Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight Lyrics – George Benson
Do me wrong, do me right,
Tell me lies but hold me tight,
Save your goodbyes for the morning light,
But dont let me be lonely tonight.
Say goodbye and say hello,
Sure enough good to see you, but its time to go,
Dont say yes but please dont say no,
I dont want to be lonely tonight.
Go away then, damn you,
Go on and do as you please,
You aint gonna see me gettin down on my knees.
Im undecided, and your hearts been divided,
Youve been turning my world upside down.
Do me wrong, do me right (right now baby),
Go on and tell me lies but hold me tight.
Save your goodbyes for the morning light (morning light),
But dont let me be lonely tonight.
I dont want to be lonely tonight.
No, no, I dont want to be lonely tonight.
I dont want to be lonely tonight.
Tell me lies but hold me tight,
Save your goodbyes for the morning light,
But dont let me be lonely tonight.
Say goodbye and say hello,
Sure enough good to see you, but its time to go,
Dont say yes but please dont say no,
I dont want to be lonely tonight.
Go away then, damn you,
Go on and do as you please,
You aint gonna see me gettin down on my knees.
Im undecided, and your hearts been divided,
Youve been turning my world upside down.
Do me wrong, do me right (right now baby),
Go on and tell me lies but hold me tight.
Save your goodbyes for the morning light (morning light),
But dont let me be lonely tonight.
I dont want to be lonely tonight.
No, no, I dont want to be lonely tonight.
I dont want to be lonely tonight.
Family Reunion Lyrics – George Benson
Girl
Ooh
Oh, baby
Morning, noon, and night, I'm thinkin' about you
Things just ain't been right since you've been gone
'Til the end of time we've taken a vow to
Keep our family strong
But we were both tryin' to grow in our own direction
Soon the magic of two meant nothing at all
So don't you think it's 'bout time (It's 'bout time)
We had a family reunion (Make things right)
Cause I'm losin' my mind (All my mind)
Without you here in my life (In my life)
Tell me what you want, let's get it together
No more wastin' time on what we're not
You and I should love each other forever
Family means a lot
So baby, let's make a move, find a new beginning
Set your feelin' the same way I feel tonight
Come on and give it a try (One more try)
Let's have a family reunion (Make things right)
Cause girl, it's a crime (It's a crime)
Not havin' you by my side (By my side)
So don't you think it's 'bout time (It's 'bout time)
We had a family reunion (Make things right)
Because I'm losin' my mind (All my mind)
Without you here in my life (In my life)
And now that we've been through everything, we don't have to worry
Let's put the pain of the past behind
And girl I promise you that love will always stay in our lives
So don't you think it's 'bout time (It's 'bout time)
We had a family reunion (Make things right)
Because I'm losin' my mind (I'm losin' my mind, baby)
Without you here in my life (Here in my life)
Come on and give it a try (Yeah, girl)
Let's have a family reunion (A family reunion)
You know it's a crime (You know it's a crime, baby)
Not havin' you by my side (I need you here by my side)
So don't you think it's 'bout time (It's 'bout time)
We had a family reunion (Make things right)
Let's get it together, baby
Let's get it together, baby
Together, together, together baby
Let's get it together, baby
Ooh
Oh, baby
Morning, noon, and night, I'm thinkin' about you
Things just ain't been right since you've been gone

A Telephone Call Away Lyrics – George Benson
You're nice, so nice, a very special person in my life
there's just so much about you, that I like
and it's been so good to know, you've always been
there for me, when I needed a friend
and ohhh by the way, I just want to say
[Chorus:]
Anytime, anytime, anytime of the night or day
I will be just, a telephone call away! uhmmm
Alright, there might, have been some times you haven't been so nice
small things about you, that I've never liked,
but then, I still must say that I can't remember when
I haven't thought of you as my dear friend
and ohh by the way, I just want to say , chorus:
I said if you need me,
ohhhhh, ohhh, I'll always be, just a telephone call awayyyy
and if you need someone to listen too, what you have to say, yeah!
I will be just a telephone call away!
There might, be times
we just might not run across, each others minds
too busy changing, with the changing times

I think about your smiling face again
and ohhhh by the way, here me say!

