They say you've found somebody new But that won't stop me loving you I just can't let you walk away Forget the love I had for you

Before you leave be sure you find You want his love much more than mine 'Cause I'll just say we've never met If I'm that easy to forget

Woman's Got Soul Composer(s): Curtis Mayfield Original Performers: The Impressions Covered by various other artists
She may not be the best lookin' woman I ever did see Nor have the charms of the ladies Of high society But the woman's got soul Worth all money and gold And all the love that I have belongs To the woman with soul Now I'm just a regular fellow I don't need much I don't need a Cadillac car Or diamonds and such But the woman that I hold She's got to have soul And then I'm richer than the richest gold If the woman's got soul Well, I don't need a woman That's got a whole lotta class Because class in a woman Don't mean she's gonna last I need the kind of woman That when I hold she fits so tight, yeah Oh, and when she throws it on me I give in without a fight Then I know The woman's got soul Worth all money and gold And then I'm richer than the richest gold If the woman's got soul If the woman's got soul
Am I Losin' Composer(s): Allen Collins - Ronnie Van Zant Performer(s): Lynyrd Skynyrd
I recall when I used to come home never had a dime But Lord I always had a good time And I recall drinkin' wine with one of my friends Lord, I can't go back again
Am I losin' my own way back home Am I losin' a good friend that I've known Am I losin' won't you tell me how I've sinned Why am I losin one of my best friends
And I recall this friend of mine I knew so well It goes to show Lord you just can't tell Now my friend won't talk to me Let me tell you why he thinks I 've changed because of a dollar sign
Am I losin' my own way back home Am I losin' a good friend that I've known Am I losin' won't you tell me how I've sinned Why am I losin one of my best friends
And its so strange when you get just a little money Your so called friends want to act just a little funny They'll blame you
But I'm not the one that's here to blame Its you my friend that's really changed Its a shame, such a shame Am I losin' once again
Why these things happen, Lord I don't understand But Lord it can sure hurt a man Why my friend won't take me as I am 'Cause your friend Lord is the most important thing
Am I losin' my own way back home Am I losin' a good friend that I've known Am I losin' won't you tell me how I've sinned Why am I losin one of my best friends

Am I Blue? Composer(s): Harry Akst - Grant Clarke First release by: Ethel Waters & Her Ebony 4 - 1929 Covered by multiple other artists
I'm just a woman, a lonely woman Waiting on the weary shore I'm just a woman who's only human One you should feel sorry for
It was a morning, long before dawn Without a warning I found he was gone How could he do it, why should he do it He never done it before
Am I blue, am I blue Ain't these tears in these eyes telling you How can you ask me am I blue Why, wouldn't you be too If each plan with your man Done fell through
There was a time When I was his only one But now I'm the sad and lonely one ... lonely Was I gay, until today Now he's gone, and we're through Am I blue
Woman Without Love Composer(s): Jerry Donald Chestnut Performer(s): Johnny Darrell; and various other artists
Her eyes tell the story so well She tries hard to hide So little expected, too often neglected A woman stripped of her pride
Always so careful not to cry Until I fall asleep And there in the silence She lies with a tear on her cheek
The thought comes to mind that I read sometime Or heard it, I can't quite recall That a man without love's only half of a man But a woman is nothing at all
She knows I don't love her Although, heaven knows how I've tried Her reason for living, to go right on giving Is the one thing that she's been denied
Without any warning In the wee hours of the morning she cries The hurt deep inside she tries so to hide Is beginning to show in her eyes
Then a thought comes to mind that I read sometime Or heard it, I can't quite recall That a man without love's only half of a man But a woman is nothing at all
Yeah, a man without love's only half of a man But a woman is nothing at all
Am I Asking Too Much Composer(s): Richards - R. Dean Taylor Performer(s): Diana Ross & The Supremes
Through a shadowed world I drift in emptiness and doubt Because I push aside the love I just can't live without
Please won't you give my crying eye Just one more chance to see That look upon your face That promised love to me
Am I asking too much Or is this love we had Lost beyond recall Am I asking too much Can we start again and rise above it all
Kiss my ears with gentle words I need to hear (Baby I love you) Let your arms reach out and Tell me that you need me dear (Baby I need you) 'Cause if you need me darling Baby, you'll forgive (Forgive me dear) You'll forgive me says the breath of air I need to live
Am I asking too much Even though I hurt you so Don't say we're through Am I asking too much Won't you let me try And make it up to you
All the precious hours we've wasted All the bitter tears we've tasted I need your love inside of me Make me the girl I used to be
In your heart is there no longer room for me to live When all I did was take, all you did was give All the tears I made you cry Turned your heart to stone Has loneliness made up your mind To live alone
Am I asking too much Or is this love we had Lost beyond recall Am I asking too much Can we start again and rise above it all
Am I asking too much Won't you let me try And make it up to you Am I asking too much Even though I hurt you so Don't say were through
Am I asking too much Or is this love we had Lost beyond recall

