Drowning in the Sea of Love

Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff

Wings

Richard Starkey and Vini Poncia

If I had the wings of an eagle,
Over these broken dreams I will fly.
If I could be shot like an arrow.
Straight to you, in your arms I will lie.
Don't you know I love you?
Don't you know I love you so?

If I had the strength of a lion,
There'd be no one to keep us apart.
And if I was to crack just like thunder,
I would shout what I feel in my heart.
Don't you know I love you?
Don't you know I need you so?

Need you so much,
The melody's coming in clear. (so clear)

And with your touch,
The music keeps going around and around in my ears.

All right!

Don't you know I love you?
Don't you know I need you so?

If I had to live life without you,
I'd be lost like a ship in the night.
Your love never gave me no warning,
Like a bird I was shot down in flight.
Don't you know I love you?
Don't you know I love you so?

Gave It All Up

Richard Starkey and Vini Poncia

Me and Billy were a couple of kids,
Nobody knew about the things that we did.
Sharing our toys and riding our bikes,
We thought it would last for the rest of our lives.

But we gave it all up,
We gave it all up,
We gave it all up for school.

Then my fam'ly had to move out of town,
Made some new friends and started hangin' around.
Started stealing like the rest of the guys,
My friend got caught, I saw the fears in his eyes.

So I gave it all up,
I gave it all up,
I gave it all up for love.

She was eighteen and I topped her by one,
She said she's heard about the bad things I've done.
But she loved me and she just didn't care,
But one night she needed me and I wasn't there.

So she gave me right up, (gave me right up)
She gave me right up, (gave me right up)
She gave me right up for love.

As I look back and wonder,
Have I wasted my time?
Will I ever learn the meaning of life,
Will I learn it in time.

So I sit here with a couple of beers,
Wondering how I've lasted all of these years.
You're beside me and it's feeling so right,
How I'd like to thank you for the rest of my life.

'Cause I gave it all up, (gave it all up)
I gave it all up, (gave it all up)
I gave it all up for you.

Gave it all up,
I gave it all up,
I gave it all up for you.

(All for you, gave it all up for you) gave it all up for you,
(All for you, gave it all up for you) so I gave it all up for you,
(All for you, gave it all up for you) gave it all up for you,
(All for you, gave it all up for you) so I gave it all up for you.
(All for you, gave it all up for you)

(All for you, gave it all up for you)

Out on the Streets

Richard Starkey and Vini Poncia

I woke up this evenin' and my head was reelin'
Nothing was happenin', I had no feelin'
I knew that I had to be out on the streets
Out on the street

Got in my car, lookin' for action
Blew right down Broadway, got no reaction
Two cops were following me out on the street
Out on the street

Got out of my car and I started walkin'
I met some ladies and we started talkin'
That's why I'm so glad to be out on the street
Out on the street

I'm spending my money, taking my chances
Going to clubs, doin' new dances
Watchin' the fire on my feet out on the street
Out on the street

Well, night time is fadin', I jumped off my motor
Somebody told me to try the Dakota
They're just like two people you'll meet out on the street
Out on the street

They're just like Vinni and me
Out on the street
Woah! out on that street!

Spoken


Hey, I was walkin' down the street and you know what this guy said
He says, "hey man", he says "i want that watch!"
I said "what? you want *this* watch?"
He said "yeah! I want that watch!"
I said "well, you watch this, cause I'm gonna stomp on your f--kin' head!"
And you know what he said to me?
He said, "hey baby, I'm gonna stick this knife right up your nose!"
I said "well, I don't mind as there's something on the end of it...".

Can She Do It Like She Dances

Steve Duboff and Gerry Robinson

Sneaking Sally Through the Alley

Allen B. Toussaint

It's No Secret

Richard Starkey and Vini Poncia

Lately, I've been so crazy,
I wanna talk to you,
I need to talk to you.

And lately, you ain't my baby,
I want a word with you, (I want a word with you)

A moment alone with you.

'Cause you, you were a part of my heaven, my shining star.
And now, I look at you and I wonder just who you are.

It's no secret,
What your love, (what your love) what your love is doing to me
It's no secret,
That your love, (that your love) that your love, that your love is killing me.

(Oo - oo)
(Oo - oo)

Lately, I've been so lonely,
I need a smile from you, (I need a smile from you)

Something to pull me through.

But we know, love can be mellow,
If we can just talk it through, (we can just talk it through)

It's gonna feel brand new. (feel brand new)

'cause you, you were a part of my heaven, my shining star.
And now, I look at you and I wonder just where we are.

It's no secret,
What your love, (what your love) what your love is doing to me
And it's no secret,
How your love, (how your love) how your love, how your love is hurting me.
(how your love is hurting, how your love is hurting)

It's no secret,
What your love has meant for me.
And it's no secret,
What your love, what your love is doing to me.

It's no secret,
That your love is hurting me.
And it's no secret,
That your love, that your love is killing me.

It's no secret,
How your love is hurting me.

Gypsies in Flight

Richard Starkey and Vini Poncia

Leaving again,
I don't know where or when we'll meet again.

Gypsies in flight,
I look into your eyes and see gypsies in flight.

I see your face
In ev'ryone who passes, can't take your place.

With some regrets,
Our affair has ended but who can forget?

Gypsies in flight,
I look into your eyes and see gypsies in flight.

I'd like to thank you
For spending time with me.
And when the morning comes,
I know you must be free.

Leaving again,
I don't know where or when we'll meet again.

Gypsies in flight,
I look into your eyes and see gypsies in flight.

Gypsies in flight, (gypsies in flight)

I look into your eyes and see gypsies in flight.

Gypsies in flight,
Gypsies in flight.

Simple Love Song

Richard Starkey and Vini Poncia

Oh my, I'm riding so high,
I keep telling myself that you love me.
Oh my, I'm up in the sky,
But I still see you so far above me.

Cheap thrills, well, I've had my fill,
They just empty your heart and your pocket.
Oo-wee, well, it's good to be
Riding your love like a rocket.

Well, I hope you understand,
But now I'm just a one woman man.
Before the sun goes down,
Ooh, I wanna see you,
Ooh, I wanna see you again.

Right now, I still wonder how,
I keep asking myself am I dreaming?
We two, it's just me and you,
You have given this song a new meaning.

Well, I hope you understand,
But now I'm just a one woman man.
Before the sun goes down,
Ooh, I wanna see you,
Ooh, I wanna see you again.

Right now!

(doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo, it's a simple love song)
(doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo, it's a simple love song)

(mm-mm-mm, simple love song)
(mm-mm-mm, simple love song)

We two, it's just me and you,
Keep on wearing my love like a locket.
Sweet thing, well, I buy a new ring,
If that's what it takes, then you got it.
