Isaac Hayes

Lips as sweet as wine
Intoxicating my mind
I'm so high from love's desire
Skin so soft to touch
I can't get enough
You are an ever burning fire
Curiosity got the best of me
I've never ever been that way before

Our day will come
And we'll have everything.
We'll share the joy
Falling in love can bring.

No one can tell me
That I'm too young to know (young to know)
I love you so (love you so)
And you love me.

Our day will come
If we just wait a while.
No tears for us -
Think love and wear a smile.

Our dreams have magic
Because we'll always stay
In love this way
Our day will come.
(Our day will come; our day will come.)

[Break]

Our dreams have magic
Because we'll always stay
In love this way.
Our day will come.
Our day will come.

(Kay Rogers, Richard Ahlert)

Sure you haven't got the wrong number
You sure its me you wanna talk to tonight?
Everyone in town's got your number
Everybody's got you pegged right

Is that why yu got in touch with me?
I guess you must be runnin' out of fools

When you went and left me there crying
Your goodbye was even colder than ice
It didn't bother you I was crying
And now you wanna break my heart twice

Is that why you got in touch with me?
I guess you must be runnin' out of fools

Guess you got back (guess you got)
To my name
In your little black book

Well, listen
Tell you what (tell you what)
Bet you forgot (you forgot)
How I even look

So go ahead with all your sweet talking
Go ahead for all the good it can do
Have yourself a dime's worth of talking
And then I'm gonna hang right up on you

'Cause this time, you're not
You're not getting through to me
I guess you must be runnin' out of fools

Even fools like me
Even fools like me
I said you're running out of fools
Even old fools like me

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

I just don't know what to do with myself
Don't know just what to do with myself
I'm so used to doing everything with you
Planning everything for two
And now that we're through

I just don't know what to do with my time
I'm so lonesome for you baby it's a crime
Going to a movie only makes me sad
Every party i go to i feel twice as bad
When I'm not with you
I just don't know what to do
Like a summer rose needs the sun and rain
I need your sweet love to ease all the pain

I don't know just what to do with myself
I don't know just what to do with myself
Baby if your new love ever turns you down
Come back I will be around
Just waiting for you
I don't know what else to do
Like a summer rose needs the sun and rain
I need your sweet love to ease all the pain

I don't know just what to do with myself
I don't know just what to do with myself
Baby if your new love ever turns you down
Come on back I will be around
Just waiting for you
I don't know what else to do
No no no
I don't know what else to do
I'm just so crazy for you
No no no no
I don't know what else to do
I don't know whaaaat else to do

(Burt Bacharach, Hal David)

What do you get when you fall in love?
A guy with a pin to burst your bubble
That's what you get for all your trouble.
I'll never fall in love again.
I'll never fall in love again.

What do you get when you kiss a guy?
You get enough germs to catch pneumonia.
After you do, he'll never phone you.
I'll never fall in love again.
I'll never fall in love again.

Don't tell me what is all about,
'Cause I've been there and I'm glad I'm out,
Out of those chains, those chains that bind you
That is why I'm here to remind you

What do you get when you fall in love?
You get enough tears to fill an ocean
That's what you get for your devotion.
I'll never fall in love again.
I'll never fall in love again.

What do you get when you fall in love?
You only get lies and pain and sorrow.
So, for at least until tomorrow,
I'll never fall in love again!
I'll never fall in love again!

Every morning when I rise, baby
I look into your sexy eyes, baby
Your love refreshing is good to me, baby
There's no other place I'd rather be, baby

What a way to start each day
Everything I think of
Just comes my way
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus:]
Cause you're my joy
You're everything to me
And you've shown me
How groovy life can be
Lips to lips, heart to heart
In a way that will never part

Sweetness is the name for you, sugar
And lovlieness becomes you too
Dedication is your thing, mama
You're forever true to your man, baby

You're the only one
Who thrills me through and through
And I'll never find another
If I search this whole world through
Oh, no, no, no

[Chorus]

Now you know why
I smile all the time, baby
You give me such peace of mind, honey
Heartaches and pain is
A thing of the past, baby
I found happiness at last, mama

Anything you want
I'll glady give to you
Cause you never did nothing once
That's why I love you too
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]

Keep on loving me
Keep on teasing me...

