Love And Trust
04:38
|
|||
The simplest things can be the hardest to do
Can't find what you're looking for even when it's looking for you
The judge and the criminal, the sinner and the priest
Got something in common, bring 'em all to their knees
Do what you can, do what you must
Everybody's crying to find some love and trust
I walk the line, I walk it for us
See me out here tryin' to find some love and trust
Lust ain't an offender but stealing from a thief
Storm after storm leave you shaking like a leaf
They say broken hearts make the world go around
Trading headaches for heartaches, wanna get you down
Give it some time, don't try to rush
When you're trying to find yourself some love and trust
Do what you can, might not be enough
When you're trying to find yourself some love and trust
Like a horse in a race who don't wanna run
Like an executioner who won't fire his gun
Like a boxer yo who won't take a swing
Just like a prince who don't wanna be king
Haven't we suffered, suffered enough
Now we're out here tryin' to find some love and trust
Do what you can, do what you must
Everybody's trying to find some love and trust
Everybody's trying to find some love and trust
Everybody
(Love and trust)
Do what you must
Everybody, everybody wants love and trust
(Love and trust)
Do all you can, do what you must
Oh Lord, we want some love and trust
(Love and trust)

Who Told You That
03:13
|
|||
When I
Carry my load
Or when I cry
I don't feel it any more
It's like a rainy day
That never goes away
Am I alone
Am I the only one
Now hold back
My, my, don't explode
We don't wanna rock the boat
Who told you that?
(Who?)
Oh, they lie
And they show no shame
Now hold back
My, my, don't explode
We don't wanna rock the boat
Who told you that?
(Who?)
Who told you that?
(Who?)
Who? (Who?)
Who? (Who?)
(Who?)
told you that?
Who told you that?
Stop acting up
You know it won't change a thing
That's how it is and how it's always been
Who told you that? (Who?)
Who told you that? (Who?)
Who told you that?
(Who?)

Slippery People
03:51
|
|||
What about the time?
You were rollin' over
Fall on your face
You must be having fun
Walk lightly!
Think of a time.
You'd best believe
This think is real
Put away that gun
This part is simple
Try to recognize
What is in you mind God help us!
Help us loose our minds
These slippery people help us understand
What's the matter with him? (He's alright!)
I see his face (The lord won't mind)
Don't play no games (He's alright)
Love from the bottom to the top Turn like a whee (He's alright)
See for yourself (The lord won't mind)
We're gonna move (Right now)
Turn like a wheel inside a wheel
I remember when
Sittin' in the tub
Pulled out the plug
The water was runnin' out
Cool down
Stop acting crazy
They're gonna leave
And we'll be on our own
Seven times five
They were living creatures
Watch 'em come to life
Right before your eyes
Backsliding!
How do you do?
These slippery people
Gonna see you through
What's the matter with him? (He's alright!)
I see his face (The lord won't mind)
Don't play no games (He's alright)
Love from the bottom to the top Turn like a whee (He's alright)
See for yourself (The lord won't mind)
We're gonna move (Right now)
Turn like a wheel inside a wheel
He's alright
The lord won't mind
Right now

You Are Not Alone
04:19
|

You're not alone
I'm with you
I'm lonely too
What's that song
Can't be sung
By two?
A broken home
A broken heart
Isolated and afraid
Open up this is a raid
I wanna get it through to you
You're not alone
You're not alone
Every night
I stand in your place
Every tear
On every face
Tastes the same
A broken dream
A broken heart
Isolated and afraid
Open up this is a raid
I wanna get it through to you
You're not alone
An open hand
An open heart
There's no need to be afraid
Open up this is a raid
I wanna get it through to you
You're not alone
I wanna get it through to you
You're not alone
I'm gonna get it through to you
You're not alone

