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

"Standing Together" (1998)

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

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

"That's Right" (1996)

That's Right Lyrics – George Benson

I wanna tell you a story every man outta know
If you want a little lovin' you gotta start real slow
She gonna love you tonight if you just treat her right

Oh, squeeze her real gentle, you gotta make her feel good
Tell her that you love her like you know you should
She gonna love you tonight if you just treat her right

If you practice my method just as hard as you can
You gonna get a reputation as a lovin' man
Yeah, you'll be glad every night that you treated her right

Hey, hey, hey

Gotta squeeze her real gentle, you gotta make her feel good
And tell her that you love her like you know you should
She gonna love you all night if you just treat her right

If you practice my method just as hard as you can
You gonna get a reputation as a lovin' man
Yeah, you'll be glad every night that you treated her right

Hey

If you practice my method just as hard as you can
You gonna get a reputation as a lovin' man
Then you'll be glad every night that you treated her right

True Blue Lyrics – George Benson

Never been a millionaire
And I tell you mama I don't care
Never gonna own a race-horse
Or a fast back mid-engine Porsche
Don't think I'll own a private jet
On the Stock Exchange I'm no threat
So won't you help me make up my mind
Don't you think I'd better get myself back home
Sitting in the moonlight glow
Excuse me if my feelings show
Watching all the trucks roll by
Dreaming up an alibi
You see, back home I'm considered the fool
But maybe they're right I don't know
So can't you help make up my mind
Don't you think I'd better get myself back home
Who cares

Daddy says he'll buy me car
To drive just as far as I need
He wants me back at any expense
He's got a lot more money than sense
Funny but now that I'm gone
They all wanna be concerned
Oh please can you make up my mind
Don't you think I'd better get myself back home
Just don't know what to do
Maybe I'll walk, maybe I'll ride, maybe I'll never ever decide

Get out da way
I gotta get on home
I gotta get home as soon as I can

Footprints In The Sand Lyrics – George Benson

People hand in hand
Future in the plan
Promises we make
Sometimes fade away
Like footprints in the sand

Love's a game of chance
I've come to understand
What my greatest fear is
Someday you'll disappear
Like footprints in the sand

But life was meant to live
And love was meant to give
No-one ever said
That you could depend
On whispers to the wind

Love's a game of chance
I've come to understand
What my greatest fear is
Someday you'll disappear
Like footprints in the sand

So I will build my castle on the sea
And pray that you'll come back to me
And there I'll wait faithfully
For your return, your return

Love's a game of chance
I've grown to understand
Hope will keep you near
She will reappear
Like footprints in the sand
In the sand, in the sand

"Love Remembers" (1993)

Got To Be There Lyrics – George Benson

Got to be there, got to be there in the morning when she says hello to the world.
Got to be there, got to be there, bring her good times and show her that she's my girl.
Oh, what a feeling there'll be the moment I know she loves me.
'Cause when I look in her eyes.
I realize I need her sharing the world beside me.
So I've got to be there, got to be there in the morning, and welcome her into my world, and show her that she's my girl.
When she says hello world!
Got to be there.

Got to be there, got to be there
When she needs someone to keep her through the night.
Got to be there, got to be there, to take her hand and lead her into my life.
Oh, what a feeling there'll be the moment I know she loves me
'Cause when I look in her eyes,
I realize I need her sharing the world beside me.
That's why I've got to be there, got to be there where love begins and that's ev'rywhere she goes;
I've got to be there so she knows that when she's with me she's home.
Got to be there, got to be there, got to be there.
Got to be there, got to be there, got to be there.
Got to be there, got to be there, got to be there.

Got to be there, got to be there in the morning when he says hello to the world.
Got to be there, got to be there, bring him good times and show him that I'm his girl.
Oh, what a feeling there'll be the moment I know he loves me.
'Cause when I look in his eyes.
I realize I need him sharing the world beside me.
So I've got to be there, got to be there in the morning, and welcome him into my world, and show him that I'm his girl.
When he says hello world!
Got to be there.

Got to be there, got to be there when he needs someone to keep him thru the night.
Got to be there, got to be there, to take his hand and lead him into my life.
Oh, what a feeling there'll be the moment I know he loves me
'Cause when I look in his eyes,
I realize I need him sharing the world beside me.
That's why I've got to be there, got to be there where love begins and that's ev'rywhere he goes;
I've got to be there so he knows that when he's with me he's home.
Got to be there, got to be there, got to be there.
Got to be there, got to be there, got to be there.

