"Lookin' Through The Windows" (1972)

Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing
(originally by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell)




Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing, no, no
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
(Ain't nothing)
Ain't nothing like the real thing

Ooh, I've got your picture
Hanging on the wall
But it can't see or come to me
When I call your name
(When I call your name)
I realize it's just a picture in a frame

I read your letters
When you're not near
But they don't move me
And they don't groove me
Like when I hear
(When I hear your voice)
Your sweet voice
Whispering in my ear
(In my ear)

No other sound is quite the same
As your name
(Quite the same as your name)
Your touch can do half this much
To make me feel better
So let's stay together

Ooh, I got memories to look back on
Though they help when you're gone
I'm well aware
(I'm well aware)
Nothing can take the place of your being there
(Being there)

Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
(Ain't nothing)
Ain't nothing like the real thing
Ooh, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
(Ain't nothing)
Ain't nothing like the real thing

Ooh, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing

Lookin' Through The Windows




(Lookin' through the window)
(Lookin' through the window)
(Lookin' through the window)
(The window)
(Through the window)
(Lookin' through the window)

Lookin' through the windows
The window to your heart
Oh baby, yeah
I can see it's cloudy
The rain's about to start

Lookin' through the windows
(Lookin' through the window)
It seems I caused your fears
Yeah, yeah, yeah
And that little doubt, girl
(And your little doubt, girl)
And now it's bringing tears
(And it's bringing tears)

(Remember)
Just remember whatever makes you feel that way
Don't you worry 'cause I'm gonna stay
Right by your side
(By your side)
To keep on lookin' through the windows
Lookin' in your eyes

Looking through the windows
(Lookin' through the window)
Seems like the only way, yeah
I can't know your feelings
If you still love me today

(Remember)
Just remember whatever makes you feel that way
Don't you worry 'cause I'm gonna stay
Right by your side
(By your side)
To keep on lookin' through the windows
Lookin' in your eyes

Don't Let Your Baby Catch You




Don't let your baby catch you
Don't let your baby catch you
Don't let your baby catch you
Fooling around
You just might lose the best thing
That you ever found
Don't let your baby catch you
Fooling around

Oh, the nights are lonely
Twice as cold
Without my baby's hand to hold
My happiness is fading away
Just like a thief
I tried to steal a kiss
From another pretty miss
My baby was the price that I paid

Now listen, fellows
(Think twice)
Think twice if you have cheating on your mind
(Watch your step)
Remember
The punishment will fit your crime

Don't let your baby catch you
Don't let your baby catch you
Don't let your baby catch you
Fooling around
You just might lose the best thing
That you ever found
Don't let your baby catch you
Fooling around

Oh, I hope that now you let me be
Do right not wrong in full indeed
I'm gonna crawl back all the way on my knees
And if that's no use I'd get to move
And settle down and come to her
Oh, before I even say please
If I get one more chance
My life would be as good as you
And I would not forget the days
The sun would not shine through

Don't let your baby catch you
Don't let your baby catch you
Don't let your baby catch you
Fooling around
Oh, no
Can't you not, can't you not, can't you not, babe

Oh, don't let her
Oh, your baby catch you
You might lose the best thing
That you ever found

Tell about it, Mike

You're crazy about your baby
And she's crazy about you
Just think of what you'd do to her
If she was untrue

Don't let your baby catch you
Don't let your baby catch you
Don't let your baby catch you
All right
Don't let your baby catch you
Fooling around
You just might lose the best thing
That you ever found
Don't let your baby catch you
Fooling around

Don't let it
Don't let it
Don't let it
Stop
Stop
Stop

Don't let your baby catch you
Fooling around
You just might lose the best thing
That you ever found
Don't let your baby catch you
Fooling around

To Know




To know of life
(To know of life)
Is to know what I'm living for
Touch my hand
And, baby, I'm yours

To know of love
(To know of love)
Is to know that I live for you
To be in love
Is to be there with you

