Just to Keep You Satisfied - Randy Crawford

It was early in the morning, the first day of the week I couldn't face the faces in my personality Maybe I'll be stronger, maybe I'm a freak Maybe I'll be faithful even if I was a cheat I said, "La-la, la-la, la-la" Angels falling by your side La-la, la-la, la-la Just to keep you satisfied Oh, honey, honey, honey, breakin' through the seams Stickin' to the ceiling by the bottoms of our feet Later in the summer, I sit beside the sea I'm lookin' at your picture and it's lookin' back at me I said, "Oh, la-la, la-la, la-la" Angels falling by your side La-la, la-la, la-la Just to keep you satisfied La-la, la-la, la-la La-la, la-la, la-la Just to keep you satisfied La-la, la-la, la-la Angels falling by your side La-la, la-la, la-la Just to keep you satisfied Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh I'll keep you satisfied I'll keep you satisfied

You were my wife, my life, my hopes and dreams For you to understand what this means, I shall explain I stood all the jealousy, all the bitchin' too Yes, I'd forget it all once in bed with you Ooo darling how could we end up like this? Oh baby let me reminisce Oh and when we, woo, we stopped the hands of time You set my soul on fire, my one desire Was to love you and think of you with pride And keep you satisfied, oh baby oh baby We could not bear the mental strain Leave you? I never meant to Now you see how much you hurt me But if you ever need me, I'll be by your side Though the many happy times we had Can never really outweigh the bad Oh I'll never love nobody like I loved you baby Now it's time for us to say farewell, farewell my darlin' Maybe we'll meet down the line It's too late for you and me, it's too late for you and I Much too late for you to cry It's too late for you and me, much too late for you and I It's too late for you and me, much too late for you to cry baby Ah we tried, God knows we tried Now it's too late to live and love and ah it's too late baby It's too late for you and me, much too late for you to cry Oh oh ohhh it's much too late Well, all we can do is, we can both try to be happy

Gee, but it's great to be back home Home is where I wanna be I've been on the road so long, my friend And if you came along, I know you couldn't disagree It's the same old story, yeah Everywhere I go, I get slandered, libeled I hear words I never heard in the Bible And I'm one step ahead of the shoe shine Two steps away from the county line I'm just trying to keep my customer satisfied, satisfied Deputy sheriff said to me "Tell me, what you come here for, boy You better get your bags and flee You're in trouble, boy, and now you're heading into more" It's the same old story Everywhere I go, I get slandered, libeled I hear words I never heard in the Bible And I'm one step ahead of the shoe shine Two steps away from the county line Just trying to keep my customer satisfied, satisfied But it's the same old story Everywhere I go I get slandered, libeled I hear words I've never heard in the Bible And I'm so tired I'm oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, so tired But I'mtrying to keep my customer satisfied, satisfied Alright

Just to be with you Just to be with you There is nothing I wouldn't do Just to be with you. I'd climb a mountain or sail the seas I'd go a thousand miles upon my knees I'd find a rainbow and take it from the sky I'll be a slave till the day I die. I'll build a castle like those of old And I would fill it with lots of gold I'd find the writings of what's supposed to be I'll count the stars in the galaxy.

If you disrespect anybody that you run in to How in the world do you think anybody's s'posed to respect you If you don't give a heck 'bout the man with the bible in his hand Just get out the way, and let the gentleman do his thing You the kind of gentleman that want everything your way Take the sheet off your face, boy, it's a brand new day Respect yourself, respect yourself If you don't respect yourself Ain't nobody gonna give a good cahoot, na na na na Respect yourself, respect yourself If you're walking 'round think'n that the world owes you something cause You're here you goin' out the world backwards like you did when you Put your hand on your mouth when you cough, that'll help the solution Oh, you cuss around women and you don't even know their names and you Dumb enough to think that'll make you a big ol man

Memories serve, only to show What came before, wouldn't have grown Maybe the past, has brought me to this Maybe this time, love will be missed I hear my heart calling for you And I believe you feel it too I want something permanent, like the stars in the sky Permanent, like the mountain high Permanent, as time goes by, I want something I can count on Permanent, like the sun and the rain Permanent, like a burning flame Permanent, I'll say it again I want something that won't change Respecting yourself, reaching down deep That's how I'll find, a love so complete It became clear, the very, very first time It's more than a dream, that you could be mine I hear my heart calling for you and I believe you feel it, too I want something permanent, like the stars in the sky Permanent, like the mountain high Permanent, as time goes by, I want something I can count on Permanent, like the sun and the rain Permanent, like a burning flame Permanent, I'll say it again, say it again, say it again I want something that will never change What's my only way, I could never say that I don't feel the same You've brought me somewhere I can feel safe Don't you feel it, don't you feel it I want something, say it again, say it again Like the stars in the sky Like the mountain high, as time goes by I want something that will never change I can count on, like the stars in the sky Permanent I'll say it again, I want something that will never change I want something permanent, yes I do Permanent, yes I do, gonna say it again, say it again Permanent, like a burning flame, like the sun and rain I want something that won't change

No! No regrets No! I will have no regrets All the things That went wrong For at last I have learned to be strong No! No regrets No! I will have no regrets For the grief doesn't last It is gone I've forgotten the past And the memories I had I no longer desire Both the good and the bad I have flung in a fire And I feel in my heart That the seed has been sown It is something quite new It's like nothing I've known No! No regrets No! I will have no regrets All the things that went wrong For at last I have learned to be strong No! No regrets No! I will have no regrets For the seed that is new It's the love that is growing for you

What's it all about, Alfie Is it just for the moment we live What's it all about when you sort it out, Alfie Are we meant to take more than we give Or are we meant to be kind And if only fools are kind, Alfie Then I guess it is wise to be cruel And if life belongs only to the strong, Alfie What will you lend on an old golden rule As sure as I believe There's a heaven above, Alfie, I know there's something much more Something even non-believers can believe in I believe in love, Alfie Without true love we just exist, Alfie Until you find the love you've missed, you're nothing, Alfie When you walk, let your heart lead the way And you'll find love any day, Alfie Alfie

She only smiles He only tells her That she's the flowers The wind And spring In all her splendour Sweetly surrendering The love That innocence brings Almaz Pure and simple Born in a world Where love survives Now men will want her 'Cause life don't haunt her Almaz You lucky, lucky thing Now I watch closely And I watch wholly I can't imagine Love so rare She's young and tender But will life bend her I look around Is she everywhere? Almaz Pure and simple Born in a world Where love survives Now men will want her 'Cause life don't haunt her Almaz You lucky, lucky thing He throws her kisses She shares his wishes I'm sure he's keen Without a doubt With love so captive So sorely captive I ask if I could play the part Almaz Pure and simple Born in a world Where love survives Now men will want her 'Cause life don't haunt her Almaz You lucky, lucky thing Almaz You lucky, lucky thing Almaz You lucky, lucky thing
