N/A

Oh the world's situation should be rated X, oh rated X

Said the world's situation should be rated X, yeah rated X

Listen people, let only in the movie show

Take a look outside, I swear the truth is really told

It's life in living color; fighting, killing, drug-dealing, it's everywhere

What about the crime? Rated X

What about the killing, fighting, stealing everywhere?

They let the children see life destroyed

But they won't let them see its making

What happened to God's creations?

The one thing that really bothers me the most

Is how we come, how we take the lives of the fold

The world today is in a grave situation

Dirty water we can't drink, dirty air, it's so unfair



Na na na... Oh I know something's missing all over the world

Ooo, rated X (several times over sax solo)

Oh I know something's missing all over the world



The world's situation should be rated X, rated X

The world's situation should be rated X, rated X

What about the crime? Rated X

What about the killing, fighting, stealing everywhere?

They let the children see life destroyed

But they won't let them see its making

What happened to God's creations?

Where're the wars, where's the peace?

Where's the joy, where's the woe for us all?

Love is kneelin', rated X

Hate is overweight, rated X

I guess I'd have to say this album is

dedicated to you.

Although perhaps you may not be happy,

this is what you want,

so I conceded.

I hope it makes you happy.

There's a lot of truth in it, babe.



I don't think I'll have many regrets, baby.

Things didn't have to be the way they was, baby.

You don't have the right to use the son of mine

to keep me in line.

One thing I can't do without

is the boy whom God gave to both of us.

I'm so happy, oh, for the son of mine.



So here it is, babe.

I hope you enjoy, reminisce, be happy,

think about the kisses and the joy.

But there were those other moments too,

the times that were cloudy and grey.

Bad.

But you taught me that was life.

May love ever possess you,

may peace come into your life.

Always think of me the way I was.

Ha, I was your baby.



This is what you wanted.

Here, dear, here it is.

Here, my dear, here it is.

Now you're moving on up, pretty baby

You're leaving me behind

Everybody seems to love you

Oh, you're doing just fine, fine, fine



But take away your good looks

And all your fancy clothes

Why don't you just

Try it baby

Try it baby

Try it baby

Try it baby



You'll see

Nobody loves you but me



Now you tell me that you so busy, pretty baby

You ain't got much time

Oh, how will I remember

When all your time was mine, mine, mine



Well move on back cross the track, baby

Where you came from

Why don't you just

Try it baby

Try it baby

Try it baby

Try it baby



You'll see

That nobody loves you but me

Nobody loves you but me



I really want to hold you, pretty baby

In my arms again

But I can't get close to you

For all your loving friend, friend, friend

But take your name from the bright lights baby

And tell me that you are all through

Come on and

Try it honey

Try it baby

Try it sweetheart

Try it honey

You'll see, nobody loves you but me

Ooh, now let's get down tonight

Baby I'm hot just like an oven

I need some lovin'

And baby, I can't hold it much longer

It's getting stronger and stronger

And when I get that feeling

I want Sexual Healing

Sexual Healing, oh baby

Makes me feel so fine

Helps to relieve my mind

Sexual Healing baby, is good for me

Sexual Healing is something that's good for me

Whenever blue tear drops are falling

And my emotional stability is leaving me

There is something I can do

I can get on the telephone and call you up baby, and

Honey I know you'll be there to relieve me

The love you give to me will free me

If you don't know the things you're dealing

I can tell you, darling, that it's Sexual Healing

Get up, Get up, Get up, Get up, let's make love tonight

Wake up, Wake up, Wake up, Wake up, 'cos you do it right

Baby I got sick this morning

A sea was storming inside of me

Baby I think I'm capsizing

The waves are rising and rising

And when I get that feeling

I want Sexual Healing

Sexual Healing is good for me

Makes me feel so fine, it's such a rush

Helps to relieve the mind, and it's good for us

Sexual Healing, baby, is good for me

Sexual Healing is something that's good for me

And it's good for me and it's good to me

My baby ohhh

Come take control, just grab a hold

Of my body and mind soon we'll be making it

Honey, oh we're feeling fine

You're my medicine open up and let me in

Darling, you're so great

I can't wait for you to operate

I can't wait for you to operate

When I get this feeling, I need Sexual Healing (ad lib)



(while ad libing, he sings something like:

darling please don't procrastinate

'cause I may have to masturbate)

World, I'm not the same.

I can't remember my name half the time.

I took a walk - I thought I'd get some air -

but was really not aware of what I said or what I did.

