Diana Ross Lyrics

Love Child (1968) - (as Diana Ross & The Supremes)

Love Child lyrics - Diana Ross & The Supremes

Tenement slum

You think that I don't feel love

But what I feel for you is real love

In other's eyes I see reflected

A hurt, scorned, rejected

Love child, never meant to be

Love child, born in poverty

Love child, never meant to be

Love child, take a look at me

I started my life in an old, cold run down tenement slum

My father left, he never even married mom

I shared the guilt my mama knew

So afraid that others knew I had no name

This love we're contemplating

Is worth the pain of waiting

We'll only end up hating

The child we maybe creating

Love child, never meant to be

Love child, (scorned by) society

Love child, always second best

Love child, different from the rest

Mm, baby (hold on, hold on, just a little bit)

I started school, in a worn, torn dress that somebody threw out

I knew the way it felt, to always live in doubt

To be without the simple things

So afraid my friends would see the guilt in me

Don't think that I don't need you

Don't think I don't wanna please you

No child of mine 'll be bearing

The name of shame I've been wearing

Love child, love child, never quite as good

Afraid, ashamed, misunderstood

But I'll always love you

I'll always love you

Keep An Eye lyrics - Diana Ross

Keep an eye

On your close friend

Keep an eye

On your close friend

'Cause what you got that'll make you lose

And then turn around and step in your shoes

I say they'll turn around

And step in your shoes

I stood there numb

Watchin' my friend walk away

With my love on her arm

Oh, what she said was

"Sorry for what I had to do

But you see I love him just as much as you"

Keep an eye

On your close friend

Keep an eye

You better watch out

For your close friend

The devil's workshop is a busy place

On top of evil there's an innocent face

Oh, on top of evil he puts an innocent face

She was just like a spider

Only twice as smart

Kindness was a thread

She used to weave my world apart

There were three of us seen all over town

Now there's only two

Someone's missing guess who

Now I see how she schemed and

Worked her way in between

Planted seeds of mistrust

To make us fight unaware

Her comforting ways when I would cry

Shadowed the look of triumph in her eye

Just like a snake on the limb tree

A friend is an enemy you can see

'Cause what you got that'll make you lose

And then turn around and step in your shoes

I said they'll turn around

And step in your shoes

So you better keep an eye on your close friend

You better watch out for your close friend

Don't trust nobody

Keep an eye on your close friend

Keep an eye

Don't trust nobody

Keep an eye on your close friend

You better watch out for your close friend

She was just like a spider

Only twice as smart

How Long Has That Evening Train Been Gone lyrics - Diana Ross & The Supremes

How long has that evening train been gone

I wanna know

How long has that evening train been gone

I have a babe that was standing at the station

Waiting for a train

I ran to the door with my heart in my hand

(Heart in my hand)

And all my future plans

I've gotta catch him if I can

Is that express Mr. Station man

I woke up this mornin'

With a smile on my face

Feelin' that the world

The world was a beautiful place

How long has that evening train been gone

I want to know

How long has that evening train been gone

On a scrap of paper was the

Train arriving information

His room was empty and his closet's bare

And not a single shirt was hangin' there

How could the guy just up and leave me

What did I do that was so displeasing

Only yesterday he helped me type

He told me everything

Everything's gonna be alright

Oh, he said he loved me and he cried

Oh yeah, he said he loved me and he cried

Oh, yes he did now

There must be an explanation

Come on and move out the station

Can't you see that he's taking my world

And making me a sad sad girl

That's why I can't let go

That's why I gotta know

How long has that evening train been gone

I wanna know how long

Has the train been gone

Oh yeah, has that evening train been gone

Right now

Can't wait a minute longer

How long has that evening train been gone

Right now

Does Your Mama Know About Me lyrics - Diana Ross

(originally by Bobby Taylor & The Vancouvers)

