The Isley Brothers Lyrics

Fight The Power

Time is truly wastin'
There's no guarantee
Smile's in the makin'
You gotta fight the powers that be
Got so many forces
Stayin' on the scene
Givin' up all around me
Faces full a' pain
I can't play my music
They say my music's too loud
I kept talkin about it
I got the big run around
When I rolled with the punches
I got knocked on the ground
With all this bullshit going down

Time is truly wastin'
There's no guarantee
Smile's in the makin'
You gotta fight the powers that be
I don't understand it
People wanna see, ya
Those that got the answers
Red tape in the way
I could take you in easy
That's just half the fun, oh boy
Seeking satisfaction
Keeps me on the run
I can't play my music
They say my music's too loud
I kept talkin about it
I got the big run around
When I rolled with the punches
I got knocked on the ground
With all this bullshit going down
Time is truly wastin'
There's no guarantee
Smile's in the makin'
You gotta fight the powers that be

If you and I can - we got the power
Fight it, got the power fight it...... baby, baby
Fight it, fight the power
Fight it, fight the power
Fight it, fight the power...

(At Your Best) You Are Love

Love, let me know, let me know
Love, let me know, let me know, let me know

When I feel what I feel
Sometimes it's hard for me to tell you so
You may not be in the mood
To learn what you think you know

There are times when I find
You wanna keep yourself from me
When I don't have the strength
I'm just a mirror of what I see

But at your best you are love
You're a positive, motivating force within my life
Should you ever feel the need to wonder why
Let me know, let me know
Love
Let me know, let me know

When you feel what you feel
Oh, how hard for me to understand
So many things have taken place
Before this love affair began

But if you feel, oh, like I feel
Confusion can give way to doubt
For there are times when I fall short of what I say
What I say I'm all about, all about

But at your best you are love
You're a positive, motivating force within my life
Should you ever feel the need to wonder why
Let me know, let me know

No, no, no, no

Tell me what it is (Tell me what it is)
There's no need to make believe
(Make believe, no need to make believe)
Look beyond your world (Look beyond your world)
Try to find a place for me
(Try to find, find a place for me)

'Cause at your best you are love
You're a positive motivating force within my life
Should you ever feel the need to wonder why
Let me know, let me know
Let me know, let me know, let me know, oh...
Love
Oh, baby
Stay at your best, baby, yeah
Please do it for God's sakes

At least as far as I can see

Whoa...ho...ho...ho...hoo...ooh...baby, baby
Makin' love between the sheets

And you know I'll make you feel alright
Oh, baby girl, just cling to me and let your mind be free
While makin' love between the sheets

And I know you felt it comin' on

This Old Heart Of Mine (Is Weak For You)

Ooh, this old heart of mine been broke a thousand times
Each time you break away I think you're gone to stay
Lonely nights that come, memories that flow
Bringing you back again, hurting me more and more

Maybe it's my mistake to show this love I feel inside
'Cause each day that passes by,
You've got me never knowin' if I'm comin' or goin' but I

I love you-ou-ou, yes I do
This old heart (ooh) darlin' is weak for you
I love you-ou-ou, yes I do

These old arms of mine miss having you around
Make these tears inside start falling down
Always with half a kiss, you remind me of what I miss
Though I try to control myself
Like a fool I start grinnin' 'cause my head starts spinnin' 'cause I

I love you-ou-ou, yes I do
This old heart (ooh) darlin' is weak for you
I love you-ou-ou, yes I do

I try hard to hide my hurt inside
This old heart of mine always keeps me cryin'
The way you're treatin' me leaves me incomplete
You're here for the day, gone for the week

But if you leave me a hundred times
A hundred times I'll take you back
I'm yours whenever you want me
I'm not too proud to shout it, tell the world about it 'cause I

I love you-ou-ou
This old heart (this old heart) is weak for you
I love you-ou-ou
This old heart (this old heart) is weak for you
I love you-ou-ou
This old heart (this old heart) is weak for you

Contagious featuring R. Kelly and Chante Moore

Here's a story
About a man comin' in
Findin' his woman in bed with
Well, listen...