Well, she's the woman of the world And God she know it She'll turn my head Every time she shows it Yeah, nothing you can do Nothing you can say No way you can try to change her way She might be gone tomorrow Honey, say what you gotta say
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy what a woman
Well I tried, I tried so hard to please her She'd give me a look if I beg to tease her There's nothing you can say Nothing you can do No way you can try to choochie coo She might be gone tomorrow Oh, Lordy what you gonna do
And I tried with an open hand And a heart of sorrow Hoped that everything would be all right Don't save too much lovin' for tomorrow Get out all your lovin' here tonight
And I tried with an open hand And a heart of sorrow Hoped that everything would be all right Don't save too much lovin' for tomorrow Get out all your lovin' here tonight

Always wanting you, but never having you Makes it hard to face tomorrow 'cause I Know I'll be wanting you again Always loving you, but never touching you Sometimes hurts me almost more than I can stand
I'd been better off if I'd turned away and never Looked at you the second time 'Cause I really had my life all together till your eyes meet mine
And there I say a yearning and a feeling 'cross The room that you felt for me Wish I'd had a way of knowing that the things we had in Mind could never be
Always wanting you, but never having you Makes it hard to face tomorrow 'cause I Know I'll be wanting you again Always loving you, but never touching you Sometimes hurts me almost more than I can stand
Woman Of Labrador Composer(s): Andy Vine Performer(s): Andy Vine; Lindsay Street
Woman of Labrador Children round your cabin door Wondering when their daddy will be home He's gone on trapping lines Seems like such a long long time Since he's waved his last farewell And left you alone
Woman of Labrador Turn your mind to daily chores Hunting and catching fish To feed your family At night when they're all in bed You go outside and raise your head Watch the northern lights go dancing High over the sea
Daughter of Labrador Those days are here no more You wonder if your baby will ever understand The hardships that you endured When everyone you knew was poor Sharing everything you had And living off the land
Woman of Labrador Children round your cabin door Wondering when their daddy will be home He's gone on the trapping lines Seems like such a long long time Since he's waved his last farewell And left you alone
I Washed My Face In The Morning Dew Composer(s): Tom T. Hall First release by: Tom T. Hall - 1967 Covered by multiple other artists
The first strange town I was ever in The county was hangin' a man Nobody cared if he lived or died And I just didn't understand
So I washed my face in the morning dew Bathed my soul in the sun Washed my face in the morning dew And kept on movin' along
The second strange town that I was in They were laughin' at a poor crippled man Beggin' for nickels and dimes on the street And I just didn't understand
So I washed my face in the morning dew Bathed my soul in the sun Washed my face in the morning dew And kept on movin' along
The third strange town that I was in Was settled, peaceful and nice The rich got richer and the poor got poorer And to me it didn't seem right
So I washed my face in the morning dew Bathed my soul in the sun Washed my face in the morning dew And kept on movin' along
Someday times are bound to change It can't be very far And each injustice I have seen Will come before the bar
Then I'll wash my face in the morning dew Bathe my soul in the sun Wash my face in the morning dew And my journey will be done Then my journey will be done
Well I went to my good doctor not so long ago A-walkin in a circle and moanin low He looked at me and said, good lord above, son You need a vaccination of a-woman love
Well Im lookin for a woman with a one track mind A huggin and a kissin and a smoochin all the time Id build her a castle to the moon up above I sure am a needin me some woman love (lets rock)
Well Im lookin for a lovin gal that needs a lot of care Not worried about her figure or the color of her hair The doctor really scared me when he said, good lord above You sure am a-needin you some woman love
Well Im tired of walkin circles, tired of moanin low I want my baby with me everywhere I go I want my lovin baby to call him turtle dove I sure am a-needin me some woman love (lets rock again)
Well Im tired of walkin circles, tired of moanin low I want my baby with me everywhere I go I want my lovin baby to call him turtle dove I sure am a-needin me some woman love