Someday We'll All Be Free Lyrics – George Benson
Hang onto the world as it spins around
just don't let the spin get you down
Things are moving fast
Hold on tight and you will last
Keep your self-respect, you're man the pride
Get yourself in gear, keep your stride
Never mind your fears
Brighter days will soon be here
Take it from me someday we'll all be free
Keep on walking tall, hold your head up high
And lay your drams right up to the sky
Sing your greatest song
And you'll keep, going. going on
Take it from me someday, we'll all be free
Hey, just wait and see someday we'll all be free
Take it from me, someday we'll be free
It won't be long, take it from me someday we'll all be free
Take it from me, take it from me, take it from me
just don't let the spin get you down
Things are moving fast
Hold on tight and you will last
Keep your self-respect, you're man the pride
Get yourself in gear, keep your stride
Never mind your fears
Brighter days will soon be here
Take it from me someday we'll all be free
Keep on walking tall, hold your head up high
And lay your drams right up to the sky
Sing your greatest song
And you'll keep, going. going on
Take it from me someday, we'll all be free
Hey, just wait and see someday we'll all be free
Take it from me, someday we'll be free
It won't be long, take it from me someday we'll all be free
Take it from me, take it from me, take it from me
Come In From The Cold Lyrics – George Benson
Come in from the cold, close the door from the hurt
That makes you feel alone
Time for you to share that coat you wrap around your life
Lay here in my arms, let me hold you close, I want so
Come in from the rain, shake away all the tears you try hiding them
Tell me every fear that keeps you from this love of mine
Leave it all behind, lay down my side, I'll show it to you
I've been hurt just like you, I know how hard
It is to give your love away but baby it's safe, I'm warm
All I'm really asking of you is come in from the cold
Yeah, I've been hurt just like you, I know how hard
It is to give your love away but baby it's safe, I'm warm
All I'm really asking of you is come in from the cold
Throw off all the memories that can bring you down
Loving is only the way to heal a heart that love has wronged
So baby give up the fight, you know it's right
Come in from the cold, baby you should know, I'd love for
You're my dying love, yeah yeah yeah
Girl I'll make you fall, jump to you from the storm
I wanna show to you and help you, please don't worry about me
If I need you, and I found you and I want you, oh baby
That makes you feel alone
Time for you to share that coat you wrap around your life
Lay here in my arms, let me hold you close, I want so
Come in from the rain, shake away all the tears you try hiding them
Tell me every fear that keeps you from this love of mine
Leave it all behind, lay down my side, I'll show it to you
I've been hurt just like you, I know how hard
It is to give your love away but baby it's safe, I'm warm
All I'm really asking of you is come in from the cold
Yeah, I've been hurt just like you, I know how hard
It is to give your love away but baby it's safe, I'm warm
All I'm really asking of you is come in from the cold
Throw off all the memories that can bring you down
Loving is only the way to heal a heart that love has wronged
So baby give up the fight, you know it's right
Come in from the cold, baby you should know, I'd love for
You're my dying love, yeah yeah yeah
Girl I'll make you fall, jump to you from the storm
I wanna show to you and help you, please don't worry about me
If I need you, and I found you and I want you, oh baby
Rainy Night In Georgia Lyrics – George Benson
Hoverin' by my suitcase
Tryin' to find a warm place to spend the night
Heavy rain fallin'
Seems I hear your voice a callin', it's all right
Rainy night in Georgia
A rainy night in Georgia
Oh, it is rainin' all over the world
Neon signs flashin'
Taxicabs and buses passin' through the night
The distant moanin' of a train
Seems to play a sad refrain onto the night
Rainy night in Georgia
Rainy all night in Georgia
Lord, it's rainin' all over the world
Rain
How many times I wondered
But it still comes out the same
No matter how you look at it or think of it
You just got to do your own thing, oh, yes
I find me a place in a boxcar
Take out my old guitar to pass some time
Late at night when it's hard to rest
I hold your picture to my chest and I'm all right
But it's rainin' down Georgia
Such a cold, old lonesome night in Georgia
Sometimes y'all it just rains
Rains
One of them old slow drizzling
Rainin'
Tryin' to find a warm place to spend the night
Heavy rain fallin'
Seems I hear your voice a callin', it's all right
Rainy night in Georgia
A rainy night in Georgia
Oh, it is rainin' all over the world
Neon signs flashin'
Taxicabs and buses passin' through the night
The distant moanin' of a train
Seems to play a sad refrain onto the night
Rainy night in Georgia
Rainy all night in Georgia
Lord, it's rainin' all over the world
Rain
How many times I wondered
But it still comes out the same
No matter how you look at it or think of it
You just got to do your own thing, oh, yes
I find me a place in a boxcar
Take out my old guitar to pass some time
Late at night when it's hard to rest
I hold your picture to my chest and I'm all right
But it's rainin' down Georgia
Such a cold, old lonesome night in Georgia
Sometimes y'all it just rains
Rains
One of them old slow drizzling
Rainin'
Sailing Lyrics – George Benson
It's not far down to paradise
At least it's not for me
And if the wind is right you can sail away
And find tranquility
The canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Believe me
It's not far to never never land
No reason to pretend
And if the wind is right you can find the joy
Of innocence again
The canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Believe me
Sailing
Takes me away
To where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free
Fantasy
It gets the best of me
When I'm sailing
All caught up in the reverie
Every word is a symphony
Won't you believe me
It's not far back to sanity
At least it's not for me
And when the wind is right you can sail away
And find serenity
The canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Believe me
At least it's not for me
And if the wind is right you can sail away
And find tranquility
The canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Believe me
It's not far to never never land
No reason to pretend
And if the wind is right you can find the joy
Of innocence again
The canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Believe me
Sailing
Takes me away
To where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free
Fantasy
It gets the best of me
When I'm sailing
All caught up in the reverie
Every word is a symphony
Won't you believe me
It's not far back to sanity
At least it's not for me
And when the wind is right you can sail away
And find serenity
The canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Believe me
Feel Like Making Love Lyrics – George Benson
Strollin' in the park, watching winter turn to spring
Walkin' in the dark, seein' lovers do their thing
[Chorus:]
That's the time I feel like making love to you

Love Ballad Lyrics – George Benson
I have never been so much
In love, in love before
What a difference
How true love made in my life
So nice and so right
Lovers come and then lovers go
That's what the people say
Don't they know
How it feels when you love me
Hold me and say you care
And what we have is much more than they can see
And what we have is much more than they can see
Baby what we have is much more than they see
Oh baby, whoa yeah
I'm in love, I'm in love with you girl
I say love I never knew that a touch
Could mean, could mean so much
What a difference
And when we walk hand in hand
I feel, I feel so real
Lovers come and then lovers go
That's what the people say
Don't they know
How I feel when you love me
Hold me and say you care
And what we have is much more than they can see
And what we have is much more than they can see
Baby, what we have is much more than they can see
Oh, yeah
In love, in love before
What a difference
How true love made in my life
So nice and so right
Lovers come and then lovers go
That's what the people say
Don't they know
How it feels when you love me
Hold me and say you care
And what we have is much more than they can see
And what we have is much more than they can see
Baby what we have is much more than they see
Oh baby, whoa yeah

How I feel when you love me
Hold me and say you care
And what we have is much more than they can see
And what we have is much more than they can see
Baby, what we have is much more than they can see
Oh, yeah
Beyond The Sea Lyrics – George Benson
Somewhere beyond the sea
Somewhere, waiting for me
My lover stands on golden sands
And watches the ships that go sailing
Somewhere beyond the sea
She's there watching for me
If I could fly like birds on high
Then straight to her arms I'd go sailing
It's far beyond a star
It's near beyond the moon
I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon
We'll meet beyond the shore
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be beyond the sea
And never again I'll go sailing!
[Instrumental]
It's far beyond a star
It's near beyond the moon
I know beyond a doubt, yeah!
My heart will lead me there soon
We'll meet, I know we'll meet, beyond the shore
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be beyond the sea
And never again I'll go sailing!
And never again I'll go sailing!
And never again I'll go sailing!
Sailing... yeah!
Somewhere, waiting for me
My lover stands on golden sands
And watches the ships that go sailing
Somewhere beyond the sea
She's there watching for me
If I could fly like birds on high
Then straight to her arms I'd go sailing
It's far beyond a star
It's near beyond the moon
I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon
We'll meet beyond the shore
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be beyond the sea
And never again I'll go sailing!
[Instrumental]
It's far beyond a star
It's near beyond the moon
I know beyond a doubt, yeah!
My heart will lead me there soon
We'll meet, I know we'll meet, beyond the shore
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be beyond the sea
And never again I'll go sailing!
And never again I'll go sailing!
And never again I'll go sailing!
Sailing... yeah!
Love X Love Lyrics – George Benson
I remember the days when we never had a dime
And our dreams seemed a million miles away
But we made it baby, facin' the bad times with a smile
Here we are and we're growin' stronger day by day
'Cause we got love times love
It's always there for us to share
And girl it sure feels good
To know you're by my side
'Cause we're just two high hearts
That beat as one forever on
With love times love
To keep us satisfied every night
So my lady whisper the words I love to hear
Cuddle up and I'll make you feel all right
'Cause I need you baby to carry me on through all the years
So come on baby close the door and dim the lights
'Cause we got love times love
It's always there for us to share
And girl it sure feels good
To know you're by my side
'Cause we're just two high hearts
That beat as one forever on
With love times love
To keep us satisfied every night
And there ain't no one in this world tonight
Can change my point of view
So come on girl and hold me tight
The way you always do with love times me and you
'Cause we got love times love
It's always there for us to share
And girl it sure feels good
To know you're by my side
'Cause we're just two high hearts

