End Of The Road Medley

(album: Just For You - 1994)

See, they don't know nothing
They don't know nothing
All this stuff been worn over and redone
And it's alright, I'm glad they getting it
I've been in this business for a long, long time
And even I didn't know where the music was going for awhile
And I was saying
"When are they gonna...
Find that magic?"
"When is the music gonna get back to...
Simple and Basic?"

'Cause I wanna, I wanna go back to a time when...
The music touched your heart and soul and your mind and your body
I wanna go back to a time when...
There were blue lights in the basement
Y'all know what I'm talking about
I wanna go back to a time when
Slow dancing was still in style
And when you got on the dance floor, you touched your partner
You didn't have to look for 'em
I wanna go back to a time when the music made you feel like, you wanted to fall in love
And you'd wanna drive up to Lookout Mountain
But still had enough mystery in it not to tell what you did when you got there
I wanna go back to a time...
When the music was...
Wonderful
It's a part of my life
Sent me to the prom with my curling skirt on
Even if I did drive myself
I wanna go back, I wanna find those people
That made that kind of music, you know
And I just wanna tell 'em "Thank You!"
Thank you for giving us romance, and mystery
I wanna find Nat King Cole and Billy Epstein
And Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder and The Four Tops and The Temptations and The Pips
I wanna find 'em and I wanna walk up to 'em and say "You did it! You found that magic."
I just wanna touch 'ol Teddy Pendergrass
And I wanna tell him, Thank you for saying...

All the things that we've been through
You should understand me like I understand you
Cause babe I know the difference between right and wrong
I ain't gonna do nothing stupid to break up our happy home
Oh don't get so excited when I come home a little late at night
Cause we only act like children when we argue fuss and fight

If you don't know me by now (If you don't know me)
You will never never never know me (No you won't)
Sing it one more time for me

If you don't know me by now

You will never never never know me

Then along came those Spinners, and Phillippe said...

Sometimes a boy will come and go
You reach for love but life won't let cha know
That in the end, you'll still be loving him
But then he's gone. You're all alone

I never learned, to give myself
I've been a fool, but right now I need someone else well well well

Just like little boy blue I, I blow my horn if you

Just lead me home.
I should have known.

It takes a fool, to learn
That love don't love nobody (Yes, it does)
It takes a fool, to learn (Oh, yes it does)
That love don't love no one
It takes a fool (sometime's ya gotta suffer) to learn
That love (make ya bed warm gotta sleep yeah well, well) don't love no one
It takes a fool (awwwww yes it does) to learn
That love don't love no one (no one, no one)
I wanna go back to a time when the music touched your heart and your soul and your mind and your body
I wanna go back to a time when music made you feel like falling in love
Then one day, I riding down the express way
And this song came on the radio
I had to pull over to the side and stop
Cause I felt like just getting and saying...
"Ohhh! They finally got the message, they finally got the message"
I wanted to tell 'em, "Thank You!"
Thank you Boyz II Men
For telling 'em one more time

We belong together
And you know that I'm right
Why do you play with my heart?
Why do you play with my mind?

Said we'd be forever, said it'd never would die
How could you love me and leave me
And never say goobye?

I can't sleep at night without holding you tight
Each time I try I just break down and cry
Pain in my head oh I'd rather be dead
Spinning around and around

Although we've come to the end of the road
Still I can't let you go
It's unnatural, you belong to me, I belong to you
Boy, I know you really love me
You just don't realize
You've never been there before
It's only your first time

Maybe I'll forgive you
Maybe you'll try
We should be happy together
Forever, you and I

If you love me again like you loved me before?
This time I want you to love me much more
This time instead just come to my bed
And baby just don't let me down

Although we've come to the end of the road (End of the road)
Still I can't let you go (End of the road, I just can't, I just can't, I just can't, I just can't let you go, baby)
It's unnatural(it's unnatural), you belong to me, I belong to you
Go to the end of the road (To the end of the road)
Still I can't let you go (Can't let you go, baby)
It's unnatural (it's unnatural), you belong to me, I belong to you
And I wanna say I'm lonely
Lonely
Lonely
Lonely
Lonely
Heyey, Nooooo-ooo-oooh
Heeeeyyyy
Heyeyeyeyey
Come on, count on me
Why don't we
Go to the end of the road
Still I can't let you go (Still I can't, I can't, I can't let you go)
It's unnatural (it's unnatural), you belong to me, I belong to you
Go to the end of the road (I gotta go)
Still I can't let you go (I gotta go to the end of the road, I just can't, I just can't, I just can't, I just can't let you go)
It's unnatural (it's unnatural), you belong to me(you belong to me, I belong to you), I belong to you (To you)
I gotta go
Why don't we go to the end of the road
Still I can't let you go
It's unnatural, you belong to me, I belong to you
(It's something that's worth waiting for. Searching for, hoping for.
I tell you, finally, no, no
Don't give up
It's the universal language that touches everybody
Love is the one thing, the world has in common
No matter who you are, or where you live
The questions and answers are the same)