It's 2 a.m., just gettin' in, about to check my message
No one has called but my homies and some bill collectors
Cellular rings, somebody wants to borrow money
I two-way her, she don't hit me back, something is funny
So I called her mother's house and asked her, had she seen my baby (Whoa, ah)
Drove my 6 around lookin' for that missin' lady
Got back in, turned the TV on and caught the news
Then I put my hand on my head 'cause I'm so confused

And then I turned the TV down (TV down)
'Cause I thought I heard a squeaky sound (Whoa...whoa...whoa...)
Mmm, something's goin' on upstairs, yeah
'Cause I know nobody else lives here, yeah
Bom-bom-bom
As I get closer to the stairways, all I hear
And then I hear my baby's voice in my ear
Screamin' out

"You're contagious, touch me, baby
"Give me what you got" (Then a man said)
"Sexy lady (Ooh), drive me crazy
"Drive me wild" (All I heard was my baby's voice screamin')
"You're contagious, touch me, baby (Touch me)
"Give me what you got" (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
"Sexy lady, drive me crazy (Then I heard another man, yeah)
"Drive me wild" (And I just can't believe this shit)

I ran downstairs, looked in the closet, lookin' for that - oooh
Said a prayer 'cause only God knows what I'm gonna do
What I saw was enough to drive a preacher wild
I'm in the hall contemplatin' not in my own damn house
Who would of thought she was creepin' with another man (whoa, ah)
The down low happening to me all over again

And then I turned the TV down (TV down, yeah)
'Cause I know I heard a squeaky sound
Something goin' on up there upstairs
'Cause I know ain't no one else lives here
Bom-bom-bom
As I get closer to the stairways all I fear
And then I hear my baby's voice in my ear
Screamin'

"You're contagious (whoa), touch me, baby (Oh)
"Give me what you got" (then a man says)
"Sexy lady (oh, ah), drive me crazy (oh, ah)
"Drive me wild" (all I can do is hear them say)
"You're contagious, touch me, baby (ooh)
"Give me what you got" (whoa...whoa...whoa...)
"Sexy lady, drive me crazy
"Drive me wild" (Oh, I can't believe this shit)

Bom-bom-bom

What the hell is goin' on between the sheets in my home

[Baby, wait, let me explain, before you start to point your cane]

Girl, I'm 'bout to have a fit

{Oh, it's about to be some shit}
{How did I get into this}
{Shoulda never came home with this bitch}

You low down dirty woman
Back to where you come from!

[But baby, wait!]

But wait, my ass
Hit the streets, your ass is grass

{Now Mr. Biggs, before you're done}

Wait, how you know my name, son?

(Honey wait, I was gonna tell you)

Move, this cat looks real familiar
Hmm, now don't I know you from somewhere a long time ago?

{No-no, I don't think so}

Yeah, yeah, I feel I know you brother, very well

{No-no, you're mistakin' me for somebody else}

(Frank...) Shut up!
Can't you see two men are talkin'?
(But...) Thought I told your ass to get to walkin?
Now I think ya'll better leave this place
'Cause I'm about to catch a case

"You're contagious, touch me, baby
"Give me what you got" (whoa, that's what she said)
"Sexy lady (ooh), drive me crazy (whoa)
"Drive me wild" (and then he replied)
"You're contagious, touch me, baby (touch me)
"Give me what you got" (give me what you got)
"Sexy lady (whoa), drive me crazy (oh, whoa)
"Drive me wild" (ah, yeah, oh)

"You're contagious, touch me, baby (I should have known from the shoppin' sprees)
"Give me what you got" (That's the only time you smile at me)
"Sexy lady (And makin' love girl), drive me crazy (will never be the same)
"Drive me wild" (I can tell how you said my name)

Footsteps In The Dark (Parts 1 & 2)

Are we really sure,
That a love that lasted for so long,
Still endures?
Do I, really care?
Hey hey,
Let's talk about the distractions going on elsewhere

I, keep hearing footsteps baby
in the dark, oh in the dark
Why? I keep hearing footsteps baby
In the dark
Oh in the dark, hoo

Looking down dark corridors and wonders what might have been
Something's up ahead,
Hey, should I keep this same direction,
Or go back instead?

I, keep hearing footsteps baby
in the dark, oh in the dark
Why? I keep hearing footsteps baby
In the dark
Oh in the dark, hoo

Honey lets stop walking around
When there's love lost to be found
Aah, you Know I still care, I still care
What's the sense in going elsewhere?

