Les Voyages de Sylvie

Michael talking to audience

I'd like to talk to y'all tonight
About the blues
One of Michaels Brothers:The blues?
Yer the blues
Dont nobody have the blues like i have
I may be young but i know what its all about

And this is how it went down
I met a girl at school one day
Yer in the sandbox
Brothers:sandbox?!
We toasted our love during milk break
Brothers:aw man
I gave her my COOKIES!
Brothers:Come on Mike!
We fell out during singin' plan
So one day, I stepped up to her and i said


When I had you
I treated you bad and wrong my dear
And since, since you been gone

(chorus)
Don't you know I sit around
With my head hanging down
And I wonder who's lovin' you

I should have never, ever
ever made you cry

And and girl since yer since you been gone

(chorus)

(bridge)
Life with out love, huh...
It's oh so lonely
I don't think, I don't think! I'm gonna make it

All my life, all my life baby yeah I've been lost to you only
Come on

Seems like yesterday
You were in my arms
And in a special way
You touched my heart with all your charms.
Now you’re gone
And I find myself
Baby, I’m all alone
And there’s no love left.

Hey! hey!

Don’t know why I failed.
For you I’ve always cared
And I did all I know
To win your love and make it so
You’d always stay
But you turned away.
Honey, what could I say?
How could you
How could you do me this way?

Cuz I’m chained
To your love and affection.
Chained cuz your love
Is my only direction

Huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh.
I’ve got to make it right
Somehow it all went wrong

Somewhere down the line
The love I lost
The love I gotta find
Whoah! and it won’t be long
I’ve gotta make it right baby
And carry you tenderly back home.
I’m chained
To your love and affection.
Baby, chained to your love.
When I hear your name
How I tremble, how I tremeble, yeah.
Honey, you know, honey, you know, yeah.

Now I admit that i
Haven’t been the perfect guy
For a girl as sweet as you
But my heart and soul cries out to you.

One more chance that’s all I need
I’m gonna make it right, baby,
Now you just stay won’t you stay with me?

Cuz I’m chained
To your love and afection.
Baby, I’m chained cuz your love
Is my only direction.
I’m chained...

Your love is fading
I can feel it fading
Girl, it's fading away from me.
'cause your touch, your touch has grown cold
As if someone else controls your very soul.
I've fooled myself long as I can
And I can feel the presence
Of another man.

Girl, when you speak my name
It's just not the same.
Oh, little girl, I'm losing you.
It's in the air.
It's everywhere.
Oh, baby, I'm losing you.

When I look into your eyes
A reflection of a face I see.
I'm hurt, down-hearted and worried, girl
'cause that face doesn't belong to me.

It' all over your face
Someone's taking my place
Oh, little girl, I'm losing you.
It's hard to hide
The emptiness inside
Oh, little girl, I'm losing you.
I can tell when we kiss
From the tenderness I miss
Oh, baby, I'm losing you.
I can feel it in my bones
Any day you'll be gone
Ooh, baby, I'm losing you.

Oh, baby, what happened to the love we shared
Ooh, baby, I'm losing you.
I don't wanna lose you, girl...

Stand in the end you'll still be you
One thats done all the things you've set out to do
Stand theres a cross for you to bear
things to go through if you're going anywhere
(Everybody Say):
Stand for the things you know are right
it's the truth that the truth makes them so uptight
Stand all the things you want are real
you have you to complete and there is no big deal.
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Oom bah bah bah Oom bah bah bah
Stand! Stand!
Huh! ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya
Stand! ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya
Stand they will try to make you crawl
And they know what they're saying makes no sense at all
Stand don't you know that you are free?
Well, at least in your mind if you want to be.
(Everybody Say):
Huh! Hah! ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya

Stop! Na na na! You'd better save it!
Stop, stop, stop, you'd better save it!

Michael: When we played tag in grade school
You wanted to be It.
But chasing boys was just a fad
You crossed your heart you'd quit.

When we grew up you traded
Your promise for my ring
Now just like back to grade school
You're doing the same old thing!

CHORUS:
Stop! The love you save may be your own!
Darling, take it slow
Or some day you'll be all alone.
You'd better stop the love you save may be your own!
Darling, look both ways before you cross me
You're headed for the danger zone.

Michael: I'm the one who loves you!
I'm the one you need!

Jermaine: Those other guys will put you down
As soon as they succeed!

Michael: They'll ruin your reputation!
They'll label you a flirt!

Jermaine: The way they talk about you
They'll turn your name to dirt, oh!

Second verse:
Michael: Isaac said he kissed you
Beneath the apple tree
When Benjie held your hand he felt
E-lec-tri-ci-tee!
When Alexander called you
He said he rang your chimes.
Christopher discovered
You're way ahead of your times!


CHORUS:
Stop! The love you save may be your own!
Darling, take it slow
Or some day you'll be all alone.
You'd better stop the love you save may be your own!
Darling, look both ways before you cross me
You're headed for a danger zone.

BRIDGE:

Slow down.
Slow down.
Slow down.

S is for "Save it"
T is for "Take it slow"

Jermaine: Baby! Ooooh!
Michael: Youu better stop the love you save may be your own

Michael: You'd better stop! the love you save may be your own!
Jermaine: Please, please
Or some day, some day baby,
You'll be all alone

Michael: I'm the one who loves you!
I'm the one you need!

Jermaine: Those other guys will put you down as soon as they succeed. (Michael:
