COME GET UP
Words: Gyle Waddy/Music: Emmanuël Andronikos

Hey everybody welcome to my party
come get up and do your thing.
I'll tell you one thing I know you won't be sorry
come get up and do your thing.
Just let the music make you move real loosely
come get up and do your thing.
Let's light this joint up show me baby your real stuff
come get up and do your thing.
Find somebody who's really real.
Find somebody who'll make you feel.
Find somebody who's on the deal.
Come on get up and do your thing.
You'll have no reason to complain.
You'll have no reason to be afraid.
Have no reason to run away.
Come on get up and do your thing.
If you're troubled now I know I have the cure
let my boogie touch your soul.
If you find yourself a little unsure
let my music grab a hold of your soul.
Hey everybody how do you like my party?
Come get up and do your thing.
Baby do it all night; boogie baby all right
come get up and do your thing.
Find somebody who's really real.
Find somebody who'll make you feel.
Find somebody who's on the deal.
Come on get up and do your thing.
If you're troubled now I know I have the cure
let my boogie touch your soul.
If you find yourself a little unsure
let my music grab a hold.
Don't be shy my friends for when that music rides
it will put you right in stride.
In my music I know you can confide.
It will make you lose your mind.

LUCIE
Words: Gyle Waddy/Music: Emmanuel Andronikos

(Spoken)
Ben: Hi, what's your name?
Lucie: Mum, Lucie.

(Sing)
Ben: We were just ten when she was out there 
climbing up apple tree then,
but when she fell down she just smiled
then I quickly said, "My name is Ben". 
And then I knew she'd be my girl friend 
one of these days.

Girl, you're seventeen now
your body looks so fine:
Lucie: Oh yeah?
Ben: But you have two black eyes.
She just smiled, and when she told me why I died. 
She said,
Lucie: "Because I'm still climbing apple trees, 
and if it wasn't for those apples, I wouldn't be me".

Ben: Lucie, you look so lovely.
Can't we live together and start a little family?
Lucie, baby there's just one thing.
Lucy: Hmm…
Ben: You got to stop climbing up and down 
so many apple trees.
I can't stand those black eyes.
No, you look so funny, wooh, wooh, wooh
girl you're down right ugly.
Can't stand those black eyes. No! No! No! No!
Come on sweet Lucie, wooh, wooh, wooh
stop your climbing up those trees! 

At age thirty I heard she came back home
the day she left the military.
I hadn't seen that girl in time, since that day. 
Yes, I think it's more than thirteen years.
Oh, I'd like to see how she's changed since then.
And then I think I saw her walking down the street.
How sweet. So I went up to her.
Lucy: Hi Ben.
Ben: I asked her how she stayed so fine.
Then when she smiled at me and shinned those big black eyes
I understood that she's still climbing apple trees.

Lucie, you look so lovely.
Can't we live together and start a little family?
Lucie, baby there's just one thing.
Lucy: What's that?
Ben: You got to stop climbing up and down 
so many apple trees.
I can't stand those black eyes. No! No! No! No!
No, you look so funny, wooh, wooh, wooh
girl you're down right ugly.
Can't stand those black eyes. No! No! No! No!
Come on sweet Lucie, wooh, wooh, wooh
stop your climbing up those trees. Yeah!

(Spoken)
Ben: Now listen.
Lucy: What?
Ben: Will you do something for me?
Lucie: Mum-hmm.
Ben: Now, you've stayed find since all of this time, 
but there's just one thing that blows my mind.
Lucie: What's that?
Ben: It's your black eyes!
Lucie: Oh?

(Sing)
Ben: Can't stand those black eyes! 
No! No! No! No! baby!
Come on, stop climbing up and down
those apple trees. Oh baby! 
Can't stand those black eyes! 
No! No! No! No! 
Oh, you look so damn, damn, damn, funny.
Oh no baby yeah, yeah. Come on sweet Lucie. 
Stop climbing up and down those apple trees.
Do it for me sweet thing.

