I don't hurt anymore, all my teardrops are dried
No more walkin' the floor with that burnin' inside
Just to think it could be, time has opened the door
And at last I am free, no, I don't hurt anymore
No use to deny, I wanted to die
The day you said we were through
But now I find you're out of my mind
And I can't believe that it's true
I've forgotten somehow
That I cared so before
Yes, it's wonderful now
I don't hurt anymore
No, no use to deny, I wanted to die
The day you said we were through
But now I find you're out of my mind
And I can't believe that it's true
I've forgotten somehow
That I cared so before
Yes, it's wonderful now
But I don't hurt anymore, yeah
And yes, it's wonderful now

[Chorus]
Look at you
Different day but same damn bags
You're on my porch
And I don't even have to ask
I see tears in your eyes
As you come inside and breakdown
So what's he done
And I hope this don't take long
Cause you know one call from him
And you'll be home before morn
Here's a friendly hug
Followed by tough love
Are you ready
[Chorus:]
He's only gonna treat you
The way he knows he can
It's all up to you my sista to show him that he can't
Have you had enough
Cause it's been long enough
Time for a change
Starting with you
No, don't say a word
Listen to Deborah for once
Cause I went thru the same thing
So I'll tell you what needs to be done
Mavis said it best
Girl respect yourself
It starts with you
You want him to be a better man
And you want him to treat you better than you treat yourself,
Girl you can help by showing him how he can
You can start by building your self esteem
Start believing you can do anything
And you'll find your man will fall in line
And if he don't than leave him behind
[Chorus]
[Chorus:]
Boy you really blow my mind (OH MY GOSH)
I'm just lookin' at you like (OH MY GOSH)
You really got the vibe I like (OH MY GOSH)
The way you comin' at me like (OH MY GOSH)
So what you tryin' to do tonight (OH MY GOSH)
I'll just roll with you tonight (OH MY GOSH)
Cuz the way you talkin' to me
'Bout the way you wanna move me
And the way you puttin' to me is like (OH MY GOSH)
The way that you came up into the spot
Caught my eyes right from the beginning
And before you even said two words to me
I knew that with you I'd be winnin'
I never been around somebody like you before
And no that aint no lie
Let me get my coat and we can hit the door
And you can take me for a ride
[Chorus]
Now I don't usually fall head over heals
For a cat that I just met
But cha talk like a baller that bigger than life
So I figured I'd take a chance (you make me wanna)
Ride with cha, slide with cha
Drive with cha on the freeway so take it easy
We can rock it all night long
As long as you wanna stay with me baby
[Chorus]
(It's all right; it's just midnight)
So don't you worry 'bout the time just get into it, into it
(Whatever ya like, is whatever I like)
So don't you stop it, don't you stop whatcha doin'
Each night you held me in your arms
Still you never did keep me warm
Conversation was a waste of time
Never even asked what was on my mind (oh)
It's funny how I can't recall your touch
Spending time alone with you is never enough
This emptiness I feel is too much
You may not understand there's been a change of plans
[Chorus:]
Mr. Lonely, you gotta go
You need to pack your bags and be out the door
Even though you were there for me
You never cared for me
Before I couldn't see but now I know
Mr. Lonely, I'm in love
I've found a real man and you need to know
And this time you won't be coming back
Cause his love will last
Mr. Lonely, who's lonely now
Two o'clock on a Sunday afternoon
Same place, same park, but where were you
I waited, but you never came
That's when he sat down, but it wasn't the same
Every word I said, he listened to
Everything he had, I was missin' in you
He's the man I never had before
I won't be needin' you no more
[Chorus]
The silence was killin' me
It almost got the best of me
Now that I've got room to breathe
I'm makin' some changes, changes
I'm stronger now; I'm wiser now
A real man wants to hold me now
It's clear to see I'll never be Mrs. Lonely
If you think you're lonely now
Wait until tonight babe
If you think you're lonely now
Wait until tonight babe
[Chorus]
Well it's a party
The lights are low and I'm seein everybody
Just havin some fun
And there's a cutie who's wavin' Hi
Givin me the eye
I guess I'm gonna give him a try, but it's
[Chorus:]
Just a dance nothing more
Leave what happens on the floor
On the floor
You can look but you can't touch because
It's just a dance nothing more
What you need my number for
Ain't no need for you to even think romance
Cause it's just a dance
You might be thinkin'
That because we're dancin close
And we're vibin' that you're gonna get lucky
Take it easy, it's just a party
So let the DJ do his thing and let the music play
Cause it's just a dance
I wanna enjoy the party and have fun like everybody
but your messin' up my groove
What did you come here to do
I won't be goin' home with you
[Chorus]
You know he's wrong, when he stays out all night long
And he don't return your calls, well I ain't got time for that
You better walk away, girl it's time to make that change
You know that all men ain't the same
Cause I be lovin' my man cuz he don't get down like that
[Chorus:]
If he's giving you more (than a little bit)
And if he's giving his all (can you handle it)
You keep holding it down
Yeah if he's givin' it up
Hold it down for the one you love
See I remember those days when they took more than they gave
And the tears rolled down my face, for someone to give me that good love
But then he came and turned my lonely nights to brighter days
And I never will be the same
Cause I be lovin' my man, ladies can you feel me
And if your man is givin' you more
[Chorus]
Is it his style- He's got the jeans and Timbs and the iced out pinky ring
Is it his ride- Got the Benz on chrome but it don't mean a thing to me
Does he spend time- takin' first class flights but I'd rather be at home
So he can touch me, slowly, cause when we're all alone, he gives me more
[Chorus]
It's obvious, that you got it goin on
And I'm contemplating
I'm curious, it you mean what you say when you say it
And if you're serious about what you wanna do
Cause I have to be honest with you
I'm not into you
Casanovas, telling me what I wanna hear
Just so they can get over
And after they get what they want, they're done
But I been there and done that
But you don't really seem like that
You're just so cool, and it just seems
[Chorus:]
Too good to be true
What you say what you do
So I gotta be careful
Don't wanna fall too soon
And if I come across sometimes being rude
It's nothing against you
It just seems, too good to be true
