I'm Alive (C. Ballard Jr.)
Did you ever see a man with no heart
Baby, that was me
Just a lonely, lonely man with no heart
'Til you set me free

Now I can breathe
I can see
I can touch
I can feel

I can taste all the sugar sweetness in your kiss
You give me all the things I've ever missed
I've never felt like this
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive

I used to think I was living
Baby, I was wrong
No I never knew a thing about living
'Til you came along

Now I can breathe
I can see
I can touch
I can feel

I can taste all the sugar sweetness in your kiss
You give me all the things I've ever missed
I've never felt like this
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive

Break

Now I can breathe
I can see
I can touch
I can feel

I can taste all the sugar sweetness in your kiss
You give me all the love I've ever missed
I've never felt like this
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive

 

You Know He Did (Ransford)
He made a fool of you
I said he would, you know he did

How many times did I say
He'd let you down, well it's a sin

You're playin' a losin' game
Well you're a fool you just can't win

It's gonna be hard for you
When you're alone and need someone

Need someone to hold you tight
Need someone when you're alone at night

Thinkin' of me, thinkin' of me

Break

Need someone to hold you tight
Need someone when you're alone at night

Thinkin' of me, thinkin' of me

I'm not gonna wait so long
For you to call, 'cause I'll be gone

'Cause he's made a fool of you
I said he would, you know he did

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

You know he did

Oh, you know he did

Oh yeah, yeah, baby

You know he did

Listen to me honey, well

You know he did

 

Honey And Wine (Goffin / King)
My daddy used to tell me
When I was under his wing
If you want to live a good life
Just remember one thing

Though the world that we live in
Can be so unkind
If you love a good woman
It's all honey and wine

This I could do
I thought my daddy was wrong
Girl I was so lonely
And then you came along

You went on to then holding
Yeah the kissing was fine
Now I'm here for the tasting
Was the honey and wine

It's all honey and wine now
It's all honey and wine
If you love a good woman
It's all honey and wine

Break

It's all honey and wine now
It's all honey and wine
If you love a good woman, yeah
It's all honey and wine

It's all honey and wine now

It's all honey and wine

It's all honey and wine
