'Heyyyy! Heyy-ayyaahhyy' -- [Erick Sermon] (Redman's 'Watch Yo' Nugget')
[sample repeats until first verse]
You know what time, boo-yaow
I know it's time for you
So grab one by the hand youknowhatI'msayin
And uhh, throw up that finger
Ay yo yo yo throw y'all fingers up!
Thug style baby, Thug style y'know?
[Verse One:]
Tell me baby are you lonely? Don't wanna rush ya
I can help ya if ya only, let me touch ya
If I'm wrong love tell me, cause I get caught up
and the life I live is Hell see, I never thought I'd see
the day when I would calm down, you ain't heard
I've been known to clown and Get Around, that's my word
See you walkin and you lookin good, yes indeed
Got a body like a sex fiend, you're killin me
witcha attitude to match right, don't be phony
cause I hate when you act like, you don't know me
I've be stressin in the spotlight, I want the fame
but the industry's a lot like, a crap game
Ain't no time for commitment, I gotta go
Can't be wit you every minute miss, another show
And even though I'm known for my one night stand
I wanna be an honest man, but temptations go...
'Heyyyy! Heyy-ayyaahhyy' -- [Erick Sermon] (Redman's 'Watch Yo' Nugget')
[sample repeats until second verse]
Throw up the finger!
And all my homies go..
Throw them the finger!
Ya know what baby it's like
[singing]
I know you've been searchin for someone
To make you happy, and get the job done
You say you need it, a man with money
But I can't be there, and will you still care
[Verse Two:]
Will I cheat or will I be committed, heaven knows
Gettin weak and I wanna hit it, so here I go
in my ride and I'm all in, gettin high
I can hear the people callin, I'm passin by
Everybody knows I'm ball-in, and to God
Gotta keep myself from fall-in, but it's hard
All the cuties know I'm under pressure, what do I do
Gettin shaky when she pull the dress up, and say it's cool
Should I stroke or should I wait a while, you decide
If you tell me that you don't want it, that's a lie
Move close and let me whisper, some dirty words
in your ears as I kiss ya, on every curve
Slow down baby don't rush, I like it slow
Can't hold it any longer, so let it go
Open the gates, do you wanna fall up in heaven
Don't worry, I let myself in, all I heard was...
'Heyyyy! Heyy-ayyaahhyy' -- [Erick Sermon] (Redman's 'Watch Yo' Nugget')
[sample repeats until third verse]
Give em the finger!
All my homies go..
Throw your fingers up!
That's just the Thug in me girl, you know
Peep out all my homies, y'know, it's like
[singing]
I know you've been searchin for someone
To make you happy, and get the job done
You say you need it, a man with money
But I can't be there, and will you still care
[Verse Three:]
A lot of people think it's easy, to settle down
Got a woman that'll please me, in every town
I don't wanna but I gotta do it, the temptation
got me ready to release the fluid, sensation
sit down and conversate like you know me, take my hand
Cause even Thugs get lonely, understand
Even the hardest of my homies need attention
Catch you blowin up the telephone, reminiscin
I wanna take you to the movies, and the park
Let's find a spot for you to do me, in the dark
Now that it's passion, hold me tight
Don't need lights, I can see you by the moonlight
I know your man ain't lovin you right
You're lonely and depressed you need a Thug in your life
Enough talkin, you want me to leave, I'll get to walkin
See you later, cause baby I'm a player, and all I heard was
'Heyyyy! Heyy-ayyaahhyy' -- [Erick Sermon] (Redman's 'Watch Yo' Nugget')
[sample repeats until the end]
Give em the finger
And all my homies go.. yo this how we gonna do this in the nine-trey y'know?
Throw your fingers up
Y'know? They gonna peep this, this how we run game on you
[singing]
Everybody, heyy, alright

[CHORUS:]
I know you see me watching you
and I see you watching me
cause boy your bodys callin
and temptation is killin me
[repeat 4x]
[1:]
Im chillin at the spot and my posse's four deep
had my man is on my mind turn my head what did i see
the fellas lookin fly and there was one that caught my eye
so i bit my lip switched my hips as i walked by saying
sexy boy you're so fly i just might give you a try
ima write yo number in the palm of my hand
oops i forgot i got a man
[CHORUS]
[2:]
Im thinkin to myself should i even take a chance
should i do whats on my mind or should i stay down with my man
this boy got me fienin and im wantin him so bad
should i chill one night with him and risk everything I have
saying
sexy boy you so fly i wish i could give you a try
but my man's at home waiting for me by the phone
sorry cant get my groove on!
[CHORUS]
Temptation is callin
I be wantin you so bad i could cry
Relationships callin me
To do whats wrong but i gotta do right
[repeat]
[Chorus]
temptations is callin
I be wantin you so bad i could cry
Relationships callin me
To do whats wrong but i gotta do right

