LEELA JAMES: NO TEARS AND 6 MORE




1. WHEN YOU LOVE SOMEBODY



What is a woman
To do with a man
Who treats her unkindly
When she's down, all she can

I cried so many nights
How we fuss and fight
The make ups and the break ups
I loved you and only you
The things you do

When you love somebody
When you love somebody
(things you do, ooh)

I gave you my lovin'
With no questions asked
Tears on my pillow
From all your disrespect

I didn't¡¦t care about your past
I only wanted to make us last
And oooohhh
I loved you and only you
The things you do

When you love somebody
Oh love, yeah, um
When you love somebody
I loved you baby
Nooo
When you love somebody
When you love somebody
The things you do
For love
Ooh
The things that you do yeah

Who knows what tomorrow may bring me
All I know is it is what it is
And why, do I look for clues, y'all?
When I don't have to question you

When you love somebody
When you love somebody
Y¡¦all hear me
The things you do x 4
All in the name of love
(when you love somebody)
(oh you make me wanna...)
All in the name of love
In the name of love
All the things you do for love
(somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody)
Love love love x 2
It¡¦s in the name of love
The things you do for love
Love, love, love
(y'all hear me when I sing it to you...
Love somebody, love somebody, love somebody)

2. TELL ME YOU LOVE ME




I unpacked my chest for you
Do everything that you want me to
Can't believe I gave you all my love
What in the world was I thinkin' of?

I just let it all slip away
With every minute, hour of the day
And if it really meant to be, just share with me
Why do I still feel incomplete?

Tell me, yeah
I need to know, baby
I got to know
Tell me, yeah
Tell me that you love me

If I give you what you need
Would you do the same thing for me?
'Cause I don't want to be alone
I want you here all night long

'Cause when you leave me, baby
I'm thinkin' about you always
I'm ashamed to say
How much I want you to stay

Baby, tell me, yeah
I need to know
Say it now
I got to know
Tell me that you love me

Now you see
I'm not tryin' to make a big fuss over this
But I'm just sayin', you need to let me know how you feel sometimes
Say it, it's not wrong, expressing yourself?
That's what wo- women like that, you know what I'm sayin'?
You know, you got to tap into your romantic side
Shoot, return the love, baby, return the love

I need to know, I want to know
I need to know, I want to know
I need to know, I want to know

I need to know, yeah baby
I got to know, oh, tell me
Tell me that you love me, love me, love me, love me
That you love me, love me, love me, love me


I unpacked my chest for you
Do everything that you want me to
Can't believe I gave you all my love

3. IT'S ALRIGHT


Hmmm, dear... naw,
To whom it may concern

I guess this is my reward
For giving him all my love
With holding nothing yeah
Nothing could quantify
The feelings I had in side
Still he took me for granted

Don't worry about nothing, don't, don't worry bout nothing
It's all for the good
It's better this way
(To whom it may concern) well
It's alright It's alright
Coz I tried and I tried
It's alright It's alright
And I cried and I cried
It's alright It's alright
But it's alright now (But it's alright now)
It's alright It's alright
(said it's alright)

I thought he was infallible
Perfect in every way
King to to my kingdom
I put him on a pedestal
Never thinking he'd hurt me this way
(How could you hurt me this way?)

Don't worry about nothing, Don't, Don't worry bout nothing
It's all for the good
It's better this way
(To whom it may concern)
It's alright It's alright
Coz I tried and I tried
It's alright It's alright
And I cried and I cried
It's alright It's alright
But it's alright
It's alright (But it's alright now) It's alright
(To whom it may concern)
It's alright
Coz I tried and I tried
And I cried and I cried
It's alright It's alright
I, Still it's alright now, yeah
Don't worry about nothing, Don't, Don't worry bout nothing
It's all for the good
It's better this way

Boy you know I loved you boy I loved you boy
And Boy you know you hurt me, you hurt me, you hurt me boy
But in time, I heal
And I want you to know, I
I said I love you boy

And you didn't have to hurt me so bad
I said I love you boy
It's alright
Don't worry about nothing, Don't, Don't worry bout nothing (Don't worry about me)
It's all for the good
It's better this way

Coz I'm alright
(I'll be alright)
It's alright It's alright (Oh, it's alright)
It's alright It's alright
I tried (I'll be alright)
It's alright It's alright
And I cried
It's alright It's alright
And, I tried
And you didn't have to hurt me so bad
I tried (I'll be alright I'll be alright)
And you didn't have to hurt me so bad
(I'll be alright I'll be alright)

