"God Bless The Child" lyrics
"God Bless The Child"
(originally by Billie Holiday)
Them that's got shall get
Them that's not shall lose
So the Bible says and it still is news
Mama may have, papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own, yeah
That's got his own
Oh yeah
Yes, the strong gets more
While the weak ones fade
Empty pockets don't ever make the grade, no, no, no, no
Mama may have, papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own, yeah
That's got his own
Oh yeah
Money, you've got lots of friends
Crowding 'round your door, oh yeah
But when you're gone and spending ends
Oh, they don't come around anymore, oh yeah
Rich relations give
Crust of bread and such
You can help yourself
But please don't take too much, no, no, no
Mama may have, papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own, yeah
That's got his own
Oh, rich relations give
Crust of bread and such
You can help yourself
But oh don't take too much, no, no, no
Mama may have, papa may have
God bless the child that's got his own, hoo
That's got his own, oh, hmm
That's got his own, yeah, hmm
I've got my own, hmm
That's got his own

Commodores - "High On Sunshine" Tripping on the life that I'm living
Life's too short to bother me, world
Give me room to see where I'm going
All I want is to be stone free
Free like the wind that blows, yeah
Shine on you world of...
The Supremes - "Baby Love" Ooh baby love, my baby love
I need you, oh how I need you
But all you do is treat me bad
Break my heart and leave me sad
Tell me, what did I do wrong
To make you stay away so long
'Cause baby love,...
The Jacksons - "Time Waits For No One" Lonely
In my darkened room
Sad and weary
Persevering for love
Sad and weary
Persevering
And I hope that she is thinking
To come back to me
Is it possible she's thinking of me at all
Have I gone too...
The Staple Singers - "The Weight" I pulled into Nazareth, was feelin' about half past dead
I just need some place where I can lay my head
"Hey, mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?"
He just grinned and shook my hand...
The Ronettes - "I Wonder" Mama said before I'm grown
I'll find somebody I can call my own
So when the stars are shining bright
I dream about the boy who's gonna hold me tight
And I wonder, wonder who he'll be
Oh I wonder,...
