Stir It Up
Patti LaBelle
Stir it up
Stir it up
Stir it up
Stir it up
I can't sit here while I go nowhere
Chase my dreams through the polluted air
Walking on a wire, running out of time
There's no room in this ol' heart of mine
Bill collectors waiting down the hall
Neighbors scream and crack the bedroom wall
Nerves jump off the pavement, passion hits the street
Angels cookin' in the city heat
World's too crazy, I can't take no more
I won't stay here locked behind the door
Baby, stir it up, got to break it up now
When I think about tomorrow, ooh, I can't wait to
Stir it, got to shake it up now
If I have to beg or borrow, I'm not gonna take it anymore, mmm, mmm
Hungry minds do stare you in the eyes
Spread it thick and lay the biggest lies
Don't say what you feel, must play hard to get
All those time bombs tickin' in your head
So much pressure to keep holdin' on
Pack my clothes up, baby, I'll be gone
I've got to stir it up, got to break it up now
When I think about tomorrow, ooh, I can't wait to
Stir it, got to shake it up now
If I have to beg or borrow, I'm not gonna take it anymore, mmm, mmm
Can't find love because it's trapped inside
Can't find freedom flirting with line
Make some room in this ol' heart of mine
So much pressure to keep holdin' on
Pack my clothes up, baby, I'll be gone
Stir it up, I've got to break it up now
When I think about tomorrow, I can't wait to
Stir it, got to shake it up now
If I have to beg or borrow, I don't wanna take it anymore
Stir it up, got to break it up now
When I think about tomorrow, I can't wait to
Stir it, got to shake it up now
If I have to beg or borrow, I don't wanna take it anymore
Stir it up
Stir it up
Stir it up
Stir it up
Stir it up
Baby, there is so much pressure to keep me holdin' on
Got to pack up my clothes and, baby, I'll be gone
Stir it up, got to break it up now
When I think about tomorrow, I can't wait to
Stir it, got to shake it up now
If I have to beg or borrow, I don't wanna take it no more
Stir it up, got to break it up now
I'm gonna stir it up, gonna stir it up
I'm not gonna take it no more, no more, no more, no more, no more, no more
Mmm Stir it up, got to break it up now
Stir it up, got to break it up now
(Mmm...got to stir it up)
Stir it up, got to break it up now
(Stir it up, baby, I...I'm gettin' out of here)
Stir it up, got to shake it up now
(Stir it up, baby, I...I'm gettin' out of here)
Stir it up, got to break
it up now Stir it, got to shake it up now
If I have to beg or borrow, I don't wanna take it no more
Stir it up, got to break it up now
When I think about tomorrow, I can't wait to
Stir it, got to shake it up now
I'm gonna stir it up, gonna stir it up
I'm not gonna take it no more, no more, no more, no more, no more, no more, no more
Mmm Stir it up, got to break it up now
Stir it up, got to break it up now
(Ooh...got to sir it up)
Stir it up, got to break it up now
(Stir it up, baby, I...I'm gettin' out of here)
Stir it up, got to shake it up now
(Stir it up, baby, I...I'm gettin' out of here)
Stir it up, got to break it up now

