JAMES EARLY
Thirteen years of solid gold platters
Rising cost and cocktail chatter
Fat deejays, stereophonic sound
The game of hits goes 'round and around
But you can fake your way to the top

CURTIS
'Round and around,
Try that part baby

LORRELL
'Round and around!

JAMES EARLY
Fake your way to the top

DEENA
'Round and around!

CURTIS (Spoken)
You fit right in there sweetheart!

JAMES EARLY

What about what I need?
Curtis says its the best thing for the group.
What about whats best for me?
He feels the Dreams can crossover.
What about how I feel?
But when we're famous I'll write great things for ya, Effie do it for me.
What about me? What about me?

It's more than you, it is more than me
No matter what we are, we are a family
This dream is for all of us, this one can be real,

Look at me.
Look at me.

I am changing, trying every way I can.
I am changing, Ill be better than I am.
Im trying to find a way to understand
But I need, I need you, I need a hand.
I am changing, seeing everything so clear.
I am changing, Im gonna start right now right here.
Im hoping to work it out, and I know that I can
But I need you, I need a hand.

All of my life, Ive been a fool,

(C.C.)
Effie, Curtis was supposed to
(Effie)
Love me! Curtis was supposed to love me!
(Curtis)
There you are, Effie. Ive been looking all over.
(Effie)
I turn my back and find myself out on the line.
You could have warned me but that would have been too kind.
(Curtis)
Ive been warning you for months to clean up your act.
Youve be late, youve been mean, giving all kinds of bullshit flack.

Never met a man
Quite like you
Doing all you can
Making my dreams come true

Youre strong and youre smart
Youve taken my heart
And Ill give you the rest of me too

Youre the perfect man for me
I love you I do

Mm I love ya

Ive never ever felt
Quite like this
Good about myself
From my very first kiss
Im here when you call
Youve got it all
And confidence like I never knew

You want all my love and my devotion
You want my loving soul right on the line
I have no doubt that I could love you forever
The only trouble is, you really don't have the time
You've got one night only, one night only
That's all you have to spare
One night only, let's not pretend to care
One night only, one night only
Come on big baby come on
One night only, we only have 'til dawn
