Teena:

If the sun in the sky disappeared from view
If the love in my heart baby wasn't true
If the rivers and seas all just up and dry
If the moon pass away from the deep blue sky
If I lost all my faith in the Higher Power
Tell me where would I be in the final hour
I'll be losing my way baby I‘d be through
Cause I can't last a day honey without you

Can't last a day baby without your love
(Can't last a day)
Can’t even last one day without your love
(Can't last a day)
Can't last a day baby without your love
(Can't last a day)
Can’t even last one day without your love

Look at me baby
Thinking that I’m real cool
Thinking that I can keep from calling
To talk to you
Filling my days with
Things to occupy my mind
My mental state’s playing tricks on me
But my body never lies
Trust when I tell you
Baby your love is king
I’ll be alright 'til you come back
But I wish you'd never leave,
Losing the battle
What’s up with my defense?
Can't last a day without you
This don't make no sense

(Chorus)
Don't need your touch
(I don't need your touch)
Don’t need your voice (your voice)
Don’t need your hands (baby)
Can’t last a day
Don’t need your arms
(I don't need your arms)
Wrapped around me
(Wrapped around me, baby)
Don’t need your lovin’
(I don't need your lovin')
Can’t last a day (Can’t last a day)

Faith
Don’t need your lovin'
Don’t need your candy kiss
Don’t need your voice to remind me
These are all the things I miss
Feels kinda crazy
When my love's coming down
I try not to listen baby
But my heartbeat starts to pound
Hot like the summer
Sweet like the morning dew
I need you like the four seasons
With each day comes I love you
Where has my faith gone?
You hold it in your hands
Guess I should learn to trust you
Cause I need you baby, baby,

(Chorus)
Don't need your touch
Don’t need your voice (your voice)
Don’t need your hands (your hands)
Can’t last a day, don’t need your arms
Wrapped around me, don’t need your lovin’
Can’t last a day (baby, baby, baby, baby)
Teena (repeat 1st verse)
If the sun in the sky disappeared from view
And the love in my heart baby wasn't true
If the rivers and seas all just up and dry
If the moon pass away from the deep blue sky
If I lost all my faith in the Higher Power
Tell me where would I be in the final hour
I'll be losing my way baby I‘d be through
Cause I can't last a day honey without you

(Chorus)
Don't need your touch
Don’t need your voice
Don’t need your hands, Baby can’t last a day,
I can’t last a day,
Don’t need your arms, your arms wrapped
around me, don’t need your lovin’
I can’t last a day, baby, I can’t last a day

Faith:
If I reach over table boy to grab you
Would you tell that you love me can I have you?
Would you be my baby and my one and only
Would you try to kiss me back or leave me lonely?
Would you wrap your arms around me keep
laughing
Tell the other ladies I’m the one that’s happening
Would you tell the truth or will I have to doubt you
Would you listen? I can't last a day without you
Together:
Trust me when I tell you baby

Teena:
Baby, your love is king
I’ll be alright 'til you come back
But I wish you'd never leave

Faith:
Losing the battle, what’s up with my defense?

Together:
Can't last a day without you,
Cause I need you baby

(Chorus)
Don't need your touch (I don't need your touch)
Don’t need your voice (I don’t need your voice)
Don’t need your hands (baby)
Can’t last a day (I can't last a day without you)
Don’t need your arms (your arms)
Your arms wrapped around me, baby
Don’t need your lovin’
Can’t last a day, can't last a day, can’t last a day

Baby I Love You (Baby..I Love You Baby)
Baby I Love You (Baby...Rolling thru the Shaw)
Baby I Love You (Baby...Westside)
Baby I Love You (I love you baby)

Late nite creeping down the blvd,
Rollin thru the shaw like ma and pa,
In my lap full of luxury, feeling free its you and me
Just swing down, sweet chariot star
Give me one more hit of it
Because Yo love be the bomb

How do you like it? Tell me how it feels?
Say you love me baby
And now we're rolling up close on a brand new day
The love we have boy alway stays in my mind
Like a real fine wine..always tender
Just swing down, sweet chariot star
Give me one more hit of it cuz this love be the bomb

It came down on me like a rain storm,
Glissens and dances
Drippin like dew drops from silver saxs
Hollywood player, sweet ear candy licks
Sexy jb pump sounds in the background
Calm down baby baby
I got you open like a door make you holler for more
sweet things on the killin floor
make love not war for sure

How do you like it? Tell me how it feels?
Say you love me baby
And now we're Late nite creeping down the blvd,
Rollin thru the shaw like ma and pa,
in my lap full of luxury, feeling free its you and me
Just swing down, sweet chariot star
Give me one more hit of it
Because Yo love be the bomb

