One For All Time lyrics - Chaka Khan
I can still remember, the magic I saw in your eyes, so honest
And so tender, true love with no compromise
[Hook:]
All those things I miss, when I remenise, about you baby... ummhmm
[Chorus:]
Why can't we go back in time, when I was your and you where mine,
Love is special ment to be, eternally our love is one for all time
(Unnnmmm... time... mmmmm)-this time only
How is it I see you, in every strangers face, I don't wanna need you,
But my stubborn heart keeps going, and I just can't erase
[Hook:]
Oh oh oh oh all these things I miss when I remenise, about you boy,
Bet you didn't know, how much I love ya, won't mean to show ya baby
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
I got to hear your conversation, intellegent debating, baby that
Would move me, they way you, make me fell so special, how could
You forget that, you where made for me, you where made for me
[Chorus]
Skatting, one for all time, mine, adid you know there's a love, ummm, our love, oo la la la la la, the greatest love, of all time, I love ya babe, the greatest love of all time, I love ya babe
And so tender, true love with no compromise

Angel lyrics - Chaka Khan
Troubled little angel
Inconsistent flying blind most of the time
Drama queen
Preening and untangling
The feathers in her wings
Captured by her dreams
Desperatly she sings
Needy little baby
Open up you heart
Don't you think it's bad to feel
Needy little baby
Hiding deep inside
Don't you know your love can heal
Troubled little angel
Inconsistent flying blind most of the time
Don't know who to be
Always rearranging the wreckage of her life
Ever holding tight
To the hope that she'll be free
Needy little baby
Open up you're eyes
Don't you be afraid to feel
Needy little Baby
Hiding deep inside
Don't you know that love can heal
Talking to you Angel.. Angel
Deep inside of me
Talking to you Angel... Angel
One day you'll be free
Angel... Angel
Deep inside of me
Angel... Angel
One day you'll be free
One day you'll open your wings
One day you'll fly...
Inconsistent flying blind most of the time
Drama queen
Preening and untangling
The feathers in her wings
Captured by her dreams
Desperatly she sings
Needy little baby
Open up you heart
Don't you think it's bad to feel
Needy little baby
Hiding deep inside
Don't you know your love can heal
Troubled little angel
Inconsistent flying blind most of the time
Don't know who to be
Always rearranging the wreckage of her life
Ever holding tight
To the hope that she'll be free
Needy little baby
Open up you're eyes
Don't you be afraid to feel
Needy little Baby
Hiding deep inside
Don't you know that love can heal
Talking to you Angel.. Angel
Deep inside of me
Talking to you Angel... Angel
One day you'll be free
Angel... Angel
Deep inside of me
Angel... Angel
One day you'll be free
One day you'll open your wings
One day you'll fly...
Will You Love Me? lyrics - Chaka Khan
I used to think that I was happy
But I was just lying to myself
Made me believe no one would have me
So I put my poor heart on the shelf
Like a heatwave
Like a sud-den wind
Like a slap to the essence of my being
Boy you came in, like a sud-den wind
You know you blew me away
Away...
[Chorus:]
Will you love me
Will you be-the-one
Who is coming, coming to my rescue
Will you care for me
Will you com-fort me
Will you be the one
The one who's gonna rescue me
I feel like I was born just for you
I am so glad you came in time
Now that your here
I just adore you baby
To lose this love would be a crime
Like a heatwave
Like a sud-den wind
Like a slap to the essence of my being
Boy you came in, like a sud-den wind
You know you blew me away
Away...