Does your mama know about me

Does she know just what I am

Will she turn her back on me

Or accept me as I am

And what about your dad

Did you think of what he'll say

Will he be understanding

Or does he think the usual way

Maybe I shouldn't worry

But I've been through this before

And I'd like to get things straight

Before I'm knocking on your door

Does your mama know about me

Does she know just what I am

If she says forget about me

Do you think you'll understand

And what about your friends

Do you care what people say

Will you accept the burdens

I know will surely come your way

Maybe I shouldn't worry

But I've been through this before

And I'd like to get things straight

Before I'm knocking on your door

Does your mama know about me

Does she know just what I am

Will she turn her back on me

Or accept me as I am

Oh, we've got to stand tall

Tumble or crawl

We've got to be strong

For a love that's so right

Can't be wrong

And everyday I see it grow

I don't wanna let it go

That's why I gotta know

Does your mama know about me

Does she know just what I am

Does your mama know about me

Does she know just what I am

Does your mama know about me

Does she know just what I am

Honey Bee (Keep On Stinging Me) lyrics - Diana Ross & The Supremes

Honey bee keep on stingin' me

When I first saw you standin' there

Temptation filled your smile

I had to hold on to my heart

But you were so persistent

You wore down my resistance, now

Honey bee you're such a part of me

Honey bee you stung the heart of me

Honey bee keep on stingin' me

Mmm

You started a fever burnin' deep inside of me

Since you stung me with your sweet love

My whole life is rearranged

My heart looks like love has changed

Honey bee you're such a part of me

Honey bee you stung the heart of me

Honey bee keep on stingin' me

Into my life like a breath of spring

Came your love like the sunshine

To stop the rain

Dried all my tears

Darlin' I've been blessed

With your honey sweet love

And I must confess

Our love's dear

Ooh baby

Honey bee keep on stingin' me

This taste of honey you're givin' me

Has sweetened all my bitterness

And finally pushed my fears aside

In return I'll send in your direction

All my sweet lovin' affection

Honey bee you're such a part of me

Honey bee you stung the heart of me

Honey bee keep on stingin' me

Honey bee you're such a part of me

Honey bee keep on stingin' me

Honey bee you stung the heart of me

Some Things You Never Get Used To lyrics - Diana Ross & The Supremes

Some things you never get used to

It's the same routine of getting up every morning

And putting on a smile

But underneath there's another person

Who can't find a reason to make living worthwhile

Ah, another day to get through

Without the love that once was mine

Sometimes I think my heartaches come to an end

And then something brings them all back again

Like wanting you and like having you

I'll never get used to

I've gotten used to not listing

For familiar sounds you used to make

Now I'm trying to get out of the habit

Of calling your name first thing when I awake

Look here !

It's like a child's first step

I have to learn to walk all, all over again

'Cause you were always there if I should fall

And now there's nobody else that I can call

It's like wanting you and not having you

I'll never get used to

Lost in a cloud

I think I caught a glimpse of you

Blindly I rush to touch your hand, huh!

To discover it's my mind

Playing tricks on me again

Tricks on me again

Some things you never get used to

Sometimes I think my heartaches come to an end

And then something brings them all back again

Like wanting you and like having you

I'll never get used to

It's wanting you and like having you

I'll never get used to

Look here !

Like wanting you and like having you

I'll never get used to

He's My Sunny Boy lyrics - Diana Ross & The Supremes

Oooh...Sunny boy

Now let me tell you how much good

You've done me boy

'Cause when I'm feeling alone

You give me plenty joy

Into each lives some rain must fall

But with you here

There's no rain at all

Sunny boy

Looks good in everything

From silk to corduroy

To see him I'd walk from Idaho to Illinois

(Or anywhere)

