    letra de My Baby Just Cares For Me

    My baby don't care for shows

    My baby don't care for clothes

    My baby just cares for me

    My baby don't care for cars and races

    My baby don't care for high-tone places



    Liz Taylor is not his style

    And even Lana Turner's smile

    Is somethin' he can't see

    My baby don't care who knows

    My baby just cares for me



    Baby, my baby don't care for shows

    And he don't even care for clothes

    He cares for me

    My baby don't care

    For cars and races

    My baby don't care for

    He don't care for high-tone places



    Liz Taylor is not his style

    And even Liberace's smile

    Is something he can't see

    Is something he can't see

    I wonder what's wrong with baby

    My baby just cares for

    My baby just cares for

    My baby just cares for me



    [Original lyrics]



    My baby don't care for shows

    My baby don't care for clothes

    My baby just cares for me

    My baby don't care for cars and races

    My baby don't care for high-tone places



    Liz Taylor is not his style

    And even Lana Turner's smile

    is somethin' he can't see



    My baby don't care who knows it

    My baby just cares for me



    My baby don't care for shows

    And he don't even care for clothes

    My baby just cares for me



    My baby don't care for cars and races

    My baby don't care for

    he don't care for high-tone places



    I wonder what's wrong with baby

    My baby just cares for

    Just says his prayers for

    My baby just cares for me

    [X]

    letra de Fodder On My Wings

    A bird fell to earth, reincarnated from her birth.

    She had fodder in her wings.

    She had dust inside her brains.

    She flitted here and there

    United States, Switzerland, France, England, everywhere.

    With fodder in her wings.

    And dust inside her brains.

    Oh how sad. Oh how sad. Oh how sad.



    She watched the people, how they live.

    They've forgotten how to give.

    They had fodder in they're brains.

    They had dust inside they're wings.



    She watched them how they tried to live.

    They've forgotten how to give.

    They had fodder in they're wings.

    They had dust inside they're brains.

    Oh how sad. Oh how sad. Oh how sad.

  5. Just Like A WomanVer letra 3:38

    [X]

    letra de Just Like A Woman

    I take

    just like a woman

    Yes I do

    And I make love

    just like a woman

    and I ache

    just like a woman

    but I break

    like a little girl



    Nobody here feels any pain

    tonight as I stand inside the rain

    And no one has to guess

    that baby's got new clothes

    Lately I see her ribbons and her bows

    and the problems

    from her curls



    [REFRAIN]

    I take

    just like a woman...



    It was raining from the first

    and I was dying her of thirst

    That's why I came here

    and a long time's curse

    and what's worse

    is this pain in here

    I can't stay in here

    Ain't it clear

    Ain't it clear



    I must admit

    I believe it's time for me to quit

    And until we meet again

    bein' introduced as friends

    please don't let on

    that you knew me when

    I was hungry

    and it was your world



    [REFRAIN]

    I take

    just like a woman....



    [Original lyrics]



    Nobody feels any pain

    Tonight as I stand here in the rain.

    Everybody knows that baby's got new clothes,

    But lately I see her ribbons and her bows

    Have fallen from her curls.



    She takes just like a woman.

    She makes love just like a woman.

    And then she aches just like a woman.

    But she breaks just like a little girl.



    Queen Mary, she's my friend.

    Yes I believe I'll go see her again.

    Nobody has to guess that baby can't be blessed

    'Till she finally sees that she's like all the rest

    With her fog, her amphetamines, and her pearls.



    She takes just like a woman.

    She makes love just like a woman.

    And then she aches just like a woman.

    But she breaks just like a little girl.



    [Break:]

    It raining at first, and I was dying there of thirst,

    So I came in here.

    And your long-time curse hurts, but what's worse

    Is this pain in here.

    I can't stay in here.

    Ain't it clear...



    That I just can't fit.

    I believe it's time for us to quit.

    But when we met again and are introduced as friends,

    Please don't let on that you knew me when

    I was hungry, and it was your world.



    You take just like a woman.

    You make love just like a woman.

    And then you ache just like a woman.

    But you break just like a little girl.

  6. Balm In GileadVer letra 3:19

    [X]

    letra de Balm In Gilead

    There is a balm in Gilead

    to make the wounded whole

    There is a balm in Gilead

    to heal the sin-sick soul



    [repeat previous]



    If you can pray like Peter

    If you can preach like Paul

    Go home and tell your loved ones

    He died to save us all



    [repeat song]

  7. StarsVer letra 4:31

    [X]

    letra de Stars

    I was never one for singing what I really feel

    Except tonight I'm bringing everything I know that's real



    Stars, they come and go, they come fast or slow

    They go like the last light of the sun, all in a blaze

    And all you see is glory

    Hey but it gets lonely there when there's no one here to share

    We can shake it away, if you'll hear a story



    People lust for fame like athletes in a game,

    we break our collarbones and come up swinging,

    some of us are downed

    some of us are crowned, and some are lost and never found

    But most have seen it all,

    they live their lives in sad cafes and music halls

    They always come up singing



    Some make it when they're young,

    before the world has done its dirty job

    and later on someone will say

    "You've had your day, now you must make way"

    But they'll never know the pain of living with a name you never owned

    or the many years forgetting what you know too well

    That the ones who gave the crown have been let down

    You try to make amends without defending

    Perhaps pretending you never saw the eyes of grown men of twenty-five

    that follow as you walk and ask for autographs

    Or kiss you on the cheek and you never can believe they really loved you

    Some make it when they're old

    (Perhaps they have a soul they're not afraid to bare

    or perhaps there's nothing there)



