No Matter What Sign You Are Lyrics

Capricorn, Scorpio, Taurus
Gemini, Virgo, Cancer
Pieces, Leo, Libra
Aries, Aquarius, Sagittarius

The moon shines bright above
And the charts declare it's not my night for love
Ah the beat of my heart
I feel a good vibration
Saying you and me baby
Would make a good combination
There's no need for looking to the stars
Can't you see the stars shine in my eyes
I love you boy,
I really love you boy

No Matter What Sign You Are
You're gonna be mine you are
Can't let astrology chart our destiny
No matter what sign you are
You're gonna be mine you are

The beat of the heart my love
Is stronger than the charts my love
Your water sign just lit my fire
You fill me with such desire
I love you boy,
I really love you boy

No matter what sign you are
You're gonna be mine you are
Can't let astrology chart our destiny
Oh no matter what sign you are
You're gonna be mine you are
Need you beside me love
Only you guide me love

Capricorn, Scorpio, Taurus
Gemini, Virgo, Cancer
Pieces, Leo, Libra
Aries, Aquarius, Sagittarius

I don't care about your rising sign
All I know is when your lips touch mine
You move me boy, you really move me boy
No matter what sign you are
You're gonna be mine you are
Hold me tight, ah hold me
Hold me, hold me, hold me

No Matter What Sign You Are

Along with many other songs of the late '60s, this song was inspired by the huge interest in horoscopes and Zodiac signs.

The song is officially credited to "Diana Ross and the Supremes."

For their 1990 album Poison, the hip-hop group Bell Biv DeVoe sampled the intro of this on their song "Ain't Nut'in' Changed."

The working titles for this song were "Don't Destroy Me" and "The Paper Said Rain." (thanks, Jerro - New Alexandria, PA, for all above)

I'm Livin' in Shame Lyrics

Mom was cooking bread
She wore a dirty raggety scarf around her head
Always had her stockings low
Rolled to her feet, she just didn't know
She wore a sloppy dress
Oh no matter how she tried, she always looked a mess
Out of the pot she ate, never used a fork or a dinner plate
I was always so ashamed for my uptown friends to see her
Afraid one day when I was grown that I would be her

In a college town, away from home, a new identity I found
Said I was born elite, with maids and servants at my feet
I must have been insane
I lied and said my mom died on a weekend trip to Spain
She never got out of the house, never even boarded a train
I married a guy, was livin' high
I didn't want him to know her
She had a grandson, two years old
I never even showed her

I'm Livin' in Shame, Momma, I miss you
I know you are not to blame, Momma, I miss you

Came the telegram
Mom passed away while making homemade jam
Before she died, she cried to see me by her side
She always did her best, ah! cookin', cleanin'
Always in the same old dress
Workin' hard down on her knees
Always try'n to please
Momma! Momma! Momma, do you hear me
Momma! Momma! Momma, do you hear me

I'm livin' in shame, Momma, I miss you
I know you've done your best
Momma, I miss you
Won't you forgive me Momma
For all the wrong I've done
I know you have done your best
I know you have done your very best you could
But I never understood
Workin' hard on your knees
Momma, you were always, always tryin' to please

I'm Livin' in Shame

In the story of this song, a woman (who was born into alleged poverty) has been ashamed of her mother ever since she was a kid. After she grows up and leaves home, she lies about her past and her socioeconomic status in order to move up into higher societies and then marries a man who's well off. She ostracizes her mother and even makes up a story about her mother dying while going to Spain. On top of that, after she gives birth to her first child, she doesn't even bother to tell her mother about it. Then, one day, the woman receives a telegram saying that her mother died and she now feels extremely guilty about the damages she caused. Talk about learning a lesson the hard way!

This is a sequel to the Supremes' 1968 hit "Love Child." It was inspired by the 1959 film Imitation of Life, starring Lana Turner.

The working titles for this song were "The Eyes of Love" and "I Live in Shame." (thanks, Jerro - New Alexandria, PA, for above 2)
