All lyrics by Bernard Edwards & Nile Rodgers of the CHIC organization Ltd. - C'est CHIC 1978 |
I WANT YOUR LOVE |
LE FREAK |
HAPPY MAN |
- (*) I want your love, I want your love
- I want your love, I want your love
-
- Do you feel like you ever want
- To try my love and see how well it fits
- Baby can't you see when you look at me
- I can't kick this feeling when it hits
- All alone in my bed at night
- I grab my pillow and squeeze it tight
- I think of you and I dream of you
- All the time, what am I gonna do
-
- (* repeat 2 times)
-
- Sometime don't you feel
- Like you never ever had a love that's real
- Well here I am and who's to say
- A better love you won't find today
- Just one chance and I will show you love
- Like no other, two steps above
- On your ladder, I'll be a peg
- I want your lovin', please don't make me beg
-
- (* repeat 4 times)
-
- I want your love, I need your love
- I'll share my dreams and make you see
- How really bad your love I need
- I want your love, I need your love
- Just like the birds need sky above
- I'll share my dreams and make you see
- How really bad your love I need
-
- (* repeat and fade)

- (*) Ah freak out, le freak, c'est CHIC
- Freak out
-
- (* repeat 3 times)
-
- Have you heard
- About the new dance craze
- Listen to us
- I'm sure you'll be amazed
- Big fun to be had by everyone
- It's up to you, it surely can be done
- Young and old are doin' it, I'm told
- Just one try and you too will be sold
- It's called le freak
- They're doin' it night and day
- Allow us, we'll show you the way
-
- (* repeat 4 times)
-
- (**) All that pressure got you down
- Has your head spinnin' all around
- Feel the rhythm, chant the rhyme
- Come on along and have a real good time
- Like the days of ol' stomping at the Savoy
- Now we freak, oh what a joy
- Just come on down to 54
- Find your spot out on the floor
-
- (* repeat 4 times)
-
- Now freak! I said freak, le freak!
-
- (** repeat)
- (* repeat and fade)
|
- (*) (I,m a) happy man, happy man, that's me
- Happy man, for you all to see
- Happy man, and the world is my home
- Happy man, with a style of my own
-
- When you see me, I'm a smilin' face
- Spreadin' all my love around the place
- All around the world I go travelling
-
- When they see me come, they start to sing
-
- (* repeat)
-
- Hanging out all night with the jet set
- And I party every little chance I get
- Don't you know life can be real nice
-
- And if it's good, I do it twice
-
- (* repeat 3 times)
- I'm a happy man
|
AT LAST I AM FREE |
SOMETIMES YOU WIN |
CHIC CHEER |
- (*) At last I am free
- I can hardly see in front of me
- I can hardly see in front of me
-
- (* repeat)
-
- I'm lonely, please listen to what I say
- I can't go on livin' life this way
- I've tried and I've tried to make you see
- You call this love, all this lyin'
- My friend, it just can't be
-
- (* repeat 2 times)
-
- I'm lonely, please hold me
- Come closer, my dear
- It feels so good just havin' you near
- But who am I foolin'
- When I know it's not real
- I can't hide all this hurt and pain
- Inside I feel
-
- (* repeat and fade)
|
- (*) Take a little chance
- It don't mean nothing
- Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
-
- (* repeat)
-
- And don't you know that life is just a game
- That you play, win or lose, it's all the same
- Open your eyes, you better
- Look before you leap, take heed
- And watch the signs of life
- Don't play the cheat
- The wheel of fortune just may take its toll
- Be a gambler, play your ace in the hole
- You'll never know
- You might wind up way ahead
- Shoot your best shot
- Take a little chance before you're dead
-
- (* repeat 4 times)
-
- Here you come with that smile on your face
- I assume that even time cannot erase
- Confidence is the most important thing you need
- To look inside yourself, you can succeed
- All the time you better watch out for the trap
- Be careful or first time out
- You might roll crap
- One mistake and life comes tumblin' down
- All around, like galloping dominoes
- That's how it goes
-
- (* repeat and fade)
|
- (*) CHIC (repeat)
- Everybody strut
-
- (* repeat)
-
- Come on everybody
- Give me a C C
-
- Give me an H H
-
- Give me an I I
-
- Give me a C C
-
- If you're friends of CHIC
- Consider yourselves unique
- Just one favour we ask
- We hope it's not too hard a task
- If you don't mind, would you please
- Get up off of your seats and repeat
-
- CHIC (repeat and fade)
