[Parte 1: William Bell]
Have I told you lately that I love you?
Well, if I didn't, darlin', I'm sorry!
Did I reach out and hold you in my loving arms
Oh, when you needed me?

Now I realize that you need love, too
And I'll spend my life making love to you
Oh, I forgot to be your lover
And I'm sorry, I'm so sorry

Have I taken the time to share with you
All the burden that love will fare?
And have I done the little simple things to show you
Just how much I care?

Oh, I've been workin' for you doin' all I can
To work all the time didn't make me a man
Oh, I forgot to be your lover
And I'm sorry, I'll make it up to you somehow, baby

I forgot to be your lover
Gonna make it up to you somehow
Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, baby
I forgot to be your lover

[Parte 2: Aretha Franklin]
I'm only one step ahead of heartbreak
One step ahead of misery
One step is all I'd have to take backwards
To be the same old fool for you I used to be

I'm only one step ahead of your arms
One kiss away from your sweet lips
I know I can't afford to stop for one moment
Cause I'm just out of reach of your fingertips

Your warm breath on my shoulder
Keeps reminding me
That it's too soon to forget you
It's too late to be free, can't you see?

[Parte 3: Nina Simone]
Doncha know no one alive can always be an angel?
When everything goes wrong, you see some bad

But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

Ya know sometimes baby I'm so carefree
With a joy that's hard to hide
And then sometimes again it seems that all I have is worry
And then you're bound to see my other side

But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

If I seem edgy
I want you to know
I never mean to take it out on you
Life has its problems
And I get more than my share
But that's one thing I never mean to do

Cause I love you
Oh baby
I'm just human
Don't you know I have faults like anyone?

Sometimes I find myself alone regretting
Some little foolish thing
Some simple thing that I've done

I'm just a soul whose intentions are good

[Parte 4: Marvin Gaye]
Mother, mother
There's too many of you crying
Mother, mother

[Parte 5: Ray Charles]
One of these days and it won't be long
You are going to look for me and I'll be gone

Now you know I believe
(I believe, yes, I believe)
I say I believe right now
(I believe, yes, I believe)
Well, I believe to my soul now
You're trying to make a fool of me
(I believe it, I believe it)

Well, you're going around here with your head so hard
I think I'm going to have to use my rod

Now you know I believe
(I believe, yes, I believe)
I say I believe right now
(I believe, yes, I believe)
Well, I believe to my soul now
You're trying to make a fool of me
(I believe it, I believe it)

Last night you were dreaming, and I heard you say
(Oh Johnny!) When you know my name is Ray

Now you know I believe
(I believe, yes, I believe)
I say I believe right now
(I believe, yes, I believe)
Well, I believe to my soul now
You're trying to make a fool of me
(I believe it, I believe it)

[Parte 6: James Brown]
This is a man's world
This is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing
Without a woman or a girl

You see man made the cars
To take us over the road
Man made the train
To carry the heavy load
Man made the electric light
To take us out of the dark
Man made the boat for the water
Like Noah made the ark

This is a man's, man's, man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing
Without a woman or a girl

This is a man's world

This is a man's world
World
This is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing, nothing
Without a woman or a girl
