Fools Get Wise

I ask you where you're goin' and you tell me where you been
I can tell you been doin' me wrong, baby, from the shape you're in
You better open up you're eyes baby, 'cause fools do get wise
Your late up and sleep all day, you jump and you ramble all night
Well the fool that i am baby, i can tell you ain't doin' me right
You better wake up and realize that fools do get wise
Yeah, when the cat's away, i know the rat 's gonna play
But i can't tell what you're puttin' down, woman, you play when the cat 's around
You better try this one on for size, i tell you fools do get wise
I'm through being you're fool baby, i ain't gonna give you another red cent
Gonna tell the rent man to padlock the door, 'cause i ain't gonna pay your rent no more
You better open up you're eyes woman, fools do get wise

Freedom

Don't understand
How i could be so blind
Something is changing
And i don't know why
Heaven knows how much i sacrifice
(I hear you, i hear you)
Now nothing in this world
Will ever change her mind
Freedom, what she needs
She wants freedom
'cause she got dreams
In her heart it's time to go
A long way from home
Yes, it's a long way from home
I still remember
Her standing there
(Yeah, baby)
The sun was shining
On her soft brown hair
Well, all my life
Every tear i cried
I saw the future in her eyes
Now her heart says it's time to go
A long way from home
Freedom is what she needs
She wants freedom
'cause she's got dreams
And i hope she knows she's not alone
'cause it's a long way from home
It's a long way from home
I think about her and then i pray
That she'll be Safe and warm
(Safe and warm)
I get on my knees
(Down on my knees)
Oh lord
(Oh lord)
Freedom is what she needs
She wants freedom
'cause she's got dreams
Give her freedom to believe
Her heart says it's time to go
A long way from home
Such a long way from home
It's a long way from home
Freedom
(Uh huh, that's what i want)
Freedom
(That's what i need)
Freedom
(That's what i've got to have)
Freedom
(Oh baby, that's what i've gotta have)
Freedom
(Oh baby, baby)
Freedom
Freedom, freedom
(She needs freedom)
Freedom
(That's what she needs)
(She wants, she wants freedom)
Freedom, she wants freedom
(She's got to have)
Freedom, she wants freedom...

Oh she's just a ghetto woman, waitin' for her man to come home

Oh, ghetto woman, she's all alone
She's just a ghetto woman, waitin' for her man to come home
Oh she's a ghetto woman, she's a ghetto woman
Oh, ghetto woman, what's on your mind
Sometimes i look in your face, can't help but cry

Glory Of Love

You got to give a little
Take a little
And let your poor heart
Break a little
That's the story of
That's the glory of love
You've got to laugh a little
Cry a little
Until the clouds
Roll by a little
That's the story of
That's the glory of love
As long as there's the two of us
We've got the world
And all its charms
But when the world
Is through with us
We've got each other's arms
You've got to win a little
Lose a little
And always have
The blues a little
That's the story of
That's the glory of love
As long as there's the two of us
That's right, b.
Yeah, we've got the world
And all its charms
And when the world
Is through with us, baby
We've got each other's arms
You've got to win a little
And lose a little
And always have
The blues a little
That's the story of
That's the glory of
That's the story
The glory of love
That's the story of
That's the glory of love

Go On

I said lord up in heaven
Honey, what's been wrong with you
Just give me one good reason
For what we've been going through
Oh go on
'cause you brought me to my knees
Go on, do just what you please
I'd rather you'd just leave me alone
So baby, go on
Are you sure you still love me
All you seem to want to do is fight
Always telling me
I can't do anything right
You'd better go on
You've got me on my knees
Go on, do just what you please
I'd rather you just leave me alone
So baby, go on
Go on, go on, go on, baby, go on
Go on
'cause you brought me to my knees
Go on, do just what you please
You wanna lose your happy home
Then baby, go on
Now i've run out of patience
And the chances are slim
Since i walked around the corner
Saw you kissing on him
You said he's just a long lost friend
If you please
You'd better take him home now
So darling, where's the keys
Go on, got me on my knees
Go on, do just what you please
You wanna lose your happy home
Then baby, go on, go on
Go on, go on, go on, go on
I'd rather you just leave me alone
Baby, go on

Go Underground

Yes, you thought
You had a good thing, baby
You could do what you wanted to do
Yes, but you'd better
Find you another thing, baby
Because this thing
Is cutting out on you
I'm tired of you putting me down
I think i'll do like a mole
And move underground
I tried to do
Everything for you, baby
Tried to give you everything
Even the stars above
Oh but you wanted someone
To play with, baby
And i needed me someone to love
I say i'm tired of you
Putting me down
I think i'll do like a mole
And move underground
Yes, i can't be a winner, baby
Because i was born to lose
I go to bed every night
With troubles, baby
Because i wake up
Thinking about you
I'm tired of you
Putting me down, baby
I think i'm gonna do like a mole
And move underground
Oh i paid the cost, baby
I even sing the blues
I've done everything to please you
And i'm tired of paying my dues
And i'm tired of you
Putting me down
That's why i'm gonna do like a mole
And move underground
