Know it sounds funny, but I just can't stand the pain
Girl, I'm leaving you tomorrow
Seems to me, girl, you know I've done all I can

I'm easy like Sunday morning

3) Endless Love (with Diana Ross)
My love, there's only you in my life
The only thing that's bright
My first love, you're every breath that I take
You're every step I make
And I, I want to share all my love with you
No one else will do
And your eyes, your eyes, your eyes, they tell me how much you care
Ooh, yes, you will always be my endless love
Two hearts, two hearts that beat as one
Our lives have just begun
Forever, I'll hold you close in my arms
I can't resist your charms
And love, oh love, I'll be a fool for you
I'm sure, you know I don't mind
'Cause you, you mean the world to me
Oh, I know, I know, I've found in you
My endless love
Ooh, and love, oh, love, I'll be that fool for you
I'm sure, you know I don't mind
And yes, you'll be the only one
'Cause no one can deny
This love I have inside
And I'll give it all to you
My love, my love, my love
My endless love
The only thing that's bright
My first love, you're every breath that I take
You're every step I make
And I, I want to share all my love with you
No one else will do
And your eyes, your eyes, your eyes, they tell me how much you care
Ooh, yes, you will always be my endless love
Two hearts, two hearts that beat as one
Our lives have just begun
Forever, I'll hold you close in my arms
I can't resist your charms
And love, oh love, I'll be a fool for you
I'm sure, you know I don't mind

4) Hello Version by Lionel Richie
I've been alone with you inside my mind
And in my dreams, I've kissed your lips a thousand times
I sometimes see you pass outside my door
Hello, is it me you're looking for?
I can see it in your eyes
I can see it in your smile
You're all I've ever wanted and my arms are open wide
'Cause you know just what to say
And you know just what to do
And I want to tell you so much, I love you
I long to see the sunlight in your hair
And tell you time and time again how much I care
Sometimes I feel my heart will overflow
Hello, I've just got to let you know
'Cause I wonder where you are
And I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely or is someone loving you?
Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven't got a clue
But let me start by saying, I love you
Hello, is it me you're looking for?
'Cause I wonder where you are
And I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely or is someone loving you?
Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven't got a clue
But let me start by saying, I love you
Hello, is it me you're looking for?
Hello, is it me you're looking for?
Hello, is it me you're looking for?
And in my dreams, I've kissed your lips a thousand times
I sometimes see you pass outside my door
Hello, is it me you're looking for?
I can see it in your eyes
I can see it in your smile
You're all I've ever wanted and my arms are open wide
'Cause you know just what to say
And you know just what to do
And I want to tell you so much, I love you
I long to see the sunlight in your hair
And tell you time and time again how much I care
Sometimes I feel my heart will overflow
Hello, I've just got to let you know
'Cause I wonder where you are
And I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely or is someone loving you?
Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven't got a clue
But let me start by saying, I love you
Hello, is it me you're looking for?
'Cause I wonder where you are
And I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely or is someone loving you?
Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven't got a clue
But let me start by saying, I love you
Hello, is it me you're looking for?
Hello, is it me you're looking for?
Hello, is it me you're looking for?
5) Penny Lover
The first time I saw you
Oh, you looked so fine
And I had a feeling
One day you'd be mine
Honey, you came along and captured my heart
Now my love is somewhere lost in your kiss
When I'm all alone, it's you that I miss
Girl, a love like yours is hard to resist
Oh, oh, penny lover
My love's on fire
Penny lover, you're my one desire
Tell me baby could this be true
That I could need someone like I need you
Night after night, I tried to make it all fit together
Night after night, I'm still lost in your love
Don't know which way to go
Oh, oh, penny lover
Don't walk on by
Penny lover, don't you make me cry
Can't you see girl, I need you so?
Don't walk away from me, baby, no
I got my penny, I got my chance
I need you, baby, to romance
I'll keep you warm, baby
I'll take you in
I'll give you love until the very end, oh
Penny lover, don't you walk on by
Penny lover, don't you make me cry
Penny lover, don't you walk away
Penny lover, don't you make me cry
Penny lover, don't you walk on by
Penny lover, don't you make me cry
Oh, you looked so fine
And I had a feeling
One day you'd be mine
Honey, you came along and captured my heart
Now my love is somewhere lost in your kiss
When I'm all alone, it's you that I miss

6) Say You, Say Me
Say you, say me
Say it for always, that's the way it should be
Say you, say me
Say it together, naturally
I had a dream I had an awesome dream
People in the park playing games in the dark
And what they played was a masquerade
From behind the walls of doubt a voice was crying out
Say you, say me
Say it for always, that's the way it should be
Say you, say me
Say it together, naturally
As we go down life's lonesome highway
Seems the hardest thing to do is to find a friend or two
That helping hand, someone who understands
That when you feel you've lost your way
You've got someone there to say, "I'll show you"
Say you, say me
Say it for always, that's the way it should be
Say you, say me
Say it together, naturally
So you think you know the answers
Oh no
Well, the whole world's got you dancing
That's right, I'm telling you
It's time to start believing, oh yes
Believing who you are: you are a shining star
Say you, say me
Say it for always, that's the way it should be
Say you, say me
Say it together, naturally
Say it together, naturally
Say it for always, that's the way it should be
Say you, say me
Say it together, naturally
I had a dream I had an awesome dream
People in the park playing games in the dark
And what they played was a masquerade
From behind the walls of doubt a voice was crying out
Say you, say me
Say it for always, that's the way it should be
Say you, say me
Say it together, naturally
As we go down life's lonesome highway
Seems the hardest thing to do is to find a friend or two
That helping hand, someone who understands
That when you feel you've lost your way
You've got someone there to say, "I'll show you"
Say you, say me
Say it for always, that's the way it should be
Say you, say me
Say it together, naturally
So you think you know the answers
Oh no
Well, the whole world's got you dancing
That's right, I'm telling you
It's time to start believing, oh yes
Believing who you are: you are a shining star
Say you, say me
Say it for always, that's the way it should be
Say you, say me
Say it together, naturally
Say it together, naturally
7) Stuck on You

8) Three Times a Lady
Thanks for the times that you've given me
The memories are all in my mind
And now that we've come to the end of our rainbow
There's something I must say out loud
You're once, twice, three times a lady
And I love you
Yes, you're once, twice, three times a lady
And I love you
When we are together, the moments I cherish
With every beat of my heart
To touch you, to hold you, to feel you, to need you
There's nothing to keep us apart
You're once, twice, three times a lady
And I love you
Yes, you're once, twice, three times a lady
And I love you
I love you
The memories are all in my mind
And now that we've come to the end of our rainbow
There's something I must say out loud
You're once, twice, three times a lady
And I love you
Yes, you're once, twice, three times a lady
And I love you
When we are together, the moments I cherish
With every beat of my heart
To touch you, to hold you, to feel you, to need you
There's nothing to keep us apart
You're once, twice, three times a lady
And I love you
Yes, you're once, twice, three times a lady
And I love you
I love you
