Misery Makes Its Home In My Heart lyrics - Diana Ross & The Supremes

The door to my heart was open

Open wide much wider than wide

(I said the door was open)

And I had been praying and hoping

That your love would come walking inside

I should have locked my heart

I should have thrown away the key

Instead I let you walk on through

I thought your love was true

But it was misery

Ooh, heartaches, heartbreaks

That's all I've known

Misery makes my heart its home

(I said the door was open, it was wide open)

My heart had room inside

And to fill it with love I was willing

I wanted it to be occupied

By a love that was strong and fulfilling

I should have shut you out

Detained you with a strong defence

Instead my heart gave shelter to

A love I felt was true

In every sense

Don't you know that

Heartaches, heartbreaks

That's all I've known

Misery makes my heart its home

(My heart had room inside now, it had room inside)

Now I've cried a river

No it's more like a sea

Tears flow by the thousand

Since my heart is housing this misery

Misery

Let me tell you about

Heartaches, heartbreaks

That's all I've known

Misery makes my heart its home

Heartaches, heartbreaks

That's all I've known

Misery makes my heart its home

Heartbreaks

That's all I've known

Misery makes my heart its home

Ode To Billie Joe lyrics - Diana Ross & The Supremes

It was the third of June, another sleepy, dusty Delta day

I was out choppin' cotton and my brother was balin' hay

And at dinner time we stopped and we walked back to the house to eat

And mama hollered at the back door "y'all remember to wipe your feet"

And then she said she got some news this mornin' from Choctaw Ridge

Today Billie Joe MacAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge

Papa said to mama as he passed around the blackeyed peas

"Well, Billie Joe never had a lick of sense, pass the biscuits, please"

"There's five more acres in the lower forty I've got to plow"

Mama said it was shame about Billie Joe, anyhow

Seems like nothin' ever comes to no good up on Choctaw Ridge

And now Billie Joe MacAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge

And brother said he recollected when he and Tom and Billie Joe

Put a frog down my back at the Carroll County picture show

And wasn't I talkin' to him after church last Sunday night?

"I'll have another piece of apple pie, you know it just don't seem right"

"I saw him at the sawmill yesterday on Choctaw Ridge"

"And now you tell me Billie Joe's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge"

Mama said to me "Child, what's happened to your appetite?"

"I've been cookin' all morning and you haven't touched a single bite"

"That nice young preacher, Brother Taylor, dropped by today"

"Said he'd be pleased to have dinner on Sunday, oh, by the way"

"He said he saw a girl that looked a lot like you up on Choctaw Ridge"

"And she and Billie Joe was throwing somethin' off the Tallahatchie Bridge"

A year has come 'n' gone since we heard the news 'bout Billie Joe

Brother married Becky Thompson, they bought a store in Tupelo

There was a virus going 'round, papa caught it and he died last Spring

And now mama doesn't seem to wanna do much of anything

And me, I spend a lot of time pickin' flowers up on Choctaw Ridge

And drop them into the muddy water off the Tallahatchie Bridge

Ain't No Mountain High Enough (The ANMHE 'Diamond Diana" Remix) lyrics - Diana Ross

If you need me

Call me

No matter where you are

No matter how far

Just call my name

I'll be there in a hurry

On that you can depend

And never worry

No wind (no wind)

No rain (no rain)

Or winter's cold

Can stop me, babe (oh, babe)

Baby (baby)

If you're my goal

No wind (no wind)

No rain (no rain)

Can stop me, babe

If you wanna go

I know

I know you must follow the sun

Wherever it leads

But remember

If you should fall short of your desires

Remember life holds for you

One guarantee

You'll always have me

And if you should miss my loving

One of these old days

If you should ever miss the arms

That used to hold you so close

Or the lips

That used to touch you so tenderly

Just remember what I told you

The day I set you free

Ain't no mountain high enough

Ain't no valley low enough

Ain't no river wild enough

To keep me from you, babe

Ain't no mountain high enough

Ain't no valley low enough (say it again)

Ain't no river wild enough

To keep me from you, babe

Ain't no mountain high enough

Nothing can keep me, keep me from you

Ain't no mountain high enough

Nothing can keep me, keep me from you

Ain't no mountain high enough (no, no)

Ain't no valley low enough (say it again)

Ain't no river wild enough (yeah, yeah)

To keep me from you

...

Nothing in this world...

Can keep me from you, babe...

Just call my name...

I'll be there in a minute...

Just call my name...

I'll be there...

For Once In My Life lyrics - Diana Ross & The Supremes

For once in my life I have someone who needs me

Someone I've needed so long

For once, unafraid, I can go where life leads me

Somehow I know I'll be strong

For once I can touch what my heart used to dream of

Long before I knew

Oh, someone warm like you

Would make my dreams come true

For once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me

Not like it's hurt me before

For once, I have something I know won't desert me

I'm not alone anymore

For once, I can say, this is mine, you can't take it

Long as I know I have love, I can make it

For once in my life, I have someone who needs me

For once, I can say, this is mine, you can't take it

Long as I know I have love, I can make it

For once I can feel that somebody's there by me

For once in my life

For once in my life

I have someone who needs me

(Someone who needs me

Someone who needs me

Someone who needs me

For once in my life, ooh-hoo

For once in my life (He needs me)

Someone who needs me (He needs me)

For once in my life (He needs me)

I got someone who needs me (He needs me)

Mhm, mhm (He needs me)

He needs me

He needs me

Love Story lyrics - Diana Ross (feat. Bill Cosby)

(from "Diana!" soundtrack)

I like your brother

I like your mother

And I like you !

