“You are my pride and joy
And I just love you, little darlin'
Like a baby boy loves his toy
You've got kisses sweeter than honey
And I work every day to give you all I know
And that's why you're my pride and joy.”

“I know that you've enjoyed all the good things money's given to you
and that to have to live without them is not an easy thing to do.
You take great pride in your appearance, all of which is second-to-none,
and I can understand how you're feeling when you see yourself growing old,
the man you love is never there to hold.
But bear with me just a little bit longer.
Honey, won't you bear with me, and I guarantee you that our love will grow stronger.
Bear with me just a little bit longer. Honey, won't you bear with me?”

Gilbert O'Sullivan (1946) Irish singer-songwriter

“What you want,
Honey you've got it.
And what you need,
Baby you've got it.All I'm asking
Is for a little respect when I come home.”

Otis Redding (1941–1967) American singer, songwriter and record producer

Respect, later covered by Aretha Franklin.
Song lyrics, Otis Blue: Otis Redding Sings Soul (1965)

“I know that you think you've set sail when you call my name
But I get it inside my head all day
When I realize I'm just hopin' onto the hope that
Maybe, your feelings don't show

It feels like I only go backwards, baby,
Every part of me says go ahead,
I've got my hopes up again, oh no, not again
It feels like we only go backwards, darlin'

The seed of all this indecision isn't me, oh no
'Cause I decided long ago
But that's the way it seems to go,
When trying so hard to get to something real, it feels

It feels like I only go backwards, darlin',
Every part of me says go ahead,
I've got my hopes up again, oh no, not again
It feels like we only go backwards, darlin”

You're lying there dead on the pavement because you've been holding and suppressing all this bullshit, you know.”

Now my love is somewhere lost in your kiss

“Maybe you want to give me kisses sweet,
But only for one night with no repeat.
Maybe you'd go away and never call,
And a taste of honey is worse than none at all (oh little girl)
Oh little girl, in that case I don't want no part. (I do believe that)
That would only break my heart.
Oh, but if you feel like loving me,
If you got the notion,
I second that emotion.”

Smokey Robinson (1940) American R&B singer-songwriter and record producer

“I don't like you
But I love you.
See that I'm always
Thinking of you.
Oh, oh, oh,
You treat me badly;
I love you madly.
You've really got a hold on me.
You've really got a hold on me, baby.”