Do anything to be with him

My sunshine when the world is dim

It's sunny boy, sunny boy

My pride and joy

Sunny boy

You made my life so sweet

It's just like honey, boy

And I love you so much till it ain't funny boy

My cloudy days have been declouded

Since you're here so keep on shining

Sunny boy, sunny boy

My pride and joy

Hey, sunny boy

My honey boy

Now only your sweet lovin' can give me joy

I'm trying to tell the world

That you're my sunny boy

You've Been So Wonderful To Me lyrics - Diana Ross & The Supremes

I believe in everything you do

My heart and soul goes out to you

This world was made for boys like you

You never made me cry

You never told me a lie

You've been wonderful to me

Ooh, so wonderful to me

Oh, yes you have

Wonderful, wonderful

You're wonderful and kind

You're forever gently on my mind

Even in my sleep I have wonderful dreams

You're always there speaking softly it seems

Telling me how much I mean to you

Oh, darling you're my dream come true

You're wonderful to me

So wonderful to me

Oh, yes you are

Some day I'll find the words to say

To let you know how much I appreciate

Your being true and loving me the way you do

There's a smile upon my heart

Knowing you'll never say you'll part

You've been so wonderful to me

So wonderful to me

Oh, yes you have

Wonderful

Wonderful to me

Wonderful

Oh, yes you have

Wonderful

You've been so wonderful

Wonderful

Oh, yes you have

(Don't Break These) Chains Of Love lyrics - Diana Ross & The Supremes

Please don't ever break these chains of love

You've wrapped around me

'Cause I've been so happy darling

Ever since the day you've bound me

So tighter, pull 'em tighter

Till I feel love's sweet pain

'Cause these chains of love

Keep me from going insane

Love, oh love sweet love

Comes but once in a lifetime

The only love I need is yours

And oh, darling, I hope you need mine

So tighter, pull 'em tighter

Till I feel love's sweet pain

'Cause these chains of love

Keep me from going insane

I felt so sure I could resist you

My mistake was the first time I kissed you

Now I'm caught in a web of my own making

My heart's full of love and it's yours for the taking

Ooh, take it, baby don't break it

Just like a thief in the night

You stole my heart away

But now that you stolen it darling

I've only got one thing to say

Tighter, pull 'em tighter

Till I feel love's sweet pain

'Cause these chains of love

Keep me from going insane

These chains of love

Tighter, tighter, tighter these chains

Chains of love

Baby, baby, baby these chains

Chains of love

Lock 'em up, lock 'em up, lock 'em up

Chains

You Ain't Livin' Till You're Lovin' lyrics - Diana Ross & The Supremes

You think you're so wayout

And you get all the action

But still you can't find no satisfaction

You specialize in playing the field

But now that the game

Has lost its appeal

Baby, try me

I'll make you see

You ain't livin' until you're lovin', babe

You ain't livin' until you're lovin', baby

Ooh, until you fall, you ain't livin' at all

At all

You like to kiss and run

And think that's where it is

'Cause somebody told you

Love was heartache and tears

You won't take a chance

On nobody else

You think you can make it

All by yourself

Baby, try me

And I'll make you see

You ain't livin' until you're lovin', babe

You ain't livin' until you're lovin', baby

Ooh, until you fall, you ain't livin' at all

At all

To be in love

I know it's not your ambition

So before you go

Think about my proposition

You may conquer the world

And be king of your throne

But you still ain't nobody, babe

When you're sittin' all alone

You ain't livin' until you're lovin', babe

You ain't livin' until you're lovin', baby

Ooh, until you fall, you ain't livin' at all

At all

You ain't livin' until you're lovin', babe

You ain't livin' until you're lovin', baby

You ain't livin'

Ooh, try me

You ain't livin'

Ooh, I'll make you see

You ain't livin'

Oh, yeah how sweet

You ain't livin'

I'll Set You Free lyrics - Diana Ross & The Supremes

Oh, baby life could be something wonderful

Wonderful

You keep me satisfied

I need you by my side

But you wanna leave today

Don't throw it all away

The tender love we knew

The tender love so true

The happiness we shared

Just knowin' someone cared

You're gonna need me

Like you needed me before

Need me, baby

Come back and close the door

Can't cool all my emotion

Can't cool all my devotion

Life could be something wonderful

I'll set you free

Something wonderful

I'll set you free

In your sweet caress

It's better than livin' a life of loneliness

Ooh I'm givin' you all I had to give

Each day made me proud to live

You took the best of me

If you don't want the rest of me

I'll set you free

Fine fine

I'll set you free

Fine fine

I don't want nobody who don't want me, ooh

You're gonna miss the love I've been givin'

You're gonna miss the life you've been livin'

You're gonna need me I know it

You're gonna want me

But I'll set you free, I'll set you free

Ooh, I'll set you free, I'll set you free

You don't care about me

Ooh, life could be something wonderful

Something wonderful

Here's a sweet caress

It's better than livin' a life of loneliness

You're gonna be lonely boy

Ooh I'm givin' you all I had to give

Each day made me proud to live

You took the best of me

If you don't want the rest of me

I'll set you free

Don't want nobody who don't want me

Yeah, you're gonna be lonely

You're gonna miss the love I've been givin'

You're gonna miss the life you've been livin'

You're gonna want me, baby I know it

You're gonna want me, but I'll set you free

I could be, oh baby, I could be

Oh baby, I could be

Anything I wanna be

As long as I know you're here with me

Can't Shake It Loose lyrics - Diana Ross & The Supremes

I'm into something

I can't shake it loose

I'm into something

I can't shake it loose

Stay away from him

Are the words I did not heed

Oh no, no, no

He's not just the one

He's an absolute need

Oh yeah yeah

I ignored the warnin'

That his kisses is a habit formin'

And ooh, I have no excuse

I'm into something

I can't shake it loose

I'm into something

I can't shake it loose

So good is his love

I can't do without, oh no

His sweet tender kiss has got me strung out

Oh yeah yeah, yeah yeah

But I love him in such a way

I'll never gonna try to get away

And oh, it just ain't no use

I'm into something

I can't shake it loose

I'm into something

I can't shake it loose

Yeah

But I love him in such a way

I'll never try to get away

And ooh, it just ain't no use

I'm into something

I can't shake it loose

I'm into something

I can't shake it loose

So good is his love

So sweet is his kiss

I just can't shake loose

Diana Ross & The Supremes Sing And Perform "Funny Girl" (1968)

Funny Girl lyrics - Diana Ross & The Supremes

Funny, did you hear that? Funny!

