IT’S ALL OVER

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

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

WHEN I FIRST SAW YOU

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

PATIENCE

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

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

I AM CHANGING

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 / JIMMY’S RAP

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

But Jimmy want more, jimmy want more

Jimmy want, jimmy want, jimmy want more

Jimmy want a rib, jimmy want a steak

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!

ONE NIGHT ONLY

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

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!

HARD TO SAY GOODBYE

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
