1.A Change Is Gonna Come
I was born by the river
In a little tent
And just like the river
I've been runnin' ever since
He said it's been a long time comin'
But I know my change is gonna come, oh yeah
He said it's been too hard livin'
But I'm afraid to die
I might not be if I knew what was up there
Beyond the sky
It's been a long, a long time comin'
But I know my change has got to come, oh yeah
It's been a long, a long time comin'
But I know my change has got to come, oh yeah
2.I Can't Stand The Rain
I can't stand the rain 'gainst my window
You're bringing back sweet memories
I can't stand the rain 'gainst my window
You're bringing back sweet memories
Hey, window pain do you remember
How sweet it used to be
When we were together
Everything was so grand
Now, now that we've parted
You know there's one thing that I just can't stand
I can't stand the rain 'gainst my window
Bringing back sweet memories
I can't stand the rain 'gainst my window
'Cause he's not here for me
'Lone with the pillow
Where his head used to lay
Well, I know you've got some sweet memories
But like a window you ain't got nothin' to say
I can't stand the rain
I can't stand the rain
I can't stand the rain 'gainst my window, yeah
You're bringing back sweet memories
I can't stand the rain 'gainst my window, yeah
You're bringing back sweet memories
I can't stand the rain 'gainst my window, yeah
I can't stand the rain
3.It's A Man's Man's Man's World
This is a man's world, this is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl
You see, man made the cars, to take us over the road
Man made the train, to carry the heavy load
Man made the electric light, to take us out of the dark
Man made the boat for the water, like Noah made the ark
This is a man's, man's, man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl
Man thinks about a little baby girls and a baby boys
Man makes then happy, 'cause man make them toys
And after man make everything, everything he can
You know that man makes money, to buy from other man
This is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing not one little thing
Without a woman or a girl
4.Here I Am (Come And Take Me)
I can't believe that it's real
The way that you make me feel
A burning deep down inside
A love that I cannot hide
Our love is you and me baby
That makes the world go 'round
And if you've been doin' lovin' with me
Layin' all my troubles down
Here I am, baby
Come and take me
Here I am, baby
Come and take me
Take me by the hand
Show me
Here I am, baby
It always ends up this way
Me begging you every day
A love that I cannot have
You broke my heart into half
Our love is you and me baby
That makes the world go 'round
And if you've been doin' lovin' with me
Layin' all my troubles down
Here I am, baby
Come and take me
Here I am, baby
Come and take me
Take me by the hand
Squeeze me
Here I am, baby
When I'm down
I can always call you
For a helpin' hand
I know you'll do the best you can
But it don't take much from me
Just my cup of Joe
Oh there's love inside me
I believe there's going to be an explosion
5.I've Been Loving You Too Long
I've been loving you too long
To stop now
You are tired and you want to be free
My love is growing stronger
As you become a habit to me
Ooh, I've been loving you too long
I don't wanna stop now, oh
With you my life has been so wonderful
I can't stop now
You are tired and your love is growing cold
My love is growing stronger
As our affair, affair grows old
I've been loving you oh too long
Don't want to stop now, oh, oh oh
I've been loving you a little too long
I don't wanna stop now, oh, oh
Don't make me stop now, oh baby
Please, don't make me stop now
6.It's Alright
I don't want to lose you
This good thing
That I've got 'cause if I do
I will surely, surely lose a lot
'Cause her love is better
Than any love I know
It's like thunder and lightning
The way your love is frightening
I better knock on wood, baby
I'm not superstitious about you
But I can't take no chance
You got me spinnin', baby
Baby I'm in a trance
'Cause your love is better
Than any love I know
It's like thunder and lightning
The way you love me is frightening

It's no secret that woman
Fills my loving cup
'Cause she sees to it
That I get enough
Just one touch from her
You know it means so much
It's like thunder and lightning
The way your love is frightening
I better knock on wood
Baby, I better knock
Think I better knock on wood
Think I better knock on wood
Think I better knock on wood
7.If You Don't Know Me By Now
If you dont know me by now
You will never never never know me
All the things that weve been through
You should understand me like I understand you
Now girl I know the difference between right and wrong
I aint gonna do nothing to break up our happy home
Oh dont get so excited when I come home a little late at night
Cos we only act like children when we argue fuss and fight
If you dont know me by now (if you dont know me)
You will never never never know me (no you wont)
If you dont know me by now
You will never never never know me
Weve all got our own funny moods
Ive got mine, woman youve got yours too
Just trust in me like I trust in you
As long as weve been together it should be so easy to do
Just get yourself together or we might as well say goodbye
What good is a love affair when you cant see eye to eye, oh
If you dont know me by now (if you dont know me)
You will never never never know me (no you wont)
If you dont know me by now (you will never never never know me)
You will never never never know me (ooh)
If you dont know me by now (if you dont know me)
You will never never never know me (no you wont)
If you dont know me by now (you will never never never know me)
You will never never never know me (ooh)

Whispering in his ear
My magic potion to love
Telling him, I'm sincere
And that there's nothin' too good for us
But I want to be free, free, free
And I've just got to be me yeah, me, me
Teasing hands on his mind
Give our nights such mistery
Happiness all the time
Oh and how that man pleases me
