you could have seen me
What I saw in you
On the day we met
You were still trying to forget someone
You used to know
And there just wasn't enough time
Between her goodbye and my hello

Boy, I want to try for a while
But I could always see
A place I can fill
To love for a memory
'Cos at the mention of her name
I could still see the flame burning
Soft and low
And there just wasn't enough time
Between her goodbye and my hello

Oh, time is the healer, I want you to know
Especially those heartbreaking kind
Lord, it looks like I just came along too soon
'Cos she still takes up too much of your mind
If I pass that on, it cost on a later day
I know we could have made it, baby
We're almost fading it away

But you weren't completely free
'Cos someone else's memory
Just wouldn't let you go
And there just wasn't enough time
Between her goodbye

In between her goodbye and my hello
In between her goodbye and my hello
In between her goodbye and my hello
In between her goodbye and my hello
In between her goodbye and my hello
Baby, all we needed was a little more time
I needed that time to build the thing and make you mine

gladys knight and the pips - i ve got to use my imagination

I've really got to use my imagination
To think of good reasons
To keep on keepin' on

Got to make the best of a bad situation
Ever since that day
I woke up and found
That you were gone

Darkness all around me
Blackin out the sun
Old friends call me
But I just don't feel like talkin to anyone

Emptiness has found me
And it just won't let me go
I go right on livin'
But why I just don't know

Staring down reality
Don't do me no good
'Cause our misunderstanding
Is too well understood

Such a sad, sad season
When a good love dies.
Not a day goes by
When I dont realize

I've really got to use my imagination
To think of good reasons
To keep on keepin' on

I got to make the best of a bad situation
Ever since that day
I woke up and found
That you were gone

gladys knight and the pips - it should have been me

I saw my love walking down the aisle
And as he passed me by
He turned and gave me a smile
Then, the preacher, then the preacher
The preacher joined their hands
And all the people, all the people began to stand
When I shouted, "you know it should have been me"
(Instead of her walking with you)

You are leaving me stranded
You know that it should have been me baby
Oh baby gettin' ready to marry you
Darlin' darlin' darlin'
You made a promise that we would never part
Then you turned around and broke my little heart
Now you're standing there saying I do
Holding hands with somebody new
You know that it should have been me
(I can't stand it)
Instead of her standing by you
You know that it should have been me
It should have been me
(Baby don't do it)
Then the preacher oh yeah the preacher asked
That there be silence please

If anybody objects to this wedding
Speak now or forever or forever hold your peace
Thin I shouted, "It should have been me"
You know that it should have been me
Don't you know that it should have been me
You know that it should have been me
I've been faithful to you baby, baby, baby
You were leaving me stranded

gladys knight and the pips - you need love like i do

Well, well, well, well
Seems like it was only yesterday
When my mama told me don't fall in love
With the first guy that comes your way
He was handsome and nice
But I took her advice and passed him by
Years have passed and don't look
Like love's gonna give me a second try
Boy the look on your face tells me you understand
could it be your love life's like mine
Needs a helping hand well, well
You need love like I do (don't you).

Boy I can tell by the way
You look when I'm looking at you
I know it ain't fit and proper
for a girl to talk this way
But I can't cope with this loneliness
Not one more doggone day
Everyday has been an uphill climb
Keeping my hopes a-float
Judging from your silence boy
You must be in the same boat
ain't it true now
You need love like I do (don't you)
Boy I can tell by the way you look
When I'm looking at you

Well, well, well you need love
Like I do (don't you)

Boy it seems like I'm looking in the mirror
When I'm looking at you
I can't begin to tell
The many nights I sit home lonely
Come on and tell me boy
Has it ever happened to you
Boy I'm gonna tell you something
And believe me it ain't no joke
My love life is just like a sinking boat
I can understand a person being without money
But there sho' ain't no reason
For a person to be without love
Listen to me now
I'm a girl and you're a guy
So come on let's give love a try
Tell me lil' boy
You need love like I do (don't you)
I can tell by the way you look
When I'm looking at you
Boy finding true love is a dream
That everyone wants to come true
Boy can't you see it's up to us
To make this dream come true oh.

