Midnight Ride

Oh, oh, baby, come back to me
Runnin' through the city streets
Through the days and nights
Blinded by the glare of all those city lights
People movin' past you with their heads in the air
Everywhere you look, they all seem to say
Uh-huh, yeah, baby, baby
Take a midnight ride
Uh-huh, yeah, baby, baby
Take a midnight ride
People movin' all around, and you're still alone
When you're in the glass house, there's no one throwin' stone
Catch the subway, it'll take you anywhere
Ride it with a stranger, who'll only stop and stare
Uh-huh, yeah, baby, baby
Take a midnight ride
Uh-huh, yeah, baby, baby
Take a midnight ride
Oh, baby, yeah
Nothing got stupider than bein' without a friend
The world rushin' by, never comin' to an end
We'll all just be strangers and everybody screams
Is it our reality or just a dream?
Uh-huh, yeah, baby, baby
Take a midnight ride
Uh-huh, yeah, baby, baby
Take a midnight ride
Uh-huh, yeah, baby, baby
Take a midnight ride
Uh-huh, yeah, baby, baby
Take a midnight ride
Why don't you come on and come on and ride?
(Ride)

(Ride)
(Ridin')
(Ridin')

(Ridin')
(Midnight ride, midnight ride, midnight ride)
(Midnight ride)
I've got to get away, yeah, yeah
These strange faces are drivin' me crazy

Now, when it comes to love, I've never been the lucky one
I never found the right man to build my dreams upon
So many times I've been left behind
For someone who cares ain't easy to find
You know, I really don't wanna be an all time loser
(Just don't wanna be that way, yeah)
I really don't wanna be an all time loser, yeah
So I hope you try to understand why I resist
'Cause I've been in love before, and baby, each time I miss
This time things seem to be so right
'Cause I'm tired of cryin' alone at night
You know, I really don't wanna be an all time loser
(I just don't wanna be that way, yeah, baby)
I really don't wanna be an all time loser, yeah
(Losin' in love comes to us all)
(No matter how high you are, you can always fall)
(You can always fall)
Oh yeah
You make me feel so good, yeah
Maybe now I will end up safe and sound, yeah
'Cause you really stopped me to turn my head around
The door to my heart wants to let you in
I forgive the past and try to win
You know, I really don't wanna be an all time loser
(I just don't wanna be that way, yeah)
I really don't wanna be an all time loser
(I hope you understand why I resist, yeah)
I really don't wanna be an all time loser
(I hope you really understand why I resist, yeah)
I really don't wanna be an all time loser
(I just don't wanna be that way)
I really don't wanna be an all time loser
(Oh yeah)
I really don't wanna be an all time loser
(No, don't wanna be that way)
Ooh yeah
Oh my Lord
This man makes me feel so [?]
I just don't know what to do with myself
No
(Losin' in love comes to us all)
(No matter how high you are, you can always fall)
(You can always fall)
Maybe now I will end up safe and sound
'Cause you really started to turn my head around
The door to my heart wants to let you in
Now forgive the past and try to win
You know, I really don't wanna be an all time loser
(Yeah, ooh baby, baby, baby, baby, yeah)
I really don't wanna be an all time loser
([?])
I really don't wanna be an all time loser
(I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be, yeah)
I really don't wanna be an all time loser
(I just don't wanna be that way)
I really don't wanna be an all time loser

Spend a little time with me
Spend a little time with me
(Why don't you, yeah)
The night just ain't long enough
And I'm just not strong enough
To make you stay
Don't leave me this way
Spend a little time with me
Spend a little time with me
I know if you leave me now
I'll still get by somehow
If you say goodbye
You won't see me cry
Baby, baby, if you leave me now

And if you stay just one more day
All my pains will go away
Baby, baby, if you leave me now

And if you stay just one more day
All my pain will go away
Spend a little time with me

Stay here tonight and let me hold you

How you made me feel this evenin'
The way you kissed and caressed me
It's like nothin' I never felt
It reminds me of a fragrant breeze that blows
Through my soul
And I know if you leave me now
I'll still make it somehow
But if you could just stay
Oh, just tonight

You will make everything all right
Baby, baby, if you leave me now
I'll still get by somehow
But if you stay just one more day

