The Temptations Album

The sun is shining, there's plenty of light,
a new day is dawning sunny and bright.
But after I've been crying all night,
the sun is cold and the new day seems old.
Since I lost my baby (since I lost my baby)
Oh, since I lost my baby (since I lost my baby)

The birds are singing and the children are playing,
there's plenty of work and the bosses are paying.
Not a sad word should our young hearts be saying,
but fun is a bore, and with money I'm poor.
Since I lost my baby (since I lost my baby)
Oh, since I lost my baby (since I lost my baby)
Next time I'll be kinder (next time I'll be kinder)
Won't you please help me find her (won't you please help me find her)
Someone just remind her (someone just remind her)
Of this love she left behind her (of this love she left behind her)
'Til I find her I'll be crying ('til I find her I'll be crying)
Everyday I'm more inclined to find her, inclined to find her
Inclined to find my baby.
Been looking everywhere, baby I really really care.

Determination is fading fast,
Inspiration is a thing of the past.
Can't see how my hope's gonna last,
good things are bad, and what's happy is sad.
Since I lost my baby (since I lost my baby)
Oh, Since I lost my baby (since I lost my baby)
I feel so bad (since I lost my baby)
I feel so sad (since I lost my baby)

This little girl of mine,
I wanna say she's so fine.
And each and every day,
I make sure she has her way.

Now, we don't feel tied down,
Although our hearts are bound.
I don't have to chase her all over town.
My baby she's always around.

The girl's alright with me.
You know the girl's alright.
Listen, the girl's alright with me.
You know the girl's alright.

Now she's so good to me.
I guess that's why I feel fancy free.
Just to see the glow in her eyes,
Makes me once again realize.

I love her with all my heart
And I know we'll never, never part.
I never heard her about or caught her playing.
I guess that's why you always hear me saying...

The girl's alright with me.
You know the girl's alright, hmm...
The girl's alright with me.
You know the girl's alright

[Instrumental]

When I visit at her home
Other fellas never, never ring her phone.
She lets them know just where they stand
She tells them all that I'm her man.

And when we're out on a date
Other fellas wait till I walk away.
They try to beat my time.
She tells them in a nice way, she's mine, all mine.

The girl's alright with me.
YOu know the girls alright
And I trust her with my heart now. (The Girl's alright with me)
Everyday now. (You know the girl's alright)
You know, you know that the (girls alright with me)
In everyway now. (You know the girls alright)

JUST ANOTHER LONELY NIGHT
WRITERS IVY HUNTER, WILLIAM STEVENSON

Morning... (Mor-or-ning)
Seems to come so slow.
Knowing... (Know-ow-ing)
How I need this warming glow.
Foolishly, I've made you cried.
Confident, you never say goodbye.
Darling, that's the reason why,
That even in a crowd, laughing out loud, I'm lonely. (Lonely)
For I love you only. And without you,
Every night's... just another lonely night.
Falling. (Just another)
Tears are falling from my eyes.
I'm calling (Just another)
Out your name, tearful sigh.
How I pray it's not too late.
All my life for you I wait.
Just call me I won't hesitate,
For when you left you took the best of me.
I love you, can't you see?
Since you've been gone,
Every night's... just another lonely night.
(Just another)
Since you've been gone my life is so lonely, baby, baby.
It's just-a (Just another)
Even my sun is hopeing.
(Just another)
Oh, it's all I need is you only.
Hmmm
(Just another)
I'm just no good without you, baby.
I'm just-a lonely, lonely...

My Baby - The Temptations
(R.Rogers,W.Robinson & W.Moore)

Whose hair styles are out of this world
whether it's straight or bu'font or it's curled
My Baby My Baby My Baby ... hey hey hey
My Baby, Baby pretty Baby

Hair soft like a baby lamb I love to run my fingers through it.
I hope she digs me the way I am, but if I have to change.
You know I'm gonna do it for my baby,
(I'm gonna do it for my baby)

Personality contains more gold than any bank in this world could hold.
My Baby, My Baby, My Baby, hey hey hey
My Baby, Baby, pretty Baby

Enough gold in her personality, to set Fort Knox to shame.
this golden girl belongs to me, Yet you know Eli tried
To stake his claim on my baby.