Driven by restrained desire
I want what I need
Shaking as her sex takes hold
I've lost all control
Temptation, temptation
Drowning in a sea of rage
I taste the embrace
Helpless as it steals my soul
I've lost all control
Temptation
(It never lets me down)
Temptation
(One foot in the ground)
We exist in a world where the fear of illusion is real
And we cling to the past to deny and confuse the ideal
Once inside, we can conceive and believe in a God we can't feel
I can't feel it, I can't feel it, I can't feel
Destined by a fate so cruel
I drugged to delight
Laughing as these lies unfold
I've lost all control
Temptation
(It never lets me down)
Temptation
(One foot in the ground)
Temptation
(You satisfy my soul)
Temptation

Drop the groove
Time after time
I tell myself that I'm
So lucky to be loving you
Time after time
You'll hear me say that I'm
So lucky to be loving you
So lucky to be
The one you run to see
In the evening when the day is through
I only know what I know
The passing years will show
You keep my love so young, so new
And time after time
You'll hear me say that I'm
So lucky to be loving you
You, you, you baby
Time after time
I tell myself that I'm
So lucky to be loving you
So lucky to be
The one you run to see
In the evening when the day is through
I only know what I know
The passing years will show
You keep my love so young, so new
And time after time
You'll hear me say that I'm
So lucky to be loving you
Time, oh time, time after time
Oh, how lucky am I
Time, oh time, time after time
Oh, how lucky am I
I feel so lucky to be
The one you want to see
In the evening when the day is through
I only know what I know
The passing years will show
You keep my love so young, so new
And time after time
You'll hear me say that I'm
So lucky to be loving you
Time, oh time, time after time
Oh, how lucky am I
Time, oh time, time after time
Oh, how lucky am I
Time, oh time, time after time
Oh, how lucky am I
Time, oh time, time after time
Oh, how lucky am I
Time, oh time, time after time
Oh, how lucky am I
Time, oh time, time after time
Oh, how lucky am I

Oh, mother
Oh mother of mine
I've, I've been blind
The things that you tell me, yeah
I paid, I really paid it no mind
Oh please, oh please forgive me
Yes, I know I was wrong
But now, now I know, yeah
My place, my place is at home
Can't you see I've been crying now
Almost dying
I need your advice mama, yeah
Oh, mama
Oh, mama
Oh, mama
Come and tell me now
How much about love, you don't understand?
Yes, you know that you were wrong
Or when you thought that you were wrong
Yes, it was that young girl
She put you in such a whirl
Yeah, I said, "Mama, don't you worry now, yeah"
I guess I had it coming anyhow, yes I did
I'm gonna do everything you say
Hmm, each and every day
I'm gonna be a man, yes, I am
Now that I understand
Hmm, I'm not gonna be no fool no more
Yeah because you told me so
Whoa mama
Oh, mother
Oh, mother
Come on and tell me now
Oh tell me now
Hmm, I'm sorry
Yes I am, I am really sorry
Oh, I should have think of you, yeah

Keep me down
I?ll do whatever you say
I?ll just remember that old cliché
?That?s life,? you better believe it
That's what the people say
You're riding' high in April, shot down in May
But I know I'm gonna change their tune
When I'm back on top, back on top in June
(Now don?t you worry)
That's life
(That?s life)
Oh, it's funny as it seems
(Go ahead enjoy it)
Some people get their kicks steppin' on dreams
But I don't let it get me down
(Tell us why you said it)
'Cause this ol' world keeps right on going around
I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet
A pawn and a king
I've been up, down and over and under
And I know one thing
Each time I find myself flat on my face
I just pick myself up and get back in the race
That's life
(That?s life, you gotta believe it)
And I can't deny it, yes I thought of quitting
But you know my heart, my little heart just won't buy it
But if I didn't think it was worth a try
I'd just roll myself up in a big ball and die
I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet
A pawn and a king
I've been up, down, over and under
And I know one thing
Each time I find myself flat on my face
I just pick myself up and get back in the race
That's life
(That?s life)
Oh and I can't deny it, yes I thought of quitting
But I tell you my heart it just won't buy it
But if I didn't think it was worth a try
(What would you do?)
I'd just roll myself up in a great big ball and die
Keep me down
I?ll do whatever you say
(Great big ball and die)
You?ve heard my story

