What'cha Gonna Do

By: Easther & Vernie Bennett/The Characters
One, two, what'cha gonna do?
Ain't nowhere to run when He's looking for you
Three, four, he's knocking your door
Ain't nowhere to run you can't hide no more

Don't you ever listen, to what the older people say
Child you're not different, mmm
Check your life and what'cha going through
There's a place for you and me, if you stop and say you do believe
Pray for a miracle, and hope your life won't be in vain

One, two, what'cha gonna do?
Ain't nowhere to run when He's looking for you
Three, four, he's knocking your door
Ain't nowhere to run you can't hide no more

One, two, what'cha gonna do?
Ain't nowhere to run when He's looking for you
Three, four, he's knocking your door
Ain't nowhere to run you can't hide no more

Ain't no need to worry (no no no)
Just call on him and He'll be there
(call call Him)
In your darkest hour He will be your guiding light
(you know he will)
Do not be discouraged, no
There will be a better day
Just lift your head up high, and everything's gonna be ok

One, two, what'cha gonna do?
Ain't nowhere to run when He's looking for you
Three, four, he's knocking your door
Ain't nowhere to run you can't hide no more

Ain't nowhere to run to
(nowhere to run, nowhere to hide)
'Cause He's all around
(He's all around you)
Take a chance he loves you (see if he really loves you)
Don't you turn your back (no, no, no, no)

One, two, what'cha gonna do?
Ain't nowhere to run when He's looking for you
Three, four, he's knocking your door
Ain't nowhere to run you can't hide no more

Open up any river (yes he can)
Set all of his children free (oh yes he can)
He will lead and he will guide you
'Cause he's the Almighty

Open up any river (yes he can)
Set all of his children free (oh yes he can)
He will lead and he will guide you
'Cause he's the Almighty

Treat Me Like A Lady

By: Easther & Vernie Bennett/David Antony
Do you think of me the way I think about you
And all the times you say the words 'I love you'
But you treat me like anything
When you should treat me like a lady
I know you see the things I do for you
But out of all the lonely nights I spend without you
Still you treat me like anything
When you should treat me like a lady

You think you can call me when you want
But I don't play that game
You spend your time lying to me babe
Why do you like to deceive me?
If you want my love
Come and share with me
If you want my kiss
You better show me bliss you do

Do you think of me the way I think about you
And all the times you say the words 'I love you'
But you treat me like anything
When you should treat me like a lady
I know you see the things I do for you
But out of all the lonely nights I spend without you
Still you treat me like anything
When you should treat me like a lady

The world is spinning round and round
But my life's standing still
It's time for me to settle down
It's time to raise a family
Open up your heart
You can let me in
There's no need to fear
The feelings of our love

Do you think of me the way I think about you
And all the times you say the words 'I love you'
But you treat me like anything
When you should treat me like a lady
I know you see the things I do for you
But out of all the lonely nights I spend without you
Still you treat me like anything baby
When you should treat me like a lady

Persistence is my game
A good man is my aim
You can be my man
You can even call me babe
Butcha better treat me like a lady
Many come and go
But if you know the code
You can touch my number
And then I'll let you know how'ta
How to treat me like a lady

Sunday Morning

By: Easther & Vernie Bennett/Steven Jordan/Anthony Lowe/Kenny Greene/Tamara Powell/Trina Powell
I recall that Sunday
The day that we were one
You shattered all my disbelief
When loving had begun
Being intimate with someone
Was something I never knew
Then I found myself in love
So deep in love with you
The stars collapsed
The moon began to fall
I was just in awe from the power of it all
When I saw a tear falling from your eye
I knew it was a special day
And now I realise

Sittin here remembering
That Sunday morning
When you first made love to me
It was so heavenly
Prayed that you would never leave
This Sunday morning
Now would you make love to me
Like that Sunday

Sittin here remembering
That Sunday morning
When you first made love to me
It was so heavenly
Prayed that you would never leave
This Sunday morning
Now would you make love to me
Like that Sunday morning

Heaven must have sent you
You came and rescued me
Showed me that true love could last
Beyond eternity
Was it just the feel of being close
That made me fall in love
Or the magic of last Sunday
When the skies opened above
The stars collapsed
The moon began to fall
What I was searching for
Was someone I could adore
Now the joy we shared
Lingers in my mind
I knew that it was special
And now I realise

Sittin here remembering
That Sunday morning
When you first made love to me
It was so heavenly
Prayed that you would never leave
This Sunday morning
Now would you make love to me
Like that Sunday morning

Sittin here remembering
That Sunday morning
When you first made love to me
It was so heavenly
Prayed that you would never leave
This Sunday morning
Now would you make love to me
Like that Sunday morning