4. NO TEARS


Verse 1:
Had things on my mind
I tried to get by
Things ain't goin right
Workin day and night
Gon' keep on moving on
Cause a new day gon’ come
Gotta hold on
Cause it won't be very long

Chorus:
We'll be alright (in the morning) no tears to dry (struggle comin)
Hold your head high (I know) ooh bye and bye (it won't be long)
We'll be alright (in the morning) no tears to dry (struggle comin)
Hold your head high (I know) ooh bye and bye (early morning)

Verse 2:
Feels like {?}
You know that's a crime
Too much on my side
Somebody tell me why
Well my brother stay strong
Sister hold on
Cause a new day gon' come
And it won't be very long

Pre-chorus:
Won't be very long
It won't be very long
It won't be very long
It won't be very long

Chorus (2x)

Bridge:
It won't be long, no
I said it won't be long
So don't you worry
Don't worry, worry
Cause struggle don't last always
No no no no
Joy come in the morning

Chorus (2x)

5. MUSIC


(Verse 1)
Somebody play on the guitar stings
Makes me think of my favorite songs
Reminds me of when I heard Aretha sang
Gladys, Steven, and Chaka Khan
Canât go back to yesterday
Can we just put the flouts away

(Bridge)
And fall back in love with music
Nothinâ but the music
Oh

Everybody knows that Marvinâs gone
Still I gotta tell you whatâs going on
Said the musicâs gone

(Chorus)
Whereâd the song go?
Itâs all about the video
We donât sang no moâ
Whereâs the music gone?

Whereâd the music go?
It's all just for the dough
It ainât songs no moâ
Where's the music gone?

(Verse 2)
Still hear Donny playinâ them keys
Sanginâ one day weâll all be free
Canât even turn on my radio
Somebody hollerinâ bout a bitch or a hoe

(Bridge)
Right now Iâm missing music
Black folks count on music

6. MY JOY


This song right here's ta
That, that, that, that person
I ain't gone even mention his name
That said I couldn't do nothing without him, um

Who are you to tell me
That I can't go on without
And why you telling me
I'm never gone survive
Um, but once upon a time
Yes, I believed that lie
But sorry no way no how
You can't control my mind
Cause if I thought you were
The end all and my be all
I would've never left you alone
And I wouldn't be on my own
And I never, never, would've grown
Chorus 2x
Nawl, nawl, nawl
Ain't no way
You gone take away
My Joy, my peace, my strength
Thank you for the times
Of all the pain you gave me
[]The hate you showed to me
Taught me how to love myself
It's funny how you tried
To break down my pride
And my spirit, y'all
It doesn't it even matter now
Cause I done moved on with my life
Cause if I thought you were
The end all and my be all
I would've never left you alone
And I wouldn't be on my own
And I never would've wrote this song
Chorus 2x
Nawl, ain't no way!
I'm telling you
Cause if I thought you
Were the end all and my be all
I would've never left you alone
And I wouldn't be on my own
And I never would've found faith
I never would've loved again
Ad-lib

7. DON'T SPEAK



You and me
We used to be together
Everyday together always
I really feel
Like I'm losing my best friend
I can't believe
This could be the end

It looks as though you're letting go
And if it's real
Well I don't want to know

Don't Speak
I know what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me cause it hurts
Don't speak
I know what you're thinking
I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me cause it hurts

(oohw owh…)

Our memories
They can be inviting
Sometimes

As we die, both you and I
With my head in my hands
I start to cry

Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me cause it hurts
Don't speak
I know what you're thinking
I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me cause it hurts
It's all ending
Let's stop pretending who we are (2x)

You and me
We used to be together
Everyday together always
I really feel
Like I'm losing my best friend
I can't believe
This could be the end

Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me cause it hurts (no, no, no)
Don't speak
I know what you're thinking
I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me cause it hurts
Don't tell me cause it hurts!
I know what you're saying
So please stop explaining

Don't speak,
don't speak,
don't speak,
oh I know what you're thinking
And I don't need your reasons
I know you're good,
I know you're good,
I know you're real good
Oh, la la la la la la La la la la la la
Don't, Don't, uh-huh Hush, hush darlin'
Hush, hush darlin' Hush, hush
don't tell me tell me cause it hurts
Hush, hush darlin' Hush, hush darlin'
Hush, hush don't tell me tell me cause it hurts