I never see the dark of night or the light of day.

I took a walk into the park and never saw the children play.

Everything I see is a crazy kind of mystery to me.

I'm flirting with the mother of insanity.

Oh, babe, where is my mind?

Since you left me it's been hard to find.

Oh where, where is my mind?

It started to rain, and I felt insane,

but one thing's for sure:

It's going to rain forever more

until you come back to me.

Please, babe...



World, I'm not the same.

I go somewhere and can't remember how I came.

I'm completely turned around, lost in space.

It's your face I see constantly.

I never know from right or wrong, or anything.

I'm like a desperate man,

just see me try to cling

to the only other parts you've left to me. (*not sure*)

I'm flirting, I'm flirting with uncertainty.

Oh, bring back my mind.

Since you left me, honey,

I can't find it.

Oooh, honey, bring back my mind.

I'm starting to say (*really don't think this is right, so I'll check*)

more and more every day.

Please release my soul.

Give me back control of my mind.

Only you can save me.

I met a little girl, sure was fine

Pretty little thing just about blew my mind

She took me home and ahh made love to me

I knew right then and there this is where I wanted to be

Most of my life I had been all, all alone

And you're so sweet to me, don't think i'll ever roam

And then one day as time will pass

I had this feeling that our love would last

Nothing could go wrong and it seemed everything I did

Seemed to please you, all the heartaches you hid



Then one night after we made it, and we were through

That's when I decided I wanted to marry you



Do you take this woman to be your lawful wedded wife

To love, hold and cherish for the rest of your life?

I do, yes I do, I do darlin'

'Cause I love you



1964



Once you really loved me

Once I really loved you



1976



Then time would change you

As time would really change me

We thought our love would stand the test of time

And as I sing this song right now I wonder today, today

If you're a friend of mine



Cry cry cyr-I have done some crying

Woman, you have caused my tears to flow

Cry cry cry-d you cry about me?

Dou you think about the kind of love we had?

Well it's too bad, it's just too sad

You don't want me

But I want to change your mind

Some ways, somehow

To share it's freshness, pure and fair

Oh don't play with suffering,

You should cherish for life

Don't you want to care

And in lonely I bear

Darlin', there comes a time in everybody's life

They may learn as I've learned

That being loved is more important than paintin' the town

Only noon and night

'Cause my life may have bright lights

But I've learned in time they go dim

But your love and tender arms, I can always come home to them

I used to have more friends than I could count

But now all of my so-called friends are gone

'Cause I've lost everything in my bank account

Darlin', I'm tired of runnin' 'round

So in your arms I'm gonna settle down

'Cause if I don't have a dime, I know your love is mine

Darlin', everybody need somebody, ooo I need you

I know now, nobody really loves me, honey honey honey, the way you do

Only to learn the only true happiness is being, honey, being loved by you

That's why...

Honey you do me wrong but still i'm crazy about you

Stay away too long and i can't do without you

Every chance you get you seem to hurt me more and more

But each hurt makes my love stronger than before

I know flowers go through rain

But how can love go through pain



Ain't that peculiar

A peculiar ality

Ain't that peculiar baby

Peculiar as can be



You tell me lies that should be obvious to me

I've been so much in love with you baby til i don't wanna see

That things you do and say are designed to make me blue

It's a dog gone shame my love for you makes all

Your lies seem true

But if the truth makes love last longer

Why do lies make my love stronger



Ain't that peculiar

A peculiar ality

Ain't that peculiar baby

Peculiar as can be



I cried so much just like a child thats lost its home

Maybe baby you think these tears i cry are tears of joy

A child can cry so much until you do everything they say

But unlike a child my tears don't help me to get my way

I know love can last through years

But how can love last through tears

Up and down my back, my spine, in my brain

It injures me, babe....



