Greatest Hits lyrics

I use to sing to an empty room. I was so lonley and so out of toon. Then you came around and made my life a happy song. It's a joy to have your love. Such a joy to feel your love. Never set me free, cause darline i can't be without you without you baby. I use to go to a show all alone. I'd sit through it twice I just couldn't go home. Then you came alone and gave my life a happy song.

Hey Sister, Go Sister, Soul Sister, Go Sister
Hey Sister, Go Sister, Soul Sister, Go Sister

He met Marmalade down in Old New Orleans
Struttin' her stuff on the street
She said "Hello,
Hey Joe, you wanna give it a go?" Mmm, Mmm.

Itchi Gitchi Ya Ya Da Da
Itchi Gitchi Ya Ya Here
Mocha-choca-lata Ya Ya
Creole Lady Marmalade

Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?

I must have rehearsed my lines a thousand times,
Until I had them memorized.
But when I get up the nerve to tell you,
the words just never seem to come out right.
Chorus:
If only you knew how much I do,
do love you. If only you knew,
how much I do, I do need you.
I dream of moments we share but your not there,
I'm living in a fantasy.
Cause you don't even suspect,

Oh, People
Patti Labelle

If we are one big happy family, no one would have to beg
to eat.
If we live in a world of dignity, no man would have to
live on the street.
If I tell you you're a part of me, there's no need for
disbelief.
Here is my hand, to let you know that what we dream we
all can hold.
Apart we are weak....together we're strong.

Chorus:

I can't sit here while I go nowhere
Chase my dreams through the polluted air
Walking on a wire
Running out of time
There's some room in this ol' heart of mine

Bill collectors waiting down the hall
Papers screaming past the bedroom wall
Birds jump off the pavement
Passion hits the streets
Anger's cooking in the city heat

The world's too crazy, I can't help no more

Used to be that I believed in something,
Used to be that I believed in love,
It's been a long time since I've had that feelin',
I could love someone,
I could trust someone.
I said I'd never let nobody near my heart again, darlin',
I said I'd never let nobody in,
But, If you asked me to I just might change my mind,
And let you in my life forever,

Stir It Up
Patti LaBelle

Stir it up
Stir it up
Stir it up
Stir it up
I can't sit here while I go nowhere
Chase my dreams through the polluted air
Walking on a wire, running out of time
There's no room in this ol' heart of mine
Bill collectors waiting down the hall
Neighbors scream and crack the bedroom wall
Nerves jump off the pavement, passion hits the street