Ooh how you make me feel
You blow my mind
Each and every time
Ooh the things that you do to me so good
I just can't believe
I can't believe
Sometimes it just don't seem real
You're just what I thought I'd never find
Will you make love to me (love me baby)
Like that Sunday morning

[repeat chorus to fade]

I Cry Real Tears

By: R Vertelney/L Thompson
Every little teardrop
That falls from my eyes
They fall for you
I cry real tears baby
Every little teardrop
That falls from my eyes
They fall for you

You oughta be ashamed of yourself
The way you talk down to me
Didn't anybody ever teach you
To act more respectfully

I'm telling you
That I'm only human too
Don't you realise
Look at my face
What do you see in my eyes
When a part of me just dies?

I cry real tears
I have real fears
I've got a heart that's beating inside
Sometimes it breaks
And when it aches
My eyes cry real tears

Oh yeah, oh yeah

You treat me like
You think I'm made of stone
Like when I'm cut I don't bleed
Oh baby
Don't you know that
I'm just flesh and bones
So what do you want from me

I'm telling you
That I'm only human too
Don't you realise
Look at my face
What do you see in my eyes
When a part of me just dies?

I cry real tears
I have real fears
I've got a heart that's beating inside
Sometimes it breaks
And when it aches
My eyes cry real tears

There's something called the golden rule
Someday you'll wished you'd followed it more
You've been a fool
My love is truer than any love you will find
But I'm worth so much more and so is my time

I cry real tears
I have real fears
I've got a heart that's beating inside
Sometimes it breaks
And when it aches
My eyes cry real tears

[repeat chorus to end]

Pillow Talk

By: Tim Kelley/Bob Robinson
Imagine you are here with me
To do anything you want with me
What would be the words you'd say to me
I wanna know
So tell me right now
While I've got you on the phone with me
Tell me the ways you would touch me
Make it sound real good to me
To satisfy me 'till I see you
Though I lay here by myself
I feel you right here next to me boy
I can't wait another minute
I can't reach my high

If you talk pillow talk to me
That's enough for me
You don't have to be here getting me off
Can you talk pillow talk to me
That's enough for me
To imagine you here any hour

Reminiscent of the other day
When we made love endlessly
Ooh I wish you could appear right now
But at the moment your voice will do me
Talk me a sexy interlude
So I can see you clearly in my mind
I think I know all your fantasies
But if I don't
Here's the time to tell me
Though I lay here by myself
I feel you right here next to me boy
I can't wait another minute
I can't reach my high

Can you talk pillow talk to me
Baby that's enough for me
You don't have to be here any hour

Can you talk pillow talk to me
That's enough for me
To imagine you here any hour

OOh though I lay here by myself
I feel you right here next to me boy
I can't wait another minute
I can't reach my high

If you talk pillow talk to me
That's enough for me
You don't have to be here getting me off
Can you talk pillow talk to me
That's enough for me
To imagine you here any hour

[repeat chorus to fade]

Missing You

By: Easther & Vernie Bennett/J-Dub
You know how much I miss you baby
Cause I still love you, yes I do

As I kiss the air
Thinking you were there
But you're not anywhere
My feelings of despair
For a love affair
For which I just don't care

You know that I'm missing you baby
I don't wanna crawl my way back
You know that I'm missing you baby
I don't wanna turn back on those lights
You know that I'm missing you baby
Oh but you hurt my heart so bad
You know that I'm missing you

As I look at you
I'm lonely and confused
Burnt out like a fuse
I know I can't explain
All the things I do
And the things I say
Baby why can't we stay together
Maybe it's not meant to be
It hurts so bad
But I can't turn back
Every night I close my eyes
I can feel my compromise
Still wanting you
(I'm needing you)
Baby I'm still missing you

You know that I'm missing you baby
I don't wanna crawl my way back
You know that I'm missing you baby
I don't wanna turn back on those lights
You know that I'm missing you baby
Oh but you hurt my heart so bad
You know that I'm missing you

You know that I'm missing you baby
I don't wanna crawl my way back
You know that I'm missing you baby
I don't wanna turn back on those lights
You know that I'm missing you baby
Oh but you hurt my heart so bad
You know that I'm missing you

You're my ultimate dream
You set my soul free
You taught me to love
And how to be loved
And now that you're gone
It's hard for me to move on
No day goes by
I'm not missing you

[repeat chorus to fade]

Sensual Man

By: Tracey Ackerman/Pam Sheyne/Jeff Preschetto
One more day
Too much heartache
Oh no more wait
This life's no party baby
Never too late
For new beginnings
I can't stay
Nobody's winning baby

I can't accept the way you treat me lately
Got no respect
You got me going crazy
That's why I'm letting you go