I like that way it feels, feels, feels because you keep it real, so
real,
I like the way it feels, feels, feels, because you keep it real, so
real,
You rarely stay out late and if you do you call me up (oh baby),
I never worry about you in someone else's arms making love (oh no),
There ain't no pressure when you know that I'm not in the mood cause
365...
Boy I'll give my everything to you,
I like that way it feels, feels, feels because you keep it real, so
real,
Women do complain they can't find a man to satisfy heir needs (oh no)
Someone sensitive, willingness to give and able to please and...
I like the way it feels, feels, feels because you keep it real, so
real,
I like the way it feels, feels ,feels because you keep it real, so
real.
I've known about you for a while now,
Then he leaves me he wears a smile no,
As soon as he's away from me,
In his arms is where you want to be,
But I'm the one he rushes home to,
I'm the one he have his name to,
You never see his face in the early morning light,
I have his morning his babies,
And I'm the only one who has his nights,
Oh he doesn't love you like he loves me,
Though he might think of you when he's holding me,
You're just a part of his fantasies,
He'll never love you like he's been loving me,
And when he's with you he knows he needs me,
And that he wants me and he believes in me,
And when I'm in his arms oh he swears there's no one else,
If you think he'll ever leave me you're just deceiving yourself,
Oh he doesn't love you like he loves me,
Though he might think of you when he's holding me,
You're just a part of his fantasies,
He'll never love you like he's been loving me,
Should I loose my temper,
Shouldn't you be ashamed,
Cause I have nothing to lose,
And you have nothing to gain,
Oh he doesn't love you like he loves me,
Though he might think of you when he's holding me,
You're just a part of his fantasies,
Used to be that I believed in something,
Used to be that I believed in love,
It's been a long time since I've had that feelin',
I could love someone,
I could trust someone.
I said I'd never let nobody near my heart again, darlin',
I said I'd never let nobody in,
But, If you asked me to I just might change my mind,
And let you in my life forever,
If you asked me to I just might give my heart,
And stay here in your arms forever.
If you asked me to,
If you asked me to,
Somehow ever since I've been around you,
Can't go back to being on my own Can't help feelin',
darlin', since I've found you,
That I've found my home,
That I've found my home.
I said I'd never let nobody get to close to me, darlin',
I said I needed, needed to be free,
But, If you asked me to I just might change my mind,
And let you in my life forever,
If you asked me to I just might give my heart,
And stay here in your arms forever.
If you asked me to
If you asked me to
Ask me to I will give my world to you baby
I need you now (I need you now)
Ask me to and I'll do anything for you, baby,
For you, baby.
If you asked me to,
I'll let you in my life forever,
If you asked me to,
All you gotta do is ask me to,
All you gotta do, All you gotta do
All you gotta do is ask me to
If you ask me to (I'll give you my word, I'll give you my heart)
Everything, Everything Baby
If you ask me to, just ask me to
There was a time,
I said I didn't need you in my life,
I'll be alright,
I always had excuses to disguise,
How I felt inside,
So much loneliness is hard to hide,
So I'll testify,
I know in your arms,
True love I can find,
I don't want to bore you baby,
Don't wanna waste your time,
I just want to be your lady,
I'll keep you satisfied,
It's hard to find,
But your love's given me a peace of mind,
So I fantasize,
I think of loving you everyday and night,
'Cause you take control,
And relax me 'cause you know where to go,
You're so wonderful,
Wanna tell the world,
I want them to know,
Just how good it feels,
I don't want bore you baby,
Don't wanna waste your time,
I just want to be your lady,
I'll keep you satisfied,
I don't want to bore you baby,
Don't wanna waste your time,
I just want to be your lady,
I'll keep you satisified,
I don't want to bore you baby,
Don't wanna waste your time,
Just want to be your lady,
I'll keep you satisfied.
If by chance,
We meet again,
I'll be sure to say I love you,
If by chance,
I see your face,
I'll be dazzled by the magic in your eyes,
They look so sweet,
If by cjhance we should happen to meet,
I'll run into your arms so safe and warm,
By your side I'll stand,
If by chance we meet again (3X),
I talk to you,
I wonder if the words would come out right,
If by chance,
I held you close,
I could drift away with the warmth of your embrace,
You were so sweet,
If By chance we should happen to meet,
We'll start all over again,
Me and my best friend,
A whole new life we'll plan,
If by chance we meet again,
If by chance we meet again.
Ooh, find me
You can always find me
Loving you so kindly
Your life is like candlelight
And darlin' no one told us
No one ever told us
What this love could hold for us?
Maybe we were meant to find it faithfully
There is always a sun that's rising
When I know in your heart you're there for me
And from now on your flame just keeps me
Burnin' on
Know you no one knows like I do
There's one thing I'm sure is true
That we were meant to
Share our whole lives through
There is always a sun that's rising
When I know in your heart you're there for me
And from now on your flame just keeps me
Burnin' on
There is always a star that's shining
Whether you're far away or near to me
And from now on your flame just keeps me
Burnin' on
There is always a sun that's rising
When I know in your heart you're there for me
And from now on your flame just keeps me
Burnin' on, burnin' on
There is always a star that's shining
Whether you're far away or near to me
And from now on your flame just keeps me
Oh, it's gonna keep burnin' on
And from now on your flame just keeps me
Burnin' on
In spite of myself,
Can't nobody else,
Move me like you do,
I'm addicted to yo,
I try to let go,
But I can't say no,
It's sad but it's true,
I'm addicted to you,
What am I doin' I wish I knew,
This hold you got on me,
Won't let my heart be free,
From this confusion,
When will it all end,
In spite of myself,
Can't nobody else,
Move me like you do,
I'm addicted to you,
I was detemined,
I made up my mind,
Once I walked out that door,
I couldn't take no more,
Of sad delusions,
Here I go again,
In spite of myself,
Can't nobody else,
Move me like you do,
I'm addicted to you,
I try to let go,
But I can't say no,
It's sad but true,
I'm addicted to you,
I wanna be strong,
I know although it's wrong,
I keep holdin' on,
But my will is gone,
I look in your eyes,
I see past the lies,
There's nobody else,
In spite of myself.
[Originally by Elton John]
It's a little bit funny this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live
If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you
And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on
So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen
In my life I never
Dreamed I'd ever
Feel the way I do
When we're together
Loving you I'm brand new
Nothing could be better
Every moment spent with you
Is so incredible
You're the king of my heart
Your kiss is on my soul
[Chorus:]
Finally I've found
What I've been looking for
You are everything to me
And even more
I can see the heart of you
I so adore in your eyes
When you smile
All my hopes and dreams are
Really coming true
Only happens anytime
That I'm with you
Being here right now
Is all I want to do
In my life
When you smile
All it took was just a glance
And I was captivated
I'm so glad that we've had
This time beneath the sun
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
I don't crave gold
To make me whole
I just need you
To soothe my soul
And be for me
My shining star
I love you just
The way you are
[Chorus]
Walking underneath the moonlit sky
I'm alone tonight
Every stranger that I pass
is stranger than the last
I leave them all behind
Nothing they say can turn me away
I keep going, Cause I know
You are the Voice inside my heart
I always hear, reminding me
What matters in this life
Like an Angel, I can see your face
Right before my eyes
Yes, I can almost read your thoughts
And that's what keeps me breathing
and believing we are alright
I don't know when I will see you again
But your with me, your forever be
The voice inside my heart
I always knew reminding me
What matters in this life
Whenever we're apart
I think of you and listen to
The voice inside my heart
Stay with me, whisper in my ear
You and I will always be together
Forever, your the voice inside my heart
My guiding light, what matters in this life
Whenever we're apart, I think of you
and listen to the voice inside my heart
No matter where you are
I am with you, your always here
The voice inside my heart
Whisper in my ear
The voice Inside My Heart
I can't believe we have to deal with so much misery
We tear each other down, it's such a shame to see
All the love we could share, we take for granted
You never miss what you had until its gone
Life is unpredictable
You could be here today, and gone tomorrow
Why waste precious time
When all we need to find is the love inside
It's up to us to make a better way
We have to change our hearts to heal the world today
Don't cost you nothing but a smile
To make somebody's life feel worthwhile
Life is unpredictable
You could be here today, and gone tomorrow
Why waste precious time
When all we need to find is the love inside
You can take it to a place
Beautiful, wonderful, unpredictable
Life is unpredictable
You could be here today, and gone tomorrow
Why waste precious time
It's hard to see the fear inside. As I walk away from you. And distance overcomes the miles. As slowly I pull through. And I can not reach the world today. Cause i'm suffering from you. And the more i think, the more I cry, As I walk away from you. I'm two steps away, from lonliness, I'm awake from the mess we made. I'm alive, and i'm feeling in complete yes. Said I don't understand my life. Ohhh Or the version that choose you. And the waring hearts and winter came. Now there's nothing left to do. But i know i can not reach the world today. Cause i'm suffering from two. And the more i think, the more we die. As I walk away from you, i'm two steps away. From lonliness. I'm awake from the mess we made, I'm alive and I'm feeling incomplete. Yes I'm two steps away I am. Two steps away. Yes, yes, I'm two steps away. I am yes I am two steps away. From lonilness said I'm live and i'm feeling incomplete. Yes i'm two steps away
It’s only me
I've come to see you
And I know
What you have been through
I will be your friend
Lean on me for now
But to pull you back up
Somehow
I’ll have no more of this moping around
I’m tired of you putting yourself down
But in spite of all you've been through
I still believe
There's a winner in you
Sometimes you can see it
From the tip of your mind
And can't focus at all times
If the wind touch you to another
Before you discover
There's a winner
There's a hero
There's a lover too
Somewhere
There's a winner in you
I'll have no more of this moping around
I'm tired of you putting yourself down
But in spite of all you've been through
I still believe
There's a winner in you
There's a winner
There's a hero
There's a lover too
Somewhere
There's a winner in you
There's a winner
There's a hero
There's a lover too
Somewhere
There's a winner in you
I can't sit here while I go nowhere
Chase my dreams through the polluted air
Walking on a wire
Running out of time
There's some room in this ol' heart of mine
Bill collectors waiting down the hall
Papers screaming past the bedroom wall
Birds jump off the pavement
Passion hits the streets
Anger's cooking in the city heat
The world's too crazy, I can't help no more
I won't stay here locked behind the door
Baby, Stir It Up, oh
Got to break it up now
When I think about tomorrow
Oooooo I can't wait to
Stir It Up
Got to shake it up now
With my hardtail rake on borrow
I'm not gonna take it anymore
Hungry minds who stare you in the eye
Spread it thick and make the biggest lights
Don't say what you're feelin
Must be hard to get
All those pinemops stickin in your head
So much pressure to keep holdin on
Pack my clothes up baby I'll be gone
Stir It Up
Got to break it up now
When I think about tomorrow
Oooooooo I can't wait to
Stir It Up
Got to shake it up now
With my hardtail rake on borrow
I'm not gonna take it anymore
Save my love because it's trapped inside
Can't find freedom lurking with the light
Make some move in this ol' heart of mine
So much pressure to keep holdin on
Pack my clothes up baby, Ill be gone
Stir It Up
Got to break it up now
When I think about tomorrow
I can't wait to
Stir It Up
Got to shake it up now
With my hardtail rake on borrow
I don't wanna take it anymore
Got to break it up now
When I think about tomorrow
Oooooo I can't wait to
Stir It Up
Got to shake it up now
With my hardtail rake on borrow
I'm not gonna take it anymore
When you love someone like you do
There's no in between, not for you
You give him everything that you got
You love him all the way or not
When you love someone it just hurts
When you've done everything to make it work
So when everything's not enough
Maybe he's just not the one
[Chorus:]
Sometimes love walks away
Sometimes love has to change
Sometimes the heart has to break
But you're not the only one
That's been hurt by love
Sometimes love's not the way
That you thout it would be
Sometimes you just got to leave
But you're not the only one
That's been hurt by love
When you love someone it's natural
To have second thoughts, should you go
It's not easy girl, being strong
You keep wondering if you were wrong
But don't you fall for that it's a game
The trying to make you feel you're to blame
To protect your heart there's no shame
You know better girl walk away
[Chorus]
We talk, it's always good
So much is already understood
We spend time, I like being with you
You're mine I wouldn't deny it's true
Even though I think you, dream about you
Want you so much
There's something you gotta know
[Chorus:]
I want something more
More than a dream
More than a wish
More than a vision
I'm lookin' for more
More than just words
More than a promise
More than a feeling
I want something more
It's got to be more
You said that you're taking your time
But I wonder
In the end will you be mine
You're sweet, I crave your touch
We make good love
But sometimes that's not enough
Even though you're good to me
And another woman would settle for less
There's something I must confess
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
More than just a feel so good emotion
Something I can count on in the midst of a storm
To bring back the sunshine again
[Chorus 2x]
[Originally by Deniece Williams]
Silly of me to think that I
Could ever have you for my guy
How I love you
How I want you
Silly of me to think that you
Could ever really want me too
How I love you
You're just a lover out to score
I know that I should be looking for more
What could it be in you I see
What could it be
Oh...oh...oh...love, oh, love
Stop making a fool of me
Oh...oh...oh...love, oh, love
Stop making a fool of me
Silly of me to think that you
Could ever know the things I do
Are all done for you
Only for you
Silly of me to take the time
To comb my hair and pour the wine
And know you're not there
You're just a lover out to score
And I know that I should be looking for more
What could it be in you I see
What could it be
Oh...oh...oh...love, oh, love
Stop making a fool of me
Oh...oh...oh...love, oh, love
Stop making a fool of me
Ooh...hoo...hoo...hoo...
Silly of me to go around
And brag about the love I've found
I say you're the best
Well, I can't tell the rest
And foolish of me to tell them all
That every night and day you call
When you could care less
You're just a lover out to score
And I know that I should be looking for more
What could it be in you I see
What could it be
Oh...oh...oh...love, oh, love
Stop making a fool of me
Oh...oh...oh...love, oh, love
Stop making a fool of me, uh-huh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh...ooh...ooh...silly

