Here I Am (Come And Take Me)

I can`t believe that it`s real
The way that you make me feel
A burning deep down inside
A love that I cannot hide

I know it`s you and me babe
That makes the world go round
Ah keeping you in love with me baby
Laying all my troubles down

(Chorus)

Here I am babe, come and take me
Here I am babe, wont ya come and take me
Take me by the hand, ooh show me
Here I am babe, oooooaaah

It always ends up this way
Me begging you every day
A love that I cannot have
You broke my heart in two halves

Ooh I know it`s you and me babe
That makes the world go round
Ah keeping you in love with me baby
Laying all my troubles down

(Chorus)

Here I am babe, come and take me
Here I am babe, wont ya come and take me
Take me by the hand, ooh show me
Here I am babe, oooooaaah

Repeat Chorus


Tears from me eyes


Tears from my eyes keep on falling
'cause you are leaving, leaving with another
Things that we've done together
I'll always remember though you're with another, baby.

I've done everything one man can do, girl
Said every word one man can say
The thing that we had has gone astray, girl
I'm missing you from day to day.


Groovin'

I get my kicks from watching people
Running too and fro
And if you ask them where they`re going
Half of the don`t know
They`re the ones who think I`m crazy
But they don`t realize

(Chorus)

That I`m just groovin, groovin
Grooving out on life
I`m just groovin ooh grovin
Grovin till I die

I see a river flowing by me
Heading for the sea
I get a feeling deep inside me
It`s so good to be free
I`ve got sunshine in the daytime
And moonlight every night
And I`m just groovin ......

(Middle Eight)

I see a river flowing by me
Heading for the sea
I get a feeling deep inside me
It`s so good to be free
I`ve got sunshine in the daytime
And moonlight every night
And I`m just groovin ......

(Chorus)

That I`m just groovin, groovin
Grooving out on life
I`m just groovin ooh grovin
Grovin till I die


The Way You Do The Things You Do


You got a smile so bright
You know you could have been a candle
I`m holding you so tight
You know you could have been a handle
The way you swept me off my feet
You know you could`ve been a broom
And babe you smell so sweet
You know you could`ve been some perfume

(Chorus)

Well you could of been anything that you wanted to
I can tell
The way you do the things you do

As pretty as you are
You know you could`ve been a flower
If good looks were minutes
You know you could have been an hour
The way you stole my heart
You know you could have been a crook
And baby your so smart
You know you could have been a school book

(Chorus)

Well you could of been .......(Etc)

You make my life so rich
You know you could`ve been some money
And baby you`re so sweet
You know you could have been some honey

(Chorus)

Well you could of been .......(Etc)

As pretty as you are
You know you could`ve been a flower
If good looks were minutes
You know you could have been an hour
The way you stole my heart
You know you could have been a crook
And baby your so smart
You know you could have been a school book

(Chorus)

Well you could of been .......(Etc)


Kingston Town

The night seems to fade,
But the moonlight lingers on
There are wonders for everyone
The stars shine so bright,
But they`re fading after dawn
There is magic in Kingston Town

(chorus)

Oh Kingston Town,
The place I long to be
If I had the whole world
I would give it away
Just to see, the girls at play
Ooh, ooh, ooh

And when I am king,
surely I would need a queen
And a palace and everything, yeah
And now I am king,
And my queen will come at dawn
She`ll be waiting in Kingston Town

(Chorus)

Oh Kingston Town,
The place I long to be
If I had the whole world
I would give it away
Just to see, the girls at play
Ooh, ooh, ooh

And when I am king,
surely I would need a queen
And a palace and everything, yeah
And now I am king,
And my queen will come at dawn
She`ll be waiting in Kingston Town


Baby

Baby be true and I`ll give my love to you,
I need you baby.
Treat me right and I`ll love you day and night,
I mean it baby.

When you`re down I`ll be around,
To guide you baby.
When you`re free just call on me, baby.
I`ll give my heart to you , now babe.

I`m gonna wear you to the ball tonight
Put on your best dress tonight

So be wise and be changing, put on your best

Homely Girl

It must have broke your poor little heart
When the boys used to say,
you looked better in the dark.
But now they`d give all they learnt in school
To be somewhere in the dark with you

The teacher would ask the questions
And you, would always raise your hand
But somehow you never got your turn
And my eyes would fill with water, inside I`d burn

(Chorus)

Homely girl, you used to be so lonely
You`re a beautiful woman oh yes you are
Homely girl you used to be so lonely
You`re a beautiful woman oh yeah

There was a boy who used to sit beside you
Who`d like to hold that place his whole life through
Oooh you were beautiful to me
You had a heart no one could ever see, oh yes you did

(Chorus)

Homely girl, you used to be so lonely
You`re a beautiful woman oh homely girl

I was the only one who offered
To carry your books
Took all the stares and laughter
And the dirty looks
Cause I saw then what they see now
They all want to ask you for a date
They don`t know how, they don`t know how

(Chorus)

Homely girl, you used to be so lonely
You`re a beautiful woman oh yeah
Homely girl you used to be so lonely
You`re a beautiful woman, ooh yea, ooh hoo
You`re a beautiful woman


Impossible Love

When we were together
Those were the happiest time in all my life
Now were separated I don`t know what I will do
`Cause I can`t ever love another
No matter how hard I try
`Cause I know. It`s impossible

Where ever you may be
I hope you`ll hear my song
Then maybe you`ll realise
My love that you were wrong

`Cause I can`t ever love another
No matter how hard I try
`Cause I know. It`s impossible

The sunset outside my window
Has lost all it`s glow
The rose in the garden
Doesn`t bloom any more
