It's Got To Be Mellow
Got to be mellow,
'Cause my baby loves me,
and I'm her only fellow

Crazy about my baby,
Crazy about my baby,
And it's plain to see
She's crazy about me,
Crazy about me, yeah

She's got class and she's got style,
A personality that drives me wild,
She's not a put-on and she's not make believe,
She don't mind sharing love so that she may receive

She's mellow
It's Got To Be Mellow
Yes my baby's mellow
It's Got To Be Mellow
She's my baby and I love her
And I'm her only fellow
And I place no one above her

It's got to be mellow (It's Got To Be Mellow)
Got to be mellow, (It's Got To Be Mellow)
'Cause my baby loves me (She's my baby and I love her)
And I'm her only fellow (and I place no one above her)
crazy about my baby, crazy about my baby,
and it's plain to see, she's crazy about me,
crazy bout me, yeah
She's alright, Love is uptight

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

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

Bobby Hebb - Love, Love, Love

* Philips, 40400 - "A Satisfied Mind" / "Love Love Love" (1966)

Love is a smile you give me that makes my day seem brighter
Love is your arms around me makes my troubles lighter
When I hold your hands so tightly, I'm feelin' that I'm stronger
I feel so much about you, I jus't can't wait no longer

Of the wonderful touch of your lips, the wonderful world of desire
Love is a sweet tender night & your kisses setting my soul on fire
Love is a dream come true, Love is a girl like you

Love's no limits baby, It's sweet and yet that's heartache
Love is a sound of laugthers of boys & girls make
Sweet love is all around you so love's its own refrain
In love there's so much pleasure and yet there's so much pain

Love is a girl like you babe so warm and all so tender
Love is a power baby that's making me surrender
When I look into your soft eyes, I melt like candy jam
I do anything to please you, yes anything I can

My Baby, My Baby
You've gone away and left me,
You've gone away & left me alone for somebody else
And now I'm feeling sad

Now that you've gone to somebody else
Makes me feel so bad

I Feel So Bad

I love you baby for the very start
You've lied you wouldn't break my heart
Now you left me all alone to cry
'Cause I still gonna love you til' the day I died

You've gone away & left me alone for somebody else
Makes me feel so sad

I Feel So Bad
I Feel So Sad

Tommy Hunt - I'll Make You Happy

Capitol 5621, "I'll Make You Happy" / "The Clown" (1966)

Everything I wanna do, oh baby
I wanna do with you, oh baby

I'm so sorry
I made tears running down your cheeks
I didn't mean to make you cry
I didn't want to hurt you
If you take me back again
I'll do everything that I can to make you happy

I'm gonna make you happy

Everything I wanna do, oh baby
I wanna do with you, oh baby

Oh my little baby
I didn't realize when you're mine
How much I love you and what you really meant to me
How far must from that very soul
That is you I wanna hold
I'll Make You Happy

I Know I'll Make You Happy This Time Baby
(I'm really gonna try...)

Tams - Hey Girl Don't Bother Me

Hey Girl Don't Bother Me
Stay away girl, go away come back another day
Hey Girl Don't Bother Me

I heard about you from my friends
What really gets so long
They say you broke the heart
Of every boy in town

They say you like to cheat
They say you're just a little flirt
And if I fall for you
I'm surely gonna get hurt OK

Hey Girl Don't Bother Me
Stay out of my arms
Don't try to use your charms

But I really got to say
You look so fine
And you're also hard to resist
But I know i gotta stay away
'Cause I might fall for you
And I don't want to be added to your list OK

Hey Girl Don't Bother Me
Afraid if I kissed you, I might not resist you

http://www.box.net/shared/x7bogazo2b

Released in 1964, was a regional hit in the U.S before it topped the UK charts in 1971 thanks to the northern soul scene. Maybe the only one number one single connected to the northern. One of the Tams forgot his dance steps during Top Of The Pops. You can find some reggae covers of "Hey Girl Don't Bother Me" on youtube.

Michael and Raymond - Man Without A Woman

* RCA 47-9244, "Man Without A Woman" / "Walking The Dog" (1967)

A man has many things that he was due
Though he's got to find the time for lovin' too
Man wasn't made to leave all alone
He was made to have some children and a home

Man Without A Woman is like a flower without rain
Man Without A Woman relief is like in vain

So withdraw without love, you'd better look around
'Cause there are many girls who wish they could be find

A man has many things that he was due
Though he's got to find the time for lovin' too
Man wasn't made to leave all alone
He was made to have some children and a home

Clydie King - Soft And Gentle Ways

* Imperial 66172, "He Always Comes Back To Me" / "Soft And Gentle Ways" (1966)

Don't use your gentle ways to make me do the things I know I shouldn't do
Don't use your gentle ways to make me think the lies you're telling me are true
When you whisper gently to me you know how the suffer makes me feel
But I've heard about that before and baby I know your love just unreal

Don't use your burning kiss to start a fire in me I know I can't control
Don't use your misty eyes cause I won't fall again I've seen those tears before
But if you can prove me at all the love you have to offer me is true
I would gladly give in to the love and soft and gentle ways of you

Don't think your gentle ways can just erase the feelin' I have of loving you
Those soft spoken words are empty sounds there's nothing you can do
But if you can prove me at all the love you have to offer me is true
I would gladly give in to the love and soft and gentle ways of you

Don't use your gentle ways, Don't use your gentle ways...