In Your Eyes Lyrics – George Benson
I think i finally know you
I can see beyond your smile
I think that i can show you
That what we have is still worthwhile
Don't you know that love's just like the thread
That keeps unravelling but then
It ties us back together in the end
[Chorus:]
In your eyes, i can see my dream's reflections
In your eyes, found the answers to my questions
In your eyes, i can see the reasons why our love's alive
In your eyes, we're drifting safely back to shore
And i think i've finally learned to love you more
You warned me that life changes
That no one really knows
Whether time would make us strangers
Or whether time would make us grow
Even though the winds of time will change
In a world where nothing stays the same
Through it all our love will still remain
[Chorus]
In your eyes, i can see the reasons why our love's alive
In your eyes, we're drifting safely back to shore
And i think i've finally learned to love you more
I can see beyond your smile
I think that i can show you
That what we have is still worthwhile
Don't you know that love's just like the thread
That keeps unravelling but then
It ties us back together in the end
[Chorus:]
In your eyes, i can see my dream's reflections
In your eyes, found the answers to my questions
In your eyes, i can see the reasons why our love's alive
In your eyes, we're drifting safely back to shore
And i think i've finally learned to love you more
You warned me that life changes
That no one really knows
Whether time would make us strangers
Or whether time would make us grow
Even though the winds of time will change
In a world where nothing stays the same
Through it all our love will still remain
[Chorus]
In your eyes, i can see the reasons why our love's alive
In your eyes, we're drifting safely back to shore
And i think i've finally learned to love you more
Greatest Love Of All Lyrics – George Benson
I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be
Everybody is searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone to fulfill my needs
A lonely place to be
So I learned to depend on me
[Chorus:]
I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all
Inside of me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all
I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be
[Chorus]
And if by chance, that special place
That you've been dreaming of
Leads you to a lonely place
Find your strength in love
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be
Everybody is searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone to fulfill my needs
A lonely place to be
So I learned to depend on me
[Chorus:]
I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all
Inside of me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all
I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be
[Chorus]
And if by chance, that special place
That you've been dreaming of
Leads you to a lonely place
Find your strength in love
20/20 Lyrics – George Benson
When I think of all I put you through
Always taking you for granted
I never saw it from your point of view
Blinded by the double standard
You were tryin' to tell me all along
Something in the love was missing
You said "It's not too late to get it back"
But I just wasn't listening
If I knew back then what I know now
If I understood the what , when , why and how
Now it's clear to me
What I should have done
But hindsight is 20/20 vision
Now I see it in a different light
I've been losin' you in stages
Give us one more chance
I'll get it right
Girl , you're gonna see some changes
If I knew back then what I know now
If i understood the what , when , why and how
Now it's clear to me
What I should have done
But hindsight is 20/20 vision
Takin' time to catch up on some history
Tryin' to figure out what went wrong
with you and me
And it doesn't really matter
what's been before
But I know there's no future
with you walkin' out that door
Always taking you for granted
I never saw it from your point of view
Blinded by the double standard
You were tryin' to tell me all along
Something in the love was missing
You said "It's not too late to get it back"
But I just wasn't listening
If I knew back then what I know now
If I understood the what , when , why and how
Now it's clear to me
What I should have done
But hindsight is 20/20 vision
Now I see it in a different light
I've been losin' you in stages
Give us one more chance
I'll get it right
Girl , you're gonna see some changes
If I knew back then what I know now
If i understood the what , when , why and how
Now it's clear to me
What I should have done
But hindsight is 20/20 vision
Takin' time to catch up on some history
Tryin' to figure out what went wrong
with you and me
And it doesn't really matter
what's been before
But I know there's no future
with you walkin' out that door
Never Give Up On A Good Thing Lyrics – George Benson
Never give up on a good thing
Remember what makes you happy (Whoa, whoa)
Never give up on a good thing
If love is what you got, you've got a lot
Money's tight, he's workin' every night
It ain't easy to keep the flame alive
And when he finally comes home to ya
He's just too tired to do the things you want to
You can't help but wonder to yourself
How would it be with someone else
Just keep in mind, every storm ends in time
Love is forever, stay together
(Stay together) When you got something real
(Love forever) That you may never feel again
Never give up on a good thing
Remember what makes you happy (Whoa, whoa)
Never give up on a good thing
If love is what you got, you've got a lot
Now you're the man, you've got to understand
She don't mean to make a scene
Like you, she feels all the weight you're under
And when she breaks, is it any wonder
I know sometimes it crosses your mind
To get on out and stay hard to find
Before you try, you'd better look in her eyes
Love is forever, stay together
(Stay together) You've got something real
(Love forever) That you may never feel again
(You've got a lot)
(Stay together)
(Love forever)
You've got something real
That you may never feel again
Never give up on a good thing
Remember what makes you happy (Oh, oh)
Never give up on a good thing
If love is what you got, you've got a lot
Don't give up your good thing
Don't give it, oh, don't, oh, oh
Don't give up your good thing
Please don't, oh, don't
Don't live it up, don't give it up
Never give up on a good thing
Remember what makes you happy (Oh, oh)
Never give up on a good thing
If love is what you got, you've got a lot
Never give up on a good thing (Oh, he's all you need)
Remember what makes you happy (Whoa, whoa)
Never give up on a good thing
If love is what you got, you've got a lot
Never give up on a good thing (Oh, he's all you need)
Remember what makes you happy (Whoa, oh)
Never give up on a good thing
Remember what makes you happy (Whoa, whoa)
Never give up on a good thing

Turn Your Love Around Lyrics – George Benson
You've got the love
You've got the power
But you just don't understand
Girl, you've been charging by the hour
For your love
I'm tryin' to show how much I love you
Still believe in romance
You're taking way too many chances
With my love
I remember
When you used to be
The talk of the town
All you get is lonely
Turn your love around
Don't you turn me down
I can show you how
Turn your love around
Without the woman I can make it
But I need the girl to stay
Oh, don't you let the lady take it
All away
When the woman need's
A taste of yesterday
But you stay at home
All they get is lonely
Turn your love around
Don't you turn me down
I can show you how
Turn your love around
Oh, girl you know me
I'm alone until you show me
That you're still in love with me
We're gonna make it
You're gonna take it
Back where we belong
Turn your love around
Don't you turn me down
I can show you how
Turn your love around
(Turn your love around)
Turn your love around
This time the girl became a woman
Don't you turn me down
Every woman needs a man
I can show you how
I love the girl
I love the woman
Turn your love around
(Turn your love around)
Turn your love around
This time the girl became a woman
Don't you turn me down
Every woman needs a man
I can show you how
I love the girl
I love the woman
Turn your love around
(Turn your love around)
Turn your love around
This time the girl became a woman
Don't you turn me down
Every woman needs a man
I can show you how
You've got the power
But you just don't understand
Girl, you've been charging by the hour
For your love
I'm tryin' to show how much I love you
Still believe in romance
You're taking way too many chances
With my love

