The Commitments soundtrack lyrics -- Mustang Sally .. Andrew Strong


Mustang Sally - Guess you better slow the Mustang down
Mustang Sally now Baby - Guess you better slow the Mustang down
Your run of no return - Oh I guess you gotta put your flat feet on the ground

All you wanna do is ride around Sally - Ride, Sally, Ride 4x
Won't you be a fairly morning - I'm gonna be whapping those weeping eyes

I bought two brandnew Mustangs - You bound to nat on sixty fires
Now you come around to see and fine walk - Girl you walk, you walk, let me ride

Mustang Sally now Baby - Guess you better slow the Mustang down
Your run of no return - Oh I guess you gotta put your flat feet on the ground

All you wanna do is ride around Sally - Ride, Sally, Ride 4x
Won't you be a fairly morning - I'm gonna be whapping those weeping eyes

Those weeping eyes
Those weeping eyes

The Commitments soundtrack lyrics -- The Dark End Of The Street .. Andrew Strong


At the dark end of the street
that is where we always meet
hiding in shadows where we don't belong
living in darkness, to hide alone

You and me, at the dark end of the street
You and me

I know a time has gonna take it's toll
we have to pay for the love we stole
It's a sin and we know it's wrong
Oh, our love keeps going on strong

Steal away to the dark end of the street
You and me

They gonna find us, they gonna find us
They gonna find us love someday

You and me, at the dark end of the street
You and me

When the daylight all goes around
And by chance we're both down the town
Please meet, just walk, walk on by
Oh, darling, please don't you cry

You and me, at the dark end of the street
You and me


The Commitments soundtrack lyrics -- Destination: Anywhere .. Niamh Kavanagh


Said to the man at the railroad station,
"I want a ticket, just for one."
He said, "Well, if you insist. Where you wanna go, Miss?"

Oh, destination anywhere
East or west, I don't care
You see my baby don't love me no more
This old world ain't got no back door

He looked at me with a funny face and said,
"Are you sure you wanna go just anyplace?"
I said, "If you ever loved someone, the way I loved that man,
Surely Mr. ticket agent, you should understand."

Destination anywhere
East or west, I don't care
You see my baby don't want me no more
This old world ain't got no back door

'Cause every day, it would swing both ways
And we'd go on back to happy yesterdays
When I loved him tenderly
And all he needed was me.

As I stepped through the window of the train
I thought I heard my baby call my name
But it was just the conductor saying,
"Which stop would you prefer?"

Oh, destination anywhere
East or west, I don't care
You see my baby don't love me no more
This old world ain't got no back door

Destination anywhere
East or west, I don't care
Destination anywhere
East or west, I don't care
Destination anywhere
East or west, I don't care
Destination anywhere
East or west, I don't care
(ad lib to end)


The Commitments soundtrack lyrics -- I Can't Stand The Rain .. Angeline Ball


I can't stand the rain 'gainst my window
Bringing back sweet memories
Ican't stand the rain 'gainst my window
'Cause he's not here with me
Hey window pain do you remember
How sweet it used to be
When we were together
Everything was so grand, yes it was
Now that we've parted
There's one sound that I just can't stand...
Alone with the pillow
Where his head used to lay, yeah

I wanna tell you a story every man oughta know

If you want a little lovin' you gotta start real slow

She gonna love you tonight, if you just treat her right
Oh squeeze her real gentle, you gotta make her feel good

The Commitments soundtrack lyrics -- Do Right Woman Do Right Man .. Niamh Kavanagh


Take me to heart
And I'll always love you
And nobody can make me do wrong
But take me for granted, leaving your love unshown
Makes will power weak and temptation strong

A woman's only human
This you should understand
She's not just a plaything
She's flesh and blood, just like her man
And if you want a do right all day woman
You've gotta be a do right all night man


The Commitments soundtrack lyrics -- Mr. Pitiful .. Andrew Strong


They call me Mr. Pitiful
Baby that's my name
They call me Mr. Pitiful
That's how I got my fame

But nobody seems to understand now
What makes a man feel so blue
They call me Mr pitiful cause I lost someone just like you.