From: "Jorge Luis Contreras"
I used to think that we were
Always gonna be in love
But I was so naive back then
I wasn't wise enough
To know there ain't nothing
In this life that's guaranteed
You take your chances
When you let your heart lead
And heaven knows how much
I wanted to keep loving you
You let me down
When you said some things
That were untrue
So I'm giving you up
Cause there ain't enough
Love in this world
To change my mind
We're out of time
The dream is over
[Chorus:]
I've got my reasons
For the way that I feel
Suffered in silence
When I had to conceal
My honest emotions
Truth must be revealed
Might not be right but I've just
Got to be real
We could go on forever
Never really letting go
What's the sense in that
When in our hearts we knew
This isn't working
We're on a dead end road
Don't think my back can stand
The weight of the load
And while it's hard for me
To admit we made a mistake
I can't pretend no more
It's too much to take
Time for moving on
Said all I have to say
Won't live a lie
This is goodbye
The dream is over now
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
And as I walk away
Though I'm leaving
With tears and regrets
There are memories
Of you I will never forget
Shared I will never
Forget
But it's time for me to
Do what my heart
Tells me to
I have to be strong
But right or wrong
I'll always love you
[Chorus]
Seems my life
Is finally coming together
Feels so good
Don't think I've ever been better
It's clear to me
My future will bring
The peace I've been living for will be mine
Forever more
[Chorus:]
It's a new day
Open my eyes and the path is clearer
It's a new day
Pushin' ahead til my goal is nearer
It's a new day
Spread my wings
I'm doin' things my way
It's a new day
Made the same mistakes
Over and again
Now it's time
For the illusion to end
For every door that shuts
Another opens
Takin' a chance I'm gonna win
Can't go back where I've been
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
I'm excited for the things ahead of me
I decided I can make it on my own
Embrace the good and bad
And let go of the past
I'm loving what's inside of me
[Chorus]
My love, sweet love
With you nothing else matters
You're my heart, and my heart is yours
My love, sweet love
For me there's no one better
Cross my heart, I could not love you more
And I swear to you, there's no one more important
And I trust you with my life
So I pledge my heart to you
Chorus
My love, sweet love
With you nothing else matters
You're my heart, and my heart is yours
My love, sweet love
For me there's no one better
Cross my heart, I could not love you more
Cause with you my world is filled with so much
pleasure
When I'm blind, you are my eyes
So I pledge my trust to you
Chorus
My love, sweet love
With you nothing else matters
You're my heart, and my heart is yours
My love, sweet love
For me there's no one better
Cross my heart, I could not love you more
And I swear to you, that I will always love you
And I trust you with my heart
So I pledge my world, I pledge my world, I pledge my
world to you
Chorus
My love, sweet love
With you nothing else matters
You're my heart, and my heart is yours
My love, sweet love
For me there's no one better
Cross my heart, I could not love you more
Don't get mad if I treat me
To a day I only shop for me
Don't get mad if I buy the clothes
That you think are not the style for me
Who I am is not what I wear
And what I think has nothing to do with hair
Love me by what my heart shows
But it seems like you just can't let it go
[Chorus:]
You keep talking bout my clothes
But the clothes don't make the woman
You keep talking bout my hair
But this hair can't give you lovin'
(Only me)
You keep talkin bout my shoes
But my shoes don't make me money
Now why you actin so hysterical
I'm so much more than material
Don't get mad if I treat me
To a day of cosmotology
Don't get mad if you see me
Exploring different sides of me
Deep inside of my outer shell
There's only so much I'd show and tell
Love me like the real girl you know
But it seems that you just can't let it go
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
More than material
More than the typical
More than just a video
A respectable
And effectual, girl
[Repeat]
[Chorus]
I don't why, but i'm feelin so sad. I long to try, something I've never had. Never had no kissin. Ohh what I've been missin. Lover man oh where can you be. The night is cold, and I'm so all lone. I'd give my soul, just to call you my own, got a moon above me. But no one to love me. Lover man oh where can you be. I've heard it said, that the trill of romance can feel like, a heavenly dream. I go tobed, with a prayer that you'll make frantic love to me. Aww strange as it seems. Some day we'll meet. And you'll dry all my tears, and whisper sweet little things in my ears. A hugging abd a kissin, ohh what i've been missin. Lover man ohh where can you be. I've heard it said that the trill of romance can feel like, a heavenly, heavenly dream. I go to bed, with a prayer that you'll make frantic love to me. Strange as it seems. Someday we'll meet, and you'll dry all my tears. And whisper sweet little things in my ears. A huggin and a kissin. Ohh what i've been missin, lover man oh where can you be. Lover man oh where, can you be!

