Etta James Album

Oh, oh, I'm so blue
'Cause I'm worried over you
Oh I, I sometimes wonder
Why I never hear from you

You promised to write me
Each and every day
And I haven't heard from you
Since you went away

Oh, oh, I sit by my window pane
Hoping for a letter
One that never came

My heart cries for just one little line
Anything to say you're mine

Oh, oh...

Well I said a prayer
Every night
Hoping, hoping and praying
Someday, someday you'd write

Oh, oh, my heart cries for one little line
Anything to say you're mine

All I need
Is someone like you
My dearest darling
Please~love me to
Within my heart
I pray your answer's yes
I'll make your life
Full of happiness

I'll be there by your side
Oh,I pledge my love to you
With God as our guide..

Unh~my dearest darling
I offer you my heart

Oh, yeah whenever you need me
I'll..I'll be there by your side
Oh~I pledge my love to you
With God as our guide

Oh nothing,nothing,nothing in this world
Can keep us apart
Unh~ my dearest darling
I'm offering you my heart

Unh~my dearest darling...

Trust in me in all you do
Have the faith I have in you
Love will see us through, if only you trust in me
Why don't you trust me?
Come to me when things go wrong

Cling to me daddy and I'll be strong
We can get along, we can get along if only you trust in me
While there's a moon, a moon on high
While there are birds, birds to fly

While there is you, you and II can be sure that I love you...
Stand beside me, stand beside me all the while
Come on daddy face the future, why don't you smile?
Trust in me, and I'll be worthy of you
Why don't you trust in me in all you do?
Have the faith that I have in you

And love will see us through, if only you trust in me
Why don't you come to me, when things go wrong, cling to me and I'll be strong
We can get along, we can get along if only you trust in me...

I want a Sunday kind of love
A love to last past Saturday night
And I’d like to know it’s more than love at first sight
And I want a Sunday kind of love
Oh yea yea

I want a a love that’s on the square
Can’t seem to find somebody
Someone to care
And I’m on a lonely road that leads to no where
I need a Sunday kind of love

I do my Sunday dreaming, Oh yea
And all my Sunday scheming
Every minute, every hour, every day

Oh I’m hoping to discover
A certain kind of lover
Who will show me the way

And my arms need someone
LyricsSomeone to enfold
To keep me warm when Mondays and Tuesdays grow cold
Love for all my life to have and to hold
Oh and I want a Sunday kind of love
Oh yea yea yea

I don’t want a Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday, or Thursday, Friday or Saturday
Oh nothing but Sunday oh yea
I want a Sunday Sunday
I want a Sunday kind of love
Oh yea
Sunday, Sunday, Sunday kind of loooove

(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)
Yeah, that's me
(Tough Mary is tough!)

[Backup]
The boys would come from miles around
With presents every day
But when they'd call on Mary
This is what she'd say

Don't bring me posies
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)
When it's shoes I need
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)
Don't bring me flowers
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)
Don't bring me the sea
(Tough Mary is tough!)
Just bring me diamonds
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)
That'll suit me fine
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)
And I'll love you forever
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)
And you'll be mine
(Tough Mary is tough!)

[Backup]
Well Mary, she's a very pretty girl
I guess she was born that way
But whenever they would tell her that
This is what she'd say

Don't bring me posies
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)
When it's shoes I need
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)
Don't bring me flowers
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)
Don't bring me the sea
(Tough Mary is tough!)
Come on and bring me some diamonds
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)
That'll suit me fine
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)
And I'll love you forever
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)
And you'll be mine
(Tough Mary is tough!)

[Backup]
Tough Mary, Tough Mary, Tough Mary...

Oh, don't bring me posies
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)
When it's shoes I need
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)
Don't bring me flowers
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)
Don't bring me the sea
(Tough Mary is tough!)
Come on and bring me some diamonds
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)
That'll suit me fine
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)
And I'll love you forever
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)
And you'll be mine
(Tough Mary is tough!)

Oh, I'm tough
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)
Yeah, yeah I'm tough
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)
Ooh...

I don't want you to be no slave;
I don't want you to work all day;
But I want you to be true,
And I just wanna make love to you.
...Love to you...
...Love to you...Ooooohhooh...
...Love to you...

All I want to do is wash your clothes;
I don't want to keep you indoors.
There is nothing for you to do
But keep me makin' love to you.
...Love to you...
...Love to you...Ooooohhooh...
...Love to you...
And I can tell by the way you walk that walk;
I can hear by the way you talk that talk;
I can know by the way you treat your girl
That I can give you all the lovin' in the whole wide world!
All I want you to do is make your bread!
Just to make sure you're well-fed!
LyricsI don't want you sad and blue!
And I just wanna make love to you.
...Love to you...
...Love to you...Ooooohhooh...
...Love to you...Ooooh.

And I can tell by the way you walk that walk;
And I can hear by the way you talk that talk;
And I can know by the way you treat your girl
That I could give you all the lovin' in the whole wide world!
Oh, all I wanna do - All I wanna do is cook your bread!
Just to make sure that you're well-fed!
I don't want you sad and blue,
And I just wanna make love to you.
...Love to you...
...Love to you...Ooooohhooh...
...Yeah, love to you...Ooooh.
...Love to you...

