Every little bit hurts (x2)
Every night I cry
Every night I sigh
Every night I wonder why
You treat me cold
Yet you won't let me go
Every little hurt counts (x2)
You say you're coming home
Yet you never phone
Leave me all alone
My love is strong for you
I'd do wrong for you
I can't take this loneliness you've given me
I can't go on giving my life away
Bridge:
Come back to me
Darling you'll see
I can give you all the things that you wanted before
If you will stay with me
Every little bit hurts (x2)
To you, I'm a toy
& you are the boy
Who has to say when I should play
Yeah, you hurt me, desert me
(instrumental)

I'll Always Love You
(Ed Cobb)
Your kiss, your kiss, your kiss
Means more to me than anything I've ever known before
Your love, your love, your love
Is the only love I've ever known that keeps me wanting so much more
I thought there was nothing I had missed
& I thought I knew the meaning of a lover's kiss
You've turned me inside out
You've taught me what love was about
& that's why I'll always love you
Your touch, your touch, your touch
Is that velvet touch that thrills me so
How much you'll never know
When we're alone, when we're alone, when we're alone
Sometimes things that are wrong seem oh so right
Darling, please hold me tight
You've turned me inside out
You've taught me what love was about
& for this I'll always love you
(repeat title & fade)
Let that sad song play just one more time
There's nothing I could say that would help me find
The reason why I'm left behind
With no one to care, no one to share
The misery that I've brought upon myself
I'm so lonely & I'm so blue, yeah
So let that sad song play just one more time
There's nothing I could say that could ease my mind
I know I was wrong, but I wish he would come back home
I could still feel his touch, I need it so much
I'm so lonely & I'm so blue, yeah
(instrumental)
Why don't you, why don't you, why don't you, why don't you
Let that sad song play just one more time
There's nothing I could say that would ease my mind
I know I was wrong, but I wish he would come back home
I could still feel his touch, I need it so much
I'm so lonely & I'm so blue, yeah
Oh why don't you, why don't you, why don't you play that sad song one
more time

I've Been Good To You
(Smokey Robinson)
Look what you've done; you've made a fool out of someone
Who thought love was true & found out that you
Were just having fun
Oh why do you wanna make me blue?
After all, I've been good to you
Oh yes I have
For a long long time, you needed someone & I made you mine
You needed a friend, so I took you in
& I treated you kind
Oh why do you wanna make me blue?
After all, I've been good to you
I have always been around
& I have never, I've never let you down
So now you're telling me that you must go
You know that it's hurting me so, yeah
But there'll come a time, one day, one day you'll wake up & find
You'll come back to me on bended knees
You're gonna be cryin'
Oh why do you wanna make me blue?
After all, I've been good to you
I've been good to you, oh yes I have
I've been good to you, yes I have
...& fade
I'll Be Available
(Smokey Robinson)
In case you wanna ask me for a date now, any day, any time
For my answer you don't have to wait now; let me give you mine
(I'll be available) every day
(I'll be available) whenever you say
When every ship in the sea has become unsailable
You can call on me; I'll be available
You can date every girl in the town now, every girl you see
I don't mind, I'm the patient kind; when you get around to me
(I'll be available) when you're all alone
(I'll be available) just ring my phone
When you need a love that is unfailable
You can call on me; I'll be available
I don't care if you neglect me, just as long as I have my turn
& whatever I'm doing when you call me
I have to drop it, I have to stop it
You can write every girl in the whole wide world sweet love letters
When they hurt your pride & you decide you can't do no better
(I'll be available) & it's no lie
(I'll be available) I'm your old stand-by
When US Mail is no longer mailable
You can call on me; I'll be available, oh yeah
(instrumental)
Well now, when US Mail is no longer mailable
You can call on me
(I'll be available) when everyone else puts you down
(I'll be available) whenever you want me around
(I'll be available) when everyone else leaves you behind
(I'll be available) whenever you make up your mind