[Chorus:]
Will you love me
Will you be the one
Who is coming, coming to my rescue
Will you care for me
Will you com-fort me
Will you be the one
The one who's gonna rescue me
[Music Interlude]
[Chorus:]
Will you love me
Will you be the one
Who is coming, coming to my rescue
Will you care for me
Will you com-fort me
Will you be the one
The one who's gonna rescue me
Will you love me
Will you love me
Will you love me
Will you love me
Will you love me
Will you love me
Will you love me
Will you love me
[Chorus:]
Will you love me
Will you be the one
Who is coming, coming to my rescue
Will you care for me
Will you com-fort me
Will you be the one
The one who's gonna rescue me
But I was just lying to myself
Made me believe no one would have me
So I put my poor heart on the shelf

Castles Made Of Sand lyrics - Chaka Khan
Down the street you can hear her scream you're a disgrace
As she slams the door in his drunken face
And now he stands outside
And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
And his tears fall and burn the garden green
And so castles made of sand fall in the sea, eventually
A little indian brave who before he was ten,
Played wargames in the woods with his indian friends
And he built up a dream that when he grew up
He would be a fearless warrior indian cheif
Many moons past and more the dream grew strong until
Tomorrow he would sing his first warsong and fight his first battle
But something went wrong, surprise attack killed him in his sleep that night
And so castles made of sand melts into the sea, eventually
There was a young girl, who's heart was a frown
cause she was crippled for life,
And she couldn't speak a sound
And she wished and prayed she could stop living,
So she decided to die
She drew her wheelchair to the edge of the shore
And to her legs she smiled you wont hurt me no more
But then a sight shed never seen made her jump and say
Look a golden winged ship is passing my way
And it really didn't have to stop, it just kept on going...
And so castles made of sand slips into the sea, eventually
As she slams the door in his drunken face
And now he stands outside
And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
And his tears fall and burn the garden green
And so castles made of sand fall in the sea, eventually
A little indian brave who before he was ten,
Played wargames in the woods with his indian friends
And he built up a dream that when he grew up
He would be a fearless warrior indian cheif
Many moons past and more the dream grew strong until
Tomorrow he would sing his first warsong and fight his first battle
But something went wrong, surprise attack killed him in his sleep that night
And so castles made of sand melts into the sea, eventually
There was a young girl, who's heart was a frown
cause she was crippled for life,
And she couldn't speak a sound
And she wished and prayed she could stop living,
So she decided to die
She drew her wheelchair to the edge of the shore
And to her legs she smiled you wont hurt me no more
But then a sight shed never seen made her jump and say
Look a golden winged ship is passing my way
And it really didn't have to stop, it just kept on going...
And so castles made of sand slips into the sea, eventually

Sign 'O' The Times lyrics - Chaka Khan
Oh yeah
In France, skinny man
Died of a big disease with a little name
By chance his girlfriend came across a needle
Soon she did the same
At home there are seventeen year old boys
And their idea of fun
Is being in a gang called The Disciples
High on crack, totin' a machine gun
Time
Hurricane Annie ripped the ceiling of a church
And killed everyone inside
You turn on the telly and every other story
Tellin' you somebody died
Sister killed her baby 'cause she could afford to feed it
They were sending rockets to the moon
September my cousin tried reefer for the very first time
Now he's doing horse, it's June
Time, time, yeah
It's silly no, when a rocket ship explodes
Everybody still want to fly
Some say a man ain't happy
Unless a man truly dies, oh why?
Time, time, time
Baby make a speech, star wars fly
Neighbors just shine it on
But if the night falls and a bomb falls
Then everybody sees dawn
Time, time
It's silly now, when a rocket ship explodes
Everybody still wants to fly
Some say a man ain't happy, truly, yeah
Until he dies, oh why?
Time, time, time, time
Sign o' the times mess with your mind
Hurry before it's too late
Let's fall in love, get married, have a baby
We'll call him Nate, if it's a boy
Time, time
Everybody, yeah
Sign o' the times
??
Time, sign o' the times
Don't you know we can change the world?
Don't you know every boy and every girl
Deserves to live life, deserves a peace of mind?

Packed My Bags lyrics - Chaka Khan
I can tell by the look that's in your eyes
And I'm not surprised
You got to move on like the sun got to rise
I'm just holdin' you down
[BRIDGE:]
But the universe is calling you
You are one of chosen fews
You got to pay your dues
Me and the baby gonna miss you
I see your smile in her face
I only wish we were with you now
It's a lonely, lonely place

Hey, pack'd my bags, put 'em at the door
Hey, pack'd my bags, put 'em at the door
Hey, pack'd my bags, put 'em at the door

The blues, you'll shake it

Oh, don't let them change you
Come like thieves in the night
Oh, don't' let them rearrange you, boy
You've got to do what's right

You Belong To Me lyrics - Chaka Khan
Why'd you tell me this?