Ooh ooh, yeah hey
Oh no na, na, na, na, na, na, yeah
Ah ah, yeah yeah
Just to feel your body, your sensual desire
You know my heart goes crazy when your tender lips touch mine
Let's explore our love and the candlelight and wine
We'll leave the world behind, baby

Hey there pretty lady

'Cause you're special, hey
Girl, you make me feel real good
Special to me, you see, you are special
Baby, you're so special to me
Hey baby, I can't believe the things you've done for me
You put me back on the right track
Think about you constantly
And I know in your heart that you feel the same way for me, baby
Late nights with me all alone, it's total ecstasy
All I can do is think about the the times
When I'm making sweet love to you
And there seems to be, I'm tellin' you girl
Some kind of magic when we touch
Don't you leave

Somewhere a place for us
Peace and quiet and open air
Wait for us, somewhere
There's a time for us
Someday there's a time for us
Time together with time to spare
Time to learn, time to care
Someday, somewhere
We'll find a new way of living
We'll find a way of forgiving
Somewhere
There's a place for us
There's a time and place for us
Hold my hand and we're half way there
Hold my hand and I'll take you there
Somehow, someday, somewhere
We'll find a new way of living
We'll find a way of forgiving
Somewhere
There's a place for us
I tell you there's a time and place for us
Hold my hand and we're half way there
Hold my hand and I'll take and I'll take you there
Somehow, I will do it
Someday, I will show it

The sun is shining
there's plenty of light
A new day is dawning
sunny and bright
But after I've been
crying all night
The sun is cold and
the new day seems old
Since I lost my baby
(since I lost my baby)
Oh since I lost my baby
(since I lost my baby)
The birds are singing
and the children are playing
There's plenty of work
and the bosses are paying
Not a sad word should our
young hearts be saying
But fun is a bore
and with money I'm poor
Since I lost my baby
(since I lost my baby)
Oh since I lost my baby
(since I lost my baby)
Next time I'll be kinder
(next time I'll be kinder)
Won't you please help me find her
(won't you please help me find her)
Someone just remind her
(someone just remind her)
Of this love she left behind her
(of this love she left behind her)
'Til I find her I'll be crying
('til I find her I'll be crying)
Everyday I'm more inclined to find her
inclined to find her
Inclined to find my baby
Been looking everywhere
baby I really really care
Oh determination is fading fast
Inspiration is a thing of the past
Can't see how my hope's gonna last
Good things are bad
and what's happy is sad
Since I lost my baby
(since I lost my baby)
Oh since I lost my baby
(oh since I lost my baby)
I feel so bad
(since I lost my baby)
I feel so sad

Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmastime in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas Day
City sidewalks, busy sidewalks, dressed in holiday style
In the air there's a feeling of Christmas
Children laughing, people passing, meeting smile after smile
And on every street corner you hear
Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmastime in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas Day
Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmastime in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas Day

'Twas the night before Christmas
And all through the house
Not a creature was stirring
Not even a mouse
In my mind, I want you to be free
For all of our friends, to listen to me
Now hear what I say, we wish you
A Merry Christmas to each one of you
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child
Holy infant, so tender and mild
Sleep in Heavenly peace
Sleep, sleep in Heaven, Heavenly peace
Go on and rest your mind
And sleep, sleep in Heavenly
Silent night, holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories streams from Heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing, "Alleluia"
Christ the Savior is born, oh yes He is Christ
Christ, Christ the Savior is born
What a joyous day!
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child
Holy infant, so tender and mild
Sleep in Heavenly peace
Sleep, sleep in Heaven, Heavenly peace
Just sleep and relax your mind
To all our family and friends
I want you to remember this line
Merry Christmas to all of you
Merry Christmas to all of you

Lady luck and a four leaf clovers

Ever since you put me down
Oh, standin' on shakey ground, yeah
Ever since you put me down

Sail on silver wings through this storm
What fortune love may bring
Back to my arms again
The love of a former golden age
I am disabled by fears
Concerning which course to take
For, now that wheels are turning
I find my faith deserting me
This night is filled with cries
Of dispossessed children in search of paradise
A sign of unresolved that envisioned
Drives the pinwheel on and on
I am disabled by fears
Concerning which course to take
When memory bears witness
To the innocence, consumed in dying rage
The way lies through our love
There can be no other means to the end
Or keys to my heart
You will never find

