This crusade is much more important than the anti- lynching movement, because there would be no lynching if it did not start in the schoolroom.

Education does have a great role to play in this period of transition. But it is not either education or legislation; it is both education and legislation. It may be true that morality cannot be legislated, but behavior can be regulated. It may be true that the law cannot make a man love me, but it can keep him from lynching me, and I think that’s pretty important also. It may be true that the law cannot change the heart, but it can restrain the heartless, and this is what we often do and we have to do in society through legislation. We must depend on religion and education to change bad internal attitudes, but we need legislation to control the external effects of those bad internal attitudes. And so there is a need for meaningful civil right legislation.

Pretty Words

Ive seen the way he cast his spell
Hes gonna hurt you I can tell
Just to prove that he can be your lover
Hes gonna turn on that charm
Tonight hell wrap you in his arms
Tomrrow he will leave you for another
Pretty is as pretty does
Thats how it is and always was
Pretty words are all hes givin you
And when he whispers int he dark
Watch out hes gonna break your heart
cause pretty words wont make your dreams come true
Theyre just pretty words
Just pretty words
In the morning you will find
That you were just the next in line
Theres nothing I can do thats gonna stop you
Before you go just let me say
Id never treat your love that way
Ill be here long after hes forgot you
Pretty is as pretty does
Thats how it is and always was
Pretty words are all hes givin you
And when he whispers int he dark
Watch out hes gonna break your heart
cause pretty words wont make your dreams come true
Theyre just pretty words
Just pretty words

Pretty Boy

I lie awake at night
See things in black and white
I've only got you inside my mind
You know you have made me blind

I lie awake and pray
That you will look my way
I have all this longing in my heart
I knew it right from the start

Oh my pretty pretty boy I love you
Like I never ever loved no one before you
Pretty pretty boy of mine
Just tell me you love me too
Oh my pretty pretty boy
I need you
Oh my pretty pretty boy I do
Let me inside
Make me stay right beside you

I used to write your name
And put it in a frame
And sometime I think I hear you call
Right from my bedroom wall

You stay a little while
And touch me with your smile
And what can I say to make you mine
To reach out for you in time

[BRIDGE]
Oh pretty boy
Say you love me too

Pretty woman, walkin? down the street
Pretty woman the kind I'd like to meet
Pretty woman I don?t believe you, it must be true
No one could look as good as you---mercy

If It's Love!

It's important that unshown love,
Comes directly shown from you.
To say it...
Doesn't make,
That-love-be-true!

It's important that unshown love,
Is a thing one wants to do...
Just to prove what is said,
Is absolutely true.

A hug,
And maybe a kiss.
A touch,
That has been missed.
A show of thoughtfulness...
Can go a very long distance.

A call,
Every once in a while...
Will go further than a mile.
If love is there to be shared...
Show someone they are cared for!
And doubts will come no more.

It's important that unshown love,
Comes directly shown from you.
To say it...
Doesn't make,
That-love-be-true!

It's important it's directly shown,
If it's love.
Yes!

It's important it's directly shown.
It's important it's directly shown.
It's important it's directly shown,
If it's love!

It shoos a boo-hooin'...
Known.

It's important it's directly shown.
It's important it's directly shown.
It's important it's directly shown,
If it's love!

A hug,
And maybe a kiss.
A touch,
That has been missed.
A show of thoughtfulness...
Can go a very long distance.

It's important it's directly shown.
It's important it's directly shown.
It's important it's directly shown,
If it's love!

You Better Stop

Well i want you to understand me
I don't want you to be confused
I see through that line you're tryin' to hand me
And i don't like being used
So i think you better stop
And see what you're tryin' to do
Yes i think you better stop
Before it comes back on you
Well you're gifted in your conversation
And you've got a ?? that's mighty strong
And i had you in consideration
But you didn't fool me for long
So i think you better stop
And see what you're tryin' to do
Yes i think you better stop
Before it comes back on you
Well who am i to tell you what to do?
I love you just enough to tell you true - you better stop
But if you're content with a one night stand
Then go on, play the field
But just make sure that that's the way you really feel
You better stop - stop - stop
Yes i think you better stop
You don't really have to change your lifestyle
Just stretch it and let it go
And maybe baby, in the meanwhile
We will fall in love, and you will know
That you had better stop
And see what you're tryin' to do
Yeah i think you better stop
Before it comes back on you
You had better stop
Before it comes back on you
You better stop - stop - stop
Yes i think you better stop
You better stop
You better stop
You better stop

Stop girl, before he breaks your heart

Im the one who loves you and Ill be around
He could never love you like I love you, girl
He could never say the things, like I need you in my world
Girl, I really love you, but you wont give me your time
You tell me that he loves you so and you cant make up your mind
Girl, hes not true
Now I know theres lovin for you

I guess Im gonna love you for my whole life long

Wanna Make Love To You

By jerry williams
How can I explain
This feeling thats true?
Honey, I cant hardly stand it,
I wanna make love to you.
I aint gonna try to tell you
How its made me so blue,
Sitting alone here and wondering.
I wanna make love to you.
Where the storms fall from the heavens
And the rivers, they stop their flow,
If you just stop and talk to me,
Honey, thats where I belong.
I wanna make love to you.
I wanna make love to you.
I wanna make love to you.
I wanna make love to you.
Please, stop and tell me,
Tell me you want me too.
Come on, baby,
I wanna make love to you.

Oh, darling.

Thinkin' of You (Everywhere I Go)

vs.1 No matter what goes on in my life,
You're always on my mind.
I've never met anyone so special,
Adorable, sweet, and kind.
Words can't describe just how I feel,
And no one can break this long-lasting seal
Between us; you're the most loving
Person I come to find.
(chorus)
I've been thinkin' of you,
Everywhere I go.
I'm pretty sure you're my true love,
And they all seem to think so.
I've been dreamin' of you,
Day and night.
I don't know what goes on in YOUR head,
But I'm certain it's right
Along with mine, too,
'Cause I've been thinkin' of you.
vs.2 You say I'm pretty much the
Most important thing to you.
Of course, that's believable,
Considering what you do.
You lean down and kiss me,
And no one can take away this memory;
You tell me you love me, and
I say 'I love you, too.'
(chorus)
(instrumental)
(chorus) x2
No, I don't know what goes on that head of yours,
But I'm certain it's right
Along with mine, too.
'Cause I've been dreamin', wonderin',
Thinkin' of you!
Yes, it's true; I love you! :)

They Love Each Other

Mary run around, sailin up and down,
Looking for a shot in some direction.
Got it from the top, its nothing you can stop,
Lord, you know they made a fire connection.
They love each other, lord you can see that its true,
Lord you can see that its true, lord you can see that its true.
He could pass his time, around some other line
But you know he choose this place beside her.
Dont get in their way, theres nothing you can say,
Nothing that you need to add or do.
They love each other, lord you can see that its true,
Lord you can see that its true, lord you can see that its true.
Its nothing, they explain, its like a diesel train
You better not be there when it rolls, over,
And when that train rolls in, you wonder where its been,
You gotta try and see a little further.
[ additional lyrics from the 1973 version ]
Though youll make a noise, just cant hear your voice.
All the dizzy ride on your cold shoulder.
Wont you believe what I say is true?
Everything I did I heard it first from you.
Everything I tell you, I heard it first from you.
Heard your news report, you know youre falling short.
Pretty soon, well trust you for the weather.
When that ship comes in, you wont know where its been.
You got to try to see a little further.