While you look for my reaction
What do you need to know?
Don't you know I'll always be the one?
You don't have to prove to me you're beautiful to strangers
I've got lovin' eyes of my own
You belong to me, in this life
Anyone could tell
Any fool can see who you need
I know you all too well
You don't have to prove to me you're beautiful to strangers
I've got lovin' eyes and I can tell
You belong to me
Tell him you were foolin'
You belong to me, you belong to me
Tell him he's a stranger
You belong to me
While you look for my reaction
What do you need to know?
Don't you know I'll always be the one?
You don't have to prove to me you're beautiful to strangers
I've got lovin' eyes of my own
You belong to me, in this life
Anyone could tell
Any fool can see who you need
I know you all too well
You don't have to prove to me you're beautiful to strangers
I've got lovin' eyes and I can tell
You belong to me
Tell him you were foolin'
You belong to me, you belong to me
Tell him he's a stranger
You belong to me
Super Life lyrics - Chaka Khan
A mama's cryin'
'Cause another young man has gone and died
He's not some statistic
He's another awesome destiny denied
So I've got to stand tall
I'm gonna live a super life
For the rest of my life
I'm gonna live a super life
Super life, super life, yeah
We take it all so lightly
How did we get so 'climatized
On the 9 o'clock news nightly
Genocide of babies
I can't believe my eyes
Right or wrong
I'm gonna live a super life
For the rest of my life
I'm gonna live a super life
Super life, super life, yeah
You know the wrath of a woman
Is gonna bring about hell to pay
Everyone together come on get with me
Or get on out my way
I'm gonna live a super life
I'm gonna live a super life
(For the babies)
I'm gonna live a super life

Hazels Hips lyrics - Chaka Khan
Hazel's hips are a concert of contours and curves
As she slips to and fro 'round the tables she serves
I buy six meals a day in my favorite cafe
'Cause they see Hazel that way
Hazel's eyes are divine and her hair is so fine
Yeah but her hips bring the tips
Hazel's hips have a rhythm so gently controlled
That her trips to the kitchen are a joy to behold
I love to just sit and gaze at the way Hazel sways
When she's carrying trays
Hazel's eyes are divine and her hair is so fine
Yeah but those hips bring the tips
Hazel takes me my soup, serves me my cup of tea
And my heart flips to see Hazels's smiling at me"
So I say "honey bunch can I have you for lunch?"
But Hazel just gives me a hunch
And says "don't hand me no line 'bout you think I'm so fine"
'Cause yes the tips
Ooh Hazel's hips
As she slips to and fro 'round the tables she serves
I buy six meals a day in my favorite cafe
'Cause they see Hazel that way
Hazel's eyes are divine and her hair is so fine
Yeah but her hips bring the tips
Hazel's hips have a rhythm so gently controlled
That her trips to the kitchen are a joy to behold
I love to just sit and gaze at the way Hazel sways
When she's carrying trays
Hazel's eyes are divine and her hair is so fine
Yeah but those hips bring the tips
Hazel takes me my soup, serves me my cup of tea
And my heart flips to see Hazels's smiling at me"
So I say "honey bunch can I have you for lunch?"
But Hazel just gives me a hunch
And says "don't hand me no line 'bout you think I'm so fine"
'Cause yes the tips
Ooh Hazel's hips
The Best Is Yet To Come lyrics - Chaka Khan
Out of the tree of life I just picked me a plum
You came along and everything's startin' to hum
Still, it's a real good bet, the best is yet to come
Best is yet to come and babe, won't that be fine?
You think you've seen the sun, but you ain't seen it shine
A-Wait till the warm-up's underway
Wait till our lips have met
And wait till you see that sunshine day
You ain't seen nothin' yet
The best is yet to come and babe, won't it be fine?
Best is yet to come, come the day you're mine
Come the day you're mine
I'm gonna teach you to fly
We've only tasted the wine
We're gonna drain the cup dry
Wait till your charms are right for these arms to surround
You think you've flown before, but baby, you ain't left the ground
A-Wait till you're locked in my embrace
Wait till I draw you near
A-Wait till you see that sunshine place
Ain't nothin' like it here
The best is yet to come and babe, won't it be fine?
