I know what's on your mind
You feel you're wasting time
Wanna talk about it?
You feel there's something wrong
Don't feel like holding on
You better think about it
You say you just can't see
Don't lay that hurt on me
What I'm trying baby
Got something on my mind
Something I've got to find
I'm on the move baby

(Chorus)
You see I (can't slow down)
Got to keep movin' baby (can't slow down)
No I (can't slow down)
Oh (can't slow down)
Got to keep movin' on, oh baby

I'm out here on the run
Trying to get things done
Can you hear me baby?
You think my love's nowhere
You think I just don't care
Are you kidding baby?
Don't make me play no games
To hard to just stay sane
You know that time won't wait
Why should I hesitate
Got to do it baby

(Chorus)
You see I (can't slow down)
I got to keep movin' baby (can't slow down)
No I (can't slow down)
Can't stop baby, No (can't slow down)
Got to keep pushin'
Got to keep movin' on
Oh, oh baby, Ah, Oh, Oh baby, Ugh

(Bridge)
I'm working hard tryin' to pull it together
You know I've got to right now
'Cause girl I can't quit once I get started,
I've got to make it somehow ...

Ah, (I got to keep movin', I can't stop movin')
(I got to keep movin', I can't stop)
(I got to keep movin', I can't stop movin')
(I got to keep movin', I can't stop)
Oh, (I got to keep movin', I can't stop movin')
(I got to keep movin', I can't stop)
That's right (I got to keep movin', I can't stop movin')
That's right (I got to keep movin', I can't stop)
That's right

(Can't slow down)
(Can't slow down)
(Can't slow down)
Oh, (can't slow down)
(Can't slow down)
(Can't slow down)
Baby
Oh girl I'm all fired up
Oh girl I'm all fired up
Just can't get enough, girl of it, Ah
Girl I'm on the one, 'cause I keep on keepin' on
Oh yeah, Oh
You see I (can't slow down)
Got to keep movin' baby (can't slow down)
No, No I (can't slow down)
Got to keep movin' baby, Oh (can't slow down)
Ooh, just (can't slow down)
(Can't slow down)
Can't stop baby (can't slow down)
Ooh, alright (can't slow down)
Ah running, (can't slow down)
Running running baby (can't slow down)
Ooh, (can't slow down)
Got to keep movin' (can't slow down)
Ooh yeah girl (can't slow down)

Well, my friends, the time has come
To raise the roof and have some fun
Throw away the work to be done
Let the music play on
(Play on, play on)
Everybody sing, everybody dance
Lose yourself in wild romance

Karamu, fiesta, forever
Come on and sing along!

People dancing all in the street
See the rhythm all in their feet

Feel it in your heart
And feel it in your soul
Let the music take control
We're going to party
Liming, fiesta, forever
Come on and sing my song!
All night long! (all night)
All night long! (all night)

(Lionel Richie, Brenda Harvey-Richie)

Penny lover, don't walk on by
Penny lover, don't you make me cry
Can't you see girl, who my heart's beating for
You're the only girl that I adore

The first time I saw you
Oh, you looked so fine
And I had a feeling
One day you'd be mine
Honey you came along and captured my heart
Now my love is somewhere lost in your kiss
When I'm all alone it's you that I miss
Girl a love like yours is hard to resist
Oh, Oh, Ooh, Ooh, Oh

Penny lover, my love's on fire
Penny lover, you're my one desire
Tell me baby could this be true
That I could need someone, like I need you

Nights warm and tender
Lying next to you
Girl I surrender
Oh, what more can I do
I've spent all of my life in search of your love
Now there's one more thing I'd like to say
Don't you ever take your sweet love away
Girl I'll do anything, just please stay
Oh, Oh

(Bridge)
I don't understand it, Oh what's come over me
But I'm not gonna worry, no not anymore
'Cause when a man's in love, he's only got one story
That's why my love is somewhere lost in your kiss
When I'm lost and alone it's you that I miss
With a love like yours, it's hard to resist
Ooh, Ooh, Oh

(Begin Fade)
Penny lover, don't you walk on by (don't you walk on by)
Penny lover, don't you make me cry (don't you make me cry baby)
Penny lover, don't you walk on by (don't you walk on by)
Penny lover, don't you make me cry (Oh penny baby)
Penny lover, don't you walk on by (don't you walk on by)
I remember the first time I saw you baby
Penny lover, don't you make me cry
You had the look in your eye, you had the look in your eye, Yeah, Yeah
Ooh pretty baby
I just wanted to reachout and touch you baby
I just want to reach out and hold ya, I want to reach out and say Ooh, Ooh
Don't make me cry
I wanna talk about you everyday (Penny lover)

. . .



