Oh Yeah! Lyrics – Bill Withers
Sometimes you stare and the look that's in your eyes
Says that you care and gives me butterflies
Oh yeah! What a pure delight
Oh yeah! I'm in love alright
Oh yeah! What a perfect night
Why don't we stay here together?
Sometimes it's there in the way you say hello
Sometimes the answer is yes when you say no
Oh yeah! What a pure delight
Oh yeah! I'm in love alright
Oh yeah! What a perfect night
Why don't we stay here together?
Why don't you stay forever in my life
Time for the shoes and rice
‘Cause I think you're very nice
And I want you in my life, oh baby!
Oh yeah! What a pure delight
Oh yeah! I'm in love alright
Oh yeah! What a perfect night
Why don't we stay here together?
Why don't you stay forever in the night
Says that you care and gives me butterflies
Oh yeah! What a pure delight
Oh yeah! I'm in love alright
Oh yeah! What a perfect night
Why don't we stay here together?
Sometimes it's there in the way you say hello
Sometimes the answer is yes when you say no
Oh yeah! What a pure delight
Oh yeah! I'm in love alright
Oh yeah! What a perfect night
Why don't we stay here together?
Why don't you stay forever in my life
Time for the shoes and rice
‘Cause I think you're very nice
And I want you in my life, oh baby!
Oh yeah! What a pure delight
Oh yeah! I'm in love alright
Oh yeah! What a perfect night
Why don't we stay here together?
Why don't you stay forever in the night
Something That Turns You On Lyrics – Bill Withers
I hope you find in me
Something that turns you on
A tie that binds with me
And holds us together from now on
Oh! I want to be what you need. Ow baby yeah!
When it gets down to love

When it gets down to love
Really want to be what you need
Wanna be the one that turns you on
Really want to be what you need
Wanna be the one that turns you on

Something that keeps us together
‘Til one of us is dead and gone

When it gets down to love
Really want to be what you need

Don't Make Me Wait Lyrics – Bill Withers
It's only ‘cause you're waiting
If it's ever in your mind
If it's ever meant to happen
If it's just a waste of time
If you think it might be wonderful
But you feel you have to fight
Is it gonna take a miracle
To make love to you tonight
Don't make me wait, take some time for love
Don't make me wait, take this moment in the night
Don't make me wait, take some time for love
Don't make me wait, let's make love tonight
If it's only feeling guilty
If it's just a case of fright
If you think it's something filthy
Something evil in the night
Don't make me wait, take some time for love
Don't make me wait, take this moment in the night
Don't make me wait, take some time for love
Don't make me wait, let's make love tonight
If it's love it's so sweet and gentle
When you're making love in the night
If it's love it's so very simple
Hold on! Hold on!
Don't make me wait, take some time for love
Don't make me wait, take this moment in the night
Don't make me wait, take some time for love
Don't make me wait, let's make love tonight
If it's ever in your mind
If it's ever meant to happen
If it's just a waste of time
If you think it might be wonderful
But you feel you have to fight
Is it gonna take a miracle
To make love to you tonight
Don't make me wait, take some time for love
Don't make me wait, take this moment in the night
Don't make me wait, take some time for love
Don't make me wait, let's make love tonight
If it's only feeling guilty
If it's just a case of fright
If you think it's something filthy
Something evil in the night
Don't make me wait, take some time for love
Don't make me wait, take this moment in the night
Don't make me wait, take some time for love
Don't make me wait, let's make love tonight
If it's love it's so sweet and gentle
When you're making love in the night
If it's love it's so very simple
Hold on! Hold on!
Don't make me wait, take some time for love
Don't make me wait, take this moment in the night
Don't make me wait, take some time for love
Don't make me wait, let's make love tonight
Heart In Your Life Lyrics – Bill Withers
There is only one love in your lifetime
There is only one lover can only do right
When they love you until the daylight
They put their heart on your life
There is only one love in your lifetime
Keeps on turning you on when you turn out the light
And they love you with all their might
They put their heart on your life
Put a little heart in your life oh
Put a little heart in your life
Put a little heart in your life
They put their heart in your life
Hold on! I'm in love and only love
What she can do tonight
Hold on! When the lover in your life
They put their heart in your life
There is only love in the nighttime
Keep on turning you on when you turn out the light
When they do unto you to do right
Put the heart on in your life
There is only one love in your lifetime
There is only one lover can only do right
When they love you until the daylight
They put their heart on your life
Put a little heart in your life oh
Put a little heart in your life
Put a little heart in your life
They put their heart in your life
There is only one lover can only do right
When they love you until the daylight
They put their heart on your life
There is only one love in your lifetime
Keeps on turning you on when you turn out the light
And they love you with all their might
They put their heart on your life
Put a little heart in your life oh
Put a little heart in your life
Put a little heart in your life
They put their heart in your life
Hold on! I'm in love and only love
What she can do tonight
Hold on! When the lover in your life
They put their heart in your life
There is only love in the nighttime
Keep on turning you on when you turn out the light
When they do unto you to do right
Put the heart on in your life
There is only one love in your lifetime
There is only one lover can only do right
When they love you until the daylight
They put their heart on your life
Put a little heart in your life oh
Put a little heart in your life
Put a little heart in your life
They put their heart in your life
Watching You Watching Me Lyrics – Bill Withers
Watching you watching me
It's so easy to see
That it's my loving you
That puts the starlight in your eyes
Watching me watching you
It's so obviously true
That it's your loving me
That makes my life a paradise
When lovers meet
And light a spark
Their eyes give the game away
Somehow it's a feeling you can never hide
No matter how hard you try
When lovers speak
It's from the heart
And all of the things they say
Are part of the magic and the mystery
You hear in a gentle sigh
Watching you watching me
Girl, ain't it easy to see?
That it's my loving you
That puts the starlight in your eyes
Watching me watching you
Girl, I believe that it's true
That it's your loving me
That makes my life a paradise
The times we had
The fun and games
The things that I can't forget
We share in those very special memories
All lovers do smile about
I'm so glad you feel the same
There's nothing to regret
It's free for the simple love is there for you
To bring all the feelings out
Watching you watching me
Girl, ain't it easy to see?
That it's my loving you
That puts the starlight in your eyes
Watching me watching you
Girl, I believe that it's true
That it's your loving me
That makes my life a paradise
There's a language
Spoken only by lovers
Words and phrases
That they make with their eyes
You might try it
But you'll never change things
No one comes…(?)
Let's celebrate what life's about
Let's sing out the melody
The words and the music to our song of love
Are sweeter than anything
'Cause if we wait
We might lose out
On things that were meant to be
With all of the secrets that the heart can hold
Left dangling on a string
Watching you watching me
Girl, ain't it easy to see?
That it's my loving you
That puts the starlight in your eyes
Watching me watching you
Girl, I believe you know that it's true
Sweet girl, that I love you
You make my life a paradise
[Repeat first choruses]
It's so easy to see

We Could Be Sweet Lovers Lyrics – Bill Withers
Sweet life, it just can't be paradise
But if you think it's alright
Ow baby, we could be sweet lovers in the night
I'd be faithful and I could treat you nice
Ow baby we could be sweet lovers in the night
If you think I might
be someone you could like
What if you were my lover?
[Chorus:]
I could spend my lifetime holding on to you, my lover
I could spend forever holding on to you
Spend my every nighttime holding on to you, my lover
‘Til the end of never holding on to you
Sweet life, just can't be paradise
But we can make it quite nice
Ow baby we could be sweet lovers in the night
If you think I might
Be someone you could like
What if you were my lover?
[Repeat Chorus]
But if you think it's alright
Ow baby, we could be sweet lovers in the night
I'd be faithful and I could treat you nice
Ow baby we could be sweet lovers in the night
If you think I might
be someone you could like
What if you were my lover?
[Chorus:]
I could spend my lifetime holding on to you, my lover
I could spend forever holding on to you
Spend my every nighttime holding on to you, my lover
‘Til the end of never holding on to you
Sweet life, just can't be paradise
But we can make it quite nice
Ow baby we could be sweet lovers in the night
If you think I might
Be someone you could like
What if you were my lover?

You Just Can't Smile It Away Lyrics – Bill Withers
You just can't smile it away
It's more than passion
Oh! It's love, and I've heard some people say
They've seen love move mountains
You just can't laugh it away
It's too deep inside your feelings
Oh! It's love not just some game you can play
For a laugh then go on your way
Let's sit and talk it over
And work it out
I love you so
Can't we just talk it over
And see what we can do?
Can't we just talk it over
And work it out
I love you so
Can't we just talk it over
And see what we can do?
You just can't pass it away
Like some silly fashion
Oh! It's love, and I've heard some people say
They've seen love move mountains
Oh! It's love, and I've heard some people say
They've seen love move mountains
It's more than passion
Oh! It's love, and I've heard some people say
They've seen love move mountains
You just can't laugh it away
It's too deep inside your feelings
Oh! It's love not just some game you can play
For a laugh then go on your way
Let's sit and talk it over
And work it out
I love you so
Can't we just talk it over
And see what we can do?
Can't we just talk it over
And work it out
I love you so
Can't we just talk it over
And see what we can do?
You just can't pass it away
Like some silly fashion
Oh! It's love, and I've heard some people say
They've seen love move mountains
Oh! It's love, and I've heard some people say
They've seen love move mountains
Steppin' Right Along Lyrics – Bill Withers
Steppin' right along
Like it ain't nothing, baby
Something just, something blew your mind
Something come along
To make you stronger, baby
But you know it got to take time
Talk a little deep
To make you wonder, baby
And it's not that same old line
Whoa, look out now
Something some time
Come along and blow your mind
Watch out, girl
Somebody hot (hot!)
Make you give up everything you got
Steppin' right along
Like it ain't nothing, baby
Something just, something just blew you mind
Something come along
That kick like thunder, baby
You know got to give it up for them
Right on time
'Would it be wise or weak?'
You wonder, baby
Goodbye Reason, Hello Rhyme
Look out, girl
Something some time
Come along and blow your mind
Watch out, girl
Somebody hot (hot!)
Make you give up everything you got
Steppin' right along
Like it ain't nothing, baby
Something come along
And just blew your mind
'Some kind of magic spell?'
You wonder, baby
Make a drink of muddy water
Taste like wine
And 'Would it be wise or weak?'
You wonder, baby
Goodbye Reason, Hello Rhyme
'Love made me do it!'
Something some time
Come along and blow your mind
Watch out, girl
Somebody hot (hot!)
Make you give up everything you got
Said I will follow…the Lord in Heaven
I wanna be…thy holding(?) angel
'Til the Kingdom come
Thy will be down
Down here on earth
Just like it is in Heaven
Give us this day
Our…daily bread
Give us our sins
We forgive our brothers
Lead us far away, every day,
From temptation
Heavenly Father
Deliver us from evil
Thine is the kingdom
And the Power
And the Glory
Forever!
Heavenly Father
Sweet Heavenly Father
Heavenly Father
Sweet sweet Heavenly Father
Sweat ol' Heavenly Father [x2]
Like it ain't nothing, baby

Talk a little deep
To make you wonder, baby
And it's not that same old line
Whoa, look out now
Something some time
Come along and blow your mind
Watch out, girl
Somebody hot (hot!)
Make you give up everything you got