Why don't you come, come back, to my paradise
Baaaaby to my paradiiise
Pleeease, come back (come back) to myyy paaaradise, oh oh it would be
Sooo nice, with you back in my arms again, with you back in my arms again. And
Baby, (baby) can you tell me wheeen, you'll be back in my arms again, you can
Make me so happy,(happy) you can make me so haaappy. Heeey
Each night I dream
I cry when I go to sleep, so sorry that we broke up, but then I dream that your
In my arms, with all your charms. And IIII
Don't want to wake up,don't want to wake up
Oh no, no, no,no, I was wrong from the very start, I hope you'll have a
Change of heart, and come back to paradise,oh,oh, back to paradise
Each night I dream
I dream that your in my arms,with all your charms. And I,I,I,I
Don't want to wake up, don't want to wake up
Oh no,no,noooo. I was wrong from the veeeeryy start, I hope you'll have a
Change of heart, and come back to paradiiise. Come on, back to paradiiise

Wish that I could wind
Like a spiral spare through time
To your body next to mine
Warm and satisfied
Wish that I could catch
A night train to the past
Climb aboard and hear you ask
Darling come inside
Memories, memories
Sweet, sweet memories
Of days gone by
That make me cry
Memories, memories
Sweet memories that make me sad
They take me back to you
(Memories, memories)
Watching falling stars
On the grass by my own car
Making love there in the dark
Thinking we're alone
Old man shined his light
Trying not to act surprised
He left hard and all uptight
Told us to get on home
Memories, memories
Sweet sweet memories
Of love we shared
Of love we shared
Memories memories
Sweet memories of love we shared
We will never share them again
(Memories, memories)
Memories, memories
Wish that I could wind
Like a spiral spare through time
To your body next to mine
Warm and satisfied
Wish that I could catch
A night train to the past
Climb aboard and hear you ask
Darling come inside
Memories, memories
Sweet, sweet memories
Of days gone by
You make me cry, baby
Memories, memories
Sweet sweet memories that make me sad
They take me back to you
(Memories, memories)
To you, baby
To you, to you
You, you, you, you, you

Where I was born everything was dull and dingy
I lived in a place they called 'The Inner City'
Getting ahead was strictly a no no
'Cause nobody cares what happens
To the folks that live in the ghetto
Thousands of lives wasting away
People living from day to day
It's a challenge just staying alive
'Cause in the ghetto, only the strong survives
Broken down homes, kids strung out
They don't even know what life's all about
Stealin' cars, robbin' bars, muggings, drugs, rat infested
And no one's interested
Kids dodging cars for recreation
Only adds to a mother's frustration
Break-ins, folks comin' home
And finding all their possessions gone
Oh, it's an everyday thing, well well, in the ghetto

And I wake up in the mornin'
With my hair down on my eyes and she says, "Hi"
And I stumble to the breakfast table
While the kids are goin' off to school, goodbye
And she reaches out 'n' takes my hand
And squeezes it 'n' says, "How ya feelin', hon?"
And I look across at smilin' lips
That warm my heart and see my mornin' sun
And if that's not lovin' me then all I've got to say
God didn't make little green apples
And it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime
And there's no such thing as Doctor Seuss
Or Disneyland, and Mother Goose, no nursery rhyme
God didn't make little green apples
And it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime
And when myself is feelin' low
I think about her face aglow and ease my mind
Sometimes I call her up at home knowin' she's busy
And ask her if she could get away and meet me
And maybe we could grab a bite to eat
And she drops what she's doin'
And she hurries down to meet me
And I'm always late but she sits waitin' patiently
And smiles when she first sees me
'Cause she's made that way
And if that ain't lovin' me then all I've got to say
God didn't make little green apples
And it don't snow in Minneapolis when the winter comes
And there's no such thing as make-believe
Puppy dogs, autumn leaves 'n' BB guns
God didn't make little green apples

Come they told me
Pa rum pum pum pum
Our new born King to see
Pa rum pum pum pum
Our finest gifts we bring
Pa rum pum pum pum
To lay before the King
Pa rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum
So to honor Him
Pa rum pum pum pum
When we come
Baby Gesu
Pa rum pum pum pum
I am a poor boy too
Pa rum pum pum pum
I have no gift to bring
Pa rum pum pum pum
That's fit to give our King
Pa rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum
Shall I play for you
Pa rum pum pum
On my drum?
Mary nodded
Pa rum pum pum pum
The ox and lamb kept time
Pa rum pum pum pum
I played my drum for Him
Pa rum pum pum
I played my best for Him
Pa rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum
Then He smiled at me
Pa rum pum pum pum
Me and my drum
Me and my drum
Me and my drum
Then He smiled at me
Pa rum pum pum pum
Me and my drum
Me and my drum
Me and my drum
Then He smiled at me
Pa rum pum pum pum
Me and my drum
Me and my drum
Me and my drum