The best is yet to come, come the day you're mine
Come the day you're mine
And you're gonna be mine
You came along and everything's startin' to hum
Still, it's a real good bet, the best is yet to come
Best is yet to come and babe, won't that be fine?
You think you've seen the sun, but you ain't seen it shine
A-Wait till the warm-up's underway
Wait till our lips have met
And wait till you see that sunshine day
You ain't seen nothin' yet
The best is yet to come and babe, won't it be fine?
Best is yet to come, come the day you're mine
Come the day you're mine
I'm gonna teach you to fly
We've only tasted the wine
We're gonna drain the cup dry
Wait till your charms are right for these arms to surround
You think you've flown before, but baby, you ain't left the ground
A-Wait till you're locked in my embrace
Wait till I draw you near
A-Wait till you see that sunshine place
Ain't nothin' like it here
The best is yet to come and babe, won't it be fine?
The best is yet to come, come the day you're mine
Come the day you're mine
And you're gonna be mine
Crazy lyrics - Chaka Khan
I'm crazy
Crazy for feeling so lonely
I'm crazy
Crazy for feeling so blue
I know
You'd love me as long as you wanted
Then someday
Leave me for somebody new
Worry
Why do I let myself worry
Wond'ring
What in the world did I do
Crazy
For thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for crying
I'm crazy for trying
I'm crazy for loving you
Crazy for feeling so lonely
I'm crazy
Crazy for feeling so blue
I know
You'd love me as long as you wanted
Then someday
Leave me for somebody new
Worry
Why do I let myself worry
Wond'ring
What in the world did I do
Crazy
For thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for crying
I'm crazy for trying
I'm crazy for loving you
I'm In The Mood For Love lyrics - Chaka Khan
I'm in the mood for love
Simply because you're near me
Funny, but when you're near me
I'm in the mood for love
Heaven is in your eyes
Bright as the stars we're under
Oh, is it any wonder?
I'm in the mood for love
Why stop to think of whether
This little dream might fade?
Let's put our hearts together
Now we are one, I'm not afraid
If there's a cloud above
If it should rain, we'll let it
But for tonight forget it
I'm in the mood for love
Why stop to think of whether
This little dream might fade?
Let's put our hearts together
Now we are one, I'm not afraid
If there's a cloud above
If it should rain, we'll let it
But, for tonight, forget it
I'm in the mood for love
Simply because you're near me
Funny, but when you're near me
I'm in the mood for love
Heaven is in your eyes
Bright as the stars we're under
Oh, is it any wonder?
I'm in the mood for love
Why stop to think of whether
This little dream might fade?
Let's put our hearts together
Now we are one, I'm not afraid
If there's a cloud above
If it should rain, we'll let it
But for tonight forget it
I'm in the mood for love
Why stop to think of whether
This little dream might fade?
Let's put our hearts together
Now we are one, I'm not afraid
If there's a cloud above
If it should rain, we'll let it
But, for tonight, forget it
I'm in the mood for love
Is That All There Is lyrics - Chaka Khan
"I remember when I was a very little girl, our house caught on fire.
I'll never forget the look on my father's face as he gathered me up in his arms
And raced through the burning building out to the pavement.
I stood there shivering in my pajamas and watched the whole world go up in flames.
And when it was all over I said to myself,
'Is that all there is to a fire?'"
Is that all there is?
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my friends,
Then let's keep dancing.
Let's break out the booze
And have a ball
If that's all there is.
"And when I was 12 years old, my father took me to the circus, the greatest show on earth.
There were clowns and elephants and dancing bears and a beautiful lady in pink tights flew high above our heads.
And as I sat there watching the marvelous spectacle, I had the feeling that something was missing.
I don't know what, but when it was over I said to myself,
'Is that all there is to a circus?'"
Is that all there is?
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my friends,
Then let's keep dancing.
Let's break out the booze
And have a ball
If that's all there is.
"Then I fell in love with the most wonderful boy in the world.
We would take long walks by the river or just sit for hours gazing into each other's eyes.
We were so very much in love. Then one day, he went away.
And I thought I'd die, but I didn't.
And when I didn't, I said to myself,
'Is that all there is to love?'"
Is that all there is?
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my friends,
Then let's keep dancing.
