Hello, everybody.
Hi, everybody!
It's something, I have to come way
back to St. Louis where my home is
and everybody doesn't
want to speak to me.
Well, anyway,
it's awfully nice being home,
seeing so many of you out this evening.
And in spite of your coldness,
I'm to try to put on a
good show for you.
Please, please, please,
please, oh yeah.
Please, please, please,
please, oh yeah.
Oh yeah.
Baby, please don't go, don't go.
Don't go.
Baby, I love you so.
Baby, you've done me wrong,
oh yeah, oh yeah
Since you took my love right now,
there you go
Oh yes you have,
many things you don't
know
Baby, I love you so
Baby, don't you
know
that you're doin' it wrong?
Oh, yes you are
I said you took my love
and now you're gone
Oh, yes you have
Baby, no, no,
no
No, no, baby,
I love you so
Baby, come on in and take my hand,
baby
I wanna hear you say
that you're gonna be my lovin' man
Sing the song and let it breathe
No, no, no
I'm gonna stop the music
for just a few minutes now,
because I want to talk to you.
I want to talk about love and hurt.
Maybe there's some of you
in the house
this evening
that's never been in love.
Maybe there's some in the house this evening
that's never been hurt, but just the same,
I want you to listen to me,
because I've loved, and I've been hurt,
and sometimes I often
wonder am I by myself?
I wonder how many of you have ever been
in love?
How many of you have
ever been hurt?
Have you ever been in love
with a man that didn't love
you?
Or sometimes, when you might have been at a dance like you are tonight,
thinking about the man you love,
an d you look
over the corner somewhere
and see him with another girl.
Ladies and gentlemen,
the feeling that you get then is
what I call hurt.
But you know, it ain't
nothing you can do about it.
Some of you might say, oh yeah, Tina,
there is something that I can do about it.
But I'm going to tell you something,
because I know.
If a man don't want you,
you can't make him have you.
You might as well try to forget about it.
I'm going to ask you something right now.
If you feel like talking to me,
I want you to sing along with me and say,
If there's anybody in this house
that's ever been hurt,
I wanna hear you sing, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Sing the song, oh yeah
Baby, please, don't go
No, I know, baby, I love you so I must
stop the music one more time,
because I ain't been talking to you yet.
First, I want to say that I know that
in the house this evening,
we probably have some more respectable young ladies,
but you know, even the respectable ones
have done some wrong once in their lives.
If you haven't done wrong yet,
you've got to do something wrong
because that's how life is.
I say that for another reason because folks,
I still want to know how am I by myself.
I want to know how many of you have ever
been in love with a married man.
You know, I want to know how many of you have
ever been in love with your best girlfriend's old man.
You know,
when you're in love with a man
that don't belong to you,
you can't always
have him when you want to.
And yes, you can't be
with him
when you really, really need him.
Most of the times,
you have to slip to see him.
But all of us know, young and old,
that when you start to slip in doing anything,
it gets out of hand sometimes.
As a matter of fact,
it makes you start to wondering.
Sometimes you say,
I wonder if he hugs and kisses his old lady at home like he hugs and kisses me.
All of us are grown -ups
and we can face the truth.
But I got some young ladies in the
house this evening
that ain't talking to me.
Maybe it's because you don't want to put your
business in the streets.
Or maybe the man that
you're with this evening
don't belong to you.
Some of you may think hard of me
for what I'm saying,
because I'm saying it before so
many people,
but all of you know
that I'm telling the truth.
But girls,
when I run up on one of those men
that I can't have when I want him,
whenever I think I want him,
when I need him,
you want to know what I tell him?
What did you say?
Hey!