Anger, can make you old, yes it can

I said anger, can make you sick, children... oh Jesus

Anger destroys your soul

Rage, there's no room for rage in there

There's no room for rage in here

line up some place to go to be mad

It's a sin to treat your body bad



When anger really gets the best of us

We've really lost our heads

We often say a lof of things, oh darlin'

Wish we'd never said

Oh, reason is beyond control

And the things we do spite

Makes me ashamed

And I mean this, baby, makes me want to the things right



Someday soon I hope and pray like Jesus

I'll reach that wiser age

Hope I will learn I really never never profit

>From things I do in rage



One more time-anger, more ager

When it's flaming hot

Anger burns to the bitter end

Know what i'm talkin' 'bout

When it cools I find out too late

I have lost at love, love, love, dear friend

I said, anger will make you sick,

children, oh Jesus

Anger destroys your soul



I ain't gonna let you get the best of me, babe

I'm gonna go somewhere and cool

This is not the way my head's supposed to be, babe

You've got me feelin' like some silly fool

But I know a real nice place where I can go

And feel the way i'm supposed to feel



I don't want to be mad at nobody

I don't want to be feelin' bad

Up and down my back, my spine, in my brain

It injures me, babe



Anger, can make you old, yes it can

I said anger will make you sick, children, oh Jesus

Anger destroys your soul

You better forget him now that he's gone (now that he's gone)

Listen to me, little darlin'

The road of love is rough sometimes

You better forget him now that he's gone

Wipe away your tears

Love is here today and gone tomorrow

Special love

Sitting down see the flower

On the window tops

And the mountain

See the rain

And the warm lit sun

On the beaches and sand

Comes a man with a plan to renew the world

Up in rasta land

Hungry boys and girls

He lived up to his part

And he died with a cause in his heart

Jamaica special love

So stupid minded.

In the morning, I'll be alright, my friend.

But soon the night will bring the pains,

The pain, oh the pain

Flying high in the friendly sky

Without ever leaving the ground

And I ain't seen nothing but trouble baby

Nobody really understands, no no

And I go to the place where the good feelin' awaits me

Selfdestruction in my hand

Super freaks hanging out

Wall to wall

They tell me something's going on in the men's room

Soon as we come out we'll be high soon

Get in the groove and boogie to the beat baby

Shake it baby, shake it pretty

Get in the groove baby, and boogie to the beat

I had to stop

I had to stop in the middle of a bop

I had to stop

I got the rhythm

Love is everywhere for the making

Freaks is everywhere for the taking

Blues is in the air if you sing it

Happiness come back if you bring it

I'm having me a good time

For you to understand what this means, I shall explain

Yes, I'd forget it all once in bed with you

You set my soul on fire, my one desire

Was to love you and think of you with pride

And keep you satisfied, oh baby oh baby

We could not bear the mental strain

Leave you, I laugh at men too

Now you see how much you hurt me

But if you ever need me, I'll be by your side

Though the many happy times we had

Can never really outweigh the bad

Oh I'll never love nobody like I loved you baby

(I'll stay by your side)

Now I know you've heard about me

Bad things about me, baby, please let me explain

(Don't you listen to that jive)

Oh, I have kissed a few

I tell you, a few have kissed me too

I guess I'm just a stubborn kind of fellow

Got my mind made up to love you



(repeat and fade):

Ah say yeah yeah yeah, say yeah yeah yeah

M:

If I could build my whole world around you, darlin'

First I'd put heaven by your side

Pretty flowers would grow wherever you walk, honey

And over your head would be the bluest sky

And I'd take every drop of rain

And wash all your troubles away

I'd have the whole world built around you

And that would be all right, oh yes it would



T:

If I could build my whole world around you

I'd make your eyes the morning sun

I'd put so much love where there is sorrow

I'd put joy where there's never been love

And I'd give my love to you

To keep for the rest of your life

And happiness would surely be ours

And that would be all right, oh yes it would



BOTH: Doo doo doo doo...



M: Oh, if I could build my whole world around you

I'd give you the greatest gift any woman could possess

T: And I'd step into this world you've created

And give you true love and tenderness

And there'd be something new with every tomorrow

To make this world better as days go by



(repeat and fade):

M: If I could build my whole world around you

T: If I could build my whole world around you

BOTH: Then that would be all right, oh yeah

One more heartache, I can't take it

My heart is carryin' such a heavy load

One more ache would break it

Just like the camel with the heavy back

One last straw was added, they say it broke the camel's back



Ah (ah) ah (ah)

I can't take it, I can't stand it



One more heartache, it would turn me right around

First you build my hopes up high and then you let me down

Like the house you built from toothpicks stacked upon the kitchen table

One last toothpick tore it down; the foundation was not able



Ah (ah) ah (ah)

I can't take it, I can't stand it

No no no baby



Oh baby, one more heartache would be too much load

I'm fed up with the heartaches; one more and I will explode

Like the toy balloon that's filled with as much air as it can take

One more puff of air and that balloon has got to burst



Ah (ah) ah (ah)

