Natalie Cole Album

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh,
Oh, oh,
Ooh, oh, oh, yeh
Hm, hm, hm, hm, hm
This will be an everlasting love
This will be the one I’ve waited for
This will be the first time anyone has loved me
Oh, oh, oh
I’m so glad you found me in time
And I’m so glad that you’ve rectified my mind
This will be an everlasting love on me
Oh, oh
Loving you is some kind of wonderful
Because you show me just how much you care
You’ve given me the thrill of a lifetime
And made me believe you’ve got more thrills to spare, oh
This will be an everlasting love, oh yes it will now
You’ve brought a lot of sunshine into my life
You’ve filled me with happiness I never knew
You gave me more joy than I ever dreamed of
And no one, no one can take the place of you, ooh
This will be, you and me, yes-sir-ee, eternally
Hugging and squeezing and kissing and pleasing
Together, forever, through rain or whatever
Yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh, you and me
So long as I’m living, true love I’ll be giving
To you I’ll be serving cuz you’re so deserving
Hey, you’re so deserving, you’re so deserving
Yeh, yeh, yeh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Love, love, love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love, love
Love, love, love
From now on, from now on, yeh
From now on, from now on, yeh
(repeat)

I bet you wonder where I've been

I searched to find a love within

I came back to let you know

Got a thing for you and I can't let it go

My friends wonder what is wrong with me

Well, I'm in a daze from your love you see

I came back to let you know

Got a thing for you and I can't let it go

Some people go around the world of love

But they may never find what they dream of

What you won't do, oh, do it for love

You've tried everything but you don't give up

In my world only you, make me do for love what I would not do

My friends wonder what is wrong with me

I'm in a daze from your love you see

And I, I came back to let you know

Got a thing for you and I can't let it go, oh, yeah

Musical Interlude

You know I only want the best is true

If you believe the things I do for you

What you won't do, oh, come on and do it for love

You've tried everything but you don't give up

In my world only you

Make me do for love what I would not do

I've got love on my mind
I've got love on my mind
I've got love on my mind
And there's nothing particular wrong
It's a feelin' I feel inside
When I woke up early this mornin'
It was starin' me straight in my eye

I've got love on my mind
I've got love on my mind
I've got love on my mind
When you touch me I can't resist
And you've touched me a thousand times
When I think of your tender kiss
Then and there I start to unwind

In your arms
I like to be
Caressin' you gentle and tenderly
From sunrise to sunset
All through the day
I've been waiting for your return
And you know this is where I'll be
I can say to the world I learned
Only you can satisfy me, satisfy me
Oh, you have made me so very happy
Oh, baby, baby
Love on my mind
Love on my mind
I've got love on my mind

Inseparable
That's how we'll always be
Inseparable
Just you and me
It's so wonderful
To know you'll always be around me

Incredible
What you are to me
Incredible
You bring out the woman in me
With your style of love
Inseparable
Yes we are

We're like a flower to a tree
Like words to a melody of love
There's no way we could break up
No words that could make us blow our thing
We are just~

Inseparable
That's how it is
Inseparable
For the rest of our years
It's so wonderful
To know you'll always be around

You're my morning star
Shining brightly beside me
And if we keep this love
We will last through all eternity
Just the way we are I love it, love it
It's just the way it should be

'Cause our love will stand tall as the trees
Our love will spread wide as the seas
Our love will shine bright in the night
Like the stars above
And we'll always be together, our love

My love is surely one thing
You can surely depend on
In times of darkness and fear
I go to you
I know you'll make me strong
You're gonna make me happy
You're gonna make me smile

'Cause our love will stand tall as the trees
Our love will be for the whole world to see
Our love will change people's wrongs to right
And we will never die
'Cause we'll always have each other, our love

Our love will stand tall as the trees
Our love will spread as wide as the seas
Our love will shine bright in the night
Like the stars above
And we'll always be together

Our love, yeah, our love
We got a good old fashioned love
Hey, hey baby, our love

Tonight, I, I just want to talk to the ladies, oh fellows your cool but girls

If you've got a good man, you'd better keep him,

Oh I know you're saying right now, what does she know

Who is she to tell me about my situation, well, I don't know your situation

But whatever it is, you should try to stay together

You know that big argument that you had the other night, remember

Well, today its not nothing, just don't let him leave you honey

Cause then you'll find out that it wasn't those real big things you loved about
him

