If You Asked Me To (Single Version) - Patti LaBelle & Michael McDonald

Used to be that I believed in something Used to be that I believe in love It's been a long time since I've had that feeling I could love someone, I could trust someone I said I'd never let nobody near my heart Again darlin' I said I'd never let nobody in But if you asked me to, I just might change My mind, and let you in my life forever If you asked me to, if just might give my heart And stay here in your arms forever If you asked me to, if you asked me to Some how ever since I've been around you Can't go back to being on my own Can't go help feeling darling since, I've found you, that I've found my home, That I'm finally home I said I'd never let nobody get To close to me darling' I said needed, Needed to be free But if you asked me to, I just might change My mind, and let you in my life forever If you asked me to, if just might give my heart And stay here in your arms forever If you asked me to, if you Ask me to, I will give my world To you baby, I need you now Ask me to when I'll do anything For you baby, for you baby... But if you asked me to, I just might change My mind, and let you in my life forever If you asked me to, if just might give my heart... (If you asked me to) All you gotta do is ask me to I'll give you my world, I'll give you my heart my everthing If you ask me to, all you gotta do, all you gotta do If you ask me to I just might change my mind And let you in my life forever

Used to be that I believed in something Used to be that I believed in love It's been a long time since I've had that feeling I could love someone I could trust someone I said I'd never let nobody near my heart again, darling I said I'd never let nobody in, but If you asked me to I'd just might change my mind And let you in my life forever If you asked me to I'd just might give my heart And stay here in your arms forever If you asked me to If you asked me to Ba-ba-ba-baby, oh, yeah Somehow ever since I've been around you Can't go back to being on my own Can't help feeling darlin' since I've found you That I've found my home That I'm finally home I said I'd never let nobody get too close to me, darling I said I needed, needed to be free But if you asked me to I'd just might change my mind And let you in my life forever If you asked me to I'd just might give my heart And stay here in your arms forever If you asked me to If, if you Ask me to, I will give my world to you, baby I need you now (I need you know) Ask me to, and I'll do anything (anything) For you baby, for you baby (If you asked me to) I'll let you in my life forever (If you asked me to) All you gotta do is ask me to All you gotta do, all you gotta do All you gotta do is ask me to (If you asked me to) I'd give you my world I'd give you my heart Everything, everything baby (If you asked me to) just ask me to I think you can ask me if you wanted to do Just ask me to (If you asked me to) I'd change my mind I'll change my mind

Long ago and far away In my ol' common labor shoes I turned the world all which a way Just because you asked me to. Like unto no other Feel simple love is simple true There's no end to what I'd do Just because you asked me. Let the world call me a fool But if things are right with me and you That's all that matters And I'll do anything you asked me to. Knowing how much I love you And after all that I've been through I'd turn and walk away from you Just because you asked me to. (Lord. I hope you'll never do.) Let the world call me a fool But if things are right with me and you That's all that matters And I'll do anything you asked me to.

Long ago and far away My old common labor shoes I turned the world all which a way Just because you asked me to Likened to no other feel Summer love is simple true There's no end of what I'd do Just because you asked me to Let the world call me a fool (Aah aah aah aah) What if things are right with me and you (Aah aah aah, aah aah aah) That's all that matters and I'll do (Ooh, ooh) Anything you ask me to Knowin' how much I love you After all I've been through I'd turn and walk away from you Just because you asked me to Let the world call me a fool (Aah aah aah aah) What if things are right with me and you (Aah aah aah, aah aah aah) That's all that matters and I'll do (Ooh, ooh) Anything you ask me to Let the world call me a fool (Aah aah aah aah) What if things are right with me and you (Aah aah aah, aah aah aah) That's all that matters and I'll do (Ooh, ooh) Anything you ask me to Let the world call me a fool (Aah aah aah aah) What if things are right with me and you (Aah aah aah, aah aah aah) That's all that matters and I'll do (Ooh, ooh) Anything you ask me to

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
