Oooh, ooh, ohh let me tell you now
When I had you to myself, I didn't want you around
Those pretty faces always made you stand out in the crowd.
But someone picked you from the bunch, one glance was all it took.
Now it's much too late for me to take a second look.
Oh baby give me one more chance to show you that I love you
Won't you please let me, back in your heart.
Oh darling, I was blind to let you go, but now since I see you in his arms
(I want you back) Oh, I do now
(I want you back) Ooh, ooh baby
(I want you back) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Trying to live without your love is one long sleepless night
Let me show you girl, that I know wrong from right.
Every street you walk on, I leave tear stains on the ground
Following the girl, I didn't even want around
Let me tell you now, Oh baby, all I need is one more chance.
(To show you that I love you)
Won't you please let me back in your heart
Oh darling I was blind to let you go
But now since I see you in his arms

It's a shame, the way you're messin' around with our man
It's a shame the way you hurt me
It's a shame the way you're messing around with your man
I'm sitting all alone by the telephone waiting for your call, when you don't call at all
It's a shame the way ou're messin' around with your man
It's a shame the way you play with my emotions
It's a shame the way you're messing around with your man
You're like a child out at play on a sunny day
At first you play with love and then you throw it away
*Why do you use me, try to confuse me, how can you stand to be so cruel
Why don't you free me from this prison for I served my time as your fool
It's a shame, the way ou're messin' around with our man
It's a shame, the way you hurt me
It's a shame the way you're messin' around with your man.
I've tried to stay with you, share your love so true
But you won't appreciate the love we tried to make
Oh, it's a got to be a shame (oh yeah)
(*repeat)
Got to be a shame, the way ou mess around with your man,
Oh it's a shame the way you hurt me
Oh it's a shame baby, baby, the way you mess around with your man
You got my heart in chains and I must complain
I just can't keep command, oh, if you're leving now
Oh shame, shame
It's a shame, it's a shame they way your hurt me.
Oh darling got to, got to, got to be a shame oh yeah
It's So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday

*Jimmy Mack, Jimmy, oh Jimmy Mack
When are you coming back?
Jimmy Mack, Jimmy, oh Jimmy Mack
When are you coming back?
My arms are missing you. My lips feel the same way too.
I tried so hard to be true like I promised I'd do
But this boy keeps coming around.
He's trying to wear my resistance down.
(*repeat)
He calls me on the phone about three times a day
Now I'm just listening to what he has to say
But this loneliness I have within is reaching out to be his friend
(*repeat)
Need your loving
Need your loving

COMPLETE MOTOWN ANTHOLOGY, THE (2:29)
Woo ah, mercy mercy me. Ah things ain't what they used to be, no, no
Where did all the blue skies go, poison is the wind that blows from the north and south and east
Woo mercy, mercy me, mercy father
Ah things ain't what they used to be, no no. Oil washed on the ocean and upon our seas, fish full of mercury
Ah oh mercy, mercy me...ah things ain't what they used to be, no no
Radiation under ground and in the sky.
Animals and birds who live near by are dying
Oh mercy, mercy me Ah things ain't what they used to be
What about this over crowded land.
How much more abuse from man can she stand
Oh, na na....My sweet Lord...No, My Lord, my sweet Lord
