I GOT IT COVERED
(Hughes)

I'll tell you somethin' that you ought to know
You really must know, you really must know
You really must know

I'll tell you somethin' pretty baby
That you ought to know right now
I've been lookin' for you sugar
Some place, some how
You really must know, you really must know

You tell me somethin' hot mama
Tell me somethin' right now
Been a long time gone last summer
Some place, some how
You really must know, you really must know
You really must know, know, know
You really must know

You really got it covered
Really got it, really got it covered
Covered, oh you got it covered baby

Lay it down on each other mama
Oh each and every night
Oh you better get ready
Looks like there's gonna be a fist fight
You really must know, you really must know,
know, know, know, know, know, know
You really must know, know, know,
You really must know

I got it covered, either side of you baby, huh, huh, huh Really got it covered, other side of you baby, huh, huh, huh


SPACE HIGH
(Hughes)

Thirty two saucers, over the land
Should we catch them? Or should we let them land

Will they be friendly?
Will they be foe?
Who's gonna help us?
God only knows, god only knows

You gotta understand me
That I'm a natural guy
The places you've been goin'
Are space high, oh space high

Thirty two saucers, over this land
Should we catch them?
Or should we let them land

Will they be friendly?
Will they be foe?
Who will help us?
God only knows, god only knows

You gotta understand me
That I'm on a natural high
The places I've been goin'
Are space high, oh space high


IT'S ABOUT TIME
(Hughes)

They say that nothin's better
To Feel you in my arms
You know I'm out to get ya
So why won't you come back to me baby
And it's about time

I need you baby, I need you so
I love you baby, don't you know
Come to me woman, every night
You know what baby, you're clean outta sight
You're clean outta sight
Oh you're clean outta sight

You left this home with heartache
You really should have known
It's only for your own sake
So why can't you come back to me baby

I need you baby, I need you so
I love you baby, don't you know
Come to me woman, every night
You know what baby, you're clean outta sight
You're clean outta sight
Oh you're clean outta sight


L.A. CUT OFF
(Hughes)

Three years gone, comin' back strong
House in the hills, Beverley Hills
You can't get a thrill
Hold back resistance
Don't need assistance
So follow me babe, you can't go wrong
You know babe I'm comin' back
I'm comin' back strong
I'm comin' back strong

I lived so good, too good, that's Hollywood
I've been the fool
But that ain't cruel

If you want me
You can have me baby
You can take me
If you want me baby
If you want me
You got to pay the price
If you want me take my advice
I'm comin' back strong

One friend in the city, now ain't that a pity
Everybody loves ya, everybody leaves ya
They all leave ya sometime

Hold back resistance, don't need assistance
So follow me babe
So follow me babe, cos I'm back strong
Comin' back strong, you know, comin' back strong

SOULUTION
(Hughes)

Bad kid, messin' with smart kid
What do you got? Looks like trouble
Easy on the oneside
The other's a wise ride
Seems to be confusion

Walk to the right
Walk to the left
Walkin' down midstreet, illusion
Slow down, the heat's on
Got to see delusion

Slow down, you talk too fast
Shut your mouth
What has to be done?

No confusion
No illusion
Changing fusion
It's called Soulution

Street light, bad sight
What do you got? Trouble
Waitin' on a inside, get you on the outside
Seems to be confusion

Step to the right
Step to the left
Walkin' down midstreet, illusion
Slow down, the heat's on
Got to see delusion

No confusion
No illusion
Changing fusion
It's called soulution


YOUR LOVE IS LIKE A FIRE
(Hughes)

Your love is like a fire
It thrills me with desire
Your love is like a fire

Your love is like a fire
Your flame keeps gettin' higher
Your love is like a fire

You pulled me through from cryin'
You knew that I was tryin'
You knew that I was tryin'

You moved me from the city
On Sunset it ain't pretty
Your love has got to be like a fire

What do you do, when your down and out?
How can you choose when you know your gonna lose?
You gotta help me, you gotta help me
You gotta help me

You be my friend never can end
You be my friend never can end

What do you do, when your down and out?
How can you choose when you know your gonna lose?
You gotta help me, you gotta help me
You gotta help me

Your love is like a fire
It thrills me with desire
Your love is like a fire

Your love is like a fire
It thrills me with desire
Your love is like a fire


DESTINY
(Hughes/Holland/Galley)

Look what you've done
You think that you're the only one
The day's already gone, it's gone
I've found the strength to carry
Carry on, ooh baby I'm going to carry on

You say you love me
But you're the only one you see
That ain't the way, that ain't the way that it should be
Is this, is this my destiny
Oh is this my destiny I know this is my destiny

I'm not the guy that you see
The road is clear in front of me
It's plain to see
This is my destiny
Plain to see, clear in front of me

You've been havin' fun
It's all been said and done
Your time will come, you'll be the lonely one
Oh the lonely one, oh baby, oh baby

You know I wanted you
Do you know what I've been through
What do you want from me?
What do you expect me to be?

I'm not the guy that you see
The road is clear in front of me
It's plain to see
This is my destiny
Plain to see, clear in front of me


I FOUND A WOMAN
(Hughes)

So very hard, hard
Sail on, you've got to believe
In what you believe in
Oh it's all waitin' for you babe

I wonder where I go?
I know only my heart must show
Hands in the dark reachin' out
Tryin' to find you, you know what I'm about
Don't refuse me, hear me out, there's no doubt

I found a woman
I found a woman
I found a woman
I don't want nothin', only your lovin'
I found a woman, to play me out

Hands in the dark, reachin' out
Tryin' to find you, you know what I'm about
Don't refuse me hear me out, don't confuse me
There's no doubt

I found a woman
I found a woman
I found a woman
I don't want nothin', only your lovin'
I found a woman, to play me out
