Written by Beatrice Verdi, Christine Yarian
Spoken Intro
Maybe you and I can't do great things
We may not change the world in one day
But we still can change some things today
In our small way
1st Verse
Empty words are not enough
Where there's hurt, we'll be a crutch
When there's thirst, we'll fill each other's cup
Because we care, we love enough to share
Chorus
Maybe you and I can't do great things
We may not change the world in one day
But we still can change some things today
In our small way
2nd Verse
In despair we'll be the hope
And the prayer that frees the soul
We'll be there to share each lonely road
Because we love, I know we care enough
Chorus
Maybe you and I can't do great things
We may not change the world in one day
But we still can change some things today
In our small way
Bridge
Just a little time is all it takes
What a difference just a smile can make you'll see
Love is all we need
Chorus
Maybe you and I can't do great things
We may not change the world in one day
But we still can change some things today
In our small way
Written and Composed by Beatrice Verdi and Christine Yarian

What goes around, comes around
I've had my eyes on you
For three long years
When no one else wanted you
I took you in and held you near
But then you drifted away
After you said you'd always stay
How could you be so mean and untrue?
He didn't want you until he'd seen
What my love did for you, yeah
Ooh baby, what goes around, comes around
I knew he'd soon be gone
Yeah baby, he put you down, now you're the clown
And you want me to come back home
Yeah yeah yeah
I've had no love affairs
For three long years
Remember how I used to care
When you were down, I dried your tears
Who did you think was the fool?
I let you treat me so cruel
This is the moment of truth for you
Do you think your playing is through?
I don't think I can trust you
Ooh baby, what goes around, comes around
I knew he'd soon be gone
Yeah baby, he put you down, now you're the clown
And you want me to come back home?
Yeah yeah yeah
What goes around, comes around
He put you down, now you're the clown
Yeah yeah baby, what goes around, comes around
I knew he'd soon be gone
Na na baby, he put you down, now you're the clown
And you want me to come back home?

Written by Smokey Robinson, Ronald White
I've got sunshine
On a cloudy day
When it's cold outside
I've got the month of May
I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl
(My girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl
(My girl)
I've got so much honey
the bees envy me
I've got a sweeter song than
the birds in the trees
I guess you'll say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl
(My girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl
(My girl)
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Ooooh...
I don't need no money,
fortune or fame
I've got all the riches baby
one man can claim
Well I guess you'll say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl
(My girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl
(My girl)