(My baby) she's cute as can be (my baby) this girl's got a hold on me
(My baby) has a kiss so sweet, she knocks me off my feet,
she makes my life complete

Oh yeah, she's my baby
Oh yeah, she's my baby
and I love her soooooo
Yeah, I love my baby sooooo

My baby, she's cute as can be, my baby, this girl's got a hold on me
My baby, has a kiss so sweet, she knocks me off my feet,
she makes my life complete

Who has my mind in a kind of haze,Who has me walkin' around in a daze.
My Baby, My Baby, My Baby, hey hey hey
My Baby, Baby, pretty Baby

She gives me a feelin I can't explain,She sets my soul on fire.
But I don't feel hurt and I don't feel pain.
All I feel is strong desire for my baby,

Oh yeah my baby, that personality to satisfy me
woooo that's my baby, My baby, My baby

(fade out)

(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

To get stones from a rock, you've got to break it
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
To get bread from dough, you've got to bake it
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

To get water from a faucet, you've got to turn it
And if you want my love, if you want my love
You've got to earn it (Earn it, earn it, earn it)

(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

To get fire from a match, you've got to strike it
(Strike it, strike it, strike it, strike it)
To get the feeling from a kiss, you've got to like it
(Like it, like it, like it, like it)

To get ashes from wood, you've got to burn it
And if you want my love, if you want my love
You've got to earn it(Earn it, earn it, earn it)

You've got to treat me kind, all the time
Throw the other guys right out of your mind.
(Yeah,yeah)

(Instrumental)

Now listen

To make broken things work, you've got to fix them
(Fix them, fix them, fix them, fix them)
To make two things one, you've got to mix them
(Mix them, mix them, mix them, mix them)

To get butter from milk, you've got to churn it
And if you want my love, if you want my love
You've got to earn it(Earn it, earn it, earn it)

If you deserve it you can get it
I'll be glad to see you with it
Just show me that you love me
And that you're thinking of me
You can get it in a hurry...

GIRL (WHY YOU WANNA MAKE ME BLUE)
WRITERS
EDDIE HOLLAND
NORMAN WHITFIELD

I love you girl, with all my heart and soul.
I can't understand why you treat me cold.
Your every wish, girl, is my command
And that's why I can't seem to understand why,
Girl, girl, girl why you wanna make me blue?
I'm askin' you girl, girl, girl why you wanna make me blue?
One day you say you love me too.
The next day you tell me that we are through.
My love for you is just a game.
But each time we play, girl, my heart feels the pain.
Girl, girl, girl why you wanna make me blue? Oh
Girl, girl, girl why you wanna make me blue? So blue
Instrumental
Woo girl, girl, girl why you wanna make me blue? (Make me blue)
Oh girl, oh girl, oh girl tell me why can't you be true? (Can't be true)
The way you treat me is just unfair.
You make it so plain you just don't care.
You have a ball around tha' town.
Sleepless nights are getting me down.
Girl, girl, girl why you wanna make me blue?
I'm askin' you girl, girl, girl why you wanna make me blue? Baby
Girl, girl, girl why you wanna make me blue?

DON'T LOOK BACK
WRITERS
WILLIAM “SMOKEY�? ROBINSON, RONALD WHITE

If it's love that you're running from, there's no hiding place.
(You can't run it, you can't hide it, you can't run it)
Love has problems I know but there problems, we'll just have to face.
Oh yeah, yeah.