It was the real small things, go on and laugh but its true

You know, things that you've seen a thousand times around the house

But never paid any attention to, like helping with the groceries

And helping in the yard and painting and repairing and huh, paying the bills

But you know now, all I have is memories and regrets

I could have given our love a chance to grow but no

I had to challenge it and be heard (oh), let me tell you something

That female liberation stuff, I don't know, sometimes I don't think its worth it

And I'm really feeling, feeling kind of bad yaul, I'm catching hell living here
alone

Hmm, I never realized, oh Lord, that you mean so much to me

I'm catching hell living here alone, I want you to come back baby

Come back cause here's where you belong, oh yeah

If I could replay, if I could replay that whole scene again, oh well

You know that I would never, never say it again, that our love, our love is at
its end

And oh, you know that I would kind of ease on back, yes I would

And let confusion pass on by, I took a fools'way out, oh yeah

Without one good reason why, I'm catching hell, catching hell

Lord I'm living, living, living here alone, Alone, lone, I didn't believe it
could be

You know all the pressure on me, all the time, oh, I'm catching hell, well, well

Living here alone, lone, lone, lone, lone, lone, lone, to tell you the truth

To tell you the truth I'm going out of my mind---, yeah, oh do you hear me
tonight

I don't have too (this is my story) much more to say except

Somebody (hey, this is my song) told me that if you've got something

That's good to you And you don't use it (sad, sad) you might lose it (sad, song)

(Song, so sad) So girls hold on to your good thing (Oh), (you gotta hold on a
little bit now)

And don't let go, oh---do you hear me tonight, It's so sad living alone

Living alone (Hmm), hold on to your good thing, hold on, (well, well) oh yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah---oh, oh, oh, Lordy, Lordy do you know what its like

Catching hell, (somebody turn up the microphone, oh---), Oh, no, no, no, no,
no, no

Written by Chuck Jackson and Marvin Yancy


Keep smiling, keep smiling, keep smiling, keep right on smiling

I know sometimes your whole world seems blue

Seems like the whole weight of the world is resting on you

But remember when you hang your head, its hard to see the sun

There's a brighter day, yes it is, just ask and I sure will come

But you've got to keep (keep smiling) well, ooh, yeah

(Keep smiling) Keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on

(Keep smiling) Ooh, ha (Don't you ever stop smiling)

Oh, don't you ever stop, no, no, no, oh, when you've got to keep on stepping on

You know that you've got to be strong and understand the facts of life

You won't get no place until you make some sacrifice

Try to make it a little easy when you're doing it on your own

Once you think you've got everything, the next day its all gone

But you got to keep (keep smiling), well, well, well, well (keep smiling)

Oh I know its hard, I know its hard, but you've to keep (keep smiling), oh---

(Don't you ever stop smiling) yeah, yeah---, oh-----, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh---

Yeah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, (keep smiling) keep a grin on your face yaul

Keep on stepping now, (keep smiling) oh, keep your head up to the sky

(Keep smiling) Oh-got to notice on the tip of your eyes, (Keep smiling)

You've got to keep on, keep on, keep on, (Keep smiling)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, (Keep smiling), Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha---

(Keep smiling) oh--keep on (don't you ever stop smiling) Smile, smile---

(Keep smiling)

Woh, woh, ha, yeah, hmm---, oh

Good morning heartache, you old gloomy site

Good morning heartache

Thought we said goodbye last night

I tossed and turned until it seemed that you had gone

But here you are with the dawn

Hoo, wish I'd forget you, but you're here to stay, yeah

It seems I met ya, when my love had gone away

I start each day out just by saying to you

Good morning heartache, what's new

Stop haunting me now, can't shake you no how

Why don't you just leave me alone

I've got those Monday blues

those straight through Sunday blues

Oh, good morning heartache, here we go

Here we go, here we go again, well

Good morning heartache

You're the one who knew me when

I guess I might as well get used to you hanging around

Good morning heartache, I see you're back in town

Good morning heartache, why don't ya sit on down, sit down ------

Written by N. Cole and L. Williams

Picture yourself on the sea of a setting sun

The salty air and the taste of your lover's hair

Inside you want to fly

Ah, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi

Come to the magical mist where the oceans kissed

A thousand kisses or more on the sandy shore

And never says goodbye

Ah, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi

Ooh, La Costa, ooh

Ooh, La Costa, ooh

Come feel the warm of the breeze as the swaying trees

Caress the velvety skies like a whisper telling you to come and fly

Ah, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi

Musical Interlude

Run with the wind at your side let it set you free

I'll watch the sun in your eyes as the seagulls fly

Along this lover's isle

Ah, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi

You are my love and my life, you're my everything

You calm the sea of my soul oh so tenderly

It makes me very high

Ah, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi

Ooh La Costa, wee, ooh, wee

Ooh La Costa, ooh

Picture yourself on the sea...