I make you feel good. I make you feel real good
Whenever we're together.
Chillin in the cut, Philly blunt like december
Mix it in my blender.
Make it mo better mo better
Its weak my baby when your not around
And Im weak so weak when your putting it down on me
You be the amproshia I swill, diggin on x factor
Swear I will

How do you like it? Tell me how it feels?
Say you love me baby
And now we're rolling up close on a brand new day
The love we have boy alway stays on my mind
Like a real fine wine..always tender
Just swing down, sweet chariot star
Give me one more hit of it cuz this love be the bomb

Crystal and cream these dreams are made of
Curled up on the sofa where we just made love
Sometimes a lil risk aint never too nasty
What do you want? Oh Baby just ask me.
I love it when you whisper Lady T in my ear

How do you like it? Tell me how it feels?
Say you love me baby
And now we're Late nite creeping down the blvd,
Rollin thru the shaw like ma and pa,
in my lap full of luxury, talk to me baby please
Swing down, sweet chariot star
Give me one more hit of it
Because Yo love be the bomb

Baby I love you, say you love me too
Here's what we gone do..
Just build a nice house with an ocean view
(x3)

Sundays was better than other days
Mondays through Saturdays
Sundays we danced like there's no tomorrow
Duke (Ellington) played piano in Storyville
We sang the Blues round midnight until. . .
The sun came up and we'd improvise

Congo Square on a dope patoi, Congo Square on a dope patoi
Congo Square on a dope patoi, all eyes open on Yeshua (Jesus)

Lester (Young) was there, so was Ms. Badu
Louie (Armstrong) played turmpet on West End Blues
Ain't that Jill Scott with my sweet Aunt Nancy (Wilson)
Sassy (Sarah Vaughn) and Ella (Fitzgerald) start scattin' now
They start a frenzy there in the crowd
Sistahs has always been so resilient

Congo Square on a dope patoi, Congo Square on a dope patoi
Congo Square on a dope patoi, all eyes open on Yeshua (Jesus)

Ain't no filet gumbo babe without the rue
Ain't no joyous feelings without payin' dues
I'm gonna tie my pink bandana on
'Cause what don't kill me make me strong
Sing my Billie (Holiday) "Strange Fruit" song
And dig my roots up. . .Congo Square

(Dig this man)

Sundays was really the only days
That took the place of the lonely days
Sundays we looked to the new horizions
I see the light at the end of the tunnel sir
Jazz and Blues born of the slave gospel
Black angels pick the white fiels of cotton

Congo Square on a dope patoi, Congo Square on a dope patoi
Congo Square on a dope patoi, all eyes open on Yeshua (Jesus)

Ain't no filet gumbo babe without the rue
Ain't no joyous feelings without payin' dues
I'm gonna tie my pink bandana on
'Cause what don't kill me make me strong
Sing my Billie (Holiday) "Strange Fruit" song
And dig my roots up. . .Congo Square. . .Congo Square
Congo Square. . .Congo Square

(Party 'til the sun come up)
(Play that piano man)

Uptown Harlem Brown
Give me a Blues
Yeah, that's what I'm talking 'bout

Fell in love with the Harlem Blues,
Even though he was a Moulin Rouge,
Hazel eyes seems to be unfair,
Cajun moon makes me stop and stare,

Gotta reach up to touch the ground,
Blaze my box, embrace the sounds,
Tell me boy where do you dance?
Should I run or take the chance?

You're so pretty baby and I know just what to do. . .

Harlem Blues, Harlem Blues,

Lost my mind on a Harlem Brown,
Savoir faire, it was a man about town,
Fine as wine when he puts on the riffs,
Sets the mood indigo with his lips,

I been down that road before,
What I say? And furthermore,
I had myself a Romeo,
And I dropped it on him nice and slow,

Met him down on Bourbon Street,
I guess you know the rest. . .

Harlem Blues, Harlem Blues,

The way you move give me a Harlem Blues,
The way you light my fuse, what a girl supposed to do?
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh got me all over you,
Baby it's tried and true,
Give me a Harlem Blues,

Guess who I saw today?
Casanova Brown,
Gave me the blues in my left thigh,
Get on down,

Get so weak when he kiss you,
I'm undone, I got issues,
Oh and yes did I mention,
If he played he'd be Kenton?
He's so fine, he's so mellow,
In his eyes, greens and yellows,
And when he starts and love me,
Rainy days become sunny,

You're so pretty baby and I know just what to do. . .

Harlem Blues, Harlem Blues,

Do you understand my blues?

Walk that walk blues,

I don't need nobody need to hear me a Harlem, Harlem Blues