All I gotta do is take a stand
Cos you're no longer part of my masterplan
I don't have to love you cos I can
Here I go baby
I'm finding me a sensual man
Baby baby yes I am
Baby baby yes I am

One more night
No solutions, hmm
One more fight
Too much confusion baby
Every lie
It comes too easy
Something inside
Broke into pieces baby

There's too much pain
I can't go on pretending
You wanna play your games
This ain't no happy ending
That's why I'm letting you go

All I gotta do is take a stand
Cos you're no longer part of my masterplan
I don't have to love you cos I can
Here I go baby
I'm finding me a sensual man
Baby baby yes I am
Baby baby yes I am

[rap]

All I gotta do is take a stand
Cos you're no longer part of my masterplan
I don't have to love you cos I can
Here I go
I'm finding me a sensual man
Baby baby yes I am
Baby baby yes I am

All I gotta do is take a stand
Cos you're no longer part of my masterplan
I don't have to love you cos I can
Here I go
I'm finding me a sensual man
Baby baby yes I am
Baby baby yes I am

I need a worthy man
A sexy man
A superman
A serious man
A sensitive man
A holy man
An easy man
I need a man
A wealthy man
A sexy man
A faithful man
A serious man
A hungry man
An easy man
Baby baby yes I am
Baby baby yes I am

Free To Live

By: Easther & Vernie Bennett/John O'Kane/Hawk Wolinsky

She saw the future dying
And heard her baby crying
And wondered why it had to be
She sat and watched the sunrise
And felt the tears of compromise
A young girl learning to be free

Her days and nights were so cold
She longed to share her heart and soul
With someone willing to believe
    (with someone willing to believe)
She saw the beauty in a strangers face
And felt the warmth of his embrace
A fairytale that sets her free

Free
She wants to be
Free
He made her feel
Free
She's paid the price
Free
She longs to be
Free
She's gonna be
Free
To live her life
Free
To live her life

Oh, oh yeah

He, he said he'd stay forever
They'd make a life together
He swore it was their destiny, oh yeah
Now all alone she understands
Between a woman and a man
Love is a spirit flying free

Free
She has to be
Free
He made her feel
Free
She's paid the price
Free
She longs to be
Free
She's gonna be
Free
To live her life
Free
To live her life

Want to be
Need to be
Live her life

She wants to be
She needs to be
Go live your life, yeah

Your Love Makes Me Weak

By: Easther & Vernie Bennett/Andy Marvel
I just can't stop thinking about you baby
Ooh, hey

I spend my working days staring at the phone
Daydreaming minute after minute
Wishing I was home
Where I can kick back, relax
Cause I got what I need
I've waited all my life
For you to set me free
I never knew it could feel this good
'Till you showed me that it could

Your love makes me weak
Ooh aah waiting
I can't even sleep
Ooh aah cause I'm waiting for your love
Ooh aah
To hold me tight
Ooh aah
All night long
Ooh aah waiting
Waiting, waiting

Can't stop thinking about
The love from last night
The sun rising up
As we touch the sky
Baby take it easy, slow down
You're rocking my boat
There ain't no hiding place
Where you just can't go
I never knew it could feel this good
'Till you told me that it should

Your love makes me weak
Ooh aah waiting
I can't even sleep
Ooh aah cause I'm waiting for your love
Ooh aah
To hold me tight
Ooh aah
All night long
Ooh aah waiting
Oh yeah

Your love makes me weak
Ooh aah waiting
I can't even sleep
Ooh aah cause I'm waiting for your love
Ooh aah
To hold me tight
Ooh aah
All night long
Ooh aah waiting

(Your love makes me weak)
I'm waiting for your loving (so weak)
I'm thinking of you baby
Each and every minute
Your love makes me weak
I'm yearning with desire
(I can't sleep)
I need to satisfy ya
Gonna hold on forever

Your love makes me weak
Ooh aah waiting
I can't even sleep
Ooh aah cause I'm waiting for your love

To hold me tight
Ooh aah
All night long
Ooh aah waiting
Your love makes me weak
Oh yeah

I can't stop thinking about you
Holding you baby

If She Breaks Your Heart

By: Eddie Martin
Lead you back to love, oh

Came as a total surprise
But I kept the tears from my eyes
And now I gotta shake off this pain
Because there's nothing here to gain

I tried to hold onto our yesterday
And not the reasons things faded away
But, boy, I still carry this flame
And I hope it's with a name

If she breaks your heart
Who will mould it back?
If she makes you cry
Who will make you laugh?
And if you lose your way
Who will take your hand?
And lead you back to love
Oh yeah, lead you back to love

Guess I gotta get on the mend
This I cannot pretend
In my heart I believe
That we're still meant to be
I thought it'll last 'till the end of time
And there'll be no end to this dream of mine
How can love between our two hearts
Now be oceans apart?

