Well, I couldn't resist the urge to tell you the end of my story
For all those who wanted to know was there life after the pain

After the pain
You come and love me
And I welcome you
You're a glad sight to see

And after the rain
And all that I have been through

What did you think
I would do at this moment
When you're standing before me
With tears in your eyes?
Trying to tell me that you
Have found you another
And you just don't love me no more

What did you think
I would say at this moment
When I'm faced with the kn

When my best friend said
She had lost her man
To her babysitter
I thought she was lying
I said no sixteen year old schoolgirl
Could ever take a man of mine

Staying home with our baby all the time
It kept me kind of broken hearted
So I went and hired myself a bab

A clean up woman is a woman who
Gets all the love we girls leave behind.
The reason I know so much about her
Is because she picked up a man of mine.
Jumpin' slick was my ruin,
'Cause I found out all I was doin'
Was makin' it easy for the clean up woman
To get my man's

I was born in New York City
I was born in Georgia
Girl you're lookin kinda pretty
Don't you think we oughta
Get to know each other better
Take the time to find out while we can
Gotta be some soul between a country girl and a city man
We could find, we could find it's

The guys are gonna wander
Go out and play some times
But girls you must not
Let it get you down
Just take this advice I give you
Just like a mother
You try to match your guy just for two
Don't try to do the things that the guys do
Girls you can't do what the guys

Sometimes on sundays
I sit by the TV
Watching sad movies alone
When it gets to the part
Where the little dog dies
I cry
Somtimes I think
I was born just a little
Behind or ahead of my time
I live in a dream world
Of caring and sharing
And good guys and

It's hard to stop doing something
That's good to you, yeah, yeah
It's hard to stop doing something
That's good to you

It's hard to stop doing something
That's sweet to you, ooh
It's hard to stop doing something
That's good to you

I love a man
Who never sta

Let me be your lovemaker
Let me be your soul shaker
Let me be your lovemaker
Let me be your soul shaker

Around this time last summer
when you and I first met
I thought I was cool
Living by the rules
Trying to play hard to get.

So you found some good-time c

I can't catch no man
Hangin' out at a discotheque
But I believe in the boogie
Oh, but the boogie don't believe in me

Well, I got my way of groovin'
Sittin' down right in my seat
I get soul satisfaction
Yeah, without jumpin' up and down on my feet
Whoa ho disco g

Ooh, ooh, ooh

My baby and i are back together again
Lovin' is better than it's ever been
If it weren't for the trials we've been through
I'd never have the courage to come back to you

We're all entitled to make a mistake
We got to prepare for some heartbreak

It's very ordinary for the secretary
To take a man away from his wife
Girls, we make it necessary
For the secretary to put
A little joy in his life

She takes the time to listen
To what he has to say
While all you do is nag him
A thousand times a day

Her ha

You got to wake up early in the morning
You got to stay up all night long
You still won't catch up 'cause I got the warnin'
I got the feelin' you wanna do me wrong

Like a ball of lightning and a ball of heat
You wanna knock me right off my feet
But I recognise through t

I have so much to say
But in the least most simple way
I love you

I have so much to share
And so to show you how I care
I thank you

I just wanna say thank you
For the many things you've done
For having faith in me
More than anyone

And when people wou

First of all I'd like to say good evening
And we're so pleased that
So many of you could come out and share
In all the love and all the happiness we have in store for you
We want you to have a real good time
'Cause that's just what we have in mind
Is that alright with you

Ooh, ooh, ooh...

Where is the love
Where is the love
You promised me

Where is the love
Where is the love
You promised me

You said I could have
All your loving
If I wanted it
You'd give it to me

Now when it's down
To the real nitty gritty