On Broadway Lyrics – George Benson
They say the neon lights are bright on broadway
They say there's always magic in the air
But when you're walkin' down that street
And you ain't had enough to eat
The glitter rubs right off and you're nowhere
They say the women treat you fine on Broadway
But looking at them just gives me the blues
'Cause how ya gonna make some time
When all you got is one thin dime
And one thin dime won't even shine your shoes
They say that I won't last too long on Broadway
I'll catch a Greyhound bus for home, they all say
But they're dead wrong, I know they are
'Cause I can play this here guitar
And I won't quit till I'm a star on Broadway
I won't quit till I'm a star on Broadway
They say there's always magic in the air
But when you're walkin' down that street
And you ain't had enough to eat
The glitter rubs right off and you're nowhere
They say the women treat you fine on Broadway
But looking at them just gives me the blues
'Cause how ya gonna make some time
When all you got is one thin dime
And one thin dime won't even shine your shoes
They say that I won't last too long on Broadway
I'll catch a Greyhound bus for home, they all say
But they're dead wrong, I know they are
'Cause I can play this here guitar
And I won't quit till I'm a star on Broadway
I won't quit till I'm a star on Broadway
Mornin' Lyrics – George Benson
Mornin', Mr. Golden Gate
I should walk, but I can't wait
I can't wait to set it straight
I was shakin' but now I am
Makin' it fine
Here in my mind
My heart will soar
With love that's rare and real
My smiling face will feel every cloud
Then higher still
Beyond the blue until
I know I can
Like any man
Reach out my hand
And touch the face of God
'Scuse me if I sing
My heart has found its wings
Searchin' high and low
And now at last I know
Mornin', Mr. Radio
Mornin', little Cheerios
Mornin', sister Oriole
Did I tell you everything is fine
Woo, in my mind?
So, won't you get up, Oriole?
So, won't you get up, Cheerios?
Wake up, Mr. Radio
It's fine
Here in my mind
Singin' about mornin', little radio
Mornin', little Cheerios
Wake up, Mr. Radio
Need I tell you everything?
Right here is just doing fine
I should walk, but I can't wait
I can't wait to set it straight
I was shakin' but now I am
Makin' it fine
Here in my mind
My heart will soar
With love that's rare and real
My smiling face will feel every cloud
Then higher still
Beyond the blue until
I know I can
Like any man
Reach out my hand
And touch the face of God
'Scuse me if I sing
My heart has found its wings
Searchin' high and low
And now at last I know
Mornin', Mr. Radio
Mornin', little Cheerios
Mornin', sister Oriole
Did I tell you everything is fine
Woo, in my mind?
So, won't you get up, Oriole?
So, won't you get up, Cheerios?
Wake up, Mr. Radio
It's fine
Here in my mind
Singin' about mornin', little radio
Mornin', little Cheerios
Wake up, Mr. Radio
Need I tell you everything?
Right here is just doing fine
God Bless The Child Lyrics – George Benson
Them that's god shall get
Them that's not shall lose
So the bible says
And it still is news
Momma may have
Poppa may have
But God bless the child
That's got his own
That's got his own
Yeah, the strong gets more
While the weak ones fade
Empty pockets don't
Ever make the grade
Momma may have
Poppa may have
But God bless the child
That's got his own
That's got his own
Money, you've got lots of friends
Crowdin' round the door
When it's gone and
Spendin' ends
They don't come no more
Rich realations give
A crust of bread and such
You can help yourself
But don't take too much
Momma may have
Poppa may have
But God bless the child
That's got his own
That's got his own
Them that's not shall lose
So the bible says
And it still is news
Momma may have
Poppa may have
But God bless the child
That's got his own
That's got his own
Yeah, the strong gets more
While the weak ones fade
Empty pockets don't
Ever make the grade
Momma may have

But God bless the child
That's got his own

Money, you've got lots of friends
Crowdin' round the door
When it's gone and
Spendin' ends
They don't come no more
Rich realations give
A crust of bread and such
You can help yourself
But don't take too much

Poppa may have
But God bless the child

Summer Breeze Lyrics – George Benson
See the curtains hanging in the window
In the evening on a Friday night
A little light shining through the window
Let me know everything is alright, sing this song
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind
Hear me sing, summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind
See the paper lying on the sidewalk
A little music from the house next door
So I walk on up to the doorstep
Through the screen and across the floor
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind
Sing it, summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind, yeah
When I come home from a hard day's work
And you're waitin' there not a care in the world
See the smile a waitin' in the kitchen
Food cooking and the plates for two
Feel the arms that reach out to hold me
In the evenin' when the day is through
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind
Here we go, summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind
Come on, summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind
In the evening on a Friday night
A little light shining through the window
Let me know everything is alright, sing this song
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind
Hear me sing, summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind
See the paper lying on the sidewalk
A little music from the house next door
So I walk on up to the doorstep
Through the screen and across the floor
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind
Sing it, summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind, yeah
When I come home from a hard day's work
And you're waitin' there not a care in the world
See the smile a waitin' in the kitchen
Food cooking and the plates for two
Feel the arms that reach out to hold me
In the evenin' when the day is through
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind
Here we go, summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind
Come on, summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind
All I Am Lyrics – George Benson
Don't now the right words to say
I'm not magic
Don't hold the world in my hands
Wish I could fly to the ear like a hero
But I'm just some one who loves you
That's all I am
Wish I could take you away to a palace
Make you the Queen of a land
All the riches and gold
I don't haven't
I'm just some one who loves you
That's all I am
Love that is pure and secret
I have all you need
And with you that's everything to me
So I'm cherish the moment
I've saw you
I might not give much more than that
But if you look in my heart you'll find
That I'm some one who loves you
That's what I am
So I'm cherish the moment
I've saw you
Life might not give me more than that
But if you look in my heart you will find
That I'm some one who loves you
That's all I am
Some one who loves you
That's what I am
I'm some one who loves you
That's all I am
I'm not magic
Don't hold the world in my hands
Wish I could fly to the ear like a hero
But I'm just some one who loves you
That's all I am
Wish I could take you away to a palace
Make you the Queen of a land
All the riches and gold
I don't haven't
I'm just some one who loves you
That's all I am
Love that is pure and secret
I have all you need
And with you that's everything to me
So I'm cherish the moment
I've saw you
I might not give much more than that
But if you look in my heart you'll find
That I'm some one who loves you
That's what I am

