I said move
(Move)
You're tearing it apart, please move
(Please move)
Ohhh, what am I gonna do, my heart
(My heart)
Is breaking breaking up over you
(Breaking, breaking up over you!)
You've got such magnetic power
That just keeps holding me down
I feel just like a flower
That you keep stomping the ground
Move, move!
Move right out of my life
Move it, move it
Out of my life
Move, move!
Move right out of my life
Move it, move it
Out of my life
Move, move

The way you lead me around
I feel just like the Titanic
I'm always going down,
Down, down, down
(Move, move, you're steppin' on my style)
You're steppin' on my style
(Move, move, I wanna breathe for a while)

Hey, baby!
(Move it, move it, outta my life)
Hey, baby!
(Move, move, move right outta my life)
Get outta my life!
(Move it, move it, outta my life)
There's too much pain and strife
So why don't you pack it up and move it
(Move)
Take the cat, kit, and caboodle
(Move)
Your broken down car
(Move)
Your old smelly cigar
(Move)
And just move right outta my
(Move, move, move)
Move right outta my life!
(Move right outta my life!)
Please move, move, move, move
Please move, move, move, move
Please move, move, move, move…

Men like him make good men mad

Effie, Curtis was supposed to…
Love me!
Curtis was supposed to love me
(There you are, Effie. I've been looking all over)
I turn my back and find myself out on the line
You could've warned me
But that would've been too kind
(I've been warning you for months
To clean up your act
You've been late, you've been mean
Giving all kinds of bullshit Flack)
That's a lie! That's a lie!
It's just I haven't been feeling that well
(Effie, please. Stop excusing yourself
You've been late, you've been mean
And getting fatter all the time)
Now you're lying! You're lying!
I've never been so thin
You're lying! You're lying
'Cause you're knocking off that piece
Who thinks she's better than everybody
She ain't better than anybody
She ain't nothing but common
Now who you calling common
You self-indulgent, self-absorbed, nonprofessional?
You! I'm calling you!
I'm calling you the common piece he's knocking off
Now you listen to me, Miss Blame-It-On-The-World.
See, I've put up with you for much to long
I have put up with your bitching.
I've put up with your nagging and all your screaming too!
Oh, now when are you two gonna stop all this fighting?
Stay out of this, Lorrell! This is between Deena and me
Yeah? Well, it's between me too
I'm as much a part of this group as anybody else
And I'm tired
Effie, I'm tired of all the problems you're making us
I always knew you two were together
What?
I always knew you two were ganging up on me
She had nothing to do with this change
It was you
It was you always thinking of you
Always thinking of you
I knew you were trouble from the start
Trouble?
You were real bad trouble from the start
Curtis I'm your woman
But you're getting out now
I'm not building this group to have you tear it apart
Go ahead and rant and scream and shout
Don't worry baby, I'll buy you out
There's no money dirty enough to buy me out
You remember that, Curtis
Lay off, Effie.
Just take the money and run
You in this with them, C.C.?
Cool it, Effie.
This time you know what you've done
So they bought your black ass too, huh?
I said cool it, Effie.
This time you've gone too far
Oh I can go further. I can go further.
I don't want to stay around this.
I'm just breaking into this business
This is between all of you
This is none of my affair
Yeah? Well, it's between you too now, lil' sister
This snow job is as much your sin
Look at me! Look at me!
How much did you put out to get in?
Now you watch your mouth
Watch your mouth, Miss Effie White
'Cause I don't take that tone from no second-rate diva
Who can't sustain
I'm not feeling well. I got pain.
Effie, we all got pain
Oh for seven years I sung with you
I was your sister
You were our trouble
And now your telling me it's all over?
And now we're telling you it's all over
And now I'm telling you I ain't going
It's all over
I ain't going
It's all over!
