I Can't Forget You - Patti LaBelle & Michael McDonald

I know we're no longer together And you moved on with another Not a day goes by that I don't miss your face You can be warm under the covers We make lovin' like no other I regret not doing more to make you stay So if the world is getting heavy And you feel the need to call me Never doubt it, I'll always be right here If I had a chance to bring you back to me I would do it in a heartbeat Never doubt it, I'll always be right here As much as I pretend I can't forget the day you left You're the air I breathe My life was in your kiss My breath in your lips So how do I live? If baby you're the air I breathe ('Cause baby you're the air I breathe) No more Oye mami Weekend out without feeling you on me Holding the pillow but pretending is your body It's like I'm drowning underwater with my insights This the kind of pain that makes a man cry Holding in and keepin' it cool So I be steady on my right Try keep my mind off of you But it ain't working I'm missing you like a drug It's like I can't get back the air in my lungs That's why I'm tellin' you- Baby, no matter how far Wherever you are I'm waitin' for you I don't wanna, I don't wanna let go Lady, not matter how far Wherever you are I'm waitin' for you I don't wanna, I don't wanna let go As much as I pretend I can't forget the day you left You're the air I breathe My life was in your kiss My breath in your lips So how do I live? If baby you're the air I breathe ('Cause baby you're the air I breathe) No more So if the world is getting heavy And you feel the need to call me Never doubt it, I'll always be right here If I had the chance to bring you back to me I would do it in a heartbeat Never doubt it, I'll always be right here As much as I pretend I can't forget the day you left You're the air I breathe My life was in your kiss My breath in your lips So how do I live? If baby you're the air I breathe ('Cause baby you're the air I breathe) No more

I stumbled out of bed I got ready for the struggle I smoked a cigarette And I tightened up my gut I said this can't be me Must be my double And I can't forget, I can't forget I can't forget but I don't remember what I'm burning up the road I'm heading down to Phoenix I got this old address Of someone that I knew It was high and fine and free Ah, you should have seen us And I can't forget, I can't forget I can't forget but I don't remember who I'll be there today With a big bouquet of cactus I got this rig that runs on memories And I promise, cross my heart, They'll never catch us But if they do, just tell them it was me Yeah I loved you all my life And that's how I want to end it The summer's almost gone The winter's tuning up Yeah, the summer's gone But a lot goes on forever And I can't forget, I can't forget I can't forget but I don't remember what

I can't forget you I've got these memories of you I can't forget you I'll always be loving you Once we were happy We were so carefree and gay Then something happened And you went away I can't forget you Please tell me what must I do My memories haunt me Because I'll always love you Where are you darlin' Are you with someone new I can't forget you I'll always be loving you (I can't forget you) (I've got these memories of you) (I can't forget you) (I'll always be loving you) I can't forget you Please tell me what must I do My memories haunt me Because I'll always love you Where are you darlin' Are you with someone new I can't forget you I'll always be loving you...

Now is the time, time to release Time to release your love Now is the time, time to release Time to release your love We've been in a stalemate so long Like being locked up in a prison (Locked up in a prison) And I don't want to be that way with you Release Release the tension There's too much tension in the world today Release Show some emotion And let the motion rock us away, rock on, rock on Release (Release) Release the tension (Release) There's too much tension in the world today Release (Release) Show some emotion (Release) And let the motion rock us away, rock on, rock on We've been at a standstill so long And it's not getting any better (Not getting any better) Slowly, slowly, slowly Drifting apart Oh, release Release the tension There's too much tension in the world today Release Show some emotion And let the motion rock us away, rock on, rock on, rock on Release (Release) Release the tension (Release) There's too much tension in the world today Release (Release) Show some emotion (Release) And let the motion rock us away, rock on, rock on, rock on Now is the time, time to release Time to release your love Now is the time, time to release Time to release your love Release Release the tension There's too much tension In the world today Release Show some emotion And let the motion Rock us away, rock on, rock on, rock on Release Release the tension There's too much tension in the world today Oh, you got to release Show some emotion Then let the motion rock us away, Rock on, rock on, rock on, rock on, rock on, rock on, rock on Wooo Hooo (Release, show some emotion) (And let the motion) (Rock us away) (Rock on, rock on, rock on... Release some tension, there's so much tension...)

Looking back on when I Was a little nappy headed boy Then my only worry Was for Christmas what would be my toy Even though we sometimes Would not get a thing We were happy with the Joy the day would bring Sneaking out the back door To hang out with those hoodlum friends of mine Greeted at the back door With boy thought I told you not to go outside Tryin' your best to bring the Water to your eyes Thinkin' it might stop her Grom woopin' your behind I wish those days could come back once more Why did those days ev-er have to go I wish those days could come back once more Why did those days ev-er have to go Cause I love them so Brother says he's tellin' 'Bout you playin' doctor with that girl Just don't tell I'll give you Anything you want in this whole wide world Mama gives you money for Sunday school You trade yours for candy after church is through Smokin' cigarettes and writing Something nasty on the wall (you nasty boy) Teacher sends you to the principal's office down the wall You grow up and learn that kinda thing ain't right But while you were doin'it-it sure felt outta sight I wish those days could come back once more Why did those days ev-er have to go I wish those days could come back once more Why did those days ev-er have to go

I like the sound of funky music Let me hear you sing it (I like the sound of funky music) I like it 'Cause funky music sho nuff turns me on I like the sound of funky music Bless my soul, I can't control The feeling I get when I hear the funky music People, it does something to my brain What it is I can't explain Keep it right there I don't want to lose it Come on, come on, come on people now Express yourself Come on come on come on people now I like the sound of funky music My mind is singing Everybody sing it sing it I like it 'Cause funky music sho nuff turn me on Music's got my soul on fire I can feel the blood boiling in my veins People I get a feeling deep down inside Something like a rollercoaster ride And I ain't ashamed to say that I feel alright Funky now Come on come on come on people and express yourself Don't it make you feel alright All you crazy people from the big city Get on down to the nitty gritty I like the sound of funky music Everybody sing it with me (I like the sound of funky music) 'Cause funky music sho nuff turn me on Boom boom boom Like a river turns me Boom boom boom
