The Supremes Album

(William "Smokey" Robinson)

You may not how
To make words rhyme
Carry a tune or a clap on time now
You may have no knowledge of musical things

But deep down inside of me
You have created a melody
You're the composer of the song
That my heart sings

You may not what
Quarter notes are
Or what I mean by Four to the Bar now
Such musical terms may be Greek to your ears

But deep down inside of me
You have created a melody
You're the composer of the song
That my heart hears

Now it's a tender song
It's like a rhapsody, a symphony
This song I find in this heart of mine
And it's begging you
Let nothing keep us apart
Oh, my darling
'Cause you put a song in my heart

Now this song that I find in my heart for you
Every lyric and line
I swear it's true
The number one song on my personal chart

Deep down inside of me
You have created a melody
You're the composer of the song
That's in my heart

Deep down inside of me
You have created a symphony
You're the composer
You put a song in my heart
You're the composer
You put a song in my heart
You're the composer
You put a song in my heart

(Sylvester Stewart)

Sometimes I'm right and I can be wrong
My own beliefs are in my song
The butcher, the thinker, the drummer and then
Makes no difference what group I'm in
I am everyday people, yeah

There is a blue one, who can't accept the green one
For living with a fat one, trying to be a skinny one
And different strokes for different folks
And so on and so on and scooby dooby doo
We got to live together

I am no better and neither are you
We are the same whatever we do
You love me, you hate me you load me and then
You can't figure out what bag I'm in
I am everyday people, yeah

There is a long hair, who doesn't like the short hair
For being such a rich one, that will not help the poor one
Different strokes for different folks
And so on and so on and scooby dooby doo
We got to live together

There is a yellow one, who doesn't like the black one
Who won't accept the red one, who won't accept the white one
Different strokes for different folks
And so on and so on and scooby dooby doo
I am everyday people

'Cause there is a blue one, who can't accept the green one
For living with the fat one, trying to be a skinny one
There is a long hair, who doesn't like the short hair
For being such a rich one, that doesn't help the poor one
I am everyday people

'Cause there is a yellow one, who don't accept the black one
Who won't accept the red one, who won't accept the white one
I am everyday people

(Berry Gordy/Henry Cosby)

Capricorn, Scorpio, Taurus, Gemini, Virgo, Cancer,
Pisces, Leo, Libra, Aries, Aquarius, Sagittarius

The moon shines bright above
But the charts declare
It's not my night for love
Ah, deep in my heart
I feel a good vibrations saying
"You and me, babe, would make a good combination"

There's no need in looking to the skies
Can't you see the stars shine in my eyes
I love you, boy, I really love you, boy

No matter what sign you are
You're gonna be mine you are
Can't let astrology chart our destiny
No matter what sign you are
You're gonna be mine you are
The beat of the heart, my love
Is stronger than the charts, my love

Your water sign just lit my fire
You fill me with such desire
I love you, boy, I really love you, boy

No matter what sign you are
You're gonna be mine you are
Can't let astrology chart our destiny
No matter what sign you are
You're gonna be mine you are
I need you beside me, love
Only you can guide my love

Capricorn, Scorpio, Taurus, Gemini, Virgo,
Cancer, Pisces, Leo, Libra, Aries

I don't care about your rising sign
All I know is when your lips touch mine
You move me, boy, you really move me, boy

No matter what sign you are
You're gonna be mine you are
Yes, you are
Hold me, boy
No matter what sign you are
You're gonna be mine you are

Hey Western Union Man
(Kenneth Gamble/Leon Huff/Jerry Butler)

Oh, Western Union man
Send a telegram to my baby
Send a telegram, send a telegram, oh
Send a telegram to my baby
This is all I want you to say.

(I want you to)
Tell her that I'm all alone
I tried to call her on the phone
Tell her I'm in misery
Think she's avoiding me
If a telegram won't do
Send a box of candy too
Maybe some flowers
Tell her that I miss her for hours and hours
Send a telegram, send a telegram, oh
Send a telegram, oh, to my baby
Do you hear what I say?