You Try To Find A Love Lyrics – Bill Withers
Crazy hours, party nights
Lady power, hardly right
Oh! The showers cold and light
Hot! And lonely every night
You try to find a love
You keep holding on, wanting love
You try to find love
You keep holding on,
Just hanging out
Searching for love in the night
Searching for love in the night
Out and easy every night
How you see me is hardly right
A one and only, would be nice
Hot! And lonely every night
You try to find a love
You keep holding on, wanting love
You try to find love
You keep holding on,
Just hanging out
Searching for love in the night
Searching for love in the night
Lady power, hardly right
Oh! The showers cold and light
Hot! And lonely every night
You try to find a love
You keep holding on, wanting love
You try to find love
You keep holding on,
Just hanging out
Searching for love in the night
Searching for love in the night
Out and easy every night
How you see me is hardly right
A one and only, would be nice
Hot! And lonely every night
You try to find a love
You keep holding on, wanting love
You try to find love
You keep holding on,
Just hanging out
Searching for love in the night
Searching for love in the night
Whatever Happens Lyrics – Bill Withers
Whatever happens
We'll have some love along the way
But it ain't easy
We'll look for some words of love to say
And smile..mmmmm
It may happen anyway
And we'll kiss before we say 'goodnight'
And whatever happens
They're'll be some time along the way
When it ain't easy
It just can't be sunshine everyday
We'll smile…mmmmm
And be happy, anyway
And we'll kiss before we say 'goodnight'
I've got you in my life
Together we can reach the higher ground
We'll be alright
Just as long as you're around
Girl, I won't let you down
Whatever happens
There'll be some good times, and some bad
But it ain't easy
Let's just remember the good times that we had
And just smile…mmmm
And be happy, anyway
And we'll kiss before we say 'goodnight' [x2]
We'll have some love along the way
But it ain't easy
We'll look for some words of love to say
And smile..mmmmm
It may happen anyway
And we'll kiss before we say 'goodnight'
And whatever happens
They're'll be some time along the way
When it ain't easy
It just can't be sunshine everyday
We'll smile…mmmmm
And be happy, anyway
And we'll kiss before we say 'goodnight'
I've got you in my life
Together we can reach the higher ground
We'll be alright
Just as long as you're around
Girl, I won't let you down
Whatever happens
There'll be some good times, and some bad
But it ain't easy
Let's just remember the good times that we had
And just smile…mmmm
And be happy, anyway
And we'll kiss before we say 'goodnight' [x2]
All Because Of You Lyrics – Bill Withers
A sparkle in my eye
Satisfied
All because of you pretty one
A bubble in my desire
And I've suddenly become
High as birds that fly above the clouds that rain on you and me
Deep as words you never say out loud but whisper tenderly
La, la, la
A spark that lights my fire
Takes me high
All because of you pretty one
A bubble I can't deny
And I've suddenly become
High as birds that fly above the clouds that rain on you and me
Deep as words you never say out loud but whisper tenderly
A spark that lights my fire
Takes me high
All because of you pretty one
A bubble I can't deny
And I've suddenly become
High as birds that fly above the clouds that rain on you and me
Deep as words you never said out loud but whisper tenderly
Satisfied
All because of you pretty one
A bubble in my desire
And I've suddenly become
High as birds that fly above the clouds that rain on you and me
Deep as words you never say out loud but whisper tenderly
La, la, la
A spark that lights my fire
Takes me high
All because of you pretty one
A bubble I can't deny
And I've suddenly become
High as birds that fly above the clouds that rain on you and me
Deep as words you never say out loud but whisper tenderly
A spark that lights my fire
Takes me high
All because of you pretty one
A bubble I can't deny
And I've suddenly become
High as birds that fly above the clouds that rain on you and me
Deep as words you never said out loud but whisper tenderly
Dedicated To You My Love Lyrics – Bill Withers
Dated till each of us runs out of time
Dedicated to you my love
And if I could think of a piece of a rhyme
Dedicated to you my love
And if the way I speak my love seems silly of me
It's only cause you got me feeling good and happy
And I must say it's neat my love that it really can be
I reach for love, reach out for love, and you let me
And if I could find me a mountain to climb
Dedicate it to you my love
I'd swim me an ocean if I had a mind
Dedicate it to you my love
And if the way I speak my love seems silly of me
It's only cause you got me feeling good and happy
And I must say it's neat my love that it can really be
Reach for love, reach out for love, and you let me
And if I could find me a mountain to climb
Dedicate it to you my love
I'd swim me an ocean if I had a mind
Dedicate it to you my love
Thanks for the feeling
Hope will last with you
Thanks for the time
That I've had in the past with you
Dedicated to you my love
And if I could think of a piece of a rhyme
Dedicated to you my love
And if the way I speak my love seems silly of me
It's only cause you got me feeling good and happy
And I must say it's neat my love that it really can be
I reach for love, reach out for love, and you let me
And if I could find me a mountain to climb
Dedicate it to you my love
I'd swim me an ocean if I had a mind
Dedicate it to you my love
And if the way I speak my love seems silly of me
It's only cause you got me feeling good and happy
And I must say it's neat my love that it can really be
Reach for love, reach out for love, and you let me
And if I could find me a mountain to climb
Dedicate it to you my love
I'd swim me an ocean if I had a mind
Dedicate it to you my love
Thanks for the feeling
Hope will last with you
Thanks for the time
That I've had in the past with you
Look To Each Other For Love Lyrics – Bill Withers
Love can make us happy
Open up your heart everyone
And the world we all share down here
Is bound to make us happy
Let's look to each other for love
Look on the brighter side of life

Look to one another for love
Look on the lighter side of life
And the way that we are

To show that we need each other

Don't you know that love (love is feeling)
Say that love (love is caring)
Love is sharing a smile (love is needing)
Every once in a while (love is sharing)
Don't you know that love (love is feeling)
Don't you want to feel it
Feel it coming down all around
Tell me! Wouldn't you like to feel it, feel it
Feel it coming down all around
(Love is caring) Love is lending a hand
(Love is needing) And helping your fellow man
(Love is sharing) OOh
Don't you know that love (love is feeling)
Love (love is caring)
Love (love is needing)
Preacher say love (love is sharing)
Jesus proved that love (love is feeling)
Sing love (love is caring)
Sing love (love is needing)
Sing love (love is sharing)
People singing love (love is feeling)
Don't you want to feel it
Feel it coming down all around
Tell me! Wouldn't you like to feel it, feel it
Feel it coming down all around
Memories Are That Way Lyrics – Bill Withers
Memories take you back
To the good times
When it's over
And the sad times disappear
Memories are that way, memories are that way
Memories tell you that
All the best times
In your lifetime
Are the times of yesteryear
Memories are that way, memories are that way
Memories are that way
Memories are the words to love songs
Sung throughout the years
Memories of the herds of love songs
Sung through smiles and tears
Memories take you back
To the lean times
In between times
And the times when you knew fear
Memories are that way, memories are that way
To the good times
When it's over
And the sad times disappear
Memories are that way, memories are that way
Memories tell you that
All the best times
In your lifetime
Are the times of yesteryear
Memories are that way, memories are that way
Memories are that way
Memories are the words to love songs
Sung throughout the years
Memories of the herds of love songs
Sung through smiles and tears
Memories take you back
To the lean times
In between times
And the times when you knew fear
Memories are that way, memories are that way
You've Got The Stuff Lyrics – Bill Withers
It's got something to do with the weather
That I'm feeling the way that I do
And It's got something to do with the time of my life
it's got something to do with you
It's got something to do with the feeling
That we get when we do what we do
And it's got something to do with your oop-shoo-be-do
And it's got something to do with you
You've got the stuff to pick me up
You've got the stuff to pick me up
You got the stuff, can't get enough
You've got the stuff to pick me up
Deep inside I don't want to hide my feelings
And I just gotta tell you that I love you
Got that little movement in your hip (so in love with you)
Got that ‘lil pucker in your lip (don't know what to do)
Get that 'lil twinkle in your eye (that's the reason why)
Gonna find it hard to pass you by
It's got something to do with being peaceful
No regrets, just a memory or two
And it's got something to do with your oop-shoo-be-do
And it's got something to do with you
You've got the stuff to pick me up
You've got the stuff to pick me up
You got the stuff, can't get enough
You've got the stuff to pick me up
That I'm feeling the way that I do
And It's got something to do with the time of my life
it's got something to do with you
It's got something to do with the feeling
That we get when we do what we do
And it's got something to do with your oop-shoo-be-do
And it's got something to do with you
You've got the stuff to pick me up
You've got the stuff to pick me up
You got the stuff, can't get enough
You've got the stuff to pick me up
Deep inside I don't want to hide my feelings
And I just gotta tell you that I love you
Got that little movement in your hip (so in love with you)
Got that ‘lil pucker in your lip (don't know what to do)
Get that 'lil twinkle in your eye (that's the reason why)
Gonna find it hard to pass you by
It's got something to do with being peaceful
No regrets, just a memory or two
And it's got something to do with your oop-shoo-be-do
And it's got something to do with you
You've got the stuff to pick me up
You've got the stuff to pick me up
You got the stuff, can't get enough
You've got the stuff to pick me up
Love Lyrics – Bill Withers
Love, everybody needs you sometimes
Why do I have to call on you
When I'm only feeling sad and lonely
Let's just love awhile and smile
Love, can we just be happy one time
Why must it always end with you and I
Only feeling sad and lonely
Let's just love awhile and smile
Love, help me shake it
Can we make it right (love can make it right)
We can make it (love can make it right)
Help me make it right (love can make it right)
We can make it (love can make it right)
If we make it right
Love, everybody needs but one time
Try not to make it end with you and I
Only feeling sad and lonely
Let's just love awhile and smile
Love, help me shake it
Can we make it right (love can make it right)
We can make it (love can make it right)
Help me make it right (love can make it right)
We can make it (love can make it right)
If we make it right
Why do I have to call on you
When I'm only feeling sad and lonely
Let's just love awhile and smile
Love, can we just be happy one time
Why must it always end with you and I
Only feeling sad and lonely
Let's just love awhile and smile
Love, help me shake it
Can we make it right (love can make it right)
We can make it (love can make it right)
Help me make it right (love can make it right)
We can make it (love can make it right)
If we make it right
Love, everybody needs but one time
Try not to make it end with you and I
Only feeling sad and lonely
Let's just love awhile and smile
Love, help me shake it
Can we make it right (love can make it right)
We can make it (love can make it right)
Help me make it right (love can make it right)
We can make it (love can make it right)
If we make it right
Lovely Day Lyrics – Bill Withers
When I wake up in the morning, love
And the sunlight hurts my eyes
And something without warning, love
Bears heavy on my mind
Then I look at you
And the world's alright with me
Just one look at you
And I know it's gonna be
A lovely day
... lovely day, lovely day, lovely day ...
When the day that lies ahead of me
Seems impossible to face
When someone else instead of me
Always seems to know the way
Then I look at you
And the world's alright with me
Just one look at you
And I know it's gonna be
A lovely day.....
When the day that lies ahead of me
Seems impossible to face
When someone else instead of me
Always seems to know the way
Then I look at you
And the world's alright with me
Just one look at you
And I know it's gonna be
A lovely day......
And the sunlight hurts my eyes
And something without warning, love
Bears heavy on my mind
Then I look at you
And the world's alright with me
Just one look at you
And I know it's gonna be
A lovely day
... lovely day, lovely day, lovely day ...
When the day that lies ahead of me
Seems impossible to face
When someone else instead of me
Always seems to know the way
Then I look at you
And the world's alright with me
Just one look at you
And I know it's gonna be
A lovely day.....
When the day that lies ahead of me
Seems impossible to face
When someone else instead of me
Always seems to know the way
Then I look at you
And the world's alright with me
Just one look at you
And I know it's gonna be
A lovely day......
I Want To Spend The Night Lyrics – Bill Withers
I want to spend the night with you forever
Every time we wind up spending the night together
Do you ever feel it
I want to share my life with you forever
Every time we wind up sharing a night together
Do you ever feel it
When I stay away from you I never get to sleep
I try to hug my pillow and pretend that you're with me
But I can't feel a thing
When we are together it's right there for me to see
I can't keep looking at loneliness and try to call it freedom
Do you ever feel it
I want to spend the night with you, girl, forever
Every time we wind up spending the night together
Do you ever feel it
Do you ever want to spend the night
Do you ever want to spend the night
Do you ever want to spend the night
Do you ever want to spend the night
Do you ever want to spend the night
Every time we wind up spending the night together
Do you ever feel it
I want to share my life with you forever
Every time we wind up sharing a night together
Do you ever feel it
When I stay away from you I never get to sleep
I try to hug my pillow and pretend that you're with me
But I can't feel a thing
When we are together it's right there for me to see
I can't keep looking at loneliness and try to call it freedom
Do you ever feel it
I want to spend the night with you, girl, forever
Every time we wind up spending the night together
Do you ever feel it
Do you ever want to spend the night
Do you ever want to spend the night
Do you ever want to spend the night
Do you ever want to spend the night
Do you ever want to spend the night
Lovely Night For Dancing Lyrics – Bill Withers
It's a lovely night for dancing
And I get this feeling from a love song
And oh, from sunset to sunrise
You know the feelin' from the music turns me on
And oh, from the twilight to the blue skies
You know I feel like dancin' all night long
Such a lovely night for dancing
And I get this weakness from a love song
And oh, from sunset to sunrise
No more weakness for the music turns me on
And oh, from the twilight to the blue skies,
You know I feel like dancin' all night long
Get up and dance with me
Get up and dance with me
Get up and dance with me
Get up and dance with me
And I get this feeling from a love song
And oh, from sunset to sunrise
You know the feelin' from the music turns me on
And oh, from the twilight to the blue skies
You know I feel like dancin' all night long
Such a lovely night for dancing
And I get this weakness from a love song
And oh, from sunset to sunrise
No more weakness for the music turns me on
And oh, from the twilight to the blue skies,
You know I feel like dancin' all night long
Get up and dance with me
Get up and dance with me
Get up and dance with me
Get up and dance with me

