I was born by the river in a little tent
And just like that river I've been running ever since
It's been a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will

It's been too hard living, but I'm afraid to die
Cos I don't know what's out there beyond the sky
It's been a long, a long time coming

I've got a rocking chair that rocks
A rubber ball that rolls
I need a whole lot of woman
To satisfy my soul
It takes a lot woman yeah
To satisfy my soul

You know a boy needs a girl

Every day, along about evening
When the sunlight's beginning to pale
I ride through the slumbering shadows

Along the Navajo Trail
When it's night and crickets are callin'
And coyotes are makin' a wail
I dream by a smoldering fire

Another Saturday nigt and I ain't got nobody
I got some money 'cause i just got paid
How I wish I had someone to talk to
I'm in awful way

I got in town a month ago, I seen a lotta girls since then
If I could meet 'em I could get 'em but as yet I haven't met 'em
That's why I'm in the shape I'm in

Folks say that you've found someone new
To do the things I used to do for you
Just call my name, I'm not ashamed
I'll come running back to you
Can't sleep at night, I can't eat a bite
When you were mine I didn't treat you right
Just call my name, I'm not ashamed
I'l come running back to you

If you ever change your mind
About leaving, leaving me behind
Oh-oh, bring it to me
Bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me, yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah)

I know I laughed when you left
But now I know I only hurt myself

Once I was alone
So
So lonely and then you came out of nowhere like the sun up from the hills
Cold
Cold was the wind
Warm
So warm
Warm were your lips out there on that ski trail

I hear somethin' sayin'

(hooh! aah!) (hooh! aah!)
(hooh! aah!) (hooh! aah!)


(Well, don't you know)
That's the sound of the men working on the chain ga-a-ang

The earth is in a blaze,
The world is in a maze,
The way of life today
Is strange and odd. Oh Lord
What happened across the sea
May come to you and me
Oh, come let us go back to God

Cupid draw back your bow
And let your arrow go
Straight back to my lover's heart for me
Cupid please hear my cry
And let your arrow fly
Straight to my lover's heart for me

Now I don't mean to bother you

Desire me, desire me
As I desire you
Desire me and want me
That's all I'll ever ask of life
That you will someday come to me
And say that you love me as I love you

Hm, desire me, and tell me

Don't know much about history
Don't know much biology
Don't know much about science book
Don't know much about the French I took

But I do know that I love you
And I know that if you love me too
What a wonderful world this would be

Everybody loves the Cha Cha Cha
Little Children like to Cha Cha Cha
They like to Cha Cha Cha
They like to Cha Cha Cha
Everybody likes to Cha Cha Cha

Took my baby to the hub last night
And what to my surprise

I often think off the live I've led
And oh, it's a wonder, I ain't dead
Drinking and gambling, staying out all night
Living is a fool's paradise

My mother told me and my father told me too
Said my child, it's all catch up with you
Drinking and gambling, staying out all night

Frankie and Johnny was sweethearts
at least thats the way the story goes
Frankie bought everything for Johnny
from his sports car to his Ivy League clothes

He was a man alright, oh but he was doing her wrong
just to show you what can happen

O, at last I've awaken to see what you've done
What can I do but pack up and run
Now I know the rules
Get yourself another fool

You said that you love me
I was yours to command
But your kind of love

Wo ah la ta da, wo ah la ta da, da da da all night long (2x)

Yeah, come on and let the good times roll
We’re gonna stay here till we soothe our souls
If it take all night long

One more time, come on & let the good times roll
We’re gonna stay here till we soothe our souls

We're havin' a party
Dancin' to the music
Played by the DJ
On the radio
The Coke's out in the icebox
Popcorn's on the table
Me and my baby
We're out here on the floor

I belong to your heart
you alone can possess me
no one else can caress me
I belong to your heart

I belong to your heart
with devotion unseen
every part of my being

Don't know much about history
Don't know much biology
Don't know much about a science book
Don't know much about the French I took

But I do know that I love you
And I know that if you love me too
What a wonderful world this would be

I lost everything when I lost you
Now my heart is breaking in two

I found memories, what am I to do
Those memories keep on making me blue

The moon and the stars they don't seem the same
Love has lost its glory, to me it's just a game

Darling, I need you now, there's a moon up so bright
It's a warm night and I am lonely, I need you now
Darling, I need you now, there's a soft wind
And slowly creeping in and upsetting me, I need you now

Lovers are walking hand in hand in the street
They're in parked cars and in doorways they meet
They're in the park, on the grass, on the seats

Folks say that you've found someone new
To do the things I used to do for you
Just call my name, I'm not ashamed
I'll come running back to you
Can't sleep at night, I can't eat a bite
When you were mine I didn't treat you right
Just call my name, I'm not ashamed
I'l come running back to you

Just for you, just for you, just for you, my love
Wo oh oh oh for you, just for you, my love
Yes my dear, I finally realize
I finally realize that it's just for you

[1:]
When you see me working all night long
Working till my stress was gone

Keep movin' on, keep movin' on
life is this way
Keep movin' on, keep movin' on
everyday

When I go to sleep at night
I add up my day
trying to recall the things I done

I got a little red rooster,
Too lazy to crow for day
I got a little red rooster,
Too lazy to crow for day
He keeps everything in the barnyard,
Upset in every way
The dogs begin to bark
The hounds begin to howl

Love without devotion can never be true
You can show emotion in the little things you do
Words when kindly spoken can make dreams seem true
But more than words can say are the little things you do
(The little things you do)