Just hung up the telephone
I've heard a lot about you
Your new boyfriend couldn't wait to tell me huh
That you and I are through
Don't try to spin my feelings...

I give my best to you
What I am supposed to do
Don't stand here and look silly...

If what he said is true
I own (allow) all the best for you
Couldn't look just to see me cry so...

Velvet Hammer - Happy

Soozi 112 "Happy" / "Party Hardy" (1977)

I call her Happy
She makes me feel that way when I come home at night
She puts her arms around me, she kisses and hugs me makes everything allright

And everynight in my room
I can smell her sweet perfume
And it's happy, Happy All My Life

I call her Joy
'cause she travels through the world of a lonely boy
Joy everynight 'cause she knows how to squeeze me and make me feel right

And everynight in my room
I can smell her sweet perfume
And it's joy, Joy all my life

I call her Pleasure
'cause the loving she's giving you, just can't measure
I call her sweetness 'cause when I look at her eyes I can see my weakness

And everynight in my room
I can smell her sweet perfume
It's pleasure, pleasure all my life

She really makes me happy
in the evening
with the pleasure
that you give me
make me happy
Happy in my life
Joy in the world
Sweet of the Sweet
She's the pearl of the girl

* Trans-American, 0010-B (1968)

You say that you leave me underneath baby don't need me
But baby you didn't have to do what you've done behind my back
With someone on you who holdin' a kissin'
Just the way we used to love
You say you realized the stretch you made
I keep trying to hear you baby

You're Just Blowin' My Mind To Pieces
(you just ruinin' my mind so more)
You Keep Blowin' My Mind To Pieces
(you got me hurt like never before)

Hey, you gotta stop baby, hanging up now

Girl, I'm gonna have to put you down
'Cause I'm so tired of being messed around
I've told you a long long time ago
You keep blowin' my mind
I'm gonna have to let you go
I give you everything that I have
You just woudn't let me be your man

Blowing My Mind To Pieces
(I've said I've gotta to get me out this place)
Blowing My Mind To Pieces

Frankie Valli - You're Ready Now

Smash, 2037 - "You're Ready Now" / "Cry For Me" (1966)

When I met you, you were too young
To hang around where the groupies hung
To swing and dance where the swingers swung

You're Ready Now, You're Ready Now, You're Ready Now...

You grew up fast like over-night
You sure have changed, girl, you're out of sight
You wanna swing and dance all night

You pick up quick, I knew you would
You move and groove just the way you should
You've got that feel, you're learnin' good

Come on near me, come on baby
Do you hear me ? Yes I hear you

You've got it girl, you've got that talk
You've got that wiggle in the way you walk
You've got, I see, what gets to me

You're Ready Now, You're Ready Now, You're Ready Now...

Velvet Satins - Nothing Can Compare To You

* General American, 006 "Nothing Can Compare To You" / "Up To The Rooftop" (1965)

I can't compare you to the stars,
There's no flowers as pretty as you are,
Way you smile, way you walk, way you laugh & way you talk

Nothing Can Compare To You

Can't compare you to the jewels
If somebody try, it'll be a fool
How you shine your own way, turn my darkness (...) today

Nothing Can Compare To You...

Dana Valery - You Don't Know Where Your Interest Lies

* Columbia, 44004 (1967)

You can hear Paul Simon singing the small part "You don't begin to comprehend".

You don't know that you love me
You don't know but I know that you do
You may think you're above me
What you think isn't always true

Don't try to debate me
You should know that I'm womanly wise
Still you try to manipulate me
You don't know where your interest lies

You don't know where your interest lies
You don't begin to comprehend

You're just a game I like to play
You may think that we're friends all right
But I won't let friendship get in my way
I won't let friendship get in my way

You Don't Know Where Your Interest Lies

Bobby Kline - Say Something Nice To Me

* MB Records, 1001

Say something nice to me, don't just say goodbye
If this just has to be, at least won't you tell me why
Before I've break down in front of you & cry like I wanna do

Say something nice to me baby, girl say smething nice to me now
Baby, My Love, I don't want to say goodbye, talk to me

You just can't walk away from all those things we've planned
One minute more, just stay and try to understand
'Cause I don't know baby when I'll see you again to (...) until then

You know I love you girl as long as I've sheltered this
What have I done so bad that you just can't forgive ?
Talk to me baby with your special tone and while you're in my arms...

Say Something Nice To Me !

The Gaylettes - Heartaches I Can't Take It (Black Jack)

I've been dissolution it's so much confusion
I was satisfied until I was deny
'Cause with my baby, he can't to let me go

Heartaches I Can't Take It

But heartaches I can't take

But losing you wouldn't be the same

At your mercy, I need some sympathy
And baby I'm hopin that you're just jokin'
'Cause if you ever tried to put me down
And this, right in the ground

Heartaches I Can't Take It

Tobi Legend - Time Will Pass You By

Tobi Legend - Time Will Pass You By

Passing seasons over fade away
Into misty clouds of autumn grey
As I sit here looking at the street
Little figures quickly moving feet

I'm just a pebble on the beach and I
Sit and wonder why
Little people running around
Never knowing why

Life is just a precious minute baby
Open up your eyes and see it baby
Give yourself a better chance
Because time will pass you right on by

This big old world is spinning like a top
Come and help me pal and make it stop
All you have to do is live for now
Come along with me and I'll show you how

Take my hand I'll show you how to live
Why wait until tomorrow?
Take my hand I'll lead the way
To a brighter day