I'd love for us to keep doing things together
But I don't wanna rush the feeling (don't wanna rush the feeling)
We can take our time (our time)
I really don't mind
Besides I gotta know, what you waitin for
Cause I don't need no
Casanova, telling me what I wanna hear
Just so you can get over
And after you get what you want, you're done
But I been there and done that
But you don't really seem like that
You're just so cool, and it just seems
[Chorus]
Tell me if we stay together
In a month will u break it off
I've seen it happen to so many others
And I'd rather not
Go through that heartache
Heard a million stories about love
Some were good some were bad
I found that if you hold on too tight
You might lose everything you have
Didn't think my heart could easily break
When you fall in love that's a chance you take
Now I know from these lessons that I learned from loving you
[Chorus:]
I know that everybody makes mistakes
I hope you still believe it's not too late
Cause I don't care about what people think or say
I'd rather take a chance with you
I'd rather be in love than be alone
But I never knew that love could hurt so much
I found it in my heart to forgive
But it's hard to forget
Cause everyday the vision creeps in
Of you and somebody else
All my girls told me to let you go
But I they're wrong
I still love you so
I'll hold on
'Til I gain back the trust I had in you
[Chorus]
It's killing me but I'll get over it
But I made my commitment to you
Even though it's gonna leave a scar
It could never change what's in my heart
I'll do whatever to stay together
I saw you the other day
And I almost lost my mind
I remember the things we did
I can't believe it's a waste of time
And sometimes I wanna cry
And sometimes I wanna die
Please help me understand
Why can't my heart just lie
[Chorus:]
Things just ain't the same
He could never be you
You should know the pain I feel
Understand what I'm going through
I'm still in love with you
And I know that you feel it too
But I feel that I can't go on
I just want you to come back home
I'm so ashamed of me
My heart is not complete
I know you walked away
My heart wants you to stay
[Chorus]
The water's in my eyes
Can't hide what I feel inside
I said the tears keep falling down
I can feel it when you're not around babe
I've lost control of me
Yet your love's a shame to see
I just cannot help myself
I don't want nobody else
Sometimes I wanna cry
Sometimes I wanna die
Please help me understand
Why can't my heart just lie
[Chorus x 3]
Here I was rollin' in the car
I drove down past the park
Spotted a couple
Who wasn't in trouble
And they were doin' no harm
She leans down and kisses him on his lips
To give her love back he rubs her hips
Oh, I could feel it
I felt their passion
Running through my warming veins
So bad I wished that that was me
Make love like they do on TV
I see, all I seem to see
Is you and me
[Repeat verse]
[Chorus:]
How I wished that could be
Baby you and me
To become reality
In the perfect love fantasy
If I had one wish it would be
Baby, you and me
To become reality
In the perfect love fantasy
Now I'm not sayin' something's wrong with this relationship
But I know one thing, boy
It could be better
We have bedroom secrets
Sealed with a kiss
But nothing else compares to this
I'm talkin' about that real love
That true love
Can you feel me
Someday it will be you and me
Makin' love like they do on TV
I see, all I seem to see
Is you and me
[Repeat verse]
[Chorus]
With one exception
I'mma grant your wish
You see I'm diggin' your package
That's why I sealed it with a kiss
Homie's ain't understanding it
They think I'm saving you girl
Never take me for granted
'Cause I'm craving you girl
See my mental state is streetlight
I'm like a fantasy
Spontaneous of mind
I turn your wish into reality
I greet you in the land of lovemaking
A true man, true to you, you
ot even thinking about shaking a spot
We keep it steamy hot
Keep it full-blown baby
Get it, get it, don't stop
Just you and me baby
Touching up stuff
Young dear keep it going
And make it _ like a _
What, ain't it evident that the mood
Goin' to be hanging on us
Getting' love twisted with love
See, I smoked that drama
Go on and tell it
And I could show you
But yes I can tell it
[Chorus X 3]
My one wish would be
For you to make sweet love to me
Like the first time
Baby all the time
You don't miss me now
You don't miss me now
One day you will
Be walking down the street
And you'll see someone and she will look a lot like me
And you'll think about someone you left behind
And it will make you cry
One day you will
Be starting out your day
And you'll look inside you coffee cup and see my face
And you'll realize the sad mistake you made
And it will be too late
One day you'll wonder why you ever said good-bye
And you will wish you were still right here by my side
But I won't be around
You don't miss me now
You don't miss me now
One day you will
Never find a love like what we had
Never find someone like me again
Through the tears one day you'll see
That the one you need is me
You'll want me back again
You'll want me back again
One day you will
Be driving in your car
And you're gonna hear a song that's gonna break your heart
And you'll wish you'd said those words you didn't say
It will be too late
One day you'll wonder why you ever said good-bye
And you will wish you were still right here, right by my side
But baby I won't be around
You don't miss me now
You don't miss me now
One day you will
Be walking down the street
And you'll see someone and she will look a lot like me
And you'll think about someone you left behind
And it will make you cry
You don't miss me now
You don't miss me now
[Repeat 2 x]
But one day you will
One day you will
I've spent all my life, on a search to find
The love who'll stay for eternity
The heaven sent to fulfill my needs
But when I turn around
Again, love has knocked me down
My heart got broken oh, it hurt so bad
I'm sad to say, love wins again
So I placed my heart under lock and key
To take some time, and take care of me
But I turn around and you're standing here
[Chorus:]
How did you get here
Nobody's supposed to be here
I've tried that love thing for the last time
My heart says no, no!
Nobody's supposed to be here
But you came along and changed my mind
This time I swear I'm through
But if only you knew
How many times I've said those words
Then fall again, when will I ever learn
Knowing these tears I cry
This lovely black butterfly
Must take a chance, and spread my wings
Love can make you do some crazy things
So I placed my heart under lock and key
To take some time, and take care of me
But I turn around and you're standing here
No, nobody, no, no, no, no, no, no, ooh!
No, no, no...