A tender touch can mean so much, a card, a letter when away
Each little smile is so worthwhile to show affection each day

London by night is a wonderful sight
There is magic abroad in the air
I'm often told that the streets turn into gold
When the moon shines on * Circus and Square *

Deep in the dark that envelops the park
There's romance in each cigarette glow
Down by the Thames, lights that sparkle like gems

Sam Cooke - Lonely Island Lyrics
Artist: Sam Cooke
Album: Miscellaneous
Genre: R&B

I'm so lonely because I live on a lonely island in the heart of the city
I live on a lonely island, there isn't any hope for me
I tell you my heart is broken, it's a shame have pity

I'm lost and a-lookin' for my baby
Wonder why my baby can't be found
I'm lost and a-lookin' for my baby
Lord knows my baby ain't around

So I'm lost and a-lookin' for my baby
Wonder why my baby can't be found
Lost and a-searching for my baby

Love me for I need someone to hold me tight
For I feel so lonely tonight
All I ask is that you, love me, love me
Love me, love me, love me, oh

Till I hear a thousand drums roar
I ask for this and nothing more
All I ask is that you, love me, love me

Mary, Mary Lou
Why must you do
The things that you always do

Honey, I've been here a-crying
Sipping and a-sighing
To think it's all because of you

I've got a girl and, man, she's, oh, so fine
Someday I'd like to make her mine, oh, mine
She's fine but she won't give me a chance
When I want to sweet talk
All she wants to do is dance

Let me tell you
She likes the movin' and a groovin'

Nobody knows the trouble that I've seen
Nobody knows my sorrow
Nobody knows the trouble that I've seen
Glory hallelujiah

Nobody knows the trouble that I've seen
Nobody knows my, my sorrow
Nobody knows the trouble that I've seen

If I go a million miles away
I write a letter each and every day
'Cause honey, nothin',
Nothin' can ever change this love
I have for you

Ooh, make me weep,
You can make me cry

She was only sixteen, only sixteen
I loved her so
But she was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know

We'd laugh and we'd sing
And do the little things
That made my heart glow

Rain
Come down
And fall
Forever
Drain
The dirt
Into
The wasteland

I hope and I pray that this wall of illusion will all fall one-day, someday
Someday I know I'll make it happen, someday
I try, yes I am trying
but I'm more afraid of living than I ever was of dying

Am I what I am I am I am lonely I am lost
searching for a reason no matter what it costs
I need to believe is this all there is to me

Soothe me baby, soothe me
Soothe me with your kindness
For you know your powerful love is
Soothing to me
Soothe me baby, soothe me
Soothe me with your kindness
For you know your powerful love is
Soothing to me

When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
No I won't be afraid
Oh I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

So darlin' darlin' stand by me

Sugar dumpling, you're my baby
I love you in every way
sugar dumpling, you're my baby
my love grows stronger every day

yeah
sugar dumpling, you're my baby
I love you in every way

It's summertime and the living is easy
Fish are jumping and the cotton is high
Your daddy's rich and your mama's good-looking
Hush, little baby don't you cry
don't cry, don't cry, don't cry
no no no no
don't cry, don't cry

Whoa
Here, here in the moonlight
Hold me while I sing to you
My teenage sonata
Of my love
Eternally true
It's written and filled with devotion
From deep in my heart

Be Nice To Her
Whenever You Can
And When You Cross The Street
Always Hold Her Hand
You'll Find Out Tenderness Goes A Long Way
So
Smile At Her When She Does Something Wrong
Be There To Pick Her Up And Make Her Strong

Lights turned way down low
And Music is soft and slow
With someone you love so
That's where it's at, yeah

You're making not a sound
No one else around
That's where it's at, yeah

Let me tell you `bout a place somewhere up in New York ways

Where the people are so gay twisting the night away.
Here they have a lot of fun puttin` trouble on the run

Man
you`ll find the old and young twisting the night away.

Oh my love, my darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long lonely time,
And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much,
Are you still mine?

I need your love, I need your love

Venus if you will
Please send a little girl for me to thrill
A girl who wants my kisses and my arms
A girl with all the charms of you

Venus, make her fair
A lovely girl with sunlight in her hair
And take the brightest stars up in the skies

Don’t know much about history
Don’t know much about biology
Don’t know much about a science-book
Don’t know much about the French I took
What I do know is that I love you
And I know that if you love me too
What a wonderful world it would be

Maybe I'm old fashioned, feeling as I do
Maybe I am living in the past
But when I meet the right one
I know that I'll be true
My first love will be the last

When I fall in love it will be forever
Or I'll never fall in love

Don't know much about history,
don't know much biology.
Don't know much about a science book,
don't know much about the french I took.
But I do know that I love you,
and I know that if you love me, too,
what a wonderful world this would be.

That's the sound of the men
They are working on the chain gang
That's the sound of the men
They are working on the chain gang
That's the sound of the men
They are working on the chain gang
All day long they work so hard
Till the sun's comin' down

Darling you send me
I know you send me
Darling you send me
Honest you do, honest you do
Honest you do, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

You thrill me
I know you, you, you thrill me

You're nobody
'Til somebody loves you
Oh, you're nobody
'Til somebody cares

And oh, you may be king
You may possess
The world and all it's gold

You're nobody 'til somebody loves you
You're nobody 'til somebody cares.
You may be king, you may possess the world and it's gold,
But gold won't bring you happiness when you're growing old.
The world still is the same, you never change it,
As sure as the stars shine above;
You're nobody 'til somebody loves you,
So find yourself somebody to love.