Some people are always Heaven made

But you sure can't be nobody else
In other words, I can't be you, ain't no quit, yeah
You can't be me, well well
That's all with you, my sister and brother
And that's the way that good life meant to be, hey ho

Whether you like it or you'll understand
It's the law of the land, well well well
'Cause made by almighty men, aha
It's the law of the land, everybody else say

Like a snow ball rolling down the side
Of a snow covered hill
It's growing like the size of the fish
That the man claims broke his reel
It's growing like the rose bud blooming
In the warmth of the summer sun
It's growing like the tale by the time
It's been told by more then one it's growing
Every day it grows a little more
Than it was the day before
My love for you just grows and grows
Oh, how it grows and grows
And where it's going to stop
I'm sure nobody knows
Hey, hey, hey
(Nobody knows)
How it grows and it grows and it grows
(Nobody knows)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Nobody knows it grows and grows)
(Where is it gonna stop)
Like the need in a guy to see his girl
When she's gone away
It's growing like the sadness in his little heart
When he knows that she's gone to stay, it's growing
Every day it grows a little more
Than it was the day before
My love for you just grows and grows
Oh, how it grows and grows
And where it's going to stop
I'm sure nobody knows
(Hey, hey, hey nobody knows)
It gets a little wider
(Nobody knows)
Oh, it gets a little stronger
(Hey, hey, hey)
The feeling from each kiss baby
(Hey, hey, hey)
Oh, it last a litter longer
(Hey, hey, hey)
So much, so much

Ooh, isn't she pretty, ah pretty, ah pretty, ah pretty, pretty
Ooh, isn't she a doll, she's a doll, now
Uh huh, she's so fine, so fine
Gee, I wish she was mine
Ooh, isn't she pretty, ah pretty, ah pretty, ah pretty, pretty
Ooh, isn't she a doll, hey, she's a natural doll, now
She's the kind of girl all of my life, now
I wanted her to be my wife
Because
She's got it, without a doubt
She really knocks me out
I can't do without her love
Ooh, isn't she pretty, ah pretty, ah pretty, ah pretty, pretty
Ooh, isn't she a doll? Hey, she's a natural doll, now
Oh do you know, you're a pretty little thing?
I really want to be your man

Why?
You ain't got just what it takes
Ooh, isn't she pretty, ah pretty, ah pretty, ah pretty, pretty
Ooh, isn't she a doll, hey, she's a natural doll, now
Every time she come near me, what do you say?
My words just-a disappear
Here she comes now
Jus' the walk
Listen to her sweet, sweet talk
I can't do without her love
Ooh, isn't she pretty, ah pretty, ah pretty, ah pretty, pretty
Ooh, isn't she a doll, she's a doll, now
She so fine, so fine, so fine
I, I wish she were mine, all mine
She so fine, so fine, so fine
I, I wish she were mine, all mine

I will build you a castle with a tower so high
Till it reaches the moon
I'll gather melodies from birdies that fly
And compose you a tune
Give you lovin' warm as mama's oven
And if that don't do then I'll try something new
I will take you 'way with me as far as I can
To Venus or Mars
There we will love with your hand in my hand
You'll be king of the stars
And every day we can play on the Milky Way
And if that don't do then I'll try something new
I will bring you a flower from the floor of the sea
To wear in your hair
I'll do anything and everything to make you happy, boy
To show you that I care
I'll pretend I'm jealous of all the fellas
And if that don't do then I'll try something new
I'll try something new
I'll try something new
I'll try something new

I was playin for keeps
But she was playin' a game
Now she's gone and left
And I don't know if I'll ever be the same
I wonder who she's seeing now
I wonder who she's holding now
I wonder who she's seeing now
I wonder who she's foolin'
She doesn't know now
She's tearing me apart
Breaking my heart, well
Doesn't know what I'm goin' through
I don't know what I'm gonna do
It's getting harder every single day
Without her
I wonder who she's seeing now
Oh I wish that I knew
I wonder who she's holding now
I wonder who she's seeing now
I wonder who she's foolin'
If I could find a way to turn back the tide
When she was still mine
To the love I'll remember with
I'll hold her in my arms again
And never let her slip away
I wonder who she's seeing now
I wonder who she's holding now
I guess it's more than breathing hard
I wonder who she's foolin'
I wonder who she's seeing now
I wonder who the girl's seeing right now
Even though she'd be gone today
Now I got to find my own way, yeah
Even though I need her more each day
I wonder, I wonder who she's seeing now
I wonder who's holding her right now
I don't know, I wonder who's she seeing now
I wonder who she's foolin', baby
I wonder, I wonder who she's foolin' now
I wonder who she's foolin' now
I wonder who she's seeing now
I wonder who she's fooling
If they got everything you need
But they gave you all the love you want
'Cause they know how to love you baby, love you baby