You abandoned me
Love don't live here anymore
Just a vacancy
Love don't live here anymore
When you lived inside of me
There was nothing I could conceive
That you wouldn't do for me
Trouble seemed so far away
You changed that right away, baby
You abandoned me
Love don't live here anymore
Just a vacancy
Love don't live here anymore
Love don't live here anymore
Just emptiness and memories
Of what we had before
You went away
Found another place to stay, another home
You abandoned me
Love don't live here anymore
Just a vacancy
Love don't live here anymore
In the windmills of my eyes
Everyone can see the loneliness inside me
Why'd ya have to go away
Don't you know I miss you so and need your love
You abandoned me
Love don't live here anymore
Just a vacancy
Love don't live here anymore
You abandoned me
Love don't live here anymore
Just a vacancy
Love don't live here anymore
Love don't live here anymore
Love don't live here anymore
You abandoned me
Love don't live here anymore
Love don't live here anymore
Love don't live here anymore

Have never been so much
In love
Before
What a difference
A true love made in my life
So nice
So right
Loving you gave me something new
That I've never felt
Never dreamed of
Something's changed
No it's not the feeling I had before
Oh it's much much more
Love
I never knew that a touch
Could mean
So much
What a difference
And when we walk hand in hand
I feel
So real
Lovers come
And then lovers go
That's what folks say
Don't they know
They're not there when you love me, hold me and take care
And what we have is much more than they can see
What we have is much more than they can see
[Repeat until end]
Our Father who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Thy kingdom come thy will be done
On earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those who trespass
against us
And lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, the power
and the glory.
For ever and ever
Amen.

I got a mirror, a bottle and a pen
The mirror is cracked
The bottle is empty
And my pen don't know where to begin
I've got a picture, a letter and a song
The picture is torn
The letter is worn
And my tune has been sung before
Another show is over
And the lights have gone down
There's no flowers at my door
No, no callers come around, baby
But I'm glad to be alive and in the land of the living
Oh I can't believe that I survived
And I'm in the land of the living
Can't believe that I survived
I saw the city, the lights and the music
The city is hard
The lights they have lied
The music just seems to have died
And I had my hope
I had my faith
Oh my pride, yeah
And to hope I cling
To faith I am blind
And my pride I have left far behind
Another show is over
And the lights have gone down
There's no flowers at my door
Ain't no callers come around babe
But I'm glad to be alive and in the land of the living, babe
I can't believe that I survived
Still in the land of the living, baby
Can't believe that I'm alive
Still in the land of the living, baby
Can't believe that I survived
Oh no, I'm still in the land of the living
Yea Yea Yea
You see another night is over
And the curtain's come down
I see no flowers at my door
Oh no one's comin' 'round, yeah
But I'm glad to be alive
Still in the land of the living
Bet you can't believe I survived
Still alive in the land of the living
Oh babe, I'm still alive
In the land of the living
I bet you, bet you can't believe I survived
Oh, I'm still in the land of the living
Another night is over
I'm still in the land of the living
I see the curtains coming down
But babe, I'm still in the land of the living
I bet you can't believe me, I bet you can't believe
Yes, Here I am, I see that I'm still in the land of the living
Yea, I'm going to take my curtain call
Because I'm in the land of the living
I use to sing to an empty room. I was so lonley and so out of toon. Then you came around and made my life a happy song. It's a joy to have your love. Such a joy to feel your love. Never set me free, cause darline i can't be without you without you baby. I use to go to a show all alone. I'd sit through it twice I just couldn't go home. Then you came alone and gave my life a happy song. It's a joy to have your love, such a joy to feel your love. Never set me free, cause darline I can't be without you, without you baby. Have you baby, have you baby. ohh. I feel so good havin you around.

Never set me free cause baby I don't wanna be can't be without you.

