The Ad Libs - The Boy From New York City
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svztw0okXKY
Ooo wah, ooo wah cool, cool kitty
Tell us about the boy from New York City
Ooo wah, ooo wah c'mon kitty
Tell us about the boy from New York City
He's kind of tall
He's really fine
Some day I hope to make him mine, all mine
And he's neat
And oh so sweet
And just the way he looked at me
He swept me off my feet
Ooo whee, you ought to come and see
How he walks
And how he talks
Ooo wah, ooo wah cool, cool kitty
Tell us about the boy from New York City
He's really down
And he's no clown
He has the finest penthouse I've ever seen in town
And he's cute
In his mohair suit
And he keeps his pockets full of spending loot
Ooo whee, say you ought to come and see
His dueling scar
And brand new car
Every time he says he loves me
Chills run down my spine
Every time he wants to kiss me
He makes me feel so fine
Ooo wah, ooo wah cool, cool kitty
Tell us about the boy from New York City
Well he can dance
(He can dance, take a chance with a little ro-)
And make romance
(mance baby, cause he's a looker)
That's when I fell in love
With just one glance
(He's sweet talking and cool)
He was shy
And so was I
And now I know I'll never, ever say goodbye
Ooo whee, say you ought to come and see
He's the most
From coast to coast
Ooo wah, ooo wah cool, cool kitty
Tell us about the boy from New York City
Ooo wah, ooo wah c'mon kitty
Tell us about the boy from New York City

Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell - "Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svAs-6MiqxE
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing
I got your picture hangin' on the wall
It can't see or come to me when I call your name
I realize it's just a picture in a frame
I read your letters when you're not near
But they don't move me
And they don't groove me like when I hear
Your sweet voice whispering in my ear
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing
I play the game, a fantasy
I pretend I'm not in reality
I need the shelter of your arms to comfort me
No other sound is quite the same as your name
No touch can do half as much to make me feel better
So let's stay together
I got some memories to look back on
And though they help me when you phone
I'm well aware nothing can take the place of being there
So let me get the real thing
So let me get the real thing
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing

Martha & The Vandellas - "Heatwave"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XE2fnYpwrng
Whenever I’m with him
Something inside
Starts to burning
And I’m filled with desire,
Could it be the devil in me?
Or is this the way love’s supposed to be?
(Chorus)
It’s like a heat wave
It’s burning in my heart
I can’t keep form burning
It’s tearing me apart
Whenever he calls my name
So softly and plain
Right then, right there, I feel that burning flam
Has high blood pressure got a hold on me?
Is this the way loves’ supposed to be?
(Chorus)
Sax Solo.................
Sometimes I stare in space
Tears allover my face,
I can’t explain it, don’t understand it,
I aint never felt like this before
Now this funny feeling has me amazed
Don’t know what to do, my heads in a haze,
It’s like a heat wave.
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Ha ohhh yeah
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
ohhh yeah
I feel it, burning, right here in my heart,
Don’t you know it’s like a heat weave
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
ohhh
Don’t you know it’s like a heat wave?
Burning right here in my heart.

I know you're leavin' me behind
I'm seein' you darlin' for the very last time
Show a little tenderness before you go
Please let me feel your embrace once more
Take me in your arms and rock me,
rock me a little while
We all must feel heartache sometimes
Right now, right now I'm feelin' mine
I've tried my best to be strong, but I'm not able
I'm like a helpless child left in a cradle
Before you leave me behind
let me feel happy one more time
I'm losin' you and my happiness
My life is do dark I must confess
I'll never, never see your smiling face no more
I'll never, never hear your knock upon my door
Before you leave me leave me behind
Let me feel happy one more time
I know you're leavin' me behind
I'm seein' you darlin' for the very last time
Show a little tenderness before you go
Please let me feel your embrace once more
Take me in your arms and rock me,
rock me a little while
We all must feel heartache sometimes
Right now, right now I'm feelin' mine
I've tried my best to be strong, but I'm not able
I'm like a helpless child left in a cradle
Before you leave me behind
let me feel happy one more time
I'm losin' you and my happiness
My life is do dark I must confess
I'll never, never see your smiling face no more
I'll never, never hear your knock upon my door
Before you leave me leave me behind
Let me feel happy one more time
