Son of a preacher man

Billy Ray was a preacher's son

And when his daddy would visit he'd come
along When they gathered around and started
talkin' That's when Billy would take me walkin'
Out through the back yard we'd go walkin'
Then he'd look into my eyes
Lord knows, to my surprise

The only one who could ever reach

me Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach
me Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was, ooh, yes he was

Bein' good isn't always easy

No matter how hard I try
When he started sweet-talkin' to me
He'd come'n tell me "Everything is all right"
He'd kiss and tell me "Everything is all right"
Can I get away again tonight?

The only one who could ever reach

me Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach
me Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was, ooh, yes he was (yes he was)

How well I remember

The look that was in his eyes
Stealin' kisses from me on the sly
Takin' time to make time
Tellin' me that he's all mine
Learnin' from each other's knowin'
Lookin' to see how much we've grown and

The only one who could ever reach

me Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach
me Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was, ooh, yes he was

Clean up woman

A clean up woman
Is a woman who
Gets all the love we girls leave behind
The reason I know
So much about her
Is because she picked up a man of mine

Chumpin' Slick
Was my ruin
'Cause I found out all I was doin’

Was makin' it easy

For the clean up woman
To get my man's love, oh, yeah
Just makin' it easy
For the clean up woman
To get my baby's love, uh-huh

I took this man's love and put it on a shelf

And like a fool, I thought I had him all to myself
When he needed love, I was out havin' fun
But I found out all I had done

Was made it easy

For the clean up woman
To get my man's love, uh-huh
Yeah, that's what I did
I made it easy
For the clean up woman
To steal my baby's love, oh, yeah

The clean up woman

Will wipe his blues away.
She'll give him plenty lovin'
24 hours a day.
The clean up woman,
She'll sweep him off his feet,
She's the one
To take him in when you dump him in the street

So take a tip,
You better get hip

To the clean up woman,

'Cause she's tough,
I mean she really cleans up

(You make me feel like) A natural woman

Lookin out on the morning rain (Ah-ooo)

I used to feel so uninspired (Ah-ooo)
And when I knew I had to face another
day (Ah-ooo)
Lord it made me feel so tired
Before the day I met you
Life was so unkind
But your love the key to my piece of mind

Cause you make me feel

You make me feel
You make me feel
Like a natural woman

When my soul was in the lost and

found You came along to claim it
I didn't know just what was wrong with me

Figli delle stelle

Come le stelle noi

Soli nella notte ci incontriamo
Come due stelle noi
Silenziosamente insieme
Ci sentiamo

Non c'è tempo di fermare

Questa corsa senza fine
Che ci sta portando via
E il vento spegnerà
Il fuoco che si accende
Quando sono in te, quando tu sei in
me

Noi siamo figli delle stelle

Figli della notte che ci gira intorno
Noi siamo figli delle stelle
Non ci fermeremo mai per niente al
mondo Noi siamo figli delle stelle
Senza storia senza età eroi di un sogno
Noi stanotte figli delle stelle
Ci incontriamo per poi perderci nel tempo

Come due stelle noi

Riflessi sulle onde scivoliamo
Come due stelle noi
Avvolti dalle ombre noi ci amiamo
Io non cerco di cambiarti
So che non potrò fermarti
Tu per la tua strada vai
Addio ragazza ciao
Io non ti scorderò
Dovunque tu sarai
Dovunque io sarò

Noi siamo figli delle stelle

Figli della notte che ci gira intorno
Noi siamo figli delle stelle
Non ci fermeremo mai per niente al
mondo Noi siamo figli delle stelle
Senza storia senza età eroi di un sogno
Noi stanotte figli delle stelle
Ci incontriamo per poi perderci nel tempo

Very superstitious, writings on the wall,

Very superstitious, ladders bout' to fall,
Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin' glass
Seven years of bad luck, the good things in your past

When you believe in things that you don't understand,

Then you suffer,
Superstition ain't the way

Very superstitious, wash your face and hands,

Rid me of the problem, do all that you can,
Keep me in a daydream, keep me goin' strong,
You don't wanna save me, sad is my song

When you believe in things that you don't understand,

Then you suffer,
Superstition ain't the way, yeh, yeh

Very superstitious, nothin' more to say,

Very superstitious, the devil's on his way,
Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin' glass,

Seen a lot of things in this old world

When I touch them, they mean nothing, girl
Oo, baby, here I am, signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours!