[Chorus x 2]
I wanna rock with you
I wanna rock with you
I wanna rock with you
[Chorus:]
Don't you worry love is on the way
As we lay we'll rock the night away
You just name the time and place
I know you miss me
And I've been missing you
Before you know it
I'll be right there next to you
No matter the distance
You're still in my heart
Baby I'm with you
Even though we are apart
So don't worry
[Chorus x 2]
I'm never too busy
When it comes to loving you
Hold on I'll be there
'Cause I have plans for me and you
We can hide away in our secret place
The two of us alone again
A special place
Where our love began
So don't you worry
[Chorus x 2]
We can hide away in our secret place
Just you and me, hide away late at night baby
A special place where our love began
That's where our love began
[Repeat chorus to fade]
I used to think about it back then
You walked in and said you're leaving me
Good-bye, good-bye
I don't know why I never woke up
Torch of your love you'd given me had died
So I erased you from my mind, but-
[Chorus: (Part 1)]
Just when I think I'm over you
I feel your body cry
Making love to you
Just when I think I'm over you
I hear a song that plays
That we once danced to
I used to think about how you'd pay
The way you would hurt
The way that'd say good-bye, good-bye
And all the lies, they did you no good
You'd live with yourself
I hated you inside 'cause you were over me
[Chorus Part 1]
[Chorus: (Part 2)]
Just when I think I'm over you
I feel the pain again whenever
I see you
Just when I thought that we were done
Baby, time has taught me that you were the one
When you were there I didn't realize
All the things you meant to me
Till you were gone
And now you're just a memory
I'm still not over you
So let's dance, make 'em dance
Come on and dance
I'm still not over you
So let's dance, make 'em dance
Come on and dance
[Repeat Chorus Parts 1 & 2 to fade]
Either way, you're gonna know
'Cause what I'm feeling, it's gonna show
Friends may say you're out of my league
But I won't be discouraged
'Cause they just can't see
[Chorus:]
I won't give up that easy
No matter how they tease me
You pick me up and I don't wanna come down
I won't give up that easy
'Cause this feels so good to me
I get this feeling every time you come 'round
Who'd have thought that it would be you
To steal my heart and make me feel the way I do
Now all this time, you've been just a friend
You see, they think I'm crazy to want you for my man
There's no way to explain
What I'm going through
All I know is I'm in love with you
[Chorus]
Don't wanna be without you
'Cause every time I think about you
I feel like I'm going crazy out of my head
I just wanna figure out
How I can go about
Making you feel the same
[Chorus x 2]
It was a cold day in December
I remember it so well
You captured my whole being
And you left me in a spell
You warmed my heart with passion
Desiring all of you
You left me cold in the summer
I wish that I only knew but-
[Chorus:]
I never knew that you would be the one
To come along and snatch my heart and run
Away from me with no explanation why
I never knew what we had would die
All I wanna do is hide away
From all the hurt and pain of yesterday
Don't you see the tears, the hurt inside
I never knew, please tell me why
All the nights you left me crying
Keeping company with my fears
That some day you'd leave me lonely
And that's exactly what you did
I swore that I was your baby
The darkest night for you I'd bear
Now that I need you here with me
I call your name and you're not there
You left me standing
So empty-handed
Out in the cold
How was I to know
That my love didn't matter
And my world was shattered
'Cause you left me here
Drowning in tears, oh why
[Chorus]
After we made plans to spend our lives together
I thought what we had was meant to be forever
Oh why did our love have to go away
I don't know how, I don't know when
But I know, I'll never love this way again
[Chorus x 2]
I never knew, I never knew
I never knew it could be like this
[Repeat until fade]
There were words between us
Words that hurt inside
Still that's just no reason to say the word "good-bye"
We can't let go of something beautiful
We can't just let it die
Can't you and I just try to find one reason
To just give us one more try
[Chorus:]
Couldn't love heal the pain
Couldn't time take the tears away
Couldn't you, you and me
Try again
Couldn't we
Couldn't you, couldn't me, couldn't we
Couldn't we
Start the story over
Turn the page tonight
There's nothing wrong between us
That love could not make right
Can't we forgive and let our hearts forget
Let the love back inside
Can't you and I just get back to those feelings
And feel them just one more time
[Chorus]
Couldn't we turn back the hands of time
To a time when love was right
To those nights when the touch was sweet
Can't we find our way back
Before we lose everything
Couldn't love heal the pain
Couldn't time take the tears away
Couldn't you, you and me
Try again
Couldn't we stay together
Couldn't we make it better
Couldn't we turn the page
And start the story over
Couldn't we bring the love back
Couldn't we have one more chance
Couldn't we hold each other just a little closer
[Repeat verse to fade]
Last night I slept alone
I stayed at home
For the first time since you've been gone babe
No friends to understand
To lend a helping hand
To ease the greatest pain I've ever known
You walked so easily
It still remains a mystery
Remember what you promised me
But you went away
And it's such a shame
How could you turn your back on me baby
[Chorus:]
If you don't really want me
If you don't really love me
Then who do you love
If you don't really need me
If you don't really love me
Then who do you love
I gave you everything
A man could ever need
I was there whenever you would call me baby
But somehow your feelings changed
You don't act the same
I guess you're not the man that I once knew at all
You walked so easily
It still remains a mystery
Remember what you promised me
And now the lovin's gone
Oh where did we go wrong
How could you turn back on me
[Chorus x 2]
I once was blind but baby now I see, yeah
That I'm not the one
Who can fill your every need
I painted a picture so clear, it's reality
Now I know, yes I know
That you're not the one for me, oh baby
I can't fill your every need
Now I know
When the time is right
And you close your eyes
And you dream at night
Who do you love
[Repeat verse 4 x]
[Chorus]
When the time is right
And you close your eyes
Tell me what you're dreamin' babe
Who do you love
Last night I slept alone
I stayed at home
For the first time since you've been gone babe
No friends to understand
To lend a helping hand
To ease the greatest pain I've ever known
How you walked away so easily
Still remains a mystery to me
Don't you remember that you promised me
Yes you promised me that you'd never leave boy
But you went away babe
And it's such a shame
How could you turn your back on me
[Chorus:]
If you really don't want me
If you really don't need me
If you really don't love me
Tell me who do you love
If you really don't want me
If you really don't need me
If you really don't love me
Then who do you love
I gave, gave everything
A man could ever need
I was there whenever you would call me baby
But somehow your feelings changed
You don't act the same
I guess you're not the man that I once knew at all
How you walked away so easily
Still remains a mystery to me
Don't you remember that you promised me
Yes you promised me that you'd never leave boy
Now the love is gone babe
Tell me what went wrong
How could you leave me hanging on Oh baby
[Chorus x 2]
I once was blind but baby now I see
That I'm not the one
Who can fill your every need
I painted a picture so clear, it's reality
Now I know, yes I know
That you're not the one for me
Ooooh baby, oh yeah
Who do you love baby
If you don't want me
If you don't need me
How could you walk away from me
Baby you promised you'd never leave
Slept alone since you've been gone
The greatest pain I've ever known
Oh babe, oh babe oh yeah
[Chorus x 2]
Oh-wo (2x)
Hey, mmm
(That's the only time I get sentimental)
I used to miss you well
But I'll never let it get into me
'Cause I didn't take you serious, baby
Now to be without your love
Only makes me realize
But I could appending you, honey
Bridge:
Now that you're gone I want you more
I said it slapped me on my face
And then my friends don't understand
Because I had the chance
I don't know why
Chorus:
I'm going crazy alone
And the days in my heart
Ain't the same
And I don't even think
'Cause I used to think about you
That's the only time I get sentimental, yeah
That's the reason why I can't let go of you, yeah
That's the only time I get sentimental
I miss you day and night
Seems like you're still here
I'd rather be together, honey
Now that I am lost in the world
I can't believe I'm on my own
I should've been looking that love
Bridge
Chorus (2x)
That's the only time I get sentimental
Bridge
Chorus (2x)
That's the only time I get (2x)
That's the only time I get sentimental
You never knew how much you hurt me
