The Wiz (Disc 1) soundtrack lyrics -- The Feeling That We Have .. Charlie Smalls


Put your arms around me child
Like when you bumped your shin
Then you'll know I love you now
As I loved you then

Though you maybe trying sometimes
And I'll need you
And you're not there
You know I may get mad
And turn away
But you know that I still care

But you cannot ask for more
Than can come from me
I am older than you are
And one day you'll see

If I lose my patience with you
And I suddenly start to scream
It's only because I just want you to be
Everything that I see in my dreams

And I'd like to know it's there
The feeling that we have
When you know that you can come
Running to me
Whenever times are bad

Don't lose the feeling that we have
Don't lose the feeling that we have

Though you are growing older now
And I'm watching you grow
I know I make you sad sometimes
And I see your feeling show

But one day I'll look around
And you will be grown
You'll be out in the world
Such a pretty girl
You'll be on your own

And I'd like to know it's there
The feeling that we have
Knowing that you can come to me
Whenever you are sad

And I'd like to know it's there
The feeling that we have
Don't lose the feeling that we have
Don't lose the feeling that we have
Don't lose the feeling that we have


The Wiz (Disc 1) soundtrack lyrics -- Can I Go On .. Quincy Jones


Lose it?
Lose it?
I don't even know the first thing
About what they're feeling
What am I afraid of?
Don't know what I'm made of
Can I go on
Not knowing?

Feeling?
Feeling?
Something tells me
That it's more than I can deal with
Though I never knew the song
Some words still catch on
Like caring and sharing
Being together no matter

Can I go on
Not knowing?
Don't know what I'm made of
Why am I afraid of feeling?
Feeling?
If I dare to take a chance
Would someone lead me?

The Wiz (Disc 1) soundtrack lyrics -- He's The Wizard .. Charlie Smalls


Sweet thing,
Let me tell you 'bout
The world and the way things are.
You've come from a different place
And I know you've traveled far.
Now that you've told me what it is,
I'd better point you towards the Wiz.

He's the Wiz,
He's the man,
He's the only one,
Who can give your wish right to ya.
He's the Wizard.
He'll send you back through time
By running magic through ya.
All of the super power's his.
Listen and I'll tell you where he is.

He's the Wiz and he lives in Oz.
He's the Wizard.
There's the way to Emerald City.
That's not too far, is it?
He's the Wizard.
Just take your dilemma, child,
And lay it on the Wizard.
He'll fix you a drink
That'll bubble and foam.
And in a flash
you will be home.

He's the Wiz.
He's the Wiz.
He's the Wizard of Oz
He's got magic up his sleeve
He's the Wizard
And you know without his help,
It would be impossible to leave
Fantastic powers at his command
And I'm sure that he will understand

He's the Wiz and he lives in Oz

Sweet thing,
Let me tell you 'bout
The world and the way things are
I'm gonna point you towards the Wiz

He's the Wiz
Fantastic powers at his command
And I'm sure that he will understand

He's the Wiz and he lives in Oz

Sweet thing,
Let me tell you 'bout
The world and the way things are
You've come from a different place
And I know you've traveled far.
Now that you've told me what it is,
I'd better point you towards the Wiz.

He's the Wiz!


The Wiz (Disc 1) soundtrack lyrics -- Soon As I Get home / Home .. Charlie Smalls


Miss One?
Munchkins?

There's a feeling here inside
That I cannot hide
And I know I've tried
But it's turning me around

I'm not sure that I'm aware
If I'm up or down
Or here or there
I need both feet on the ground

Maybe I'm just going crazy
Let myself get uptight
I'm acting just like a baby
But I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be alright

Soon as I get home
Soon as I get home
Soon as I get home

In a different place
In a different time
Different people around me
I would like to know of that different world
And how different they find me

And just what's a Wiz
Is he big, will he scare me?
If I ask to leave
Will the Wiz even hear me?
How will I know then
If I'll ever get home again?

Here I am alone
Though it feels the same
I don't know where I'm going
I'm here on my own
And it's not a game
And a strange wind is blowing

I'm so amazed
At the things that I see here
Don't want to be afraid
I just don't want to be afraid
I just don't want to be here
In my mind this is clear
What am I doing here?

I wish I was home

I wish
I wish
I wish


The Wiz (Disc 1) soundtrack lyrics -- You Can't Win .. Charlie Smalls


You can't win
You can't break even
And you can't get out of the game
People keep sayin'
Things are gonna change
But they look just like they're staying the same
You get in
Way over your head
And you've only got yourself to blame

You can't win, chile
You can't break even
And you can't get out of the game

You can't win
The world keeps movin'
And you're standin' far behind
People keep sayin'
Things 'll get better
Just to ease your state of mind
So you lay back
And you smoke that smoke
And you drink your glass of wine

You can't win, chile
You can't break even
And you can't get out of the game

You can't win
You can't win
No way if your story stays the same
You ain't winnin'
But it's nice to see you
I'm awfully glad you came
Better cool it
'Cause it ain't about losin'
Then the world has got no shame

You can't win, chile
You can't break even
And you can't get out of the game

You can't win
You can't win
You can't break even
Ain't the way
It's supposed to be
You'll be spendin'
Your little bit of money
While someone else ride free
Learn your lesson, refuel your mind
Before some turkey blows out your flame