Wintertime Lyrics – Bill Withers
In the wintertime the grass is brown and the sky is gray, the sky is gray
Ah, hah, but that don't mean little brother that you have to feel the same way
Look the sky is cryin' see the tear rollin' down on the ground, down on the ground
Ah, hah but that don't mean little brother that your life can't turn around
Cover up your body but the cold steady rubbin' on your skin, rubbin' on your skin
Ah, hah, you stay alive little brother from the warm fire within
This little brother is what the seasons are tryin' to say
The snow will surely be melted when the sun punches in for the day
See the cold steady rubbin', rubbin' on your skin rubbin' ‘round your skin
Ah hah you're stayin' alive, little brother from the warm fire within
This little brother is what the seasons are tryin' to say
The snow will surely be melted when the sun punches in for the day
See the cold steady rubbin', rubbin' on your skin rubbin' ‘round your skin
Ah hah you're stayin' alive, little brother from the warm fire within
Ah, hah, but that don't mean little brother that you have to feel the same way
Look the sky is cryin' see the tear rollin' down on the ground, down on the ground
Ah, hah but that don't mean little brother that your life can't turn around
Cover up your body but the cold steady rubbin' on your skin, rubbin' on your skin
Ah, hah, you stay alive little brother from the warm fire within
This little brother is what the seasons are tryin' to say
The snow will surely be melted when the sun punches in for the day
See the cold steady rubbin', rubbin' on your skin rubbin' ‘round your skin
Ah hah you're stayin' alive, little brother from the warm fire within
This little brother is what the seasons are tryin' to say
The snow will surely be melted when the sun punches in for the day
See the cold steady rubbin', rubbin' on your skin rubbin' ‘round your skin
Ah hah you're stayin' alive, little brother from the warm fire within
Let Me Be The One You Need Lyrics – Bill Withers
May not know enough about you, babe
That can only come in time
Only know enough to make you stay
On my mind
Though I met you only yesterday
And only for a moment then
I knew I couldn't let you get away
I just can see you, girl
I can be the one you love
Let me be the one you need
Take a look into your heart
Try to find a place for me
Can't say I can't live without you, babe
That's just some worn out loser's line
May not know enough about you, babe
But you stay on my mind
I can be the one you love
Let me be the one you need
Take a look into your heart
Try to find a place for me
[x4]
That can only come in time
Only know enough to make you stay
On my mind
Though I met you only yesterday
And only for a moment then
I knew I couldn't let you get away
I just can see you, girl
I can be the one you love
Let me be the one you need
Take a look into your heart
Try to find a place for me
Can't say I can't live without you, babe
That's just some worn out loser's line
May not know enough about you, babe
But you stay on my mind
I can be the one you love
Let me be the one you need
Take a look into your heart
Try to find a place for me

She Wants To (Get On Down) Lyrics – Bill Withers
She spends the daytime being a lady
But when the nighttime rolls around
She's got some games to play
She wants to get on down
Get down, down
Get down, down
Get down, down, down, down, down
Don't fall in love, love;
Nothin' to say
Won't let your story get off the ground
Don't let your feelin's get in the way
She wants to get on down
Get down, down
Get down, down
Get down, down, down, down, down
Never could stand to be tied to a lover too long
Hurry to play but plan before the day to be gone
Gone, gone, gone, gone
Down, get down
Down, get down,
Down, get down
Down, get down, down, down, down, down
Don't fall in love, love;
Nothin' to say
Won't let your story get off the ground
Don't let your feelin's get in the way
She wants to get on down
But when the nighttime rolls around
She's got some games to play
She wants to get on down
Get down, down
Get down, down
Get down, down, down, down, down
Don't fall in love, love;
Nothin' to say
Won't let your story get off the ground
Don't let your feelin's get in the way
She wants to get on down
Get down, down
Get down, down
Get down, down, down, down, down
Never could stand to be tied to a lover too long
Hurry to play but plan before the day to be gone
Gone, gone, gone, gone
Down, get down
Down, get down,
Down, get down
Down, get down, down, down, down, down
Don't fall in love, love;
Nothin' to say
Won't let your story get off the ground
Don't let your feelin's get in the way
She wants to get on down
It Ain't Because Of Me Baby Lyrics – Bill Withers
It ain't because of me, baby
That you're bein' alone
Nobody's fault but your own
If you've been lonely
Because if only, reach out for me
You'll reach out for me, baby
I'm as close as your phone
Ever since you've been gone
I've been home
And home ain't home
Without that feelin' without that smile
Without your love baby it's all not worthwhile
And I need that feelin' I need that smile
To make my life worth livin
Oh sweet honey chile
Sweet, sweet honey chile
Let's get together
Lets get together
That you're bein' alone
Nobody's fault but your own
If you've been lonely
Because if only, reach out for me
You'll reach out for me, baby
I'm as close as your phone
Ever since you've been gone
I've been home
And home ain't home
Without that feelin' without that smile
Without your love baby it's all not worthwhile
And I need that feelin' I need that smile
To make my life worth livin
Oh sweet honey chile
Sweet, sweet honey chile
Let's get together
Lets get together
Tender Things Lyrics – Bill Withers
Sweet and tender things
Are so much nicer than silly games
Softness
Makes it easier to smile
It's better to remember things
That make the sun shine in your memory
There's clouds enough for you to see
Smile for me and take a look around
And you know that you're in love when things
Are better than you thought they'd ever be
Won't you smile for me
I like what's going down
[hum interlude]
And you know that you're in love when things
Are better than you thought they'd ever be
Make a pretty smile for me
I like what's going down (since you've been around)
Sweet and tender things
Makes you feel better than playing games
Softness
Makes it easier to smile
You're in love when things
Are better than you thought they'd ever be
Smile for me
I sure do like what's going down (since you've been around)
Are so much nicer than silly games
Softness
Makes it easier to smile
It's better to remember things
That make the sun shine in your memory
There's clouds enough for you to see
Smile for me and take a look around
And you know that you're in love when things
Are better than you thought they'd ever be
Won't you smile for me
I like what's going down
[hum interlude]
And you know that you're in love when things
Are better than you thought they'd ever be
Make a pretty smile for me
I like what's going down (since you've been around)
Sweet and tender things
Makes you feel better than playing games
Softness
Makes it easier to smile
You're in love when things
Are better than you thought they'd ever be
Smile for me
I sure do like what's going down (since you've been around)
Rosie Lyrics – Bill Withers
I...smile...when Rosie comes to see me
And I'm sad when Rosie goes away
Cuz, Rosie brings the sunshine
I...smile...cuz Rosie let's me be me
Love grows with Rosie every day
Cuz Rosie brings the sunshine
And I'm in love with Rosie
Cuz Rosie treats me good
Making people smile that's Roses art

And I'm sad when Rosie goes away
Cuz Rosie brings the sunshine.

Naked And Warm Lyrics – Bill Withers
Heaven lies here asleep and sweet
Naked and warm (said I feel naked and warm)
Heaven lies here with me
and I feel naked and warm
Wise men follow love and call it feelin'
But I sleep with love and call it heaven
Heaven makes love to me and I feel
Naked and warm (said I feel naked and warm)
And when I have a need for softness
I pull an angel to my breast and I call out
Heaven! Oh! Heaven!
Naked and warm (said I feel naked and warm)
Heaven lies here with me
and I feel naked and warm
Wise men follow love and call it feelin'
But I sleep with love and call it heaven
Heaven makes love to me and I feel
Naked and warm (said I feel naked and warm)
And when I have a need for softness
I pull an angel to my breast and I call out
Heaven! Oh! Heaven!
Where You Are Lyrics – Bill Withers
Ever since you came into my life
You have been so wonderful to me
That's why where you are is where I want to be
Life is so much easier now
Since you are sharing it with me
That's why where you are is where I want to be
And the sun shines wherever you are
And I must say that I don't blame the sun
It's a good day wherever you are
And a good night when the day is done
Ever since you came in my life
The world's a lovely place to be
That's why where you are is where I want to be
That's why where you are is where I want to be
That's why where you are is where I want to be
You have been so wonderful to me
That's why where you are is where I want to be
Life is so much easier now
Since you are sharing it with me
That's why where you are is where I want to be
And the sun shines wherever you are
And I must say that I don't blame the sun
It's a good day wherever you are
And a good night when the day is done
Ever since you came in my life
The world's a lovely place to be
That's why where you are is where I want to be
That's why where you are is where I want to be
That's why where you are is where I want to be

Dreams Lyrics – Bill Withers
Staring at shadows
Calling them faces
Characters in the stories in your mind
They only live in your imagination
And dreams, I say dreams
Are good as the real thing sometimes
Take a look at your hero
Try changing places
You might discover that you're two of a kind
Think of your “hoss” coming in at the races
And dreams I say dreams
Are as good as the real thing sometimes
Calling them faces
Characters in the stories in your mind
They only live in your imagination
And dreams, I say dreams
Are good as the real thing sometimes
Take a look at your hero
Try changing places
You might discover that you're two of a kind
Think of your “hoss” coming in at the races
And dreams I say dreams
Are as good as the real thing sometimes
If I Didn't Mean You Well Lyrics – Bill Withers
If I didn't mean you well
I'd go and find another place to play
I'd entertain myself a better way
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
If I didn't mean you well
I'm aware you just can't tell
If people really mean the things they say
But I've been lied to, too much in my day
To play games that way
If I didn't mean you well
b
I'd go and find another place to play