Baby, you never cared how much I cried
Baby, I gave my heart to you
You just walked away
Now you've come back
And now you wanna stay
But you're
Chorus:
Never gonna make me cry again, again
And you're never gonna break my heart again
Like you did then
No, you're never gonna make me cry
No, you're never gonna break my heart again
What made you think that I'd forgive you
(What made you)
What made you think that I'd forget
Thought you could walk back in my world
But I've closed the door
Can't let you in, baby, anymore
And you're
Chorus
You've had your last one more chance
There's no more for you, baby
So don't knock on my door
You're not welcome no more
And you're
Chorus x2
I've closed the door
You're not welcome anymore
I've closed the door
Yesterday was not just another day
Not like before
Yesterday I saw your smiling face
Love walked through my door
One precious moment changed my life
One tender kiss made everything right
One touch from you and this world was mine
It was in your arms where I found forever
[Chorus:]
Cried my first tears of joy last night
Heaven shined a light
All my dreams came true
My first night with you
Felt the sun shine so bright on me
Chased the rain from my heart
Through the storm, through the darkest night
I found my brightest star
One magic moment
Made one magic night
I fell in love with one look in your eyes babe
I never knew, I could feel so alive
Darling in your arms I could feel forever
[Chorus]
One precious moment changed my life
One tender kiss made everything right, baby
One touch from you and this world was mine
It was in your arms where I found forever
[Chorus x 2]
Friends tell me I am crazy
That I'm wasting time with you
You'll never be mine
That's not the way I see it
'Cause I feel you're already mine
Whenever you're with me
Chorus:
People always talk about reputation
I don't care what you do to them
Just be good to me
Friends are always telling me
You're a user
I don't care 'bout your other girls
Just be good to me
You may have many others
But I know when you're with me
You are all mine
Friends seem to always listen
To the bad things that you do
You'll never do that to me
Chorus
Life is a game of chances
So I'll take my chance with you
And you I won't try to change
We talk about it and I'd
Rather have a piece of you
Than to have all of nothing
So just be good to me
And in the morning
In the afternoon, baby
Just be good to me
I'm not the jealous type
And I won't let you down when you need me
I'll be around
I'll be good to you, you'll be good to me
We will be together, be together
Friends are always telling me
You're a user
I don't care 'bout your other girls
Just be good to me
I'm not the jealous type
I won't let you down when you need me
I'll be around
I'll be good to you, you'll be good to me
You've gotta know
You are my heart and soul
I can't just let go
I gave you years
Cried a river of tears
So you wanna change
Baby who's to blame
My love burns like a flame
Yes I love you still
And I guess I always will
[Chorus:]
I'm your natural woman
I'll be there when there's no one
'Cause my loving is real
But you don't see it now
Since you put me down
But I'll be there for you when there's no one around
You've been my life
For you I've sacrificed
Stayed up every night
That you didn't call
How I worried all night long
Things feel so strange
Last night I called out your name
I thought I saw your face
Here next to me
Maybe someday soon it will be
[Chorus]
Baby can you tell me how could you leave me lonely
Baby when you know that I've given my only
Heart to you, whatever you do
Baby don't be a fool
I'll give you time
Baby to make up your own mind
Whatever you decide
I won't break the vows
Oh no, no not ever, no not now
[Repeat chorus to fade]
This bitter earth
Well, what fruit it bears
What good is love
That no one shares
And if my life is like the dust
Mmm, that hides the glow of a rose
What good am I
Heaven only knows
Lord, this bitter earth
Yes, can be so cold
Today you're young
Too soon you're old
But while a voice within me cries
I know heaven will answer my call
And this bitter earth
Ooh, may not be so bitter after all
But while a voice within me cries
I know heaven will answer my call
And this bitter earth
Hush, don't say a word
'Cause I already know what you're thinkin', yeah
Things just got more complicated but we can't fake it
This is real, so let's just go with it
We became more than just friends
Where do we go from here?
After the mornin', after I let you in
What's the next move to make the mornin' after
Hush, don't say a word
I can't even explain what I'm feelin', feelin', lyin' next to you
Ooh, feels so good don't let the words ruin the moment
Please don't say nothin'
I know you might feel guilty babe
Don't let the mind do the speakin' just let the heart do the leadin'
'Cause we gave each other what we both wanted
Look what we've started
We became more than just friends
Where do we go from here?
After the mornin', after I let you in
What's the next move to make the mornin' after
Ooh, baby I can't help but see it
You gave me what I needed
There's no way that I can deny
That I love you so
The longer while I'm with you
The more I see that I need you
Let's take what we have and make it last
Forevermore
We became more than just friends
Where do we go from here?
After the mornin', after I let you in
What's the next move to make the mornin' after
We became more than just friends
Where do we go from here?
After the mornin', after I let you in
What's the next move to make the mornin' after
We became more than just friends
Where do we go from here?
After the mornin', after I let you in
What's the next move to make the mornin' after
They ask me how I knew
My true love was true
I of course replied, something here inside
Cannot be denied
They said, some day you'll find
All who love are blind
When your heart's on fire you must realize
Smoke gets in your eyes
So I chaffed them and I gaily laughed
To think they could doubt my love
Yet today my love has flown away
I am without my love
Now, laughing friends deride
Tears I cannot hide, so I smile and say
When a lovely flame dies
Smoke gets in your eyes
So I chaffed them and I gaily laughed
To think they could doubt my love
And yet today my love has flown away
I am without my love
Now, laughing friends deride
Tears I cannot hide, so I smile and say
When a lovely flame dies
Hey Deb
Thank you for being woman enough to come
Whitney what's this all about?
I know he's leaving me for you
Who said that, who told you that is true
What is he telling you?
Could it be the same things that he told me?
He told me that he loved me, I heard that
He told me I was beautiful
How did you know how did you know?
'Cause I've played that scene before
This is a retake of my life
I was his star for many nights
Now the roles have changed
And you're the leading lady in his life
Lights, camera now you're on
Just remember you've been warned
Enjoy it now cause it won't last
Same script different cast
What you're saying could be true
But how can I take advice from you
I'm not hating but I wish the one before me
Would have warned me too babe
Don't say no more uncover your ears girl
I'm not listening but I know you hear me
Maybe my reasons are wrong
But I know that you believe me
This is a retake of my life
I was his star for many nights
Now the roles have changed
And you're the leading lady in his life
Lights, camera now you're on
Just remember you've been warned
Enjoy it now cause it won't last
Same script different cast
It's your fault you didn't love him enough
That's the problem I loved him too much
And when you love him he becomes un-attracted to you
Oh no he's changing now I'll prove you wrong so go away
Leave us the hell alone cause he love's me
He'll hurt you, he'll stay with me, he'll leave you
For sure, for sure
This is a retake of my life
I was his star for many, many, many nights
Now, now, now, now, now, now the roles have changed
And I'm the leading lady in his life
Lights, camera now your on
Just remember you've been warned
Enjoy it now it because won't last
No same script different cast
This is a retake of you're life
You were his star for many nights
But now the roles have changed
And I'm the leading lady in his life
Lights, camera now you're on
Just remember you've been warned
Enjoy it now cause this will last
I'm the future you're his past
This is a retake of my life
I was his star for many nights
Now the roles have changed
And you're the leading lady in his life
Lights, camera now your on
Just remember you've been warned
Enjoy it now it won't last
I've spent all my life,
On a search to find
The love who'll stay for eternity,
That heaven sent to fullfil my needs
But when I turn around,
Againlove has knocked me down
My heart is broke,
You know it hurts so bad
Im sad to say love wins again
(chorus)
So I place my heart under lock and key
To take some time and take care of me
But I turn around and your standing here
How did you get here
Nobodys supposed to be here
I've tried that love thing for the last time
My heart says no, no!