Yeah, the guy said

"Honey, you're a funny girl"

That's me

I just keep them in stitches

Doubled in half

Though I may be all wrong for the guy

I'm good for a laugh

I guess it's not funny

'Cause life is far from sunny

When the laugh is over

And the joke's on you

A girl ought to have a sense of humor

That's one thing she really needs for sure

When you're a funny girl

The fellow said "A funny girl"

Funny, how it ain't so funny

Funny girl

Funny

Did you hear that?

The guy said I was funny

We'll wait 'till the laugh's over

And the joke's on you

That's me

I just keep them in stitches

Doubled in half

And though I may be all wrong for the guy

I'm good for a laugh

I may be all wrong for the guy

I'm good for a laugh

I guess it's not funny

'Cause life is far from sunny

When the laugh is over

And the joke's on you

A girl ought to have a sense of humor

That's one thing she really need for sure

When you're a funny girl

The fellow said "A funny girl"

Funny, how it ain't so funny

Funny girl

If A Girl Isn't Pretty lyrics - Diana Ross & The Supremes

If a girl isn't pretty, really pretty

Like a Miss Atlantic City.

If a girl isn't pretty like a Miss Atlantic City

All she gets in life is pity and a pat

Any nose with deviation

Is a crime against the nation

Throw her into jail or maybe drown the cat.

She must shine in every detail

Like a ring you buy in retail

With a mounting that can knock the public flat

If a girl isn't pretty like a Miss Atlantic City

There's just nothing more to say: that's that

(That's that).

If a girl isn't pretty like a Miss Atlantic City

She should dump the stage and try another route

Any guy that spends a quarter

For a seat just feels he ought-a

See a figure that his wife can't substitute.

Men with faces that can cause ya

To have a temporary nausea

Will demand a raving beauty and nothing less

When a girl's incidentals

Are no bigger than two lentils

Well, to me that doesn't spell success.

(No, no, no, no, no, no

If a girl isn't pretty, if a girl isn't pretty).

If a girl ain't perfection

She can take a pop election

Every girl must be a dazzler and a beaut'

Never mind the girl's equipment

If it ain't the right assortment

Even though she loves her mother

And she's nice to her brother

If her hair ain't too bright curly

Better go to China, girlie

Or to hell on a fast express.

If a girl isn't pretty like a Miss Atlantic City

That oblivion is hard, a drag.

I Am Woman lyrics - Diana Ross & The Supremes

I am woman, you are man

I am smaller so you can be taller than

I am softer to the touch

It's a feeling I like feeling very much

You are someone whom I admire

Still our friendship leaves something to be desired

Does it take more explanation than this?

I am woman you are man

Let's kiss

I am woman, you are man

I am gentle so you can be barbarian

I'm all pleats and pins and rouge

Mostly sham but ma'am

I love the subterfuge

I'm am fiction I hope you are fact

Contradiction's what makes it a perfect act

Does it take more explanation than this?

I am woman you are man

Let's kiss

The Music That Makes Me Dance lyrics - Diana Ross & The Supremes

To me, to me love is no go

Till fiddle and oboe start weeping, and wailing

That's my failing

He may be all wrong for me

But his is the only song for me

I know he's around when the sky and the ground start in ringing

I know he is near

By the thunder I hear in advance

His words, his words alone

Are the words that can start my heart singing

'Cause his is the only music that makes me dance

He'll sleep and he'll rise

In the light of two eyes that adore him

And bore him it might

But he won't leave my sight for a glance

In every way, every day

I need less of myself and more him, more him

'Cause his is the only music that makes me dance

In every way, every day

I need less of myself and more him, more him

'Cause his is the only music that makes me dance

His is the only music that makes me dance

Don't Rain On My Parade lyrics - Diana Ross

Don't tell me not to fly

I've simply got to

If someone takes a spill

It's me and not you

Don't bring around the cloud to rain on my parade

Don't tell me not to leave

Just sit and putter

Life's candy and the sun's a ball of butter

Who told you you're allowed to rain on my parade

I'll march my band out

I'll beat my drum

And if I'm fanned out

Your turn at bat, sir

At least I didn't fake it, hat, sir

I guess I didn't make it

But whether I'm the rose of sheer perfection

A freckle on the nose of life's complexion

A Cinderella or a shine apple of an eye

I gotta fly once

I gotta try once

Only can die once, right, sir?

