Its All Over Now
(bobby and shirley womack)
Baby used to stay out all night long
She made me cry
You know she done me wrong
She held my eyes open and thats no lie
Tables turned and now its her turn to cry
But then I used to love her but its all over now
Yes it is
But then I used to love her but its all over now
Listen
She used to run around with every single man in town
Spent all my money playing her fast game
She put me out, it was a pity how I cried
But the tables turned and now its her turn to cry
Because I used to love her but its all over now
Aint no lie
Because I used to love her but its all over now
Listen
Well I used to wake the morning get my breakfast in bed
When I got worried shed ease my aching head
But now shes here and there with every single man in town
But the tables turned and now its her turn to cry
Because I used to love her but its all over now
Yes it is
Because I used to love her but its all over now
Listen to this one
Because I used to love her but its all over now
But then I used to love her but its all
Now wait a minute
But then I used to love her but you know
But you know its all over now
But then I used to love her but you know its all over now

Its All Over Now
(bobby & shirley womack)
Well, baby used to stay out all night long
She made me cry and she did me wrong
She had my nose open, thats no lie
The tables have turned, now its her turn to cry
Because I used to love her, but its all over now
Because I used to love her, but its all over now
She used to run around with every man in town
She spent all my money tryying to play that high class game
She put me down, it was a pity how I cried
The tables have turned, now its her turn to cry
Because I used to love her, but its all over now
Because I used to love her, but its all over now
I used to wake up in the morning, get my breakfast in bed
Whenever I got worried, she would rub my aching head
But now shes here and there, with every man in town
Still trying to take me for that same old clown
Because I used to love her, but its all over now
Because I used to love her, but its all over now

What's My Name
You always were too cool
Pushing us around school
Everyone knew who you were
You always walked the line
We had to step aside
We always had to eat your dirt
But the tables turned
And things have changed
Time for a lesson
So let's spell it out again
Remind me just in case
You might have forgotten
What's my name?
Say it again
You always brought us down
Kicked the weak around
Making out that we didn't exist
When we'd speak our views
You'd say 'who are you'
And make your point with a fist
But the tables turned
And things have changed
Time for a lesson
So let's spell it out again
Remind me just in case
You might have forgotten
What's my name?
Say it again

I used to walk around like
Nothing could happen to me
Life is a gamble so i
Should live life more carefully
But all I know is that i
Control my own destiny
I used to look at others
Instead of me blaming me
Bridge:
Dont ask yourself why
Just look to the sky
Believe that soon youll see the other side
Chorus:
I know
That through all the struggle
Theres a bright road
At the end of the tunnel
Now you should know
Whatever your dilemma may be
Youll learn
Life is worth it
Watch the tables turn
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Whenever you feel troubled
With problems coming your way
Dont ever get discouraged
Theres always a better day
We all dont know the answers
Believe and trust when I say
That havin faith is always
The way to make things okay
Bridge
Chorus
Thats right
Alright
Youve had your ups and downs but
It happened for a reason
Cause after april showers
There will come a change of season
So please dont give up now cuz
The suns shinin through the clouds
Its gonna be alright
I know

You Need Me
As a child I missed a lot of love I never had
And daddy, he was distant, never there to hold my hand
Never bought the things hed always promise to give me
Mother made a point of always watching over me
Days would go by and we would never see his face
In my mind Id wonder does he have another place?
If and when hed come in he would always be upset
All the kids were scared, his looks would always be a threat
Chorus:
Now that you are older and you begin to see
Familys important, to be there if you need
Father never taught us, these things mom said to me
Now the tables turned so tell me you need me
Daddy daddy dearest, what is it you want from me
I wont turn my back on you the way you did with me
Now youre trying to give, Im always reaching out to grab
Ill give you what I can but I cant give what I dont have
Mother lends a shoulder, to cry on if you need
But are you there for mother when she needs your company?
Father never taught us, these things mom said to me
Now the tables turned so tell me you need me
Say you need me
If you realize we need each other
We would be a closer family
I need you, yeah, I need you, and you know that
Say you need me
Repeat chorus
Say you need me
Just you wait
Youll need me
(howd that groove go? hey!)