I thirst but never quench
I know the consequence, feeling as I do
We're in a spinning top
Where, tell me, will it stop
And what am I to say
Open our music book, that only few can look
And I'll write a song for you
Love is a symphony, hearts in one melody
'Cause I write a song for you
Sounds never dissipate, they only recreate
In another place
There in your silent night
Joy of a song's delight
I write a song for you
You write a song for me
We write a song for love
My magical mystique, finding it all complete
In a lovely face, feeling we try to chase
Memories that won't erase, stay forever new
We have a magic box in which is never locked
[Chorus:]
It's time to tell him how you feel
Baby stop playin around, gonna miss out on what's real
It's time to show him you're for real
If you won't someone else will yeah
You're a woman now, and it's time for you
Time you grow up and learn your way
Make this house a home, and make sure he knows
You're the one he can count on
[Chorus]
Now that you've settle down, how could you wear a frown
Knowing that he is the one
His love has been so good, it's time you understood
That he'll never let you down
[Chorus]
[Repeat]
[Bridge:]
Has there ever been a time, you let him slip away
You didn't know what you had, now you wish he would have stayed
Girlfriend it's time to grow and learn what it takes
To hold on to the real thing
[Chorus]
[Repeat]
I'm in love again, this time I mean it, in love again, so in love again, what lies between us is dicovering. This time it's forreal. I know I have said these words before. And if you're keeping score, that makes four, and the count down goes on. But this time, I sware the night is cast, I make it last for ever more, Of that I'm sure. I'm in love again, this time I mean it in love again. So in love again, what lies between us is discovering. This time it's forreal. I refuse to dwell upon the past, cause time was much to fast, take the chance. What if you run away. But I was sure. This love was meant to be. For you and me eternally, so heavenly. I'm in love again, this time I mean it, in love again, so in love again, what lies between us is discovring. This time it's forreal. It was love. I need you without a chance. Should I speak of romance, take a chance. In a twinkling it's gone. When it's come, I want it said of me, I tried to be, the best i could, I always should. I'm in love again yeah this time I mean it in love again. So in love, love again. What lies between us is discovering. I, I'm , I'm, I'm, in love I am. So, so, so, so, in love with you I am. Mmmmmm.

Oh, why you look so sad?
Tears are in your eyes
Come on and come to me now
Don't be ashamed to cry
Let me see you through
'cause I've seen the dark side too
When the night falls on you
You don't know what to do
Nothing you confess
Could make me love you less
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
So if you're mad, get mad
Don't hold it all inside
Come on and talk to me now
Hey, what you got to hide?
I get angry too
Well I'm a lot like you
When you're standing at the crossroads
And don't know which path to choose
Let me come along
'cause even if you're wrong
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Take me in, into your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you
And when...
When the night falls on you, baby
You're feeling all alone

And I'll never desert you

I SOLD MY HEART TO THE JUNKMAN
Patty Labelle and The Bluebells
"...song, this is a very sad song, this next
song we're gonna do.
The song is so sad that sometimes I have to
leave the stage and cry in the backstage a
little bit while I'm singing this song.
The reason this song is so sad because this
story happened to me just a little while ago
(not true, but true) (audience laughs)
And it was, it was a thing where I met this
this beautiful girl, right? was she a
beautiful girl as she was, she was nice and ...
and I gave her my whole heart, every every bit,
and she gave it back to me a month later all
beat up, so bad and
so terrible looking that
I Sold My Heart To The Junkman !
Now I can never fall in love again...."
Well I gave my heart to you, open, so open and trusting
And you gave it back to me, it was broken up and busting
(sold my heart) I sold my heart to the junkman
(sold my heart) I sold my heart to the junkman
I can never fall in love again
Oh and I know you took my heart, you thought that you
could use it
When you gave it back like a toy
you broken and bruised
(sold my heart) I sold my heart to the junkman
(I sold my heart) I sold my heart to the junkman
I can never fall in love again
Now, it was a movie sad scene, I played my part
Ooh I wanted the happy ending, but all I got was
a broken heart
(all he got was a broken heart)
(I sold my heart) I sold my heart to the junkman(I sold my heart) I sold my
heart to the junkman
I can never fall in love again
Now I swear it was a movie setting, baby I played my part
And all I wanted was a happy ending,
but now I'm left with a broken heart
(now he's left with a broken heart)
(I sold my heart) I sold my heart to the junkman
(I sold my heart) I sold my heart to the junkman
I can never fall in love again
I gave my heart to you, so open and trusting
And you gave it back to me, it was broken up and busting
(so I sold) I sold my heart to the junkman
(yes I sold) I sold my heart to the junkman
I can never fall in love again
Yes I did sold my heart to the junkman
Yes I did, yes I did
Sold my heart to the junkman
Now I can never fall in love again
Since I sold my heart to the junkman

[Chorus:]
I keep forgettin' we're not in love anymore
I keep forgettin' things will never be the same again
I keep forgettin' how you made that so clear
I keep forgettin'
Everytime you're near
Everytime I see you smile
Hear your 'hello'
Saying you can only stay a while
Hey, I know that it's hard for you
To say the things that we both know are true
But tell me how come (I)
[Chorus]
Everytime I hear
How you never want to live a lie
How it's gone to far
And you don't have to tell me why
Why you're gone and the game is through
If this is what's real, if this is what's true
Tell me how come (I)
[Chorus]
Don't say that, don't say that, don't say that
I know you're not mine anymore-anyway-anytime
But tell me how come (I)
[Chorus]
(Prince)
Out of the lonely blue
(Patti)
I… I hear your voice
I… I hear your voice
I… I hear your voice calling in the night (can’t take it baby)
I remember just like it was yesterday
I woke up baby, you were gone
I didn’t even wanna tear myself up out of bed
Let alone, I didn’t wanna carry on
(chorus)
‘Cause I could hear your voice (I hear your voice calling in the night)
I can’t stop it (stop it) no matter how hard I try
I can hear your sound, your sound (I hear your sound calling in the night)
In a word, I feel like I wanna die
I started looking, lookin’ from dusk ‘til dawn
For ways that I wouldn’t miss you so much
I even bought a new dress (new dress)
But when I put it on
I could still (still) still (still) feel your touch (feel your touch)
And I could hear your voice (I hear your voice calling in the night)
I can’t stop it (stop it) no matter how hard I try
I can hear your sound, your sound, your sound(I hear your sound calling in the night)
In a word, I feel like I wanna die (feel like I wanna die)
My friends tell me… They say Patti find a new love
A bird in hand beats two in the bush
What my friends don’t know, and I ain’t about to tell them
Is that you’re the only one, you’re the only one that knows what buttons to push
Oh oh it don’t take no scientist to tell you what’s wrong with me
No no no it don’t take good vision to see what any fool could see
That I just need your body, I just need your fa fa fa fa face
Right where it counts, no not in another place
I’m talkin’ about all up hey, & all down
Your every inch, you see I don’t need ya cross town
You better read my lips, I need you here with me
I can’t stop it, no matter how I try
In a word, I feel like I wanna die….
( I hear your voice)
I… I hear your voice
I… I hear your voice
I… I hear your voice calling in the night
I hear your voice (fades out)

