Isaac Hayes - The Ultimate Isaac Hayes - Can You Dig It? [compilation] (2005) by Isaac Hayes (보컬) on maniadb.com

If you see me walking down the street
And I start to cry each time we meet
Walk on by, walk on by

Make believe
That you don't see the tears
Just let me grieve
In private 'cause each time I see you
I break down and cry
And walk on by don't stop
And walk on by don't stop
And walk on by

I just can't get over losing you
And so if I seem broken in two
Walk on by, walk on by

Foolish pride
Is all that I have left
So let me hide
The tears and the sadness you gave me
When you said goodbye
Walk on by
And walk on by
And walk by don't stop

Walk on by, walk on by
Foolish pride
Is all that I have left
So let me hide
The tears and the sadness you gave me
When you said goodbye
Walk on by don't stop
And walk on by don't stop
And walk by don't stop

Of all the things I want in the world
Is to have you to come live with me
And be my girl

You see, I've done a lot of playing around
Big cities and some smaller towns
A lot of girls, they knew my name
And were fascinated by my game

But finally there comes a time
When one leaves his past behind
Because he meets a girl like you
The likes of which he never knew

Love is here
And I know it's here to stay
So please, my dear, believe me when I say

Just as long as fire is hot
Girl, you have all the love I've got
Come live with me, girl

I've never been in love at all
Never thought I'd ever fall
But you touched my heart and soul
And you took complete control

Everyday you're on my mind
I think about you all the time
Just how beautiful it would be
If you were constantly with me

Making love with you
Is a joy I've never known
I know you feel it too
So let me take you home

'Cause just as long as fire is hot
Girl you have all the love I've got
Come live with me

And just as long as the world is round
I swear, I'll never let you down
Please live with me, girl

I'll try very hard to be
The man that you want me to be
I'll do anything to satisfy
I don't want to make you cry

True love and security
Are two things a women needs
And these things I promise to give
Just as long as I shall live

Love is here
And I know it's here to stay
So please, my dear, believe me when I say

Just as long as fire is hot
Girl you have all the love I've got
Come live with me, girl

And just as long as the world is round
I swear, I'll never let you down
Please live with me, girl

Just as long as fire is hot
Girl you have all the love I've got
Come live with me, girl

And just as long as the world is round
I swear, I'll never let you down
Come live with me, yeah, yeah

And just as long as fire is hot
You know, you've have all the love I've got
Come live with me, girl

And just as long as the world is round
I swear, I'll never let you down
Please live with me

And just as long as fire is hot
Girl, you have all the love I've got
Come live with me, yeah

And just as long as the world is round
I swear, I'll never let you down
You got to promise me that you'll
Come live with me

And just as long as fire is hot
You know that you have all the love I've got
Come live with me

Theme From Shaft

Who's the black private dick
That's a sex machine to all the chicks?
SHAFT!
Ya damn right!

Who is the man that would risk his neck
For his brother man?
SHAFT!
Can you dig it?

Who's the cat that won't cop out
When there's danger all about?
SHAFT!
Right On!

They say this cat Shaft is a bad mother
SHUT YOUR MOUTH!
I'm talkin' 'bout Shaft.
THEN WE CAN DIG IT!

He's a complicated man
But no one understands him but his woman
JOHN SHAFT!

I wanna come back
Coz I like it like that
Your modus operandi
Is really all right, out of sight
Your sweet phalanges
Know how to squeeze
My gastronomical stupensity is really satisfied when you're loving me

Now tell me, what...I...say
Hyperbolicsyllabicsesquedalymistic

I can't sleep at night
But that's all right
The M.D. tells me
My heart's on strike
Emanating originating from a love asphixiation
He said I better slow down before you drive me in the ground
But what he doesn't know is I want another encore

Now what...I...say
Hyperbolicsyllabicsesquedalymistic

Let me stop procrastinatin'
Standin' hear, and narratin'
Find my emancipator, she's a love educator
Cerebrum, cerebellum, and medulla oblongata
A slave's on a horse, everytime she explores
Just heard a discussion about a racial relationship

Now what...I...say
Hyperbolicsyllabicsesquedalymistic

I Never can say goodbye, no, no, no, no, now.
I never can say goodbye.