Love Of My Life Lyrics – George Benson

You are the love of my life
I knew it right from the start
The moment I looked at you
You found a place in my heart

You are the love of my life
You give me reason to live
You taught me how to be strong
With you is where I belong

No one's ever touched me
Quite the way you touched me
People search a life time
To find what we have

You are the love of my life
One thing that's good in this life
I'll spend the rest of my days
Just loving you

You are the love of my life
The heart and sould of my life
Once I was lost and alone
With you at last I am home

You are the love of my life
You give me reason to live
You give me so much of you
And leave me room to be free

No one's ever touched me
Quite the way you touched me
People search a life time
To find what we have

You are the love of my life
One thing that's good in this life
And in a world full of change
One thing I'm sure of

You are the love of my life
The one thing that makes sense in this world
I'll spend the rest of my days
Just loving you

You are the love of my life
And I thank god I'm alive
To spend my lifetime with you
You are the love of my life

Kiss And Make Up Lyrics – George Benson

I didn't mean to,
Start any scene to
Make you sigh
Hope to die

It's most immoral
For us to quarrel
Why can't we
Both agree

Don't you know Ben Franklin wrote about this thing at length?
On the proposition that in union there is strength?
Why raise a storm up
If we'll just warm up

The blues will slumber
We'll have their number
Let's kiss and make up
Come on, let's wake up

For I need you and you need me
Let's kiss and make up
No use to break up
When we can live in harmony

I'll give you your way
You give me my way
And out the doorway
Our cares will fly away

If we be happy
The way is clear
Let's kiss, and make up
No use to break up

We need each other, dear
Let's kiss and make up
No cares to rake up
For I need you and you need me

No reprimanding
Full understanding
That we can live in harmony
The world is prose-why

When we are fighting
Lets make it rosy
By reuniting
Two heads are better

Than what I hear
Let's kiss and make up
No use to break up
We need each other, dear

Why should we shake up
A new earthquake-up
Take the uptake-up
And soon they'll bake-up

A wedding cake-up
Let's kiss and make up
We need each other dear

Lovin' On Borrowed Time Lyrics – George Benson

I can't be sure, but I think our love is slipping away,
Where did it go? The passion we had yesterday?
Was it something I've done? I can't read your mind.
Is there somebody new? Am I lovin' on borrowed time?

You hold me close, but you seem a million miles away.
That look in your eyes, the times you've got nothing to say.
I've got to know, are you really mine?
Don't torment me: am I lovin' on borrowed time?

Don't beat me up, that would be unkind,
Baby, tell me for real.
Is my mind playing tricks on my heart and soul,
To cause the way that I feel?

That when you kiss, the magic that once was here,
What used to rock our world, at times seems so insincere.
Is it too late to save? Have we crossed that line?
Let's not go one more day, lovin' on borrowed time.

Just tell me, girl, where your comin' from,
You can be honest with me.
Is my heart playin' tricks on my mind this time,
Through my insecurity?

You're still my love, no matter where I our road may lead.
I guess that time will tell, if you and I were meant to be.
I wouldn't change a thing, and that's the fault of mine.
Don't let me go one more day, lovin' on borrowed time.

Ohhhhh
There's a chill wind blowin'
Oooooo
Lovin' on borrowed time.

Lost In Love Lyrics – George Benson

I don't wanna waste your precious time
So if I keep talking, baby, you can know my mind
'Cause I got a heart disease that only you can cure
So cast you magic on the water, baby, and make this ocean pure

Ooh, when ever I sensed danger in the company of strangers
I have to find the courage enough to go
I gotta glue myself together, rise above the stormy weather
We defined this parting pleasure 'cause, baby, don't you know?

I've been lost in love
I've been lost in love
Oh yeah, lost in love
Baby, my, my baby, it's been much too long

Baby, I've been searching for a sympathetic soul
To fill my world with healing, yes, to make this good man whole
Once upon a time, long ago and far away, happiness wasn't mine
Though I prayed, it did not stay, did not stay

But still I won't surrender 'cause my heart still remembers
The memory so tender love would greet
So I ain't accepting never, 'cause if it takes forever
I'll put it back together and again my heart would sing

Lost in love
I've been lost in love, baby
Lost in love
My, my baby, it's been much too long, oh, yes

So I ain't accepting never 'cause if it takes forever
I'll put it back together and again my heart would sing

Lost in love
Lost in love
Lost in love
My, my baby, it's been much too long, oh yeah

Lost in love
Lost in love
Lost in love
My, my baby, it's been much too long

Lost in love
Lost in love
Lost in love
My, my baby, it's been much too long

Lost in love
