Higher Love
oh, oh, oh bring higher love, love
oh, oh, oh bring higher love, love
oh, oh, oh bring higher love, love
oh, oh, oh
Think about it, there must be higher love
Down in the heart or hidden in the stars above
Without it, life is wasted time
Look inside your heart, I'll look inside mine
Things look so bad everywhere
In this whole world, what is fair?
We walk the line and try to see
Falling behind in what could be
chorus:
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love (oh oh)
Bring me a higher love
Where's that higher love I keep thinking of?
oh, oh, oh bring higher love, love
oh, oh, oh bring higher love, love
oh, oh, oh bring higher love, love
oh, oh, oh
sops: Worlds are turning and we're just hanging on
Facing our fear and standing out there alone
A yearning, and it's real to me
There must be someone who's feeling for me
Altos / tenors: oo oo oo etc
Feeling for me
Things look so bad everywhere
In this whole world, what is fair?
We walk the line and try to see
Falling behind in what could be
(sops: oh oh)
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love (oh oh)
Bring me a higher love
Where's that higher love I keep thinking of?
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love (oh oh)
Bring be a higher love
I could rise above on a higher love
I will wait
for it
I'm not
too late for it
Until then,
I'll sing my song
To cheer
the night along
Ooooh oh!
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love (oh oh)
Bring me a higher love
Where's that higher love I keep thinking of?
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love (oh oh)
Bring be a higher love
I could rise above on a higher love
oh, oh, oh bring higher love, love
oh, oh, oh bring higher love, love
oh, oh, oh bring higher love
I could rise above on a higher love!

I Found Lovin’ at the Bus Stop!
It’s like,
It’s like
It’s like
It's like sugar, so sweet
Good enough to eat
When I feel the funk, I give in
Get upon yo' feet
It’s like sugar, like sugar, like sugar, like sugar
It’s like sugar, like sugar, like sugar, like sugar
It’s like sugar, like sugar, like sugar, like sugar
It’s like sugar, like sugar, like sugar!
Why with the state that I'm in
Everybody here is dancing
All I wanna do is get ya
Body next to mine,
Baby won't you stand up to me
Come around and make a move
Maybe teach ya something like this
Funky, funky groove
It's like sugar, so sweet
Good enough to eat
When I feel the funk, I give in
Get upon yo' feet
Bus Stop, Bus Stop
Are you ready! To do the bus stop
Bus stop, Bus stop
Form a line to the front
Form a line to the back
Are you ready! To do the bus stop
Four to the front
four to the back
Front back front back
Bus Stop, Bus Stop
People are you ready! To do the bus stop
Ah!
ah! I found some lovin’
I search for love before
For a love that I thought I couldn't find
I searched day in and day out
For a love that’s mine all mine
I played around with love before
I was silly and you know that I played the fool
But then you came and took my life and you changed it
Cause I know what I want and where it's at
I found lovin'
Since I found you
I'm in love with you
I found lovin'
Since I found you
I'm in love with you
I found lovin’
Oooh
Yeah! Ooh I found love
Yeah! Ooh I found love
I found some lovin’
I found some lovin’
I found some lovin’
I found some lovin’
I found lovin'
Since I found you

Ashé mo re, ashé mo re, Ashé mo re, ashé mo re
Zippin' up my boots
Goin' back to my roots, yeah To the place of my birth Back down to earth X2
I'm standing in the rain
Drenched and soaked with pain Tired of short time benefits
And being exposed to the elements
I'm homeward bound
Got my head turned around
Back to my roots, Back to my roots, Ooh, ah
Zippin' up my boots
Goin' back to my roots, yeah To the place of my birth Back down to earth
Ain't talkin' 'bout the roots in the land Talkin' 'bout the roots in the man
I feel my spirit's gettin' old
It's time to recharge my soul
I'm homeward bound
Got my head turned around
You light my fire
I feel alive with you, baby You blow my mind
I'm satisfied
You light my fire (parts split)
I feel alive with you, baby You blow my mind
I'm satisfied

TOO GOOD AT GOODBYES
V1
You must think that I'm stupid
You must think that I'm a fool
You must think that I'm new to this
But I have seen this all before
I'm never gonna let you close to me
Even though you mean the most to me
'Cause every time I open up, it hurts
So I'm never gonna get too close to you
Even when I mean the most to you
In case you go and leave me in the dirt
But every time you hurt me, the less that I cry
And every time you leave me, the quicker these tears dry
And every time you walk out, the less I love you
Baby, we don't stand a chance, it's sad but it's true
I'm way too good at goodbyes
(I'm way too good at goodbyes)
I'm way too good at goodbyes
(I'm way too good at goodbyes)
V2
(tenors) I know you're thinking I'm heartless
(altos) I know you're thinking I'm cold
(sops)I’m just protecting my innocence
I'm just protecting my soul
I'm never gonna let you close to me (oooh close to me)
Even though you mean the most to me (oooh most to me)
'Cause every time I open up, it hurts
So I'm never gonna get too close to you (ooh close to you)
Even when I mean the most to you (oooh close to you)
In case you go and leave me in the dirt
But every time you hurt me, the less that I cry
And every time you leave me, the quicker these tears dry
And every time you walk out, the less I love you
Baby, we don't stand a chance, it's sad but it's true
I'm way to good at goodbyes
(I'm way to good at goodbyes)
I'm way too good at goodbyes
(I'm way too good at goodbyes)
No way that you'll see me cry
(No way that you'll see me cry)
I'm way too good at goodbyes
(I'm way too good at goodbyes)
I'm way to good
at goodbyes
I'm way too good

No way that you'll
see me cry
I'm way too good
But every time you hurt me, the less that I cry
And every time you leave me, the quicker these tears dry
And every time you walk out, the less I love you
Baby, we don't stand a chance, it's sad but it's true
I'm way to good at goodbyes

Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words

Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Solo:
I heard he sang a good song, I heard he had a style
And so I came to see him, to listen for a while
And there he was, this young boy,
All: a stranger to my eyes
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Wooah
La la la
Woah

Woah

I wrote these words (I wrote these words) for everyone who struggles in their youth (youth)
Who won't accept deception (deception), instead of what is truth (truth)
It seems we lose the game
Before we even start to play
Who made these rules? (Who made these rules?)
We're so confused (We're so confused)
Easily led astray
Let me tell ya that
Everything is everything
Everything is everything
After winter, (after winter) must come spring (must come spring)
Everything is everything
La la la la