"I know what you must be saying to yourselves.
'If that's the way she feels about it why doesn't she just end it all?'
Oh, no. Not me. I'm in no hurry for that final disappointment.
For I know just as well as I'm standing here talking to you,
When that final moment comes and I'm breathing my last breath,
I'll be saying to myself..."
Is that all there is?
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my friends,
Then let's keep dancing.
Let's break out the booze
And have a ball
If that's all there is.

Stormy Weather lyrics - Chaka Khan
Don't know why
There's no sun up in the sky
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain't together
Keeps raining all the time
Life is bare
Gloom and misery everywhere
Stormy weather
Just can't get my poor old self together
I'm weary all the time, the time
So weary all of the time
When he went away
The blues walked in and met me
If he stays away, old rocking chair will get me
All I do is pray
The lord above will let me
Walk in the sun once more
Can't go on
Everything I had is gone
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain't together
Keeps raining all the time
Keeps raining all of the time
I walk around,
Heavy-hearted and sad
Night comes around
And I'm still feeling bad
Rain pourin' down
Blinding every hope I had
This pitter 'n patter 'n beatin' 'n spatterin' drivin' me mad
Love, love, love, love
This misery will be the end of me
[Bridge]
When he went away
The blues walked in and met me
If he stays away, old rocking chair will get me
All I do is pray
The lord above will let me
Walk in the sun once more
Can't go on
Everything I had is gone
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain't together
Keeps raining all the time, the time
Keeps raining all the time
There's no sun up in the sky
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain't together
Keeps raining all the time
Life is bare
Gloom and misery everywhere
Stormy weather
Just can't get my poor old self together
I'm weary all the time, the time
So weary all of the time
When he went away
The blues walked in and met me
If he stays away, old rocking chair will get me
All I do is pray
The lord above will let me
Walk in the sun once more
Can't go on
Everything I had is gone
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain't together
Keeps raining all the time
Keeps raining all of the time
I walk around,
Heavy-hearted and sad
Night comes around
And I'm still feeling bad
Rain pourin' down
Blinding every hope I had
This pitter 'n patter 'n beatin' 'n spatterin' drivin' me mad
Love, love, love, love
This misery will be the end of me
[Bridge]
When he went away
The blues walked in and met me
If he stays away, old rocking chair will get me
All I do is pray
The lord above will let me
Walk in the sun once more
Can't go on
Everything I had is gone
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain't together
Keeps raining all the time, the time
Keeps raining all the time
Round Midnight lyrics - Chaka Khan
It begins to tell,
'round midnight, midnight.
I do pretty well, till after sundown,
Suppertime I'm feelin' sad;
But it really gets bad,
'round midnight.
Memories always start 'round midnight
Haven't got the heart to stand those memories,
When my heart is still with you,
And ol' midnight knows it, too.
When a quarrel we had needs mending,
Does it mean that our love is ending.
Darlin' I need you, lately I find
You're out of my heart,
And I'm out of my mind.
Let our hearts take wings'
'round midnight, midnight
Let the angels sing,
For your returning.
Till our love is safe and sound.
And old midnight comes around.
Feelin' sad,
Really gets bad
Round.....Round.......Round....Mid.....night....
'round midnight, midnight.
I do pretty well, till after sundown,
Suppertime I'm feelin' sad;
But it really gets bad,
'round midnight.
Memories always start 'round midnight
Haven't got the heart to stand those memories,
When my heart is still with you,
And ol' midnight knows it, too.
When a quarrel we had needs mending,
Does it mean that our love is ending.
Darlin' I need you, lately I find
You're out of my heart,
And I'm out of my mind.
Let our hearts take wings'
'round midnight, midnight
Let the angels sing,
For your returning.
Till our love is safe and sound.
And old midnight comes around.
Feelin' sad,
Really gets bad
Round.....Round.......Round....Mid.....night....
