The Commitments, Vol. 2 soundtrack lyrics -- Hard To Handle .. Andrew Strong


Baby, here I am.
I'm the man on the scene.
I can give you what you want, but you gotta come home with me.
I have got some good old lovin' and i got some in store.
When it comes to throwin' it on, you gotta come back for more.

Boys will come a dime by the dozen.
That ain't nothin' but drugstore lovin'.
Pretty little thing, let me light your candle
'Cause mama, I'm sure hard to handle, now,
Yes, I am.

Action speaks louder than words and i'm a man of great experience. (oh yeah)
I know you've got another man, But I can love you better than him. (says who?)
Take my hand don't be afraid.
I'm gonna prove every word i say. (no lie)
I'm advertising love for free so you can place your ad with me. (ah ha)

Repeat chorus

Baby, here I am.
I'm the man on the scene.
I can give you what you want, but you gotta come home with me.
I have got some good old lovin' and i got some in store. (oh yeah)
When it comes to throwin' it on, you gotta come back for more. (ah ha)

Repeat chorus


The Commitments, Vol. 2 soundtrack lyrics -- Grits Ain't Groceries .. Andrew Strong


If I don't love you baby
Grits ain't grocery,
Eggs ain't poultry,
And Mona Lisa was a man

(Oh yeah! Let's get into it. Listen.)

All around the world, I'd rather be a fly
I'd light on my baby and stay with my woman till I die
With a toothpick in my hand I'd dig a ten foot ditch
And run all through the jungle fighting lions with a switch
Because you know I love you baby
Oh you know I love you baby yeah
Now if I don't love you baby I tell you

Grits ain't grocery,
Eggs ain't poultry,
And Mona Lisa was a man

(Oh baby. Uh! Listen.)

All around the world I've got blisters on my feet
I'm trying to find my baby and bring her home with me
You better run into me baby and be convinced
If you don't run it to me right now woman
You ain't got no sense
Because you know I love you baby
Oh you know I love you baby yeah
Well if I don't love you baby I tell you

Grits ain't grocery,
Eggs ain't poultry,
And Mona Lisa was a man

(C'mon y'all. Hit me. Oh baby. Listen.)

All around the world I never will forget
I lost all my money, my woman, and my pet
But I've got to have you baby and I will settle for nothing less
Give up all my good time baby and stay for happiness
Because you know I love you baby yeah
Oh you know I love you baby yeah
Well if I don't love you baby I tell you

Grits ain't grocery,
Eggs ain't poultry,
And Mona Lisa was a man


The Commitments, Vol. 2 soundtrack lyrics -- I Thank You .. Robert Arkins


(spoken)
(I want everybody to get up off your seat)
(And get your arms together, and your hands together)
(And give me some of that o-o-old soul clapping)

You didn't have to love me like you did
But you did, but you did.
And I thank you.

You didn't have to squeeze me like you did
But you did, but you did.
And I thank you.

If you took your love to somewhere else
I wouldn't know what it meant to be loved to death
You made me feel like I've never felt
Kisses so good I had to holler for help

You didn't have to squeeze me but you did
But you did but you did
And I thank you.

You didn't have to hold me but you did
But you did but you did
And I thank you.

Every day was something new,
You pull out your bag and your fine to-do
You got me trying new things too
Just so I can keep up with you.

You didn't have to shake me like you did
But you did but you did
And I thank you.

You didn't have to make it like you did
But you did but you did
And I thank you.

All my life I've been shortchanged
Without your love baby, it's a crying shame
And now I know what the fellas are talking about
When they say that they been turned out

I want to thank you (thank you)
Thank you (oh, baby)
Thank you baby (yeah, yeah)
Oh baby (I gotta be thanking)
Got to say

(horn break)

You didn't have to love me like you did
But you did, but you did.
(And I thank you.)

You didn't have to hold me like you did
But you did, but you did.
(And I thank you.)

Thank you (thank you, baby)
Baby (Got to thank you)
Baby (oh, baby)
Thank! I've! Got! I've got to (thank you baby)
Thank you baby (oh baby)


The Commitments, Vol. 2 soundtrack lyrics -- That's The Way Love Is .. Angeline Ball


Monday so good
Tuesday so cruel
One day you're so happy now
The next day you're in tears

So you take it where you find it
Or you leave it like it is
That's the way it's al-always been
That's the way love is

Wednesday's alright
But thursday's all wrong
One day you're all with it baby
The next day it's all gone

So you'll take it where you find it
Or you can leave it like it is
That's the way it's al-al-al-ways been
That's the way love is
(instrumental)

Friday you'll beg her
Saturday she'll plead
One day she'll say she loves you
The next day she might leave

So you'll take find it
Or you can leave it like it is
That's the way it's always been
That's the way love is

It so seems so fair sometime
But that's the way love is
It makes you wanna cry
But that's the way love is
(fade) I know you don't know what I'm talking about baby

The Commitments, Vol. 2 soundtrack lyrics -- Too Many Fish In The Sea .. Angeline Ball


Listen here, girls
Take this advice, and remember always in life:

Into each heart some tears must fall
Though you love and lose, you must stand tall
'Cause we all got to cry sometimes
I said, sigh sometimes
Pull yourself together
No use crying forever
Because there's too many fish in the sea
Too many fish in the sea
I said, there's short ones, tall ones, fine ones, kind ones
Too many fish in the sea

My mother once told me something
And every word is true
Don't waste your time on a fella
Who doesn't love you
He'll only mislead you
Only grieve you
Don't worry about him
Do without him
Because there's too many fish in the sea
Too many fish in the sea
I said, there's short ones, tall ones, fine ones, kind ones
Too many fish in the sea

Well, if the fish isn't on your line
Bait your hook and keep on trying
Don't let him get you down
There's other boys around
Because there's too many fish in the sea
Too many fish in the sea
I said, there's short ones, tall ones, fine ones, kind ones
Too many fish in the sea

I don't want nobody that don't want me
'Cause there's too many fish in the sea
Ain't gonna love nobody that don't love me, now
'Cause there's too many fish in the sea
I don't need nobody that don't need me
'Cause there's too many fish in the sea
I don't want nobody that don't love me, now
'Cause there's too many fish in the sea

If you ever change your mind
About leaving, leaving me behind
Bring it to me, bring your sweet loving,
bring it on home to me, yeah

You know I tried to treat you right
But, you stay out, stay out every night
Bring it to me, bring your sweet lovin
Bring it on home to me.

But now I know I only hurt myself
Baby, bring it to me,
Bring your sweet loving

I'll give you jewelry and money too
That ain't all, all I do for you,
Baby if you bring it to me,

Bring it on home to me, oh honey

You know I'll always be your slave
'til I'm buried, buried in my grave
Bring it to me, bring your sweet loving,
bring it on home to me.

But I forgive you, yeah