Nobodys supposed to be here
But you came along and changed my mind
Again love I swear Im through
But if only you knew
How many times I've said those words
And fall again will i ever learn
Knowing the tears I've cried
This lovely black butterfly
Must take a chance and spread my wings
Love can make you do some crazy things
(chorus)
But I turn around and your standing here
Standing here ohh ohh
No,no,no,no,no,
No,no,no,no,no,
No ohhhhhhh ouh ohhhhh ohh oh
Oh yeah oh yeah
You've gotta know
You've won my heart and soul
I can't just let go
I gave you years
crying a river of tears
So you want a change
baby, whose to blame
My love burns like a flame
Guess our love is dead
And I guess I always will
Chorus: I'm your natural woman
I'll be there when there's no one
Cause my loving is real
But you dont see it now
since you put me down
But i'll be there for you when theres no one around
You've been my life
for you I've sacrificed
stayed up every night that you didn't call
how I worried all alone
Things feeling so strange
last night I called out your name
Thought I saw your face here next to me
Maybe someday soon it will be
Chorus
Baby can you tell me how could you leave lonely
Baby when you know that I'll give you my only
heart to you, whatever you do
Baby don't be a fool
I gave you time baby to make up your mind
what ever you decide I want break a vaul oh no
Mainly you have fire on my mind
More than you ought to be
Mainly I find, you're on my mind
More than you ought to be
Thoughts of you should bring me joy
But then you only bring misery
Well, well, I tried to act gay seemed to have fun
But I'm finding a bottle that can't be one
'Cause you're on my mind more than you ought to be
Thoughts of you should bring me joy
But then you only bring misery
Now beyond happiness you bring, really isn't fair
But I payin' a heaven, heaven above someday you'll have to care
And keep me on your mind more than I ought to be
But I hope my thoughts bring you joy
And not a whole lot of misery, oh
On the day I was born, said my father, said he
"I've an elegant legacy waiting for ye"
'Tis wine for your lips and a song for your heart
To sing it whenever the world falls apart
Look, look, look to the rainbow
Follow it over the hills and the streams
Look, look, look to the rainbow
Follow the fellow who follows a dream
So I bundled my heart and I roam the world free
To the east with a lark, to the west with the sea
And I searched all the earth and I scanned all the skies
And I found it at last in my own true love's eyes
Look, look, look to the rainbow
Follow it over the hills and the streams
Look, look, look to the rainbow
Follow the fellow who follows a dream
Follow the fellow, follow the fellow
Oh you think you found somebody that could treat you like I did
Spend their time doing for you, like I did
And be there when you say I need you, like I did
Now this I can't believe
Now do you really think she'll hold it down for you like I did
Take all this foolishness from you like I did
See if she doesn't she will leave you like I did
Then don't come runnin' to me
It could've been you and me but everything I feel is gone
You had a good thing in me now it's gone
The love I had for you is suddenly gone away from me
It could've been you and me but I feel like my heart is gone
I feel like a part of me and yes it is gone
I said I don't want to leave but I had to get gone
'Cause you hurt me
I don't need nobody who can't do right by me
I don't need you baby 'cause I'm worth much more you'll see
So just go 'cause I know you cannot be faithful
Don't believe she's like me, just do your thing
I choose to leave
Now when you realize you really had a good thing, like you did
Then you'll realize you dogged me, like you did
Wished you never though of cheating like you did
Maybe then you'll see
It wasn't cool breaking promises to me like you did
Had no reason to deny me, like you did
Had no shame, you still lied to me like you did
Now it's easy to leave
It could've been you and me but everything I feel is gone
You had a good thing in me now it's gone
The love I had for you is suddenly gone away from me
It could've been you and me but I feel like my heart is gone
I feel like a part of me and yes it is gone
I said I don't want to leave but I had to get gone
'Cause you hurt me
I don't need nobody who can't do right by me
I don't need you baby 'cause I'm worth much more you'll see
So just go 'cause I know you cannot be faithful
Don't believe she's like me, just do your thing
I choose to leave
No matter what you do
Don't care what you say, gotta get away
I won't be second to no one
I can live with this choice I made
Won't look back, no way
I can make it on my own without you
I don't need nobody who can't do right by me
I don't need you baby 'cause I'm worth much more you'll see
So just go 'cause I know you cannot be faithful
Don't believe she's like me, just do your thing
I choose to
I don't need nobody who can't do right by me
I don't need you baby 'cause I'm worth much more you'll see
So just go 'cause I know you cannot be faithful
Don't believe she's like me, just do your thing
I choose to
It could've been you and me but everything I feel is gone
You had a good thing in me now it's gone
The love I had for you is suddenly gone away from me
It could've been you and me but I feel like my heart is gone
I feel like a part of me and yes it is gone
I said I don't want to leave but I had to get gone
Baby, it's over
Tryin' to forget about
Ordinary things, typical, predictable
Baby, I knew the end before it started
You got me feelin' like I owed you something
'Cause you were there at times when I had nothing
But you threw it all away with the shady things you do
Baby please forgive me
For what I'm about to say and what I'm about to do
I can't take no more
I know you ain't been true, ain't got no love for you
You've been cheatin' and tellin' me lies
You've been creepin' while I'm sleepin' at night
And you've been chasin' every girl in sight
And you've been messin' 'round and lyin' down
It's over now
You've been cheatin' and tellin' me lies
And you've been creepin' while I'm sleepin' at night
And you've been chasin' every girl in sight
And you've been messin' 'round and lyin' down
It's over now
I ignore my intuition and pass it off as a suspicion
But you were just so bold, you kept puttin' it in my face
I can't deny I let you hurt me
Baby please forgive me
For what I'm about to say and what I'm about to do
I can't take no more
I know you ain't been true, ain't got no love for you
You've been cheatin' and tellin' me lies
You've been creepin' while I'm sleepin' at night
And you've been chasin' every girl in sight
And you've been messin' 'round and lyin' down
It's over now
You've been cheatin' and tellin' me lies
And you've been creepin' while I'm sleepin' at night
And you've been chasin' every girl in sight
And you've been messin' 'round and lyin' down
It's over now
When you were down I helped to pick you up
Instead you kept lookin' for the one
When all the while what you were searching for
Was in front of your face
Just forget it, you'll regret it
It's really over now
Just turn around and watch me walk
I'm gone
You've been cheatin' 'round and tellin' me lies
And 'round
And you've been messin' 'round and lyin' down
And 'round
And you've been sleepin' 'round and 'round
And messin' 'round
And you've been messin' 'round and lyin' down
And 'round
You've been cheatin' and tellin' me lies
You've been creepin' while I'm sleepin' at night
And you've been chasin' every girl in sight
And you've been messin' 'round and lyin' down
It's over now
You've been cheatin' and tellin' me lies
And you've been creepin' while I'm sleepin' at night
And you've been chasin' every girl in sight
And you've been messin' 'round and lyin' down
It's over now
You've been cheatin' and tellin' me lies
And you've been creepin' while I'm sleepin' at night