Turn down the lights, turn down the bed
Turn down these voices inside my head
Lay down with me, tell me no lies
Just hold me close, don't patronize - don't patronize me
[Chorus:]
Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these lonely hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't
I'll close my eyes, then I won't see
The love you don't feel when you're holding me
Morning will come and I'll do what's right
Just give me till then to give up this fight
And I will give up this fight
[Chorus]
I believe for every drop
Of rain that fa-alls
A flower grow-ows
Woh, I believe that somewhere
In the darkest ni-ight
A candle glow-ows
I believe for everyone
Who goes astray-ay
Someone will come
Who shows the way
I believe, I belie-ieve
I believe above the storm
The smallest prayer
Will still be hear-eard
Woh, I believe that someone
In the great somewhere-ere
Hears e-every wor-ord
Every time I hear
A newborn baby cry-y
Or touch a leaf
Or see the sky-y
Then I know why...
I belie-ieve
Mm-hmm-hmm-hmm
I-I belie-ieve
I, I-I belie-ieve [fade]
[Original version 'She's Out Of My Life' by Michael Jackson]
He's out of my life
He's out of my life
And I don't know whether to laugh or cry
I don't know whether to live or die
And it cuts like a knife
He's out of my life
It's out of my hands
It's out of my hands
To think the two years he was here
And I took him for granted I was so cavalier
Now the way that it stands
He's out of my hands
So I've learned that loves not possession
And I've learned that love won't wait
Now I've learned that love needs expression
But I learned too late
And he's out of my life
He's out of my life
Damned in decision and cursed pride
I kept my love for him locked deep inside
And it cuts like a knife
He's out of my life
Does my discomfort
Comfort you
Do you believe that joy
Is too much to hope for
Can you see?
Our existence could be so much more
Create yours
And allI ask is
Just a little respect from you
Do you even know who I am
[Chorus:]
Do you hear my cry
Do you believe in me
Cuz I believe in you
Hear my cry
Do you believe in me
Cuz I believe in you
Hear my cry
Do you believe in me
Cuz I believe in you
Hear my cry
Do you believe in me
Cuz I believe in you
You shaped my passion
But shame my name
Your fear is to listen
And to recognize my pain
You block my journey
You mock my tears
Tell me why
I spoke for us, for we
But now there's just silence
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
For a brighter day
I hope to see you again
For a brighter day
I'm hoping we can still be friends
For a brighter day
I wish we could fly away
Together baby you and I
Can't you hear my cry,
My cry, my cry
[Chorus]
Raindrops on my window sill (well well well)
As quiet as a mouse in here (oh.. uh...)
You're somewhere with the girls doing nails
Dinners takeout no home cooking all year (oh...)
Ain't no use pretending ah naw (ah naw)
Cause perfect I know I have not been (uh...)
But theres gotta be a way to work things out (out)
Twenty years should remove
Chorus
RI: If you love me
PL: I love you
RI: Then how could you go
PL: It's not about the love, it's just I've had enough, maybe we need to let it go (well well well hey)
RI: If you ever loved me
PL: I love you baby
RI: Then how could you leave
PL: Some songs have got to end, we're better off as friends, maybe it's time I go solo (oh)
I know this is confusing to you (very very very)
But it's been coming for a mighty (mighty mighty) long time (long time)
A woman needs to be loved ( I love you baby)
? by the soul, body and mind
You've been taking me for granted (have I really)
No surprises, no flowers, or rings (no..)
Now I can keep you just the way you are, but I know (wait) somethings (listen) will never change
Chorus
RI: If you love me
PL: I love you baby
RI: Then how could you go
PL: It's not about the love, it's just I've had enough, (oh) maybe we need to let it go (well well well)

PL: Some songs have got to end, we're better off as friends, maybe it's time I go solo... solo... solo (don't go)
Bridge:

PL: I don't know
RI: Just tell me exactly what it is
PL: While were over troubled waters, I think this show is over
Chorus:
RI: If you love me
PL: Oh but i still love you

(guitar solo till end)
Here you come
Walking my way
So much inside me
I wanna say
I've been holding on
For the longest time
Yeeesss...
[Chorus:]
Finally got the nerve
To tell you how I feel about you
The nerve
I can't live without you
The nerve
To tell you
What's been on my mind
For a lifetime
I finally got the nerve
I found the words to say
I got the nerve
Can't wait another day
Got the nerve
I don't wanna lose it
This time, noooo...
I'm trying to make
Trying to make a connection
But I'm afraid that there
Might be rejection
On your part
It would break my heart
In a million pieces
Can't go through it (through it)
Another day
I gotta let you know
I feel this way
About you man
I just dream about you
In my life
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
When you walk by me
My heart skips a beat
I contemplate
The thought of you and me
I get weak for you baby
I can't speak
But that's how it is
I know I gotta, gotta keep it real
Cuz you know how
You know how I feel
I'm wanting you
And I'm needing you
Every day
[Chorus]
Down the aisle I'll walk with you
Just to hear the words I do
All of my life I want to be
Good and sweet till eternity
I do thee wed this day
With this ring we go our way
For better or worse I take thee wed
By your hand I will be led
Through the years we'll live in bliss
Life will be full of happiness
Oh chimes from the church bells will ring
With each hour they'll be rippling
Something old, something new
Something borrowed, something blue
I am yours to cherish and behold
With this little band of gold
[Originally by The Delfonics]
I gave my heart and soul to you, girl
Now didn't I do it, baby....didn't I do it baby
Gave you the love you never knew, girl, oh
Didn't I do it, baby...didn't I do it baby
I've cried so many times and that's no lie
It seems to make you laugh each time I cry
Didn't I blow your mind this time, didn't I
Didn't I blow your mind this time, didn't I
Yes sir
I thought that heart of yours was true, girl
Now, didn't I think it baby...didn't I think it baby
But this time I'm really leavin' you girl...oh
Hope you know it baby...hope you know it baby
Ten times or more, yes, I've walked out that door
Get this into your head, there'll be no more
Didn't I blow your mind this time, didn't I
Didn't I blow your mind this time, didn't I
Yes sir
(Didn't I do it baby...didn't I do it baby)
(Didn't I do it baby...didn't I do it baby)
Ten times or more, yes, I've walked out that door
Get this into your head, there'll be no more
Didn't I blow your mind this time, didn't I (oh..)
Didn't I blow your mind this time, didn't I (Hoo..)
Didn't I blow your mind this time, didn't I (Did I blow your mind, baby)
Didn't I blow your mind this time, didn't I (Can't you see)
Didn't I blow your mind this time, didn't I (Did I blow your mind)
Didn't I blow your mind this time, didn't I (Ooh baby, ooh)
Girl, can we talk for a second
I know it's been a long time
Since some someone's blown your mind, like I did
There'll be other times, for me and you
And I can see the tears fallin' from your eyes
Tell me girl, did I blow your mind
Didn't I blow your mind this time, didn't I (Did I blow your mind baby)
Didn't I blow your mind this time, didn't I (Ooh, ooh , ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

