Lionel Richie Album

What is happening here?
Something is going on
That's not quite clear
Somebody turn on the light
We're gonna have a party
It's starting tonight

Oh, what a feeling!
When we're dancing on the ceiling
The room is hot...that's good
some of my friends came
By from the neighbourhood
People were starting
To climb the walls
Ooh, it looks like everybody
Is having a ball

Everybody starts to lose control
When the music is right
If you see somebody hanging around
Don't get up right
The only thing we wanna do tonight
Is go round and round
and turn upside down
Come on, let's get down

So come on, let's get loose
Don't hold back
Because it ain't no use
Hard to keep your feet on the ground
Because when we like to ball it
We only want to get down
what? You say what?
It's love now...
Just get started
Everybody clap your hands, come on

You know sometimes I sit and wonder
Just how this world would be
If we had all the people laughing
And everybody living in harmony
We'd have to say sela sela
Talking to the people sela, sela

There would be no more living in desperation
And no more hatred and deceit
Tell me, can you imagine
All the children playing
And everyone dancing in the street
We say sela, sela
Talking to yourself sela, sela

You play it for the people
Yeah, for the people
It's time for everyone
To come together
I know it's hard
But this dream must come to light on
Because tonight should be
One big celebration
I'm talking to you now
Only we can make things right

We say sela, sela, sela, sela baby
Talk about, sing about, talk about sela
Talk about sela
Oh the children
Tell me about the children
We've got to help them now to survive
Well, one world
One heart is our salvation
Let us keep the dream alive

We say sela, sela, sela

Ballerina girl you are so lonely
With you standing there
I'm so aware
Of how much I care for you
You are more than now
You are for always
I can see in you my dreams come true
Don't you ever go away

You make me feel like
There's nothing I can't do
And when I hold you
I only want to say I love you
Ballerina girl the joy you bring me
Every day and night
Holding you tight
How I've waited for your love

Sometimes I've wondered
If you'd ever come my way
Now that I've finally found you
This is where my heart will stay woah

Never gonna break your heart

I can feel the night time coming
I can feel my resistance falling so low
Don't you know baby you got it
This hold on me
But I love just what you're doing
Oh you're all I need

When I'm dancing with you girl
With the lights down low
The power you possess
You know I can't let go
Oh listen to me
Don't stop moving, baby
Tonight's the night
Don't stop moving baby
It'll be alright

Can't you feel the fire burning?
It feels so right
Oh can't you feel my body yearning?
Hold me tight
Don't hold back, keep rising
Girl can't you see
All I need is your sweet loving
Oh to satisfy me

When you move your arms close
The magic's in your eyes
You know you turn me on
You've got me hypnotised
Oh let me tell you
Don't stop moving baby
Tonight's the night
Oh don't stop moving baby
It'll be alright
Listen to me, don't stop moving baby
Tonight's the night
Oh don't stop moving baby
It'll be alright
Oh, it's you for me, everything I want
Everything I need
We are lucky to feel
What we feel tonight
All the love that's been together
Tonight's the night

Oh baby don't stop moving baby
Tonight's the night
Don't stop moving baby
It'll be alright

Deep river woman
Lord I'm coming home to you
Deep river woman
Lord I know she's waiting
Just anticipating all my love

I spent a night
Just another chance to see you
Just you and I
Wanted you to know
That my playing days are over
Cause all I do is think of you
The writing's on the wall

I've been out in the world
Yes, the fast life had me going

Now all that's changed
I finally make up my mind
About the one thing
I've been knowing
You're the only girl
I've ever crying for in this world

You kind of love is forever
It took me a long time to realize
That I've come so far
And end up going nowhere

Here we are out hear, me and you
Reaching out to each other
Is all that we can do
Here we stand trying not to fall
There's no need to worry
Love will conquer all

Do you really want to know
Just how long will last
Will all of the bad times pass?
How can we make things right?
Ooh and why, why is the world so unkind?

We surely can find peace of mind
If we only see the light
Can't you see that?
Can somebody tell me why?
Why do our dreams go wrong?
Why can't we all belong?
Oh where did we start?
Oh and tell me when
When will we ever learn
There's nowhere else we can turn
The truth is in our hearts
Here we are together

Sometimes the road gets hard to travel
Sometimes the pains too much to bear
Sometimes when life seems to unravel
That's the time oh to say
We're gonna make it anyway

Little darling
Where you've been so long
I've been out here thinking about ya
And the feeling's real strong
Well the time has come to celebrate
You and me girl so sounds great
Cause tonight will be alright
Oh baby

Little darling, come on
Let's take a ride
To a midnight honey town and set it on fire
We don't want to be mad
But we have to be cool
You and me girl
Let's break all the rules
Cause tonight will be alright
Oh my baby, I'm gonna say it again
I can see us moving on
Down the highway
I can see us loving
Till our hearts desire
Anything you wanna do girl
You just tell me
Cause it's alright, cause it's alright

Little darling, telling you no use
Keep me thinking about you honey
My soul's on fire
Well if you want me girl
And the games I play
Anything's alright, anything you say
Cause tonight will be alright
Alright, baby I'll say it again, alright
Alright, alright, alright, baby
We gonna make it alright

(Chorus:)
Say you, say me; say it for always
That's the way it should be
Say you, say me; say it together
Naturally

I had a dream I had an awesome dream
People in the park playing games in the dark
And what they played was a masquerade
And from behind of walls of doubt a voice was crying out

Say you, say me... (Chorus)

As we go down life's lonesome highway
Seems the hardest thing to do is to find a friend or two
A helping hand - Some one who understands
That when you feel you've lost your way
You've got some one there to say "I'll show you"

(Chorus)

So you think you know the answers - Oh no
'Cause the whole world has got you dancing
That's right - I'm telling you
It's time to start believing - Oh yes
Believing who you are: You are a shining star

(Chorus)

Leave the station
Somewhere down in east
Oh baby, across the nation
Looking for some fun
And some hey down hey
Tell the conductor you're heading
For the cocktail car
Yes you are
That is where I'll be with my sweet
Ooh, la la, hey
If you're tired of
That day after day ride
And you wanna get off
All aboard the night train
Like a smooth alligator
All aboard the night train
Such a cool calculator
All aboard the night train
Like a smooth operator
All aboard the night train
Such a cool calculator

What a beauty
Listen how the engine wails on the rails
Sing it to me
Come and play your tunes
Up and down my scales
Such a sweet melody
Reach out, the sky is wide
And the night is long
When you're right by my side
