- A Song For You
I've been so many places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs, I've made some bad rhymes
I've acted out my life on stages with ten thousand people watching
But we are alone yeah, and I'm singing this song for you
I know your image of me is what I hope to be
I've treated you unkindly many times, but baby can't you see
There's no one more important to me
Baby, baby can't you see through me
- A Taste Of Honey
Winds may blow over the icy sea
I'll take with me the warmth of thee
A taste of honey
A taste much sweeter than wine
I will return
I'll return
I'll come back for the honey and you
- Ain't Too Proud To Beg
I know you wanna leave me, but I refuse to let you go
If I have to beg, plead for sympathy
I don't mind, 'cause it means that much to me
Ain't too proud to beg, sweet darlin'
Please don't leave me, don't you go
Ain't too proud to plead, baby, baby
Please don't leave me, don't you go
- All I Need
(Forgive this fool, my darling.)
Oh, this heart of mine, carries a heavy load.
When I think about how I've hurt you so.
After you've been, been so good to me.
I've been unfaithful, darling, I've caused you misery.
The feeling of guilt, oh, it tortures me.
And only you, my darling, oh, can set me free.
- Ball Of Confusion
People movin' out
People movin' in
Why, because of the color of their skin
Run, run, run, but you sho' can't hide
An eye for an eye
A tooth for a tooth
Vote for me, and I'll set you free
Rap on brother, rap on

You know, every house has a door and every room has a floor.
Every fence has a gate and every beast has a mate.
Everybody, everybody's got something but me.
I ain't got nothing.
Every stove has a fire and every car has a tire.
Every fish has a bowl and every shoe has a sole.
Everybody, everybody's got something but me.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I want a love I can feel
- I Wish It Would Rain
Hmmm
Sunshine, blue skies, please go away.

But I wish it would rain. (How I wish that it would rain)
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

There'll be days of sunshine and laughter
But don't forget you will have to shed some tears - oho