Even though the pain and heartache
seems to follow me wherever I go,
Though I try and try to hide my feelings,
they always seems to show,

Then you try to say you're leaving me
and I always have to say no,
tell me why is it so.

That I never can say goodbye, no, no, no, no, now.
I never can say goodbye.

Everytime I think I've had enough
and start heading for the door,
There's a very strange vibration
piercing me right through the core,
It says, "Turn around, you fool, you know you love him more and more."
Tell me why is it so.

Don't wanna let go.
Never can say goodbye.
Boy oo oo baby.
Never can say goodbye. No no no no no oo.
Oh, I never can say goodbye.
Boy oo oo.

I never can say goodbye. No no no no no oo.
Never can say goodbye, no, no, no, no, now.
I never can say goodbye.

I keep thinking that our propblems
soon are all gonna work out.
But there's that same unhappy feeling,
there's that anguish, there's that doubt.
It's the same old dizzy hangup,
can't do with you or without.
Tell me why is it so, don't wanna let you go.

By the time I get to Phoenix she'll be rising
She'll find the note I left hangin' on her door
She'll laugh when she reads the part that says I'm leavin'
'Cause I've left that girl so many times before

By the time I make Albuquerque she'll be working
She'll prob'ly stop at lunch and give me a call
But she'll just hear that phone keep on ringin'
Off the wall that's all

By the time I make Oklahoma she'll be sleepin'
She'll turn softly and call my name out loud
And she'll cry just to think I'd really leave her
Tho' time and time I try to tell her so
She just didn't know I would really go

Black man, born free
At least that's the way it's supposed to be
Chains that binds him are hard to see
Unless you take this walk with me

Place where he lives is God plenty of names
Slums, ghetto and black belt, they are one and the same
And I call it "Soulsville"

Any kind of job is hard to find
That means an increase in the welfare line
Crime rate is rising too
If you are hungry, what would you do?

Rent is two months past due and the building that's falling apart
Little boy needs a pair of shoes and this is only a part of Soulsville

Some of the brothers' got plenty of cash
Tricks on the corner, gonna see to that
Some like to smoke and some like to blow
Some are even strung out on a fifty dollar Jones

Some are trying to ditch reality by getting so high
Only to find out you can never touch the sky
'Cause your hoods are in Soulsville, oh yeah

Every Sunday morning, I can hear the old sisters say
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, trust in the Lord to make a way, oh yeah
I hope that He hear their prayers 'cause deep in their souls they believe
Someday He'll put an end to all this misery that we have in Soulsville
Oh yeah, Soulsville, Soulsville, Soulsville, Soulsville, Soulsville

It's wonderful to be in love with you
It's so nice to know that you love me too

It seems like heaven is smiling at me
The first time I saw your face
This hunger started growing in me
And those lips of yours, I just had to taste

Now that was the birth of our love affair
And since then it's grown a thousand times
You're the sweetest thing that love can bring
And I'm so glad that you're mine

And it's wonderful to be in love with you, oh, yes it is
It's so nice to know that you love me too

No one in this world is perfect
But you're the closest to perfection as one can be
You are my inspiration
You're the other half that makes the whole of me

Compliments to you from all the people who know
Is how you brighten up my world
And you keep it bright, every day and night
You are just quite a girl

It's wonderful to be in love with you, oh, yes, it is, yes, it is
It's so nice to know that you love me too

Baby, ooh baby, I wouldn't leave you if I could
Mama, ooh mama, your love is so doggone good, so good
And everyday is gonna be that way
Just as long as I'm your man

