What’s Going On
Marvin Gaye

Mother, mother
There’s too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother
There’s far too many of you dying
You know we’ve got to find a way
To bring some lovin’ here today, eheh
Father, father
We don’t need to escalate
You see, war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we’ve got to find a way
To bring some lovin’ here today, oh oh oh
Picket lines and picket signs
Don’t punish me with brutality
Talk to me, so you can see
Oh, what’s going on
What’s going on
Yeah, what’s going on
Ah, what’s going on
In the mean time
Right on, baby
Right on brother
Right on babe
Mother, mother, everybody thinks we’re wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us
Simply ’cause our hair is long
Oh, you know we’ve got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today
Oh oh oh
Picket lines and picket signs
Don’t punish me with brutality
C’mon talk to me
So you can see
What’s going on
Yeah, what’s going on
Tell me what’s going on
I’ll tell you what’s going on, ooh ooo ooo ooo
Right on baby
Right on baby

Smokey Robinson & The Miracles
“The Tracks Of My Tears”

People say I’m the life of the party
Because I tell a joke or two
Although I might be laughing loud and hearty
Deep inside I’m blue

So take a good look at my face
You’ll see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer, it’s easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
I need you, need you

Since you left me if you see me with another girl
Seeming like I’m having fun
Although she may be cute
She’s just a substitute
Because you’re the permanent one

So take a good look at my face
You’ll see my smile looks out of place
If you look a little bit closer, it’s easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
I need you, need you

Outside I’m masquerading
Inside my hope is fading
Just a clown oh yeah
Since you put me down
My smile is my make up
I wear since my break up with you

So baby take a good look at my face
You’ll see my smile looks out of place
Yeah just look closer, it’s easy to trace
The tracks of my tears, baby, baby

Baby take a good look at my face
You’ll see my smile looks out of place
Oh look a little bit closer, it’s easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

Smokey Robinson
“Shop Around”
(with The Miracles)

When I became of age my mother called me to her side,
She said,”Son, you’re growing up now pretty soon you’ll take a bride.
And then she said, “Just because you’ve become a young man now,
There’s still somethings that you don’t understand now,
Before you ask some girl for her hand now
Keep your freedom for as long as you can now.”

My mama told me, “You better shop around, (shop, shop)
Oh yeah, you better shop around.” (shop, shop around)

Aha, got some things that I want you to know now.
Just as sure as the winds gonna blow now
The women come and the women gonna go now
Before you tell em that you love em so now.

My mama told me, “You better shop around, (shop, shop)
Oh yeah, you better shop around.” (shop, shop around)

A try to get yourself a bargain son.
Don’t be sold on the very first one.
A pretty girls come a dime a dozen,
A try to find one who’s gonna give you true lovin’

Before you take a girl and say I do, now,
Make sure she’s in love with-a you now.
My mama told me, “You better shop around.”

[Instrumental]

Ooh yeah, you try to get yourself a bargain son.
Don’t be sold on the very first one.
A pretty girls come a dime a dozen,
I gotta find one who’s gonna give you true lovin’.

Before you take a girl and say I do, now,
Make sure she’s in love with you now.
Make sure that her love is true now.
I hate to see you feelin’ sad and blue now.”

My mama told me, “You better shop around (shop, shop)
Aha, Don’t let the first one get you
Oh no cause I don’t want to see her with you
Aha, Before you let her hold you tight, ah yeah yeah make sure shes alright
Before you let her take your hand my son
Understand my son, be a man my son I know you can my son

The Temptations
“I Wish It Would Rain”

Hmmm
Sunshine, blue skies, please go away.
My girl has found another and gone away.
With her went my future, my life is filled with gloom.
So day after day, I stayed locked up in my room.
I know to you it might sound strange.
But I wish it would rain. (How I wish that it would rain)
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

‘Cause so badly I wanna go outside. (Such a lovely day)
But everyone knows that a man ain’t suppose to cry, listen.
I gotta cry ’cause cryin’ eases the pain, oh yeah.
People this hurt I feel inside, words can never explain.
I just wish it would rain. (Oh, how I wish that it would rain)

Oh, let it rain.
Rain, rain, rain (Oh, how I wish that it would rain)
Ooo, baby. Let it rain.
(Let it rain) Oh yeah, let it rain.