But I've been lied to, too much in my day
To play games that way

City Of The Angels Lyrics – Bill Withers
City of the angels spread your wings for me
I've been other places lookin for my dream
Eastern cities move to fast
Southern ones to slow
I can't go back to my past
And I need someplace to grow
City of the Angels
Clear your cloudy skies for me
I heard you got some places that I oughta see
Heard you got a disneyland not to far away
When it rains I understand the skies are clear all day
LA, LA, find a place for me
Gimme all your spaces please
It's where I wanna be
City of the Angels spread your wings for me
I heard you got some places an old man like me should see
Heard 'bout your disneyland not to far away from town
When it rains I understand the skies are clear all day
LA, LA, find a place for me
Gimme all your spaces please
It's where I wanna be
I heard you got a disneyland not to far away
And when it rains I understand the skies are clear all day
LA, LA, find a place for me
Gimme all your spaces please
It's where I wanna be
I've been other places lookin for my dream
Eastern cities move to fast
Southern ones to slow
I can't go back to my past
And I need someplace to grow
City of the Angels
Clear your cloudy skies for me
I heard you got some places that I oughta see
Heard you got a disneyland not to far away
When it rains I understand the skies are clear all day
LA, LA, find a place for me
Gimme all your spaces please
It's where I wanna be
City of the Angels spread your wings for me
I heard you got some places an old man like me should see
Heard 'bout your disneyland not to far away from town
When it rains I understand the skies are clear all day
LA, LA, find a place for me
Gimme all your spaces please
It's where I wanna be
I heard you got a disneyland not to far away
And when it rains I understand the skies are clear all day
LA, LA, find a place for me
Gimme all your spaces please
It's where I wanna be
My Imagination Lyrics – Bill Withers
When you appeared in my imagination
I had no idea that you'd ever be real
Now you're my life, not just some fascination
And I love you now that you're here
Now that you are real not my imagination
But someone to love and I do love you dear
Long before love you were here in my memories
And I love you now that you're here
And now my dream talks to me
And fixes my coffee in the morning
And rubs my back when I'm weary
Thank you dear
And I love you now you're here
Now my dream talks to me
Fixes my coffee in the morning
And rubs my back when I'm weary
Thank you dear
And I love you now that you're here
Now that you are real not in my imagination
But someone to love and I do love you dear
Long before love you were here in my memories
And I love you now that you're here
And I love you now that you're here
I had no idea that you'd ever be real
Now you're my life, not just some fascination
And I love you now that you're here
Now that you are real not my imagination
But someone to love and I do love you dear
Long before love you were here in my memories
And I love you now that you're here
And now my dream talks to me
And fixes my coffee in the morning
And rubs my back when I'm weary
Thank you dear
And I love you now you're here
Now my dream talks to me
Fixes my coffee in the morning
And rubs my back when I'm weary
Thank you dear
And I love you now that you're here
Now that you are real not in my imagination
But someone to love and I do love you dear
Long before love you were here in my memories
And I love you now that you're here
And I love you now that you're here
Make Love To Your Mind Lyrics – Bill Withers
I love the story in your love song
Buildin' them castles in your mind
You come down here lookin' for a feelin'
Someday I know you're gonna find
I wanna lay down now beside you
But first we ought to take some time
Before I make love to your body
I wanna make love to your mind
I wanna feel good just like you do
I haven't love in quite some time
I have some phases that I've been through
Where I've just loved and left behind
I'm just too tired of feeling guilty
I don't wanna be unkind
But before I make love to your body
I wanna make love to your mind
Buildin' them castles in your mind
You come down here lookin' for a feelin'
Someday I know you're gonna find
I wanna lay down now beside you
But first we ought to take some time
Before I make love to your body
I wanna make love to your mind
I wanna feel good just like you do
I haven't love in quite some time
I have some phases that I've been through
Where I've just loved and left behind
I'm just too tired of feeling guilty
I don't wanna be unkind
But before I make love to your body
I wanna make love to your mind
I Love You Dawn Lyrics – Bill Withers
And I've sat in the sunshine in summers of sadness
and lived through the winter when lonely was here
And I've gone throught the motions of feeling for fear
that I never would find you my dear
And I'm thankful to whoever made it all possible for me to be with you while I lived
And spare you the grief if I passed on before you and i don't think I'd live if you died before me.
And I hope that the smell of these roses will follow you on in the time when the roses are gone...
I love you Dawn...
and lived through the winter when lonely was here
And I've gone throught the motions of feeling for fear
that I never would find you my dear
And I'm thankful to whoever made it all possible for me to be with you while I lived
And spare you the grief if I passed on before you and i don't think I'd live if you died before me.
And I hope that the smell of these roses will follow you on in the time when the roses are gone...
I love you Dawn...
Sometimes A Song Lyrics – Bill Withers
Sometimes a song is funky
Cause you feel that way
A song might be easy and melancholy on another day
Sometimes a song gets mean and evil cause it ain't goin' right
Sometimes a song just try to get nervous cause you might be uptight
Sometimes a song is tender
Sometimes a song is sad
Maybe that evening that you wrote this song that's all the feeling you had
Sometimes a song just feels real good and lays right there in the groove
Sometimes a song might make you just wanna get up and move
Sometimes a song is somethin'
That you never forget
But you keep on thinking that you ain't wrote the song yet
[Ad lib etc]

Paint Your Pretty Picture Lyrics – Bill Withers
I will lay around sometimes and show some sadness,
For people whom I've known that now are gone,
And, I will cry to show you, try to show you, when I'm happy
And, when things are going wrong.
I will try my best to be there when you need me,
And give you strength when you need someone that's strong,
And I'll sit and cry with you, my dear, if need be,
And, I'll PAINT YOUR PRETTY PICTURE with a song.
I will PAINT YOUR PRETTY PICTURE with a song,
I will PAINT YOUR PRETTY PICTURE with a song,
Tell you tales of life as I see it,
And I'll PAINT YOUR PRETTY PICTURE with a song.
(I said) I'm gonna try my best to be there when you need me,
And I'm gonna give you strength when you need someone strong,
And I'll sit cry with you my dear, if need be,
And, I'll PAINT YOUR PRETTY PICTURE with a song
(I said) I'm gonna PAINT YOUR PRETTY PICTURE with a song,
I am gonna PAINT YOUR PRETTY PICTURE with a song,
Tell you tales of life as I see it,
And I'll PAINT YOUR PRETTY PICTURE with a song.

I am gonna paint you babe, PAINT YOUR PRETTY PICTURE with a song,
Tell you tales of life as I see it,
And I'll paint your pretty picture with a song, I'll paint your pretty picture,
I'll PAINT YOUR PRETTY PICTURE with a song.

Sweet things to smell

I wish you well
Family Table Lyrics – Bill Withers
I will follow my dreams wherever
They take me
I will stand upon the mountain and look down upon the seashores
But I'll always remember
The family table
If I don't ever go there anymore
I will stand up when it seems
That my troubles might break me
I will listen even though I know I've
Heard it all before
But I'll always remember
The family table
If I don't ever go there anymore
They take me
I will stand upon the mountain and look down upon the seashores
But I'll always remember
The family table
If I don't ever go there anymore
I will stand up when it seems
That my troubles might break me
I will listen even though I know I've
Heard it all before
But I'll always remember
The family table
If I don't ever go there anymore
The Best You Can Lyrics – Bill Withers
Looking at what I see
What does living mean to me
All that I can ever be is just a man
And the most you can ever do is the best you can
Riding on the world go round
Being me and a what I am
What I am, I'm just a man
And the most you can ever do is the best you can
And what I've found is mostly worth it all
The wisdom of the future is the past
In city brouges and wise old southern drawls
The words that say the most say things that last
Riding on the world go round
Being me and a what I am
And what I am, I'm just a man
And the most you can ever do is the best you can
And the most you can ever do is the best you can
And the most you can ever do is the best you can
What does living mean to me
All that I can ever be is just a man
And the most you can ever do is the best you can
Riding on the world go round
Being me and a what I am
What I am, I'm just a man
And the most you can ever do is the best you can
And what I've found is mostly worth it all
The wisdom of the future is the past
In city brouges and wise old southern drawls
The words that say the most say things that last
Riding on the world go round
Being me and a what I am
And what I am, I'm just a man
And the most you can ever do is the best you can
And the most you can ever do is the best you can
And the most you can ever do is the best you can
Hello Like Before Lyrics – Bill Withers
Hello like before
I'd never come here
If I'd known that you were here
I must admit though
That's it's nice to see you, dear
You look like you've been doing well
Hello like before
I hope we've grown
'Cause we were only children then
For laughs I guess we both can say
'I knew YOU when'
But then again, that's kiss and tell
Hello like before
I guess it's different
'Cause we know each other now
I guess I've always known
We'd meet again somehow
So THEN it might as well be now
I'd never come here
If I'd known that you were here
I must admit though
That's it's nice to see you, dear
You look like you've been doing well
Hello like before
I hope we've grown
'Cause we were only children then
For laughs I guess we both can say
'I knew YOU when'
But then again, that's kiss and tell
Hello like before
I guess it's different
'Cause we know each other now
I guess I've always known
We'd meet again somehow
So THEN it might as well be now
Don't You Want To Stay? Lyrics – Bill Withers
Busy hanging curtains
Children in the way
Woh! That's what the future holds with me
Don't you want to stay?
Better talk to Billy
His doggie died today
Woh! That's what the future holds with me
Don't you want to stay?
Don't you want to stay?
Woh! Don't you want to stay?
That's what the future holds with me
Don't you want to stay?
Sundays in the meadow
see the children play
Woh! That's what the future holds with me
Don't you want to stay?
Don't you want to stay?
Woh! Don't you want to stay?
That's what the future holds with me
Don't you want to stay?
Children in the way
Woh! That's what the future holds with me
Don't you want to stay?
Better talk to Billy
His doggie died today
Woh! That's what the future holds with me
Don't you want to stay?
Don't you want to stay?
Woh! Don't you want to stay?
That's what the future holds with me
Don't you want to stay?
Sundays in the meadow
see the children play
Woh! That's what the future holds with me
Don't you want to stay?
Don't you want to stay?
Woh! Don't you want to stay?
That's what the future holds with me
Don't you want to stay?
She's Lonely Lyrics – Bill Withers
She's a different kind of lady
She's not often understood
She's a doin' kind of lady
And what she's doin' does some good
But she lonely

Free and easy kind of lady
And the books she reads are good
Let me be me kind of lady
And she's being what she should
But she lonely
She lonely
Pretty little girl is lonely
She lonely
Yeah, pretty little girl is lonely
It's a well kept secret
Pretty little girl is lonely

She's a different kind of lady
She's not often understood
She's a doin' kind of lady
And what she's doin' does some good
But she lonely

She's not often understood
She's a doin' kind of lady
And what she's doin' does some good
But she lonely

