Lou Rawls - You Can Bring Me All Your Heartaches



* Capitol, 5790 - "You Can Bring Me All Your Heartaches" / "A Woman Who's A Woman" (1966)




When the world becomes too much for you
When the road ahead is hard to see
When you feel you don't know what to do
Baby you could turn to me

You Can Bring Me All Your Heartaches
Cry On My Shoulders Anyday
You Can Bring Me All Your Heartaches
I'll Kiss Your Worries Away

When it seems the day would never end
When things are wrong as they can be
When you wonder if you've got a friend
Baby just remember me

You Can Bring Me All Your Heartaches
Cry On My Shoulders Anyday
You Can Bring Me All Your Heartaches
I'll Kiss Your Worries Away

I will prove to you how much I care
You'll never have to stand alone
In your hour of need, you'll find me there
You can make my arms your home

You Can Bring Me All Your Heartaches
You Can Bring Me Every One Of Your Heartaches

Poppies - There's A Pain In My Heart




Epic 5-10086, "There's A Pain In My Heart" / "My Love And I" (1966)




There's a pain in my heart everytime I stop thinkin'
Of the love that we had I'm so sad my heart's breaking
I keep holdin' on to these memories & hopin' you will hear my plea...

Don't you think that we should try again, try to love again
Don't you think that we sould try again, try to love again
Play on symphony, play on rhapsody
We had a love that is so true
That's why my love that I need you

Such a heart deep inside, leave your pride come on back
You know your love haunted me, can't you see how I need you so
I keep holdin' on to these memories and hopin' you will hear my plea

Don't you think that we should try again, try to love again
Don't you think that we sould try again, try to love again
Play on symphony, play on rhapsody
We had a love that is so true
That's why my love that I need you

Vel Tones - I Do



* Goldwax Records, 301 -
"Darling" / "I Do" (1966)


Who needs two arms to hold them tight ? I do
Who needs sweet kisses every night darlin ? I do
What kind of fool would lose his head every time he is fond of you

Who wants to fall in love ?
I do

Who want to see the same old face every day ? I do
Who want to hear those foolish things you say, darling ? I do
Who wants to change his carefree ways and spend the rest of his life with you ?

Now who wants to fall in love ?
I do

Someone want to fall in love with you
Someone want to give all his love to you, guess who ?

Who needs a tender hand to hold ? I do
Who needs someone when nights too cold, darling ? I do
Who want to tie himself (...) and spend the rest of his life with you

Now who wants to say I do ? I do
Pretty little angel
Who wants to say I do ? I do

Lovelites - How Can I Tell My Mom And Dad



* Lock, 723 - "How Can I Tell My Mom & Dad" / "Hey! Stars
Of Tomorrow" (Instrumental) (1969)



Not to be confused with the girl groups from
Phi-Dan, these Lovelites were from Chicago. Teen pregnancy and running away from your parents in a soul single...




How can I tell my mom and dad
That I've been bad
How can I tell my mom and dad
That I've been bad

Will they understand
How much I love that man
And oh, will they ever know
How much he's hurt me so

I know I was a fool
To be loved by you
But I've got to find a way
But what can I say

(Somebody please) How can I tell my mom and dad
(Help me explain, help me explain) That I've been bad
(This misery) How can I tell my mom and dad
(Oh, please) That I've been bad

He told me that he loved me
And that our love was true
Oh, but when we made me mother-to-be
He disappeared on me

Now I'm so ashamed
'Cause you quit the game
And left me here to be
In all this misery


Should I go up to mama
And say, "Guess what I've done" No-no
Or disappear in the night
And let them notice I'm gone {No-no}

Or should I go out and do
Somethin' I wouldn't want to {No-no}
Or stand up like a big girl
And tell 'em about me and you

(Daddy will be so terrified) How can I tell my mom and dad
(Yes, he will) That I've been bad
(Mom's so upset that she'll wanna die) How can I tell my mom and dad
(Help me) That I've been bad

(How can I tell them I'm a mother-to-be)
How-how-how-how I've been bad
(Help me explain to them he does love me)
How-how-how-how I've been bad
