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)
