# Title Duration
1 Play I’m A Man (S. Winwood, J. Miller)
Well, my pad is very messy and there's whiskers on my chin
And I'm all hung up on music, and I always play to win
I ain't got no time for lovin' 'cause my time is all used up
Just sittin' 'round creatin' all that groovy kind of stuff

Well, I'm a man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so
Well, I'm a man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so

Well, if I had my choice of matter I would rather be with cats
All engrossed in mental chatter showin' where our minds are at,
And relating to each other just how strong our will can be
In resisting all involvments with each groovy chick we see

Well, I'm a man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so
Well, I'm a man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so

I've got to keep my image while suspended on a throne
That looks out upon a kingdom filled with people all unknown
Who imagine I'm not human and my heart is made of stone
And I've never had no problems and my toliet's trimmed with gold

Well, I'm a man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so
Well, I'm a man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so

2 Play Gimme Some Lovin’ (S. Winwood, M. Winwood, S. Davis)
Well, my temp'rature's risin' and my feet on the floor,
Twenty people knockin' 'cause they're wanting some more,
Let me in, baby, I don't know what you've got,
But you'd better take it easy, this place is hot
So glad we made it, so glad we made it
You gotta gimme some lovin', gimme some lovin'
Gimme some lovin' every day.

Well, I feel so good, ev'rything is sounding hot,
Better take it easy, 'cause the place is on fire,
Been a hard day and I don't know what to do,
Wait a minute, baby, it could happen to you.

So glad we made it, so glad we made it
You gotta gimme some lovin', gimme some lovin'
Gimme some lovin' every day.

Well, I feel so good, ev'rybody's gettin' high,
Better take it easy, 'cause the place is on fire
Been a hard day, nothin' went too good,
Now I'm gonna relax, honey, ev'rybody should

So glad we made it, so glad we made it
You gotta gimme some lovin', gimme some lovin'
Gimme some lovin' every day

3 Play Every Little Bit Hurts (E. Cobb)
Every little bit hurts
Every little bit hurts
Every night I cry
Every night I die
Every night I wonder why
You treat me cold
Yet you won't let me go

Every little hurt does
Every little hurt does
To you I am a toy
And you're the girl
Who has the say
Why I should play
Yeah you hurt me
Desert me
I just can't take
The loneliness you give me
I just can't go
Another night this way

Come back to me
Darlin' you'll see
I can give you all the things
You wanted me for
If you will stay with me

Every little bit hurts
Every little bit hurts
Every night I cry
Every night I die
Every night I wonder why
You treat me cold
Yet you won't let me go

Come back to me
Darlin' you'll see
I can give you all the things
That you watned me for
If you will stay with me

Every little bit hurts
Every little bit hurts
Every little bit hurts

7 Play Together Till The End Of Time (F. Wilson)
In a world filled with so much sorrow
Every one is thinking of himself
So little time is spent on planning for tomorrow
No one really seems to care
It's so easy to be lost in a land
Where no one wants to help you, no one understands
But we'll hold hands together
And we'll make our plans together
Till the end of time, darling
Till the end of time, my sweet darling
By your side I'll always be
Though things be good or bad
From now until eternity
I'll do anything I can
To make you happy when you're feeling blue
Should you ever have to leave me, I'll be waiting for you
Then we'll hold hands forever
And we'll make our plans together
Till the end of time, darling
Till the end of time, my sweet darling
I'll make you happy when you're feeling blue
Should you ever have to leave me, I'll be waiting for you
Then we'll hold hands together
Darling for ever and ever, oh
Till the end of time, oh darling
Till the end of time, my sweet darling
Till the end of time, I know I'm gonna love you for ever and ever
Oh darling, oh darling for ever and ever

I said the hurt on me child (hurt on me) 
Hurt on me (hurt on me) 
and if that ain`t hurt, tell me what can it be

I looked for her all about
no one knows where she`s hanging out
I asked her friends and the family
they said she put the hurt on me... 

She put the hurt on me (hurt on me) 
I said the hurt on me child (hurt on me) 
Hurt on me (hurt on me) 
and if that ain`t hurt, tell me what can it be

I pray one day she will return
I pray for my little old reign