Stories Lyrics – Bill Withers
Who will buy a glad story
That a young man has to tell?
Come into my house of glory
And I will treat you well.
Who will buy a sad story
That a widow has to tell?
Come into my house of lonely
And I will treat you well.
Young and old, we all have stories
That we all must try to sell
Tales of how you get to heaven
And how we been through hell
Who will buy a perfumed story
That a young girl has to tell?
Sleep with me on satin pillows
And I will treat you well.
That a young man has to tell?
Come into my house of glory
And I will treat you well.
Who will buy a sad story
That a widow has to tell?
Come into my house of lonely
And I will treat you well.
Young and old, we all have stories
That we all must try to sell
Tales of how you get to heaven
And how we been through hell
Who will buy a perfumed story
That a young girl has to tell?
Sleep with me on satin pillows
And I will treat you well.
Make A Smile For Me Lyrics – Bill Withers
Make a smile for me
Lately I've been so lonely
And a smile from you
Might make these blues go away
Stay awhile with me
Can't you tell I've been lonely
And a smile from you
Might make it a nicer day
Close your eyes and dream of a sunny place
Watch the world light up when you smile
Stay with me and smile at me, sunny face
Chase the clouds away with your smile
Close your eyes and dream of a sunny place
Watch the world light up when you smile
Stay with me and smile at me, sunny face
Chase the clouds away with your smile
Lately I've been so lonely
And a smile from you
Might make these blues go away
Stay awhile with me
Can't you tell I've been lonely
And a smile from you
Might make it a nicer day
Close your eyes and dream of a sunny place
Watch the world light up when you smile
Stay with me and smile at me, sunny face
Chase the clouds away with your smile
Close your eyes and dream of a sunny place
Watch the world light up when you smile
Stay with me and smile at me, sunny face
Chase the clouds away with your smile
The Same Love That Made Me Laugh Lyrics – Bill Withers
Your love is like a a chunk of gold
Hard to gain, and hard to hold
Like a rose that's soft to touch
Love has gone, and it hurts so much
Well and Why…
Must the same love that made me laugh
Make me cry?
Well now you think of love as sitting on a mountain
Think of it as being a great big rock
Won't you think before you started to roll it down
Because once you start it, you can't make it stop
I've given all I have to give
And if you don't want me
I don't want to live
Well and Why…
Must the same love that made me laugh…
Why you wanna make me cry?
Why you wanna make me cry?
Why you wanna make me cry?
Why you wanna make me cry?
Why you wanna make me cry?
Why you wanna make me lay in my pillow
Just cryin' like a weeping willow
Why you wanna make me cry?
Why you wanna make me cry?
Why you wanna make me cry?
Why you wanna make me cry?
Why you wanna make me mess in my pillow
I'm just cryin' like a weeping willow
Why you wanna make me cry?
Why you wanna make me cry?
Why you wanna make me cry?
Hard to gain, and hard to hold
Like a rose that's soft to touch
Love has gone, and it hurts so much
Well and Why…
Must the same love that made me laugh
Make me cry?
Well now you think of love as sitting on a mountain
Think of it as being a great big rock
Won't you think before you started to roll it down
Because once you start it, you can't make it stop
I've given all I have to give
And if you don't want me
I don't want to live
Well and Why…
Must the same love that made me laugh…
Why you wanna make me cry?
Why you wanna make me cry?
Why you wanna make me cry?
Why you wanna make me cry?
Why you wanna make me cry?
Why you wanna make me lay in my pillow
Just cryin' like a weeping willow
Why you wanna make me cry?
Why you wanna make me cry?
Why you wanna make me cry?
Why you wanna make me cry?
Why you wanna make me mess in my pillow
I'm just cryin' like a weeping willow
Why you wanna make me cry?
Why you wanna make me cry?
Why you wanna make me cry?
Railroad Man Lyrics – Bill Withers
Ad Lib
I was a little boy
Back in West Virginia
We lived very close to a railroad track
And I remember I used to dream about them trains
And where they might go
And the people that worked on the trains
And the train made music
It made you feel good
I can remember sometimes
I could just stand off all by myself
And just get funky list'nin' to the train
And I used to pick up a handful of gravels
And throw ‘em down on the ground for ties
Yeah and I'd make up songs
I'd sing
He was a railroad man
He was a railroad man
He was a railroad man
‘Til he stepped in front of the railroad train.
He rode across the plains
He rode on a fruit freight train
The hauled bananas to Savannah
And wore bandannas made in Old Japan.
He was a railroad man
He was a railroad man
He was a railroad man
‘Til he stepped in front of the railroad train.
He used to change his name
To every place he came
His name was Tex when he's in Texas
And Bangor when he went to Maine.
He was a railroad man
He was a railroad man
He was a railroad man
‘Til he stepped in front of the railroad train.
It's all right
Say you know it's all right
If you've ever been downtown
You know what I'm talkin' ‘bout
I was a little boy
Back in West Virginia
We lived very close to a railroad track
And I remember I used to dream about them trains
And where they might go
And the people that worked on the trains
And the train made music
It made you feel good
I can remember sometimes
I could just stand off all by myself
And just get funky list'nin' to the train
And I used to pick up a handful of gravels
And throw ‘em down on the ground for ties
Yeah and I'd make up songs
I'd sing
He was a railroad man
He was a railroad man
He was a railroad man
‘Til he stepped in front of the railroad train.
He rode across the plains
He rode on a fruit freight train
The hauled bananas to Savannah
And wore bandannas made in Old Japan.
He was a railroad man
He was a railroad man
He was a railroad man
‘Til he stepped in front of the railroad train.
He used to change his name
To every place he came
His name was Tex when he's in Texas
And Bangor when he went to Maine.
He was a railroad man
He was a railroad man
He was a railroad man
‘Til he stepped in front of the railroad train.
It's all right
Say you know it's all right
If you've ever been downtown
You know what I'm talkin' ‘bout
Ruby Lee Lyrics – Bill Withers
Staring at shadows on the wall
Wish I knew of someone I could call
Someone who might understand it all
Ruby Lee, I show wish you was here with me.
Someone's lying with me in my bed
Some stranger who don't understand my head
Wish it was you lying here instead
Ruby Lee, I show wish you was here with me.
Drowning in a sea of pretty faces
Being quite the man about the town
Packing up and going different places
But I show miss having you around.
I listen to the noises down the hall
Think I'll move out of here in the fall
I ain't exactly having me a ball
Ruby Lee, I show wish you was here with me.
Wish I knew of someone I could call
Someone who might understand it all
Ruby Lee, I show wish you was here with me.
Someone's lying with me in my bed
Some stranger who don't understand my head
Wish it was you lying here instead
Ruby Lee, I show wish you was here with me.
Drowning in a sea of pretty faces
Being quite the man about the town
Packing up and going different places
But I show miss having you around.
I listen to the noises down the hall
Think I'll move out of here in the fall
I ain't exactly having me a ball
Ruby Lee, I show wish you was here with me.
You Lyrics – Bill Withers
You want to take me to a doctor
To talk to me about my mind
To try to give directions to some places
That I don't really want to find.
Trouble in me is not related
To things that I might say or do
I'm really not that complicated
Your good doctor friend, he oughta talk to you.
I notice that he can't remember
Things that he never should forget
And why does he spend his evenings
Smoking them funny cigarettes?
I have a friend that knows your best friend
He goes some places where she goes
He said he saw y'all at a party
Sniffing white powder up your nose.
You got the nerve to call me narrow-minded
‘Cause I'm not loose and indiscreet
But people lying down always get blinded
By people standing on their own two feet.
Life is just a shadow
That I just can't seem to find sometimes
But I guess I'll make it
‘Cause I found out that it's really in my mind.
You shouldn't take it too seriously
‘Cause it really ain't gone' last too long
You really only got two choices
You can lay down and be weak
Or you can stand up where you're at
And still be strong.
Tomorrow depends too much on today
And yesterday - all that gentleman is to you is gone
All you find out looking back
Is the fact that both of us was wrong
Both of us was wrong.
You're talking right to me
But you really ain't saying a thang
You're pouring muddy water on me
Trying to convince me it's rain
You're talking to me crazy
But you're trying to make me feel insane.
You're like a Sunday family
Digging animals in a zoo
But while you're looking at monkeys
Monkey's looking dead at you
Two people getting done
Trying to figure out who's doing who.
If you're throwing dirt at people
You got to get some dirt on you
I got to take a tone of lies
Just to get an ounce of truth from you
You're like a man loving Jesus
That says he can't stand a Jew.
Get on down and play the dozens
Talk about four folks
From your mamma to your cousins
You down there,
You know what I'm talking ‘bout.
To talk to me about my mind
To try to give directions to some places
That I don't really want to find.
Trouble in me is not related
To things that I might say or do
I'm really not that complicated
Your good doctor friend, he oughta talk to you.

Things that he never should forget
And why does he spend his evenings

Liza Lyrics – Bill Withers
[NARRATION:]
Probably one of the nicest affections in the world
Is that feeling that's there between a worldly old
Uncle and very innocent young niece.
Liza, won't you lay your head on my shoulder
Cry if you want to, I don't mind
Seems as if you need some love and kindness
And all I've got is time.
Wiser is the way when you grown older
Nothing heals a broken heart but time
I know what it means to need a shoulder
So lay your head on mine.
[PIANO SOLO & REPEAT SECOND VERSE]
Probably one of the nicest affections in the world
Is that feeling that's there between a worldly old
Uncle and very innocent young niece.
Liza, won't you lay your head on my shoulder
Cry if you want to, I don't mind
Seems as if you need some love and kindness
And all I've got is time.
Wiser is the way when you grown older
Nothing heals a broken heart but time
I know what it means to need a shoulder
So lay your head on mine.
[PIANO SOLO & REPEAT SECOND VERSE]
Heartbreak Road Lyrics – Bill Withers
Wonder who is waiting for me
At the end of Heartbreak Road
Hope that she'll be tender
Someone I can know.
Heartaches just don't last forever
But it's a lonely road
A road we all must travel
Once before we go.
I believe that love's a good teacher
When you're in it
And even if it don't work out
You ain't gone never understand it
‘Til you're all down in it
And find out what it's all about
But that's all right because
Heartaches just don't last forever
But it's a lonely road
A road we all must travel
Once before we go.
At the end of Heartbreak Road
Hope that she'll be tender
Someone I can know.
Heartaches just don't last forever
But it's a lonely road
A road we all must travel
Once before we go.
I believe that love's a good teacher
When you're in it
And even if it don't work out
You ain't gone never understand it
‘Til you're all down in it
And find out what it's all about
But that's all right because
Heartaches just don't last forever
But it's a lonely road
A road we all must travel
Once before we go.
Can We Pretend Lyrics – Bill Withers
Can we pretend
That from now on
There is no yesterday
Paint a portrait of tomorrow
With no colors from today
[Chorus:]
There's a light that shine in your face sometimes
That takes my feeling wraps them around your need
But there's shadow hiding in your heart sometimes
That makes my feelings turn back in on me
Can we pretend
The pain is gone
And go our merry way
Paint a portrait of tomorrow
With the colors bright and gay
[Repeat Chorus]
That from now on
There is no yesterday
Paint a portrait of tomorrow
With no colors from today
[Chorus:]
There's a light that shine in your face sometimes
That takes my feeling wraps them around your need
But there's shadow hiding in your heart sometimes
That makes my feelings turn back in on me
Can we pretend
The pain is gone
And go our merry way
Paint a portrait of tomorrow
With the colors bright and gay
[Repeat Chorus]
Green Grass Lyrics – Bill Withers
Looking out at the people looking in
Feeling good must be some kind of sin
Looking in at the people looking out
Feeling guilty - scared to move about
Looking up at the people looking down
Taking tranquilizers by the pound
Looking down at the people looking up
Getting mad ‘cause they can't get enough.
Ah, but that green grass on the other side
Is just an illusion
We all have our own confusion.
Rich people watching the people poor
Trying to figure out how to get some more
Poor people watching people rich
You know, they call them dirty you-know-which.
Ugly people watching the people pretty
Say they can't get down to the nitty-gritty
Pretty people watching people ugly
Say I show couldn't stand you to kiss and hug me.
Ah, but that green grass on the other side
Is just an illusion
We all have our own confusion.
Feeling good must be some kind of sin
Looking in at the people looking out
Feeling guilty - scared to move about
Looking up at the people looking down
Taking tranquilizers by the pound
Looking down at the people looking up
Getting mad ‘cause they can't get enough.
Ah, but that green grass on the other side
Is just an illusion
We all have our own confusion.
Rich people watching the people poor
Trying to figure out how to get some more
Poor people watching people rich
You know, they call them dirty you-know-which.
Ugly people watching the people pretty
Say they can't get down to the nitty-gritty
Pretty people watching people ugly
Say I show couldn't stand you to kiss and hug me.
Ah, but that green grass on the other side
Is just an illusion
We all have our own confusion.
Ain't No Sunshine Lyrics – Bill Withers
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
It's not warm when she's away.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
She's always gone too long
Anytime she goes away.

