'Cause my heart and soul is in her
Can't wait another day
She's got to see this thing my way
So I'm asking you girl,

That I love you so
What are we gonna do

SO YOU DON'T LOVE ME
Spoken:
So there's nothing left
What more can I say,
Other than take care of yourself
'Till the ends of the earth,
I suppose is everyone's worldly vow
But sornehow it seems,
Mine seemed to have stopped ha1fway
Maybe I ought to let things
Just come what may
So you don't love me!
Vocal:
I'.m not accusing you
Do what you think you ought to do
First it's one thing and then another,
Like you don't love me
So you don't love me
We've given it all, a finat try
You hurt me so bad, I could have died
But ain't no hard feelings
I won't worry rny mind
Wtth such dealings
So you don't 1ove me!
1n a world already filled with misery
I have no intentions,
To let my spirit cop out on me
Live on through the years,
Keep some pride on my face
Discard og the disgrace
I guess I've got to pnd me
A better place
Wherever you might be,
Keep yourself all right
Every heart I suppose,
Has got to step out late at night
As much as I used to do
Keep your love life true,
Keep your love life true
You don't love me!
In a world already filled tvith misery
I have no intentions,
To let my spirit cop out on me
Live on through the years,
Keep some pride on my face
Discard og the disgrace
I guess I've got to find me
A better place
So I'm not accusing you
Do what you think you ought to do
First it's one thing and then another
So you don't love me!
So you don't love me!
So you don't love me!
So you don't love me!
So you don't love me!
So you don't love me!
So you don't love me!
So you don't love me!
So you don't love me!
So you don't love me!

MOTHER'S SON
Ah! Uh! Um! Um! Um! Um!
Raining and the weather's foul
Think I better rest a while
Mother! Mother's son!
Think I'11 rnake a great big kiss
Plant it on 1ittle siss, �
Mother! Mother's son!
Get down and get funky,
Watch out for them junkies
Mother! Mother's son! Mother!
Ah! Uh! Mother's son
Um! Oo! Ah! Mother!
In the street with the people you meet
Getting tired wanting something to eat
Mother! Mother's son!
Know you want to be a superstar
But try to be the child you are
Mother! Mother's son!
Can't let 'em fool you
Or we'll have to school you
Mother! Mother's son!
Uh! Oo! Ah! Mother! Mother's son!
Can't get no work done

Or we'll have to school you
Know you want to be a superstar
But try to be the child you are

CANNOT FIND A WAY
People 'cross the country
They all protest the same old news
The white and black � rich and poor
Find we're al1 standing
In the same old shoes
What have you found �
We just cannot find a way
We cannot find a way
Preacher man preacher rnan
Trying to do the best he can Chorus 4Q
Oh but the text he preaches
Seems obsolete
And we suff er still over the land
We just cannot find a way
Work to make a dollar
Who can find a way
Chorus 4t1
We've got high style Cadillacs
And rockets to the moon
Name your thing, whatever it means
Can be made for you real soon
Work to make a dollar
Watch it melt here in my hand
I cannot cry, can't aff ord to die
But I'm not a superman
:: Who can find a way �
Who can find a way
I told you by and by
Most of the time
You've got to stand alone
I didn't want to make you cry
But ain't t't so nice to be on your own
We're just trying to find a way
Who can find a way
See you once again �
What's been happening
Since you've been around
Watch it melt here in my hand
Tell rne where you've been
What's going down
Can you find a way
To save this world today
We've got high style Cadillacs
And rockets to the moon
Name your thing whatever it means
Can be made for you real soon
I cannot cry, can't agord to die
But I'm not a superman
Superman, he couldn't find a way
Who's gonna save it
Ah! Ah! Ah! Got to find a way
Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!
We just cannot find a way �
To save the world today
Ah! Ah! Got to find a way �
Ah! Ah! Got to find a way!

AIN'T NO LOVE LOST
'Been laying with you gt'rl �
A many a year
Suff ered your every weakness and
Shed with you every tear
Stood looking like a fool �
Ciaiming you're mine
When I know what you were doing
People doing it all the tt'me
Who am I to say,
How women are supposed to play
You claim not to deceive me
And now you want to leave me
Ain't no Iove � Ain't no love �
Ain't no � Am't no
Ain't no love lost �
Ain't no love lost
I guess you've now become
Some Miss Casanova
And with a little luck
You rnay get over
You rnay not kncw that with another
Love's hard to find
And what's been played on me,
Can be played on you in tirne
Who am I to say,
How women are supposed to play
You claim not to deceive me,
And now you want to leave me
Ain't no love � Ain't no love �
Ain't no love 1ost
Ain't no love lost
You told me long ago,
That you really loved me so
And now you've gone and left,
And I'm here by myself
Do you want to know rny feelings,
What is really in my heart
Go on about your business,
From you girl I don't want no part
And it's such a shame
You think you've got it made
But it's not on what you've learned,
. It's just on how you've played
And whomever's next,
I sympathize tonight
It's better with you gone
'Cause I really hke you outta sight
Who am I to say,
How women are supposed to play
You claim not to deceive me,
And now you want to leave me
Ain't no love � Ain't no love �
Ain't no 1ove
Ain't no � Am't no �
Ain't no love lost
Ain't no � Ain't no � Ain't no love �
Ain't no love lost
Ain't no love 1ost �
Ain't no love lost �
Ain't no love lost �
Ain't no love lost!
