Otis Redding - Try A Little Tenderness

For some reason, this song got to me today....

Man, Otis Redding left us too soon.... The lyrics, the soul, the voice, the passion, the musicality....

Otis Redding - Video - Try A Little Tenderness - Live - Europe - Stax Tour 1967

And man, can that guy read a woman....

You won't regret it, no no

Some girls they don't forget it

Love is their only happiness, yeah

But it's all so easy

All you gotta do is try, try a little tenderness, yeah

All you gotta do is man, hold her where you want her

I love the lyrics to the whole song... an understanding of a woman, her needs - sung as advice to men.

Otis Redding - Try A Little Tenderness - Song Lyrics

Oh, she may be weary

Young girls they do get weary

Wearing that same old shaggy dress, yeah yeah

But when she gets weary

Try a little tenderness, yeah yeah

You know she's waiting

Just anticipating

For things that she'll never never never never possess, yeah yeah

But while she's there waiting, without them

Try a little tenderness (that's all you gotta do)

It's not just sentimental, no no no

She has her grief and care, yeah yeah yeah

But the soft words they are spoke so gentle, yeah

It makes it easier, easier to bare, yeah

You won't regret it, no no

Some girls they don't forget it

Love is their only happiness, yeah

But it's all so easy

All you gotta do is try, try a little tenderness, yeah

All you gotta do is man, hold her where you want her

Squeeze her, don't tease her, never leave her

Get to her drop drop

Just try a little tenderness, ooh yeah yeah yeah

You got to know how to love her, man, you'll be surprised, man

You've got to squeeze her, don't tease her, never leave

You've got to hold her and rub her softly

Try a little tenderness, ooh yeah yeah yeah

You've got to rub her gentle man, don't bruise her, no no

You've got to love her, squeeze her, don't tease her

Gotta drop nah nah nah drop

Try a little tenderness, yeah, watch her groove

You've gotta to know what to do, man

Take this advice

Whitney Houston - Legends Never Die

Whitney Houston - Legends Never Die 

I think Whitney Huston's music resonates with so many generations and her songs and lyrics have such powerful messages. I mean, who can forget "One Moment In Time", "When You Believe" or "I'll Always Love You"?

Just like when Michael Jackson passed, so many people commented on the negative. Of course we all knew she struggled with addiction and her career wasn't what it used to be when she died, but can't we just remember her beautiful music, her amazing talents and her incredible voice?

I know I will always love her music and every time I hear a Whitney Huston song I will turn it up and sing along....

Rest in Peace Whitney Huston - I will always love you....


P.S. Thanks Tatiana for sharing this pic of Whitney Huston with me.... she is an angel. <3

Lyrics

[Eric Benet]
Ooh...ooh
Umm...ooh
La...la...la
Ooh...yeah

[Eric Benet]
I never knew such a day could come
And i never knew such a love could be inside of one
And i never knew what my life was for
But now that you're here I know for sure

[Tamia]
I never knew til i looked in your eyes {oh baby}
I was incomplete til the day you walked into my life {umm...hmm}
And i never knew that my heart could feel so precious and pure
One love so real, real

[Eric Benet]
Can i just see you every morning when (every morning, babe)
I open my eyes
Can i just feel your heart beating beside me every night (every day)
Can we just feel this way together til the end of all time
(Can i just spend my life) Can i just spend my life with you {umm...hmm}

[Eric Benet]
Now baby the days and the weeks and the years will roll by
But nothing will change the love inside of you and i

[Tamia]
And baby I'll never find any words that could explain
Just how much my heart, my life, my soul you've changed

[Tamia]
Can you run to these open arms when no one else understands
Can we tell God and the whole world i'm your woman and you're my man
Can you just feel how much i love you with one touch of my hand
Can i just spend my life with you

[Eric Benet]
No touch has ever felt so wonderful (you are incredible)

[Tamia]
Not a deeper love I've ever known {never let you go}

[Eric Benet & Tamia]
I swear this love is true [now and forever to you, to you...oh...oh] [tone
change]

[Eric Benet & Tamia]
Can i just see you every morning when i open my eyes
Can i just feel your heart beating beside me every night
Can we just feel this way together til the end of all time
Can I just spend my life with you
Can you run to these open arms when no one else understands
Can we tell God and the whole world
{You're my woman} and (you're my man)
Can you just feel how much i love you with one touch of my hand
Can I just spend my life with you

Can I just spend my life with you
Can I just spend my life with you [forever here with you]
Can I just spend my life with you

[Tamia] Can I just see you every morning when i open my eyes
[Eric Benet & Tamia] Oooh....oooh

Video of I've Been Loving You Too Long - Marc Broussard




Lyrics to I've Been Loving You Too Long 


I've been loving you too long to stop now

You are tired and you want to be free
My love is growing stronger, as you become a habit to me
Oh I've been loving you a little too long
I don't wanna stop now, oh
With you my life,
Has been so wonderful
I can't stop now

There were times and your love is growing cold
My love is growing stronger as our affair grows old
I've been loving you a little too long, long,
I don't want to stop now
oh, oh, oh
I've been loving you a little bit too long
I don't wanna stop now
No, no, no

Don't make me stop now
No baby
I'm down on my knees Please, don't make me stop now
I love you, I love you,
I love you with all of my heart
And I can't stop now
Don't make me stop now
Please, please don't make me stop now
Good God almighty I love you
I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you
I love you in so many different ways...
I love you in so many different ways....

Strong Enough - Sheryl Crow

 Are you strong enough to be my man?

God, I feel like hell tonight....




Strong Enough - Sheryl Crow

God I feel like hell tonight
The tears of rage I cannot fight
I'd be the last to help you understand

Are you strong enough to be my man
My man

Nothing's true, and nothing's right
So let me be alone tonight
'Cause you can't change the way I am

Are you strong enough to be my man

Lie to me, I promise I'll believe
Lie to me, but please don't leave

I have a face I cannot show
I make the rules up as I go
Just try and love me if you can

Are you strong enough to be my man
Are you strong enough to be my man
Are you strong enough
My man

When I've shown you
That I just don't care
When I'm throwing punches in the air
When I'm broken down and I can't stand

Would you be man enough to be my man

Lie to me, I promise I'll believe
Lie to me, but please don't leave

It Kills Me - Melanie Fiona

 Because you are killing me softly.



It Kills Me Lyrics

Oh yaahh I've got trouble with my friends
Trouble in my life
Problems when you don’t come home at night
But when you do you always start a fight
But I cant be alone , I need you to come on home
I know you messing around, but who the hell else is gonna hold me down
Ooooh I gotta be out my mind to think it’s gonna work this time
A part of me wants to leave, but the other side still believes
And it kills me to know how much I really love you
So much I wanna ooh hoo ohh to you hoo hoo
Should I grab his cell, call this chic up
Start some shhhh then hang up
Or should I be a lady
Oohh maybe cause I wanna have his babies
Ohh yah yahh cause I don’t wanna be alone
I don't need to be on my own
But I love this man
But some things I just can't stand ohhhh
Ive gotta be out my mind
To think its gonna work this time
A part of me wants to leave but the other half still believes
and it kills me to know how much I really love you
So much I wanna oohh hoo ohhh, to you hoo hooo Should I pay him back to see how he'll react ,to see if he'll React to my love, my love
Oohh I've gotta be out my mind
To think it's gonna work this time Oohh a part of me wants to leave but the other half still believes
and it kills me to know how much I really love you so much I wanna oohh hoo to you hoo hoo