That's all I am
Some one who loves you

I'm some one who loves you
That's all I am

Let It Rain Lyrics – George Benson
I can be so selfish, sad and moody
I can hear my mama talking to me
She said, 'Girl, you need to change your attitude'
I come home tired and I'm rude to you
And I've got a little problem with 'I'm sorry'
I say go to hell and in a hurry
And if that hurts, I get a little mad at you
The truth we know I'm a little jealous too
Well, if tears like rain have magic powers
Here they come again, them midnight showers
Let it rain tonight, purify like holy water
When I pray tonight, gonna say how much I want her
Start it again
[Incomprehensible]
And take it way back when
Do you remember those sweet talks early morning?
Looking and I turn into the dawning
If this works I'll thank the Lord with gratitude
I tell you I'd do all I got to do
But if tears like rain have magic powers
Here they come again, them midnight showers
Let it rain tonight, purify like holy water
Gonna pray tonight, gonna say how much I want her
Start it again, baby baby ooh I wanna start again
Take it way back when, well, well, yeah, yeah, come on
Let it rain, water wait I'm walkin'
Wash me up and wash me down
Gonna be good for me, oh let it rain
No more turning, no more tossing
Just like Christmas in the morning for you and me
Let it rain tonight, purify like holy water
When I pray tonight, gonna say how much I want her
Start it again
Take it way back when
Let it rain, tell water to wait I'm walkin'
Wash me up and wash me down, be good for me
Let it rain, no more turning and tossing
Just like Christmas in the morning for you and me
Let it rain tonight, purify like holy water
When I pray tonight
I can hear my mama talking to me
She said, 'Girl, you need to change your attitude'
I come home tired and I'm rude to you
And I've got a little problem with 'I'm sorry'
I say go to hell and in a hurry
And if that hurts, I get a little mad at you
The truth we know I'm a little jealous too
Well, if tears like rain have magic powers
Here they come again, them midnight showers
Let it rain tonight, purify like holy water
When I pray tonight, gonna say how much I want her
Start it again

And take it way back when
Do you remember those sweet talks early morning?
Looking and I turn into the dawning

Givin' It Up For Love Lyrics – George Benson
Give, give, givin' it up
This is my story
And over the story
Givin' it up for love
This is my story
I gave it up to love
Let me tell you how
I could have been an architect
I could have been a doctor
Been a good police detective
Looking for a robber
??
Could put up a real good fight
I got good chance but I'm givin' it up for love
I could have been an architect
I could have been a doctor
Been a good police detective
Looking for a robber
Through solo Shanghai
I'm born to make Lee a loner
Could put up a real good fight
I got good chance but I'm givin' it up for love
I gave it up
Givin' it up to love
I gave up everything
My everything gone
I gave it up
Yes, I'm givin' it up to love
I gave up everything
What would you do, do for love?
Wounded in cruel sacrifices and blood
Darling don't stress, no, darling don't go
I'll be an angel as long as we keep on singin' this song
I could have been an architect
I could have been a doctor
Been a good police detective
Looking for a robber
Through solo Shanghai
I'm born to make Lee a loner
Could've put up a real good fight
I got good chance but I'm givin' it up for love
I could have been an astronaut
Or a half-past lawyer
Or an
??
Just find
??
They wrote in the
??
Could've put up a real good fight
I got good chance but I'm givin' it up for love
I gave it up
Givin' it up to love
I gave up everything
My everything gone
I gave it up
Yes, givin' it up to love
I gave up everything
What you'd do for love, love?
Would you give it up?
What you'd do for love, love?
Would you give it up?
Baby, I'm in love with you
What am I supposed to do
Anything that I can do
Givin' all my love to you
Baby, I'm in love with you
Anyone will see that I'm gone
Baby, I'm in love with you
What am I supposed to do
Anything that I can do
Givin' all my love to you
Baby, I'm in love with you
Anyone will see that I'm gone
Baby, I'm in love with you
What am I supposed to do
Anything that I can do
Givin' all my love to you
Baby, I'm in love with you
Anyone will see that I'm gone
This is my story
And over the story
Givin' it up for love
This is my story
I gave it up to love
Let me tell you how
I could have been an architect
I could have been a doctor
Been a good police detective
Looking for a robber
??
Could put up a real good fight
I got good chance but I'm givin' it up for love
I could have been an architect
I could have been a doctor
Been a good police detective
Looking for a robber
Through solo Shanghai
I'm born to make Lee a loner
Could put up a real good fight
I got good chance but I'm givin' it up for love
I gave it up
Givin' it up to love
I gave up everything
My everything gone
I gave it up
Yes, I'm givin' it up to love
I gave up everything
What would you do, do for love?
Wounded in cruel sacrifices and blood
Darling don't stress, no, darling don't go
I'll be an angel as long as we keep on singin' this song
I could have been an architect
I could have been a doctor
Been a good police detective
Looking for a robber
Through solo Shanghai
I'm born to make Lee a loner
Could've put up a real good fight
I got good chance but I'm givin' it up for love
I could have been an astronaut
Or a half-past lawyer
Or an
??
Just find
??
They wrote in the
??
Could've put up a real good fight
I got good chance but I'm givin' it up for love
I gave it up
Givin' it up to love
I gave up everything
My everything gone
I gave it up
Yes, givin' it up to love
I gave up everything
What you'd do for love, love?
Would you give it up?
What you'd do for love, love?
Would you give it up?
Baby, I'm in love with you
What am I supposed to do
Anything that I can do
Givin' all my love to you
Baby, I'm in love with you
Anyone will see that I'm gone
Baby, I'm in love with you
What am I supposed to do
Anything that I can do
Givin' all my love to you
Baby, I'm in love with you
Anyone will see that I'm gone
Baby, I'm in love with you
What am I supposed to do
Anything that I can do
Givin' all my love to you
Baby, I'm in love with you
Anyone will see that I'm gone
Every Time You Go Away Lyrics – George Benson
Hey, if we can solve any problem
Why do we lose so many tears?
Oh, so you go again
When the leading man appears
Always the same thing
Can't you see we got everything
Going on and on and on
Every time you go away
You take a piece of me with you
Every time you go away
You take a piece of me with you
Go on and go free, yeah
Maybe you're too close to see
I can feel your body move
It doesn't mean that much to me
I can't go on saying the same thing
Just can't you see we got everything
Baby, even though you know
Every time you go away
You take a piece of me with you
Every time you go away
You take a piece of me with you
I can't go on saying the same thing
'Cause baby can't you see we got everything
Going on and on and on
Every time you go away
You take a piece of me with you
Every time you go away
You take a piece of me with you
Every time you go away
You take a piece of me with you
Every time you go away
Take away best of me, come on take away the rest of me
Every time you go away
You take a piece of me with you
Every time you go away
Take away best of me, come on take away the rest of me
Every time you go away
Why do we lose so many tears?
Oh, so you go again
When the leading man appears
Always the same thing
Can't you see we got everything
Going on and on and on
Every time you go away
You take a piece of me with you
Every time you go away
You take a piece of me with you
Go on and go free, yeah