Teach Me Tonight lyrics - Chaka Khan
Did you say that I've got a lot to learn
Well don't think I'm trying not to learn
Since this is the perfect spot to learn
Teach me tonight
Starting with the ABC of it
Getting right down to the XYZ of it
Help me solve the mystery of it
Teach me tonight
The sky's a blackboard high above you
And if a shooting star goes by
I'll use that star to write "I love you"
A thousand times across the sky
One thing isn't very clear my love
Teachers shouldn't stand so near my love
Graduation's almost here my love
You'd better teach me tonight
I've played loves scenes in a flick or two
And I've also met a chick or two
But I still can learn a trick or two
Hey teach me tonight
I who thought I knew the score of it
Kind of think I should know much more of it
Off the wall, the bed, the floor of it
Hey teach me tonight
The midnight hours come slowly creeping
When there's no one there but you
There must be more to life than sleeping
Single in a bed for two
What I need most is post graduate
What I feel is hard to articulate
If you want me to matriculate
You'd better teach me tonight
What do you get for lessons
Teach me... come on and teach me... teach me tonight
Well don't think I'm trying not to learn
Since this is the perfect spot to learn
Teach me tonight
Starting with the ABC of it
Getting right down to the XYZ of it
Help me solve the mystery of it
Teach me tonight
The sky's a blackboard high above you
And if a shooting star goes by
I'll use that star to write "I love you"
A thousand times across the sky
One thing isn't very clear my love
Teachers shouldn't stand so near my love
Graduation's almost here my love
You'd better teach me tonight
I've played loves scenes in a flick or two
And I've also met a chick or two
But I still can learn a trick or two
Hey teach me tonight
I who thought I knew the score of it
Kind of think I should know much more of it
Off the wall, the bed, the floor of it
Hey teach me tonight
The midnight hours come slowly creeping
When there's no one there but you
There must be more to life than sleeping
Single in a bed for two
What I need most is post graduate
What I feel is hard to articulate
If you want me to matriculate
You'd better teach me tonight
What do you get for lessons
Teach me... come on and teach me... teach me tonight
To Sir With Love lyrics - Chaka Khan
Those schoolgirl days of telling tales and biting nails are gone
But in my mind I know they will still live on and on
But how do you thank someone who has taken you from crayons to perfume?
It isn't easy, but I'll try
If you wanted the sky I would write across the sky in letters
That would soar a thousand feet high 'To Sir, With Love'
The time has come for closing books and long last looks must end
And as I leave I know that I am leaving my best friend
A friend who taught me right from wrong and weak from strong
That's a lot to learn, but what can I give you in return?
If you wanted the moon I would try to make a start
But in my mind I know they will still live on and on
But how do you thank someone who has taken you from crayons to perfume?
It isn't easy, but I'll try
If you wanted the sky I would write across the sky in letters
That would soar a thousand feet high 'To Sir, With Love'
The time has come for closing books and long last looks must end
And as I leave I know that I am leaving my best friend
A friend who taught me right from wrong and weak from strong
That's a lot to learn, but what can I give you in return?
If you wanted the moon I would try to make a start
Diamonds Are Forever lyrics - Chaka Khan
Diamonds are forever,
They are all I need to please me,
They can stimulate and tease me,
They won't leave in the night,
I've no fear that they might desert me.
Diamonds are forever,
Hold one up and then caress it,
Touch it, stroke it and undress it,
I can see ev'ry part,
Nothing hides in the heart to hurt me.
I don't need love,
For what good will love do me?
Diamonds never lie to me,
For when love's gone,
They'll lustre on.
Diamonds are forever,
Sparkling round my little finger.
Unlike men, the diamonds linger;
Men are mere mortals who
Are not worth going to your grave for.
I don't need love,
For what good will love do me?
Diamonds never lie to me,
For when love's gone,
They'll lustre on.
Diamonds are forever, forever, forever.
Diamonds are forever, foreve
They are all I need to please me,
They can stimulate and tease me,
They won't leave in the night,
I've no fear that they might desert me.
Diamonds are forever,
Hold one up and then caress it,
Touch it, stroke it and undress it,
I can see ev'ry part,
Nothing hides in the heart to hurt me.
I don't need love,
For what good will love do me?
Diamonds never lie to me,
For when love's gone,
They'll lustre on.
Diamonds are forever,
Sparkling round my little finger.
Unlike men, the diamonds linger;
Men are mere mortals who
Are not worth going to your grave for.
I don't need love,
For what good will love do me?
Diamonds never lie to me,
For when love's gone,
They'll lustre on.