(Everyday)
Everyday means so much to me
But it all depends on you
Don't you know, oh, baby
We were meant to be
Oh, and life for me
Begins and ends with you

To know you're mine
(To know you're mine)
Is to know how it used to be
Yesterday is all I can see
That's how I know
Life can be beautiful
But it all depends on you
Now that you're gone, baby

(Since you've been gone)
Just not the same, baby
Since you've been gone
Just not the same, baby

To know of us
Is what I'm still living for
But it all depends on you
Baby, it all depends on you
(Baby, come home)
To know happiness
Is to know you're here in my arms
(Baby, come home)
Let me know, let me know, let me know
What it is to live again
(Baby, come home)
(Baby, come home)

Doctor My Eyes
(originally by Jackson Browne)




Doctor, my eyes have seen the years
And the slow parade of fears without crying
Now I want to understand

I have done all that I could
To see the evil and the good without hiding
You must help me if you can

Doctor, my eyes
Tell me what is wrong
Was I unwise to leave them open for so long

'Cause I have wandered through this world
And as each moment has unfurled
I've been waiting to awaken from these dreams
People go just where there will
I never noticed them until I got this feeling
That it's later than it seems

Doctor, my eyes
Tell me what you see
I hear their cries
Just say if it's too late for me

Doctor, my eyes
Cannot see the sky
Is this the prize for having learned how not to cry

Little Bitty Pretty One
(originally by Thurston Harris)




Little bitty pretty one
Come on and talk to me
Lovey dovey lovely one
Come sit down on my knee

I can tell you a story
That happened a long time ago
Little pitty pretty one
I've been watching you grow

Little bitty pretty one
Come on and talk to me
Lovey dovey lovely one
Come sit down on my knee

Come on everybody
Let's put our hands together and sing along
Come on, come on
I'm saying
Come on

I can tell you a story
That happened a long time ago
Little bitty pretty one
I've been watching you grow

E-Ne-Me-Ne-Mi-Ne-Moe (The Choice Is Yours To Pull)




To know of life
(To know of life)
Is to know what I'm living for
Touch my hand
And, baby, I'm yours

To know of love
(To know of love)
Is to know that I live for you
To be in love
Is to be there with you

(Everyday)
Everyday means so much to me
But it all depends on you
Don't you know, oh, baby
We were meant to be
Oh, and life for me
Begins and ends with you

To know you're mine
(To know you're mine)
Is to know how it used to be
Yesterday is all I can see
That's how I know
Life can be beautiful
But it all depends on you
Now that you're gone, baby

(Since you've been gone)
Just not the same, baby
Since you've been gone
Just not the same, baby

To know of us
Is what I'm still living for
But it all depends on you
Baby, it all depends on you
(Baby, come home)
To know happiness
Is to know you're here in my arms
(Baby, come home)
Let me know, let me know, let me know
What it is to live again
(Baby, come home)
(Baby, come home)

If I Have To Move A Mountain




(Who's the one that loves you)
(The special one who needs you)
You made the odds a million to me
(No one else can love you)
(Nobody else can need you)
No more than the one whose heart you won't believe

So if I have to move a mountain
Simply to prove that you're my love (my love)
That you're my love, baby (my only love)
I'll do it, yes I'd do it
To show I love you

In your eyes
I see no faith
There's an absence of trust
In your embrace

But why would I
Pretend to give
Just to take from the person
For whom I live

(I told you that I love you)
(especially I need you)
You're one love in a million was made from the stars
(and maybe you'd believe me)
(then maybe you would need me)
But maybe may not ever convince your stubborn heart

[Chorus:]
So if I have to move a mountain
Simply to prove that you're my love (my love)
You're my love, baby (my only love)
I'd do it, and I'll do it, yes I'll do it for you
And if I have to stop a river
To make you belive that I'm the one (the one)
That special one you need (that special one)
I'd do it, yes I'd do it (to show I love you)

(Pins and needles sticking in my heart)
(We're so close, but still so far apart)
(What to do, what to do to make you need my love too)

[Chorus]