Can You Get To That
03:18
|
|||
I once had a life, or rather life had me
I was one among the many
Or at least I seemed to be
Well, I read an old quotation in a book just yesterday
Said "You gonna reap just what you sow,
The debts you make you have to pay."
Can you get to that?
Can you get (I wanna know)
I wanna know if you can get to that
Can you get (well I wanna know)
I wanna know if you can get to that
I recollect with a-mixed emotions
All the good times we used to have
But you were making preparations
For the coming separation
And you blew everything we had
When you base your life on credit
And your loving days are done
Checks you signed with a-love and kisses
Later come back signed "insufficient funds"
Can you get to that?
Can you get (I wanna know)
I wanna know if you can get to that
Can you get (well I wanna know)
I wanna know if you can get to that
Can you get (I wanna know)
I wanna know if you can get to that
Can you get (well I wanna know)
I wanna know if you can get to that
When you base your life on credit
And your loving days are done
Checks you signed with love and kisses
Later come back signed "insufficient funds"
Now can you get to that y'all
Can you get (I wanna know)
I wanna know if you can get to that
Can you get (I wanna know)
I wanna know if you can get to that
Can you get (I wanna know)
I wanna know if you can get to that
Can you get (I wanna know)
I wanna know if you can get to that

Sometimes the rain
Groovin' when I hear the sound

Oh, the smell of the mornin' flower
As we pass away the hour
I want to do it again, do it again
Do it do it
Lets do it in the mornin' do it
Now I like you, lady
So fine with your pretty hair
If you don't mind my compliments
Just diggin?on the clothes you wear

Oh, oh, ho, hey, do it again

Feel good and satisfied

But I feel like a Butterfinger
I want to do it again, do it again
Do it, do it
Lets do it in the mornin'
Do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it again
Do it again woo, hoo, hoo, do it again
Do it again, do it again, do it again woo, hoo, hoo
Mmm, woo, hoo, hoo
Oh, hey

Dedicated
04:46
|
|||
Down the road we walked
Down the road we talked
I remember when
I made war with you
I made peace with you
That's what makes you my friend
And if it's us against the world
Well I would bet on us (to come out on top)
But if you go yours
And I go mine
All bets are off
This is dedicated
This one's dedicated
to you
This one's because we made it
This one's because we
made it through
There was a time I thought
Half the friends you got
were counterfeit at best
And you thought it wasn't right
How I lived my life
But time put those doubts to rest
And if it's us against the world
And still, I would bet on us (to come out on top)
But if you go your way
And I go mine
All bets are off
This one's dedicated
This one's dedicated to you
This one's because we made it
This one's because we made it through
This is dedicated
This one's dedicated to you
This one's because we made it
One's because we made it through
This is dedicated
This one is dedicated to you
for you
One because we made it
One because we
made it through
Down the road we walked
Down the road we talked
I remember when.

We're Gonna Make It
04:23
|
|||
We may not have a cent to pay the rent
But we're gonna make it, I know we will
We may have to eat beans every day
But we're gonna make it, I know we will
And if a job is hard to find
And we have to stand in the welfare line
I've got your love and you know you got mine
We're gonna make it, I know we will
We may not have a home to call our own
But we're gonna make it, I know we will
We may have to fight hardship alone
But we're gonna make it, I know we will
'Cause togetherness brings peace of mind
We can't stay down all the time
I've got your love and you know you got mine
We're gonna make it, I know we will
Our car may be old, our two rooms cold
But we're gonna make it, I know we will
We can't even spare a roach a crumb
But we're gonna make it, I know we will
And if I have to carry around a sign
Sayin' "Help the deaf, the dumb, and the blind"
I got your love and you know you got mine
We're gonna make it, I know we will
We're gonna make it
(We're gonna make it, we're gonna make it)
We're gonna make it, y'all
(We're gonna make it, we're gonna make it)
It might seem hard sometimes
(We're gonna make it, we're gonna make it)
But don't worry about this
(We're gonna make it, we're gonna make it)
We're gonna make it
(We're gonna make it, we're gonna make it)
We gotta keep on tryin'
(We're gonna make it, we're gonna make it)
Things can't stay wrong for us always no no no
(We're gonna make it, we're gonna make it)
We're gonna make it,
(We're gonna make it, we're gonna make it)
We're gonna make it
(We're gonna make it, we're gonna make it)
We're gonna make it oh yes
(We're gonna make it, we're gonna make it)
We're gonna keep on pushin' now,
(We're gonna make it, we're gonna make it)