Oowee baby, you set my soul on fire

That's why I know you're my heart's only desire

Here I am baby

I wish

Looking back on when I

Was a little nappy headed boy
Then my only worry
Was for Christmas what would be my toy
Even though we sometimes
Would not get a thing
We were happy with the
Joy the day would bring

Sneaking out the back door

To hang out with those hoodlum friends of mine
Greeted at the back door
With boy thought I told you not to go outside
Tryin' your best to bring the
Water to your eyes
Thinkin' it might stop her
Grom woopin' your behind

I wish those days could come back once more

Why did those days ev-er have to go
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ev-er have to go
Cause I love them so

Brother says he's tellin'

'Bout you playin' doctor with that girl
Just don't tell I'll give you
Anything you want in this whole wide world
Mama gives you money for Sunday school
You trade yours for candy after church is through

Smokin' cigarettes and writing something nasty on the wall (you nasty
boy) Teacher sends you to the principal's office down the wall
You grow up and learn that kinda thing ain't right
But while you were doin'it-it sure felt outta sight

I wish those days could come back once more

Why did those days ev-er have to go
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ev-er have to go

Play that funky music

Hey, Once I was a boogie singer

playin' in a Rock and Roll Band
I never had no problems, yeah
Burnin' down one night stands

And everything around me, yeah

Got to stop to feelin' so low And I decided quickly (Yes I did)
To disco down and check out the show

Yeah, they was dancin' and singin' and movin' to the groovin'
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted
Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music white boy
Lay down the boogie and play that funky music till you die
Till you die
Oh ya, ya

I tried to understand this

I thought that they were out of their
minds How could I be so foolish (How
could I) To not see I was the one behind

So still I kept on fighting

Well, losing every step of the way
I said, I must go back there (I got to go back)
And check to see if things still the same

Yeah they was dancin' and singin' and movin' to the groovin'
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted
Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music white boy
Lay down the boogie and play that funky music till you die
Till you die, ya
Till you die

(Gonna play that electified funky music, yeah)

Solo chitarra

(Hey, wait a minute)

Now first it wasn't easy
Changin' Rock and Roll and minds
and things were getting shaky
I thought I'd have to leave it behind

But now it's so much better (it's so much better)

I'm funking out in every way
But I'll never lose that feelin' (no I won't)
Of how I learned my lesson that day

When they were dancin' and singin' and movin' to the groovin'
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted
Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music white boy
Lay down the boogie and play that funky music till you die
Till you die
Oh' till you die

They shouted play that funky music

KILLING ME SOFTLY
[LAURYN:]
Strumming my pain with his fingers,
Singing my life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song,
Killing me softly with his song,
Telling my whole life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song.

[FUGEES:]
Hi, yo yea yea.
This is wyclef refugee
El boogie up in here...
Rise well, little
While I'm on this I got my girl L one time! one time!
Hey yo L you know you got the lyrics!

I heard he sang a good song, I heard he had a style,

And so I came to see him and listen for a while.
And there he was this young boy, a stranger to my eyes

Strumming my pain with his fingers (one time),

Singing my life with his words (two times),
Killing me softly with his song,
Killing me softly with his song,
Telling my whole life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song.

I felt all flushed with fever, embarrassed by the crowd,

I felt he found my letters and read each one out loud.
I prayed that he would finish, but he just kept right on...

Strumming my pain with his fingers (one time),

Singing my life with his words (two times),
Killing me softly with his song,
Killing me softly with his song,
Telling my whole life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song

[CLEF:]
Yo L-Boogie, take it to the bridge

[LAURYN:]
Strumming my pain with his fingers (yes, he was singing),
Singing my life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song,
Killing me softly with his song,
Telling my whole life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song.

[Fading:]
Strumming my pain
Singing my life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song,
Killing me softly with his song,
