Lionel Richie Album

1st verse
La, da, da, da,
Oooh, Oh.
You and I were so in love.
You were all I was thinkin' of.
There was so much magic in your eyes.
Then one day you said we were through.
You said you found somebody new.
And then you turned and you walked right out the door.
Baby I told you his love wasn't true.
You didn't hear me, so now I say these words to you..

chorus:
Serves you right for sayin' good-bye.
Now you say you're sorry.
Serves you right for sayin' good-bye.
baby.
Serves you right for sayin' good-bye.
Now you see who's sorry now.
Oooh, oh,oh.

2nd verse.
I remember you standin' there, sayin' to me you didn't care.
And I was begging baby, please don't go.
Now you're crying, telling me what went wrong.
Girl you stayed away too long,
Can't you see I've got you off my mind.
(change)
Thinkin''bout the pain that you put me through.
I can't help you-because it feels good telling you....

chorus:
Serves you right for sayin' good-bye.
Now you say you're sorry.
Serves you right for sayin' good-bye.
baby.
Serves you right for sayin' good-bye.
Now you see who's sorry now.
Oooh, oh,oh.

(rap) "See mama, what I'm tryin'to say.
to you is that, I'm ,you know, I love ya,
but ya - yaa hurt me so bad, I can't take it no more girl,
I just can't take it, no.....Hell No"

"No! No, No, I don't wanna hear it,
don't say it anymore, don't talk
no more, I'm tired of you're lyin',
I'm tired of your cryin' girl, tell
me....don't tell me."

(change)
Thinkin' 'bout the pain that you put me through,
I can't help you-because it feels good telling you....

chorus:(repeat twice)
Serves you right for sayin' good-bye.
Now you say you're sorry.
Serves you right for sayin' good-bye.
baby.
Serves you right for sayin' good-bye.
Now you see who's sorry now.
Oooh, Yeah...

"Givin' up on your love girl, never
gonna believe you anymore,
'cause all you wanna do is hurt me, and treat me bad"
....feels good telling you......

chorus (ad-lib)
Serves you right for sayin' good-bye
Girl, I just don't need you
Serves you right for sayin' good-bye
All you do is use my love,
Serves you right for sayin' good-bye
Can't let you hurt me anymore.
Serves you right for sayin' good-bye
Don't say you're sorry baby.
Serves you right for sayin' good-bye
Cause your words don't mean a thing
Serves you right for sayin' good-bye

I'm a wandering stranger
Lost all alone
I'm a million miles away
I know you're waiting for
To come home again
But I'm searching for an answer
Please try to understand

And I love you
And you love me
Someday we can make it together
Just you and me, oh just you and me

Sometimes I'm lonely
But I can not own myself
I must keep moving till I find me
Oh I'm hurting you
But I don't want to stay
My piece of mince is all my master
Help me if you can

And I love you
And you love me
Someday we can make it together
Just you and me, oh just you and me

Oh my love I do love you
In my heart I do feel you

I'm a wandering stranger
Can you help me make it through
Try to remember

1st verse.
Sad, sad story, about all the things I've heard.
Now baby, there's something on my mind.
You said I was your true love.
But I hear you're foolin' 'round.
I gotta know girl what's going down.

(chorus)
Oh, tell me, where do we go from here and.
Are you just playin' me for a fool.
Ooo, lover, I'm tired of people talking.
Why don't you tell me girl if we're through.
Why can't I hear it from you.

2nd verse.
Everybody's talkin'
They say you're leaving me.
They say you don't want me no more,
Oh baby.
I need some understanding,
Ooo, tell me who's right and who's wrong.
baby yea.
Do I stay with you, do I move along.

(chorus)
Oh, tell me, don't have me goin' crazy.
Please don't you keep me hangin' on.
Ooh i, I can't stand it.
Wondering if you still love me.
Wondering if what they say is true.
I wanna hear it from you.

Oh, tell me, wher do we go from here and.
Please don't you keep me hangin' on.
Ooh I, I can't stand it.
Wondering if you still love me.
Wondering if what they say is true.

