As a matter of opinion, I think he's tops, My opinion is, He's the cream of the crop, As a matter of taste, To be exact, He's my ideal, As a matter of fact. No muscle bound man, Could take my hand, From my guy. (My guy) No handsome face, Could ever take the place, Of my guy, (My guy) He may not be a movie star, But when it comes to being happy, We are, There's not a man today, Who can take me away, From my guy.

Hoverin' by my suitcase
Tryin' to find a warm place to spend the night A heavy rain a fallin' Seems I hear your voice callin' "It's all right" A rainy night in Georgia A rainy night in Georgia I believe it's rainin' all over the world Neon signs a flashin' Taxi cabs and busses passin' through the night The distant moanin' of a train Seems to play a sad refrain to the night A rainy night in Georgia A rainy night in Georgia I believe it's rainin' all over the world How many times I've wondered It still comes out the same No matter how you look at it, think of it You just got to do your own thing I find me a place in a box car So I take out my guitar to pass some time Late at night when it's hard to rest I hold your picture to my chest And I'm all right A rainy night in Georgia A rainy night in Georgia I believe it's rainin' all over the world |

You better knock, knock on wood, baby. I'm not superstitious about ya but I can't take no chance. I got me spinnin', baby, you know I'm in a trance. 'Cause your love is better than any love I know. It's like thunder and lightning, the way you love me is frightening. You better knock, knock on wood, baby.

There is a rose
in Spanish Harlem A red rose up in Spanish Harlem It is a special one, it's never seen the sun It only comes out when the moon is on the run And all the stars are gleaming It's growing in the street right up through the concrete But soft and sweet and dreamin' There is a rose in Spanish Harlem A red rose up in Spanish Harlem With eyes as black as coal that look down in my soul And starts a fire there and then I lose control I have to beg your pardon I'm going to pick that rose and watch her as she grows in my garden I'm going to pick that rose and watch her as she grows in my garden (There is a rose in Spanish Harlem) (There is a rose in Spanish Harlem) (There is a rose in Spanish Harlem) |

(Spoken:)
I was born and raised down in Alabama On a farm way back up in the woods I was so ragged the folks used to call me Patches Papa used to tease me about it 'Course deep down inside He was hurt 'cause he'd done all he could My papa was a great old man I can see him with a shovel in his hand See, education he never had He did wonders when the times got bad The little money from the crops he raised Barely paid the bills we made Oh life had kicked him down to the ground When he tried to get up life would kick him back down One day papa called me to his dyin' bed Put his hands on my shoulders And in tears he said He said "Patches, I'm depending on you son, To pull the family through, My son, it's all left up to you" (Spoken:) Two days later papa passed away And I became a man that day So I told mama I was gonna quit school But she said that was daddy's strictest rule So every morning 'fore I went to school I fed the chickens and I chopped wood too Sometimes I felt that I couldn't go on I wanted to leave just run away from home But I would remember what my daddy said With tears in his eyes on his dyin' bed He said, "Patches, I'm depending on you son I tried to do my best, It's up to you to do the rest" (Spoken:) Then one day a strong rain came And washed all the crops away And at the age of thirteen I thought I was carrying The weight of the whole world on my shoulders And you know, mama knew what I was going through, 'cause Everyday I had to work the fields 'Cause that's the only way we got our meals See, I was the oldest of the family And everybody else depended on me Every night I heard my mama pray "Lord, give him strength to make another day" Though years have passed and all the kids are grown The angels took mama to a brand new home Lord knows people, I shed a tear My daddy's voice helped me through the years Sayin, "Patches, I'm depending on you son, To pull the family through, My son, it's all left up to you" Oh, I could still hear papa's voice sayin' "Patches, I'm depending on you son, I tried to do my best, It's up to you to do the rest". I could still hear papa when he's sayin' "Patches, I'm depending on you son, To pull the family through, My son, it's all left up to you" (Fade) |

When a man loves a woman
Can't keep his mind on nothin' else He'd trade the world For a good thing he's found If she is bad, he can't see it She can do no wrong Turn his back on his best friend If he puts her down When a man loves a woman Spend his very last dime Trying to hold on to what he needs He'd give up all his comforts And sleep out in the rain If she said that's the way It ought to be When a man loves a woman I give you everything I've got (yeah) Trying to hold on To your precious love Baby please don't treat me bad When a man loves a woman Deep down in his soul She can bring him such misery If she is playing him for a fool He's the last one to know Loving eyes can never see Yes when a man loves a woman I now exactly how he feels 'Cause baby, baby, baby I am a man When a man loves a woman |
