If I Could Build My Whole World Around You - Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell

Life's been good, I can't complain so far Designer clothes, expensive caviar And gated homes to keep the wolves at bay Tinted glass to hide my guilt and shame Neon signs and vagrants at the door Broken values, needles, liquor stores And won't somebody help me to believe Help me to deny the things I see Now whatever comes your way Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose But when it all comes down you make it through You got the whole world around You got the whole world around Something tells me not to make a scene Open up yor heart and let me in I've traveled far enough to meet my own demise Seems like every one I know still wears the same disguise Take me, rape me, push me down As long as I'm understood Like the soldiers view from the bunkers to the towers on Park Avenue Yeah yeah yeah... Something tells me not to make a scene Open up yor heart and let me in You got the whole world around You got the whole world around Something tells me not to make a scene Ah.open up yor heart and let me in You got the whole world around You got the whole world around You got the whole world around You got the whole world around (You got the) got the whole world around (You got the) You got the whole world around (Yeah) You got the whole world around Yeah, open up yor heart and let me in! Don't be...

If you could read my mind love What a tale my thoughts could tell Just like an old time movie 'Bout a ghost from a wishin' well In a castle dark or a fortress strong With chains upon my feet You know that ghost is me. And I will never be set free As long as I'm a ghost you can't see. If I could read your mind love What a tale your thoughts could tell Just like a paperback novel The kind the drugstore sell When you reach the part Where the heartaches come The hero would be me Heroes often fail And you won't need that book again Because the ending's just too hard to take I'd walk away like a movie star Who gets burned in a freeway script Enter number two A movie queen to play the scene Of bringing all the good things out in me But for now love let's be real I never thought I could act this way And I've got to say that I just don't get it I don't know where we went wrong But the feelin's gone and I just can't get it back If you could read my mind love What a tale my thoughts could tell Just like an old time movie 'Bout a ghost from a wishin' well In a castle dark or a fortress strong With chains upon my feet The story always ends And if you read between the lines You'll know that I'm just tryin' to understand The feelings that you lack I never thought I could feel this way And I've got to say that I just don't get it I don't know where we went wrong But the feelin's gone and I just can't get it back.

Softly they fall, where do they go? (Purple snowflakes) Cover the ground, without a sound (gentle snowflakes) Fall from the sky, before your eyes (it's so thrilling) Blankets of white, brighten the night (such a feeling) They seem to say, that our love is here to stay We'll be cozy and warm until summer flowers bloom Here in our midst, we're surely blessed (chestnuts roasting) Over the heat, gee ain't life sweet? (tootsies toasting) Drifting on air, without a care (purple snowflakes) Cover the ground, without a sound (love the snowflakes) As sure as snowflakes, fall from the gloom I will always remember this night here with you Hey, snowflakes, pretty purple snowflakes Snowflakes, pretty purple snowflakes Here in our midst, we're surely blessed (chestnuts roasting) Over the heat, gee ain't life sweet?
