1. Since I Feel For You

When you just give love
And never get love
You'd better let love depart
I know it's so and yet I know
I can't get you out of my heart

You made me leave my happy home
You took my love and now you're gone
Since I fell for you
Love brings such misery and pain
I know I'll never be the same
Since I fell for you

It's too bad, it's too sad
But I'm in love with you
You love me, then you snub me
Oh what can I do
I'm still in love with you

I guess I'll never see the light
I get the blues most every night
Since I fell for you
Since I fell for you

2. To Love Somebody

There's a light
A certain kind of light
That never shone on me
I want my life to be
Lived with you, lived with you
There's a way
Ev'rybody say
To do each and every little thing
But what does it bring
If I ain't got you, ain't got

[Chorus]
You don't know what it's like
Baby, you don't know what it's like
To love somebody, to love somebody
The way I love you

In my brain
I see your face again
I know my frame of mind
You ain't got to be so blind
And I'm blind, so very blind
I'm a man
Can't you see what I am
I live and breathe for you
But what good does it do
If I ain't got you, ain't got you

[Chorus]

Oh yeh
You don't know what it's like
Baby you don't know what it's like
To love somebody, to love somebody
To love somebody oh yeh

To love somebody
The way I love you
You don't know, you don't know
To love somebody, to love somebody
You don't know, ooh
To love somebody, to love somebody
The way I love you

3. Reach Out (I'll Be There)

Now if you feel that you can't go on
Because all of your hope is gone
And your life is filled with much confusion
Until happiness is just an illusion
And your world around you is crumblin' down
Darling reach out, darlin' reach out for me

[Chorus]
I'll be there
To give you all the love you need
And I'll be there
You can always count on me

When you feel lost and about to give up
'Cause your best just ain't good enough
And you feel the world has grown cold
And you're driftin' out all on your own
And you need a hand to hold
Darlin' reach out, darlin' reach out for me

I'll be there
With the love that will shelter you
I'll be there
With all the love that will see you through

[Chorus]

I can tell the way you hang your head
You're without love and now you're afraid
And through your tears you look around
But there's no peace of mind to be found
I know what you're thinkin', you're alone now
No love of your own
But darlin' reach out
Darlin' reach out for me

[Chorus]

I'll be there
With the love that will shelter you
I'll be there
With the love that will see you through

4. You Send Me

[Chorus:]
Darling, you send me
I know you send me
Darling, you send me
Honest you do, honest you do

Darling, you thrill me
I know you thrill me
Darling you thrill me
Honest you do, honest you do

At first I thought it was just infatuation
But oh, it's lasted for so long
Now I find myself wanting
To marry you
And take you home, wo

[Chorus]

Now I find myself wanting
To marry you
And take you home, wo

5. Yesterday

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks like they're here to stay
Oh I believe in yesterday
Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me
Oh yesterday came suddenly

[Chorus:]
Why she had to go
I don't know, she wouldn't say
I said something wrong
Now I long for yesterday

Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh I believe in yesterday

[Chorus]

6. Hold On, I'm Coming

[Chorus:]
Don't you ever feel sad
Lean on me
When times are bad
When the day comes
And you're down
In a river of trouble
And about to drown

Hold on, I'm comin'
Hold on, I'm comin'

I'm on my way
Your lover
If you get cold, yeah
I will be your cover
Don't have to worry
'Cause I'm here

Hold on, I'm comin'
Hold on, I'm comin'

Reach out to me
For satisfaction
Call my name
For quick reaction baby, yeh

[Chorus]

Hold on, I'm comin'

7. Bring It On Home To Me

If you ever change your mind
About leaving, leaving me behind
Baby bring it to me
Bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me yea
(Yeh) yeh (yeh) yeh (yeh)

I know I laughed when I left
But now I know I only hurt myself
Baby bring it to me
Bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me yea
(Yeh) yeh (yeh) yeh (yeh)

I'll give you jewelry and money too
That ain't all, all I'd do for you
If you bring it to me
Bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me yea
(Yeh) yeh (yeh) yeh (yeh)

You know I'll always be your slave
Till I'm buried, buried in my grave
Oh honey bring it to me
Bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me yea
(Yeh) yeh (yeh) yeh (yeh)

8. Knock On Wood

I don't wanna lose
This good thing
That I got
If I do now
I would surely
Surely lose alot
'Cause your love
Is better
Than any love I know

[Chorus:]
It's like thunder
Lightning
The way you love me is frightening
I better knock, on wood baby

I'm not superstitious
About you
But I can't take no chance
Got me spinning, spinning baby
Baby, I'm in a trance
'Cause your love
Is better
Than any love I know

[Chorus]

I better knock, baby
Ain't no secret
That woman
Fills my lovin' cup
She sees to it
That I get enough
Just one touch
Is better
You know it means so much

[Chorus]

Better knock back
I think I better knock, knock, knock, knock on wood

9. Drift Away

Day after day I'm more confused
But I look for the light through the pourin' rain
You know that's a game that I hate to lose
I'm feelin' the strain
Ain't it a shame

[Chorus:]
Oh, give me the beat boys and free my soul
I want to get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Give me the beat boys and free my soul
I want to get lost in your rock and roll and drift away

Beginin' to think that I'm wastin time
And I don't understand the things I do
The world outside looks so unkind
I'm countin' on you to carry me thru

[Chorus]

And when my mind is free
You know a melody can move me
And when I'm feelin' blue
The guitars comin' thru to soothe me

Thanks for the joy that you've given me
I want you to know I believe in the song
And rhythm and rhyme and harmony
You helped me along, you're makin' me strong

[Chorus]

10. White Christmas

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the tree-tops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the tree-tops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all you Christmases be bright