Strings Of Love Lyrics – George Benson
She signs her name on my guitar
Spanish kisses on my heart
We dance flamenco in the dark
On my strings of love
Thru the night i cried her name
To the pounding of the ring
Swept the way in passions flame
On my strings of love
(Hmm...)
Tender out the way she hunts my mind
She was only mine one night in time
Chasing after the dreams she've left behind
No one compares to how she shines
Though she's gone without a trace
I'm seeing visions of her face
Kisses by the fire place
We're on my strings of love
(Hmm...)
Tender out the way she hunts my mind
She was only mine one night in time
Chasing after the dreams she've left behind
No one compares to how she shines
She signs her name on my guitar
Spanish kisses on my heart
We dance flamenco in the dark
We're on my strings of love
On my strings of love
We're on my strings of love
We're on my strings of love
Spanish kisses on my heart
We dance flamenco in the dark
On my strings of love
Thru the night i cried her name
To the pounding of the ring
Swept the way in passions flame
On my strings of love
(Hmm...)
Tender out the way she hunts my mind
She was only mine one night in time
Chasing after the dreams she've left behind
No one compares to how she shines
Though she's gone without a trace
I'm seeing visions of her face
Kisses by the fire place
We're on my strings of love
(Hmm...)
Tender out the way she hunts my mind
She was only mine one night in time
Chasing after the dreams she've left behind
No one compares to how she shines
She signs her name on my guitar
Spanish kisses on my heart
We dance flamenco in the dark
We're on my strings of love
On my strings of love
We're on my strings of love
We're on my strings of love
Cell Phone Lyrics – George Benson
If u ever lost someone you know where I'm coming from, (check it)
Papa never missed a day of work in his life he had to hold it down for his kids and his wife,
He taught us love and wrong from right true respect for life,
I was in the shop when they told me the news holding back tears trying to say it wasn't true,
U were my strength my shining light a hero dressed in blue.
[Chorus:]
Tell god that I'm trying to keep my head up to the sky,
Strong like a solider but he never said goodbye,
Operator can i get an open line,
I just want to know
[Chorus 2:]
Can a cell phone reach to heaven,
You were always my best friend and I'm dying to hear your voice again.
Can a cell phone reach to heaven,
I pray to god above I'll dial a perfect seven can my cell phone reach to....
If you ever lost someone you know where I'm coming from, (holler)
His clothes were old but he always kept them pressed every time he blew he'd buy mama a new dress,
When friends were broke no need to ask he would always give his last,
True defination of a family man when I would strike out he was my biggest fan,
He said a man must loose to win go out and try again.
[Chorus]
[Chorus 2]
If you ever lost someone you know where I'm coming from (sing it)
If you ever lost someone you know where I'm coming from,
On the whispers of the rising sun,
That distant voice will come once again, once again, once again, once again.
If you ever lost someone you know where I'm coming from,
On the whispers of the rising sun,
That distant voice will come once again, once again, once again, once again.
Can a cell phone reach to heaven, (cell phone, oohh, reach to heaven ya'll)
You were always my best friend and I'm dying to hear your voice again. (I gotta hear your voice,)
Can a cell phone reach to heaven, (oh yeah)
I pray to god above I'll dial a perfect seven
And my cell phone reaches, (can my cell phone reach to heaven)

Stairway To Love Lyrics – George Benson
You were the owner of a broken heart.
You didn't know that I was falling in love from afar
Every morning, wiping tears from your eyes
You never dreamed someone was watching and heard every cry
What are the odds of a fool finding in love
It's a one in a million shot in the dark
Just when I thought there's no need holdin' on..
You wrapped me in your arms and took me on a stairway to love..
And that's where you'll find true emotion, dear
Deeper than the deepest ocean,
High up where jealous fools can't break us
We're on a stairway to love..stairway to love.
A little candlelight, a fire for two,
A glass of chardonnay bring out the lover in you
So dancing through the night makes a picture so right
Two silhouettes framed as one in the moonlight
What are the odds of a fool finding in love
It's a one in a million shot in the dark
Just when I thought there's no need holdin on..
You wrapped me in your arms and took me on a stairway to love..
And that's where you'll find true emotion, dear
Deeper than the deepest ocean,
High up where jealous fools can't break us
We're on a stairway to love..stairway to love.
Are you ready?
We can fly away right now to Tahiti
Pack your bags. Whatever you want,
You can have, here on the stairway to love..
It's where you'll find true emotion, dear
Deeper than the deepest ocean,
High up where jealous fools can't break us
We're on a stairway to love..stairway to love.
You didn't know that I was falling in love from afar
Every morning, wiping tears from your eyes
You never dreamed someone was watching and heard every cry
What are the odds of a fool finding in love
It's a one in a million shot in the dark
Just when I thought there's no need holdin' on..
You wrapped me in your arms and took me on a stairway to love..
And that's where you'll find true emotion, dear
Deeper than the deepest ocean,
High up where jealous fools can't break us
We're on a stairway to love..stairway to love.
A little candlelight, a fire for two,
A glass of chardonnay bring out the lover in you
So dancing through the night makes a picture so right
Two silhouettes framed as one in the moonlight
What are the odds of a fool finding in love
It's a one in a million shot in the dark
Just when I thought there's no need holdin on..
You wrapped me in your arms and took me on a stairway to love..
And that's where you'll find true emotion, dear
Deeper than the deepest ocean,
High up where jealous fools can't break us
We're on a stairway to love..stairway to love.
Are you ready?
We can fly away right now to Tahiti
Pack your bags. Whatever you want,
You can have, here on the stairway to love..
It's where you'll find true emotion, dear
Deeper than the deepest ocean,
High up where jealous fools can't break us
We're on a stairway to love..stairway to love.