It's wonderful to be in love with you, yes it is
I said that it's so nice to know that you love me too

I need to belong to someone
It hurts to be known as no one
Will ever some sweet girl
Bring love into my world
Cause I need to belong to someone

I wanna be kissed and held tight
Want to be missed on a cold lonely night
Somebody hear my plea and call out to me
Cause I need to belong to someone

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
No one cares for me, I've never known sympathy
I hide my needs from the world with a smile
But understand, I'm only a man
And a man needs to belong to someone
A man hates to be known as no one
Will ever some sweet girl, bring love into my world, because
I need to belong to someone

Oh, I hide my needs, from the world with a smile
But understand, I'm only a man, and a man needs
To belong to someone
A man hates to be known, as no one
Oh send me a girl, to bring love into my world, cause
I need to belong to someone (need to belong) mm (to someone)

I need to be kissed
I need to be held tight
I need to be missed
I need girl to bring love into my world

I?m bonafide, socilitified
And qualified to do
Anything your heart can stand
It all depends on you

I?ll turn your world upside-down
I?ll blow your mind to pieces
You?ll recommend me to your mother
Your sister, your aunts and your nieces

The look of love
Is in your eyes
The look your smile cant disguise
The look of love
Is saying so much more
Than just words could ever say
And what my heart has heard
Well it takes my breath away

I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you

Youve got the look of love
Its on your face
A look that time cant erase
Be mine tonight
Let this be just the start
Of so many nights like this
Lets take a lovers vow
And then seal it with a kiss

I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you
Dont ever go

I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you
Dont ever go
Dont ever go
I love you so

If the music make you move,
'cause you can really groove
Then groove on, groove on

If you feel like you wanna make love
Under the stars above
Love on, love on

If there's something you wanna say,
And talkin' is the only way
Rap on, oh, rap on

'Cause whatever you do,
Oh, you've got to do your thing

If you feel like you wanna scream
'Cause that's your way of lettin' off steam
Scream on, scream on

If you feel like you wanna sing
'Cause singing is your thing
Sing on, sing on

If you wanna make love all night
And you feel it's right
Right on, right on

'Cause whatever you do, oh,
You've got to do your thing
Do your thing...

(Kris Kristofferson)

Don't look so sad, I know it's over.
But life goes on, and this old world will keep on turning.
Let's just be glad we had some time to spend together.
There's no need to watch the bridges that we're burning.

Lay your head upon my pillow.
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine.
Hear the whisper of the raindrops,
Blowin' soft against the window,
And make believe you love me one more time,
For the good times.

I'll get along; you'll find another,
And I'll be here if you should find you ever need me.
Don't say a word about tommorrow or forever,
There'll be time enough for sadness when you leave me.

Lay your head upon my pillow.
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine.
Hear the whisper of the raindrops,
Blowin' soft against the window,
And make believe you love me one more time,
For the good times

(Jerry Butler, William Butler)

I stand accused
Of lovin' you too much
And I hope, I hope it's not a crime
'Cause if it is, I'm guilty
Of lovin' you, you, you

I, I hope to God
That I never have, oh, to testify
'Cause if I do
Everyone is gonna, they're gonna cry
They're gonna say
[Incomprehensible] is guilty
Of lovin' a sweet girl like you

I know, I know
You belong to another
I, I may not stand a ghost of a chance
I'll stand on top of Mount Everest
And proudly tell the world that I love ya
Oh yes, I will

Because I, I just can't
I can't help myself
I'm a victim of circumstance

And just one
Ooh, one touch of your hand
I don't know how it happened
But just look at me
I find myself chillin'
On the witness stand

And I'm shoutin' out
All over, all over the land
[Incomprehensible]
I'm guilty of lovin', lovin' you

I'm guilty of lovin' you
I said, I'm guilty
But what can I do?
I wanna hold ya
I wanna squeeze ya tight
But my mind said
She belong to another
And that ain't right