Stuck on you
I've got this feeling down
Deep in my soul
That I just can't lose
Guess, I'm on my way
Needed a friend
And the way I feel now I guess
I'll be with you till the end
Guess I'm on my way
Mighty glad you stayed
I'm stuck on you
Been a fool too long I guess
It's time for me to come on home
Guess I'm on my way
So hard to see
That a woman like you could wait
Around for a man like me
Guess I'm on my way
Mighty glad you stayed
Oh, I'm leaving on that midnight train
And I know just where I'm going
I've packed up my troubles
And I've thrown them all away
Because this time little darlin'
I'm coming home to stay

I'm stuck on you
I've got this feeling down
Deep in my soul
That I just can't lose
Guess, I'm on my way
Needed a friend
And the way I feel now I guess
I'll be with you till the end
Guess I'm on my way

. . .



Are you feeling down, and lonely.
Feeling like you can't go on.
Just remember love will find a way.

Tell me are you going through changes.
Time seems like it's passing by.
Just believe that love will find a way.

(bridge)
I see the tears you cry.
I see the pain that's in your eyes.
So many times you were so lonely.
And no one seemed to care.
But if your hopes, for your tomorrows.
Are drowning in your sorrows.
Know your heart will show you the way.

Are you trying to find a beginning.
Or something just to hold on to.
Always know that love will find a way.

Is it hard this life you're living.
Does the world seem so unkind.
Don't you worry love will find a way.

(bridge)
Some say we've lost, our way.
Some say the world has gone astray.
But if you know where you're going.
There's nothing you can't do.
'Cause problems will come.
And they will leave you.
The world will try to deceive you.

. . .



Let me tell you now
All that's on my mind.
For a love like yours.
Is oh, so very hard to find.
I've looked inside myself.
now I'm very sure.
There can only be, you for me.
I need you more and more....

(chorus)
You, turned me inside out and you showed me.
what life was about.
Only you, the only one that stole my heart away.
I wanna do all I can, just to show you.
Make you understand.
Only you, the only one that stole my heart away.

When you're in my arms.
When I'm close to you.
There's a magic in your touch.
That just comes shining through.
Want you everyday.
Want you every night.
There can only be, you for me.
You make it seem so right.
Oh, girl, cause.....

(chorus)
You, turned me inside out and you showed me.
What life was about.
Only you, the only one that stole my heart away.

In my mind, there's no other love.
You're the only girl my heart and soul is thinking of.
Only you, only me.
There can never ever be another.
That understands the way that I feel inside, 
Cause....

(chorus)
You,turned me inside out and you showed me.
What life was about.
Only you, the only one that stole my heart away.
Yeah, you, turned me inside out and you showed me
What life was about.
Only you, the only one that stole my heart away.

(you stole my heart away)
You stole it. (you stole my heart away)
Only you, the only one that stole my heart away.
Yeah you, (you stole my heart away)
Oh you stole it, ( you stole my heart away)
Only you, the only one that stole my heart away.
You stole my heart away.
stole it, (you stole my heart away)

. . .



The heart of the city street was beating
Lights from the neons
Turned the dark to day
We were too hot to think of sleeping
We had to get out
Before the magic got away
We were running with the night
Playing in the shadows
Just you and I
Till the morning light
(We were running) oh, oh
Running with the night
You were looking so good girl
Heads were turning
You and me on the town
Ooh, we let it all hang out
The fire was in us, we were running
We were gonna go all the way
And we never had a doubt
We were running with the night
Playing in the shadows
Just you and I
Till the morning light
Running with the night
We were so in love you and me
On the boulevard wild and free
Giving all we got, we laid it down
Taking every shot, we took the town
We were running with the night
Playing in the shadows
Just you and I
Girl, it was so right

. . .



I've been alone with you
Inside my mind
And in my dreams I've kissed your lips
A thousand times
I sometimes see you
Passing outside my door
Hello!
Is it me you're looking for?
I can see it in your eyes
I can see it in your smile
You're all I've ever wanted
And my arms are open wide
Because you know just what to say
And you know just what to do
And I want to tell you so much
I love you

I long to see the sunlight in your hair
And tell you time and time again
How much I care
Sometimes I feel my heart will overflow
Hello!
I've just got to let you know
Because I wonder where you are
And I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely?
Or is someone loving you?
Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven't got a clue
But let start by saying I love you

Hello!
Is it me you're looking for?
Because I wonder where you are
And I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely?
Or is someone loving you?
Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven't got a clue