Masquerade Is Over Lyrics – George Benson
My blue horizon is turning grey
And my dreams are drifting away
Your eyes don't shine like they used to shine
And the thrill is gone when your lips meet mine
I'm afraid the masquerade is over
And so is love, and so is love
Your words don't mean what they used to mean
They were once inspired, now they're just routine
I'm afraid the masquerade is over
And so is love, and so is love
I guess I'll have to play Pagliacci
And get myself a clown's disguise
And learn to laugh like Pagliacci
With tears in my eyes
You look the same, you're a lot the same
But my heart says "no, no, you're not the same"
I'm afraid the masquerade is over
And so is love, and so is love
[Instrumental interlude]
I guess I'll have to play Pagliacci
And get myself a clown's disguise
And learn to laugh like Pagliacci
With tears in my eyes
You look the same, you're a lot the same
But my heart says "No, no, you're not the same"
I'm afraid the masquerade is over
And so is love, and so is love
And my dreams are drifting away
Your eyes don't shine like they used to shine
And the thrill is gone when your lips meet mine
I'm afraid the masquerade is over
And so is love, and so is love
Your words don't mean what they used to mean
They were once inspired, now they're just routine
I'm afraid the masquerade is over
And so is love, and so is love
I guess I'll have to play Pagliacci
And get myself a clown's disguise
And learn to laugh like Pagliacci
With tears in my eyes
You look the same, you're a lot the same
But my heart says "no, no, you're not the same"
I'm afraid the masquerade is over
And so is love, and so is love
[Instrumental interlude]
I guess I'll have to play Pagliacci
And get myself a clown's disguise
And learn to laugh like Pagliacci
With tears in my eyes
You look the same, you're a lot the same
But my heart says "No, no, you're not the same"
I'm afraid the masquerade is over
And so is love, and so is love
Witchcraft Lyrics – George Benson
Those fingers in my hair that sly come hither stare
That strips my conscience bare, it's witchcraft
And I've got no defense for it, the heat is too intense for it
What good would common sense for it do?
'Cause it's witchcraft, wicked witchcraft
And although, I know, it's strictly taboo
When you arouse the need in me
My heart says yes indeed in me
Proceed with what your leading me to
It's such an ancient pitch but one I wouldn't switch
'Cause there's no nicer witch than you
'Cause it's witchcraft, that crazy witchcraft
And although, I know, it's strictly taboo
When you arouse the need in me
My heart says yes indeed in me
Proceed with what your leading me to
It's such an ancient pitch but one I wouldn't switch
'Cause there's no nicer witch than you
That strips my conscience bare, it's witchcraft
And I've got no defense for it, the heat is too intense for it
What good would common sense for it do?
'Cause it's witchcraft, wicked witchcraft
And although, I know, it's strictly taboo
When you arouse the need in me
My heart says yes indeed in me
Proceed with what your leading me to
It's such an ancient pitch but one I wouldn't switch
'Cause there's no nicer witch than you
'Cause it's witchcraft, that crazy witchcraft
And although, I know, it's strictly taboo
When you arouse the need in me
My heart says yes indeed in me
Proceed with what your leading me to
It's such an ancient pitch but one I wouldn't switch
'Cause there's no nicer witch than you
Li'l Darlin' Lyrics – George Benson
Don't need no palace paved with gold
Don't need more cash than banks can hold
When I get to feelin' a feelin'
For something there ain't too much of
My sweet lil darlin' gives me her love
Don't catch me chasin' round at night
I'm not impressed by glamour sights
Lil darlin' may not be as pretty
As some other gals you can see
But my lil darlin' only loves me
Don't need more cash than banks can hold
When I get to feelin' a feelin'
For something there ain't too much of
My sweet lil darlin' gives me her love
Don't catch me chasin' round at night
I'm not impressed by glamour sights
Lil darlin' may not be as pretty
As some other gals you can see
But my lil darlin' only loves me
All The Things You Are Lyrics – George Benson
You are the promised kiss of springtime
That makes the lonely winter seem long
You are the breathless hush of evening
That trembles on the brink of a lovely song
You are the angel glow that lights a star
The dearest things I know are what you are
Someday my happy arms will hold you
And someday I'll know that moment divine
When all the things you are, are mine
That makes the lonely winter seem long
You are the breathless hush of evening
That trembles on the brink of a lovely song
You are the angel glow that lights a star
The dearest things I know are what you are
Someday my happy arms will hold you
And someday I'll know that moment divine
When all the things you are, are mine
Invitation Lyrics – George Benson
You and your smile
Hold a strange invitation
Somehow it seems
We've shared our dreams
But where?
Time after time
In a room full of strangers
Out of the blue
Suddenly you are there
Wherever I go
You're the glow of temptation
Glancing my way
In the gray of the dawn
And always your eyes
Smile that strange invitation
When you are gone
Where oh, where have you gone?
How long must I stay
In a world of illusion?
Be where you are
So near yet so far apart
Hoping you'll say
With a warm invitation
Where have you been?
Darling, come in into my heart
Wherever I go
You're the glow of temptation
Glancing my way
In the gray of the dawn
And always your eyes
Smile that strange invitation
When you are gone
Where oh, where have you gone?
How long must I stay
In a world of illusion?
Be where you are
So near yet so far apart
Hoping you'll say
With a warm invitation
Where have you been?
Darling, come in into my heart
Hold a strange invitation
Somehow it seems
We've shared our dreams
But where?
Time after time
In a room full of strangers
Out of the blue
Suddenly you are there
Wherever I go
You're the glow of temptation
Glancing my way
In the gray of the dawn
And always your eyes
Smile that strange invitation
When you are gone
Where oh, where have you gone?
How long must I stay
In a world of illusion?
Be where you are
So near yet so far apart
Hoping you'll say
With a warm invitation
Where have you been?
Darling, come in into my heart
Wherever I go
You're the glow of temptation
Glancing my way
In the gray of the dawn
And always your eyes
Smile that strange invitation
When you are gone
Where oh, where have you gone?
How long must I stay
In a world of illusion?
Be where you are
So near yet so far apart
Hoping you'll say
With a warm invitation
Where have you been?
Darling, come in into my heart
The Ghetto Lyrics – George Benson
Talking bout the ghetto funky funky ghetto
Trying to survive, trying to stay alive
The ghetto
The ghetto
(Talking bout the ghetto)
The ghetto
The ghetto
(Funk funky ghetto)
Even though the streets are bumpy, lights burned out
Dope fiends die with a pipe in their mouths
Old school buddies not doing it right
Every day it's the same
And it's the same every night
I wouldn't shoot you bro but I'd shoot that fool
If he played me close and tried to test my cool
Every day I wonder just how I'll die
Only thing I know is how to survive
There's only one rule in the real world
And that's to take care of you, only you and yours
Keep dealing with the hard times day after day
Might deal me some dope but then crime don't pay
Black man tried to break into my house again
Thought he got off early doing time in the pen
Even though my brothers do me just like that
I get a lot of love so I'm giving it back to the
The ghetto
The ghetto
(Talking bout the ghetto)
The ghetto
The ghetto
(Funk funky ghetto)
So just peep the game and don't call it crap
'Cause to me, life is one hard rap
Even though my sister smoked crack cocaine
She was nine months pregnant, ain't nothing changed
600 Million on a football team
And her baby dies just like a dope fiend
The story I tell is so incomplete
Five kids in the house and no food to eat
Don't look at me and don't ask me why
Mama's next door getting high
Even though she's got five mouths to feed
She's rather spend her money on a h-i-t
I always tell the truth about things like this
I wonder if the mayor overlooked that list
Instead of adding to the task force send some help
Waiting on him I'd better help myself
Housing authority and the O.P.D
All these guns just to handle me in the
The ghetto
The ghetto
(Talking bout the ghetto)
The ghetto
The ghetto
(Funk funky ghetto)
Even though they put us down and call us animals
We make real big banks and buy brand new clothes
Drive fancy cars, make love to stars
Never really saying just who we are
We use alias names like too $hort
Sell you stuff you might kill for
Young kids grow up and that's all they know
Didn't teach him in school now he's slangin dope
Only thing he knows is how to survive
But will he kill another brother before he dies?
In the ghetto, you keep one eye open
All day long, just hoping and hoping
You can pay your bills and not drink too much
Then the problems of life you'll be throwing up
Like me, but you don't see
Ten years from now, where will you be?
The ghetto
The ghetto
(Talking bout the ghetto)
The ghetto
The ghetto
(Funk funky ghetto)
So much game in a too $hort rap
Blacks can't be white and whites can't be black
Why you wanna act like someone else?
All you gotta do is just be yourself
We're all the same color underneath
Short dog's in the house you'd better listen to me
Never be ashamed of what you are
Proud to be black stand tall at heart
Even though some people give you no respect
Be intelligent, when you put em in check
Cause when you're ignorant, you get treated that way
And when they throw you in jail you got nothing to say
So if you don't listen it's not my fault
I'll be getting paid while you'll be paying the cost
Sitting in the jailhouse running your mouth
While me and my peoples try to get out
The ghetto
The ghetto
(Talking bout the ghetto)
The ghetto
The ghetto
(Funk funky ghetto)
Trying to survive, trying to stay alive
The ghetto
The ghetto
(Talking bout the ghetto)