Come feel the warm of the breeze..

La Costa......

You may be in a big city or drivin down a country lane, yeah

Workin two jobs to make a livin

And all you do is complain, well

You should be thankful of what you got

Yes, you should be thankful of all you got

Wakin up in the mornin seein the sun rise (well, well)

Is enough to say I thank you, Lord

Rollin over seein my baby's eyes, uh

Is enough to say I thank you, Lord

I just wanna say thank you (thank you)

Thank you (thank you) thank you, thank you, Lord

(Thank you) thank you (thank you) thank you

(Thank you) thank you, Lord---

Be thankful of what you got (you know you should)

Be thankful of all you got

You may live in the valley, you may live on the highest hill

Some people say you don't do nothin but take the doctor's pills

You may be in a nursery, in a classroom

Drivin your big fine car, hup!

Airplanes, uh, take you uh far

Layin out in the sun, uh

Or just workin on the run

HOo, you should be thankful

Of what you got, I know you should

Be thankful, oh, yeah, of all you got

(Well, well) yeah----, ooh, oh

(Be thankful) we need to be thankful

(Of what you got) of everything we got

(Be thankful) we need to be more thankful

(Of all you got) of everything you got

(Be thankful) Thank you, thank you, thank you

(Of all you got) Thank you for all I got

(Be thankful) Thank you....

Growing up wasn't easy for Annie Mae

(Hoo, hoo, hoo)

A little girl in a great big world

Annie Mae (hoo, hoo, hoo)

No one knew about her past

Some people swore she'd never last

She was (growing up much too fast)

Growing (hoo, hoo, hoo)

Just a little too fast (hoo, hoo, hoo)

Never had her a Mama, no, no

Annie Mae (hoo, hoo, hoo)

Rarely heard a kind spoken word

Annie Mae (hoo, hoo, hoo)

Looking at life through an empty shell

And all the time she's catching hell

She was growing

(Growing up much too fast) up much too fast

Does anybody know where is Annie Mae today

Where oh where is Annie Mae

All you got to do is look into the faces of

All the young girls

On the avenue--(young girls!)

Oh, well, (hoo, hoo, hoo) ha

In the night hear her cry, Annie Mae (hoo, hoo, hoo)

Hurt and pain keeps coming again

And again, and again, Annie Mae (hoo, hoo, hoo)

Trippin' and runnin' is blowin' her mind

Tryin' to decide if she'll make it this time

She was (growing up) oh, yeah (much too fast)

She was (growing up much too fast)

Somebody got to stop her, oh Annie, Annie

(Ooh) (hoo, hoo, hoo) (where is Annie Mae)

[No lyrics]

We used to be so very happy and we used to have so much fun

And we used to spend our time together, we were as close as anyone

I used to feel your every feeling, I was a part of your every dream

I'm not saying that you've thrown me aside, but oh that's just the way that it seems

So if I've done anything that I shouldn't have done,

Wanna say I'm sorry, darling, I'm so sorry

And if I said anything that I shouldn't have said, I'm sorry, sorry, yeah

Now we're just getting used to a brand new situation

And I found out that temptation just won't let ya do good

So we must sit down and talk and be for real to each other

Cause I don't want my love for you to be misunderstood

If I've done anything that I shouldn't have done,/p>

I'm sorry, oh baby, I'm so sorry, if I said anything that I shouldn't have said

(I'm sorry) I'm sorry, I'm sorry, oh Lordy I'm so sorry

(Sorry) Sorry, sorry, hey----(sorry), if I've (if I've done anything) done anything

I (that I shouldn't have done) shouldn't have done

(I'm sorry) I'm sorry, baby, I'm sorry, (If I said anything) If I, if I said anything I

(That I shouldn't have said) shouldn't have said well I'm so

(I'm sorry) sorry, sorry, sorry, (If I've done anything)

I'm really, really sorry, baby, (that I shouldn't have done)

Ooh baby, I'm (I'm sorry) sorry, sorry, sorry, I'm (If I said anything) sorry, I'm sorry

(That I shouldn't have said) I'm so sorry, I'm sorry, sorry, really sorry

I'm so sorry, Yeah, sorry, I'm so sorry, sorry