Hey, Barbara
Before you pack your bags and walk out that door,
I wanna lay something to you, all right?
Here's soul/R&B singer Barbara Pennington singing the song, written by Ian Levine, called, "I Can't Help Being Guilty".
So you've reached a certain stage in your life
When you want someone new, hey, baby?
I did not think you could be so cruel, yeah
After all that we've been through
For me, there'd never been
Never been anyone else all this time
And if the world wants to judge me
Then that's my crime
I can't help bein' guilty of lovin' you
I can't help bein' guilty of lovin' you
(I just can't help myself, oh my love)
So seein' you actin' in this way, baby
Makes my lose my head
Is it somethin' that I did or
Is it somethin' that I said?
If your plans are to leave me now
(Leave me now)
I think you should know
(You should know)
That I could never ever
Find the strength to let you go
I can't help bein' guilty of lovin' you
I can't help bein' guilty of lovin' you
(I love you, yeah)
Every minute you're not there
Fills me with pain
So try to find it in your heart
To come on home again
I can't help bein' guilty of lovin' you
I can't help bein' guilty of lovin' you
(Oh, I love you just that way)
I can't help bein' guilty of lovin' you
I can't help bein' guilty of lovin' you
(You know I need you by my side forever)
I can't help bein' guilty of lovin' you
I can't help bein' guilty of lovin' you
(Oh, I love you)

If ever true love came my way, you were the one
It was you that my foundation of love was built upon
Although I worshiped you, boy, my feelin' won't return
And you ran away, leaving me rejected and spurned
You're just runnin' in another direction
Away from my love and affection
Each time I wanna make a connection
You keep runnin' in another direction
So tell me, why did you leave me alone in distress?
You demolished my life and you left it in a horrible mess
If you only stay, I know I could regain my sanity
But you ran away, you're so concerned with your vanity
You're just runnin' in another direction
Away from my love and affection
Each time I wanna make a connection
You keep runnin' in another direction
So, baby, please don't run from me 'cause my world's on fire
And the flames that burn keep risin' higher and higher
Don't you know my love life is directed at you?
I just need an indication that what we had isn't true
You're just runnin' in another direction
Away from my love and affection
Each time I wanna make a connection
You keep runnin' in another direction
Oh baby, please don't run from me
You keep runnin', runnin'

It is so hard gettin' over
Some people learn to express themselves
Then there are other folks who never have learned to
Let the music play a little bit louder
Play the music, play my music
Don't you know it's so hard, yeah, yeah, gettin' over
It's so hard, yeah, expressin' yourself
You know what I mean, yeah
(Hard)
Oh, yeah
(Hard)
It's just so hard, yeah, gettin' over
Some people learn to express themselves
Then there are other folks who just won't let
Let your music play a little bit louder
Play your music, play your music, oh yeah
It's just so hard, ooh yeah, gettin' over
It's so hard, yeah, expressin' yourself
(Hard)
Oh, yeah
So hard (hard), yeah, yeah, yeah
It's just so hard
(It's so hard gettin' over)
(It's so hard gettin' over)
Love is hard
(It's so hard gettin' over)
Love is hard
(It's so hard gettin' over)
It's so hard
(It's so hard gettin' over)
(It's so hard gettin' over)
It's so hard gettin' over
(It's so hard gettin' over)
I'm gettin' over
I'm gettin' over
(It's so hard gettin' over)
I'm gettin' over, yeah
In life, everybody goes through trials and tribulations
But I've come to the realization to know that
This internal force that lies within me
And each and every one of you lets me know
That all things are possible
I'm gettin' over
I'm gettin' over
(Hard, ooh)
I'm gettin' over
(It's so hard, hard gettin' over)
(Hard, ooh)
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah
(It's so hard, hard gettin' over)
(Hard, ooh)
(It's so hard, hard gettin' over)
Makin' my way through
(Hard, ooh)
(It's so hard, hard gettin' over)
(Hard, ooh)
(It's so hard, hard gettin' over)

Ian Levine and Fiachra Trench Blackpool, UK

By the 1970s, he began recruiting American soul singers like Evelyn Thomas and Hazell Dean to storm Britain's charts (and America's). ... more