The Wiz (Disc 1) soundtrack lyrics -- Ease On Down The Road #1 .. Charlie Smalls


Ease on down
Ease on down the road
Ease on down
Ease on down the road
Ease on down
Ease on down the road

Come on Dorothy,
Don't you carry nothing that might be a load
Come on

Don't you carry nothing that might be a load

Come on, ease on down, ease on down the road
Don't you carry nothing that might be a load

Pick your left foot up
When your right foot's down
Come on legs keep movin'
Don't you lose no ground
You just keep on keepin'
On the road that you choose
Don't you give up walkin'
'Cause you gave up shoes, no

Ease on down, ease on down the road
Come on, ease on down, ease on down the road
Don't you carry nothing that might be a load
Come on, ease on down, ease on down the road

'Cause there maybe times
When you think you lost your mind
And the steps you're takin'
Leave you three, four steps behind
But the road you're walking
Might be long sometimes
You just keep on steppin'
And you'll be just fine, yeah

Ease on down, ease on down the road
Come on, ease on down, ease on down the road
Don't you carry nothing that might be a load

Oh, there maybe times
When you wish you wasn't born
And you wake one morning
Just to find that your courage's gone
But just know that feeling
Only last a little while
You just stick with us
And we'll show you how to smile, yeah

Get 'em up, goin' down, ease on down
Get 'em up, goin' down, ease on down
Get 'em up, goin' down, ease on down

Get 'em up, goin' down, ease on down
Get 'em up, goin' down, ease on down
Get 'em up, goin' down, ease on down
Get 'em up, get 'em up, ease on down the road


The Wiz (Disc 1) soundtrack lyrics -- What Would I Do If I Could Feel? .. Charlie Smalls


What would I do
If I could suddenly feel
And to know once again
That what I feel is real?

I could cry
I could smile
I might lay back for a while
Oh, tell me what
What would I do if I could feel?

What would I do
If I could reach inside of me
And to know how it feels
To say I like what I see?

Then I'd be more
than glad to share
All that I have inside of here
And the songs
My heart might bring
You'd be more
Than glad to sing
And if tears should fall from my eyes
Just think of all the wounds
They could mend
And just think of all the time
I could spend
Just being vuln'rable again
Oh, tell me what
What would I do?
Oh, tell me what
What would I do?
Oh, tell me what
What would I do
If I could feel?


The Wiz (Disc 1) soundtrack lyrics -- Slide Some Oil To Me .. Charlie Smalls


Slide some oil to me
Let it trickle down my spine
If you don't have S.T.P.
Crisco will do just fine

Slide some to my elbows
And to my fingers if you would
Slide some oil to me, girl
Whoo! Don't that feel good!

Slide some oil to my feet, look
I got toes again
Come on and slide some oil to my knees
And let me see if I can bend

Slide some oil to me
I'm beginning to feel just fine
Slide some oil down my throat
And let me lubricate my mind

Slide some oil to me
go ahead, hit my shoulder blades
Those who don't have to lubricate
Sure got it made
Slide some oil to me
Let it slip down my side
Laying there in one position
Sure does make me tired

Now watch me dance!

And let me lubricate my mind


The Wiz (Disc 1) soundtrack lyrics -- Ease On Down The Road #2 .. Charlie Smalls


Come on!

'Cause there may be times
When you think you lost your mind
And each steps you're takin'
Leave you three, four steps behind

'Cause the road you're walking
Might be long sometimes
But just keep on steppin'
And you'll be just fine

Ease on down
Ease on down the road
Come on, ease on down
Ease on down the road

Don't you carry nothing
That might be a load
Come on, ease on down
Ease on down the road

Come on, ease on down, ease on down the road
Come on, ease on down, ease on down the road
Come on, ease on down, ease on down the road
Come on, ease on down, ease on down the road


The Wiz (Disc 1) soundtrack lyrics -- (I'm A) Mean Ole Lion .. Charlie Smalls


Say what you wanna
But I'm here to stay
'Cause I'm a mean ole lion
You can go where you're gonna
But don't get in my way
I'm a mean ole lion

You'll be standing in a draft
If you don't hear me laugh
And if you happen to come around
Well, you best not make me frown
For I just might knock you down
I'm a mean ole lion

You know I'm ready to fight
And turn your day into night
'Cause I'm a mean ole lion
If you're half bright
You'll detour to the right
From a mean ole lion

All you strangers better beware
This is the king of the jungle here
And if I happen to let you slide
Don't just stand here
Run and hide
You just caught my better side

I'm a mean ole lion

Look,
You better beware
This is the king of the jungle here
And if I happen to let you slide
Don't stand here
Run and hide
You just caught my better side

I'm a mean ole lion
I'm a mean ole lion


The Wiz (Disc 1) soundtrack lyrics -- Ease On Down The Road #3 .. Charlie Smalls


Oh there maybe times
When you wish you wasn't born.
And you wake one morning
Just to find your courage gone.
But just know that feelin'
Only lasts a little while,
You stick with us
And we'll show you how to smile!

Ease on down, ease on down the Road!
Come on ease on down, ease on down the road!
Ease on down, ease on down the road
Don't you carry nothin'
That might be a load...
Come on, ease on down,
Ease on down the road!
Ease on down, ease on down the road!!!
