  A Little Bit of Crying

I’ve grown tired of your excuses, I already know just where you’ve been
Getting truth from you is elusive as a pot of gold at a rainbow’s end
Don’t come telling me you’re sorry and you’re gonna change your ways
Because I treat you like a Ferrari when I only earn a used car’s pay

A little bit of cryin’ used to help you get your way
But now I know that you’ve been lying, I know about the games you play 
So, I won’t be on my knees begging you to stay 
And a little bit of cryin’ ain’t gonna help you out today

Don’t I treat you like a lady? So why do you want to break my pride?
How funny your name is Mercedes, because you really took me for a ride

Well a little bit of cryin’ used to help you get your way
But now I know that you’ve been lying, I know about the games you play 
I won’t be on my knees begging you to stay 
Because a little bit of cryin’ ain’t gonna help you out today

I’ve already blocked your number on my phone
I’m better off without you and on my own 

I won’t be on my knees begging you to stay
Because a little bit of cryin’, a little bit of crying, a little bit of cryin 
Just ain’t gonna help you out today

A Little Bit of Crying

It was a time when our dreams were so bright
And the sweet harmonies kept us dancing in the moonlight
Smokey would sing it smooth and fine
With The Miracles dancing on every line

Diana would sing about love’s desire
And the Supremes would set our souls on fire
Marvin asked us “what’s going on?”
Little Stevie would sing the sweetest songs

Berry had a vision and made it come true
Turned his dream into reality and gold too

When Motown was king, love had a sound
With the bassline steady and our hearts spellbound
When Motown was king, the whole world would sway
Oh how I wish we could bring back those Motown days

Temptations walked with a style so cool
Four Tops spinning and and harmonies ruled
Gladys and the Pips would bring a song alive
And we grooved to Michael and the Jackson Five
When Motown was king, love had a sound
With the bassline steady and our hearts spellbound
When Motown was king, the whole world would sway
Oh how I wish we could bring back those Motown days
 
When Motown was king, love had a sound
With the bassline steady and our hearts spellbound
When Motown was king, the whole world would sway
Oh how I wish we could bring back those Motown days

When Motown was king, love had a sound
With the bassline steady and our hearts spellbound
When Motown was king, the whole world would sway
Oh how I wish we could bring back those Motown days

Bring Back Those Motown Days

Heartache in the Shadows

Come inside, let me close the door, tell me what’s on your mind
I’ve seen the same sad look in your eyes before
You say he’s left you with a broken heart, that’s such a cruel thing to do
Go on and have a good cry then kiss your heartache goodbye
Cause’ I know just the one that’s right for you

Girl it's me, the one you always call
Who’d always pick you up when you would fall
And anytime you needed a hand would always come through
Who stuck beside you girl through thick and thin?
And always been there when you’ve needed a friend?
While you’re chasing a love that eludes you the one love that’s true
Lives in heartache in the shadows

So many times I wondered to myself how could you be so blind?
When a true love was already standing by, waiting for you all of this time
So here I stand with my heart in hand much too shy to say the way that I feel
Hoping someday you’d see and come running to me
And take a chance on love that’s really real

Yes it's me, the one you always call
Who’d always pick you up when you would fall
And anytime you needed a hand would has always come through
Who’s stuck beside you girl through thick and thin?
And always been there when you’ve needed a friend?
While you’re chasing a love that eludes you the one love that’s true
Lives in heartache in the shadows

Now it's late in the night and I'm driving you home
There's so much that I want to say
But my heart hits a wall and I can't speak at all
Because when I look in your eyes and the words won't come my way
 
Girl it's me, the one you always call
Who’d always pick you up when you would fall
And anytime you needed a hand would always come through
Who’s stuck beside you girl through thick and thin?
And always been there when you’ve needed a friend?
While you’re chasing a love that eludes you the one love that’s true
Lives in heartache in the shadows