And you've been chasin' every girl in sight
And you've been messin' 'round and lyin' down
Poor man take a trip in my rocket ship
We'll have a lovely afternoon
Kiss the world good-bye and away we'll fly
Our destination moon
We'll travel fast as a light to win, out of sight
The turf will be like a toy balloon
What a feel you'll get riding on my jet
A destination moon
Oh we'll go up, up, up, up
Straight to the moon, we two
High in the starry blue
I'll be out of this world with you
So when we steal in my space mobile
Supersonic honeymoon
Leave your past below, pull the switch let's go
Our destination moon
Oh we'll go up, up, up, up
Straight to the moon, we two
High in the starry blue
I'll be out of this world with you
So when we steal in my space mobile
A supersonic honeymoon
Leave your past below pull the switch let's go
Our destination, we'll fly high up in the sky
It's your life
Things may not always go right for you
In those times just leave it behind
'Cause sometimes you gotta play the game
Just to survive without losing yourself
It's a fight, it's true
It takes time, don't have all the answers
No matter how hard it gets
Hold on to what's inside
Don't never let nobody bring you down, girl
Don't never let nobody tear your world apart
Look in the mirror and see who you are
Beautiful U R
In the dark the paint chips have waited
Your heart so deep
Can't you see? See the light in the distance
Open up your eyes, look, look to the sky
And believe
There's much more to life when you're free
That's the key
And in time you will find all the answers
Don't have to lose your pride
Hold on to what's inside
Don't never let nobody bring you down, girl
Don't never let nobody tear your world apart
Look in the mirror and see who you are
Beautiful U R
Don't never let nobody bring you down, girl
Don't never let nobody tear your world apart
Look in the mirror and see who you are
Beautiful U R
Don't care what they say anymore
There's no time to be insecure
I'm leavin' it all on the door
She's staring at him in the face
She's taking it day by day
I'm finally on my way
Don't never let nobody bring you down, girl
Don't never let nobody tear your world apart
Look in the mirror and see who you are
Beautiful U R
Don't never let nobody bring you down, girl
Don't never let nobody tear your world apart
Look in the mirror and see who you are
Beautiful U R, beautiful U R
You got what it takes baby
Woo, come and sing with me
Well, it takes more than a robin to make the winter go
And it takes two lips of fire to melt away the snow
Well, it takes two hearts a-cookin' to make a fire grow
Ooh baby, you've got what it takes, yeah
You know it takes a lot of kissin' to make a romance sweet
Mmm, it takes a whole lot of lovin' to make my life complete
And it takes a whole lot of man, yes, it does to knock me off my feet
Oh, oh baby, see you've got what it takes, yes, you do
And I say, mmm, oh, ooh
You know you've got just what it takes
And it takes more than an effort to stay away from you
And it takes more than a lifetime to prove that I'll be true
But it takes somebody really special to make me say, I do
Oh and baby, you've got what it takes, yes, you do
Ah, mmm, ah, mmm
See you know you've got just what it takes
'Cause it takes more than an effort to stay away from you
And it takes more than a lifetime to prove that I'll be true
But it takes somebody special to make me say, I do
And you know baby, baby, see you've got what it takes, yes, you do
Oh baby, baby, baby, baby, you've got what it takes, yes, you do
Oh baby, baby, you, you've got what it takes
Oh, don't matter if you're going gray baby
Don't matter how you wear your hair baby
Don't matter if you wear those fancy clothes
Oh, it don't matter where you wanna go, I'll be with you
Yes, I do, yes, I love you
And you, you, you, you've got what it takes
Oh, baby, oh you, you, you, you've got what, what it takes there
Baby, baby, baby, you've got what it takes
Really something special about you, really something special about you
To just act like
We never were
To come around
And not show hurt
How dare we greet
By shaking hands
Just months ago
I was your man
(Was your man)
Verbally we agreed it was over
and we were through
I'm trying to compose myself
But I just cant get over you
We cant be friends
We cant be friends
we cant ne friends
Cause I'm still in love
With. You
I went by mothers saw your car there
To her your still family
and it don't seem fair
For everyone to just go on
I tried and I cant do it
When you're in love
Some things you take for granted
Until someone pulls it apart
And leaves you with half of your heart
How do I trade
The best I had for less
Without giving up
Should I slowly accept that we'll be no more than just friends
How do I know
When to let go
I know what I'm feeling inside
But part of me still wants to try
Chorus:
So tell me
Where do we go from here
Why's my heart filled with so much fear
When all that you are
Is all I need and more
There's no winning bets
The battle's just begun
I know it's over
But I still feel the same
You'll always remain number one
'Cause letting go
More and so much
I know what I'm feeling inside
But part of me still wants to try
Chorus x2
Letting go
More and so much
I know what I'm feeling inside
But part of me still wants to try
Baby, it's over

And you've been chasin' every girl in sight
And you've been messin' 'round and lyin' down
It's over now
You've been cheatin' and tellin' me lies
And you've been creepin' while I'm sleepin' at night
And you've been chasin' every girl in sight
And you've been messin' 'round and lyin' down
I'm going down
When I hear the sound
The sound of my tears
Verse 1
Always the life of the party
Always the clown of the class
All my friends see me happy, baby
But happy is only a mask
Nobody knows
When I'm alone inside my room
I sing another tune
Chorus:
I'm going down
When I hear the sound
The sound of my tears when you're not around
Its all I can do when I listen to
the sound of my tears baby when I'm missing you
Verse 2
Dont mind the sounds of the city
Dont mind the noise of the crowd
Just when I'm lonely with my thoughts of you
the silent is always too loud
Pay it no mind, you know the truth behind the smile
its only just a lie
Chorus
'Cause I'm going down I hear the sound
The sound of my tears when your not around
Its all I can do when I listen to
The sounds of my tears baby when I'm missing you
Chorus
Pay it no mind, you know the truth behind the smile
its only just a lie
I can't believe that a year has passed
It seems like yesterday was that day in September, yeah
Yeah, ooh yeah, I remember the day in September
Listen, we started off as the best of friends
No intention of falling in love again
He held me there in my time of need
My heart was set free, what a sweet memory
The day I fell in love, it was so beautiful
His hands, his tender touch
I remember the day in September
When we fell in love
It was an unexpected night
The sun was somewhere, but out of sight
So familiar, yet unexplored and new
We surrendered to our love in bloom
The day I fell in love, it was so beautiful
His hands, his tender touch
I remember the day in September
When we fell in love
I couldn't believe it was love
The passion we felt between us
The warmth of your touch, it was a night to remember
On the day we fell in love in September
The day I fell in love, it was so beautiful
His hands, his tender touch
I remember the day in September
When we fell in love
I couldn't believe it was love
The passion we felt between us
The warmth of your touch, it was a night to remember
On the day we fell in love in September
The day I fell in love, it was so beautiful
His hands, his tender touch
I remember the day in September
When we fell in love
The day I fell in love
I remember the day in September
When we fell in love
Ooo, ooo, oh yeah
Oh yeah
Can you pretend to be the man I should have been with?