Ooh, life is juicy

Juicy and you see

I gotta have my bite, sir

Get ready for me love

'Cause I'm a "comer"

I simply gotta march

My heart's a drummer

Don't bring around the cloud to rain on my parade

Yes, sir

No, sir

I'm gonna live and live now

Get what I want, I know how

All that the law will allow

One roll for the whole shebang

One throw that bell will go clang

Though I'm alone I'm a gang

Eye on the target and wham

One shot, one gun shot and bam

Hey, world, here I am...

Get ready for me life, 'cause I'm a "comer"

I simply gotta march, my heart's a drummer

Nobody, no, nobody, is gonna rain on my parade!

People lyrics - Diana Ross & The Supremes

People

People who need people

Are the luckiest people in the world

We're children needing other children

And yet, letting our grown up pride

Hide all the need inside

Acting more like children than children

People

God's children

Were born to be free

To love

All people have a dream

For peace, for security

Let the world fall in love again

Please, please, let our lies not be in vain

Lovers are very special people

They're the luckiest people in the world

With one person

One very special person

A feeling deep in your soul says

You were half, now you're whole

No more hunger and thirst

But first be a person who needs people

People who need people

Are the luckiest people in the world

Cornet Man lyrics - Diana Ross & The Supremes

Wah-wah-wah?

Is that all you can say?

The lady ain't been born

Can take the place of a horn

With the cornet man

A goin' where there's blowin'

Trav'lin' cornet man.

Just anytime they call him

He leaves his wife and kiddies

Sittin' with their tongues out

To play for peanuts in some dive

And blow his lungs out.

He'll hop a choo-choo

On a moment's notice

To play some dates

With Billy Bates or Ragtime Otis.

The lady ain't see the light

Can give a home a fair fight

With a cornet man

A rootin', shootin'

Ever-tootin' Dapper Dan

Who carries in his satchel

A powder-blue Norfolk suit

A silver plated wah-wah mute.

There is drinkin' and gamblin', each one a curse

But I'm up against a devil that's worse

Yeah, a horn's my thorn

He's a trav'lin' cornet man.

(He's gotta go out on the road

He's got some dates with Billy Bates

He gave his notice to Ragtime Otis

He's gotta go, back on the road.)

The lady ain't see the light

Can give a horn a fair fight

With that cornet man

A rootin', shootin'

Ever-tootin' Dapper Dan

Who carries in his satchel

A powder-blue Norfolk suit

Silver plated wah-wah mute.

There is drinkin', gamblin', each one a curse

But I'm up against a devil that's worse

Yeah, a horn's my thorn

He's a trav'lin' cornet man.

Say it again!

A powder-blue Norfolk suit

Silver plated wah-wah mute

Shy on height, he's short on weight

But he's the only guy

Can make my coffee percolate

Dapper Dan, my cornet player man.

His Love Makes Me Beautiful lyrics - Diana Ross & The Supremes

I am the beautiful reflection of my love's affection

A walking illustration of his adoration

His love makes you beautiful,

So beautiful, so beautiful

I ask my looking glass

What is it makes me so exquisite?

The answer to my query comes back:

"Dearie, his love makes you beautiful,

So beautiful, so beautiful

And woman loved is woman glorified!"

I'll make a beautiful, beautiful,

Beautiful, beautiful bride!

Oh, his love makes me beautiful,

So beautiful, so beautiful

I ask my looking glass

What is it makes me so exquisite?

The answer to my query comes back:

"Dearie, his love makes you beautiful

So beautiful (beautiful)

And woman loved is woman glorified!"

I'll make a beautiful, beautiful,

Beautiful, beautiful bride!

Oh, woman loved is glorified

I'm gonna make a beautiful bride.

[Spoken]

-Gee, ain't she got some beautiful, beautiful skinny legs? Got a beautiful face

And hair-Hair?

-I mean my wig, it? pretty.

-Oh, oh-And know why? Cause it makes me feel beautiful. "Mirror, mirror on the

Wall, who? the fairest of them all?" Me.

-What?