If she breaks your heart
Who will mould it back?
If she makes you cry
Who will make you laugh?
And if you lose your way
Who will take your hand?
And lead you back to love
Oh yeah, lead you back to love

If she breaks your heart, oh yeah
Who will mould it back?
And if she makes you cry
Who will make you laugh?
And if you lose your way
Who will take your hand?
And lead you back to love

Where, where my love will always remain
For eternity and a day
Let's not fight our destiny
Or what's meant to be

If she's breaking your heart
Who will mould it back?
If she makes you cry
Who will make you laugh?
If you lose your way
Who will take your hand?
Who will lead you back to love

If she's breaking your heart
Who will mould it back?
If she's making you cry
Who will make you laugh?
If you lose your way
Who will take your hand?
Lead you back to love
And lead you back to love

Absent From You

By: Easther & Vernie Bennett

Maybe I misunderstood
I thought I was due a reprove
I don't want these feelings to end
But why am I lonely in bed?
I cried all my tears on my pillow
Feeling ashamed of my fears
Millions of lies you've told me
Why can't I just pretend?

You said you had to go
And now I'm missing you
Been away so long
Now I'm missing you
Had to be this way
Still I cry away
Absent from you

As I watched all my friends play
I'm remembering your games
You took another in my place
While I was away you told her you'd stay
Love's not a game and you ought not to play
(You shouldn't play)
Diamonds have never fallen my way
Leave now, just go, keep walking away
(You) broke my heart in a day

Did it really have to be this way
You upped and left and flew away
And left me with an empty heart
No longer cherishing each night and day
Hoping you'll be by my side
I don't want to pretend my heart's breaking

You said you had to go
And now I'm missing you
Been away so long
Now I'm missing you
Had to be this way (this way)
Absent from you

You said you had to go
And now I'm missing you
Been away so long
Now I'm missing you
Had to be this way
Absent from you

Absent from you
[repeat to end]

Melody

By: Easther & Vernie Bennett/Gordon Chambers
Maybe I'm a fool
To feel the way I do
But it's clear to me
That I'm the one for you
Maybe it's a dream
A fairytale unseen
But it feels so real
When I imagine you...

I imagine lying by your side
Whispering the words I love you
Day turns into night
Stars are swirling high above you
Could it be that fantasies
Really do come true when you believe
Is this my destiny or just a melody?

You don't know my name
You don't even feel my pain
I'm in a restless place
A voice without a face
Inside I speak to you
When I'm feeling blue
But you're not there to care
The burdens that I bear as I am...

As I am lying on my own
Wondering if I'll ever find
Someone to call my own
Praying for a chance to find that
Perfect life of man and wife
A wedding and a ring for all to see
Is this my destiny or just a melody

I'm waiting for a love
That never changes
As the days get cold
I'm waiting for a hand
To touch my soul
Someone to hold
But now I'm lying here at night
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Days turn into night
Stars are swirling high above you
It can be that fantasies
Really do come true when you believe
That this is your destiny
Not just a melody...

Lying by your side
Days turn into night
Believe, just a melody

He's in my life

He is my joy divine

He is my joy divine

He's merciful and kind
He's in my life
He is my best friend
He's in my life

Keeping Me Down

By: (uncredited)
When I first me you I was sweet sixteen
Now my life has changed to set me free
Time to find out who I really am
Time to show you I can take a stand

I tried I tried to make you see
If you want my respect
You got to be right with me
Oh why oh why did you do me that way
There's something that I'd just like to say

You're keeping me down
Turned my head around
I've opened up my eyes now I realise
I'm breaking these chains
And your twisted games
Your cheating and lies
It's time to say goodbye
Cause you're keeping me down
You're keeping me down yeah

How do you sleep at night with all that you do
The pain you've caused it will come back to you
The house you built you know I've built it too
You say you made me well I made you too

I try I try to work it all out
But again and again you leave me in doubt
Then why oh why did you throw it away
There's only one thing I can say

You're keeping me down
Turned my head around
I've opened up my eyes now I realise
I'm breaking these chains
And your twisted games
Your cheating and lies
It's time to say goodbye
Cause you're keeping me down
You're keeping me down yeah

Did you think you could control my life
Smile in my face and turn wrong into right
What were you thinking all these years
When all that I needed was truth and not a stake

You're keeping me down
Turned my head around
I've opened up my eyes now I realise
I'm breaking these chains
And your twisted games
Your cheating and lies
It's time to say goodbye
Cause you're keeping me down
You're keeping me down yeah