You ask if I remembered, when we first met
Girl, tell me how could I ever forget
There, you were standing there
Oh, with ruby lips and the golden hair
Your beauty seem to hypnotize me
I had that feeling I was no longer free
But when I ask you for a dance
You wouldn't even give me a chance
And it hurt me through and through
That was the first time I got over you
You had my heart dingling
Like a puppet on a string
To you I meant nothing, darling
But to me you meant everything
Girl, you know since then through the years
I have shed so many tears
And all because of you
I couldn't cry if I wanted to
I don't know why I still love you
'Cause you don't even want me around
Year after year it's the same old thing
You build me up, to let me down
So go on and hurt me
Oh, like you did
This time it'll be different
My tears you'll see no more
'Cause I've cried so through the years
Until I've run out of tears
And all because of you
I couldn't cry if I wanted to
I'll never shed another tear
I couldn't cry no love
Seems as though the pain have flown
The tears from my eyes
I'll never cry, never
Never no more

I choose, my choice will be the same
You'll know that it will work for me
Come on and spell a name
Darlin', darlin', darlin'
Why don't you come on and spell a name
Indeed I'll idealize you
You gotta come on and spell her name
Always, Dinah
H is for hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me
Dinah hold me now
(Hold me)
H is for hold me
Hold me, hold me
Dinah hold me tight
(Hold me tight)

When The Night
Is Calm
And The Land Is Dark
And The Moon Is The Only Light We'll See
Oh I Wont, Be Afraid
No I Wont, Be Afraid
Just As Long As You Stand, Stand By Me
If The Sky That We Look Apon
Should Tumble And Fall
Or The Mountain Should Crumble Out To The Sea
I Wont Cry, I Wont Cry
No I Wont, Shed A Tear
Just As Long As You Stand, Stand By Me
So Darling, Darling
Stand, By Me
Hey Stand, By Me
Oh Wont, Wont You Stand, Stand By Me
When The Night
Is Calm
And The Land Is Dark
And The Moon Is The Only Light We'll See
I Wont, Be Afraid
No I (Wont), Be Afraid
Just As Long, As U Stand By Me
So Darling, Darling
Stand, By Me
Hey Stand, By Me
Oh Wont, Wont You Stand, Stand By Me
Whenever Your In Town
I Want You To Just Stand, Stand By Me

Childhood part of my life
Wasn't very pretty, see
(Boom, boom-boom, boom)
I was born and raised
In the slums of the city
(Boom, boom-boom, boom)
It was a one-room shack
That slept ten other children beside me
(Boom, boom-boom, boom)
We hardly had enough food
Or room to sleep
(Boom, boom-boom, boom)
It was hard times
I needed somethin' to ease my troubled mind
Ooh listen
My father didn't know the meaning of work
(Boom, boom-boom, boom)
He disrespected mama
And treated us like dirt
(Boom, boom-boom, boom)
I left home seeking a job
That I never did find
(Boom, boom-boom, boom)
Depressed and down-hearted
And I took to cloud nine
(Boom, boom-boom, boom)
I'm doing fine
Up here on cloud nine
Listen, one more time
I'm doing fine
Up here on cloud nine
Folks down there tell me
They say "Give yourself a chance, son
Don't let life pass you by"
(Woo, woo, woo-oo)
But the world, around you's a rat race
Where only the strongest survive
It's a dog-eat-dog world
And that ain't no lie
(Ain't no lie)
Listen, it ain't even safe no more
To walk the streets at night
I'm doing fine
On cloud nine
Let me tell you 'bout cloud nine
Cloud nine
You can be what you want to be
Cloud Nine
You ain't got no responsibility
Cloud nine
And every man, every man is free
Cloud nine
And you're a million miles from reality
Reality
I wanna' stay up
Higher
Up, up, up and away
Cloud nine
I wanna' say I love the life I live
And I'm gonna live the life I love
Or be on cloud nine
I, I, I, I, I, I'm ridin' high
On cloud nine
You're as free as a bird in flight
Cloud nine
There's no difference between day and night
Cloud nine
It's a world of love and harmony
Cloud nine
You're a million miles from reality
Reality
I wanna' stay up
Higher
Up, up, up and away
Cloud nine
You can be what you want to be
Cloud nine
You ain't got no responsibility
Cloud nine
Every man in his mind is free
Cloud nine
You're a million miles from reality
Cloud nine