I can't take it, I can't stand it

No, honey, not another

Oh you've got a smile like a sweet lovin' angel, oh baby

And you've got a heart that's made of pure gold, oh baby

You've given me so much that I'm grateful of such a faithful love

And it gets sweeter as the days go by, sweeter as the days go by



Oh I'd be lost without you baby, now don't ever leave me

'Cause your sweet kiss turns on my sunshine, oh yeah baby

At night the stars, they wink at you, I-hi-hi have seen them, baby

Ah but I guess every single star knows how sweet you are

You get sweeter as the days go by, sweeter, honey, as the days go by



(Backing vocals, over sax solo: Just a little sweeter, baby) (x4)



Now there are so many reasons for me to love you, oh baby

And I'm so lucky to have you and that's no lie, no baby

Yes, you're a candymaker's dream come true, and darlin', sugar has nothin' on you

And you get sweeter as the days go by, sweeter as the days go by

Honey, you're sweeter than honey, you're sweeter than sugar

You think you're so way out

And you got all the action

Still you can't find no satisfaction

Baby - try me, and I'll make you see



You ain't livin' until you're lovin', baby

You ain't livin' until you're lovin', baby

Ooh, until you fall you ain't livin' at all

Ah ah, at all



You like to kiss and run

And that's where it is

'Cause somebody told you

love was heartaches and tears

baby, although you're free

I'll make you see



You ain't livin' until you're lovin', baby

You ain't livin' until you're lovin', baby

Oh, until you fall you ain't livin' at all

You ain't livin' at all



To be in love, I know it's not your ambition

but before you go, think about my proposition

you may conquer the world and be king on a throne

but you still ain't nobody, baby

when you're sittin' all alone



You ain't livin' until you're lovin', baby

You ain't livin' until you're lovin', baby

Ooh, until you fall you ain't livin' at all

Ooh, I bet you're wondering how I knew

'bout you're plans to make me blue

with some other guy that you knew before.

Between the two of us guys

you know I love you more.

It took me by surprise I must say,

when I found out yesterday.

Don't you know that...



Chorus:

I heard it through the grapevine

not much longer would you be mine.

Oh I heard it through the grapevine,

Oh and I'm just about to lose my mind.

Honey, honey yeah.



I know that a man ain't supposed to cry,

but these tears I can't hold inside.

Losin' you would end my life you see,

cause you mean that much to me.

You could have told me yourself

that you love someone else.

Instead...



Chorus



People say believe half of what you see,

son, and none of what you hear.

I can't help bein' confused

if it's true please tell me dear?

Do you plan to let me go

for the other guy you loved before?

Don't you know...

Ooo, you say you're feelin' bad 'cause

The least thing makes you cry

Sounds like a real bad case

Of a girl who needs a guy

I think I know the perfect jewel

One you ought to try

Take a heart that's full of love

On this you can rely



CHORUS:

If you need some quick reaction, take this heart of mine

And if you need some satisfaction, take this heart of mine

And if you're tired of being lonely, take this heart of mine

I think I can help you if you'll only take this heart of mine



I may not be a doctor who can cure your ills

Goodbye to all those different drugs and hard-swallowed pills

My remedy is older than the tale of Jack and Jill

My prescription is the kind you love to have refilled



(chorus)



Got a lovin' side (this heart of mine)

That's pure as gold (this heart of mine)

Take it, it's yours (this heart of mine)

To have and to hold (this heart of mine)

And if you do that, baby (this heart of mine)

After we grow old (this heart of mine)

It'll be the greatest love story (this heart of mine)

That was ever told (this heart of mine)

Oh, baby (one more time, let's hold)



Oh, medicine won't cure you

Just leave you at the most

The relief is only temporary

Pretty soon will go

But love can last a lifetime

When two hearts are close

Take as much as you want to

There is no overdose

Hey baby, what'cha know good

I'm just gettin' back, but you knew I would

War is hell, when will it end,

When will people start gettin' together again

Are things really gettin' better, like the newspaper said

What else is new my friend, besides what I read

Can't find no work, can't find no job my friend

Money is tighter than it's ever been

Say man, I just don't understand

What's going on across this land

Ah what's happening brother,

Oh ya, what's happening my man

Are they still gettin' down where we used to go and dance

Will our ball club win the pennant,

do you think they have a chance

And tell me friend, how in the world have you been.

Tell me what's out and I want to know what's in.

What's the deal man, what's happening

What's happening brother

Ah what's happening brother

What's happening my man

Ah what's happening brother

What's been shaken up and down the line

I want to know cause I'm slightly behind the time.

