Joey

Written by c. jackson & marvin yancy
Joey---, joey----
Joey, where are you going
Where will you sleep tonight
Will you be alright
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Joey, I really love you
Wont you make here your home so youll never live alone anymore, oh
We both took a ride on that merry-go-round
Weve seen a lot of faces of the same ole clowns
But lets not be a part of that continuous game
Lets start a new life that will never change
Joey, where are you going
Wont you take me along, your place is my home
Joey---, hoo, hoo
Theres no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow
True fortunes are deeper than the world is old so
Weve got to dig up and plant love again
Just dont let it vanish, no
And you settle

I Love Him So Much

Written by chuck jackson and marvin yancy
Today we broke up, tomorrow well make up
And again hell hang up on me
But you see I know hell never hurt me
I know hell never desert me
And so I just say thats my man anyway
Tonight well love plenty, tomorrow maybe not any
But Im sure hell come through just in time
And to me hes more than just a man
Hes my life so I understand why things has got to be his way
And I love him so much, so much til it hurts me
Yes, I do, so much, so much til it hurts me
He makes me cry when I wanna laugh sometimes
His moods, they keep changing all the time
But I know just where his head is when its not laying on top of mine
His world is not so different and you may not believe
But Im sure youd understand him if you were me
And thats why this world cant look and frown
But Ill never let him down
That is my man and he means the world to me

Pick Yourself Up

Pick youself up, take a deep breath, dust yourself off
And start all over again, nothings impossible I have found
For when my chin is on the ground, I pick myself up
Dust myself off, and start all over again, dont lose your confidence if you slip
Be grateful for a pleasant trip, just pick yourself up, and dust yourself off
And start all over again, work like a soul inspired, til the battle of the day is won
You may be sick and tired, but youll be a man my son
Will you remember the famous men, who had to fall to rise again
So take a deep breath, pick yourself up, dust yourself off and start all over again
Musical interlude
Dont lose your confidence if you slip, be grateful for a pleasant trip
Just pick youself up, dust yourself off, and try to start all over again
(scat)
Youve got to work like a soul inspired, til the battle of the day is won
You may be sick, you may be tired, but youre gonna be a man my son
Will you remember the famous men who had to fall to rise again
Just take a deep breath,ah, pick yourself up
Dust yourself off, have a nice trip and start all over again
(scat and laughter)

My Baby Just Cares For Me

My baby dont care for shows
My baby dont care for clothes
My baby just cares for me
My baby dont care for cars and races
My baby dont care for high toned places
Liz Taylors not his style
And even Lana Turners smile
Is something that he just cant see
My baby dont care who knows it
My baby just cares for me
My baby dont care for shows
My baby dont care for clothes
My baby just cares for me
My baby dont care for cars and races
My baby dont care for those high toned places
Liz Taylors not his style
And even Lana Turners smile
Is something that he just cant see
My baby dont care who knows it
Cause my baby just cares for me

A Song For You

Ive been so many places in my life and time
Ive sung a lot of songs and Ive made some bad climbs
Ive acted out my life in stages with ten thousand people watching
Oh, but were alone now and Im singing this song for you
I know your image of me is what I hope to be, Ive treated you unkindly
Oh, but darling cant you see that, theres no one more important to me
Baby, baby, cant you see through me, cause were alone now
And Im singing this song to you, you taught me precious secrets
Of a true love withholding nothing, you came out in front
When I was hiding, yeah, yeah, but now its so much better
If my words dont quite come together, please listen to the melody
cause my love is in there somewhere hiding
I love you in a place where there is no space or time, I love you for my life
You are a friend of mine, and when my life is over
Remember, remember, remember when we were together
And we are alone now, and I was singing this song to you
We were alone, and I was singing, yeah singing
We were alone, and I was singing this song for you
Singing my song, Im singing my song for you
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo

Straighten Up & Fly Right

Words and music by nat king cole and irving mills; american academy of music, mills music, ascap
The buzzert took the monkey for a ride in the air
The monkey thought that everything was on a square
The buzzert tried to throw the monkey off his back
But the monkey grabbed his neck and said now listen jack
Straighten up and fly right, straighten up and stay right
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down pappa dont you blow your top
Aint no use in divin, whats the use of jivin
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down pappa dont you blow your top
The buzzert told the monkey you are chokin me
Release your hold and I will set you free
The monkey looked the buzzert right dead in the eye
And said your storys so touching but it sounds like a lie
Straighten up and fly right, straighten up and stay right
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down pappa dont you blow your top
Musical interlude
Straighten up and fly right, straighten up and stay right

Say You Love Me

Say you love me, say Im the one your eyes see
Tell me you need me deep down inside like I need you
You see I need you to see me through, I wanna hear you say darling, darling
I love you, so say, say you love me, (say you love me) yeah, yeah
(say you love me) say, just say you love me
(say you love me, say you love me) through the rain, and through the cold
Together we will never grow old, sometimes the going will get a little tough
And I must admit living with me can be rough, I need you to see me through
I get off when you say, baby, baby, baby, I love you
(say) so say, (say) just say you love me, wanna hear you say (say) say
(say) you love me (you love me), oh, ooh let me be, I wanna be your woman
Together we can make a stand, I know, I know, let me take your trembling hand
Somewhere in gods country well settle on a piece of land
Because I need you to see me through, I just wanna hear you say
Oh, oh, oh, baby, baby, baby I love you, I love (say) you
So say (say) say (you love me), say you love me
Oh, just wanna hear you say, say, say, (say), say, (say you love me)
Oh---oh----, (say) say (say) tell me baby that you love me (say)
Oh baby, oh baby, oh, (repeat say)