Ain't no way
For me to love you
If you won't let me
It ain't no way
For me to give you all you need
If you won't let me
Give all of me
I know that a woman's duty
Is to have and love a man
And that's the way it was planned
Oh but how can i, how can i, how can i
Give you all the things I can
If your tying up both of my hands
Oh ain't no, ain't no way (ain't no way)
It ain't no way no, no, no (ain't no way)
Sho' ain't no way (ain't no way)
It ain't no way (ain't no way)
It ain't no way for me to love you
If you won't let me
So, stop trying to be
Someone your not
Hard, cold and cruel is a man
Who paid to much for what he's got
And if you need me
Won't you say, say you do
Because if you need me
Don't you know I need you
Ain't no way
For me to love you
If you won't let me
Are you ready for a miracle
As ready as I can be
Are you ready for a miracle
The spirit will set you free
Are you ready, ready, ready, ready
I'm ready, I'm ready for a miracle
Jesus went unto the well
and made the water wine
Raised up Lazarus from the dead
Restored sight to the blind
Jesus man of Galilee
He walked across the sea
He said Greater than this shall you do
Gave the power to you and me
Are you ready for a miracle
As ready as I can be
Are you ready for a miracle
The spirit will set you free
Are you ready, ready, ready, ready
I'm ready, I'm ready for a miracle
Jesus taught the lame to walk;
destroyed the Devil's plan
Healed a leper feed five thousand
with just one command
Said, He who has ears, let him hear,
He told the multitudes
And blessed be the pure of heart
for they shall see the truth
Are you ready for a miracle
As ready as I can be
Are you ready for a miracle
The spirit will set you free
Are you ready, ready, ready, ready
I'm ready for a miracle
Blessed be the ones who mourn for
they shall find their peace
Blessed be the ones who thirst
and blessed be the meek
Now are you ready, ready,
Are you ready, ready
Blessed be the innocent
for they shall all be free
Blessed be the miracle
that's made for you and me
Now are you ready, ready
Are you ready, ready
Are you ready for a miracle
As ready as I can be
Are you ready for a miracle
The spirit will set you free
Are you ready, ready, ready, ready
I'm ready, I'm ready for a miracle
You are my friend,
I never knew it 'til then
My friend, my friend
You hold my hand,
You might not say a word
But I see your tears when I show my face
You're my, my friend
I never knew it 'til then
My friend
I feel your love,
When you're not near
It helps me make it knowing you care
The thought of you helps me carryon
When I feel all hope is gone
I see the world wit brand new eyes
Your love has made me realize
My future looks bright to me,
Oh because you are my friend
Da, da, da, da (ad lib)
I've been looking around and you were here all the time.
Da, da, da
I've been around and around and around and around
Da, da, da
I've been looking around and you were here all the time
I'll never hear the bells if you leave me
I'll never hear the bells
I'll never hear the bells if you leave me
I'll never hear the bells
Do you hear what I hear
When your lips are kissing mine
Do you hear my bells honey
Do you hear them ringing
When I'm kissing you baby
What do I have to do
To make you feel the tingling too
Can't you hear the bells honey
Say it's just as good to you as it is to me
I hear the bells, I hear the bells
Oh ringing in my ears
Oh saying do you love me, do you love me
Do you love me, do you love me
Like I love you oh baby
True love and joy, faith and all my strength
I'll give to you darling
My love is yours exclusively
To enjoy any way you want to
But it's one thing I want you to remember
If you ever leave, I believe I'll go insane
Darling I'll never hear the bells again, no, no, no, no, no
Oh baby don't leave me, don't leave me baby
[Chorus:]
Way up there, where peace remains,
Where silent thunders and angels sing.
Imagination and amazing grace,
Bring us colser to our home in space.
[Verse 1:]
The stars are gathered and illuminate,
To lead us safely though heavens gate.
We look behind us at the wonder of the earth,
Only to remind us where God came from.
[Chorus:]
Way up there, where peace remains,
Where silent thunders and angels sing.
Imagination and amazing grace,
Bring us colser to our home in space.
[Verse 2:]
Like a shooting star, through endless time.
We say a prayer for all mankind
If we could only see through that tiny window,
We could be reborn and we all would know that way up there
[Chorus:]
Way up there, where peace remains,
Where silent thunders and angels sing.
Imagination and amazing grace,
Bring us colser to our home in space.
[Bridge:]
We are all, we are one
Created with the sun, moon and stars
Every woman, every child and man
Will one day take each others hand.
[Chorus:]
Way up there, where peace remains,
Where silent thunders and angels sing.
Imagination and amazing grace,
Too many tears, each night I go to bed
I lie awake and shed too many tears
Your memory is bringing me too many tears
Too many years I wasted loving you
And you know I've been through
Too many years I cared a lot what have I got
Too many tears, I know I should have found a new love
And don't you think I didn't try?
But I found out a number two love, never seems to satisfy
I'll never learn to smile again and sing
I gave you everything
And in return what did you leave for souvenirs?
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I've heard of
Once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that we dare to dream
Really do come true
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up, where the clouds
Are far behind me, so far
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Way up above chimney tops
That's where, that's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
If birds if birds fly over the rainbow
Then why, oh why can't I?
If birds fly over the rainbow
Re, re, re, re, re, re, re, re
Release yourself
Release, release
Release yourself
Every day's a new day, everyday was carved
Move in to the rhythm that's repeating in your heart
Every day's a challenge, every day we'll try
Lines got to find in toe to toe when I had you on
Re, re, re, re, re, re, re
Release yourself
Re, re, re, re, re, re, re
Release yourself
Living for tomorrow, got your dreams all laid away
Ah, there's so much pressure, you deserve a break today
(Release)
Every thing's a problem and you can't take much more
Turn up the music, get your body on the floor
Re, re, re, re, re, re, re
Release yourself
Re, re, re, re, re, re, re
Release yourself
Release, release, release yourself
Release, release, release yourself
Release, release, release yourself
Release, release, release yourself
Get up, get down, get up, get out
Do this, do that, solve your problem
Or no, you better jump that
Get up, go on, get up, get on
I do, I don't
Maybe I will but maybe I won't
Release, release, release yourself
Release, release, release yourself
Release, release, release yourself
Release, release, release yourself
You're overworked, you're underpaid
You gotta make it to the top, you gotta make the grade
You're overworked, you're underpaid
You gotta make it to the top, you gotta make the grade
Overtime, you're earning, earning
But you lose your mind, you crash and burn
Overtime, you're earning, earning
But you lose your mind, you crash and burn
Why don't you just try to relax?
Cool it, cool it, cool it
Just a little
Got to find a new way, got to make us count
Listen to the rhythm that's repeating in your heart
You've got the power, drink it off the shelf
If you don't enjoy your life, you can blame nobody else so
Why don't you let, let yourself go?
Why don't you let, let yourself go?
Why don't you let, let yourself go?
Why don't you let, let yourself go?
Release, why don't you? Why don't you?
Release, why don't you? Let it go
Release, why don't you? Why don't you?
Release, why don't you? Let it go
Why don't you? Why don't you?
Why don't you? Let it go
Why don't you? Why don't you?
Why don't you? Let it go
Let it go, let it
Let it go, let it
Let it go, let it
Let it go, go
Let it go, let it
Let it go, love it
Let it go, love it
Let it go
Let it re, re, re, release, release
(Release yourself, relax and let it go)
Release, release, release
(Release yourself)
Release, release, release
(Release yourself)
Release, release
This I know is true, all my life
It's been hard for me to just let go
And to trust someone again
And oh, I will be alright, still I can't let go
So I hold too tight
And I've been hurt like you in my life
But you just go on and start again
Since you left the sun shining
I know that your heart won't break
It'll just get strong, it's a choice we made with our life
Hold on to me and we'll be stronger
Together, stronger forever
Gotta have a little faith
To help us see things through
And I agree that we live our lives
With a hope we'll find that special one
Who knows all that we can be each day
It's a chance we take if we just hold on
Only love's at stake this time
Hold on to me and we'll be stronger
Together, stronger forever
Gotta have a little faith
To help us see things through
(This I know is true)
Yes, we need a little faith, a little bit
Together, me and you
(I believe that we)
(Oh we need)
Yes, we need a little faith, a little bit
(A little bit)
To help us see things through
(You and me, together, forever)
Yes, we need a little faith, a little bit
Together me and you
(That's all we need, that's all we need)
Yes, we need a little faith, a little bit
To help us see things through
Saying goodbye is never an easy thing
But you never said, you stay forever
So if you must go darlin', I'll set you free
But I know in time, we'll be together
I won't try to stop you now from leaving
'Cause in my heart, I know
Love will lead you back, someday I just know that
Love will lead you back to my arms, where you belong
I'm sure, sure as stars are shining
One day you will find me again, it won't be long
One of these days our love will lead you back
One of these nights, I'll hear your voice again
You're gonna say, how much you miss me
You walked out this door but someday you'll walk back in
Darling I know, I know this will be
Sometimes it takes, sometime out on your own now
To find your way back home
Love will lead you back, someday I just know that
Love will lead you back to my arms, where you belong
I'm sure, sure as stars are shining
One day you will find me again, it won't be long
One of these days our love will lead you back
I won't try to stop you now from leaving
'Cause in my heart I know
Love will lead you back, I just know that
Love will lead you back to my arms, where you belong
I'm sure, sure as stars are shining
One day you will find me again, it won't be long
One of these days our love will lead you back
Love will lead you back, someday I just know that
Love will lead you back to my arms, it won't be long
I Love And Need And Want You Baby

