* commodres, midnight magic, 1979.

코모도스 최고의 걸작 1979년의 <미드나이트 매직>을 들으면

라이오넬 리치가 가히 얼마나 뛰어난 작곡가, 더 하여 작사가인가를 알 수 있다.

about the things you're gonna say lord
i gave all my money, and my time
i know it's a shame
but i'm givin you back your name
yeah, yeah.

i won't be back to stay
i guess i'll move along
i'm lookin for a good time.


sail on down the line,
ain't it funny how time can gon on-a
friends say they told me so,
but it doesn't matter.
it was plain to see that a small town boy like me
just-a wasn't your cup of tea,
it was wishful thinkin.
i gave you my heart and i tried to make you happy,
and you gave me nothin in return.
you know, it ain't so hard to say,
would you please just go away.
yeah, yeah.
i've thrown away the blue
i'm tired of being used,
i want everyone to know
i'm lookin for a good time.
good time, yeah.


i gave you my heart and i tried to make you happy,
and you gave me nothin in return.
you know, it ain't so hard to say,
would you please just go away.
yeah, yeah.
got nothin else to lose,
i'm tired of being used,
i want everyone to know
i'm lookin for a good time,
good time, yeah.
whoa oh,


sail on, honey
good times never felt so good.
sail on sugar,
good times never felt so goo.
sail on.

COMMODORES - STILL           

 

* still


lady, morning's just a moment away
and i'm without you once again
you laughed at me
you said you didn't needed me
i wonder if you need me now



* so many dreams that flew away
so many words we didn't say
two people lost in a storm
where did we go?
where'd we go?


we lost what we both had found
you know we let each other down
but then most of all
i do love you
still!

* chorus


we played the games that people play
we made our mistakes along the way
somehow i know deep in my heart
you needed me
'cause i needed you so desperatly!
we were too blind to see
but then most of all
i do love you
still!

Commodores - Easy    

 

know it sounds funny but i just can't stand the pain
girl, i'm leaving you tomorrow
seems to me girl you know i've done all i can
you see i begged, stole and i borrowed ... yeah ooh

ooh, that's why i'm easy
i'm easy like sunday morning
that's why i'm easy
i'm easy like sunday morning

why in the world would anybody put chains on me?
i've paid my dues to make it
everybody wants me to be what they want me to be
and i'm not happy when i try to fake it yeah

i wanna be high so high
i wanna be free to know the things i do are right
i wanna be free just me oh baby uh

 

 

       

* three times a lady



thanks for the times that you've given me
the memories are all in my mind
and now that we've come to the end of our rainbow
there's something i must say out loud

you're once, twice, three times a lady
and i love you...
yes, you're once, twice, three times a lady
and i love you... i love you...

when we are together the moments i cherish
with every beat of my heart
to touch you, to hold you
to feel you, to need you
there's nothing to keep us apart

you're once, twice, three times a lady
and i love you... i love you...
