#6 Ain’t No Mountain High Enough (Diana Ross) πŸ‘πŸΌ

Lyrics:
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 worryπŸͺ„
No wind, (no wind)
No rain, (no rain)
Nor winter’s cold
Can stop me, babe
(Oh, babe) baby (baby)
If you’re my goalπŸͺ„
No wind, (no wind)
No rain, (no rain)
Can stop me, babe
If you wanna goπŸͺ„
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 meπŸͺ„
And if you should miss my lovin
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 freeπŸͺ„
Ain’t no mountain high enough
Ain’t no valley low enough
Ain’t no river wild enough
To keep me from youπŸͺ„
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 youπŸͺ„
Ain’t no mountain high enough
Nothing can keep me
Keep me from youπŸͺ„
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 youπŸͺ„
Ain’t no mountain high enough
Nothing can keep me
To keep me from you

#88 I Heard It Through The Grapevine (Marvin Gaye) πŸ‘πŸΌ

Lyrics:
Ooh, I bet you’re wonderin’ how I knew
‘Bout your plans to make me blue
With some other guy you knew before
Between the two of us guys
You know I love you more
It took me by surprise, I must say
When I found out yesterday
Don’t you know that I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Oh, I heard it through the grapevine
Oh, I’m just about to lose my mindπŸͺ„
Honey, honey, yeah
(Heard it through the grapevine)
(Not much longer would you be mine, baby)πŸͺ„
I know a man ain’t supposed to cry
But these tears, I can’t hold inside
Losin’ you would end my life, you see
‘Cause you mean that much to me
You could have told me yourself
That you loved someone else, insteadπŸͺ„
I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Oh, I heard it through the grapevine
And I’m just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey, well
(Heard it through the grapevine)
(Not much longer would you be mine, baby)πŸͺ„
People say, “Believe half of what you see
Son, and none of what you hear”
But I can’t help but be confused
If it’s true, please, tell me, dear
Do you plan to let me go
For the other guy you loved before?πŸͺ„
Don’t you know I heard it through the grapevine?
Not much longer would you be mine
Baby, I heard it through the grapevine
Ooh, I’m just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey, yeah
(Heard it through the grapevine)
(Not much longer would you be mine, baby, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)πŸͺ„
Honey, honey, I know (heard it through the grapevine)
(Not much longer would you be mine, baby)
That you’re letting me go (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Said, I heard it through the grapevine (heard it through the grapevine)
(Not much longer would you be mine, baby)
Ooh, heard it through the grapevine (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

#57 Runaway Child, Running Wild (The Temptations) πŸ‘πŸΌ

Lyrics:
You played hookie from school and you can’t go out to play, yeah
Mama said, for the rest of the week, in your room you gotta stay, yeah
Oh ho, now you feel like the whole world’s pickin’ on you
But deep down inside, you know it ain’t true
You’re in punishment
‘Cause your mother wants to raise you in the right way, yeah
But you don’t care
‘Cause you already made up your mind you wanna run away yeah
You’re on your way, runaway child, running wild
Runaway child running wild
Better go back home where you belong
Roaming through the city going nowhere fast, you’re on your own at last
Hey, it’s gettin’ late, where will you sleep?
You’re gettin’ kinda hungry, you forgot to bring something to eat
Oh, lost with no money you start to cry
But remember, you left home wantin’ to be grown, so dry your weeping eyes
Sirens screamin’ down neon lighted streets
You want your mama
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
Are they looking for you?
You’re frightened and confused
I want my mama
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run
But she’s much too far away, she can’t hear a word you say
You’ve heard some frightening news on the radio
About little boys running away from home
And the parents don’t see them no more
You wanna stop to hitch a ride, I know
But your mama told you never trust a stranger
And you don’t know which way to go
Streets are dark and deserted, not a sound nor sign of life
Oh how you long to hear your mother’s voice, ’cause you’re lost and alone
But remember, you made the choice, runaway child, running wild
You better go back home where you belong
He he he, oh, runaway child, running wild
You better go back home where you belong
You’re lost in this great big city
Go back home where you belong
Not one familiar face, ain’t it a pity
Go back home where you belong
Oh, runaway child running wild
You better go back home where you belong
Oh yeah, my girl
Mama, mama, please, come and sit here by me
Oh but she’s much too far away, she can’t hear a word you say
Oh, you’re frightened and confused, which way will you choose

#54 Traces (Classics IV) πŸ‘πŸΌ

Lyrics:
Faded photograph
Covered now with lines and creases
Tickets torn in half
Memories in bits and piecesπŸͺ„
Traces of love long ago
That didn’t work out right
Traces of loveπŸͺ„
Ribbons from her hair
Souvenirs of days together
The ring she used to wear
Pages from an old love letterπŸͺ„
Traces of love long ago
That didn’t work out right
Traces of love with me tonightπŸͺ„
I close my eyes and say a prayer
That in her heart she’ll find
A trace of love still there
Somewhere, oh, ohπŸͺ„
Traces of hope in the night
That she’ll come back and dry
These traces of tears from my eyes
Oh, yeah

Lyrics:
… Never gonna give you up
No matter how you treat me
Never gonna give you up
So don’t you think of leavin’πŸͺ„
… Girl, you treat me bad and I know why
Yeah, I’ve seen you runnin’ around with another guy
And you think if you hurt me that I’ll go away
Made it up in my mind that I’m here to stayπŸͺ„
… So tell him
(Never gonna give you up)
Whisper in his ear
(No matter how you treat me)
You tell him that Jerry said he’ll never let you go (never gonna give you up)
(So don’t you think of leavin’)
Hey, don’t you understand
What you’re doing to the man?πŸͺ„
… Do you see these tears here in my eyes?
Ain’t no use in me lyin’ ’cause I really cried
You think you’re gonna take me and put me on the shelf
Girl, I’d rather die than see you with somebody elseπŸͺ„
… So throw it out of your mind (never gonna give you up)
I’ll never leave you (no matter how you treat me, never gonna give you up)
Though you grieve me and deceive me, yeah (so don’t you think of leavin’)
Hey, don’t you understand
What you’re doing to the man?πŸͺ„
… My friends all say that I’m your fool
And you’re using me like a carpenter uses a tool
And I know their intentions are all very good
Some of them would help me if they couldπŸͺ„
… But I’m never gonna give you up
Never, never, never, never let you go
(No matter how you treat me)
No matter what you say (never gonna give you up)
(So don’t you think of leavin’)
Baby, don’t you understand
That you’re killing this man?πŸͺ„
… never gonna give you up
(No matter how you treat me) no matter what you do to me, baby now
(So don’t you think of leavin’) one of these days
I’ll be always standing around the door (never gonna give you up)
(No matter how you treat me)
Even though you say that you don’t love me no more (never gonna give you up)