Better Off Dead Lyrics – Bill Withers
She couldn't stand me anymore so she just took the kids and went.
You see, I've got a drinkin' problem, all the money that we had I spent.
Now I must die by my own hand ‘cause I'm not man enough to live alone.
Hey, hey, she's better off without me and I'm better off dead now that she's gone.
Ah, she gave the most, took the least, she even had the priest come to our home.
And I cried and prayed and promised that I'd leave the stuff alone.
Now I must leave what I can't face, I hope she finds the kids a happy home.
Hey, hey she's better off without me and I'm better off dead now that she's gone.
She used to call her friend and cry, then the man cut off the telephone.
She'd sit and cry while I went out and pawned the things we owned.
Now I must die by my own hand ‘cause I'm not man enough to live alone.
Hey, hey she's better off without me and I'm better off dead.
You see, I've got a drinkin' problem, all the money that we had I spent.
Now I must die by my own hand ‘cause I'm not man enough to live alone.
Hey, hey, she's better off without me and I'm better off dead now that she's gone.
Ah, she gave the most, took the least, she even had the priest come to our home.
And I cried and prayed and promised that I'd leave the stuff alone.
Now I must leave what I can't face, I hope she finds the kids a happy home.
Hey, hey she's better off without me and I'm better off dead now that she's gone.
She used to call her friend and cry, then the man cut off the telephone.
She'd sit and cry while I went out and pawned the things we owned.
Now I must die by my own hand ‘cause I'm not man enough to live alone.
Hey, hey she's better off without me and I'm better off dead.
Cold Baloney Lyrics – Bill Withers
Cold Baloney, and I'm home by myself.
Well I'm five years old, and it sure is cold
Mama's out cookin' steak for someone else
Sure am sleepy, but I'm gonna wait till my mama comes
Well if the rich folks don't eat up all that good meat,
Mama's gonna brings me some.
Talking about that cold baloney, mayonnaise, and bread
Well if it wasn't for cold baloney, you know I would have been dead.
Poor mama, she sure looks tired
She said "what you eatin' son?"
"I believe that cold baloney sandwich looks good.
Would you please fix you mama one?"
Talking about cold baloney, mayonnaise, and bread
Well if it wasn't for cold baloney, you know I would have been dead
Baloney was good enough for my father, good enough for my mother
That baloney saved me and my brother
Cold baloney, mayonnaise, and bread
Well I'm five years old, and it sure is cold
Mama's out cookin' steak for someone else
Sure am sleepy, but I'm gonna wait till my mama comes
Well if the rich folks don't eat up all that good meat,
Mama's gonna brings me some.
Talking about that cold baloney, mayonnaise, and bread
Well if it wasn't for cold baloney, you know I would have been dead.
Poor mama, she sure looks tired
She said "what you eatin' son?"
"I believe that cold baloney sandwich looks good.
Would you please fix you mama one?"
Talking about cold baloney, mayonnaise, and bread
Well if it wasn't for cold baloney, you know I would have been dead
Baloney was good enough for my father, good enough for my mother
That baloney saved me and my brother
Cold baloney, mayonnaise, and bread
For My Friend Lyrics – Bill Withers
One of us has to say he's sorry
Or we will never be friends again
Lets have a drink and talk it over
I want to keep you for my friend
We're here today and gone tomorrow
None of us knows when life will end
I've said some things that caused you sorrow
But I want to keep you for my friend
[Repeat]
Or we will never be friends again
Lets have a drink and talk it over
I want to keep you for my friend
We're here today and gone tomorrow
None of us knows when life will end
I've said some things that caused you sorrow
But I want to keep you for my friend
[Repeat]

Grandma's Hands Lyrics – Bill Withers
Grandma's hands clapped in church on Sunday morning.
Grandma's hands played the tambourine so well.
Grandma's hands used to issue out a warning,
She'd say, “Billy don't you run so fast,
Might fall on a piece of glass,
Might be snaked there in that grass,”
Grandma's hands
Grandma's hands sooth the local unwed mother
Grandma's hands used to ache sometimes and swell
Grandma's hands used to lift her face and tell her,
She'd say, “Baby Grandma understands,
That you really loved that man,
Put yourself in Jesus' hands.”
Grandma's Hands
Grandma's hands used to hand me piece of candy.
Grandma's hands picked me up each time I fell.
Grandma's hands, boy the really came in handy
She'd say, “ Mattie don't you whip that boy.
What you want to spank him for?
He didn't drop no apple core,”
But I don't have Grandma anymore,
If I get to heaven I'll look for
Grandma's hands.
Um,mm,mm.

Harlem Lyrics – Bill Withers
Summer night in Harlem, man it's a really hot
Well it's too hot to sleep, and I'm too cold to heat
I don't care if I die or not
Winter night in Harlem
Radiator won't get hot
Well the mean old landlord, he don't care
If I freeze to death or not
Saturday night in Harlem, everything's alright
You can really swing and shake you're pretty
Everything's alright
Sunday morning here in Harlem, everybody's all dressed up
While the hip folks gettin' a home from the party
And the good folks just got up
Crooked delegation wants a donation
To send the preacher to the holy land,
Hey, hey lawd, honey don't give your money to that lying, cheatin' man.
Well it's too hot to sleep, and I'm too cold to heat
I don't care if I die or not
Winter night in Harlem
Radiator won't get hot
Well the mean old landlord, he don't care
If I freeze to death or not
Saturday night in Harlem, everything's alright
You can really swing and shake you're pretty
Everything's alright
Sunday morning here in Harlem, everybody's all dressed up
While the hip folks gettin' a home from the party
And the good folks just got up
Crooked delegation wants a donation
To send the preacher to the holy land,
Hey, hey lawd, honey don't give your money to that lying, cheatin' man.
Hope She'll Be Happier Lyrics – Bill Withers
Maybe the lateness of the hour
Makes me seem bluer than I am
But in my heart there is a shower,
I hope she'll be happier with him.
Maybe the darkness of the hour
Makes me seem lonelier than I am,
But over the darkness I have no power,
Hope she'll be happier with him.
I can't believe that she don't want to see me,
We lived and loved with each other so long.
I never thought that she really would leave me,
But she's gone.
Maybe the lateness of the hour
Makes me seem bluer than I am,
But in my heart there is a shower,
Hope she'll be happier with him.
Makes me seem bluer than I am
But in my heart there is a shower,
I hope she'll be happier with him.
Maybe the darkness of the hour
Makes me seem lonelier than I am,
But over the darkness I have no power,
Hope she'll be happier with him.
I can't believe that she don't want to see me,
We lived and loved with each other so long.
I never thought that she really would leave me,
But she's gone.
Maybe the lateness of the hour
Makes me seem bluer than I am,
But in my heart there is a shower,
Hope she'll be happier with him.
I Can't Write Left Handed Lyrics – Bill Withers
I can't write left handed
Would you please write a letter to my mother
Tell her to tell the family lawyer
Try to get a deferment for my younger brother
Tell the Reverend Harris to pray for me, lord, lord, lord
I ain't gonna live, I don't believe I'm going to live to get much older
Strange little man over here in Vietnam, I ain't never
Bless his heart I ain't never done nothin' to, he done shot me in my shoulder
Boot camp we had classes
You know we talked about fightin', fightin' everyday
And lookin' through rosy, rosy colored glasses
I must admit it seemed exciting anyway
But something that day overlooked to tell me
Bullet look better I must say
Rather when they comin' at you.
But go without the other way
And please call up the Reverend Harris
And tell him to ask the lord to do some good things for me
Tell him, I ain't gonna live, I ain't gonna live, I ain't gonna live to get much older
Strange little man over here in Vietnam, I ain't never seen, bless his heart I
ain't never done nothing to, he done shot me in my shoulder
Would you please write a letter to my mother
Tell her to tell the family lawyer
Try to get a deferment for my younger brother
Tell the Reverend Harris to pray for me, lord, lord, lord
I ain't gonna live, I don't believe I'm going to live to get much older
Strange little man over here in Vietnam, I ain't never
Bless his heart I ain't never done nothin' to, he done shot me in my shoulder
Boot camp we had classes
You know we talked about fightin', fightin' everyday
And lookin' through rosy, rosy colored glasses
I must admit it seemed exciting anyway
But something that day overlooked to tell me
Bullet look better I must say
Rather when they comin' at you.
But go without the other way
And please call up the Reverend Harris
And tell him to ask the lord to do some good things for me
Tell him, I ain't gonna live, I ain't gonna live, I ain't gonna live to get much older
Strange little man over here in Vietnam, I ain't never seen, bless his heart I

Lean On Me Lyrics – Bill Withers
Sometimes in our lives, we all have pain, we all have sorrow.
But if we are not wise, we know that there's always tomorrow.
Lean on me when you're not strong
I'll be your friend I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long ‘til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on.
Please swallow your pride
If I have things you need to borrow
For no one can fill those of your needs
That you won't let show.
You just call on me, brother, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on.
I just might have a problem that you'll understand,
We all need somebody to lean on.
Lean on me when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long ‘til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on
You just call on me, brother, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on.
I just might have a problem that you'll understand,
We all need somebody to lean on.
If there is a load you have to bear
That you can't carry I'm right up the road
I'll share your load if you just call me.
Call me (If you need a friend)
Call me
Call me
But if we are not wise, we know that there's always tomorrow.
Lean on me when you're not strong
I'll be your friend I'll help you carry on

For no one can fill those of your needs
That you won't let show.
You just call on me, brother, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on.
I just might have a problem that you'll understand,
We all need somebody to lean on.
Lean on me when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend I'll help you carry on

Let Me Into Your Life Lyrics – Bill Withers
I only want to love you
Please don't push me away
Let me in your life
I wasn't there when he hurt you
So why should I have to pay
Let me in your life
I want to share your tomorrow
So I must beg you today
If he's the cause of your sorrow
Be glad that he's gone away
I need someone let me love you
Please don't push me away
Let me in your life
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
Please don't push me away

Be glad that he's gone away
I need someone let me love you
Please don't push me away
Let me in your life
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
Let Us Love Lyrics – Bill Withers
On just an ordinary day, no reason, no reason for a fuss
But even though, it isn't Christmas, let us love one another, let us love
On just a day, just a day, no special name, no pretty presents, pretty presents to exchange
Make it a good day, just the same
Let us love one another, let us love
No special greeting, special greeting for the day
No happy easter, no merry christmas, only how are you today
Make it a good day, anyway
Let us help one another, help your neighbor, he's your brother
Let us love, let us love, hey now, let us love, love one another
Help your neighbor, he's your brother, let us love, now let us love
One another,
Help your neighbor, he might not feel so good sometimes,
Let us love, love one another, help your neighbor,
Let us love, let us love, hey now, let us help, help one another
Love your neighbor, he's your brother, let us love, let us love
Let us love, let us love, love one another, help your neighbor
He's your brother, let us love one another, let us love
But even though, it isn't Christmas, let us love one another, let us love
On just a day, just a day, no special name, no pretty presents, pretty presents to exchange
Make it a good day, just the same
Let us love one another, let us love
No special greeting, special greeting for the day
No happy easter, no merry christmas, only how are you today