-I know it. Cause I'm beautiful.

-Well, maybe she is beautiful, cause she thinks she is.

-Really, beautiful.

I'll make a beautiful, beautiful

Beautiful, beautiful bride.

Sadie, Sadie lyrics - Diana Ross & The Supremes

Sadie, Sadie married lady

See what's on my hand

There's nothing quite as touching

As a simple wedding band

Oh how that marriage license works

On chamber maids and hotel clerks

The honeymoon was such delight

That we got married that same night

I'm Sadie, Sadie married lady

Still in bed at noon

Cracking my brain deciding

Between orange juice and prune

He says nothing is too good for me

And who am I not to agree

I'm Sadie, Sadie married lady

That's me

Sadie, Sadie married lady

Meet a mortgagee,

The owner of a ice-box

With a ten year guarantee

Oh, sit me in the softest seat

Quick a cushion for my feet

Do for me buy for me

Lift me carry me

Finally got a guy to marry me

Do my nails, read up on the sales

All day the records play

Then he comes home I tell him

Oh, what a day I had today

I swear I'll do my wifely job

Just sit at home become a slob

I'm Sadie, Sadie married lady

I'm Sadie, Sadie married lady that's me

That's who?

That's you!

That's me

I'm Sadie, Sadie married lady that's me

I'm The Greatest Star lyrics - Diana Ross & The Supremes

Hey, can we have your autograph?

My autograph?

I'm nobody

But wait a minute

I've got 36 expressions

Sweet as pie to tough as leather

And that's six expressions more

Than all the Barrymores put together

Only six?

Instead of kicking me

I don't think they give me a lift

I think it's a plot

'Cause they're scared that I got

Such a gift, I'm miffed

'Cause I'm the greatest star

I am by far, but nobody knows it

Wait, they're gonna hear a voice

A silver flute

They'll cheer each toot

When I expose it

Can't you see the look at me

That I'm a natural Camille?

As Camille I just feel

I have so much to offer

I know I'll be divine because

I'm a natural cougher

Some ain't got it, not a lump

She a great big clump of talent

Laugh, they'll bend in half

Did I tell the story about the traveling salesman?

A thousand laughs

Stick around for 'em folks

A thousand faces, I reiterate

When you're gifted

Then you're gifted

These are facts, I have no axe to grind

Hey, what are they blind

In all of the world so far

I'm the greatest star

Who is the pip with pizazz?

Who is all ginger and jazz?

Who is as glamorous as?

Who's an American beauty rose

With that American beauty nose

And ten American beauty toes

Eyes on the target and wham

One shot, one gun shot and bam

Hey, world, here I am!

I'm the greatest star

I am by far

But nobody knows it

That's why I was born

I'll blow my horn

'Till somebody hears it

I'll light up like a light

Right up like a light

I'll flicker and flare up

All the world's gonna stare up

Looking down

You'll never see me

Try the sky

'Cause that'll be me

I can make 'em cry

I can make 'em sigh

Someday they'll clamor

For my dram-er

Have you guessed yet

Who's the best yet

If you ain't I'll tell you one more time

You bet yer last dime

In all the world so far

She's the greatest, greatest

Funny, life is far from sunny

When the laugh is over

And the jokes on you

Well, a girl's gotta have a sense of humor

That's one things you really needs for sure

When you're a funny girl

The fellow said "A funny girl"

Funny, how it ain't so funny girl

They're the luckiest people in the world

With one person, one very special person

A feeling deep in your soul says

You were half, now you're whole

No more hunger and thirst

But first be a person who needs people

People who need people

Are the luckiest people in the world

Reflections (1968) - (as Diana Ross & The Supremes)

Reflections lyrics - Diana Ross & The Supremes

Through the mirror of my mind

Time after time

I see reflections of you and me

Reflections of

The way life used to be

Reflections of

The love you took from me

Oh, I'm all alone now

No love to shield me

Trapped in a world

That's a distorted reality

Hapiness you took from me

And left me alone

With only memories

Through the mirror of my mind

Through these tears that I'm crying

Reflects a hurt I can't control

'Cause although you're gone

I keep holding on

To the happy times

Oh, when you were mine

As I peer through the window

Of lost time

Looking over my yesterdays

And all the love I gave all in vain

(All the love) All the love

That I've waisted

(All the tears) All the tears

That I've taisted

All in vain

Through the hollow of my tears

I see a dream that's lost

From the hurt

That you have caused

Everywhere I turn

Seems like everything I see

Reflects the love that used to be

In you I put

All my faith and trust

Right before my eyes

My world has turned to dust

After all the nights

I sat alone and wept

Just a handful of promisses

Are all that's left of loving you

Reflections of

The way life used to be

Reflections of

The love you took from me

In you I put

All my faith and trust

Right before my eyes

My world has turned to dust...