Can we make the life you know I should have had?
Can we do a better job of pretending that you really care
Or I'll have to give the part to someone else
You seem to have an important part, the leading role of my heart
You played it well, a long time ago, until I started falling in love
And then you changed your character and avoided all of your lines
Now the man I love is gone, now, can you play his part of this jive?
Can you pretend to be the man I should have been with?
Can we make the life you know I should have had?
Can we do a better job of pretending that you really care
Or I'll have to give the part to someone else
Love is like a see-saw, it takes two in order for it to work
I working hard, I'm playing my part, but the scene still won't work
And rehearsals are long because your timing is all wrong
So I'll find someone who loves me and who can play your part for life
I deserve a lot better than this
And I'm tired of acting like
It's okay for me to give you my love
Recieve nothing back in return
Can you pretend to be the man I should have been with?
Can we make the life you know I should have had?
Can we do a better job of pretending that you really care
Or I'll have to give the part to someone else
Can you pretend to be the man I should have been with?
Can we make the life you know I should have had?
Can we do a better job of pretending that you really care
Or I'll have to give the part to someone else
My radio
Goes on and on
My radio
It won't be long
Somebody, somebody's been telling me
That you've been doing me wrong, now
What's going on between me and you
Somebody, somebody keeps telling me
To check up on my love
Don't care to hear it
But what bothers me is
Bridge:
(They all really know about us)
How you keep on doing me wrong
And then singing that same old song
(And you don't really know about love)
Said I heard it all before
And I don't wanna hear no more
Chorus:
Just like my radio
You keep playing that same old song
It goes on and on
Every time you come my way
My radio
You keep playing that same old song
And it won't be long
Before I'm on my way
Everybody, everybody keeps telling me
That you're no good for loving
And there's no way to believe in you
Because you keep on showing me
That what they say is true, now
And what am I supposed to do when
Bridge
Chorus x2
You're just like my
Chorus
There's nothing you can say to me
When I don't know what to believe
I'd rather be without your love
Then listen to it all
Each night you held me in your arms
Still you never did keep me warm
Conversation was a waste of time
You never even asked what was on my mind, oh I
It's funny how I can't recall your touch
Spending time alone with you is never enough
This emptiness I feel is too much
You may not understand there's been a change of plans
Mr. Lonely, you gotta go
You need to pack your bags and be out the door
Even though you were there for me
You never cared for me
Before I couldn't see but now I know
Mr. Lonely, I'm in love
I've found a real man and you need to know
And this time you won't be coming back
'Cause his love will last
Mr. Lonely, who's lonely now?
Two o'clock on a Sunday afternoon
Same place, same park but where were you
I waited but you never came
That's when he sat down, but it wasn't the same, oh I
Every word I said, he listen to
Everything he had, I was missin' in you
He's the man I never had before
I won't be needin' you no more
Mr. Lonely, you gotta go
You need to pack your bags and be out the door
Even though you were there for me
You never cared for me
Before I couldn't see but now I know
Mr. Lonely, I'm in love
I've found a real man and you need to know
And this time you won't be coming back
'Cause his love will last
Mr. Lonely, who's lonely now?
The silence was killin' me
It almost got the best of me
And now that I've got room to breathe
I'm makin' some changes, changes
I'm stronger now
I'm wiser now
A real man wants to hold me now
It's clear to see I'll never be Mrs. Lonely
If you think you're lonely now
Wait until tonight my babe, my babe my babe
If you think you're lonely now
Wait until tonight my babe, oh yeah
Mr. Lonely, you gotta go
You need to pack your bags and be out the door
Even though you were there for me
You never cared for me
Before I couldn't see but now I know
Mr. Lonely, I'm in love
I've found a real man and you need to know
And this time you won't be coming back
'Cause his love will last
Mr. Lonely, who's lonely now?