How sweet it is to be loved by you

How sweet it is to be loved by you



I needed the shelter of someone's arms and there you were

I needed someone to understand my ups and downs

and there you were

With sweet love and devotion

deeply touching my emotion

I want to stop and thank you baby

I just want to stop and thank you baby



How sweet it is to be loved by you

How sweet it is to be loved by you



I close my eyes at night,

wondering where would I be without you in my life

Everything I did was just a bore,

everywhere I went it seems I'd been there before

But you brightened up for me all of my days

With a love so sweet in so many ways

I want to stop and thank you baby

I want to stop and thank you baby



How sweet it is to be loved by you

How sweet it is to be loved by you



You were better to me than I've been to myself

For me, there's you and there ain't nobody else

I want to stop and thank you baby

I just want to stop and thank you baby



(repeat and fade):

How sweet it is to be loved by you

How sweet it is to be loved by you

You know, when you say your marriage vows, they're supposed to be for real. I mean...

if you think back about what you really said, you know, about, honor and loving and

obeying till death do us part and all. But it shouldn't be that way, it should...it

should, it shouldn't be lies because it turns out to be lies. If you don't honor what

you said, you lie to God. The words should be changed.



Ooo now as I recall, we tried a million times

Again and again and again, and that isn't all

I gave my love to you each time to make amends

Suddenly I start to realize I can't make it

Pretty birds fly away, I had to leave you for my health's sake

What to do? Make you pay, for leaving you, my fine, is to pay forever

So if a fresh new love comes in, I won't say those words again

Instead I'll say I'll try to love and protect you

With all my heart as long as you want me to baby



Ooo if I love again I'm gonna try a new way this time

Memories of the things we did; some we're proud of, some we hid

So when two people have to part, sometimes it makes them stronger

Do you remember all of the bullshit, baby?

You say you love me with all your heart

If you ever loved me will all of your heart

You'd never take a million dollars to part

I really tried, you know I tried, oh baby

Although we tried, all of those promises was nothin' but lies

I really tried, you know how I really tried, we really lied, didn't we baby?

And on top of that you have scandalized my name

What I can't understand is if you love me

How could you turn me into the police?

Didn't I love you good and try to take care of you?

Best that I could

You were so divine

And your love was like mellow wine

Pains of love, miles of tears,

Enough to last me for my lifetime

Broken hearts last for years, soon break away to the noonday sunshine

One thing I can promise, friend: I'll never be back again

But I'm not really bitter babe

I wish you all the luck and all the love in the world,

good love in the world (good luck in the world)

But I know you'll never be satisfied

No, you still want me standin' by your side



Memories haunt you all the time, I will never leave your mind

Got judgement on your side; you've said bad things and you've lied

Still I remember some of the good things baby

Like love after dark and picnics in parks

Those are the days I'll not forget in my life

I'd rather remember, remember the joy we shared babe

I'd rather remember all the fun we had

All I ever really wanted was to love you and treat you right

All we did was fuss and fight

It don't matter baby, take a lesson from them all

I never thought I'd see the day when you'd put me through what you put me through

You tried your best, you say I gave you no rest



(repeat and fade):

When did you stop loving me? When did I stop loving you?

Listen everybody, especially you girls

Is it right to be left alone

While the one you love is never home?

I love too hard, my friends sometimes say

But I believe, I believe

That a woman should be loved that way

But it hurts me so inside

To see her treat me so unkind

Somebody, somewhere tell her it's unfair



Can I get a witness?

Can I get a witness?

Can I get a witness?

Somebody



Is it right to be treated so bad

When you've given everything you had?

Even tossin' in my sleep

'Cause I haven't seen my baby all week

Now, you chicks do agree

That this ain't the way love's supposed to be

Let me hear, let me hear you say yeah, yeah



Up early in the morning with her on my mind

Just to find out all night that I've been cryin'

But I believe a woman's a man's best friend

So I'm gonna stick by her till the very end

But she causes so much misery I forget how

Love is supposed to be

Somebody, somewhere, tell her it ain't fair



Can I get a witness?

I want a witness

Witness, witness

Witness, witness



Everybody knows, especially you girls

Love can be sad

But I have a love that's twice as bad

Now all you chicks agree

That this ain't the way its's supposed to be

Let me hear you, let me hear you say yeah, yeah



I want a witness

I want a witness

I want a witness

I want a witness