You've Changed Me
(Smokey Robinson)
You've changed the way I dress & the way I wear my hair
When I look in the mirror, there's a stranger standing there
CHORUS:
You've changed me, oh you've changed me & made me someone new
Now I've got to find me somebody
'Cause the new person you've made me doesn't love you
Maybe you missed another girl, so you tried to make me her
But I can't be another girl even though you wish I were
(chorus)
I've & tried, oh how I tried to be like you want me to
& as I changed, so did the love that was in my heart for you
For you, for you
I tried to make you happy, doing things just the way you showed me
You've changed so much about me till my friends, they don't even know
me
(chorus)
Oh you should have left me like I was when you met me
I could have loved you more when you should have let me
But you're gonna have to do without me
Because you've changed everything about me
...& fade
You Can Cry On My Shoulder
(Berry Gordy)
Just because you know I love you so much
Don't be afraid to tell me you're sad because you've lost her love
Though your love is not for me
I don't wanna see you in misery
So come on, baby baby come on
You can cry on my shoulder, you can cry on my shoulder
& bring all your troubles to me, to me
A man ain't supposed to cry; if you do I'll understand
& maybe I can show you how you can win her love again
It may seem strange, I know
But it's just that I love you so
Come on, baby come on
You can cry on my shoulder, you can cry on my shoulder
Now you've given her all you had
She'd better stop treating you so bad
So come on, baby baby come on
You can cry on my shoulder, yes you can
& bring all your troubles to me
(repeat title & fade)
Together Till The End Of Time
(Frank Wilson)
In a world filled with so much sorrow
Everyone is thinking of himself
So little time is spent on planning for tomorrow
& no one really seems to care
Now it's so easy to be lost in a land
Where no one wants to help you, no one tries to understand
But we'll hold hands forever
& we'll make our plans together
Till the end of time, darling
Till the end of time, my sweet darlin'
By your side I'll always be, though things be good or bad
From now until eternity, I'll do anything I can
To make you happy when you're feeling blue
Should you ever have to leave me, I'll wait for you
& we'll hold hands forever
& we'll make our plans together
Till the end of time, darling
Till the end of time, my sweet darlin'
(instrumental)
Now don't you worry
I'll make you happy when you're feeling blue
Should you ever have to leave me, I'll wait for you
& we'll hold hands forever
& we'll make our plans forever
Till the end of time, darling
Till the end of time, my sweet darlin'
(Till the end of time) we'll be side by side
(Till the end of time)

Hurt A Little Every Day
(Henry Cosby/Sylvia Moy/Mickey Stevenson)
(spoken):
How do you live with a broken heart & only a memory?
(sung):
I'm sad we parted
(spoken):
& I know what's in store for me
Hurt a little every day--that's what I'll have to do
Hurt a little every day till I can stop loving you
I'll be so upset, never will forget
The love that I shared with you
Turn & walk away, what is there to say?
Nothing more I can do
Hurt a little every day, time can heal every wound
All the pain will go away, I'll forget someday soon
Give a little smile, that should last a while
Until I stop loving you so
Maybe you can say "Let's call it a day"
But how can I let you go?
Hurt a little every day, cry a little every night
Till I stop loving you, stop loving you, oh oh
Give a little smile, that should last a while
Until I stop loving you so
Maybe you can say "Let's call it a day"
But how can I let you go?
Till I stop loving you so, oh
(repeat & fade):
Hurt a little every day, cry a little every night
Just Look What You've Done
(Frank Wilson/R. Dean Taylor)
With a tender love, you filled my lonely days
You made me need you, darlin', in so many ways
But you no longer come around very much
& lately there's no tenderness in your touch
Where did it go? That warm & tender feeling
Where did it go? The love that I believed in?
You filled my life with so much meaning
It's empty now, now that you're leaving
CHORUS:
Just look what you've done; you've turned my dreams to dust
I thought you needed me, but now I find that you're leavin' me
Oh you've turned my heart to stone
Without you by my side, where will I get the strength to carry on?
Now helplessly I stand, watchin' love walk away
There's nothin' I can do, nothin' I can say
For you our love was just a passin' thing
But to me, my darlin', it was everything
Where did it go? The love I always turned to
Where did it go? Where do I go without you?
When I needed you, you were always there
I'm nothing now without your love to share
(chorus)
(instrumental)
Where did it go? The love I always turned to
Where did it go? & where do I go without you?
When I needed you, you were always there
I'm nothing now without your love to share
(repeat chorus & fade)