    Stars, they come and go, they come fast they come slow

    They go like the last light of the sun, all in a blaze

    And all you see is glory

    But most have seen it all,

    they live their lives in sad cafes and music halls

    They always have a story



    Some women have a body men will want to see

    and so they put it on display

    Some people play a fine guitar, I could listen to them play all day

    Some ladies really move across the stage and gee, they sure can dance

    I guess I could learn how, if I gave it half a chance



    But I always feel so funny when my body tries to soar

    And I seem to always worry about missing the next chord

    I guess there isn't anything to put up on display

    Except the tunes, and whatever else I say

    But anyway, that isn't really what I meant to say

    I meant to tell a story, I live from day to day



    Stars, they come and go, they're coming fast they come slow

    They go like the last light of the sun, all in a blaze

    And all you see is glory

    But most have seen it all,

    who live their lives in sad cafes and music halls

    And we always have a story



    So if you don't lose patience with my fumbling around

    I'll come up singing for you, even when I'm down

  9. If You Knew/Let It Be Me 7:14
  10. Four WomenVer letra 4:52

    [X]

    letra de Four Women

    My skin is black

    My arms are long

    My hair is woolly

    My back is strong

    Strong enough to take the pain

    inflicted again and again

    What do they call me

    My name is AUNT SARAH

    My name is Aunt Sarah



    My skin is yellow

    My hair is long

    Between two worlds

    I do belong

    My father was rich and white

    He forced my mother late one night

    What do they call me

    My name is SAFFRONIA

    My name is Saffronia



    My skin is tan

    My hair is fine

    My hips invite you

    my mouth like wine

    Whose little girl am I?

    Anyone who has money to buy

    What do they call me

    My name is SWEET THING

    My name is Sweet Thing



    My skin is brown

    my manner is tough

    I'll kill the first mother I see

    my life has been too rough

    I'm awfully bitter these days

    because my parents were slaves

    What do they call me

    My name is PEACHES

  11. Mississippi GoddamVer letra 5:02

    [X]

    letra de Mississippi Goddam

    The name of this tune is Mississippi Goddam

    And I mean every word of it



    Alabama's gotten me so upset

    Tennessee made me lose my rest

    And everybody knows about Mississippi Goddam



    Alabama's gotten me so upset

    Tennessee made me lose my rest

    And everybody knows about Mississippi Goddam



    Can't you see it

    Can't you feel it

    It's all in the air

    I can't stand the pressure much longer

    Somebody say a prayer



    Alabama's gotten me so upset

    Tennessee made me lose my rest

    And everybody knows about Mississippi Goddam



    This is a show tune

    But the show hasn't been written for it, yet



    Hound dogs on my trail

    School children sitting in jail

    Black cat cross my path

    I think every day's gonna be my last



    Lord have mercy on this land of mine

    We all gonna get it in due time

    I don't belong here

    I don't belong there

    I've even stopped believing in prayer



    Don't tell me

    I tell you

    Me and my people just about due

    I've been there so I know

    They keep on saying "Go slow!"



    But that's just the trouble

    "do it slow"

    Washing the windows

    "do it slow"

    Picking the cotton

    "do it slow"

    You're just plain rotten

    "do it slow"

    You're too damn lazy

    "do it slow"

    The thinking's crazy

    "do it slow"

    Where am I going

    What am I doing

    I don't know

    I don't know



    Just try to do your very best

    Stand up be counted with all the rest

    For everybody knows about Mississippi Goddam



    I made you thought I was kiddin'



    Picket lines

    School boy cots

    They try to say it's a communist plot

    All I want is equality

    for my sister my brother my people and me



    Yes you lied to me all these years

    You told me to wash and clean my ears

    And talk real fine just like a lady

    And you'd stop calling me Sister Sadie



    Oh but this whole country is full of lies

    You're all gonna die and die like flies

    I don't trust you any more

    You keep on saying "Go slow!"

    "Go slow!"



    But that's just the trouble

    "do it slow"

    Desegregation

    "do it slow"

    Mass participation

    "do it slow"

    Reunification

    "do it slow"

    Do things gradually

    "do it slow"

    But bring more tragedy

    "do it slow"

    Why don't you see it

    Why don't you feel it

    I don't know

    I don't know



    You don't have to live next to me

    Just give me my equality

    Everybody knows about Mississippi

    Everybody knows about Alabama

    Everybody knows about Mississippi Goddam



    That's it!

  12. BaltimoreVer letra 4:42

    [X]

    letra de Baltimore

    Beat-up little seagull

    On a marble stair

    Tryin' to find the ocean

    Lookin' everywhere



    Hard times in the city

    In a hard town by the sea

    Ain't nowhere to run to

    There ain't nothin' here for free



    Hooker on the corner

    Waiting for a train

    Drunk lying on the sidewalk

    Sleeping in the rain



    And the people hide their faces

    And they hide their eyes

    'Cause the city's dyin'

    And they don't know why



    Oh, Baltimore

    Ain't it hard just to live?

    Oh, Baltimore

    Ain't it hard just to live?

    Just to live



    Get my sister Sandy

    And my little brother Ray

    Buy a big old wagon

    To haul us all away



    Live out in the country

    Where the mountain's high

    Never gonna come back here

    Till the day I die



    Oh, Baltimore

    Ain't it hard just to live?

    Oh, Baltimore

    Ain't it hard just to live?

    Just to live