Lonely Town, Lonely Street Lyrics – Bill Withers
You can live your life in a crowded city,
You can walk along a crowded street.
But the city really ain't no bigger than the friendly
People, friendly people that you meet.
You might be a sweet young, sweet young pretty, pretty,
And at the dances you can't keep your seat.
But, if dances don't lead to romances,
You might as well be born, be born with two left feet.
You might be a sweet-toned sure ‘nuff high-class talker,
You might be a stone, stone expert at kissing.
But it don't do too much good to be talkin',
Brother, when there ain't no, ain't nobody lis'nin'.
And if you are shy, just not much of a talker,
Don't impress the people that you meet.
You might as well be a lonely walker in a lonely town, on a lonely street.
You can walk along a crowded street.
But the city really ain't no bigger than the friendly
People, friendly people that you meet.
You might be a sweet young, sweet young pretty, pretty,
And at the dances you can't keep your seat.
But, if dances don't lead to romances,
You might as well be born, be born with two left feet.
You might be a sweet-toned sure ‘nuff high-class talker,
You might be a stone, stone expert at kissing.
But it don't do too much good to be talkin',
Brother, when there ain't no, ain't nobody lis'nin'.
And if you are shy, just not much of a talker,
Don't impress the people that you meet.
You might as well be a lonely walker in a lonely town, on a lonely street.
Use Me Lyrics – Bill Withers
My friends feel it's their appointed duty,
To tell me, all you want to do is use me
My answer to all that use me stuff
Is I want to spread the news that if it feels this good getting used
Just keep on using me ‘till you use me up
My brother sat me right down and he talked to me
He told me I ought not let you just walk on me
He meant well but when our talk was through
I said brother if you only knew you'd wish that you were in my shoes
Just keep on using me until you use me up
Sometimes it's true you really do abuse me
You get me in a crowd of high class people and act real rude to me
But oh! Baby when you love me I can't get enough
And I want to spread the news, if it feels this good getting used
You just keep on using me until you use me up
Talking ‘bout you using people
It all depends on what you do
It ain't too bad the way you using me
‘Cause I sure am using you to do the things you do.
To tell me, all you want to do is use me
My answer to all that use me stuff
Is I want to spread the news that if it feels this good getting used
Just keep on using me ‘till you use me up
My brother sat me right down and he talked to me
He told me I ought not let you just walk on me
He meant well but when our talk was through
I said brother if you only knew you'd wish that you were in my shoes
Just keep on using me until you use me up
Sometimes it's true you really do abuse me
You get me in a crowd of high class people and act real rude to me
But oh! Baby when you love me I can't get enough
And I want to spread the news, if it feels this good getting used
You just keep on using me until you use me up
Talking ‘bout you using people
It all depends on what you do
It ain't too bad the way you using me
‘Cause I sure am using you to do the things you do.
World Keeps Going Around Lyrics – Bill Withers
Looking at the pictures of the places that he's been
Old man told me what he found
Said it don't make no difference whether you're out or whether you're in
You know the world keeps going around and around
Going around and around
Said he looked at the places, talk to the faces that he seen
Then he turned the pictures upside down
Said it don't make no difference how many places that you've been
Said the world keeps going around and around
Going around and around
Then he put up the pictures shook his head and with a grin
He talked about his ups and downs
Said it don't make no difference how many fixes you've been in
You know the world keeps going around and around
Going around and around

Betty Joe Johnson
Don't you pull no Daisy Mae on me
Daisy Mae she did me dirty
So I had to leave her for Anna Lee
Anna Lee she had big street feet
She spends her nights out on the road
So I started seeing Sally Jackson
I had to let old Anna Lee go
Sally Jackson was a player
Had another man along with me
So I just took me one step backwards
Checked up on old Anna Lee
Anna Lee still had them street feet
Like to dance all night and sleep all day
So I just took one more step backwards
Checked up on old Daisy Mae
Daisy Mae is still doing dirty
So I tell you what I had to do
I had to go just one step further
Betty Joe Johnson
And that's how I know you
Said he looked at the places, talk to the faces that he seen
Then he turned the pictures upside down
Said it don't make no difference how many places that you've been
Said the world keeps going around and around
Going around and around
Old man told me what he found
Said it don't make no difference whether you're out or whether you're in
You know the world keeps going around and around
Going around and around
Said he looked at the places, talk to the faces that he seen
Then he turned the pictures upside down
Said it don't make no difference how many places that you've been
Said the world keeps going around and around
Going around and around
Then he put up the pictures shook his head and with a grin
He talked about his ups and downs
Said it don't make no difference how many fixes you've been in
You know the world keeps going around and around
Going around and around

Lonely Town, Lonely Street Lyrics – Bill Withers
You can live your life in a crowded city
You can walk along a crowded street
But the city really ain't no bigger
Than the friendly people, friendly people that you meet
You might be a sweet young, sweet young pretty pretty
And at the dances you can't keep your seat
But if dances don't lead to romances
You might as well be born, be born with two left feet
You might be a sweet-toned sure 'nuff high-class talker
You might be a stone, stone expert at kissing
But it don't do too much good to be talkin'
Brother, when there ain'n no, ain't nobody listenin'
And if you are shy, just not much of a talker
Don't impress the people that you meet
You might as well be a lonely walker
In a lonely town, on a lonely street
You can walk along a crowded street
But the city really ain't no bigger
Than the friendly people, friendly people that you meet
You might be a sweet young, sweet young pretty pretty
And at the dances you can't keep your seat
But if dances don't lead to romances
You might as well be born, be born with two left feet
You might be a sweet-toned sure 'nuff high-class talker
You might be a stone, stone expert at kissing
But it don't do too much good to be talkin'
Brother, when there ain'n no, ain't nobody listenin'
And if you are shy, just not much of a talker
Don't impress the people that you meet
You might as well be a lonely walker
In a lonely town, on a lonely street
Let Me In Your Life Lyrics – Bill Withers
I only want to love you
Please don't push me away
Let me in your life
I wasn't there when he hurt you
So why should I have to pay
Let me in your life
I want to share your tomorrow
So I must beg you today
If he's the cause of your sorrow
Be glad that he's gone away
I need someone let me love you
Please don't push me away
Let me in your life
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
Please don't push me away
Let me in your life
I wasn't there when he hurt you
So why should I have to pay
Let me in your life
I want to share your tomorrow
So I must beg you today
If he's the cause of your sorrow
Be glad that he's gone away
I need someone let me love you
Please don't push me away
Let me in your life
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
Who Is He (And What Is He To You) Lyrics – Bill Withers
A man we passed just tried to stare me down
And when I looked at you
You looked at the ground
I don't know who he is
But I think that you do
Dadgummit
Who is he, and what is he to you?
Ahh
Something in my heart and in your eye
Tells me he's not someone just passing by
Ahh
And when you cleared your throat
Was that your cue?
Dadgummit
Who is he, and what is he to you?
Ahh now
When I add the sum of you and me
I get confused when I keep coming up with 3
You're too much for one man
But not enough for two
Dadgummit
Who is he and what is he to you?
Well
You tell me men don't have much intuition
Is that what you really thinkin girl
Or are you wishing?
Before you wreck your old home
And searcht another new
Dadgummit
Who is he, and what is he to you?
[x4]
And when I looked at you
You looked at the ground
I don't know who he is
But I think that you do
Dadgummit
Who is he, and what is he to you?
Ahh
Something in my heart and in your eye
Tells me he's not someone just passing by
Ahh
And when you cleared your throat
Was that your cue?
Dadgummit
Who is he, and what is he to you?
Ahh now
When I add the sum of you and me
I get confused when I keep coming up with 3
You're too much for one man
But not enough for two
Dadgummit
Who is he and what is he to you?
Well
You tell me men don't have much intuition
Is that what you really thinkin girl
Or are you wishing?
Before you wreck your old home
And searcht another new
Dadgummit
Who is he, and what is he to you?

Use Me Lyrics – Bill Withers
'My friends feel it's their appointed duty
They keep trying to tell me
All you want to do is use me
But my answer, yeah to all that use me stuff
I want to spread the news
That if it feels this good getting used
You just keep on using me
Until you use me up
Until you use me up
My brother sit me right down and he talked to me
He told me that I ought not to let you just walk on me
And I'm sure he meant well
Yeah, but when our talk was through
I said, brother, if you only knew
You'd wish that you were in my shoes
You just keep on using me
Until you use me up
Until you use me up
Sometimes, it's true
You really do abuse me
You get me in a crowd of high-class people
And then you act real rude to me
But, oh baby, baby, baby, baby,
When you love me, I can't get enough
I want to spread the news
That if it feels this good getting used
Girl, you just keep on using me
Until you use me up
Until you use me up
Talkin' 'bout you usin' people
It all depends on what you do
It ain't too bad the way you're usin' me
'Cause I sure am usin' you to do the things you do'
to do the things you do

All you want to do is use me
But my answer, yeah to all that use me stuff

Kissing My Love Lyrics – Bill Withers
Whoa now
When I'm kissing my love
Yeah thump a thumping in my head
Whoa now

I Don't Know Lyrics – Bill Withers
I get a warm summer feeling walking through the snow
Even chilly darkness has the brightest glow
And I just love you so, sometimes I just don't know
Time just seems to help this wondrous feeling grow
Maybe I might wake up early one morning
And find it isn't so
I just love you so
Sometimes I just don't know
Feeling like a rich man haven't got a dime
Feeling like a young man but I'm old as father time
And I just love you so
Sometimes I just don't know
I just don't know
Even chilly darkness has the brightest glow
And I just love you so, sometimes I just don't know
Time just seems to help this wondrous feeling grow
Maybe I might wake up early one morning
And find it isn't so
I just love you so
Sometimes I just don't know
Feeling like a rich man haven't got a dime
Feeling like a young man but I'm old as father time
And I just love you so
Sometimes I just don't know
I just don't know
Another Day To Run Lyrics – Bill Withers
If you don't look into your mind and find out
what you're running from
tomorrow might just be another day to run
If you just sit and waste your time you'll be
going where you're coming from (think about that)
tomorrow might be just another day to run
Someone must control your mind
you're the one
dark confusion's what you find when you run.
I don't want to waste your time but I'm talking
to you like a son
Tomorrow might be just another day to run
Walking down the road of life looking for direction sometimes
my mind gets so mixed up I can't tell lust from affection
Gonna stop in to a roadside church and get my mind a rest
and Lord Jesus, help me get my soul together in the process
Pretty ladies stand in line waiting for inspection
ragged old men drinking wine trying to drown rejection
I've been wasting too much time, I'm going to lose my
mind unless, Lord Jesus
You help me get my soul together in the process
I see Tony Jr. fill up his arm with dope and dream
about a valley but he lives in an alley
filled with papers thrown away -- Lord tell me
He's long on dreams and short on hope and sometimes
he goes to rallies and stops by to see Sally just
to pass the time away
Lord tell me Tony tell me why do you want to get high
enough to die.

I Don't Want You On My Mind Lyrics – Bill Withers
I don't want you on my mind all the time
I believe that it shows a sign of weakness
I don't want no lonely nights that gets me cryin'
I found out I don't get nowhere with weakness
Every dream about you
I just wake up knowing that I've got to do without you
I don't want all the time doin' up my mind
I don't want you on my mind all the time
I don't want you on my mind all the time
I believe that it shows a sign of weakness
I don't want no lonely nights that gets me cryin'
I found out I don't get nowhere with weakness
Every dream about you
I just wake up knowing that I got to do without you
I don't want all the time doin' up my mind
I don't want you on my mind all the time
I believe that it shows a sign of weakness
I don't want no lonely nights that gets me cryin'
I found out I don't get nowhere with weakness
Every dream about you
I just wake up knowing that I've got to do without you
I don't want all the time doin' up my mind
I don't want you on my mind all the time
I don't want you on my mind all the time
I believe that it shows a sign of weakness
I don't want no lonely nights that gets me cryin'
I found out I don't get nowhere with weakness
Every dream about you
I just wake up knowing that I got to do without you
I don't want all the time doin' up my mind
I don't want you on my mind all the time
Take It All In And Check It All Out Lyrics – Bill Withers
You can fill up a room with idle conversation
You can stir up a whole darn nation with your mouth
But before you start to show your indignation about a situation
You ought to take it all in and check it all out.
You can create a boom with catchy information
You can shake up a lot of people if you shout
But before you begin to grin about the success of your creation
You ought to take it all in and check it all out.
You can make out a plan with aimless dedication
You can hang up a million slogans in you house
But before you put it into operation, before you man your station
You ought to take it all in and check it all out.
You ought to take it all in and check it all out, find out what it's all about
You ought to take it all in and check it all out
You can stir up a whole darn nation with your mouth
But before you start to show your indignation about a situation
You ought to take it all in and check it all out.
You can create a boom with catchy information
You can shake up a lot of people if you shout
But before you begin to grin about the success of your creation
You ought to take it all in and check it all out.
You can make out a plan with aimless dedication
You can hang up a million slogans in you house
But before you put it into operation, before you man your station
You ought to take it all in and check it all out.
You ought to take it all in and check it all out, find out what it's all about
You ought to take it all in and check it all out
Lean On Me Lyrics – Bill Withers
Sometimes in our lives
We all have pain, we all have sorrow
But if we are wise
We know that there's always tomorrow
Lean on me when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on
Please, swallow your pride
If I have things you need to borrow
For no one can fill those of your needs

You just call on me, brother, when you need a hand

You just call on me, brother, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on

Harlem Lyrics – Bill Withers
Summer night in Harlem, Man it's really hot! Well it's too hot to sleep and too hot to eat. I don't care if I die or not!

