3.La Costa
Written：n. cole and l. williams
Picture yourself on the sea of a setting sun
The salty air and the taste of your lover's hair
Inside you want to fly
Ah, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi
Come to the magical mist where the oceans kissed
A thousand kisses or more on the sandy shore
And never says goodbye
Ah, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi
Ooh, la costa, ooh
Ooh, la costa, ooh
Come feel the warm of the breeze as the swaying trees
Caress the velvety skies like a whisper telling you to come and
fly
Ah, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi
Musical interlude
Run with the wind at your side let it set you free
I'll watch the sun in your eyes as the seagulls fly
Along this lover's isle
Ah, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi
You are my love and my life, you're my everything
You calm the sea of my soul oh so tenderly
It makes me very high
Ah, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi
Ooh la costa, wee, ooh, wee
Ooh la costa, ooh
Picture yourself on the sea...
Come feel the warm of the breeze..
La costa......

6.Just Can't Stay Away
Written：chuck jackson and marvin yancy
Here i am baby, right back in your arms, yeah
What is it 'bout your love that draws me to you
And though this is not the first time i've ever wanted to get
away, no
Oh, but the magic of your love just would not let me stray
So i find that i just can't stay away from you, baby, (from you)
ooh, yeah
You see, i just can't stay away from you
Let me tell you i've been through a lot of changes
You see, my momma scorned me and my closest friends
Oh lord, you know they warned me
They said you're no good for me, but i just ignored it
Yes i did, 'cause i didn't have time, no time to sit around and
decide what to do
You know, when someone controls your mind
There's not much you can do
So you see that's why i (just can't) just can't stay away (stay
away)
Oh, oh (from you) from you, oh baby
Hold me darling, hold (just can't) me darling, i can't stay away
from (stay away) you
I don't wanna (from you) from you
I've tried and i've tried, and i've tried, i've tried and i've
tried, and i've tried, baby
(when you come close to me, yeah)
I remember, i can remember somebody said it
They said it many, many, many (when you come close to me, yeah)
years ago
That when love gets in your blood, you'll find it's hard to let
go
And oh, i (just can't) baby, i (stay away)
Can't (from you) you see it in my eyes
'cause i'm wanting you, needing you, ho
Baby, i (just can't) i don't wanna (stay away)
Stay away (from you) from you
From you, you, you, you, you
It's not in my power to leave you
You control the soul in me and i
(just can't) that's exactly why i (stay away)
Can't stay away (from you) from you
Oh 'cause i'm wanting you, needing you, loving you
Baby, i'm down on my knees, (i just can't) hold me darling
I'm (stay away) begging you please, hold me, darling
(from you) 'cause i just can't stay from you, baby, no, no...
