My World Is Empty Without
You (1/66) (#5)
Available on:
*My world is empty without you babe. My world is empty without you babe. And as I go my way I know I find it hard for me to carry on. I need your strength, I need your tender touch. I need the love my dear, I miss so much (*repeat) From this old world, I tried to hide my face but from this darkness there's no hiding place. Inside this hole, an empty hourse I dwell, with darkness and memories, I know so well. I need love now more than before, I can't finally carry on anymore. (*repeat) My mind and soul have felt like this. since love between us no longer exists. And each time that darkness falls, it finds me alone with these four walls (*repeat and fade).

COMPLETE MOTOWN ANTHOLOGY, THE (2:51)
Through the mirror of my mind, time after time. I see reflections of you and me. *Reflections of, the way it used to be Reflections of the love you took from me. Oh I'm all alone now, no love to share in me. Trapped in a world that's a distorted reality. Happiness you took from me. And left me alone. With only memories. Through the mirror of my mind. Through these tears that I'm crying, Reflects the hurt I can't control. 'Cause although you gone I keep holding on, to those happy times, ooo when you were mine. As I peer through the window of lost time, looking over my yesterdays...and all the love I gave. All is real; all the love that I wasted, all the tears, that I tasted, all again. Through the hollow of my tears I see a dream that lost From hurt that you've caused. Everywhere I turn. Seems like everything i see reflects a love that used to be. In you I placed All my faith and trust. Right before my eyes, my world has turned to dust. I feel all those nights, I sat alone and wept. Just a hand full of promises are all that's left of loving you. (*repeat) (**repeat)

Some Things You Never Get Used
To (7/68)
Available on:
It's the same routine of getting up every morning...And putting on a smile. But underneath there's another person, Who can't find a reason to make living worthwhile. Oh, another day to get through, without the love that once was mine. Sometimes I think my heartaches come to an end and then something brings them all back again...Like wanting you, and not having you, I never get used to. I've gotten used to not listening for familiar sounds you used to make and now I'm trying to get out of the habit of calling your name first thing when I awake, look here. It's like a child's first step, I have to learn to walk all, all over again. 'Cause you were always there if I should fall, and now there's nobody else that I can call, it's like wanting you, and not having you, I'll never get used to. Lost in a crowd, I think I caught a glimpse of you. Gladly I rushed to touch your hand, ha! To discover it's my mind playing tricks on me again. Some things you never get used to...
Sometimes I think my heartaches come to an end, And then something brings them all back again, like wanting you, and not having you, I never get used to. Babe, baby it's wanting you, and not having you I never get used to, Looky here, oh I'm wanting you, and not having you I never get used to...

Someday We'll Be
Together (11/69) (#1 - 1
week)
The song that is most identified as the group's farewell performance was actually recorded nine years earlier by Johnny Bristol with his group, the Tri-Phi. Even in it's last reincarnation, the song's history was such that its rise to the top makes it more amazing. Diana Ross, from all accounts, didn't want to record the song; she was coaxed into singing it by Berry Gordy who asked the song's writer to help "guide" Diana through the song. Unknowingly to both artists, Berry recorded their "demo" and decided to use it in the final release (a scene in the cult movie hit 'Sparkle' was inspired by this). Another factor was the Supremes, Mary and Cindy, were not used in the recording session. Instead, the Waters (Maxine & Julia) were called in to help with the background vocals. The RIAA later acredited Diana Ross with the song (along with 'Love Child') raising Diana's solo #1 hits from 6 to 8. The most infamous incident concerning 'Someday..' was during the taping of the reunion of Diana Ross & the Supremes for the Motown 25 special which resulted in Smoky Robinson inviting the night's performers to the stage, to join the Supremes for the show's finale.