Medicine Man Lyrics – George Benson
This town has no mercy
When you're on your own
When there's no one close to you
No place to call your home
In the back alley shadows
My body yearns, the pain it grows
A needle holds the solution
Feel the sting no let it flow
A dangerous game - no place to hide
I'm looking for you to keep me satisfied
Medicine man
You hold the key - unlock the door
Like a knife in your hand
A spell that you cast for evermore
I need a shot of satisfaction
My body aches - my blood runs cold
I need a killer chain reaction
That's gonna rock me to the bone
I'm burnin' inside - I'm under the gun
You got what it takes - you know you're the one
Medicine man
You hold the key - unlock the door
Like a knife in your hand
A spell that you cast for evermore
A dangerous game - no plave to hide
I'm lookin' for you to keep me satisfied
Medicine man
You hold the key - unlock the door
Like a knife in your hand
A spell that you cast for evermore
When you're on your own
When there's no one close to you
No place to call your home
In the back alley shadows
My body yearns, the pain it grows
A needle holds the solution
Feel the sting no let it flow
A dangerous game - no place to hide
I'm looking for you to keep me satisfied
Medicine man
You hold the key - unlock the door
Like a knife in your hand
A spell that you cast for evermore
I need a shot of satisfaction
My body aches - my blood runs cold
I need a killer chain reaction
That's gonna rock me to the bone
I'm burnin' inside - I'm under the gun
You got what it takes - you know you're the one
Medicine man
You hold the key - unlock the door
Like a knife in your hand
A spell that you cast for evermore
A dangerous game - no plave to hide
I'm lookin' for you to keep me satisfied
Medicine man
You hold the key - unlock the door
Like a knife in your hand
A spell that you cast for evermore
Standing Together Lyrics – George Benson
Have I told you I love you
Or has it been a while since I said I did?
Have I told you that I care
Or have I said something I can`t face?
These are thoughts that go through my mind
To make sure that my love stands the test of
time, and
When I think of you loving me
Yes, I know it`s a love that was meant to be
Standing together is you and me
Living in love is our destiny
We will be floating on like an endless sea
We will be standing together
If I took you for granted
Well, that will never ever happen again
You thought me love is an action
More than a lover, you were my best friend
You brought me to a love so new
And the joy that I feel, I owe it all to you
When I think of you loving me
It`s a love that I know that was meant to be
Standing together is you and me
Living in love is our destiny
We will be floating on like an endless sea
We will be standing together
Standing together is you and me
Living in love is our destiny
We will be floating on like an endless sea
We will be standing together
With open ears and a listening heart
Tears fell, and we rejoiced inside
Our new love grew side by side, hand in hand
And slowly we began to stand
Standing together is you and me
Living in love is our destiny
Floating on like an endless sea
We will be standing together
Or has it been a while since I said I did?
Have I told you that I care
Or have I said something I can`t face?
These are thoughts that go through my mind
To make sure that my love stands the test of
time, and
When I think of you loving me
Yes, I know it`s a love that was meant to be
Standing together is you and me
Living in love is our destiny
We will be floating on like an endless sea
We will be standing together
If I took you for granted
Well, that will never ever happen again
You thought me love is an action
More than a lover, you were my best friend
You brought me to a love so new
And the joy that I feel, I owe it all to you
When I think of you loving me
It`s a love that I know that was meant to be
Standing together is you and me
Living in love is our destiny
We will be floating on like an endless sea
We will be standing together
Standing together is you and me
Living in love is our destiny
We will be floating on like an endless sea
We will be standing together
With open ears and a listening heart
Tears fell, and we rejoiced inside
Our new love grew side by side, hand in hand
And slowly we began to stand
Standing together is you and me
Living in love is our destiny
Floating on like an endless sea
We will be standing together
Fly By Night Lyrics – George Benson
It's hard to say I'm sorry
May we just forget about today
You see, I fly by night
I fly by night
I laid my love beside the door
And left you sleeping on the floor
So long, I fly by night
I fly by night
And though you might think
It's too bad of me
I have to leave you
With used memories
I have no stomach for the dawn
I feel I should be moving on
And so I fly by night
Now lady luck's deserted me
The ghosts of love stand clear to see
They also fly by night
Strange figures in the dark
Did Cupid strike and leave his mark?
It seems his arrows fly by night
They fly by night
Let's fly
May we just forget about today
You see, I fly by night
I fly by night
I laid my love beside the door
And left you sleeping on the floor
So long, I fly by night
I fly by night
And though you might think
It's too bad of me
I have to leave you
With used memories
I have no stomach for the dawn
I feel I should be moving on
And so I fly by night
Now lady luck's deserted me
The ghosts of love stand clear to see
They also fly by night
Strange figures in the dark
Did Cupid strike and leave his mark?
It seems his arrows fly by night
They fly by night
Let's fly