Who feels, really sure?
Can I really guarantee your happiness shall endure?
Do we, really care?

Sexy lady (who's that lady)
Beautiful lady (who's that lady)

Hello, It's Me

Hello, it's me
I've thought about us for a long, long time
Maybe I think too much but something's wrong
Something's here that doesn't last too long
Maybe I shouldn't think of you as mine
Seeing you,seeing anyone as much as I do you
I take for granted that you're always there
I take for granted that you just don't care
Sometimes I can't help seeing all the way through, baby

It's important to me
that you know you are free
Cause I never want to make you change for me, babe (don't change, don't change)
No, I wouldn't change you, change you for the world (don't change, don't change)
No, don't change, girl (don't change, don't change)
Stay as sweet as you are (don't change, don't change)
But one thing I want you to do is

Think of me, think of me, yeah
You know I'd be with you if I could
Come around and see you once in a while
If you ever need a reason to smile
I'd spend the night if you think I should

It's important to me
that you know you are free
Cause I never want to make you change for me

And I'll come around and see you once in a while
If you ever need a reason to smile
I'd spend the night if you think I should

Just don't change, girl (don't change, don't change)

Harvest For The World

Gather everyman, gather everywoman
Celebrate your lives, give thanks for your children
When will there be a harvest for all the people
When will there be a harvest for all the world
Harvest For The World

All babies together, everyone a seed
Half of us are satisfied, half of us in need
Love's bountiful in us, tarnished by our greed
When will there be a harvest for the world

A nation planted, so concerned with gain
As the seasons come and go, greater grows the pain
And far too many feelin' the strain
When will there be a harvest for the world

Gather everyman, gather everywoman
Celebrate your lives, give thanks for your children
Gather everyone, gather all together
Overlooking none, hopin' life gets better for the world

Dress me up for battle, when all I want is peace
Those of us who pay the price, come home with the least
Nation after nation, turning into beast
When will there be a harvest for the world

Tears

Thank you baby
For the years you've given me
For each beat of my heart
For every breath I breathe
Thank you sweetie
For the best times of my life
Through the good, through the bad
You were always by my side

I never thought I'd meet someone
Who loves unselfishly
But I appreciate the way you loved
And sacrificed for me

I can't hold back these tears
Let me cry
(Althrough a man's not supposed to cry baby)
If I hold back my tears
I'll just die
(You've given so much to my life)

Thank you lady
For the joy you bring to life
When all was lost and gone
You brought hope back in sight
Thank you honey
For being my bestfriend
When I thought noone understood
You would always understand

I used to think that I knew love
And what true love should mean
Now I know that I didn't know much
Cause you taught me everything

I can't hold back these tears
Let me cry
(Althrough a man's not supposed to cry baby)
If I hold back my tears
I'll just die
(You've given so much to my life)

Woah, God so loved the World
That he blessed us all with you
Then he gave me a heart
And now I'm giving it to you
And these tears I cry are tears of joy
My happiness, I do rejoice
In the love you give unselfishly
Your constant sacrifice for me

I can't hold back these tears
Let me cry
(Althrough a man's not supposed to cry baby)
If I hold back my tears
I'll just die
(You've given so much to my life)
I can't hold back these tears
Let me cry (girl just let me, let me, let me...)
(Althrough a man's not supposed to cry baby)
If I hold back my tears (oh I can't hold it back my baby)
I'll just die
(Oh you've given so much, so much, so much to my life baby)
I can't hold back these tears
Let me cry (oh let me cry baby)
If I hold back my tears (hold it back, hold it back, no no no no)
I'll just die
(oh don't let me, don't let me)
I can't hold back these tears

Yeah........ I'll just die... oooh oooh oh

Summer Breeze

See the curtains hanging in the window
In the evening on a Friday night
A little light a-shining through the window
Lets me know everythings alright

Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind

See the paper lying on the sidewalk
A little music from the house next door
So I walk on up to the door step
Through the screen and across the floor

Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind

Sweet days of summer, the jasmine's in bloom
July is dressed up and playing her tune
When I come home from a hard days work
And you're waiting there, not a care in the world

See the smile a-waiting in the kitchen
Food cooking and the plates for two
Feel the arms that reach out to hold me
In the evening when the day is through

Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind
