Medley: By the Time I Get to Phoenix / I Say a Little Prayer Isaac Hayes

Awww, yeah
Mmmm, hmmm, hmmm, mmmm, mmmm, mmmm, mmmm, mmmm

I'm talking about the power of love now
I'm gonna tell you what love can do
You know when they say love makes the world go 'round, that's the truth
Love can make you or break you
It can make you laugh. It can make you cry
It can make you happy. It can make you sad
Aw, it'd get hung up real bad
In a case of jealousy, love can make you mad. Aw, yeah

Now everybody, everybody's got it's own thing
Everybody's got it's way of doing a thing
Now we should attempt to do a tune that is very popular it was written by one of the great young songwriters of today
Now I don't know what he was thinking about or what inspired him to write this tune, but it's a deep tune
There's a deep meaning to this tune because it shows you what the power of love can do
Now I should attempt it to do it my way, my own interpretation of it
Like I said, everybody's got it's own thing
I'm gonna bring it on down to Soulsville
Now I want you to bear along with me for a few minutes while I set it up
Now I want your imagination. I want you to travel with me
Oh, come on, come on, come on

This young man was raised in the hills of Tennessee
When he reached the age of maturity, he moved to the West Coast
And he fell in love when he got out there to this young girl
Aw, man, she was out of sight. She was bad
And then they started dating and then the inevitable, became engaged and they were married
Mmmm, hmmm, hmmm
They were happily married. That's right they lived in L.A
Oh, oh. The power of love was upon them
But you see, girls, I don't mean to come down on you, but this man loved this woman so...He can really say love is blind
He could see no wrong. No, no, no
