Do or Die (Robinson / Boldon)
I've been called an operator,
I can sell an eskimo snow,
Baby, your'e a calculator,
But all you ever tell me is no.
You make me run,run,run, say your havi'n none,
You make me run,run,run, chase me with a gun.
I'll never give up!
I've got to do or die,
I'm reach'in for the sky,
I'd like to make you mine,
You know I will in time,
? Do or Die,
No matter how you try,
You'll never change my mind,
I got to Do or Die!!
Taurus's are more determined,
Nothing's gonna stand in their way,
Loving you was my ambition,
I was born the 19th of May.
You make me run,run,run, say your havi'n none,
You make me run,run,run, chase me with a gun.
I'll never give up!
I've got to do or die,
I'm reach'in for the sky,
I'd like to make you mine,
You know I will in time,
? Do or Die,
No matter how you try,
You'll never change my mind,
I got to Do or Die!!

Pride (Robinson / Boldon)
Pride, a lot of good it does alone at night,
Pride, it does'nt matter now whose wrong or right,
I, I hold my head up high for all to see,
I'm, I'm not fooling anyone but me.
What good does it do to hide,
The hurting that I'm feeling?
Since your no longer sleeping by my side,
It may be too late to show,
But just in case your wondering, I need you so!
Pride, a lot of good it does alone at night,

So, I'm asking you in all humility,
Would, would you please come back to me?

Fame, like to make me a name, nothing less than the best for me,
Fame, trading love for a name, ?, no one to blame but me.
You were the one who, ?, to love me,
I, ?, place,
You were the one that I needed,
?
Where are you?
Can't you hear me singing for you baby?
Where are you?
Come on back, I need you, won't you save me?
Fame, burning bright as a flame, but it drove you away from me,
Fame, whats the use of this game, if I cant have you back with me.
Making the big time, making the money, some how it don't seem to take the place of,
?, and I never see your face.
Where are you?
Can't you hear me singing for you baby?
Where are you?
Come on back, I need you, won't you save me?

Where are you?
Come on back, I need you, won't you save me?
Fame, gonna drive me insane, it drove you away from me,
Fame, so alone with my name, even that don't belong to me.
Running away won't help me forget you,
I ? to find you and end this race so..,
Like ? is so lonely,
? one night stands that never take your place.
Where are you?
Can't you hear me singing for you baby?
Where are you?
Come on back, I need you, won't you save me?
Fame, whats the use of this game if I can't have you back with me?
Fame, all alone with my name, even that don't belong to me.
Fame, tried to make me a name, I've got no one to blame but me.
Fame, gonna drive me insane, like it drove you away from me.
Fame, tried to make me a name, I've got no one to blame but me.Autumn Leaves (Prevert / Mercer / Kosma)
C'est une chanson,
Qui nous ressemble,
Toi qui m'aimais,
Et je t'aimais,
Nous vivions tous les deux ensemble,
Toi qui m'aimais,
Moi qui t'aimais,Mais la vie sépare,
Ceux qui s'aiment,
Tout doucement,
Sans faire de bruit,
Et la mer efface sur le sable,
Les pas des amants désunis.Since he went away,
The days grow long...
And soon I'll hear,
Old winter songs,
But I miss you most of all,
My darling, when autumn leaves start to fall...All on a Summers Night (Robinson / Bolden)
We were dancin barefoot on the moonlit sand,
We were makin music we don't need a band,
I can't believe we only met tonight!
Cos we won't let each other out of site.
Maybe I should feel a twinge of shame,
Were almost lovers I dont know your name.
A voice inside shouts like a traffic cop, stop!
I'm gonna love you after all,
On a Summers Night, who cares about tomorrow, baby,
All on a Summers Night, and everything will turn out right,
The nights so young we danced all through the night,
Your even better in the morning light,
?,
It maybe love or maybe just the wine,
?, turn your head around,
Or is it you that makes my ? found?
A voice inside shouts like a traffic cop, stop!
I'm gonna love you any way,
On a Summers Day, who cares about tomorrow, baby,
All on a Summers Day, and everything will turn out right,
You, and me, all alone on here on the beach tonight,
With the moon and the stars, and the sand, and the waves.
Oh! I know this night will never end,
I love you Darling, always.
Were barely seen out in the burning heat,
The evening tide is washed up on our feet,
Were all alone on the beach again,
The faitless ? washed away the sand,
I feel like celebrating finding you,
Were often running the whole night through.
A voice inside shouts like a traffic cop, stop!
You say you loved me after all, on a Summers Night,
The greatest things can happen, baby, all on a Summers Night,
And everything had turned out right, all on a Summers Day.
Who cares about tomorrow, baby,
All on a Summers Day, I'm gonna love you anyway,
All on a Summers Night, the greatest things can happen.Am I Ever Gonna Fall In Love In NYC? (Robinson / Robinson / Bolden)
When I finally got my wish to work in New York city,
It isn't everything that I hoped it would be,
?, lonely eye, gazing at the city tops,
Wondering if there isn't someone in there just for me,
Am I ever gonna fall in love in New York City?
Will I ever find a home so far from Tenassee?
Theres no future in the single bars, nothing but the one night stars,
Am I ever gonna fall in love in New York City?
My ambition and wish ?
But I'm missin the tradition,
Everybody in a hurry,
No ones got the time and no ones got the time of day.
Am I ever gonna fall in love in New York City?
Will I ever find a home so far from Tenassee?
Theres no future in the single bars, nothing but the one night stars,
Am I ever gonna fall in love in New York City?
One city is'nt pretty if you see it on your own,
It's a fabulous place ?
There's no one I know to cherish, no one I can hug, and no one around ? day.
Am I ever gonna fall in love in New York City?
Will I ever find a home so far from Tenassee?
Theres no future in the single bars, nothing but the one night stars,
Am I ever gonna fall in love in New York City?
Am I ever gonna fall in love in New York City?
Will I ever find a home so far from Tenassee?
Theres no future in the single bars, nothing but the one night stars,
Am I ever gonna fall in love in New York City?
Am I ever gonna fall in love in New York City?
Will I ever find a home so far from Tenassee?
Theres no future in the single bars, nothing but the one night stars,
Am I ever gonna fall in love in New York City?Below The Belt (Jones / adpt. Papadiamandis)
Got to go with his stance, got to take my big chance, got to do it.
Got to thake my big chance, got to go with his stance, got to groove it.
I'll accept no challenges you send,
One thing you cannot hit,
Below the Belt