gladys knight and the pips - best thing that ever happened to me

I've had my share of life's ups and downs
But fate's been kind, the downs have been few
I guess you could say that I've been lucky
Well, I guess you could say that it's all because of you

If anyone should ever write my life story
For whatever reason there might be
Ooo, you'll be there between each line of pain and glory
'Cause you're the best thing that ever happened to me
Ah, you're the best thing that ever happened to me

Oh, there have been times when times were hard
But always somehow I made it, I made it through
'Cause for every moment that I've spent hurting
There was a moment that I spent, ah, just loving you

If anyone should ever write my life story
For whatever reason there might be
Oh, you'll be there between each line of pain and glory
'Cause you're the best thing that ever happened to me
Oh, you're the best thing that ever happened to me
I know, you're the best thing, oh, that ever happened to me

gladys knight and the pips - do you hear what i hear

Do You Hear What I Hear?

Said the night wind to the little lamb,
"Do you see what I see?
Way up in the sky, little lamb,
Do you see what I see?
A star, a star, dancing in the night
With a tail as big as a kite,
With a tail as big as a kite."

Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy,
"Do you hear what I hear?
Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy,
Do you hear what I hear?
A song, a song high above the trees
With a voice as big as the the sea,
With a voice as big as the the sea."

Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king,
"Do you know what I know?
In your palace warm, mighty king,
Do you know what I know?
A Child, a Child shivers in the cold--
Let us bring him silver and gold,
Let us bring him silver and gold."

Said the king to the people everywhere,
"Listen to what I say!
Pray for peace, people, everywhere,
Listen to what I say!
The Child, the Child sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light,
He will bring us goodness and light."

gladys knight and the pips - love overboard

They tell me, gladys, you know you love too hard
But I tell 'em, not nearly hard enough
They say, girlfriend, you know you go too far
Around the world ain't far enough
'Cause I only wanna show you, what you mean to me
Everytime I'm reachin' out to you, I start to sink
I may be drowning with desire from your sweet, sweet touch
I don't care what people say 'cause I love you so much

Love overboard
My love's in need of help
Love overboard
I sure can't help myself
Love overboard
I don't know what to do
Love overboard
I'm so in love with you, baby

Baby, they say I work too hard
Not really, when it comes to lovin' you
You've got my overtime, you bring me peace of mind
And there's so much more I'd like to do
I only wanna find the love my heart's been searchin' for
I'd climb most every mountain swim from shore to shore
Just to feel the soft caress from your warm embrace
In this ocean of love, no one can take your place

Love overboard
Oh, my love's in need of help
Love overboard
Sure can't help myself
Love overboard
I don't know what to do
Love overboard
So in love with you

Love overboard
I'm running out of time
Love overboard
I'm 'bout to lose my mind
Love overboard
I don't know what to do
Love overboard
I'm so in love with you

All my friends keep telling me to let you go
Between the two of us how could they ever know
About the love you been givin'?
Seems some people like to live their life so very close
I like to let go sometime, so I can flow with the time
I've done made up my mind, you're the only one for me
Oh, my love's overboard

(Gladys, gladys, gladys)
I'm overboard
Can't help myself
I'm overboard
Uh, the bottom may be deep
But your love, so very sweet
Well overboard

Love overboard
Love overboard
So in love with you

Love overboard
Runnin' out of time
Love overboard
About to lose my mind
Love overboard
I don't know what to do
Love overboard
So in love with you

Spinnin', fallin'
People, aah, people
Love's callin', I'm fallin'
S-o-s-o-s-o-s-o-s

Love's overboard
My love's in need of help
Love overboard
I just can't help myself

Love overboard
I don't know what to do
Love overboard