And I am telling you
I'm not going
You're the best man I'll ever know
There's no way I can ever go
No, no, there's no way
No, no, no, no way I'm living without you
I'm not living without you
I don't wanna be free
I'm staying, I'm staying
And you, and you
You're gonna love me
You're gonna love me
And I am telling you
I'm not going
Even though the rough times are showing
There's just no way, there's no way
We're part of the same place
We're part of the same time
We both share the same blood
We both have the same mind
And time and time
We've had so much to see and
No, no, no, no, no, no way
I'm not waking up tomorrow morning
And finding that there's nobody there
Darling there's no way
No, no, no, no way I'm living without you
I'm not living without you
You see there's just no way, there's no way
Please don't go away from me
Stay with me, stay with me
You stay, stay and hold me
I... stay stay and hold me
Please stay and hold me
Be some man
Try it mister, try it mister
I know, I know
I know you care
Tear down the mountains
Yeah, scream, and shout
You can say what you want
I'm not walking out
Stop all the rivers, push, strike, and kill
I'm not gonna leave you
There's no way I will
And I am telling you
I'm not going
You're the best man I'll ever know
There's no way I could ever, ever go
No, no, no, there’s no way
No, no, no, no way I'm living without you
I'm not living without you, not living without you
I don't wanna be free
I'm staying, I'm staying
And you, and you, and you
You're gonna love me
You're gonna love me
Yes you are, yes you are
Love me, love me, love me
Love
You're gonna love... Me!
When I first saw you
I said "Oh My"
I said "Oh My"
That's a dream
That's my dream
I needed a dream
When it all seemed to go bad
Then I found you
And I have had the most
Beautiful dreams any mans ever had
When I first saw you
I said "Oh My", "Oh My"
That's my dream
That's my dream
I needed a dream
To make me strong
You were the only reason I had to go on
You were my dream
All the things I never knew
You were my dream
Who could believe
They could ever come true
And who would believe
The world would believe
And my dreams too
When I first saw you
I said "Oh My", "Oh My"
That's my dream
I know you have questions
Same ones as me
How long has it been?
How long will it be?
When will come the morning
To drive the night away?
Tell me when will come the morning
Of a brighter day?
Patience, little sister
Patience, little brother
Patience, patience
Take each other by the hand
Patience, little sisters
Patience, little brothers
Let us walk together
To the promised land
There's a river to cross
And a mountain to climb
Patience, patience
It's gonna take some time
We must walk in peace
We got to walk in peace
It's the only, only way
If we want to see that morning
Of a brighter day
Of a brighter day
Patience, little sister
Patience, little brother
Patience, patience
We're gonna find a way
Patience, little sisters
Patience, little brothers
Until that morning
Of a brighter day
Patience, patience
'Til that brighter day
Patience, patience
'Til that brighter day
Look at me, look at me
I am changing
Trying every way I can
I am changing
I'll be better than I am
I'm trying
To find a way to understand
But I need you
I need you
I need a hand
I am changing
Seeing everything so clear
I am changing
I'm gonna start right now, right here
I'm hoping to work it out
And I know that I can
But I need you
I need a hand
All of my life I've been a fool
Who said I can do it on my own?
How many good friends have I already lost?
How many dog nights have I known?
Walking down that wrong road
There was nothing I could find
All those years of darkness
Could make a person blind
But now I can see
I am changing
Trying every way I can
I am changing
I'll be better than I am
But I need a friend
To help me start
All over again
That would be just fine
I know it's gonna work out this time
'Cause this time I am
This time I am
I am changing
I'll get my life together now
I am changing
Yes, I know how
I'm gonna start again
I'm gonna leave my past behind
I'll change my life
I'll make a vow and
Nothing’s gonna stop me now
I meant you no harm
I never meant to make you cry
You were the only one
I've ever loved in my life
And though its hard for me to show it
I’ve got to let you know it
Cuz darling I love you more each day
But the words got in my way
I meant you no harm
And I would die
If you ever said goodbye
I love you, I love you
I meant you no harm
I never, never meant to make you cry
You are the only one
I'll ever love in my life
Hold it, hold it
I cant do it, I cant do it no more
I cant sing no more sad songs
One two three hit me
Bop be bop, bop be bop be deed bop
Bop be bop, bop yeah
Bass man, huh, come on up
One two three hit me
Uh, sound good, yeah
Saxophone on the floor
One two three, hit it
Yeah, ow, uh, come on
Horns hit it, uh, yeah
Hey girl lets rock with jimmy early
Got a home in the hills, Mercedes benz
Hot swimming pool, got lots of friends
Got clothes by the acre, credit to spare
I could wake up tomorrow and find nobody there
But Jimmy want more, jimmy want more
Jimmy want, jimmy want, jimmy want more
Jimmy want a rib, jimmy want a steak
jimmy want a piece of your chocolate cake
And more than all that Jimmy want a raise, cuz
Jimmy got soul, Jimmy got soul
Jimmy got, Jimmy got, Jimmy got soul
Sooner or later
The time comes around
For a man to be a man take back his sound
I gotta do something to shake things up
I like Johnny Mathis but I cant do that stuff
Cuz Jimmy got soul, Jimmy got soul
Jimmy got S-O-U-L, soul
I cant do rock, I cant do roll
What I can do baby is show my soul
Cuz Jimmy got soul, Jimmy got soul
Jimmy got, Jimmy got, Jimmy got soul!