Nothin' At All
I suppose, for a man like you
To be the love of my life
That's a lot to ask
But somehow, I feel the right
So here I am, hey babe, with the tables turned
The fear of getting burned, your hand's been cold
I want everything
Or nothin' at all, at all
Every, every, everything
Now what am I to do?
You made me fall for you
I want everything
Or nothin' at all
I may be wrong, I've been wrong before
But I won't be a fool
Not for you this time
There's some things I'm not going through
So here I stand, hey babe, with a lot to lose
But I wanna see the truth
Through your walls
I want everything
Or nothin' at all, at all
Every, every, everything
Now what am I to do?
You made me fall for you
I want everything
Or nothin' at all
You told me you love me, you told me you need me
I hear all the words that you say, what you need to do
I'm tired of feeling there's nothin' more to believe in
I won't wait for you to break my heart
So here I am, hey baby, with the tables turned
And the fear of getting burned
Your hand's been cold
I want everything
Or nothin' at all, at all
I want everything
I want everything
Now what am I to do?
You made me fall for you
I want everything
Or nothin' at all, at all
I want everything, I want everything
Now what am I to do?
You made me fall for you, you, you, you, you
Oh, nothin' at all
I said nothin' at all
I miss ya baby
You're my everything
I want everything - I want everything
Everything ... Everything

On The Outside Forever Looking In
After years of friendship,
and from words of another,
they decided that they no longer,
wanted to be a friend.
They even went as far as to accuse,
for things that were never done.
Now the tables have turned,
and the one with the words
has turned against them.
So they came back to see their old friend.
Unfortunately they cannot repair what they had done.
They don’t understand the hurt
they cause with their betrayal.
Now they want to come back,
not realising it will never be the same.
They can be forgiven for their blindness,
but trust they can never reclaim.
They will remain on the outside
forever looking in.

Destitute and Isolated
So alone I feel.
So destitute and isolated.
So without hope...
I would sell my faith,
To embrace eyes of kindness once again!
Those tables have turned on me.
And I beg for your forgiveness.
'If you ever face those folks,
Who you deceived with your greed...
I recommend you add a limp!
And don't bathe for a few days.
That is the only way you will escape,
Their hatred.
Do not take for granted,
They will overwhelm you with empathy.
You fed your selfishness...
While destroying their lives.
Hopefully they will not recognize you,
At the food pantry.
We need to eat!
Now...
Say that again.
Add the limp!
And I strongly suggest...
You do not use that,
'Those tables have turned on me' line.
Remember...
These folks are extremely bitter.
And you do not want to leave them with any clues,
Whatsoever.
Okay!
Again.
Do that again!
You've got to be more convincing.
'FEEL IT'.
Feel what you're saying.'
So alone I feel.
So destitute and isolated.
So without hope...
I would sell my faith,
To embrace eyes of kindness once again!
Those taaa...
'Again!
Do it again.
We have to eat.
Someone spit on my fur...
The last time I stood in line.
You want to eat or what?
Do it again.
Perhaps you can get us two cans of fruit cocktail,
This time.
And save 'that' look for 'them'.
I'm not buying your bitterness.
You got us into this mess!
Again!
Do it again! '

Mouse and House
Underneath the tables responds the mouse,
Inside it weeps, and soaks up water in its house.
Its house is a follower’s abode, of stealth,
May the tables bend and steal the wealth.
In its house we found the treasure of cool surroundings,
There was gold, water and many, many beginnings.
The gold was stationary, like the hostility in the tables,
The real dining occurred in this hole for animals.

Dontcha Want Me Now?
Verse1:
Im evasive Im cool and Im nobodys fool
And Im layin it on the line
You looked a mess
Cause my little black dress
Stopped you on a dime
Dont even try it your ticket has expired
And Im just too tired to dance
Even if you want me
Youre not gonna get me
Cause baby you had your chance
Chorus:
Dont you want me now
Now that Im trying not to try so hard
Dont you want me now
Dont you wonder how
You couldve pushed this naive girl
To go so lowdown
The tables are turned somehow
Dont you want me now
Verse2:
Its not really me its somebody else
But Im lovin her just the same
The look on your face
When I walked in this place
Will remain forever on my brain
Cause the jokes on you
And its long overdue
Tell me can you take the heat
Wanting to hassle the king in his castle
Revenge never tasted so sweet
Chorus
Bridge:
Who cares who wins cause just the same
Im not into baby games
Yet you once swept me off my feet
Now look whos in the drivers seat
Chorus:
Now, now that Im trying not to try so hard
Dont you want me now
Dont you wonder how
You couldve pushed this naive girl
To go so lowdown
The tables are turned somehow
Dont you want me now
Dont you want me now
Dont you want me now
Dont you want me baby
Dont you want me now
Dont you
Dont you want me now
Oh, yeah