I'm Gonna Make It (I Will Wait For You) lyrics - Diana Ross & The Supremes

I'm gonna make it, I will wait for you

I'm gonna make it, I will wait for you.

When you went away

There's nothing I could say

But now I feel the hurt's coming over me

Wishing you were here, thinking ?out you, dear

Every night and day the way it used to be

Although it's been so long since you were by my side

I'll keep holding on and won? let this love die.

I'm gonna make it, I will wait for you

I'm gonna make it, I will wait for you.

Every girl has a dream of happiness

But all I dream of you's your sweet caress

I just can't tell you how I miss you so

But all my love I won't let go, oh.

I'm gonna make it, I will wait for you

I'm gonna make it, I will wait for you.

Everywhere I go the tears begin to flow

Cause I pass by every place we used to meet

And when I'm home alone

My friends call me on the phone

They all say that you will not return to me

I know you're gone without me

Although I don't know where

I know you're thinking bout me, I feel it in the air.

I'm trying not to let another take your place

Even though the loneliness is on my face

You can't let someone take what they don't own

Baby, I'm yours, so please come home.

I'm gonna make it, I will wait for you

I'm gonna make it, I will wait for you.

Forever Came Today lyrics - Diana Ross & The Supremes

Suddenly, my world stood still.

My life was then fulfilled

As you gently touched my hand

I knew that we had layed a plan

For everlasting love

That I've been forever dreaming of

Darling

Ooh, my darling

Make me yours

Let your kiss touch my face

And tell me love has led me

Into this place, to your warm embrace

And our happiness

Thanks to you, my search has ended

And I want the world to se

How gently love has shined on me

With everlasting love

That I've been forever dreaming of

I Can't Make It Alone lyrics - Diana Ross & The Supremes

The best years of my life I placed into your hands

Now suddenly you've made, you've made a change of plans

That world we built for two does not include me now

That world of pleasant dream is but a nightmare now.

On life's bridge we ran so gaily hand in hand

But it's all over now, that bridge is all burned down

Your love was all I could depend upon

Who can I turn to now, now that you?e gone.

I can't make it alone

I need your love to call my own

I can't run, I can't hide from this love that's inside

All that I long to do is spend my life loving you

Every minute, every hour, always.

The joyful things that we used to do

That kept me right on, right on loving you

Oh, playing funny, childish games

Like running barefoot in the rain.

It was a special dream, a dream that I could feel

But now you?e gone, life's so unreal

Your love is truly the only love I've known

What am I to do now that you're gone.

I can't make it alone

I need your love to call my own

I can't run, I can't hide from this love that's inside

All that I long to do is spend my life loving you

Every minute, every hour, every day.

Days have come and gone but they never find you here

Nights are twice as long, oh, without you, dear

After many, many faithful years

How could you cause me so many tears?

I can't make it alone

I need your arms around me

I can't make it alone

I need your arms around me

I can't make it alone

Just can't make it alone.

In And Out Of Love lyrics - Diana Ross & The Supremes

Keep falling in and out of love

In search for what I'm dreaming of

I long to find a love I'm sure about

That certain kind of love that moves all doubts

Keep falling in and out of love

Still searchin' for that special one

To whom I can give my love completely

And feel a lasting love so sweetly

Just when I feel sure love's here to stay

It seems to suddenly just fade away

Can't seem to find that everlasting love

That this heart of mine needs so much of

Keep falling in and out of love

Can't seem to find the lasting kind

It seems I can't find the joy I need

Love always somehow all goes wrong for me

Keep falling in and out of love

I keep reaching out for tenderness

Touching a hand that holds emptiness

I'm looking for a love that lingers on

Long after that first kiss is gone

That kind of love that keeps burning bright

Long after we've said goodnight

Keep falling in and out of love

In search for what I'm dreaming of

Keep falling in and out of love...

Bah-Bah-Bah lyrics - Diana Ross & The Supremes

Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah

Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah, bah-bah-bah-bah-bah

Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah

Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah, bah-bah-bah-bah-bah.

You don't hold me in your arms the way you did

When you were so much in love with me

I recall the time when you were all mine

And I didn't have to share your love with anyone.

