End of the Road Medley Songtext

von Gladys Knight

See they don't know nothing...
They don't know nothing...
All this stuff been warmed over and it's alright!
I'm glad their getting there!
I've been in this business for a long long time and even I didn't know where the music is going for a while, and I was saying '
When are they gonna find that magic?
When is the music gonna get back to...
Simple and basic?
Coz I wane go back to a time when the music touched your heart and your soul and your mind and your body!
I wane go back to a time when there were blue lights in the basement...
Ya'll know what I'm talking about!
I wane go back to a time when slow dancing was still in style, and when you got out on the dancefloor you touched your partner - you didn't have to look for him - No!
I wane go back to that time when the music made you feel like you wanted to fall in love, and you want to drive up to look-out mountain and still have enough mystery in it not to tel what you done when you got there!!!
I wane go back to a time when the music was...
One!
Coz a part of my life sent me to the prom with my perm skirt on...
Even if I did drive myself!
I wane go back!
I wane go find those people that made that kind of music - you know - and I just wane tell them THANK YOU!
Thank you for giving us romance and mystery!
I wane find Nat king Cole and Billy Eckstein and Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder and the four Tops and the temptations and the pimps - I wane find them!
And I wane just walk up to them and say YOU DID IT!
YOU found that magic!
I just wane...
I wane touch old Teddy Pendergrass and I wane tell him, THANK YOU for saying:
Of all the things that we've been through, you should understand me, like I understand you!
Coz babe I know the difference between right and wrong!
Ain't gonna do nothing stupid to break up our happy home!
Ahhh, don't get so excited if I come home a little late at night coz we only act like children when we argue, force and fight!
Oh oh...
If you don't know me by now, you will never never never know me, ohh!
No you won't!
Oh sing it one more time for me: If you don't know me by now, you will never never never know me...
Ohhhhoohhhhh!"
Then along came those Spinners, and Philippé said:
Sometimes a boy will come and go!
You reach for love but life won't let you know that in the end you'll still be loving him, but then his gone - Your all alone!
Ohhhhh...
I never learned to give myself!
I've been a fool!
Right now I need someone else, well well well!
Just like little blue eyes, I brought my heart here for you!
Just leave me home!
I should have gone!
It takes a fool to love...
Coz love don't love nobody!
NO-ONE! "
Ooh, I wane go back to a time when the music touched your heart and your soul and your mind and your body!
I wane go back to a time when music made ya feel like falling in love!
One day, I was driving down the express way and this song came on the radio - I had to pull over to the side and stop coz I felt like just getting out and saying OH THEY FINALLY FOUND THE MESSAGE, THE FINALLY FOUND THE MAGIC!
I wanted to tell the THANK YOU!
Thank you Boyz to Men for telling the one more time:
We belong together, and you know that Im right!
Why do you play with my heart?
Why do you play with my life?
Said we'd be forever!
Said we never would never end!
How could you love me and leave me and never say goodbye?
Oh I cant sleep at night without holding you tight - each time I try I just break down and cry!
Baby, my head - Oh I'd rather be dead - spinning around and around!
Why don't we go to the end of the road?
See, I cant let go!
It's to natural, you belong to me, I belong to you!
I know you really love me, you just don't realize!
You've never been there before - it's only your first time!
Baby I forgive you!
Baby, you'll try!
We should be happy together forever, you and I!
If you love me again like you love me before - but this time I want you to love me much more, this time instead just come to my face!
Baby why don't we go to the end of the road!
Its so natural, You belong to me, I belong to you!
Babe, I just cant let you go, Its so natural, You belong to me, I belong to you!
And I wane say that I know that!
Follow me, why don't we go tho the end of the road"
I gotta go!
I gotta go to the end of the road!
You belong to me!
I belong to you!"
I gotta go!
I gotta go!...