Mr. Lonely, you gotta go
You need to pack your bags and be out the door
Even though you were there for me
You never cared for me
Before I couldn't see but now I know
You've been cheatin' and tellin' me lies
You've been creepin' while I'm sleepin' at night
And you've been chasin' every girl in sight
You've been messin' 'round and lyin' down
Try to forget about it, ordinary things, typical, predictable
Baby, I knew the end before it started
You got me feelin' like I owed you something
'Cause you were there at times when I had nothing
But you threw it all away with the shady things you do
Baby, please forgive me for what I'm about to say
And what I'm about to do I can't take no more
I know you ain't been true, ain't got no love for you
You've been cheatin' and tellin' me lies
You've been creepin' while I'm sleepin' at night
And you've been chasin' every girl in sight
You've been messin' 'round and lyin' down
It's over now
You've been cheatin' and tellin' me lies
You've been creepin' while I'm sleepin' at night
And you've been chasin' every girl in sight
You've been messin' 'round and lyin' down
It's over now
I ignore my intuition and pass it off as a suspicion
You were just too bold, you kept puttin' it in my face
I can't deny I let you hurt me
Baby, please forgive me for what I'm about to say
And what I'm about to do I can't take no more
I know you ain't been true, ain't got no love for you
You've been cheatin' and tellin' me lies
You've been creepin' while I'm sleepin' at night
And you've been chasin' every girl in sight
You've been messin' 'round and lyin' down
It's over now
You've been cheatin' and tellin' me lies
You've been creepin' while I'm sleepin' at night
And you've been chasin' every girl in sight
You've been messin' 'round and lyin' down
It's over now
When you were down, I helped to pick you up
Instead you kept lookin' for the one
When all the while what you were searching for
Was in front of your face
Just forget it, you'll regret it, it's really over now
Just turn around and watch me walk
I'm gone, I ain't down, no no no no
'Cause I'll be walking out
You've been cheatin' and tellin' me lies
You've been creepin' while I'm sleepin' at night
And you've been chasin' every girl in sight
You've been messin' 'round and lyin' down
It's over now
You've been cheatin' and tellin' me lies
You've been creepin' while I'm sleepin' at night
And you've been chasin' every girl in sight
You've been messin' 'round and lyin' down
It's over now
You've been cheatin' and tellin' me lies
You've been creepin' while I'm sleepin' at night
And you've been chasin' every girl in sight
You've been messin' 'round and lyin' down
Congratulations baby, it's been a while
I heard through the grapevine that you're seeing a friend of mine
I hate to say this baby but I think you should know
I hear 'bout how she treats you everywhere I go
I hear you're runnin', hidin', tryin' to be discreet
But let me to tell you, there's no need for you to hide from me
I've found someone who takes my lovin' seriously
You've gambled and lost baby pay the cost for walking out on me
It coulda been you loving me
It woulda been everything you wanted a love to be
It coulda been you, seven days a week
And baby if you wanted a real love you shoulda stayed with me
So here you come talkin' baby, with the same ol' lines
You're tryin' to break down my defense so you can tell me one more lie
But I ain't hearin' you baby, you caused me pain
This time you've gone too far and now you lost it all in vain
You say you love me but I find it hard to believe
It didn't take that long for you to get over me
Now after all this time, you're trying to get back with me
But now the tables have turned and you're on the outside looking in
It coulda been you loving me
It woulda been everything you wanted a love to be
It coulda been you, seven days a week
And baby if you wanted a real love you shoulda stayed with me
It coulda been you loving me
It woulda been everything you wanted a love to be
It coulda been you, seven days a week
And baby if you wanted a real love you shoulda stayed with me
I hear she's got you all stressed out
t cost you a fortune just to take her out
You say that she's takin' you for a ride
I coulda told you so
If I had my choice, I would be with you
But you could've done much better too
And that's what you get for thinking
That you could find a better love
It coulda been you loving me
It woulda been everything you wanted a love to be
It coulda been you, seven days a week
And baby if you wanted a real love you shoulda stayed with me
It coulda been you loving me
It woulda been everything you wanted a love to be
It coulda been you, seven days a week
And baby if you wanted a real love you shoulda stayed with me
It coulda been you loving me, baby, oh
Everything goes my way
Seven days a week
Loving me, oh babe
No, no, no, no
Nothing is easy
All I have to do is forget how much I love him
All I have to do is put my longing to one side
Tell myself that love?s an ever changing situation
Passion would have cooled and all the magic would have died
It?s easy as life
I try to forget how much I want him here
Let my tears slowly disappear
I cannot forget that my emotions die
Oh, I don?t even want to try
Nothing in life is ever easy
Nothing in love will ever run true
My heart will never stop believing
I still believe in what love can do
All I have to do
Is pretend I never knew you
On those very rare occasions
When you steal into my heart
Better to have lost you
When the ties were barely binding
Better the contempt
Of the familiar cannot stop
It?s easy as life
I try to forget how much I want him here
Then my dreams slowly disappear
I cannot forget that my emotions die
Oh, I don?t even want to try
Nothing in life is ever easy
Nothing in love will ever run true
My heart will never stop believing
I still believe in what love can do
It hurts to think about you
When I want to touch you
And how we would have been
If you were here with me today
Those very rare occasions
They keep on coming
All I ever wanted
I?m throwing it away
Nothing in life is ever easy
Nothing in love will ever run true
My heart will never stop believing
I still believe in what love can do
Nothing in life is ever easy
Nothing in love will ever run true
My heart will never stop believing
Someone who loves you
Wants to give you all you've been searching for
I've been here waiting
You don't have to look around anymore
Don't you know
To you I give my all
I'll dry those tears when they fall
If you just ask me to
My best I'll do
Chorus:
Won't you call me, boy, whenever you need me
Don't be afraid to say what's on your mind
When you need those loving arms to hold you
Won't you call me, I'll be there
Just to show you that I care
I know, I know it's not easy, baby
When you gotta carry the hurt inside
But you can depend on me
'Cause I'll always be right there right by your side
You should know
That when it comes to my love
I gladly give, give it all to you
Just ask me to
I'm here for you
Chorus x2
Don't you know
If you show me your emotions
I'll do the best I can
To try to understand
So let go
You'll be safe with me
Don't be afraid now, baby
'Cause I'll be right here for you
'Cause you know that you can trust me with your heart
Always waitin' for someone
To make me happy, pick me up
I realize that someone is me
What you call life, that ain't livin'
Bless the child that's got his own
It's my season, now I stand alone
Just thought that I would let you know
Some things you just can't control
Should I wear my hair in a ponytail?
Should I dress myself up in Chanel?
Do I measure me by what you think?
Absolutely not, absolutely not
If I go to work in a mini-skirt
Am I givin' you the right to flirt?
I won't compromise my point of view
Absolutely not, absolutely not
Told myself I won't complain
But some things have got to change
Not gon' be a victim of
All your social push and shove
Right or wrong, you judge the same
My picture never fit your frame
What you thought, you'll never know
You can't see me with your mind closed
Should I wear my hair in a ponytail?
Should I dress myself up in Chanel?
Do I measure me by what you think?
Absolutely not, absolutely not
If I go to work in a mini-skirt
Am I givin' you the right to flirt?
I won't compromise my point of view
Absolutely not
Now I see, that life means more to me
More than fancy clothes, more than you'll ever know
All the ugly words that I heard you say
Made me stronger everyday
Now I live my life for me
Go to work in a mini-skirt
Am I givin' you the right to flirt?
I won't compromise my point of view
Absolutely, absolutely not
Should I wear my hair in a ponytail?
Should I dress myself up in Chanel?
Do I measure me by what you think?
Absolutely not, absolutely not
If I go to work in a mini-skirt
Am I givin' you the right to flirt?
I won't compromise my point of view
Absolutely not, absolutely not
Should I wear my hair in a ponytail?
Should I dress myself up in Chanel?
Do I measure me by what you think?
Absolutely not
All my ladies say
Oh, ooh
Woah, oh, ooh
All my people say
Oh, ooh
Woah, oh, ooh
All my ladies say
Oh, ooh
Woah, oh, ooh
Everybody says
Oh, ooh
Woah, oh, ooh
