I'm waiting for the man


I'm waiting for my man
Twenty-six dollars in my hand
Up to Lexington 1-2-5
Feeling sick and dirty more dead than alive
I'm waiting for my man

Hey white boy, what you doin' uptown
Hey white boy, you chasin' our women around
Oh pardon me sir, it's furthest from my mind
I'm just lookin' for a dear dear friend of mine
I'm waiting for my man

Here he comes, he's all dressed in black
PR shoes and a big straw hat
He's never early, he's always late
First thing you learn is that you always gotta wait
I'm waiting for my man

Up to a brownstone, up three flights of stairs
Everybody's pinned you but nobody cares
He's got the works gives you sweet taste
Then you gotta split because he's got no time to waste
I'm waiting for my man

Baby don't holler, darlin' don't you ball and shout
I'm feeling good, you know I'm gonna work it on out
I'm feeling good, I'm feeling oh so fine
Until tomorrow but that's just some other time
I'm waiting for my man.



Be my baby

I saw you walk down the street
With some other girl
Always thought that I was the only one in your world
Baby can you tell me so
Out of sight out of mind ain't what love ought to be
And I hoped all the time that you'd be faithful to me
Faithful to me

All I'm asking you for when you walk out the door
Is to be my baby, baby
I just want to be sure
That forever and more
You would be my baby

Love is just like a flower baby it has to grow
And when you are away I'm even loving you more
I just have to let you know
One on one is the way and that's the way it should be
So if you're not gonna stay
The don't be playing with me
You can set me free

All I'm asking you for when you walk out the door
Is to be my baby, baby
'Cause all this love is for you
And you know that I'm true
And I'll be your baby

All I'm asking you for when you walk out the door
Is to be my baby, baby
'Cause you knew from the start
That you were working my heart
Won't you be my baby

I remember our walk the other Saturday night
Sweet harmonies filled and floated through our minds
Never felt this way before
We were riding so high an love and understanding
So why go wasting your time when you have got such a find
That is everlasting

All I'm asking you for when you walk out the door
Is to be my baby, baby
I just want to be sure
That forever and more
You would be my baby

All I'm asking you for when you walk out the door
Is to be my baby, baby
'Cause all this love is for you and you know
That I'm true
And I'll be your baby
And I want you to love me baby.




You love has got a handle on my mind

Hey baby
There's something on my mind
Got to tell you
I never thought I'd find
Love that is so simple and so kind
Love that is caring so divine

Your love has got a handle on my mind
Sweet as cherry
Fine like wine
Gonna love you 'till the end of time

Hey baby come put your arms in mine
Let's make love
'Cause I need to take that ride
I'm on top of the world
'Cause you're my baby and I'm your girl.

Your love has got a handle on my mind
Sweet as cherry
Fine like wine
Gonna love you 'till the end of time

Put your sweet lips over mine
And open wide
When we're together I just can't hide
'Cause we've got a beautiful vibration
And we've got a beautiful situation

Your love has got a handle on my mind
Sweet as cherry
Fine like wine
Gonna love you 'till the end of time


The future song

Life brings on unexpected changes
But we must carry on despite it
Are we gonna try
Are we gonna make it
Why is love so very hard
Why is peace so very far
I can't make it

The future of our space and time
Is not gonna wither and die
The future of our space and time
Is not gonna say goodbye

We can't control all our situations
And we can't console unprivileged
Nations
So why don't we try
To make more smiling faces
We're so full of disregard
We feel pain within our hearts
I can't take it

The future of our space and time
Is not gonna wither and die
The future of our space and time
Is not gonna say goodbye

So I'm calling out
Out to all the races
We can't gain control
Without communication
And we need to learn for future generations
There is future in our stars
There is beauty that is ours
We're gonna make it

The future of our space and time
Is not gonna wither and die The future of our space and time
Is not gonna say goodbye

Just as long as you are there

I'll walk across a river without any thought
Do it for you baby

Just as long as you are there my love
Just as long as you are there

I'll go up to the mountain
Go into the sea
Gonna save you baby
Alright you and me
Just as long as you are there

Just as long as you are there my love
Just as long as you are there

Boy you know I won't be far
And if you call me I'll be there
And we'll leave all our troubles behind
As I walk through life I see that life
Has taken me through many changes
But as long as we can learn to love
I know everything's gonna be alright
So take hold of my hand baby

Just as long as you are there my love
Just as long as you are there

So baby just call me
And you know that I'll be there
And you don't have to beg or plead
Just call my name

Just as long as you are there my love
Just as long as you are there

I'll walk across a river
I'll walk across the water