Ain't No Sunshine Lyrics – Bill Withers
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
It's not warm when she's away.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And she's always gone too long
Anytime she goes away.
Wonder this time where she's gone
Wonder if she's gone to stay
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away.
And I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know,
Hey, I oughtta leave young thing alone
But ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Only darkness every day.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away.
It's not warm when she's away.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And she's always gone too long
Anytime she goes away.
Wonder this time where she's gone
Wonder if she's gone to stay
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away.
And I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,

But ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Only darkness every day.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away.
Grandma's Hands Lyrics – Bill Withers
Grandma's hands
Clapped in church on Sunday morning
Grandma's hands
Played a tambourine so well
Grandma's hands
Used to issue out a warning
She'd say, "Billy don't you run so fast
Might fall on a piece of glass
Might be snakes there in that grass"
Grandma's hands
Grandma's hands
Soothed a local unwed mother
Grandma's hands
Used to ache sometimes and swell
Grandma's hands
Used to lift her face and tell her,
She'd say "Baby, Grandma understands
That you really love that man
Put yourself in Jesus hands"
Grandma's hands
Grandma's hands
Used to hand me piece of candy
Grandma's hands
Picked me up each time I fell
Grandma's hands
Boy, they really came in handy
She'd say, "Matty don' you whip that boy
What you want to spank him for?
He didn' drop no apple core"
But I don't have Grandma anymore
If I get to heaven I'll look for
Grandma's hands
Clapped in church on Sunday morning
Grandma's hands
Played a tambourine so well
Grandma's hands
Used to issue out a warning
She'd say, "Billy don't you run so fast
Might fall on a piece of glass
Might be snakes there in that grass"
Grandma's hands
Grandma's hands
Soothed a local unwed mother
Grandma's hands
Used to ache sometimes and swell
Grandma's hands
Used to lift her face and tell her,
She'd say "Baby, Grandma understands
That you really love that man
Put yourself in Jesus hands"
Grandma's hands
Grandma's hands
Used to hand me piece of candy
Grandma's hands
Picked me up each time I fell
Grandma's hands
Boy, they really came in handy
She'd say, "Matty don' you whip that boy
What you want to spank him for?
He didn' drop no apple core"
But I don't have Grandma anymore
If I get to heaven I'll look for
Grandma's hands
Sweet Wanomi Lyrics – Bill Withers
In a room with soft satin pillows,
Cracklin' fireplace keeps us warm.
Whisprin' wind through weepin' willows,
And sweet Wanomi restin' in my arms.
In a soft light her eyes are gleamin'
Pretty little hand covers up her mouth when she yawns.
Wake me up, I must be dreamin' that
Sweet Wanomi restin' in my arms.
Sleepy kisses, warm me softly
Get much warmer later on.
I reach for the light and turn it off,
Uh, huh, sweet Wanomi restin' in my arms.
Sweet Wanomi restin' in my arms
Sweet Wanomi restin' in my arms
Sweet Wanomi restin' in my arms.
Cracklin' fireplace keeps us warm.
Whisprin' wind through weepin' willows,
And sweet Wanomi restin' in my arms.
In a soft light her eyes are gleamin'
Pretty little hand covers up her mouth when she yawns.
Wake me up, I must be dreamin' that
Sweet Wanomi restin' in my arms.
Sleepy kisses, warm me softly
Get much warmer later on.
I reach for the light and turn it off,
Uh, huh, sweet Wanomi restin' in my arms.
Sweet Wanomi restin' in my arms
Sweet Wanomi restin' in my arms
Sweet Wanomi restin' in my arms.
Everybody's Talking Lyrics – Bill Withers
Everybody's talkin' at me
I don't hear a word they're sayin'
Only the echoes of my mind
People stop, starin' at me
I don't even see their faces
Only the shadow of their eyes
Going where the sun keeps a-shinin'
Through the pourin' rain
Goin' where the weather suits my clothes
Bankin' off the northeast wind
Sailin' on a summer breeze
Skippin' over the ocean like a stone
Why, why, why, why?
Why, why, why, why?
I said, everybody keeps talkin' at me
I don't hear a word they're sayin', now
Only the echoes of my mind
People stop, starin' at me
I don't even see their faces
Only the shadow of their eyes
Skippin', skippin', skippin', skip, skip
Over the ocean like a stone
I said, why, why, why?
Why, why?
I don't hear a word they're sayin'
Only the echoes of my mind
People stop, starin' at me
I don't even see their faces
Only the shadow of their eyes
Going where the sun keeps a-shinin'
Through the pourin' rain
Goin' where the weather suits my clothes
Bankin' off the northeast wind
Sailin' on a summer breeze
Skippin' over the ocean like a stone
Why, why, why, why?
Why, why, why, why?
I said, everybody keeps talkin' at me
I don't hear a word they're sayin', now
Only the echoes of my mind
People stop, starin' at me
I don't even see their faces
Only the shadow of their eyes
Skippin', skippin', skippin', skip, skip
Over the ocean like a stone
I said, why, why, why?
Why, why?
Do It Good Lyrics – Bill Withers
(Do it good)
(Do it good)
(Do it good)
If you want to kiss a funky beagle,
Hitch a ride upon an eagle
Read a catalog from Spiegel
Go on and do it, do it, do it,
Go on and do it, do it, do it,
Hey do it, do it to it,
But do it good.
Ah, fish was made for hook-in',
And grits was made for cookin'
And eyes were made for lookin',
Go on and do it, do it, do it,
Go on and do it, do it, do it,
But do it good.
(Do it good)
(Do it good)
If you want to kiss a funky beagle,
Hitch a ride upon an eagle

Go on and do it, do it, do it,
Go on and do it, do it, do it,
Hey do it, do it to it,
But do it good.
Ah, fish was made for hook-in',
And grits was made for cookin'
And eyes were made for lookin',
Go on and do it, do it, do it,
Go on and do it, do it, do it,
But do it good.
Hope She'll Be Happier Lyrics – Bill Withers
Maybe the lateness of the hour
Makes me seem bluer than I am
But in my heart there is a shower,
I hope she'll be happier with him.
Maybe the darkness of the hour
Makes me seem lonelier than I am,
But over the darkness I have no power,
Hope she'll be happier with him.
I can't believe that she don't want to see me,
We lived and loved with each other so long.
I never thought that she really would leave me,
But she's gone.
Maybe the lateness of the hour
Makes me seem bluer than I am,
But in my heart there is a shower,
Hope she'll be happier with him.
Makes me seem bluer than I am
But in my heart there is a shower,
I hope she'll be happier with him.
Maybe the darkness of the hour
Makes me seem lonelier than I am,
But over the darkness I have no power,
Hope she'll be happier with him.
I can't believe that she don't want to see me,
We lived and loved with each other so long.
I never thought that she really would leave me,
But she's gone.
Maybe the lateness of the hour
Makes me seem bluer than I am,
But in my heart there is a shower,
Hope she'll be happier with him.
Let It Be Lyrics – Bill Withers
When I find myself in time of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking the words of wisdom, let it be
Lord, let it be
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
Lord, let it be
Yeah, let it be, oh, let it be
Lord, let it be, Lord, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
Lord, let it be
And when the brokenhearted people
Living in the world agree
There will be an answer, let it be
Lord, let it be
And though they may be parted
There is a-still a chance that they
might see
There will be an answer, let it be
Lord, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Lord, let it be, Lord, let it be
There will be an answer, let it be
Lord, let it be, Lord, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking the words of wisdom, let it be
Lord, let it be
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
Lord, let it be
Yeah, let it be, oh, let it be
Lord, let it be, Lord, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
Lord, let it be
And when the brokenhearted people
Living in the world agree
There will be an answer, let it be
Lord, let it be
And though they may be parted
There is a-still a chance that they
might see
There will be an answer, let it be
Lord, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Lord, let it be, Lord, let it be
There will be an answer, let it be
Lord, let it be, Lord, let it be
Let it be, let it be
I'm Her Daddy Lyrics – Bill Withers
How do you do, Lucy?
You sure been hard to find.
I heard you had a daughter
Six years old and
I just can't keep from cry'n'.
Six years Lucy, Lord have mercy,
That's a long time, that's a long time.
Is she pretty, has she grown?
Does she sleep well in a room of her own?
Can I see her?
Does she know that I'm her daddy, I'm her daddy?
Did you give her one of my pictures?
Does she carry yeh, yeh, picture with her?
Does she show it to the baby sitter, and say,
“See that man, that's my daddy, that's my daddy?”
You should ‘a told me, Lucy, You should ‘a told me, Lucy,
Yeh, you should ‘a told me, Lucy.
Oh, Lucy. Oh, Lucy. Oh, Lucy. Oh, Lucy.
You should ‘a told me Lucy.
You sure been hard to find.
I heard you had a daughter
Six years old and
I just can't keep from cry'n'.
Six years Lucy, Lord have mercy,
That's a long time, that's a long time.
Is she pretty, has she grown?
Does she sleep well in a room of her own?
Can I see her?
Does she know that I'm her daddy, I'm her daddy?
Did you give her one of my pictures?
Does she carry yeh, yeh, picture with her?
Does she show it to the baby sitter, and say,
“See that man, that's my daddy, that's my daddy?”
You should ‘a told me, Lucy, You should ‘a told me, Lucy,
Yeh, you should ‘a told me, Lucy.
Oh, Lucy. Oh, Lucy. Oh, Lucy. Oh, Lucy.
You should ‘a told me Lucy.
In My Heart Lyrics – Bill Withers
When I need some affection you're not there,
I close my eyes and use my recollection,
And in one moment there's my fav'rite scene,
Taken from the place where I keep my dreams,
In my heart, in my heart.
It's a lovely lovely lovely lovely thing to see,
The picture in the birthday wallet that you gave to me.
But a man can lose a photograph, so just in case,
I keep your portrait close to me in a special place,
In my heart, in my heart, in my heart, in my heart,
In my heart. Hey, hey, in my heart, in my heart. Hey
I close my eyes and use my recollection,
And in one moment there's my fav'rite scene,
Taken from the place where I keep my dreams,
In my heart, in my heart.
It's a lovely lovely lovely lovely thing to see,
The picture in the birthday wallet that you gave to me.
But a man can lose a photograph, so just in case,
I keep your portrait close to me in a special place,
In my heart, in my heart, in my heart, in my heart,
In my heart. Hey, hey, in my heart, in my heart. Hey
Moanin' And Groanin' Lyrics – Bill Withers
(Hmm) (hum) (hum)
Ah, she keeps me moanin', groanin', hey, because I feel so good,
Feel real good.
Why can't nobody love me like my baby does?
Young girl turned out to be two times quite the woman that I thought she was.
Oh she keeps me moanin', groanin', hey, because I feel is good. I feel real good.
Oh, can't nobody do, no, no, no, what my baby's done.
Said, if she ain't the best in the world, she's good as the goodest one,
And she keeps me moanin', groanin', hey, because
I feel real good.
I feel real good.
Oh, oh, eh, hey, oh, ho, oh, ho,
Oh, ho, oh, ho
Ah, she keeps me moanin', groanin', hey, because I feel so good,
Feel real good.
Why can't nobody love me like my baby does?
Young girl turned out to be two times quite the woman that I thought she was.
Oh she keeps me moanin', groanin', hey, because I feel is good. I feel real good.
Oh, can't nobody do, no, no, no, what my baby's done.
Said, if she ain't the best in the world, she's good as the goodest one,
And she keeps me moanin', groanin', hey, because
I feel real good.
I feel real good.
Oh, oh, eh, hey, oh, ho, oh, ho,
Oh, ho, oh, ho
