Questions vs. Statements: American English Pronunciation

Lean On Me - Michael Bolton

Lean On Me - Michael Bolton

Sometimes in our lives
We all have pain we all have sorrow
But if we are wise, we know that there's
Always tomorrow, oh yeah

Lean on me
When you're not strong I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long 'til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on

Please swallow your pride
If I have things you need to borrow
For no one can fill those of your needs
That you won't let show

You just call on me brother when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on

Lean on me
When you're not strong I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long 'til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on

You just call on me brother when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on

If there is a load that you have to bear
That you can't carry
I'm right up the road, I'll share your load
If you just call me

Call me, call me, call me
If you need a friend
Call me, call me, call me

Lean on me
When you're not strong I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long 'til I'm gonna need
Somebody, somebody to lean on


Lean on, lean on me

Otis Redding - When a man loves a woman

Otis Redding - When a man loves a woman



When a man loves a woman, can't keep his mind on nothing else
He'll trade the world for the good thing he's found
If she's bad he can't see it she can do no wrong
Turn his back on his best friend if he put her down

When a man loves a woman, spend his very last dime
Tryin' to hold on to what he needs
He'd give up all his comfort, sleep out in the rain
If she said that's the way it ought to be

Well, this man loves a woman
I gave you everything I had
Tryin' to hold on to your precious love
Baby, please don't treat me bad

When a man loves a woman, down deep in his soul
She can bring him such misery
If she plays him for a fool, he's the last one to know
Lovin' eyes don't ever see

Well, this man loves a woman
I gave you everything I had
Tryin' to hold on to your precious love
Baby, please don't treat me bad

When a man loves a woman, I know exactly how he feels
Coz baby baby baby you're my world

RAY CHARLES "I Can't Stop Loving You"

RAY CHARLES "I Can't Stop Loving You"


(I can't stop loving you)
I've made up my mind
To live in memory of the lonesome times
(I can't stop wanting you)
It's useless to say
So I'll just live my life in dreams of yesterday
(Dreams of yesterday)
Those happy hours that we once knew
Tho' long ago, they still make me blue
They say that time heals a broken heart
But time has stood still since we've been apart

(I can't stop loving you)
I've made up my mind
To live in memories of the lonesome times
(I can't stop wanting you)
It's useless to say
So I'll just live my life in dreams of yesterday
(Those happy hours)
Those happy hours
(That we once knew)
That we once knew
(Tho' long ago)
Tho' long ago
(Still make me blue)
Still ma-a-a-ake me blue
(They say that time)
They say that time
(Heals a broken heart)
Heals a broken heart
(But time has stood still)
Time has stood still
(Since we've been apart)
Since we've been apart

(I can't stop loving you)
I said I made up my mind
To live in memory of the lonesome times
(Sing a song, children)
(I can't stop wanting you)
It's useless to say
So I'll just live my life of dreams of yesterday
(Of yesterday)