Oh, Western Union man, send a telegram!
Oh, send a telegram to my baby
Western Union man, send a telegram!
Send a telegram, send a telegram, oh
Send a telegram, man, to my baby
This is what I want you to do:

Listen, tell'er
Have you got a boy you can send
This is what I want him to do
Put him on his bike right away
See if he can get a message through
Maybe tomorrow, mail it right away
Want the girl to know that I miss her
Something like yesterday
Send a telegram, send a telegram, oh
Send a telegram, man! To my baby.

Western Union man, send a telegram
Send a telegram to my baby
Western Union man, send a telegram, oh
Send a telegram, send a telegram, send it
Send a telegram, oh, to my baby
Do you hear what I say?

Hey Western Union man, send a telegram, oh
Send a telegram to my baby
Western Union man, send a telegram
Send it, man, send it to my baby (send it, send it)
To my baby, send it right away.

Western Union man, send a telegram
Oh, send a telegram to my baby
Western Union man, hey, send a telegram.

As I walk this land of broken dreams
I have visions of many things
But happiness is just an illusion
Filled with sadness and confusion

What becomes of the broken-hearted
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind

Maybe,
The fruits of love grow all around
But for me they come a tumblin' down
Everyday heartaches grow a little stronger
I can't stand this pain much longer

I walk in shadows, searching for light
Cold and alone, no comfort in sight
Hoping and prayin' for someone to care
Always movin' and goin' nowhere

What becomes of the broken-hearted
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
Help me, please

I'm searching though I don't succeed
for someones love
There's a growing need
all is lost, there's no place for beginning
All that's left is an unhappy ending

Now what becomes of the broken-hearted
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
I'll be searching everywhere
Just to find someone to care

I'll be looking everyday
I know I've got to find a way
Nothing's gonna stop me now
I'll find a way somehow
I'll be searching everywhere

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Mom was cooking bread
She wore a dirty, raggedy scarf around her head
Always had her stockings low, rolled to her feet, she just didn't know
She wore a sloppy dress
Oh, no matter how she tried, she always looked a mess
Out of the pot she ate, never used a fork or a dinner plate

I was always so afraid for my uptown friends to see her
Afraid one day when I was grown, that I would be her

In a college town
Away from home, a new identity I found
Said I was born elite, with maids and servants at my feet
I must have been insane
I lied and said Mama died on a weekend trip to Spain
She never got out of the house, never even boarded a train

Married a guy, was living high, I didn't want him to know her
She had a grandson, 2 years old, that I never even showed her

I'm living in shame
Mama, I miss you
I know you're not to blame
Mama, I miss you

Came a telegram
Mama passed away while making homemade jam
Before she died, she cried to see me by her side
She always did her best
Ah, cooking, cleaning, always in the same old dress
Working hard down on her knees, always trying to please

Mama, mama, mama, can you hear me?
Mama, mama, mama, can you hear me?

I'm living in shame
Mama, I miss you
I know you've done your best
Mama, I miss you

Won't you forgive me, Mom?
For all the wrong I've done
I know you've done your best
Ooh, I know you've done the very best you could
But I never understood
Working hard down on your knees

(James Rado/Gerome Ragni/Galt MacDermot)

When the moon is in the seventh house
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars

This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius
Age of Aquarius
Aquarius
Aquarius

Harmony and understanding
Sympathy and trust abounding
No more falsehoods or derisions
Golden living dreams of visions
Mystic crystal revelation
And the mind's true liberation
Aquarius
Aquarius

When the moon is in the seventh house
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars

This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius
Age of Aquarius
Aquarius

Let the sunshine
Let the sunshine in
The sunshine in

Let the sunshine
Let the sunshine in
The sunshine in

Let the sunshine
Let the sunshine in
The sunshine in

(Burt Bacharach/Hal David)

Let the music play
Just a little longer
Just a little longer
Let me hold him in my arms
A little longer

Make the music play
Just a little slower
Just a little slower
Let me hear his tender sighs
A little longer

Make the music play
Keep this magic going
Keep those trumpets blowing
All through the night

Don't ever skip a beat for
He may slip away
And if we were parted
I'd be broken hearted
Till he's in my arms to stay
Please let the music play

Make the music play
Just a little slower
Till he's in my arms to stay
Please let the music play

Let the music play
Keep this magic going
Keep those trumpets blowing
All through the night

