The Soul Album lyrics

It's early in the morning
About a quarter till three
I'm sittin' here talkin' with my baby
Over cigarettes and coffee, now
And to tell you that
Darling i've been so satisfied
Honey since i met you
Baby since i met you, ooh

All the places that i've been around
And all the good looking girls i've met
They just don't seem to fit in
Knowing this particularly sad, yeah

1, 2, 6, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9

If you need some good loving
Just call on me, lord have mercy
If you want some good kissing, yeah
Call on me, ha, lord have mercy

No more lonely nights
You are gonna spend alone
All you gotta do is pick up your telephone and dial that
634-5789
That's my number, ho

If you need some good kissing
Call on me, ha, all you gotta do right now

Once I lived the life
of a millionaire
Spending my money
Oh I didn't care
Taking my friends out
For a mighty good time
Oh we'd drink that good gin
Champagne and wine

But oh just as soon
As my money got low
I couldn't find nobody
And I had no place to go
And if I ever get my hands
On a dollar again
I'm gonna hold on
Till the eagle wins
Cause I found out

Nobody wants you

I'm itchin'
Look like i don't know where to scratch
Come here, baby
Oh and scratch my back
Well i know you can do it, honey
So baby, let's get to it

Ooh i'm itchin'
Itchin' all over
Come on, oh you hit me there
Not so hard, scratch the back, man
Scratch it, scratch it

You know what to do
Oh you're hittin' it, baby
Scratch it, scratch it, honey, scratch it
Oh makin' me feel good

That's the sound of the men
They are working on the chain gang, huh
That's the sound of the men
They are working on the chain gang
That's the sound of the men
When they're working on the chain gang

All day long you hear them, pooh
I'm going home, just one of these ole days
Man, i'm going home to see my woman
For my love's so dear
But that means why
I gotta work right here now, huh

I don't do the things that you do
And i don't go the places that you go
And i don't say the bad things that you say

But i love you any ole way, dar
i love you any ole way, now
i love you any ole way
But i want you to say that it's true

Wherever you go darlin' i will go
When you get there honey i will be there
Just to hear the sweet words that you say
It's i love you every way, now

Gonna tell you a story
That every man ougtha know now
If you want a little lovin'
You got to start it real low, hey
Now if you just treat her right now
She'il love you tonight

Squeeze her real gently, hey
Oh just make her feel good, man
And tell her that you love her, man
Just like you know you should
'Cause if you just treat her right
She's gonna love you tonight now

I don't know what you got baby
But you're so good to me
I don't know what you're doing wrong to me baby
But you're so good to me

i've been loving you honey for a long time
And you're still good to me
I've been loving you woman 20 long years
I'll love you 20 more
'Cause i've got that will to try, huh

I remember those sweet kisses you give me last night

I've been missing you for so many days
I keep wanting you, lord, in so many ways
I can't get you off of my mind
But true love is so hard to find

I want yet another day
Ooh, i need another day
Darling, let me have another day
And i can be anything that you want me to be,
Now, now, ooh

The sweet things you used to do to me
Sometimes, well, you used to say them to me