We're gonna leave all our troubles behind.
We're gonna walk and don't look back. (Don't look back)
And don't look back. Oh yeah, yeah.
And don't look back, baby. (Don't look back)
(The places behind you let them re-remind you.)
If your first lover broke your heart,
There's something that can be done.
(You don't run it, you don't hide it, you don't run it)
Don't end your faith in love because of what he's done.
So if you just put your hand in mine,
We're gonna leave all our troubles behind.
Keep on walking and don't look back.
Forget about the past now.
Don't look back, baby.
Keep on walking and don't look back. Hmmm
(The places behind you let them re-remind you.)

Love can be a beautiful thing.
Though your first love let you down.
Oh yeah, yeah
'Cause I know we can make love bloom, baby.
The second time around.
Oh yeah, yeah
So if you just put your hand in mine,
We're gonna leave all our troubles behind.
Keep on pushing and don't look back.
Now, till I say, we won't look back, girl.
Keep on walking and won't look back.
Forget about the past now, baby.
And don't look back.
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, don't look back.

BORN TO LOVE YOU
WRITERS IVY HUNTER, WILLIAM STEVENSON

Eddie:
Girl, as you walk by... I breathe a sigh.
And deep inside I knew it had to be.
This little girl is mine.
And for a little while I heard a strange rhapsody.
Hmmm
So lovely and so fair. (Fair)
I knew right then and there. (There)
That you were made for me.
And it wasn't hard to see.
I guess I was born to love you. (Born to love you)
Born to love you. (Born to love you)
Hmmm (Born to love you)
(Honey I, I was born to love you. Give my love to no one but you.)
David:
Here stands a man, with his future in your hands.
Don't let go. (Don't let go)
Don't let go. (Don't let go)
Baby, don't let her go. (Don't let go)
Please (Don't let go)
Eddie:
You better come on and take my hand.
'Cause I don't understand, this crazy feeling in my soul.
But I know that I would rather die, then let this feeling go.
Now girl can't you see (See)
That this was meant to be. (Be)
It's funny but it's true.
I guess I was just born to love you. (Born to love you)
David:
Darling... (Born to love you)
Darling I... (Born to love you)
I was born... (Born to love you)
Born to love only you. (Born to love you)
Why don't you believe... (Born to love you)
Believe what I tell you, baby (Born to love you)
I was born to love only you. (Born to love you)
(Born to love you)
Eddie:
Darling... (Born to love you)
I... (Born to love you)
Oh, our love is true. (Born to love you)

If you decide to make me blue, I'll be in trouble.
If you decide to be untrue, I'll be in trouble.
'Cause no matter what you do or say, I know I'm gonna love you anyway.
So if that's what you wanna do, I'll be in trouble.

If you decide one day you want to make a change, love.
You want to leave me here and love a total stranger.
Well, no matter what you do or say, I know I'm gonna love you anyway.
So if that's what you wanna do, I'll be in danger.

I'll do everything I can to make you stay,
Keep you by my side. (By my side)
'Cause I love you in such a way,
Melvin: I have to forget all about my pride.

If you decide you want to go, I'll be in trouble.
I can't prepare myself and soul, I'll be in trouble.
So no matter what you do or say, I know I'm gonna love you anyway.
So I just want you to know, I'll be in trouble.
Oh yeah.

Instrumental

If you decide you want to go, I'll be in trouble.
I can't prepare myself and soul, I'll be in trouble.
So no matter what you do or say, I know I'm gonna love you anyway.
So I just want you to know, I'll be in trouble.

I'll be in trouble, (So much trouble)
If you ever leave me, baby. (I'll be in trouble)
If you deceive me. (So much trouble)
I must confess, (I'll be in trouble)
My life would be a mess. (So much trouble)
I'll be in trouble, baby. (I'll be in trouble)
So much trouble. (So much trouble)
Hmmm, everyday, trouble. (I'll be in trouble)
And everyway, so much trouble. (So much trouble)
Hmmm, baby. (I'll be in trouble)
So much trouble. (So much trouble)
