I'm Coming Out
By Diana Ross




I'm coming out
I'm coming
I'm coming out
I'm coming out
I'm coming out
I'm coming out

I'm coming out
I want the world to know
Got to let it show
I'm coming out
I want the world to know
I got to let it show

There's a new me coming out
And I just had to live
And I wanna give
I'm completely positive
I think this time around
I am gonna do it
Like you never do it
Like you never knew it
Ooh, I'll make it through

The time has come for me
To break out of the shell
I have to shout
That I'm coming out

I'm coming out
I want the world to know
Got to let it show
I'm coming out
I want the world to know
I got to let it show

I'm coming out
I want the world to know
Got to let it show
I'm coming out
I want the world to know
I got to let it show

I've got to show the world
All that I wanna be
And all my billities
Ther's so much more to me
Somehow, I have to make them
Just understand
I got it well in hand
And, oh, how I've planned
I'm spreadin' love
There's no need to fear
And I just feel so glad
Everytime I hear:

I'm coming out
I want the world to know
Got to let it show
I'm coming out
I want the world to know
I got to let it show

8. Ruth Brown: If I Can't Sell It, I'll Keep Sittin' on It;

I own a secondhand furniture store and I think my prices are fair, Course this real cheap guy I know came in one day. Saw this chair he wanted to buy, but he wouldn't, claimed the price was too high. So I looked straight in the eye, and this was my reply... If I can't sell it, I'm gonna sit down on it. I ain't gonna give it away. Now darling if you want it, you're gonna have to buy it. And I mean just what I say. Now how would you like to find this waitin at home for you every night. Only been used once or twice but it's still nice and TIGHT! Whoa... So if I can't sell it, I'm gonna keep sittin on it. I ain't gonna give it away. Now you can't find a better pair of legs in town and a back like this, huh, not for miles around. And that is why if I can't sell it, I'm going to recline upon it. Why should I give it away? Because it's made for comfort, built for wear and tear. Where else could you find such an easy chair! Haa... Whoa... If I can't sell it, darling I'm gonna sit down on it. I don't see the need to give it away. Because it's lush, plush, slick and sleak. Darling, a high class speech like this at any price is cheap! So if I can't sell it, I'm gonna sit back down on it. Why should I give it away? Now look at this nice bottom, ain't it easy on the eye, guaranteed to support any weight or size! Whoa... If I can't sell it, I'm just gonna keep sittin on it. Don't ask me to give it away. Now, I have really had my fill of folks always comin around with their hands stuck out, wantin something, don't want to give up nothing. Now if you want this, put your hand in your stash and give me some cash. Now if you want something for free, go to the Salvation Army, don't come runnin to me. Now this is not Saint Paul's place, this is Ruth's place. Read my lips. NO FREE TRIPS! And you can look at me and see I have not been starvin darling. Now I have a few daimonds that I haven't even taken off to dust lately. Now you are not getting anything around here for free. Show me the color of your money.
GOODBYE!

9. Elvis Costello - Mystery Dance Lyrics

Romeo was restless, he was ready to kill.
He jumped out the window cause he couldn't sit still.
Juliet was waiting with a safety net.
He said don't bury me cause I'm not dead yet.

Why don't you tell me 'bout the mystery dance.
I wanna know about the mystery dance.
Why don't you show me,
'cause I've tried and I've tried,
And I'm still mystified.
I can't do it anymore and I'm not satisfied.
I can't do it anymore and I'm not satisfied.

Well I remember when the lights went out
And I was tryin' to make it look like it was never in doubt.
She thought that I knew, and I thought that she knew,
So both of us were willing, but we didn't know how to do it.

Chorus

Well I was down under the covers in the middle of the night,
Tryin' to discover my left foot from my right.
You can see those pictures in any magazine.
But what's the use of looking when you don't know what they
mean.

Chorus

I'm gonna walk right up to heaven dodgeing lightning rods
I'm gonna have this very personal conversation with god
I said you got the information, why don't you say so?
He'll say well I've been around and I still don't know.

Chorus