Please tell me baby if it's true.
Tell me baby.
Tell me baby what's on your mind.
Tell me baby
Tell me yeah (what's on your mind)
Tell me, tell me yeah.
Wait a minute, tired of people talking.
Tired of all my friends telling me about you
You see, looking for some understanding.
I've got to know right now girl if it's true.
Don't keep me hangin'on baby.
Can't you see me standin' here askin' you
Come on and tell me.
Don't hurt me baby.
Tell me yeah.
Love me girl or leave me alone.
Tell me, tell me yeah
Don't tease me.
Tell me (Don't tease me baby)
Tell me yeah
Oh, tell me, tell me yeah.
(don't tease me honey)

I've been through so many changes in my life woman
It's a wonder I ain't lost my mind
And I ain't never said how much I need you sugar
But I sho' need you by my side

( Chorus )

My love, just thinking about you baby
Just blows my mind
My love, just thinking about you baby
Just blows my mind all the time

Life with me I know for sure it ain't be easy
But you stayed with me anyway
And even though you ain't gonna lose too much by leaving
I'm so glad you stayed

( Repeat chorus )

You've been my friend and you've been my lover, oh lord
Hoeny you're everything I need
You've made my love so strong now I know where I belong
Oh girl you'll never have to worry
Oh baby any more, any more

Tryin' to figure out just where you are
You tried to play the game of love, didn't get too far
You told yourself you'd be nobody's fool
You want a good reason why love is so cruel, baby

Oh, oh, round and round
Love's got you goin'
It's turnin' you upside down
You play the game, it's so insane
Like lost and found
Love's got you spinnin' all around, baby

Are you thinkin' love has passed you by, oh
Do you feel so alone, sometimes you just sit and cry
Tryin' to think if love was meant for you
Oh, you're startin' to wonder what you're gonna do, baby

Oh, oh, round and round
Love's got you goin'
It's turnin' you upside down
You play the game, it's so insane
Like lost and found
Love's got you spinnin' all around, baby

Oh, oh, I know you need a place to be
You want someone who cares and shares
And loves you so

I want to know there's something you can do, oh
You need to realize all things can come to you
Just believe it's all about your heart, baby
And you're gonna make it when you're ready to start, oh

No need to go round and round
Love's got you goin'
It's turnin' you upside down
You play the game, it's so insane
Called lost and found
Love's got you spinnin' all around, baby

Whoa, whoa, round and round
Love's got you goin'
It's turnin' you upside down
You play the game, it's so insane
Called lost and found
Love's got you spinnin' all around, baby

The world is all out there for you
It all depends on what you do
Your life's too short for wastin' time
So follow your heart and make up your mind

Round and round
Love's got you goin'
It's turnin' you upside down
You play the game, it's so insane
Called lost and found

Girl, tell me only this
That I'll have your heart for always
And you want me by your side
Whispering the words I'll always love you

Bridge:
And forever I will be your lover
And I know if you really care
I will always be there

Now I need to tell you this
There's no other love like your love
And I,as long as I live,
I'll give you all the joy
My heart and soul can give

Bridge:
Let me hold you
I need to have you near me
And I feel with you in my arms
This love will last forever

Chorus:
Because I'm truly
Truly in love with you girl
I'm truly head over heels with your love
I need you, and with your love I'm free

(Lionel Richie, Brenda Harvey-Richie)

Baby you'll find
There's only one love
Yours and mine
I've got so much love

And needing you so
My love for you
I'll never let go
I've got so much love

All I want is to hold you
Let me show how much I love you baby (Show you)
I don't mind and I don't mind (Loving you)
Girl I love you
There's no one above you

(Chorus)
You are the sun
You are the rain
That makes my life this foolish game
You need to know
I love you so
And I'd do it all again and again

Tell me it's true
I can't believe you do what you do
I've got so much love
And my love you'll see
We'll stay together, just you and me
I've got so much love

Only you (know me)
Tell me how to love you baby (show me)
I don't mind and I don't mind (tell me)
Girl, I love you
Always thinking of you

(Chorus)
You are the sun
You are the rain
That makes my life this foolish game
You need to know
I love you so
And I'd do it all again and again

I know you know the way I feel
And I need your love for always
Cause when I'm with you
I fall in love
Again and again and again, Baby.

You mean more to me,
than words can ever say
Just to hold your hand
and to know our love will stay
feels so right
you're in my arms, my love
tonight

Oh you,
You mean more to me
than any love I've ever known
And I want to give you all my love
just you alone

Oh
You're all my dreams come true
there's so much joy in your eyes 
and all the love you give
you've finally made me realize
you're all I need

Oh- You
You mean more to me

Just put some love in your heart.
And all of your troubles will.
Someday, soon all depart.

Let's put some joy in the world.
And give the word happiness.
To every boy and girl.

Why can't we understand.
That the whole world wants to live?
With so many reaching out.
Is love so hard to give?