Day in, day out, my tear stained face
Pressed against the window pane.
My eyes search the skies, desperately for rain.
‘Cause raindrops will hide my teardrops.
And no one will ever know.
That I’m cryin’… cryin’ when I go outside.
To the world outside my tears, I refuse to explain.
Oh, I wish it would rain. (Oh, how I wish that it would rain)
Ooo, baby.

Let it rain, let it rain.
I need rain to disguise the tears in my eyes.
Oh, let it rain.
Oh, yeah, yeah listen.
I’m a man and I got my pride.
Give me rain or I’m gonna stay inside.
Let it rain.

(Let it rain)
(Let it (rain) (rain) (rain) rain, rain)

You are now in Club Sheba

@bichon18,

I will some wonderful Motown Music for you. ♥ I hope Jerry and you party on tonight.
Everyone just sit back and don’t think just relax.

Hi Sheba! Hope You have a great day as well! I appreciate your messages within your picture art. It is always appropriate. This is the 2nd time I am posting this hope its not poofed this time.

Hi Sheba… Thanks for the Skinn schedule I have used for many years and love the products. I hope you and your family are doing well. I drop by from time to time. I read your thred a lot I don’t post a lot because I don’t want to post in the wrong place and mess up your messages.

Meow❤️😻❤️;

Very nice choice for your coupon. Mine went for the dazzling delight in the gold which looks very basic to meet and will get lots of use.

My flight to the Netherlands was quite uneventful as was the returning flight from a Brussels. We were comfortable sleeping, reading and watching movies. Flying is not my greatest joy.

How do you feel?

Amy

Hello and thank you for Ari’s dressed in attitude picture. It is great you ordered those earrings. You can wear them beautifully. I think you have dark hair. I can imagine them on you. Heidi makes looks and styles for one and all.

Had my swim today with Peloton yesterday. Jerry did a 45-minute Peloton today with very strong cadence AND resistance. Mine are not even close but I can do what I can and strengthen a tad each time. Tonight the club has a dance. Our reservation is at 7:30-8:00. The reservations start at six. Wycliffe midnight is at 10. We will eat, dance and come home to Ari. I got the new Heidi Patriotic Heart pin which I will wear on a blue cord. As long as the band plays some decent Motown beats; I will consider it a party. Truthfully, I could stay home.

Ari is snoring next to me. He is dreaming about Poppy

Enjoy the company

Amy

Thanks for the skinn gallery and schedule. Love it! Hey, I recognize one of those “hsn customer” reviews! 😀 I may get the neck cream or the non-negotiables.

@Sheba,

Good morning and Happy Memorial Day to you too! I hope you have fun at your gatherings this weekend. No, unfortunately we won’t be traveling to see MIL this weekend. We hope we can soon. Staying close to home for the time being.

Wow! I am surprised to hear how many of us are uncomfortable with flying! I think maybe Taci is fine with it! I am much better with flying now, I just worry about health issues on the plane and the stress of the whole thing effecting me. I’m hoping that will change and when it does, I’m going somewhere…

Either it’s a busy weekend or others are having problems signing in or getting the proper times for posting too. I must say it is highly irritating to not be able to see any current posts even when you know they are there or to have to keep signing in over and over and over. I sure hope HSN gets that bug worked out soon. I tried shoelady’s trick and it only worked once. Oh well, as you and my wise mother would say, “This too shall pass”, right? 😀

I love your new earrings! They would not work on me. I think one needs height to carry those off. They will be great on you! 😀 I have a coupon and am deciding between a ring marked down on clearance or the dazzling delight Heidi necklace in olivine. The ring is black rhodium plated with a white pearl and topaz stones; very edgy looking and will go perfectly with a gunmetal tone wide collar bib style necklace with white pearls that I have. There are also earrings to go with the ring. Very unique and just what I have been looking for to go with that necklace. I’ve had them both in my faves for a long time. I need to make a decision…

Well, I am off for my walk and hopefully tonight I will get another walk in. I was going to get my labs done this morning but I kept falling back to sleep so it looks like Monday. I hope the results get to the Dr by Wednesday and I hope they are good. I hope Jerry’s blood work was good. Hey Sheba, how are your Dad, sister and BIL doing? I hope they are ok and hopeful. I’ve been thinking about them. It is so hard to see them go through this, I know. I’ve been there (as you know) and I know what you are facing. I know to keep going you don’t want to talk about it and I understand but just know I am here, even if only on the sidelines to quietly keep you and your family in my prayers.

Have a good day with your family and Poppy! 😀
