BABY DON'T YOU LET ME LOSE THIS

Like a child life played tricks on me
I became the saddest clown
With your love I built up all my dreams
Killed my sorrow down
And calmed my sorrow down

*Oh baby don't you let me lose it
Baby don't you let me lose it
Baby don't you let me lose this thing
Now baby don't you let me lose it
Baby don't you let me lose it
Baby don't you let me lose this thing

And now the days I seem so all alone
You brought me back to my life again
Now I have somewhere to belong
You brought me back to life
Oh you brought me back to life oh yeah

(Repeat *)

You brought me back to my life
You brought me back to my life

(Repeat *)

BETCHA, WOULDN'T HURT ME

Loving you came easily
Yet it made me blind to all there was to see
Now my heart is filled with pain

You understand I never will
How did it come to be that you don't love me still?
Now it's getting to be plain

*If you really cared about anyone else
I know you wouldn't hurt me
If you cared about more than yourself
I bet ya wouldn't go
If you really cared about anyone else
I know you wouldn't hurt me
If you cared about more than yourself
You wouldn't walk out the door

Though some days the blues was our parade,
Still we marched through all the tears we made
Now I find that it wasn't no game of charades that you played

I did my best to bring you joy
How can you just leave me like a broken toy?
Where's the man that once was you?

If I could be within your mind
I would never think to treat you this unkind
The pain you caused will come to you

* (repeat to Fade)

BLACK MAYBE

Black maybe or maybe it's just one you say
Black maybe or maybe this is just your color for today
You've seen the way they've done your bow
And the bow's still down after three hundred years
Like maybe you better come around

Black maybe or maybe you just talkin' trash
Black maybe yeah or maybe your color I better not ask
You've seen the way they done your bow
And the bow's still crying for days in and days out
Black woman you better wash your man's tears away

Maybe you're red, or maybe you're green
But your real color l've never seen
Oh oh black maybe or maybe you're just talkin' trash
Tell me black maybe or really would you rather for me not to ask
You see the time is running out and your man's been sad
For ages and ages and ages
Black maybe it's time for you to wake up, come around, come
around