I'm glad you called,
because I want to share something with you.

Late last night in my arms you laid I felt
really right, oh so nice.
The music played

Lights were low we went slow.
We made love all night
till the morning's light.
Girl, you make me fly
just like a dove on wings of love I glide.
Oh, you make me fly.
I go so high I touch the starlit sky.

Can't you see
you were meant to share and be
loving me, totally?
No, I can't see

without you, this I know.
What would my life be
if you aren't with me?

Girl, you make me fly
just like a dove on wings of love I glide.

I wish you knew how much I love you.
I wish you really knew how much I care.
There's no one else that can compare to you
I've never seen such flair you're rare.
I've had so many loves in my lifetime.
They've come from each corner of the world,
but you're the first one who's blown my mind,
and you're the first one I’ve called my girl.
Your kiss is hot like fire,
and girl, you set my soul on fire!

I'm all strung out over you.
That's why I run after you.
I'm all strung out over you,
and I can't change my attitude.
I'm all strung out over you baby!

Each time you touch me you arouse my desire
you know the way to get to me.
You send electric through my body wires
oh how you work your energy.
I'm sure you don't know how much I love you.
I'm sure you don't know how much I care
but that's all right 'cause what I feel for you
will change your mind so baby beware.
My kiss is hot like fire,
oh girl, I’ll set your soul on fire!

I'M A SLAVE
Words: Gyle Waddy/Music: Emmanuel Andronikos

I’m feeling like a funny clown
I’m turning flips and tumbling down.
I’m just like some silly hound
who follows you around
I’m on some kind of cloud, spellbound.

Don’t you get it?
You got me all hooked up. 
And I dig it!
I’m rapped up in your hugs, your love.

You see that star that twinkles high?
If you want it from the sky
I won't even have to try
just one blink of an eye
I’ll have you satisfied; that's no lie.

Don’t you get it?
You got me all hooked up.
Aand I dig it!
I’m rapped up in your hugs, 
your love.

I’m a slave for all that you do
oh baby, you rule me.
I’m a slave for your love it's true.
Wooh, yeah.
I’m a slave for all that you do
oh baby, you rule me.
I’m a slave for your love it's true.
Wooh, yeah.

I’m someone who'll stay by your side
I’ll be your strength. I’ll be your guide.
You won't need an alibi
I’ll be that special guy
I'll take you really high, make you fly.

Don’t you get it?
You got me all hooked up. 
And I dig it!
I’m rapped up in your hugs, 
your love.

I’m a slave for all that you do
oh baby, you rule me.
I’m a slave for your love it's true.
Wooh, yeah.

DON’T SAY THAT
Words: Gyle Waddy Music: Emmanuël Andronikos

Don’t say that you don’t care for me
because you’re hurting.
Don’t say that that we’re through baby.
Girl, are you certain?
Talk to me. Tell me please what’s wrong?
‘Cause we’ve been apart for too long.
Please say that you’ll backtrack to me
because I’m hurting.
Please say that you’ll come back honey.
Tell me for certain.
Talk to me. Tell me please what’s wrong?
‘Cause we’ve been apart for too long.

Let’s go out for a little drink
some place where we can stop and talk.
Chose your favorite place.
Let’s use our heads and try and think
instead of using silly talk.
Let’s rest our case.

Don’t say that you don’t care for me
because you’re hurting.
Don’t say that that we’re through baby.
Girl, are you certain?
Talk to me. Tell me please what’s wrong?
‘Cause we’ve been apart for too long.

What was it baby that I said?
I don’t remember and that’s sad.
Did I lose my head?
What made you turn away from me?
Can you remember? 
Darling please
please comfort me.

What I feel for you is so strong
help me girl to carry on this love song.
Don’t tell me your love is gone
and you can continue on alone.
Be fair with me! Help me please!

Don’t say that you don’t care for me
because you’re hurting.
Don’t say that that we’re through baby
Girl, are you certain?
Talk to me. Tell me please what’s wrong?
‘Cause we’ve been apart for too long.

