I'm So Proud/Dedicated to the One I Love
. . .


Got the heebie jeebies
Got the shakes
And I got a funny feelin'
That you got just what it takes
And oh yeah
Maybe baby
Maybe baby
I'm fallin' in love

Gee you make me lovesick
That's for sure
And I got a funny feelin'
I don't wanna find a cure
And oh yes
Maybe baby
Maybe baby
I'm fallin' in love

I don't need a doctor
Need no pills
And I got a funny feelin'
And the fever
And the chills
And oh yes
yes
yes
Maybe baby
I'm fallin' in love

. . .


There's peace of mind
Now that I draw the line
Will you be runnin' out of fools
My love's got new rules
This time

Because friends & lovers
Could give the sun to each other
Not this rain
I was a foolish girl
Now I'm a woman of the world
Wisdom be mine
It's been a hard lesson
But I'm movin' up in school
Where you learn to play it cool
And I just know this time

That friends & lovers
Could give the sun to each other
Not this pain
I was a foolish girl
Now baby I'm a woman
of the world

A woman of the world
I'm free free free
My love's no competition
It's about - harmony

Sweet harmony
I'll take my dream into the future
I'd only bring it back again
This time as friends

Friends and lovers
Who give the sun to each other
Not this rain
If I was a foolish girl
Baby now
I'm a woman of the world

. . .


Lighten up
Baby
On my love
Lighten up
Like summer & ices
And stars above

This Month'll soon be gone
These blues linger on
It's the time of the month

So lighten up
Baby
Tonite
Tell me a joke
Make sure it's funny
By the bedroom lite

Baby don't look at me like Freud
That could create a void
And get you thrown out
My love
'Cause every day
I'm waiting for Luna Rosé

I've been waiting
For Luna Rosé to Descend
To bring it on again
These blues are serious
I feel delirious

Ooh yeah dddd dip
Lighten up baby
Ooh yeah
This month'll soon be gone
These blues linger on
And every day
I'm waiting for Luna Rosé
Waiting for Luna Rosé
I'm waiting for Luna Rosé

Celebrate the holiday
Life is for givin'
You Belong
To the livin'
Sister
Brother
Are we born to learn the art of love?
Heart & soul
Body & mind
Mother earth to stars above
Oh
Happy holiday with love
Shelter from the storm
There but for fortune...
You & I belong to one world
One address S.O.S
Hear that love message all around the world -
"Love not war
Let peace shine for every boy & girl"
Child with a dove
Vision of
A happy holiday with love
"Peace on earth from Tibet"
"Peace on earth from Iraq"
"Peace on earth from Israel"
"From Africa" "from Jamaica"
"Fron America" "from cuba"
"Peace on earth from Italy" -

Sister
Brother
Are we born to learn the art of love?
Love not war
Let peace shine for the earth
Child with a dove
Vision of
A happy holiday
Happy holiday with love

In the zoo
They gave him a cage
Circus put a sparkle
On his face
Away from life
The elephant walks
Shadow across a dream
Lost for ivory
Oh freedom
Lite a flame

It's like prejudice
For the color of your skin
Prejudice for a woman
Prejudice for an animal
Like the elephant of the plain

Masai moon
In the morningrise

Africa -
The world comes alive
A matriarch
Leads the tribe
To the sweet water
The cool feelin'
And the way to survive

Oh freedom
Lite a flame

It's like prejudice
For the color of your skin
Prejudice for a woman
Prejudice for an animal
Like the elephant of the plain

Of the plain
For greed not need
Societies sleep
Lead the killing hand on

Young ones full of spark
A wave of birds across the park
Kids climbing
Sliding, riding free
Elephant child hiding
Behind a tree

Prejudice
For an animal
Like the elephant of the plain

. . .


Sappho was a poet
Billie was a real musician
Frida drew the moon
I'm going by Louise's Church
She built in the city
Art of grace & style
That could make me smile
Talk to me
Goddess of life & music
Shine on me awhile

Sappho was a poet
Billie was a real musician
Frida drew the moon
The candle at Louise's Church
Lite it for your vision
For the changes
To save the planet of ages
Talk to us
Heavenly Muse
Shine on us awhile

. . .


The old people of the earth
Tell stories
An old woman
Of the old ways
She said -
"I recall my joy
In better days"
The young warriors
Of the open rainbow
Said "Tell me is it true?
Tell me, do some live
out of bags and rags
In the cities too?
Is it true?"
At the edge where I live
Home sweet home
America

Native American Nation
Caught in the devastation
An endless situation
What can I do?
The ghost of prejudice
Cuts thru the moonglow
Poet on a crying page -
Broken Rainbow

Broken Rainbow
Home sweet home
America

. . .


Gonna make my livin'
Independence
Walkin' with the gypsies
They call it 'that ribbon of highway'
Gonna buy a house
Make it a home
Another mile
A shot of coffee
Take my sugar
On the phone -

"Child of mine
I'm headin' for the city line
Oo Walk the dog & light the light
I'll see you Sunday
'Cause I'm workin' on Saturday nite"

They make their livin'
Their independence
Dawn thru moonlight
On both sides
Of that ribbon of highway
A melting pot
They come from all over
Thru down south
Pacific rim
Northern snow
And east thru autumn
Are you fine?
My love
Mama's headin' for the city line
Oo Run the dog
Darlin' light the light
I'll see you Sunday
'Cause I'm workin' on Saturday nite

See you Sunday 'cause
I'm workin' on Saturday
Nite -

Operator
Take this precious dime
Precious time
Mama's headin' for the city
the city, the city line

Oo In my heart
I will light the light
And see you Sunday
'Cause I'm workin' on Saturday nite

See you Sunday
'Cause I'm singin' on Saturday

What is life?
Did you read about it
In a magazine?
Silent lies
Never give you what you need
Is there hope
For a mother
And an elf on speed?
Kiss the sun hello
Child in the park
Make your life a lovin' thing
I'm so tired
You're so wired
And I'm a poet
Without a poem
And you are my child

"So serene"
Read about us in a magazine
Then why are we
Crying by the washing machine?
Let's run away child
And follow a dream

Kiss the sun hello
Child in the park
Make your life a lovin' thing
The park is late
The wind is strong
The trees have eyes
And you are my song
My lovely song

What is love?
Child I am here
to stand by you
And you will find
You own way hard and true
And I'll find mine
'Cause I'm growin' with you

Kiss the sun hello
God & Goddess
Make his life a lovin' thing
And if I smile as you reach
above the climbin' bars
To see the stars
You are my love
Child my love

. . .

I'm So Proud/Dedicated to the One I Love
