TRUE LOVE
***************
True love
Why’d you take so long
Every time I thought I found you
I was oh so wrong
True love
Were you playing with my heart
Or me not trying to feel that
They weren’t it from the start
I’d say yes I found you
And think maybe so
I’d say here’s my love true
And feel are you sure
But love is that feeling
Sharing no room with doubt
For I knew you were the key to my heart
Oh sweet love
Never go away
Let our love have us forever
To prove why we can’t stay
True love
Are you saying touché
Let is live as perfect lovers
With a promise for always
Let us live as perfect lovers
With a promise for always
DARK N’ LOVELY
***************
There is a place
On earth’s motherland
Where a people
Die in bantu stands
Manchild at eight
Will face guns of hate
Womanchild’s fate
Is life second rate
Just because they’re dark ‘n’ lovely
Just because they’re dark ‘n’ lovely
They do a dance
called Mbaqana jive
Rainbow people
Dancin’ to stay alive
After hours
Party hand in hand
After Shebeen
Terror strikes again
Just because they’re dark ‘n’ lovely
Just because they’re dark ‘n’ lovely
Dark ‘n’ lovely Dark ‘n’ lovely
Dark ‘n’ lovely
The whole planet’s watchin’
And the Sun God is watchin’, too
Hey there Botha
Yes, we are watchin’ you
Spirits can do
Jah will stop this reign
Watch our world turn
To help those in pain
Just because they’re dark ‘n’ lovely
Just because they’re dark ‘n’ lovely
Just because they’re dark ‘n’ lovely
Just because they’re dark ‘n’ lovely
Dark ‘n’ lovely Dark ‘n’ lovely
NEVER HAD A DREAM COME TRUE
***************
I never, never had a dream come true
In my every dream, I’m loved by you
And we’re free as the wind
And true love is no sin
Therefore, men are men, not machines
I never, never had a dream come true
Without you, the world out there is painted shades of blue
Since our roads never crossed
I work just to please the boss
Think I might as well get lost in my dreams
Do do do do do………
I never, never had a dream come true
Yes, I’m gonna dream about you baby my whole life through
Seems my folks are ashamed
Said I ain’t worth a thing
But I’m glad I’m chained to my dreams
Do do do do do……….
Keep on dreamin’
Sing along with me
Keep on dreamin’
MY EYES DON’T CRY
***************
I was a lonely no one
Living in a vacuum as life’s debris
Victimized as one whose self deprivation
Had made for my outer insecurity
I was a he ain’t nothin’
Living in the slums of love’s misery
Starving from the lack of sweet affection
‘Til you came to rescue me
My eyes don’t cry no more
My heart don’t ache no more
Since you walk through my door
I don’t have to no longer be blue
My eyes don’t cry no more
My heart don’t ache no more
Now that love’s touched my soul
All my lonely nights alone are through
I was a Mr. Lonely
Seeing only darkness in the bright of day
Blind even though my eyes were wide opened
But then your love sunshined my way
My eyes don’t cry no more
My heart don’t ache no more
Since you walk through my door
I don’t have to no longer be blue
My eyes don’t cry no more
My heart don’t ache no more
Now that love’s touched my soul
All my lonely nights alone are through
I don’t cry, baby baby I don’t cry
I don’t cry, baby baby I don’t cry
I don’t cry, baby baby I don’t cry
My life was without reason
Sinking in a hell that had no space or time
Falling to the burning pit of pain and sorrow
Until you saved this life of mine
My eyes don’t cry no more
My heart don’t ache no more
Since you walk through my door
I don’t have to no longer be blue
My eyes don’t cry no more
My heart don’t ache no more
Now that love’s touched my soul
All my lonely nights alone are through
I don’t cry, baby baby I don’t cry
I don’t cry, baby baby I don’t cry
I don’t cry, baby baby I don’t cry
I don’t cry, baby baby I don’t cry
My eyes don’t cry no more
My heart don’t ache no more
My nights are not lonely no more
My tears don’t flow no more
My eyes don’t cry, my eyes don’t cry, my eyes don’t cry no more
ORDINARY PAIN
***************
When by the phone
In vain you sit
You very soon in your mind realize that it’s not just
An ordinary pain in your heart
When you by chance
Go knock on her door
Walkin’ away you’re convinced that it’s much more
Than just an ordinary pain in your heart
It’s more than just
An ordinary pain in your heart
Don’t fool yourself
But tell no one else
That it’s more than just
An ordinary pain
In your heart
When you catch up
But she says goodbye
Hold back your tears and before you start to cry
Say you feel unnecessary pain in your heart
Tell her you’re glad
It’s over in fact
Can she take with her the pain she brought you back
Takin that ordinary pain from your heart
It’s more than just
An ordinary pain from your heart
Don’t fool yourself
But tell no one else
That it’s more than just
An ordinary pain
In your heart
In your heart
In your heart
You’re just a masachistic fool
Because you knew my love was cruel
You never listened when they said
Don’t let that girl go to your head
But like a play boy you said no
or*di*nary pain
This little girl mind you will blow
or*di*nary pain
But then I blew you out the box
or*di*nary pain
When I put my stuff on key and lock
or*di*nary pain
It makes me feel kind of sick
or*di*nary pain
To know love put you in a trick
or*di*nary pain
I knew our love would have to end
or*di*nary pain
The day I made it with your friend
or*di*nary pain
Giving your love to one unreal
or*di*nary pain
Like a big fool I know you feel
or*di*nary pain
But in this lovie-dovie game
or*di*nary pain
With all its joy there must be pain
or*di*nary pain
But now the time has surely come
or*di*nary pain
This game don’t seem like so much fun
or*di*nary pain
You’re cryin big corcodile tears
or*di*nary pain
Don’t match the ones I’ve cried for years
or*di*nary pain
When I was home wainting for you
or*di*nary pain
You were out somewhere doing the do
or*di*nary pain
You know I’d really like to stay
or*di*nary pain
But like you did I’ve go to play
or*di*nary pain
You’re dumb to think I’d let you be
or*di*nary pain
Scott free without some pain from me
or*di*nary pain
I heard your song and took a chance
or*di*nary pain
But to your music I can’t dance
or*di*nary pain
Go tell your story ‘sob-sad’
or*di*nary pain
About you blowin what you had
or*di*nary pain
Since one ain’t good enough for you
or*di*nary pain
Then do yourself see how you do
or*di*nary pain
or*di*nary pain
or*di*nary pain
or*di*nary pain
or*di*nary pain
or*di*nary pain