Stop! In The Name Of
Love (3/65)
(#1 - 2 weeks)
Also sung by Kim Weston, Shalamar (Uptown Festival)
Availble on:
Stop! In the name of love, before you break my heart.
Baby, baby, I'm aware of where you go, each time you leave my door
I watch you walk down the street. Knowing your other love you'll meet.
But this time before you run to her, leavin' me alone and hurt.
*(Think it over) After (Haven't) I've been good to you.
(Think it over) After (Haven't) I've been sweet to you.
Stop! In the name of love, before you break my heart.
Stop! in the name of love, before you break my heart.
Think it over, think it over.
I've known of your, your secluded nights. I've even seen her, maybe once or twice.
But is her sweet expression worth more than my loving affection.
This time before you leave my arms. And rush off to her charms.
(*repeat)
I've tried so hard, hard to be patient. Hoping you'll stop this infatuation.
But each time you are together, I'm so afraid of losing you forever
Stop! in the name of love, before you break my heart...think it over, baby...
Stop! In the name of love, before you break my heart (you better think it over)
Ooh, think about me baby

When The Lovelight Starts Shining
Through His Eyes (12/63)
Also sung by: Debbie Boone
Available on:
He gave me the eye, but I just passed him by. I treated him unkind but he didn't seem to mind. I told him be on his way. But not a word did he say. He just stood there kind of bold. While I acted cold. But when the lovelight starts shing through his eyes; made me realize, I should apologize. And when he placed a kiss upon my face, then I knew, oh then I knew that he won my heart. So I quickly apologized, hoping he hadn't changed his mind. But not a word did he say, So I turned to walk away. *But when the lovelight starts shing through his eyes. Made me realize how he felt inside and when he placed a kiss upon my face, **then I knew, oh then I knew that he won my heart. When he asked could he walk my way, I hoped sweet things he'd say. Instead he smiled kind of nice as he held my hand kind of tight. (*repeat) (**repeat) (*repeat)

Baby, baby, baby never leave me, Please don't leave me all by myself. I've got this burning, burning, yearning feeling inside me, ooh, deep inside me and it hurts so bad. You came into my heart so tenderly with a burning love that stings like a bee. Now that I surrender so helplessly. You now wanna leave. You wanna leave me. Baby, baby, where did our love go. Don't you own me, don't you want me no more. Baby, baby, where did our love go? And all of your promises, all my love would ever know. I've got this burning, burning yearning, feeling inside me. ooh, deep inside me, and it hurts so bad. Before you won my heart. You were a perfect guy. But now tht you've got me. You want to leave me behind. Baby, baby, baby don't leave me. Please don't leave me all by myself. Baby, baby, where did our love go?

Available on:
I need love, love to ease my mind. I need to find, find, someone to call mine but Mama said, *'You can't hurry love, no you just have to wait.' She said love don't come easy, it's a game of give and take. You can't hurry love no, you just have to wait. You got to trust give it time. No matter how long it takes. But how many heartaches must I stand. Before I find the love to let me live again. Right now the only thing, that keeps me hanging on when I feel my strength, yeah is almost gone, I remember Mama said... (*repeat) How long must I wait how much more can I take before loneliness will cause my heart heart to break. No I can't bear to live my life alone. I grow impatient for a love to call my own. But when I feel that I, I can't go on. These precious words keep me hanging on, I remember Mama said (*repeat) You can't hurry love, no, you just have to wait. she said just give it time no matter how long it takes, no love, love don't come easy, but I keep on waiting, anticipating, for that soft voice to talk to me at night. For some tender arms to hold me tight. I keep waiting, I keep on waiting, but it ain't easy, it ain't easy My Mama said...You can't hurry love, now you just have to wait. she said give it time no matter how long it takes....

Why do you keep a-comin' around. Playing with my heart. Why don't you get out of my life and let me make a new start. Let me get over you the way you've gotten over me. Hey, set me free.

Now you don't care a thing about me. You're just using me. Go on, get out, get out of my life and let me sleep at night. Please 'cause you don't really love me. you just keep me haingin' on.