I like you too

We'll get a preacher

A preacher already ?

I'll buy the ring

And we can hire a band

With a violin and an accordeon

And a tenor who can sing

You and me, you and me, baby

You and me...

We'll have a kid

Oh... we may have to rent one

He's got to be straight

'Cause we don't want a bent one

We sure want no bent one

He will drink his baby booze

From a big breast cup

Someday he'll may be president

If things loosen up

You and me, you and me, baby

You and me...

When our kids are grown

With kids of their own

They'll send us away

To a little home in Florida

Where we can play checkers

Playin' checkers can be fun

You and me, you and me, baby

You and me...

Turn Up The Sunshine lyrics - Diana Ross & Tame Impala

(from "Minions: The Rise Of Gru" soundtrack)

(Turn up the sunshine, turn up, turn up the sunshine

Turn up the sunshine, turn up, turn up the sunshine

Turn up the sunshine, turn up, turn up the sunshine

Turn up the sunshine, turn up, turn up the sunshine)

We can make it further, we running and don't look back

It's a light at the end of the tunnel if you stay on track

But I know any minute when your fingers turn it up like snap

So hard to lose like that (Hey)

Let's do it all around the world

We gotta turn up the sunshine, we gotta turn up the sunshine

Think about it

All the boys and girls

You gotta turn up the sunshine, you gotta turn up the sunshine

Said it's been a long night, a long night

Waiting for the light, waiting for the light

Let's do it all around the world

We gotta turn up the sunshine, we gotta turn it up

Make it hard to lose like that

You want it, you got it, I'm with it if you do it like that

It's brighter now when the colors of the rainbow flash

We gotta keep it moving, make a change so it don't change back

So hard to lose like that

Let's do it all around the world

We gotta turn up the sunshine, we gotta turn up the sunshine

Think about it

All the boys and girls

You gotta turn up the sunshine, you gotta turn up the sunshine

Said it's been a long night, a long night

Waiting for the light, waiting for the light

Let's do it all around the world

We gotta turn up the sunshine, we gotta turn it up

Make it hard to lose like that

If this weather makes you frown

And some people get you down, remember

Love like sound, it's better when it's loud

And if there's no song inside

We can bring the light together

Day or night, we're shining from inside

Turn up the, turn it up

Turn up the, turn it up

Turn up the, turn it up

Turn up the sunshine

Turn up the, turn it up

Turn up the, turn it up

Turn up the, turn it up

Turn up the sunshine

Turn up the, turn it up

Turn up the, turn it up

Turn up the, turn it up

Turn up the sunshine

Turn up the, turn it up

Turn up the, turn it up

Turn up the, turn it up

Turn up the sunshine

All around the world

We gotta turn up the sunshine, we gotta turn up the sunshine

Think about it

All the boys and girls

You gotta turn up the sunshine, you gotta turn up the sunshine

Said it's been a long night, a long night

Waiting for the light, waiting for the light

Let's do it all around the world

We gotta turn up the sunshine, we gotta turn it up

Make it hard to lose like that

We Can Never Light That Old Flame Again lyrics - Diana Ross

Never light that old flame again

No, not ever, no never

We just can't fight it

We just can't light it

When our friendship turned to love

That's when the world turned on

But when our love turned to friendship

I knew the feelin' was gone

Why keep clingin' to bits and pieces

When all the time loneliness increases

We both have to know when to let go

But we talk and talk and lay awake

The more we talk, the less we say

There's no way, just ain't no way

We can ever light that old flame again

Never feel the same again

With warmed over love and leftover dreams

When our love was a ragin' fire

We'd make love all night

But now when we're makin' love

We make love just to be polite

We can't go back to where we've been

Can never cross that bridge again

But let's be glad for what we had

'Cause we took and took until it's all used up

We can't drink from an empty cup

It's all used up, it's all used up

We can ever light that old flame again

Never feel the same again

With warmed over love and leftover dreams

'Cause we took and took until it's all used up

We can't drink from an empty cup

It's all used up, it's all used up

We can ever light that old flame again

Never feel the same again

With warmed over love and leftover dreams

Life's too short to keep holdin' on

We both know that the feeling's gone

We keep clingin' to bits and pieces

When all the time loneliness increases

Ain't no way

Ain't no way, baby

Oh, there just ain't no way

No, there just ain't no way

That we could ever light that old flame again

Never feel ever the same again

With warmed over love and leftover dreams

If We Hold On Together lyrics - Diana Ross

[from "The Land Before Time" soundtrack]

Don't lose your way
with each passing day
You've come so far
Don't throw it away
Live believing
Dreams are for weaving
Wonders are waiting to start
Live your story
Faith, hope and glory
Hold to the truth in your heart

If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
Where clouds roll by, for you and I

Souls in the wind
Must learn how to bend
Seek out a star
Hold on to the end

Valley...Mountain
There is a fountain
Washes our tears all away
Words are swaying
Someone is praying
Please let us come home to stay

If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
Where clouds roll by
For you and I

When we are out there in the dark
We'll dream about the sun
In the dark we'll feel the light
Warm our hearts...everyone

If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
As high as souls can fly
The clouds roll by
For you and I
