About Hope That We Can Be Together Soon

"Hope That We Can Be Together Soon is a song written by Kenneth Gamble and Leon Huff that was originally recorded by Dusty Springfield as "Let's Get Together Soon" and was included in her 1970 album A Brand New Me (which was also produced by Gamble and Huff). The composition scored a hit when it was released by Sharon Paige and Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes in 1975. Released in 1975 from the album To Be True, it reached #1 on the Hot Soul Singles chart in the summer of that year. It reached #42 on the Billboard Hot 100. Unlike most of the group's singles from this time period, Melvin handles most of the vocal duties, while Teddy Pendergrass appears for one line and the closing part of the song. Paige would later take on a more prominent role in the group after Pendergrass left the group for a solo career.

I don't like it on the outside
I gotta get on the inside

Won't you let me into your world? Oh lady

You walk around with your head up high
On the street and stop but you won't come back
Oh, sophisticated lady, you know I love you
So why do you put me through the changes that you do?

Won't you let me into your world? Oh lady
Please let me into your world, oh lady

The expert say on the milky way
There's a pot of gold there everyday
In my world, that pot of gold is in your eyes
I love you, I love you, I love you, baby

Let me into your world, oh lady
Please let me into your world
Oh lady, lady, lady, lady, lady

Life is too short to live it alone
So let me into your world
Let me build my happy home

Won't you let me into your world? Oh lady
Please let me into your world, oh lady, oh

I don't like it on the outside
I gotta get on the inside
I don't like it on the outside
I gotta get on the inside

I don't like it on the outside
I gotta get on the inside
I don't like it