Our day will come
And we'll have everything.
We'll share the joy
Falling in love can bring.

No one can tell me
That I'm too young to know (young to know)
I love you so (love you so)
And you love me.

Our day will come
If we just wait a while.
No tears for us -
Think love and wear a smile.

Our dreams have magic
Because we'll always stay
In love this way
Our day will come.
(Our day will come; our day will come.)

[Break]

Our dreams have magic
Because we'll always stay
In love this way.
Our day will come.
Our day will come.

Isaac Hayes
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!

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

It's heaven to me when you're near
And i can see those lovely angel eyes
So tenderly inviting me to the land of your desires

It's heaven to me when you speak
The sound of music fills my soul
Melody that hypnotizes me echoing softly
It grows and grows

It's heaven to me when our lips touch
It intoxicates my mind

My breath almost abandons me
My head spins uncontrollably so unaware of space or time

It's heaven to me when our trembling bodies melt in unity
Ten thousand stars explode
I'm high as i can go lovin' you
Feeling free

Take my hand
I'm a stranger in paradise
All lost in a wonderland
A stranger in paradise
If I stand starry-eyed
That's the danger in paradise
For mortals who stand beside an angel like you

I saw your face and I ascended
Out of the commonplace into the rare
Somewhere in space I hang suspended
Until I know there's a chance that you care

Won't you answer this fervent prayer
Of a stranger in paradise
Don't send me in dark despair
From all that I hunger for
But open your angel's arms
To this stranger in paradise
And tell him that he need be
A stranger no more

Oh yeah

Coming to you, on a dusty road
Good loving, I got a truck load
and when you get it, you got something
don't worry, 'cause I'm coming

I'm a soul man

Got what I got, the hard way
and I'll got make better, each and every day
So honey, I said don't you fret
'cause you ain't seen nothing yet

Well grab the rope, and I'll pull you in
Give you hope, and be your only boyfriend ya ( ya ) ya ( ya ) help

Coming to you, on a dusty road
Good loving, I got a truck load

Well grab the rope, and I'll pull you in
Give you hope, and be your only boyfriend ya ( ya ) ya ( ya ) help

When I fall in love it will be forever
Or I'll never fall in love
In a restless world like this is
Love is ended before its begun
And too many moonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun

When I give my heart it will be completely
Or I'll never give my heart
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I fall in love with you.

And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I fall in love with you

(Hayes, David Porter)

You don't know like I know
What that woman has done for me
In the morning, she's my water
In the evening, she's my cup of tea

As long as I live
Wherever trouble lies
I go to her, and like a miracle
Everything just turns out right

You don't know like I know
What that woman has done for me
She brings her lovin' home now,
Just the way it's supposed to be

What she want, she can get
Tender loving
Well she's ready
Yeah she's ready
Yeah she's ready and willing

As long as I live
Wherever trouble lies
I go to her, and like a miracle
Everything just gets alright

You don't know like I know
What that woman has done for me
In the morning, she's my water
In the evening, she's my cup of tea

Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Nobody knows like I know

You don't know
You don't know
You don't know
Nobody knows

Our day will come
And we'll have everything.
We'll share the joy
Falling in love can bring.

No one can tell me
That I'm too young to know (young to know)
I love you so (love you so)
And you love me.

Our day will come
If we just wait a while.

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

I've been diggin' on you little girl
Every time you stroll by
And I can't help but notice
The sad look in your eyes

Ever didn't be your man and hurt you
The pain is on your face
It's a shame to see
All that good lovin', just go to waste

So don't waste it, don't waste it
Don't waste it, baby
Just give all that good lovin' to me
Give it to me, you see, I can use it

Also know how it feels
To be the victim of a bad relation
So don't you feel all by yourself
Because we're in the same situation

You need love and I need love
We both got love to give
So let's stop drowning in our sorrows
Let's get together and live

So don't waste it, don't waste it
Don't waste it, baby
Just give all that good lovin' to me
Let me use it, I can use it

Don't waste it, don't waste it
Don't waste it, baby
Just give all that good lovin' to me
I can use it, I'm gonna use it
