Put on my wings then I'll try the air.
Said it looks like everybody in this whole round world
They're down on me, yeah.

Lord, they're down on me, down on me, alright!
Looks like everybody in this whole round world, ah,

Now now now now now the heart is gone, rain is rain
And you gotta admit that it'll never change, no.

Looks like everybody in this whole round world

Flower in the Sun

Now please don't you think baby that I'm on the road to crime, yeah.
You loved me, too,
So how come you just sit there and laugh
And laugh and laugh and laugh ?
Things just happen this way
Not for very long
No no no no no no no no no no no no no no.
Our love affair said it's just history.

And I attempted to love you in my own way,
I think that you know I did.
But to have you here, to see you living,
Oh so near to me, yeah.
Oh but you're long distance and so it's still
And so often people are glad to be old, but now now,
Our love affair, yes it's just history, yes it is.

Once in a green time a flower
Oh, fell in love with the sun.
Their passion lasted for an hour
And then she wilted, come on, lover!

Once in a green time a flower
Oh, fell in love with the sun.
Their passion lasted for an hour
And then she wilted, come on, lover!

Did I see you looking up at the sky ? Up high, yeah.
You wonder if there is, whoa, another means
Now how can it be, how can it be ?
Well, I said and I asked you, why all this ?
I just got to know now now now now now now
Our love affair, yes it's just a history.
But baby, baby, I said it's over, child,
I can't stand it any long-long-longer,
You left me too lonely now.

It's over baby,
Where were you when I wanted you,
I needed you right by my side ?
I said-a, baby, baby, don't you hear me crying,
Oh baby, oh baby, don't you feel me moving ?
I know I hurt you, you hurt me too, you know,
Oh baby, oh baby, don't you know I tried,
Oh baby, oh babe.

This is a new song called "I Need a Man to Love"

I Need a Man to Love

Whoa, I need a man to love me.
Oh, don't you understand me, baby ?
Why, I need a man to love.
I want me someone to hold me when I, I call out for aid.
Someone to be around me so I won't be afraid.

Because it can't be now
Can't be now
Can't be now
Can't be now
Can't be now

Baby, surrounding me.

Honey, just close your eyes.
Whoa, won't you let me hold you, baby ?
Hey, hey, I want to just put my arms around ya, like the circles going 'round the sun.
And let me, let me hold you daddy, I said, at least until the morning comes.

Because it
Can't be now

Baby, surrounding me.

Alright, go on play it!

Hey!

Whoa, I need a man to love me,
Oh, can't you help me, please.
Why, Lord, I need a man to love.
Hey, I want me someone to hold me when I call out for aid
And someone to be around me so I won't be afraid.

Because it
Can't be now
Can't be now

Can't be this loneliness
Baby, surrounding me.

Bye, Bye Baby

Bye, bye-bye, baby, bye-bye.
I maybe seeing you around
When I change my living standard and move uptown,
Bye-bye, baby, bye-bye.

Whoa so, so long, my honey, so long.
I guess I'm gonna make it OK,
I'll see you in a funny place some old day,
So long, my honey, so long.

Well, I get the feeling I could chase you clean on in the ball
And wind up staying pull off, put down strung out and stalled.
Honey, I ain't got time to wait on you or to fetch your super ball,
I got lots of things I've got to do.

Bye, bye-bye, baby, bye-bye. I guess I'm gonna make it OK,
I'll see you in a funny place some old day,
Bye-bye, baby, bye-bye.

Well so, so long, my honey, so long,
Too bad you had to drift away,
'Cause I could use some company right on this road,
Up on this road I'm on today, yeah hey-yeah!

Well, I know that you got things to do and places to be.
And I guess I'll have to find the thing you placed on me.
I may wind up in the street or sleep beneath a tree,
Still I guess you know honey I've gotta go.

Bye, bye-bye, baby, bye-bye.
Lord, I might've been your wife,
But you settled for a place right in my heart,
You didn't want a place in my life.

