"Goin' Places" (1977)

Music's Takin' Over




Music is a teacher
That can teach you right from wrong
If you listen closely (well)
There's a lesson in the song
Music is a doctor
That can cure a troubled mind
Listen to the music (say it again)
The rhythms and the rhymes

[Chorus:]
('Cause) Music's takin' over
Music makes you dance
Music's takin' over
Just give music a chance (say it again)

Music is a comfort
When you're all alone
Just turn up your music
And you don't need nobody home
Music is a power
People depend on every day
They make their decisions
By the records that they play

[Chorus]

Let's dance, let's dance, let's dance
Music is a sound
That makes the boys and girls get down

Goin' Places




I like the feelin' I get
When I'm ridin' in a jet
Say I'm goin' places

I like the feelin' I get
When I'm ridin' in a jet
Say I'm goin' places

I want to go
To a different land
Try my best
To understand
The different traditions
And customs
That people have

The world is bigger
Than this ole town
I wanna get my feet up
Off the ground
I've saved up my money
And I'm leavin' here today
'Cause....

I like the feelin' I get
When I'm ridin' in a jet
Say I'm goin' places

I want to get
A first class seat
Climbing to a high of forty feet
It don't take long
To get where you wanna go

I'm gonna have myself a ball
This ole world I wanna see it all
I got my clothes packed
And I'm leaving right away

I like the feelin' I get
When I'm ridin' in a jet
Say I'm goin' places

Different Kind Of Lady





If you want me
I'll be there in a flash
If you need me
Well that's different at last
Say it-no delay
Cause everything I do
Is always up to you
You got me saying'
Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo

I'm here to please you
In every way I can
To prove to you
That I'm your only man
Trying, no denying
Cause everything I do
Is always up to you
You got me sayin'
Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo

[Chorus:]
I searched this world
For a different kind of girl
I caught myself going girl shopping
No matter what I do
I keep running back to you
Saying you're all mine
Different kind of lady

The way I love you
In case you'd like to know
You're a lady
And that's a different show
You're meant for me
That makes you different, you see
Cause everything I do
Is always up to you

Cause you're a different kind of lady
Cause you're a different kind of lady
Cause you're a different kind of lady

[Chorus]

If you want me
I'll be there in a flash
If you need me
Well that's different at last

Cause you're a different kind of lady
Cause you're a different kind of lady

[Repeat and fade out]

Even Though You're Gone




[Chorus:]
Gotta find a way somehow
Nothing's gonna stop me now
Gotta find a way somehow
Even though you're gone

Things don't look as bad
As they did yesterday
Even minute I get
Stronger somehow...some way
Cause I gotta keep on living
I got the will to survive
Even though I feel so bad
So bad inside

[Chorus]

All the plans I had
I've got to give them up
And start anew
Making plans for one
Instead of making plans for two
From now on I'll be thinkin
Thinking 'bout myself
It'll be a long time
Before I love somebody else

[Chorus]

I depended on you
For everything
Oh, I really trusted you
How could you do me the
Way you did
You really let me down

[Chorus]

Jump For Joy




People have misunderstandings
Of what life is all about
They put values on the wrong things
And in happiness they lose out

Cause being happy's a feeling
It's all a frame of mind
And every moment you feel sad and blue
You could be having a real good time

Why don't you jump for joy and be happy
Why don't you jump for joy and be glad
If you just try it, you'll feel better
And have the best time you've ever had

There is no sense in worrying
Cause that won't solve a thing
Chances are whatever's worrying you
Is not as bad as it seems

Being down won't last forever
Cause nothing stays the same
You will will have a bright tomorrow
There's always sunshine after rain

Why don't you jump for joy and be happy
Why don't you jump for joy and be glad
If you just try it, you'll feel better
And have the best time you've ever had

Heaven Knows I Love You, Girl




I've never felt this way before
Each day I love you more and more

People always stare at us
When we are together
We laugh and joke and
Have a ball
We're friends and that makes
It better
We respect each other too
I was very lucky the day
I found you

I've never felt this way before
Each day I love you more and more

I've found a little place for us
To go and be alone
Let's fix it up the way we want
And call it home sweet home
Our love is priceless
It's so rare...so good
We believe in the same things too
Oh I was so lucky the day
I laid my eyes on you

I've never felt this way before
Each day I love you more and more

Man Of War




[Chorus:]
Man of war
Don't go to war no more
Why don't you
Why don't you study peace
Man of war
Don't go to war no more
Study peace
Cause peace is what we need

You think your way
Is the best way for all
You don't know everything
You don't know it all
You got respect a man
For the way he feels
You can't make people do
Things against their will

[Chorus]

Just because your army
Gives you strength and might
Truth is gonna win...wrong will
Never conquer right
Every man has the right to
Think and be free
You're like a spoiled brat
You want everything you see

You think you bombs guns, and planes
Make you a big man
When you invade
Another man's land
Tryin' to make him be what
You want him be
Tryin' to make him do
What you want him to
Tryin' to make him say
What you want him to say
I know there's got to
Be a better way

You think your way
Is the best way for all
You don't know everything
You don't know it all
You got respect a man
For the way he feels
You can't make people do
Things against their will

[Chorus]

Do What You Wanna




[Chorus:]
Do what you wanna
And do it
Whenever I convince you
Stick to it

Keep on striving
Towards your goals
If it's right
Don't let it go
Live the life

You wanna live
Don't be phony
Just be real
People-be yourself
Don't be nobody -nobody else

[Chorus]

Don't let nobody
Fool you around
Tryin' to turn your life
Upside down

Just be strong in your field
And when you reach the top
Happily you will live
People-be yourself
Don't be nobody -nobody else

[Chorus]

[Instrumental]

People-be yourself
Don't be nobody -nobody else
I'm telling you people-be yourself
Don't be nobody-nobody else

[Chorus]

Find Me A Girl




I got to find me a girl
Oh, I got to find me a girl

Somebody who
Can make all my dreams
Come true
Somebody soft and warm

I know just what I want
I've been searching everywhere
Can't seems to find her anywhere
Could it be you, could it be you
Could it be you

I got to find me a girl
Oh, I got to find me a girl

Somebody true
To make all my lonely nights
A thing of the past
Someone to make everything
All right

I got to find me a girl
Find me a girl
Find me a girl
Oh baby

Somebody who
Can make all my dreams
Come true
Somebody soft and warm
I know just what I want

I've been searching everywhere
Can't seems to find her anywhere
Could it be you, could it be you
Could it be you