Walking Tables
How do tables walk as one?
And why do chairs seem to run?
How my rest is desired, and how
Do I kick in the air for relaxation?
My chimney is found with the soot
Of a black utterance, as seemly as light;
The light travels up and down the world,
With smoke, crime is committed, like walking
Chairs and turning tables, this world is one.
With this house may I live alone,
Where wolves like criminals detest you.
Anyone walked a long distance, anyway,
Justice must be allowed, and searched
By the home and heaven.
How do tables and chairs move?

Spit it Out
Since you never gave a damn in the first place
Maybe it's time you had the tables turned
Cuz in the interest of all involved I got the problem solved
And the verdict is guilty...
...Man nearly killed me
Steppin' where you fear to tread
Stop

Never fair
I used to be such an idealist, believed everything goes well when you do well
I used to think that babies were born to parents that always loved them
I thought justice would be served for every injustice suffered
I believed if you really loved you couldn't lose
I used to think sex was just for pleasure
Until one day, just one, the tables turned
And me the passionate lover of love was lying in a hospital bed
Thick blood oozing down my legs soaking everything with my guilt
One moment of pleasure had turned the tables on me
That one moment of pleasure turned me into a mother only at sixteen
He was nowhere to be found, He that had said he couldn't live without me; He was nowhere to be found
Vanished with the summer breeze as my winter started
A child I desperately wanted to die couldn't die; somebody had arrived just on time
And here we were mother and child, both safe
I safe because for my treason I couldn't go to prison for the life I had
Attempted murder would have been my charge
But somebody I didn't know and I couldn't care for saved my life
Now justice had to be served
The more I tried the more I realized justice is a hoax
He got away with paying a mere 300 every month till she was eighteen
I didn't care about child maintenance
I wanted justice served, for breaking my heart I wanted him to pay
But that's all the judge thought it was worth,300 Pula and that wasn't even for me
So I settled with that bitter taste of reality, Life is not fair

Bagatelle...
shying from the outside world
where the sun can make a thousand bites
the king through his ministers
evolved
from efforts of bringing croquet
and shuffleboard
inside and
atop tables....
in the Great Hall at
Hatfield House
the tables have become smaller
enjoying the holes
in the middle
of their chores....

The Cheaters
Once you’ve cheated it’s hard to stop
Because it makes you feel like you’re on top.
You didn’t think about getting caught
Because it wasn’t something that you had sought.
So you continued your sinful ways
And with the hearts you did play.
Then the tables were turned on you
And you didn’t know what to do.
Cheating like everything else, is a game for two
You control it, or it controls you.
When a man does it, he is called a cheater
When a woman does it, she is looked down upon
And the talk lingers on.
He turned around and said:
“ how can you do this to me? ”
I have given you all my love
And I put you on a pedestal high above.
she responded with a smile on her face.
Just look in the mirror and you will see
That you spread your love with not only me.
You cheated, and I did the same
But you did it first so who is to blame?
Cheating is not a game that you want to play
People get hurt and then you pay.

Casino Queen
Well the money's pouring down and the people all look down,
And it's floating out of town
I hit the second deck and I spend my paycheck,
And my wife that I just met, she's looking like a wreck
Casino Queen, my lord you're mean
I've been gambling like a fiend on your tables so green
I always bet on black, blackjack,
I'll pay you back
The room fills with smoke and I'm already broke,
And the dealer keeps on joking as he takes my last token
Casino Queen, my lord you're mean
I've been gambling like a fiend on your tables so green
Casino Queen, my lord you're mean
I've been gambling like a fiend on your tables so green

Feels Good To Me
The chapter is opened and the pages are turned
The writings say many things but who was concerned
Where can we run to now, when will we learn?
When its lost its gone forever
For years they told me what I should do
Down to the places to go and who should I talk to
But that dont matter no more since I found out the truth
And it feels good to me
The world is turnin
Forever turnin
Forever yearnin
For the love of life
And youre wrong if you think that Im afraid to love
I wonder, I wonder does it not seem strange to you
Just how the tables have turned on me and you?
How long can we go on livin, livin the way we do?
When its lost its gone forever
It feels good to me.....
