All lyrics by Bernard Edwards & Nile Rodgers of the CHIC org. - We Are Family 1979 YOU'RE A FRIEND TO ME HE'S THE GREATEST DANCER EASIER TO LOVE (*) Wanna hold you in my arms You're a friend to me You're a friend to me   (* repeat)   Hello, how have you been It's so nice to see you again I've been thinking of ways To make you feel good Anything you want is understood 'Cause you're more than a lover You're a friend Do or die - yours to the end And I remember it well It was all on a Sunday morn On that day our beautiful love was born   (* repeat 2 times)   I need that you are there I'm so glad to know that you care Only for me and baby and what I need A friend in need is truly a friend indeed And you look into my eyes When I cry You hold my hand You understand Always I know I can depend on you To make all of my dreams come true   (* repeat 2 times)   All this hugging and squeezing And loving and pleasing And cuddling and teasin The part I believe in Just you're there boy (*) He's the greatest dancer That I've ever seen He's the greatest dancer   One night in a disco On the outskirts of 'Frisco I was cruisin' with my favorite gang The place was swarmin' With out-of-towners tourin' I knew that it wasn't my thang I really wasn't carin' But I felt my eyes starin' At a guy who stuck out in the crowd He had the kind of body That would shame adonis And a face that would make any man proud   (*repeat)   The champion of dance His moves will put you in a trance And he never leaves the disco alone Arrogance but not conceit As a man he's complete My crème de la crème, please take me home He wears the finest clothes The best designers heaven knows Ooh from his head down to his toes Halston, Gucci, Fiourucci He looks like a steal, that man is dressed to kill   (*repeat 4 times) That I've ever seen (*) Sometimes it seems that way to me It's easier to love, don't you see   (* repeat)   Won't somebody please explain Why all the hurt and the pain? Can't you make'em see It's not supposed to be All this beautiful land See the children playing in the sand I put to you this question Would you ever tolerate destruction? And I don't understand why   (* repeat 3 times)   What more can I say What is this game to play Give a person a little might Well that don't make him right And I hope and pray Oh please let the children play All this killing each other You should be loving your brother And I don't understand why   (* repeat 3 times)   Let me hear you say:   (I do) I love you (repeat 7 times ad lib)   And I don't understand why   (* repeat 4 times and fade) THINKING OF YOU  SOMEBODY LOVES ME WE ARE FAMILY Everybody let me tell you 'bout my love Brought to view by an angel from above Full equipped with a lifetime guarantee Once you try it I am sure that you'll se   (*) Without love, there's no reason to live Without you, what would I do with the love I give All my loving to you I'll be giving And I promise, yes I'll do, as long as I'm living   (**) I'm thinking of you and the things you do to me That makes me love you Now I'm living in ecstasy It's you and the things you do to me That makes me love you Now I'm living in ecstasy   All the time it makes glad that I'm alive Together we will survive What do you think brought the sun out today It's my baby, oh help me say   (* repeat) (** repeat) (** repeat ad lib 4 times and fade) Here I am again Alone in my lonely room How can I believe you loved me? Here I sit just thinking of it All the time that we spent together We were holding hands Making lots of plans The good things A lover and and a friend To me It was so easy to love How can I believe that Somebody loves me?   What happened boy To the love we shared How can I believe you loved me? I just need to know That you cared Honestly Is the love still there? And if you love me Like you say you do Why don't we make plans for two? All I need is Some kind of sign How can I believe that Somebody loves me?   How can I believe That somebody loves me? (repeat ad lib and fade) *We are family I got all my sisters with me We are family Get up, everybody, and sing   (*repeat)   Everyone can see we're together As we walk on by And we fly just like birds of a feather I won't tell no lie All of the people around us they say Can they be that close Just let me state for the record We're givin' love i a family does   (*repeat 2 times)   Livin' life is fun and we're just begun To get our share of this world's delights High hopes we have for the future And our goal's in sight No we don't get depressed Here's what we call our golden rule Have faith in you and the things you do You won't go wrong, oh no This is our family jewel   (*repeat with following)   Sing it to me   **Get up, get up(get up) And sing it to me Oh, I can't hear you now(y'all) Have faith in you and the things you do Get up, get up y'all I got my sisters with me Everybody, hey hey hey... Get up, get up and sing it to me We're havin' fun Life, life has just begun for me, me   (** repeat)   Me and my family Get up, get up and sing it Sing it, sing it, sing it, sing it to me Yeah, we flock together Like birds of a feather Get up, come on, Joni   (*repeat to end) LOST IN MUSIC ONE MORE TIME  (*) We're lost in music, caught in a trap No turning back, we're lost in music We're lost in music, feels so alive I quit my 9 to 5, we're lost in music   Have you ever seen some people lose everything First to go is their mind Responsability to me is a tragedy I'll get a job some other time I want to join a band and play in front of crazy fans Yes I call that temptation Give me the melody, that's all that I'd ever need The music is my salvation   (* repeat)   In the spotlight, the bands plays so very tight Each and every night It's no vanity, to me it's my sanity I could never survive Some people ask of me: "What are you gonna be? Why don't you go get a job?" All that I can say: I won't give up my music Not me, not now, no way, no how   (* repeat and fade) (*) Say it one more time Kiss me, say it one more time Say it, say it one more time Kiss me, sayi it one more time   You keep saying that you want to love me And I know you know that I know it's true Surely it can't be so hard to tell me Baby, you love me and I love you   (* repeat)   You know a girl needs to hear it If all the things you say are true Why can't you tell me if you feel it I shouldn't always have to Be the one to tell you   (* repeat) (* repeat 3 times and fade) Thanks to Soeren from Denmark who transcribed all lyrics except 'We Are Family' & 'He's The Greatest Dancer'.