So, so long, my honey, so long.
I guess you know you're on your own,
It seems we just got lost somewhere out in the world
And you left me here to face it all alone,
You left me here to face it all alone,
You left me here to face it all alone,
Yeah hey-yeah,
I said, bye, bye-bye baby, baby bye-bye, whoaa!

Farewell Song

Oh, the last time that I saw you
You know you didn't say a word.
And I knew, honey as I looked into your eyes
That my feelings, Lord, they'd never been heard.
Well, I'm talkin' to you about love,
Did you hear me ? I said love.
Yeah, because it's got to be such a long, long, long way
From denyin', from denyin'.

And I say you don't say no, no, no, to me no more.
And I believed in you all the time,
Honey, until I found out you know that I was so wrong.
I wanted to try and build a life with you,
I guess I should've known it, I guess I should've known it all along.
Let me hold you just once
Honey I'll ask you just once more
Because it's got to be such a long, long way from cryin'
And I been cryin'
And I got tears in my eyes,
Yeah, but don't you know when you love somebody, have some pressures
There can never, never, never be any secret,
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

You gonna have to pay your dues
And sometimes, honey, sometimes you're bound to lose.
Yeah, but that's the way
You're gonna learn, learn, learn to love people, yeah.

Oh God, I wish I could explain it myself,
'Cause I know that it's my fault, dear.
It's so easy to hurt you, darling,
It's so hard, I guess it's hard not to do.
And I know you showed me a new life
And you'll always, yeah you'll always be my friend.
Baby I don't think that I can keep from cryin'
And I'll be tryin' and I been cryin' for you, babe,
Yes I have now.

Well, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me
What would I do without you child ?
I'm afraid I can't say
But I hope honey that when you remember,
Lord, it'll be, it'll be such a sunny day
Now, now, now, now, good-bye,
And I'll see you sometime
And don't be worried, everything's just fine
Baby I don't think
That I can keep from dyin'
And I've been dyin'.

I said now every day I got a little bit, babe,
I said now every day I lose me someone in my heart
I've been lonely, lonely, look around baby
I said I've been lonely, lonely, I've been searchin' for you,
And I got to find, honey have to find my baby
I gotta find, I gotta want it, gotta need it,
'Cause hear me baby, baby, talk about my baby
Hear me baby, baby, whoa yeah, my baby,
Hear me baby, baby, talk about my baby
Won't you help me now,
Won't you help me now,
Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta

You know you got it if it makes you feel good,
Oh, yes indeed.

You're out on the streets looking good,
And baby deep down in your heart I guess you know that it ain't right,
Never, never, never, never, never hear me when I cry at night,
Honey, I cry all the time!
And each time I tell myself that I, well I can't stand the pain,
But when you hold me in your arms, I'll sing it once again.

I'll say come on, come on, come on, come on and take it!
Take it!
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby.
Oh, oh, break it!
Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah.
Oh, oh, have a!

I wanted to love you and hold you
Till the day I die.
I said whoa, whoa, whoa!!

And I say oh, whoa, whoa, no honey
It ain't fair, daddy it ain't fair what you do,
I see what you're doin' to me and you know it ain't fair.
And I say oh, whoa whoa now baby
It ain't fair, now, now, now, what you do
I said hon' it ain't fair what, hon' it ain't fair what you do.
Oh, here you gone today and all I ever wanted to do
Was to love you
Honey an' I think there can be nothing wrong with that,
Only it ain't wrong, no, no, no, no, no.

Sittin' down by my window,
Lookin' at the rain.
Lord, Lord, Lord, sittin' down by my window,
Lookin' at the rain, see the rain.
Somethin' came along, grabbed a hold of me,
And it felt like a ball and chain.
Oh this can't be in vain
And I'm gonna tell you one just more time, yeah, yeah!

And I say oh, whoa whoa, now baby

Now now now now now now now now now no no not in vain
Hey, hope there is someone that could tell me
Hon', tell me why,

And a chain.