Diamonds are forever, forever, forever.
Diamonds are forever, foreve
Goldfinger lyrics - Chaka Khan
Goldfinger
He's the man, the man with the Midas touch
A spider's touch
Such a cold finger
Beckons you to enter his web of sin
But don't go in
Golden words he will pour in your ear
But his lies can't disguise what you fear
For a golden girl knows when he's kissed her
It's the kiss of death...
From Mister Goldfinger
Pretty girl, beware of his heart of gold
This heart is cold
Golden words he will pour in your ear
But his lies can't disguise what you fear
For a golden girl knows when he's kissed her
It's the kiss of death...
From Mister Goldfinger
Pretty girl, beware of his heart of gold
This heart is cold
He loves only gold
Only gold
He loves gold
He loves only gold
Only gold
He loves gold
He's the man, the man with the Midas touch
A spider's touch
Such a cold finger
Beckons you to enter his web of sin
But don't go in
Golden words he will pour in your ear
But his lies can't disguise what you fear
For a golden girl knows when he's kissed her
It's the kiss of death...
From Mister Goldfinger
Pretty girl, beware of his heart of gold
This heart is cold
Golden words he will pour in your ear
But his lies can't disguise what you fear
For a golden girl knows when he's kissed her
It's the kiss of death...
From Mister Goldfinger
Pretty girl, beware of his heart of gold
This heart is cold
He loves only gold
Only gold
He loves gold
He loves only gold
Only gold
He loves gold
I Believe lyrics - Chaka Khan
Ya know nothing is promised us
As we walk over this plain
It can be cruel and dangerous
So what have you to gain
By being so rough?
Haven't you had enough?
You've never done anything
To deserve how you treat yourself
You can't stop wondering
How you look to everyone else
Because I believe
When you look inside you don't like what you see
You need to realize that you could be
Anything
In this whole wide world
When you get tired of running from yourself
And running games
When you decide you want to grow
And be yourself again
To all your so-called friends
You're just a means to their ends
You're so misunderstood
Because you're kind they think you're weak
Try it again, I wish they would
They're gonna have to come through me
Because I believe
When you look deep inside and don't like what you see
You need to realize you could be
Anything
I believe
When you look deep inside and don't like what you see
You need to realize you could be
Anything, anything
In this whole wide wo
As we walk over this plain
It can be cruel and dangerous
So what have you to gain
By being so rough?
Haven't you had enough?
You've never done anything
To deserve how you treat yourself
You can't stop wondering
How you look to everyone else
Because I believe
When you look inside you don't like what you see
You need to realize that you could be
Anything
In this whole wide world
When you get tired of running from yourself

Come 2 My House lyrics - Chaka Khan
I've got this feelin' inside
And it won't go away
It'll take time for it to subside
And oh by the way
Come to my house
Where we can play
Like I'm your flower
We'll hide and seek
Then we will find
Love's highest power
Could you stop by for some really good beer
Or a glass of wine
There's no threat, there's no danger here
If you forego go the time
A look in your eyes
And you remind
Me of my daddy
I can't say why
I decided tonight
Yes, you can have me
Love will surrender
Oh, when the heart cries out don't leave me standin' here
Not here
Not now
And it won't go away
It'll take time for it to subside
And oh by the way
Come to my house
Where we can play
Like I'm your flower
We'll hide and seek
Then we will find
Love's highest power
Could you stop by for some really good beer
Or a glass of wine
There's no threat, there's no danger here
If you forego go the time
A look in your eyes
And you remind
Me of my daddy
I can't say why
I decided tonight
Yes, you can have me
Love will surrender
Oh, when the heart cries out don't leave me standin' here
Not here
Not now
This Crazy Life Of Mine lyrics - Chaka Khan
This is a story of mind, soul and heart
Come to think of it, don't know where to start
I'd take it from the top but we don't have that much time
So I'm breakin' off a piece of this crazy life of mine
As a little girl, I had a stubborn mind
Bonnie and me were wild most of the time
I used to sing for mama's company
I guess that was the start of the woman I came to be
Sometimes young, yet so old
Warm to the touch, intellectually cold
I love the how and why of it
Thank God the pieces seem to fit
Pieces seem to fit in this crazy life of mine
Never will forget from whence I came
I have some regrets, but I made myself a name
Two times a mother and as many times wed
Tough times were around me, but better times ahead
If your heart can handle these words I've said
I see you and me in this crazy life of mine
Mine...
