What You Won't Do for Love / In the Stone (Live)
Ladies and gentlemen, Ms. Dionne Warwick
I guess you wonder where I've been
I searched to find a love within
I came back to let you know
I got this thing for you, can't let it go, can't let it go
My friends wonder what is wrong with me
Well I'm in a daze from your love, you see
I came back to let you know
I got this thing for you, can't let it go
Some people go around the world for love
But they may never find what they dream of
What you won't do, (what you won't do)
Won't do for love (won't do for love)
You tried everything but you don't give up
In my world only you
Make me do for love what I would not do
Ooh, I would not do
My friends wonder what is wrong with me (what's wrong with me)
But I'm in a daze from your love, you see
I came back to let you know
I got this thing for you can't let it go, can't let it go no no
Oh, yeah
You know I only want the best for you
I can't believe the things I'd do for you
Oh, what you
What you won't do
Won't do for love (won't do for love)
And you've tried everything but you won't give up
In my world, only you make me do for love what I would not do
Ooh
They say that love provides the key
Unlocks the heart and souls of you and me
Love will come and sing your song, yeah
Oh yeah, love is written in the stone
Every man I see is walking time
He's free to wander past his conscious mind
Love will come and take you home, yeah
Love is written in the stone
Do you believe, my friend in what you claim
People on this world all doubt the same
Bringing questions of their own, yeah
Truth is, truth is written in the stone
In the stone, you'll find the meaning
You're not standing tall
(In the stone) In the stone, the light is shining
Ever touching all
Life experience a passing day
Time will witness what the old folks say
Getting stronger every day
Strength is, strength is written in the stone
Set deep inside your heart for you to keep
Lies a spark of light that never sleeps
The greatest love you'll ever know, yeah
Love is, love is written in the stone
In the stone, you'll find the meaning
You're not standing tall
(In the stone) In the stone, the light is shining
Ever touching all
Never, never, my darling
Never will you be alone, never, never
Never, never, my darling (never, never)
Never you'll be alone
Ever, forever, my darling (written in my true love)
True love is written in the stone
Never, never, my darling (never)
Never you'll be alone (never will you be)
Ever, forever, my darling (remember true love)
True love is written in the stone
Never, never, my darling (never)
Never you'll be alone
Ever, forever, my darling
True love is written in the stone
Never (never)
Ever my darling (never)
Never will you be alone
Ever, forever my darling
True love is written in the stone
Written on your stone
We're gonna do a, a bunch of those little things that we call records
And the only reason that I say that is simply because, because of you
We're able to do just that
We're going to take this time to invite all of you
If any of the songs that we will be doing for you from this point on
Become familiar to you
We do want you to feel absolutely free
You just open up your mouth, let some words fall on out of it
You wanna put your hands together, in recognition of a song
Let the people groove force while we up here please, feel free to do that too
And let the spirit should move somebody in here
Feel like you wanna get on up and let it all hang lose
Trust me I will sit here and watch you
I most certainly will
We're gonna do two songs in just one moment and I hope
I really, really hope
The first is, the very first record I ever did in my life
It's entitled Don't make me over
We're gonna do it in it's original state
And I must tell you too, I'm scared to death
'Cause it's been a long time since we've done this whole song
As a matter of fact, it's been since 1964
Since we've drawn this whole song
I want you to also know that this song is still in the original key
And it still got the same lyrics that it had nineteen years ago
That I never knew then
If any of y'all know the lyrics of "Don't make me over" out there
You see me fumble up here, y'all jump on in here
And you let me stand and not fall down by myself
If I get through it, I want a standing ovation
I guess you wonder where I've been
I searched to find a love within
I came back to let you know
I got this thing for you, can't let it go, can't let it go
My friends wonder what is wrong with me
Well I'm in a daze from your love, you see
I came back to let you know
I got this thing for you, can't let it go
Some people go around the world for love
But they may never find what they dream of
What you won't do, (what you won't do)
Won't do for love (won't do for love)
You tried everything but you don't give up
In my world only you
Make me do for love what I would not do
Ooh, I would not do
My friends wonder what is wrong with me (what's wrong with me)

Oh, what you