And when I feel I wanna be with you

And I can't right then, it almost drives me insane

'cause you're the only one who can easy my mind

'cause you're the reason of all of my hurt and all of my pain.

When I guess my world was made believe

'cause I thought I can have your love all to myself

And there's nothing I can do 'cause you're gonna do

What you wanna do anyhow, anyway.

But loving you is blinding me so

I still hold on to every hope and every dream

While deep inside I feel the tide is about to turn

And you won't find me hanging around you anymore.

But keep this in mind for the end of time

You're gonna want me more than I want you now

Ooo, it's gonna be a shame, hate to see you that way

I know how it feels 'cause I'm on that cloud today.

Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah

Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah, bah-bah-bah-bah-bah

Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah

Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah, bah-bah-bah-bah-bah.

What The World Needs Now Is Love lyrics - Diana Ross

What the world needs now is love, sweet love

It's the only thing that there's just too little of

What the world needs now is love, sweet love

No not just for some but for everyone

Lord we don't need another mountain

There are mountains and hillsides

Enough to climb

There are oceans and rivers

Enough to cross, enough to last

'Till the end of time

What the world needs now is love, sweet love

It's the only thing that there's just too little of

What the world needs now is love, sweet love

No not just for some but for everyone

Lord we don't need another meadow

There are corn fields and wheat fields

Enough to grow

There are sun beams and moon beams

Enough to shine

Oh listen Lord if you want to know

What the world needs now is love, sweet love

It's the only thing that there's just too little of

What the world needs now is love, sweet love

No not just for some but for everyone

What the world needs now is love, sweet love

What the world needs now...

Up, Up And Away lyrics - Diana Ross & The Supremes

Would you like to ride

In my beautiful balloon?

Would you like to glide

In my beautiful balloon?

We could flow among the stars

Together you and I

For we can fly

Up and away

In my beautiful

My beautiful balloon

The world's a nicer place

In my beautiful balloon

It wears a nicer face

In my beautiful balloon

We can sing a song

And sail along the silversky

For we can fly

Up and away

In my beautiful

My beautiful balloon

Suspended under a twilight canopy

We'll search the sky for a star to guide us

If by some chance you find yourself loving me

We'll find a cloud to hide us

Keep the moon beside us

Love is waiting there

In my beautiful balloon

Way up in the air

In ly beautiful balloon

If you'll hold my hand

We'll chase your dream across the sky

For we can fly

Up and away

In my beautiful

My beautiful balloon

Up, up and away

Love (Makes Me Do Foolish Things) lyrics - Diana Ross & The Supremes

Love, love, love makes me do foolish things

Sitting on by the phone, a phone that never rings

Hoping to hear you say you love me still

Knowing you never will.

Love, love, love has made a fool of me

Got me doing things, things that shouldn't be

Listening for the sound of your knock on my door

Knowing that sweet sound would be no more.

Funny how precious memories linger on

So long after you?e gone

Oooh, precious memories that all makes me cry

But I keep holding on, oh why should I?

All because love, love, love has made a fool of me

Speak your name softly each night

While holding your picture tight

When you took my heart, you took my soul

And it's far beyond control.

Funny how precious memories linger on

So long, long after you're gone

Oh, precious memories that all makes me cry

But I keep holding on, oh why should I?

All because love, love, love makes me do these things

Love, love, love, love has made a fool of me

Love, love, love makes me do foolish things.

Then lyrics - Diana Ross & The Supremes

If Columbus never sailed the sea

If Longfellow never wrote a rhyme

If leaves have never grown upon a tree

And if the sands have never told the time

Then I guess I don't love you

Love you like I do

Then I guess I'll have to find me someone new

Then I guess this love I feel couldn't possibly be real

If Beethoven never wrote a song

And if Shakespeare never wrote a play

If a man has never done a wrong

And if night has never followed day

Then I guess I don't love you

Love you like I do

Then I guess I'll have to find me someone new

Then I guess this love for you couldn't possibly be true

If high is low

And up is down

And if love is not considered an emotion

If yes is no

And square is round

And if waves had never rode across the ocean

If Michaelangelo could never paint

And if Jezebel was a saint

Then I guess I don't love you

Love you like I do

Then I guess I'll have to find me someone new

Then I guess this love is wrong couldn't possibly be strong

Then I don't love you

Love you like I do

Then I guess I'll have to find me someone new

Then I guess this love I feel...

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

I have 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

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)

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 sunshine

Turn up the, turn it up

Turn up the sunshine

Turn up the, turn it up

Turn up the sunshine

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