By and by, you knew that you make me cry. (By and by, knew you'd make me cry)
And my love for you will never die. (My love will never, never die)
But I had to find out on my own
(Check yourself, check yourself)
Aww, that's what they told me. (Check yourself, check yourself)
I paid no mind. (Check yourself, check yourself)
I kept on breaking hearts, (Check yourself, check yourself)
All down the line. (Check yourself, check yourself)
Sometimes you just got to lose
That's when you pay your dues
I guess I was a fool, I guess I was a fool
To think that you'd stayed so true
Aww, I really played in the game. (Check yourself, check yourself)
I'd always win. (Check yourself, check yourself)
Now the tables turn. (Check yourself, check yourself)
And I'm on the losing end. (Check yourself, check yourself)
Oh don't, feel sorry
I had it coming, it's true
'Cause I'm losing, yes, I'm losing, I'm losing you
Before I go, I'd like for you to know
You've had my heart from the very start
But there's one more thing, before we part
And that's I'm sorry, sorry, sorry to my heart
Aww, I'm on my sad way. (Check yourself, check yourself)
Because I know I'd lost your love. (Check yourself, check yourself)
I'll kick it, like a pass. (Check yourself, check yourself)
But I'll be thinking of
The good times. (The good times)
The bad times. (The bad times)
But good or bad, happy or sad
Of memories. (Memories)
Sweet, sweet memories. (Memories)
Aww, memories are all I have
Aww, that's what they told me. (Check yourself, check yourself)
That's what they told me. (Check yourself, check yourself)
That's what they what they told me. (Check yourself, check yourself)

So in love sad as can be
'Cuz your pretty face has got the best of me
Suddenly you came into my life
And gave it meaning and pure delight
Now good looks I've learned to do without
'Cuz now I know it's love
That really counts 'cuz I know that
Beauty's only skin deep yeah, yeah, yeah
Beauty's only skin deep oh, yeah
Now you speak your words worm and sincere
That lets me know your love is sincere
A pretty face you may not possess but
What I like about it is your tenderness
A pretty face may be some guys taste
But I'll take lovin' in its place, 'cuz I know that
Beauty's only skin deep yeah, yeah, yeah
Beauty's only skin deep oh, yeah
Oh baby, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Your beauty's only skin deep yeah, yeah, yeah
Your beauty's only skin deep oh yeah
My friends ask what do I see in you?
But it goes deeper than the eye can see
You gotta pleasin' personality
And that's an ever lovin' rare quality
Now, show me a girl a girl that's fine
But'll choose the one with true lovin'
Every time 'cuz I know that
Beauty's only skin deep yeah, yeah, yeah
Beauty's only skin deep oh, yeah
So if your lookin' for a lover, oh yeah
Don't judge a book by its cover, oh yeah
So maybe your fine on the outside, oh yeah
But so untrue on the inside, oh yeah
Beauty's only skin deep yeah, yeah, yeah
Beauty's only skin deep oh, yeah
Beauty's only skin deep yeah, yeah, yeah

I saw the saddest thing other day
When an old man pass my way
Walking the streets, so all alone
All because he had no home
But the saddest thing I've ever seen
Is a tear from a woman's eye
A tear from a woman's eye
I saw a man, no shoes on his feet
But the saddest thing is to see a woman weep
A woman is a tender thing
To see her cry, a sad, sad thing
Nothing touches me deeper inside
Than a tear from a woman's eye
A tear from a woman's eye
A woman's tears dropping on her cheek
Is like a sound of thunder that loudly it rings
Because when I see her cry
I know she hurts inside
Yes, the saddest thing I've ever seen
Is a tear from a woman's eye
A tear from a woman's eye
Sad, sad thing is a tear from a woman's eye
A sad, sad thing is to see a woman cry
Sad, sad, sad thing is a tear from a woman's eye

Like a long lonely stream
I keep runnin' towards a dream
Movin' on, movin' on
Like a branch on a tree
I keep reachin' to be free
Movin' on, movin' on
'Cause there's a place in the sun
Where there's hope for everyone
Where my poor restless heart's gotta run
There's a place in the sun
And before my life is done
Got to find me a place in the sun
Like an old dusty road
I get weary from the load
Movin' on, movin' on
Like this tired troubled earth
I've been rollin' since my birth
Movin' on, movin' on
'Cause there's a place in the sun
Where there's hope for everyone
Where my poor restless heart's gotta run
There's a place in the sun
And before my life is done

