Natalie Cole Album

I've been so many places in my life and time

I've sung a lot of songs and I've made some bad climbs

I've acted out my life in stages with ten thousand people watching

Oh, but we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you

I know your image of me is what I hope to be, I've treated you unkindly

Oh, but Darling can't you see that, there's no one more important to me

Baby, baby, can't you see through me, 'cause we're alone now

And I'm singing this song to you, you taught me precious secrets

Of a true love withholding nothing, you came out in front

When I was hiding, yeah, yeah, but now its so much better

If my words don't quite come together, please listen to the melody

'Cause my love is in there somewhere hiding

I love you in a place where there is no space or time, I love you for my life

You are a friend of mine, and when my life is over

Remember, remember, remember when we were together

And we are alone now, and I was singing this song to you

We were alone, and I was singing, yeah singing

We were alone, and I was singing this song for you

Singing my song, I'm singing my song for you

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo

This is a song about a very big, strong, black, sexy southern baptist minister

Who thinks he's got his program all together, until he meets a lady who lets him know

That he ain't got it all together, his name is reverend dr. lee

Reverend lee, he went to the water, and he prayed to the lord

About old satan's daughter, it seems in a dream, child, while he lay sleeping

She climbed in his bed, starts rubbing and weeping, ah, she was twisting and turning, hmm

She was begging and pleading, loving and burning, panting, breathing, ooh, ah, ah

Reverend lee, she said, lord knows that I love you child, but I would not even, no, no,

Place God above you, well reverend lee, he lifted his arms high

Said heavenly father, take me home to the sky, he said lord please don't test me

Not down where she touched me, my mind is so hazy


And you know my body is hungry, oh yeah, and then God rolled the thunder

And he hurled the lightening uh, oh, he seemed to be angry

Well it really was frightening, yes he was, oh the thunder grew louder

Darkened conditions, and just then a voice said, God cannot be petitioned

Just then the devil, oh he emerged from the water, and he said in that dry voice

Your God will not barter, reverend lee, he went screaming from the water

And he was hotly pursued by old satan's daughter

And she said, she said reverend, ooh, reverend, reverend lee

She said reverend lee, do it to me, she said, she said, uh, reverend lee

(reverend, reverend, reverend, reverend lee), I don't want nobody else to do it

Do it but you, do it, do it, yeah you, do it, do it to me

Your love, like wine. Tasting sweeter to me every day
Your kiss, devine. And it melts the cold inside away
All of my life, I've been waiting for a love like this
And now, that your here romance is just a second away.
It's gonna stay

'Til the snow falls on the Sahara, 'Til the sun freezes over, 'Til the
Mojave red turns into blue
'Til my lungs get tired of breathing, and my heart stops it's beating,
then I'll stop loving you.

And in the dark, when there's no one calling out your name.
Well I'll hold you so tight, and I'll whisper to you once again, and again

'Til the snow falls on the Sahara, 'Til the sun freezes over,
'Til the Mojave red turns into blue.
When the music's no longer playing and the faithless start praying,
I'll stop loving you.

When the snow falls on the Sahara (uh huh), 'Til the sun freezes over,
'Til the Mojave red turns into blue (That's a long Time) When my lungs
get tired of breathing (oh) and my heart stops it's beating

I'll stop loving you.
I don't want to waste a single heartbeat
And sometimes my words get in the way
But I hear your love just fine. Just Fine
And it's gonna take a long time

'Til the snow falls on the Sahara, 'Til the sun freezes over
'Til the Mojave red turns into blue (That's a long time)
When the music's no longer playing, and the faithless start praying
I'll stop loving you, oh. uh huh uh huh (When the snow falls on the
Sahara, and the sun freezes over, when the Mojave red turns into blue)
I'll be loving you, baby. (When my lungs get tired of breathing and my
heart stops it's beating) I'll stop loving you

(Written by Taj Mahal and Jesse Ed Davis)

Just when you think you know me, think again

(Corinna, Corinna, Corinna)

Hmm, ain't nothin' like my Corinna (Corinna)

(Corinna) Hmm, ain't nothin' like my Corinna (Corinna)

I got a bird wanna whistles

Baby, got a bird

Honey got a bird will sing

Baby, got a bird

Honey got a bird will sing

Without my Corinna

Sure don't mean

Sure don't mean a natural thing

Oh, I learned to love you

Baby, for I call

Honey, for I call your name

Baby, for I call

Honey, for I call out your name

I wouldn't trade your love for money

Baby, you're my warm hearts

Honey, you're my warm hearts flame

Oh, oh, oh (Corinna)

(Hmm, ain't nothing like my Corinna)

(Na, na, na, na, na, na, na (Corinna)

(Hmm, ain't nothing like my Corinna)

Have mercy, have mercy, baby

Honey, you're my hard luck

Baby, you're my hard luck soul

Honey, you're my hard luck

Women, on my hard luck soul

Got a rainbow round my shoulder

Shine like silver

Looks like some ol' fools' gold

-Musical interlude-

(Ooh, ah, ooh)

(Corinna) Oh, oh

(Hmm, ain't nothing like my Corinna)

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, ooh

(Corinna) (Hmm, ain't nothing like my Corinna)

Well, I love you so much, honey

Gotta tell the world

Baby, baby, tell the world I do

(Corinna)

Oh, honey tell the world

Baby, tell the world I do

You know, you know, you know, you know

Ain't no man, ain't no man in fourteen countries

Gonna love me baby

Baby like the way you do

Hey, hey, hey

I got a bird wanna whistle

Baby, got a bird

Honey, got a bird will sing

Honey got a bird

Baby, got a bird that will sing

Oh, without my Corinna

Sure don't mean

Sure don't mean a natural thing

Gotta say it one more time (Corinna) Oh

(Hmm, ain't nothing like my Corinna)

Oh (Corinna)

(Hmm, ain't nothing like my Corinna)

Ain't nothin, nothin, nothin, nothin

(Hmm, ain't nothin like my Corinna)

Tell the world, tell the world about it (Corinna)

(Hmm, ain't nothin like my Corinna) Sing!

(Hmm, ain't nothin like my)

Oh, oh, oh, oh, (Corinna) Oh

(Hmm, ain't nothin like my Corinna)

Corinna, Corinna (Corinna)

(Hmm, ain't nothin like my Corinna)

Corinna, oh, oh, Corinna (Corinna)

(Hmm, ain't nothin like my Corinna)...

Say you love me, say I'm the one your eyes see

Tell me you need me deep down inside like I need you

You see I need you to see me through, I wanna hear you say Darling, Darling

I love you, so say, say you love me, (Say you love me) yeah, yeah

(Say you love me) Say, just say you love me

(Say you love me, say you love me) Through the rain, and through the cold

Together we will never grow old, sometimes the going will get a little tough

And I must admit living with me can be rough, I need you to see me through

I get off when you say, baby, baby, baby, I love you

(Say) So say, (say) just say you love me, wanna hear you say (say) say

(Say) you love me (you love me), oh, ooh let me be, I wanna be your woman

Together we can make a stand, I know, I know, let me take your trembling hand

Somewhere in God's country we'll settle on a piece of land

Because I need you to see me through, I just wanna hear you say

Oh, oh, oh, baby, baby, baby I love you, I love (say) you

So say (Say) say (you love me), say you love me

Oh, just wanna hear you say, say, say, (say), say, (say you love me)

Oh---oh----, (Say) Say (say) tell me baby that you love me (say)

Oh baby, oh baby, oh, (repeat say)