You want all my love and my devotion
You want my loving soul right on the line
I've had no doubt that I could love you forever
The only trouble is, You really don't have the time
You've got one night only, one night only
That's all you have to spare
One night only, lets not pretend to care
One night only, one night only
Come on big baby, come on
One night only, we only have till dawn
In the morning this feeling will be gone
It has no chance going on
Something so right has got no chance to live
So let's forget about chances, its one night I will give
One night only, one night only
You'll be the only one
One night only, then you'll have to run
One night only, one night only
There's nothing more to say
One night only, words get in the way
One night only, one night only, one night only
Listen
To the song here in my heart
A melody I start
But can't complete
Listen
To the sound from deep within
It's only beginning
To find release
The time has come
For my dreams to be heard
They will not be pushed aside and turned
Into your own
All cause you won't
Listen
Listen
I am alone at a crossroads
I'm not at home in my own home
And I've tried and tried
To say whats on my mind
You should have known
Now I'm done believin you
You don't know what I'm feelin
I'm more than what you made of me
I followed the voice
You gave to me
But now I gotta find my own
You should have listened
There is someone here inside
Someone I'd thought had died
So long ago
I'm free now and my dreams 'll be heard
They will not be pushed aside or turned
Into your own
All cause you won't
Listen
Listen
I am alone at a crossroads
I'm not at home in my own home
And I've tried and tried
To say whats on my mind
You should have known
Now I'm done believin you
You don't know what I'm feelin
I'm more than what you made of me
I followed the voice
You gave to me
But now I gotta find my own
I don't know where I belong
But i'll be movin on
If you don't.
If you won't
Listen
To the song here in my heart
A melody I start
But I will complete
Now I'm done believin you
You dont know what I'm feelin
I'm more than what you made of me
I followed the voice you think you gave to me
But now I gotta find my own
My own!
We didn't make forever
We each got to go our seperate way
And now we're standing here, helpless
Looking for something to say
We've been together a long time
We never thought it would end
We were always so close to each other
You were always my friend
And it's hard to say good-bye, my love
It’s hard to see you cry, my love
Hard to open up that door
You're not sure what you're going for
We didn't want this to happen
But we shouldn't feel sad
We had a good life together
Just remember all the times we had
You know I'll always love you
You know I'll always care
And no matter how far I may go
In my heart
You'll always be there
And it's hard to say good-bye, my love
It’s hard to see you cry, my love
Hard to open up that door
You're not sure what you're going for
But we've got to grow
We've got to try
Though it's hard, so hard
We have to say good-bye
We didn't make forever
But I will always love you
We didn't make forever
But I will always love you
It's so hard! Baby it’s so hard
It's so hard! Baby it’s so hard
Every man has his own special dream
And that dreams' just about to come true
Life's not as bad as it may seem
If you open your eyes to what's in front of you
We're your dreamgirls, boys
We'll make you happy
(We'll make you happy)
We're your dreamgirls, boys
We'll always care
(We'll always care)
We're your dreamgirls
Dreamgirls will never leave you
(Never, never, never, never, neverleave you)
And all you've got to do is dream
And all you've got to do is dream
And all you've got to do is dream
Just dream, baby
We'll be there
We'll be there
We'll be there
We'll be there
When I first saw you
I said "Oh My"
That's my dream
That's my dream
I needed a dream when it all seemed to go bad
Then I find you
And I have had the most beautiful dreams
Any mans ever had
When I first saw you
I said "Oh My"
That's my dream
That's my dream
I needed a dream to make me strong
You were the only reason I had to go on
You were my dream
All of the things that I've never knew
You were my dream
Who could believe they would ever come true
And who would believe
The world would believe
In my dreams too
Before you appeared
My life was only a game
And day in
And day out
Were the same
Now dreams
The dreams
Coming true
Coming True
Like a star
Like a star
See It shine
A dream
That is yours
That is yours
That is mine
That is mine
You were my dream
Now I've got dreams of my own
All the things I could never be
Dreams you've never known
You won't take my dream from me
When I first saw you
I said "Oh My"
I said "Oh My"
That's my dream
