(L.C. Cooke)
ABKCO Music, Inc. (BMI)
(A Section)

Darlin' you send me
Darlin' you send me boy
Honest, you do
Darlin' you thrill me, boy

My Lord you do...
Honest, really... Lord
You gotta believe me
You do, you do

You Don't Know What Love Is
Gene DePaul/Don Raye - MCA Inc. (ASCAP)
You don't know what love is
Until you've learned the meaning of the blues
Until you've loved a love you've had to lose
You don't know what love is
You don't know how lips hurt
Until you've kissed and had to pay the cost
Until you've flipped your coin and you have lost
You don't know what love is
Do you know how lost I've been at the thought of reminiscing?
And how lips that taste the tears... they lose their taste for kissing?
You don't know how hearts burn
For love that cannot live yet never dies
Until you've faced the dawn with sleepless eyes
You don't know what love is
Don't Waste Your Time
Rachelle Ferrell
Aural Elixir Music (ASCAP)
(1st Verse)
I know what you're thinking
But don't even try it
I know that you want me
But you're wasting your time
I know that you're scheming
But you might as well forget it
I know that you've been dreaming
But you're wasting your time... so
Chorus Don't waste your time with me
Don't wait too long to see
What you really don't want to find
Baby, don't waste your time!
Don't Waste Your Time (continued)
(2nd Verse)
I don't want your money
I don't want you, honey
I never wanted your number
I never wanted your name
I don't need affection
I don't need protection
I never wanted nothin' from you
And that's the name of the game... so
Chorus Don't waste your time with me
Don't wait too long to see
What you really don't want to find
Baby, don't waste your time!
My Funny Valentine
Richard Rogers/Larenz Hart
Chappell & Co. Inc (ASCAP)
My funny Valentine
Sweet, comic Valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable, un-photographable
Yet you're my favorite work of art
Is your figure less than Greek?
Is your mouth a little weak?
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?
Don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little Valentine stay
And each day will be Valentine's Day
I Can Explain (continued)
(Chorus)
I can explain
Why I caused you pain
Let me tell why
I made you cry
'Cause you hurt me
Like no one else before you
But no one has ever loved me like you do
(Verse 3)
Now, you wanted me all to yourself
But I just found out you've got somebody else!
And oh, but no one has ever loved me like you do
(Chorus)
I can explain
Why I caused you pain
Let me tell why
I made you cry
'Cause you hurt me
Like no one else before you
But no one has ever loved me like you do
Like you do
I'm Special
Rachelle Ferrell
Aural Elixir Music (ASCAP)
(1st Verse)
Ever since we happened on a glance in Khyber's Café
I will always thank God for the chance He gave us that day
Pleasant conversation on a break, a break from the band
You were then and have always been a perfect gentleman
(Chorus)
You love me, Nobody else would do it
You hear me, Nobody else would listen
You see me, Nobody else would notice
I'm special in your life
(2nd Verse)
Going to bed each evening with a dream of having a child
Starting all our mornings with a kiss, a hug and a smile
Sharing all our feelings with a friend, the good and the bad
'Cause you're the very best friend that I've ever had!
(Repeat Chorus )
(Bridge)
I love you, I need you, oh so desperately
I can't, can't live without you
Take my hand, take my heart
You're the man that I want
Here I am...
You can have it all because
Welcome To My Love
R. Ferrell/G. Duke/D. Robinson
Aural Elixir Music/Mycenae Music/Feel The Beat Music/Stone Diamond Music
(ASCAP/BMI)
(1st Verse)
There was a time when I stayed at home alone
I knew a lot of guys, but none I could call my own
But when you came along, my heart sang a brand new song
Now I'm happy, glad I found you and I'm not afraid say
(Chorus)
Welcome to my love
Come on in and make yourself at home
(Chorus - continued)
Welcome to my life
I know everything's gonna be alright
(2nd Verse)
Needed a woman, said you'd need a girl that's just like me
You've had a lot of girlfriends, but none in whom you can believe
Time just dragged along, you're tired a playin' the same ole song
But now you're happy, glad I found you
'Cause you're not afraid to say...
(Chorus)
Welcome to my love
Come on in and make yourself at home
Welcome to my life
I know everything's gonna be alright
Bye Bye Blackbird
Ray Henderson/Morton Dixon
Ray Henderson Music Publishing (ASCAP)/ Old Clover Leaf Music (ASCAP)
Pack up all my cares and woe,
here I go singing low
Bye Bye Blackbird
Where somebody waits for me,
sugar's sweet and so is he
Bye Bye Blackbird
No one here can love and understand me
Oh what hard luck stories they all hand me
I'll pack my bag and light the light
I'll arrive home late tonight
Blackbird...bye, bye
Prayer Dance
Eddie Green/Morris Bailey
Miss Zera Publishing Co (BMI)
Lift my knees from the ground
I will put my feet down
I will dance all my prayers
Unto God
With a swing and a sway
I will do it my way
That's why I dance all my prayers
Unto God
Do I stand for peace and love?
Yes I will... express myself to God in my dance
And when I pray I feel rhythm and song
That's why I dance all my prayers
Unto God
With Every Breath I Take
Cy Coleman/Zippel David Joel
Notable Music Co Inc C/O BMG Gold Songs
BMG Rights Management US LLC
There's not a morning that I open up my eyes and find I didn't dream of you...
Without a warning, no it's never a surprise
Soon as I awake, thoughts of you arise
With every breath I take...
At any time or place
I close my eyes and see your face
And I'm embracing you...
If only I believed that dreams come true... Darlin'
You were the one who said forever from the start
And I've been drifting since you've been gone
Out on a lonely sea that only you can chart
I've been going on, knowing that my heart will break... With every breath I take...
~From "City Of Angels"~