Don't ever skip a beat for
He may slip away
And if we were parted
I'd be broken hearted
Till he's in my arms to stay
Please let the music play

Let the music play
Just a little longer
Let the music play
Just a little longer
Let the music play
Just a little longer
Let the music play

(Vicki Basemore/Sylvia Moy/Henry Cosby)

With a child's heart
Go face the worries of the day
With a child's heart
Turn each problem into play

No need to worry
No need to fear
Just being alive
Makes it all so very clear

That's with a child's heart
Nothing can ever get you down
With a child's heart
You've got no reason to frown

Love, love is welcome
As a sunny, sunny day
No grownup thoughts
To lead our hearts astray

Take life easy
Easy like a child
So gay and care free
Yeah

Love, love is welcome
As a sunny, sunny day
The whole world smiles with you
As you go your own merry way

'Cause with a child's heart
Nothing can ever get you down
With a child's heart
We've got no reason to frown

Discover Me (And You'll Discover Love)
(John Bristol-Doris McNeill-Beatrice Verdi)

Oh babe, ooo babe
Hidden here behind four walls, a new night passes by
I'm just a soul deprived of love, I've yet to reason why
I've got so much to give someone, so many dreams to share
And a promise of a faithful love if someone would only care.
Discover me and you'll discover happiness
Discover me and you'll discover love, sweet love.

The day begins and disappears, I go my lonely way
Oh, thinking that tomorrow's gonna be my lucky day
An unrequired love can be a hurting thing, it's true
But I can bear a hurting thing
Baby, until you discover me and you'll discover happiness
Discover me and you抣l discover love, sweet love.

Could it be I'm placing all my values much too high
Saving all my loving for that very special guy
And I yell out for that someone who belongs to me alone
An unforeseen lover
Discover me and you'll discover happiness
Discover me if you need loving
Discover me, babe, oh baby, if you need loving
Discover me, discover me, discover me babe
Oh babe if you need loving discover me
Discover me oh babe.

(Beatrice Verdi/William "Smokey" Robinson/Warren Moore)

Good morning world
How will today greet me
A single girl who needs a man
To love sweetly

A man to wrap his loving arms around me
Let me know that he's glad he's found me
I'll be his joy

Come on heart
Let's search for the boy
He's out there waiting somewhere
Tell me will this be the day
He'll come my way

You know, I comb my hair
While I run my bath
And I wonder where
Will he cross my path

Will I see him at the corner bus stop
The art museum or the market where I shop
He'll catch my eye

Come on heart
Let's go find the guy
He's out there waiting somewhere
Tell me will this be the day
Love will say

Now is the time
Here is the place
This is the hand
Here is the face
This is the man
Who set the pace
Your heart is beating

By and by and by
I know my day will dawn
That day when I will know before it's gone
Hey, what it means to have found that someone
Who can make up two hearts become one
Love can be found

Come on heart
Let's go look around
He's out there waiting somewhere
Tell me will this be the day
He'll come my way

Tell me that this is the day
I hope and pray
I hope and pray
That this will be the day
He'll come my way

Lawrence Brown-George Gordy-Allen Story-Anna Gaye

It's times like this, love
When my heart is filled with heavenly bliss
And you've given me a tender kiss
I begin to realize I'm so thankful that you're mine
'Cause I'm glad, so glad
Glad, glad I got somebody like you around

My heart grows fonder, baby, of you each and every day
Can't you hear it's singing praises, baby
To you in its own sweet way
Let you know sure I'm glad I got you
I don't think I could make it without you
'Cause I'm glad, so glad
Glad, glad I got somebody like you around

Glad, glad, glad, glad I got you
Glad, glad, glad, glad I got you

You better believe I'm having the time of my life
I'd be so proud if you'd ask me to be your wife
I hope and pray that it might be real soon
Like early in the morning or right this afternoon
'Cause I'm glad, so glad
I'm glad, glad I got somebody like you around

I remember all the tears, love
You washed away through childhood years
You were always very near, love
When I needed somebody, when I needed somebody
When I needed somebody like you around
When I needed somebody, when I needed somebody
When I needed somebody like you around
'Cause I'm glad, glad I got you
I'm glad, glad, glad, glad I got you.