At last my love has come along
My lonely days are over
And life is like a song

Ohh yeah yeah
At last
the skies above are blue
My heart was wrapped up in clover
The night I looked at you

I found a dream, that I could speak to
A dream that I can call my own
I found a thrill to press my cheek to
A thrill that I have never known

Ohh yeah yeah…
You smile, you smile
oh And then the spell was cast
And here we are in heaven
For you are mine at last

I heard church bells ring
I heard a choir singing
I saw my love walk down the aisle
on her finger he placed a ring

Ohhhh oh

I saw them holding hands
She was standing there with my man
I heard them promise
Til death do us part
Each word
Was a pain
In my heart
Chorus :
All i could do was cry
All i could do was cry
I was losing the man that i love
and all i could do was cry

And now the wedding is over
Rice, rice has been thrown over their heads
For them life has just begun
but mine is ending

Ohh (chorus)

Don’t know why
There’s no sun up in the sky
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain’t together
Keeps raining all of the time

Oh yeah
Life is bad
Gloom and misery everywhere
Stormy weather, stormy weather
And I just can get my poor self together
Oh I’m weary all of the time
The time, so weary all of the time

When he went away
The blues came in and met me
Oh yeah if he stays away
Old rocking chair's gonna get me
All I do is pray
The Lord will let me
Walk in the sun once more
Lyrics
Oh I can't go on, can't go on, can't go on
Everything I have is gone
Stormy weather, stormy weather
Since my man and I, me and my daddy ain’t together
Keeps raining all of the time
Oh, oh, keeps raining all of the time
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah raining all of the time
Stormy stormy
Stormy weather
Yeah

Boy of my dreams, I love you
Ohh, honest I do
Don't you know that you are so sweet?

Ohh, if I could just hold your charms
Ohh, here in my arms
Boy of my dreams, don't you know it's you?

Since you've been gone, ohh
Life, it don't mean a thing
Please, please, please come back to me
Ohh, ohh

Ohh, if I could just hold your charms
Ohh, here in my arms
Boy of, of my dreams, don't you know it's you?

Ohh, since you, since you've been gone, ohh
Life don't mean a thing
Please, please, please come back to me
Ohh, ohh

Ohh, if I could just, just hold your charms
Ohh, here in my empty arms
Boy of my dreams, don't you know it's you?
Ohh

Nobody, nobody, nobody
Nobody, nobody, nobody but you

I was lost in the world of dreams
Counting every star
Shining overhead it seems

I was like a shepherd boy
Searching for his lamb
Here and there and everywhere

You came, whoa yeah, you captured me
You and all your charms
Oh yes, you set me free

We kissed and the world was ours alone
And my heart cried
Oh, I love you so

Then my heart cried
Oh, I love you so

Then my heart cried
Oh, I love you so
Love you so
Love you so

It could be a spoonful of coffee
It could be a spoonful of tea
But one little spoon of your precious love
Is good enough for me

Men lie about that spoonful
Some cry about that spoonful
Some die about that spoonful
Everybody fight about a spoonful

That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful

It could be a spoonful of water
To save you from the desert sand
But one spoon of love from my forty five
Will save you from another man

Men lie about that spoonful
Some cry about that spoonful
Some die about that spoonful
Everybody fightin' about a spoonful

That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful

It could be a spoonful of sugar
It could be a spoonful of tea
But one little spoon of your precious love
Is good enough for me

Men lie about that spoonful
Some cry about that spoonful
Some die about that spoonful
Everybody fightin' about a spoonful

That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful

[James & Fuqua]
Cry, cryin' shame, shame
Cry, cryin' shame, yeah

[James]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You said you didn't wanna love nobody else
If you wasn't lovin' me, whoa baby
Yeah, don't you know you did me wrong, yeah
You kissed and she let you hold her
No tellin' what you might've told her
But we're through

[James & Fuqua]
Cry, cryin' shame, shame
Cry, cryin' shame, yeah

[Fuqua]
Well, you said you didn't wanna talk to nobody
Unless you was a-talkin' to me, but whoa, ooh yeah
You're talkin' to everybody you see right now, mmm
You smiled and you started winkin'
And I know just what you were thinkin'
Now we're through

[James & Fuqua]
If you believe in a better world, a destiny
A-turnin' back the hands of time
Baby if our love was meant to be
Oh we'll get together further on down the line
But for now it's a cryin' shame, shame
But for now it's a cryin' shame, yeah

[James]
Yeah, you said you didn't wanna be smackin' on nobody else
If you wasn't kissin' me
But you, you, you, you
You kiss everybody you see
You did it, forget it, admit it, let's quit it
Yeah yeah, we're through

[Fuqua]
You lied, you cheated
And I'm getting so doggone tired of being mistreated
Now we're through

[James & Fuqua]
Cry, cryin' shame, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Cry, cryin' shame, whoo, oh yes mam, now right now
Cry, cryin' shame, cry cry cry cry cry
Cry, cryin' shame

I don't want nobody
If i can't have you
oh i can't love nobody
unless i'm loving you

chorus:
the way you hug me
the way you squeeze me
the way you kiss me
ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya
if i can't have you

i can't talk to nobody
unless i'm talking to you
i don't wanna hold nobody

chorus

unless i'm bothered with you

chorus
