I wanna tell you, baby
The changes I've been going through
Missing you
Missing you

Oh, oh
Till you come back to me
I don't know what I'm gonna do
N-n-n-no, n-n-no

Don't you remember
You told me you loved me, baby
You said
You'd be coming back this way again, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Oh, baby
I love you
Yeah, I really do

Long ago
And oh, so far away
I fell in love with you
Before the second show

And your guitar
And you sound so sweet and clear
But you're not really here
It's just the radio

Don't you remember
You told me you loved me, baby
You said
You'd be coming back this way again, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Oh, baby, yeah
I love you
I really do

Whoa, ho, oh, whoa, ho, ho
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah

You looked for me to be yours
You want my love
But you're on the road
Don't you remember me anymore

Loneliness is such a sad affair
A sad affair
And I can hardly wait
To be with you again

And what to say
To say
To make you come again
Oh, honey
Come on back to me again, yeah, hey
I wanna be
I wanna be anywhere you are

Don't you remember
You told me you loved me, baby
You said
You'd be coming back this way again, baby
Baby, baby, baby
Woo, baby, oh, baby
Yes, I love you
I really do

Yeah, hey
Yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh
Play it easy
Play it easy
Keep it right there
Keep it right there
Keep it right there

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
What are you gonna say?
It's alright
It's alright

Ooh, baby, it's alright
It's alright
Alright now

Keep it right there
Keep it right there
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

It's alright
It's alright
Ooh, baby, it's alright
It's alright

Say it's alright
It's alright
Say, ooh, baby
It's alright, it's alright

All right now
Eah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Eah, ooh, ooh, yeah

Say it's alright

I used to be sad
But now it's alright
It's alright
Ooh, baby
It's alright
It's alright
Alright now

I wonder
I wonder
Where are you again tonight?
Are you holding someone else real tight?
I wonder
I wonder, I wonder

Luther Vandross

Luther Vandross (April 20, 1951 – July 1, 2005) was a Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter and record producer who made “Luther” a household name in the 1980s with his tenor tone on #1 R&B hits such as “Never Too Much,” “Stop To Love,” “Any Love,” and “Here and Now.” He continued the hits into the ‘90s with “Power of Love/Love Power” and his duet with Janet Jackson “The Best Things in Life are Free.” He also released the hit song “Dance With My Father” in 2003, which went on to win Song of the Year at the 2004 Grammy Awards while the album of the same name peaked at #1 on the Billboard charts and also won a Grammy for Best R&B Album. During his career, he won eight Grammy Awards, sold over 30 million albums and also produced hits for other artists such as Aretha Franklin (“Jump To It” and “Get It Right”).

Luther broke into the music business as a background singer in the 1970s for artists such as David Bowie, Chaka Khan, Diana Ross, Chic, Sister Sledge, Barbra Streisand and Donna Summer among others. He was also a vocal arranger and songwriter, creating songs such as “Everybody Rejoice (Brand New Day)” used in the Broadway musical The Wiz. After releasing two albums with the group Luther in 1976 and 1977, his profile began to rise with his lead features on the group Change’s 1980 hits “Searching” and “The Glow of Love.” Luther’s debut album Never Too Much was released in 1981 and hit #1 on the Billboard R&B Albums chart. His five subsequent albums through 1991 also peaked at #1 on the R&B chart and are certified Platinum. All six of these albums featured contributions from his longtime musical partners Marcus Miller and Nat Adderley Jr, and the trio continued to work together on Luther’s Gold and Platinum albums up through his last, 2003’s Dance With My Father.

Luther was also known for his remakes that outshined the originals. Songs like Major Harris' “Love Won’t Let Me Wait”, Dionne Warwick’s “A House is Not a Home”, Brenda Russell’s “If Only For One Night”, The Carpenters' “Superstar”, The Temptations' “Since I Lost My Baby”, Stevie Wonder’s “Creepin'” and his duet cover with Cheryl Lynn of the Marvin Gaye/Tammi Terrell classic “If This World Were Mine” all became associated with Luther. He even won a Grammy in 2004 along with Beyoncé in the Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals category for their cover of the Roberta Flack/Donny Hathaway duet “The Closer I Get To You.” His music has also been sampled in many hip-hop hits such as Jay Z’s “Excuse Me Miss” and the Twista/Kanye West/Jamie Foxx collaboration “Slow Jamz” among others.
