All lyrics by Bernard Edwards & Nile Rodgers of the CHIC org. - Love Somebody Today 1980 REACH YOUR PEAK GOT TO LOVE SOMEBODY YOU FOOLED AROUND (*) I'd like to see you reach your peak And feel the beat that gets to me I'd like to see you reach your peak And feel the beat that gets to me   I'd like to see you reach that sunny day I hope you can achieve all of the things you say But if you don't make it Don't give up, just fake it You're not whipped yet C'mon and try to forget   (* repeat)   You occupy your time with such silly things Do you have to go every time the phone rings And when you don't get What you want, don't fret You know it's comin' babe Relax and stop your running   (* repeat 2 times)   (* repeat 3 times)   If you really wanna get it You can get on up and move it 'Cause I'm reaching my peak I'm reaching my peak I'm reaching my peak yeah (* repeat) (*) I've got to love somebody today I've got to love somebody I've got to love somebody today I've got to love somebody (soon)   Tired of movies all by myself I'm sure you folks know what I mean My time has come and I need someone To share my popcorns and jellybeans Looked in the mirror, it all got clearer I won't let my life pass me by Stop feelin' sorry for myself Fish are biting I'll throw out my line   (* repeat 2 times)   Must be careful and watch my step I hope the shock is very mild I'll change my hair and change my style Watch out I might just go wild I got to get out and live And show the world how much I can give I'm gonna do it all by myself I'll make a love you can't put on a shelf   (* repeat 2 times)   (* repeat 8 times ad lib)   (* repeat 2 times) (*) Baby this time I know Yes you fooled around and you fell in love Honey I tell you so Yes you fooled around and you fell in love   (* repeat)   Boy you came along And you took my heart Gave it quite a start You had a love, fit like a glove Yes, it was the perfect love Don't get me wrong But I've heard that song I've seen that dance And I know romance All this to say it's a new day I've spoken to the owl The jig is up   (* repeat 2 times)   Now there you go You found a toy that brings you joy The love I feel - it still remains But you're not the same I see the change You've been acting strange I feel the pain I can't stand the strain What can I do I still love you Wanting you, needing you Holding you, loving you   (* repeat 4 times) I'M A GOOD GIRL EASY STREET PRETTY BABY (*) Oh what is this feeling I feel I don't like it - no Honey I don't know what's come over me I mustn't lose control You see I'm a good girl Oh what is this feeling I feel I don't like it - no Honey I don't know what's come over me I mustn't lose control of my senses   Even when I don't want to baby I can't stop the feelin' It just seems to happen And even when I don't need to baby I can't help myself You always seem to win   (* repeat)   Even when I first met you boy I knew it'd be good but never like this And even when you're so bad I can't hurt you no 'cause I just hurt myself   (* repeat 2 times ad lib) (*) Easy Street The sidewalk's cleaner Easy Street The grass is greener Easy Street, Easy Street   I've spent some time on lonely street Right 'crosstown that's where I used to be When I fell by the wayside you see I got wrapped up in me And moved to only street I was searching high and low Looking for a place to go I caught the bus of opportunity Hopped into the front seat And I got off on   (* repeat 2 times)   Poundin' down the meanest streets And my stomach's wonderin' Where am I gonna get my next meal Been handed quite a deal My cycle's incomplete I had corns on my feet From the hours I walked the beat I'd like to drop it from my memory I found a way in me to wake the dead end   (* repeat 5 times and fade) (*) Pretty Baby grew into a lady The people don't know what your mama know They don't Pretty Baby   In the light of the dawn A pretty babe was born Her mother she had sworn to take good care of her Every night mom would pray Her life would not be torn Her clothes would not be worn Until they dropped off of her My child, you dear, don't have no fear I'll shed the tears, keep your head clear My Pretty Baby   (* repeat)   Little girl I want you to attend the finest schools And never be a fool I've got experience Learn all that you can You'll find that in the end You'll learn how to depend on yourself It makes me glad you have the things I didn't have Never be sad, my Pretty Baby   (* repeat)   The people don't know what your mama know They don't (repeat 4 times)   Pretty Baby grew into a lady (repeat)   The people don't know what your mama know They don't (repeat 2 times)   Pretty Baby HOW TO LOVE LET'S GO ON VACATION  I know how to sing a pretty song I can carry on talking all night long But when it comes to you I don't know what to do I guess I never knew how to love I have to fulfill all of my dreams My frustrations are bursting at the seems Sometimes I don't have time When you want to wine and dine But you are still the one I'm thinking of   (*) I guess I never knew how to love I never knew just how to love I guess I never knew how to love I never knew just how to love   I didn't plan to be a star Didn't you tell me to be just who you are You're so important to me These things I have to be I guess I never knew how to love I see why you want to go I love but it doesn't show I am just being myself Can't be anybody else But you are still the one I'm thinking of   (* repeat ad lib)   Without you I just don't know what to do Without you I just don't know what to do Without you (*) Let's go - go on vacation Our love could stand a renovation Let's go - go on vacation Our love could stand a renovation   Now and then I feel Our love is condemned I wanna get back on the right track I won't pretend that everything's alright A double L R I G H T for me 'Cause our love was built on honesty Folks say that Philly is a city of brotherly love You know it's a pity that we cannot Trust each other anymore Let's leave the big metropolis And head down to the shore   (* repeat 2 times)   California here we come To your golden sun sinking in the sand We'll go walking hand in hand Thru the streets of Beverly Hills Don't care if we're exhausted With the prices going up We feel the cost is very very cheap The price of love is steep A holiday we need It's a perfect remedy City lights are far behind us There will be nothing in our path to blind us   (* repeat ad lib and fade) Thanks to Soeren from Denmark who transcribed all lyrics.