Yes, I'm smiling every time you pass me by
I know you wonder, why I never cry
But let me tell you, happiness, my happiness
Is just a camouflage, just a camouflage for a broken heart
I said it is now, yes, it is now, for a broken heart
They call me the joker 'cause I, I'm so gay
But I'm just a clown 'cause I'm really not that way
'Cause all my happiness, my happiness
Is just a camouflage, just a camouflage for a broken heart
I said it is now, yes, it is now, for a broken heart
They call me the joker 'cause I, I'm so gay
But I'm just a clown 'cause I'm really not that way
'Cause all my happiness, my happiness
Is just a camouflage, just a camouflage for a broken heart
Yes, it is now, yes, it is now, for a broken heart
Ooh baby, for a broken heart

Outside my window a robin builds a nest
At last winter's gone away to rest
Once again the leaves have return to the trees
I can just feel that soft summer breeze
There's magic in the air
Winter's disappeared, it's summer
Children will be playing in the park
Days will be longer till the dark
Nights will be warm with star filled skies
A perfect setting for a girl and a guy
There's magic in the air
Green grass every, everywhere it's summer
Don't you know it's summer time
And the livin' is easy oh, so easy
Everybody sing summer time
Now that summer's here there be million things to do
Vacation near or far, whatever pleases you
Summer is the happiest season of them all
So everybody get together and have yourselves a ball
There's magic in the air
Green grass every, everywhere, it's summer
There's magic in the air
Green grass every, everywhere, it's summer
It's summer time
Magic in the air
Green grass everywhere, oh, it's summer
Take a look around you
It's summer time
Magic in the air
Green grass everywhere, oh, it's summer

Once a wise man said to me, "This advice I give you free
A woman is made of fantasy, so fan the flame"
Always keep her hopes up high, make her laugh don't make her cry
And don't let her love die, so fan the flame
A woman needs love and affection
And little things mean a lot
(Little things mean a lot)
And when she has an emotional, baby
That's why you got to fan the flame to keep it burning hot
Make her feel, she ten feet tall
Even though she short and small, so fan the flame
Her love is your reality, let her go and you will see
Just how lonely life can be, so fan the flame
A woman needs love and praising
So give her them each day
Tell her you love her, it's added protection
That's why you got to fan the flame to keep it burning hot
Once a wise man said to me, "This advice I give you free

Immature, come again
With another one, ya heard
That's right
Ninety-nine, for you mind
You can not bring back, no oh, broken heart
You can not bring back my love
So why you go and play on me?
(You tried to play on me, you tried to play on me)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Temptations of a broken heart, oh, oh
(Wha-wha-what?)
(What? What? What? What? What?)
It started out as a normal argument to make me mad
You messed with him, the lies you told
You got caught, not gonna clown
Just tempted to play back on you
Girl it's plain (It's plain)
What are you trying to prove?
You messed with me
He'll mess with you too
Girl tell me what you're trying to do-do
- Temptations of a broken heart
You can not bring back my love
I didn't mean to do you wrong
You can not bring back my love
So why you go and play on me?
You can not bring back my love
Temptations of a broken heart
You can not bring back my love
I can not think, too much on me
Never thought of love like this
(Yeah, yeah)
Would last so long but I am wrong
Truly I can fix the love we had
But you did me wrong
I brought the best out of you
That's why you want me back
I ran a game but I apologize
You ran a game but you told me lies
Temptations of a broken heart
You can not bring back
You can not bring back my love
You can not bring back
I didn't mean to do you wrong
So why you go and play on me?
You can not bring it back to me, oh yeah
Temptations of a broken heart
You can not bring back my love
You said you had a love for me
But when we fell out, you played games on me
And it's clear to see, that what you do when it's killing me
Now it's too late, what's done is done
You cannot bring back my love cause I have a broken heart
You don't know where I been, Ra-Ra back again
Came to set it straight, straight
Sippin on Cavace
Niggaz all about that pay
Ride to the top with no V8
Be mad, top 6, double 0 for the day
Tell me, tell me, tell me, what you gotta say
Took my love for granted, granted
Now I'm about to let you have this
Now I got plenty girls, wanna take me all around the world
You want me back it's too late
Found a chick to take your place
It's a girl from around the way

You show discontent
That's fine, I don't care
You're never happy anyway
You care way too much
About what everyone else thinks
They might have liked you
But then you had to change
*Chorus*
Good times will come
People will change
It could be worse you could be left with nothing
Instead you've got everything you want
You're empty inside
But only you know
You'll have everything
So it will not show
Nothing's ever good enough for you
You say you're giving up?
You say life's too hard?
That's typical for you, you never were very strong
You say it's too hard to try
And things can't get better
Like you're the only one with problems
