Tuesday Night Tunes- Wooing Women Edition

A few moments of music and lyrics and my confession. If I could write and sing like this I might have been single forever.

Reach Out I’ll Be There– Four Tops

Now if you feel that you can’t go on
Because all of your hope is gone
And your life is filled with much confusion
Until happiness is just an illusion
And your world around is tumblin’ down
Darling, reach out
Reach out, for me.
I’ll be there with a love that will shelter you
I’ll be there with a love that will see you through
Now when you’re lost and about to give up
’cause your best just ain’t good enough
and you feel the world has grown cold
and you’re driftin’ out all on your own
And you need a hand to hold
darling, reach out
reach out, for me.
I’ll be there to love and comfort you
And I’ll be there, to cherish and care for you
I’ll be there to always see you through
I’ll be there to to love and comfort you

Sugar Pie Honey Bunch– Four Tops

Sugarpie honeybunch
I’m weaker than a man should be
I can’t help myself
I’m a fool in love you see
Wanna tell you I don’t love you
Tell you that we’re through
And I’ve tried
But everytime I see your face
I get up all choked up inside

When I call your name, girl
It starts the flame burning in my heart
Tearin’ it all apart
No matter how I try
My love I cannot hide

Sugarpie honeybunch
You now that I’m weak for you
I can’t help myself
I love you and nobody else

BABY I NEED YOUR LOVING– Four Tops

Baby I need your lovin’
Baby I need your lovin’

Although you’re never near
Your voice I often hear
Another day, another night
I long to hold you tight
‘Cause I’m so lonely

Baby, I need your lovin’
I got to have all your lovin’
Baby, I need your lovin’
Got to have all your lovin’

Some say it’s a sign of weakness
For a man to beg
Then weak I’d rather be
If it means havin’ you to keep
‘Cause lately I’ve been losin’ sleep

Baby, I need your lovin’
I got to have all your lovin’
Baby, I need your lovin’
Got to have all your lovin’

Empty nights
Echo your name
Sometimes I wonder
Will I ever be the same

Layla- Derek & The Dominos– Much has been said about this song, by people far wiser than I.

Kind and Generous– Natalie Merchant-
It is ten years since we lost ‘D.’ When he was dying it seemed to be playing a lot, so I just associate it with him. Ten years and this song still can make me get choked up, isn’t there a statute of limitations on that.

La la la la…
You’ve been so kind and generous
I don’t know how you keep on giving
For your kindness I’m in debt to you
For your selflessness my admiration
For everything you’ve done you know I’m bound
I’m bound to thank you for it
La la la la…
You’ve been so kind and generous
I don’t know how you keep on giving
For your kindness I’m in debt to you
And I never could have come this far without you
For everything you’ve done, you know I’m bound
I’m bound to thank you for it
La-la-la-la…
Oh, I want to thank you for so many gifts you gave
The love, the tenderness, I wanna thank you
I want to thank you for your generosity, the love
And the honesty that you gave me
I want to thank you show my gratitude
My love, and my respect for you, I want to thank you
Oh, I want to thank you, thank you; thank you, thank you
I want to thank you, thank you; thank you, thank you