They call me Mr. Pitiful
This everybody knows now
They call me Mr. Pitiful
Most everyplace I go now.

But nobody seems to understand now,
How can a man sing such a sad song
When he lost everything when he lost everything

How can I explain to you
How somebody actin' so very blue
How can I tell you about my thing
Aww, that's what they do.

Mr Pitiful
That's my name now
They call me Mr. Pitiful
That's how I got my fame

But nobody seems to understand
what make a man sing such a sad song
They call me Mr. Pitiful cause I m in love with you

Can I explain to you
Everything is going wrong
I've lost everything i had
I have to sing this sad song
To get back to her
And I m gonna sing this song to you
And i want you
And I want you
And I want you
And I want you
(And I wanna tell you everything is going through my mind)
And I want to sing
And I want to sing
And I want to sing
And I want to sing this song with you
(And I wanna sing this song to everyone)
Cause I want them to understand what I talkin about
I want you to understand what I'm sayin...


The Commitments soundtrack lyrics -- I Never Loved A Man .. Maria Doyle


(The Way I Love You)

You're a no good heart breaker
You're a liar and you're a cheat
And I don't know why
I let you do these things to me
My friends keep telling me
That you ain't no good
But oh, they don't know
That I'd leave you if I could

I guess I'm uptight
And I'm stuck like glue
Cause I ain't never
I ain't never, I ain't never, no, no (loved a man)
(The way that I, I love you)

Some time ago I thought
You had run out of fools
But I was so wrong
You got one that you'll never lose
The way you treat me is a shame
How could ya hurt me so bad
Baby, you know that I'm the best thing
That you ever had
Kiss me once again

Don'cha never, never say that we we're through
Cause I ain't never
Never, Never, no, no (loved a man)
(The way that I, I love you)

I can't sleep at night
And I can't even fight
I guess I'll never be free
Since you got, your hooks, in me

Whoa, oh, oh
Yeah! Yeah!
I ain't never loved a man
I ain't never loved a man, baby
Ain't never had a man hurt me so bad

No
Well this is what I'm gonna do about it


The Commitments soundtrack lyrics -- In The Midnight Hour .. Andrew Strong


I'm gonna wait til the midnight hour
That's when my love comes tumblin' down
I'm gonna wait 'til the midnight hour
When there's no one else around
I'm gonna take you girl and hold you
And do all the things I told you
In the midnight hour

Yes I am, oh, yes, I am

::verse two:::

I'm gonna wait 'til the stars come out
And see that twinkle in your eyes
I'm gonna wait 'til the midnight hour
That's when my love begins to shine
You're the only girl I know
That really loves me so
In the midnight hour
Oh, yeah, in the midnight hour

Instrumental:

(repeat verse 1)

Just you and I... oh, baby, hah!
Just you and I... nobody around, baby, just you and I
All right... you know what?
I'm gonna hold you in my arms...
Just you and I, oh yeah
In the midnight hour
Oh, baby, in the midnight hour (fade)

The Commitments soundtrack lyrics -- Slip Away .. The Commitments


What would I give for just a few moments
What would I give just to have you near
Tell me you would try to slip away somehow
Oh I need you darling I want to see you right now
Can you slip away, slip away
Slip away, oh I need you so
Oh love oh love, how sweet it is
When you still involve it
Let me tell you how sweet it is
Now I know it's wrong,
The things I ask you to do
But please believe me darling
I don't mean to hurt you
But can you slip away
Without him knowin you're gone
Baby we could meet somewhere,
Somewhere we both are not known
Can you slip away, slip away,
Slip away-ay-ay-ay I need you so
Oh can you slip away baby
I'd like to see you right now darling
Can you slip away baby
Cause I got to, got to see you
I feel a deep burning inside
Oh I wish you could slip away...