Gotcha!
Come to think of it, don't know where to start
I'd take it from the top but we don't have that much time
So I'm breakin' off a piece of this crazy life of mine
As a little girl, I had a stubborn mind
Bonnie and me were wild most of the time
I used to sing for mama's company
I guess that was the start of the woman I came to be
Sometimes young, yet so old
Warm to the touch, intellectually cold
I love the how and why of it
Thank God the pieces seem to fit
Pieces seem to fit in this crazy life of mine
Never will forget from whence I came
I have some regrets, but I made myself a name
Two times a mother and as many times wed
Tough times were around me, but better times ahead
If your heart can handle these words I've said
I see you and me in this crazy life of mine
Mine...
Gotcha!

Spoon lyrics - Chaka Khan
I got me some cookin'
Not all that good lookin'
He's mighty sweet to me
That's how he's keepin' me
I ain't worried `bout the future
The here and now is lookin' cuter
I like his recipe
That's why I'm layin'
[Chorus:]
You are just like my favorite spoon
Cause you stir me up
I'm as full as a harvest moon
Still I need more in my cup
And only you can give it to me
Am I happy? (I think so)
Don't be so emotional (I can't help it, no)
Will he be there? (I think so)
It's one thing that I do know
This I know
Everybody needs to feel it
Can't beg, borrow or steal it
Love is all about lovin'
When it's hot like an oven
I ain't worried `bout the future
The here and now is lookin' cuter
Got plenty 'o time for sortin'
Cause Mama's little baby loves her shortnin' bread
[Chorus]
Not all that good lookin'
He's mighty sweet to me
That's how he's keepin' me
I ain't worried `bout the future
The here and now is lookin' cuter
I like his recipe
That's why I'm layin'
[Chorus:]
You are just like my favorite spoon
Cause you stir me up
I'm as full as a harvest moon
Still I need more in my cup
And only you can give it to me
Am I happy? (I think so)
Don't be so emotional (I can't help it, no)
Will he be there? (I think so)
It's one thing that I do know
This I know
Everybody needs to feel it
Can't beg, borrow or steal it
Love is all about lovin'
When it's hot like an oven
I ain't worried `bout the future
The here and now is lookin' cuter
Got plenty 'o time for sortin'
Cause Mama's little baby loves her shortnin' bread
[Chorus]
Pop My Clutch lyrics - Chaka Khan (feat. Queen Latifah)
There may be some youngbloods
Waitin' in the wings
I'm puttin' on my good duds
So you can hear me sing
I know what you're thinkin' but
This ain't no one night stand
I'm savin' all the good love
For only one man
[Chorus:]
Pop, pop my clutch [4x]
Don't worry `bout the weather
In London or Rome
Once we get together
You're gonna take me home
I've had plenty boyfriends
Now I need a man
To love me, whatever
And a ring on my hand
Listen pretty baby
I won't say it twice
You could save me
From my own device
Honesty is so refreshing
I don't get that much
You just might be the blessing
To make me pop my clutch
[Chorus]
I know what you're thinkin'
But this ain't no one night stand
I'm savin' the good stuff
For only one man
Listen, pretty baby
I won't say it twice
You know you could save me
I you pop it right
Waitin' in the wings
I'm puttin' on my good duds
So you can hear me sing
I know what you're thinkin' but
This ain't no one night stand
I'm savin' all the good love
For only one man
[Chorus:]
Pop, pop my clutch [4x]
Don't worry `bout the weather
In London or Rome
Once we get together
You're gonna take me home
I've had plenty boyfriends
Now I need a man
To love me, whatever
And a ring on my hand
Listen pretty baby
I won't say it twice
You could save me
From my own device
Honesty is so refreshing
I don't get that much
You just might be the blessing
To make me pop my clutch
[Chorus]
I know what you're thinkin'
But this ain't no one night stand
I'm savin' the good stuff
For only one man
Listen, pretty baby
I won't say it twice
You know you could save me
I you pop it right