DIZZY WITH THIS FEELING
Words: Gyle Waddy/Music: Emmanuel Andronikos

ALL OF THAT'S CHANGED NOW
Words: Gyle Waddy/Music: Emmanuel Andronikos

When we were just little kids
we'd play around with hide-'n-seek.
I was really timid,
now I’ve lost that streak.

Baby, all of that's changed now
that small boy has gone for sure.
Baby, if you would allow
I could come around
we could play those games
like before.

When we'd play children’s house
you would tell me I’m your man.
I would open your blouse
you would slap my hand.

Now girl all of that's changed now
that small boy has gone for sure.
Baby if you would allow
I could come around
we could play those games
just like before.

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
girl I’m ready now.
Come on let's not fool around.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 
girl I’m ready now
come on let's go get on down.

Girl, I don't want to play with you
like I did when I was ten.
Come on to my rescue.
Why not tell me when?

Because all of that's changed now
that small boy has gone for sure.
Baby if you would allow
I could come around
we could play those games
just like before.

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
girl I’m ready now.
Come one let's not fool around.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
girl I’m ready now
come on let's go get on down.

Because all of that's changed now
that small boy has gone for sure.

HARMONY
Words: Gyle Waddy/Music: Emmanuël Andronikos

There are so many problems in this world
turns me 'round and upside down.
Hate is racing people being unfair
see the frowns they're everywhere.
What has happened?
Can't you see what this has brought?
All this must end.
Where's the loving we were taught?

Now is the time to get back in harmony.
Yes, it's the time to get back in harmony.

I know you say they're just only words,
these are phrases that you've heard,
but no matter what you might say
I know love will win the day.
Oh, I’m not preaching.
I'm not saying I’m your hope.
All I’m asking
that we broaden up our scope.

Now is the time to get back in harmony.
Yes, it's the time to get back in harmony.

(Spoken)
Now, I’m not preaching. 
I’m just talking to you.
Telling you that you gotta learn 
to love your brothers,
your sisters, your mother your father,
and all those people around you
because we got to live together.

(Sing)
Now is the time to get back in harmony.
Yes, it's the time to get back in harmony.

(Spoken)
Now, 
I see all these people walking around
in the street hurting one another.
We don’t need that! 
We need to love one another!
We need to stay in harmony!
I’m talking to everyone!

(Sing)
Now is the time to get back in harmony.
Yes, it's the time to get back in harmony.

TAKE THAT
Words: Gyle Waddy Music: Emmanuel Andronikos

I wrote this little tune, 
and it's just for you.
It will last a minute,
but not two.
To give me enough time to say
how much I love you.
Babe, it's true.
Yes, 
Bah-da-bah-bah-di-da. it's true.
Take that! Take that! Take that!
If the words I said went too fast for you
I'll repeat them one more time for you.
Now listen close because 
this minute's almost through.
I love you.
Yes, it's true.
Bah-da-bah-bah-di-da.
Take that! Take that! Take that!

TEACH ME THE WAY TO FORGET
Words: Gyle Waddy/Music: Emmanuel Andronikos

Teach me the way to forget
the things that we've been through
those moments
that we both crossed together.
Then I’ll make all time stand still.
Tell me that you regret all
the love we shared, that you never cared,
and then I’ll let you leave, I will.

We've been through some hard times
that left us feeling blue,
and we had some honey too.
We gave hate, but we continued.

Teach me the way to forget
the things that we've been through
those moments
that we both crossed together.
Then I’ll make all time stand still.
Tell me that you regret all
the love we shared, that you never cared,
and then I’ll let you leave, I will.

Those mornings you held me.
Those trips we took by the sea.
The times you blamed me for your pain
even when we made love in vain.

Teach me the way to forget
the things that we've been through
those moments
that we both crossed together.
then I’ll make all time stand still.
Tell me that you regret all
The love we shared, that you never cared,
and then I’ll let you leave, I will.