More than you ever know
It's for sure you can always
Count on my love for ever more

And my one desire is keeping you satisfied
[Bridge:]
Baby when we
When we're together say
I'm alright and your alright it's like paradise
I just want you to know how I feel
How I feel
Oh I want you
I want you sugar I want you so bad
I got a burning desire my soul's on fire
Can't you see you are my everything
Baby when we
When we're together say
I'm alright and your alright it's like paradise
I just want you to know how I feel
How I feel
Oh I love you
I love you honey I
Love you I do
More than you ever know
It's for sure
You can always count on my love for ever more
[Chorus:]

Love and need and want you baby
I love and need and want you baby
Love and need and want you baby
You can count on me for ever more

[Bridge 2:]
I got this burning desire My soul's on fire
You can't count on me for ever more
I love baby I need
Baby I want your love
Oh I Love you I need you
You can always count on my love for ever more
We stood on an island of our own,
From the moment we first met,
And we will forever,
So seldom found ; A privilege to hold,
Like a precious stone,
That I will always treasure,
In my mind I picture you,
And thought you're far away,
It's like you're right here with me everyday,
Let me be there for you,
Let me be there for you,
Whenever you need a friend,
Please think of me,
No matter what you go through,
There's someone you can trun to,
Whenever you need a friend who cares,
Let me be there,
You think you've got a friend and then you see,
When your eyes are closed,
They're out to deceive,
No need to wonder when it comes to me,
By now, You should know,
I'm the one you can believe,
In this game of life we play,
You can't always win,
And when you look for refuge,
Take my hand,
Let me be there for you,
Let me be there for you,
Whenever you need a friend,
Please think of me,
No matter what you go through,
There's someone you can turn to,
Whenever you need a friend who cares,
I must have rehearsed my lines
A thousand times
Until I had them memorized
But when I get up the nerve
To tell you, the words
Just never seem to come out right
If only you knew
How much I do
Do love you
If only you knew
How much I do
Do need you
I dream of moments we share
But you're not there
I'm living in a fantasy
'Cause you don't even suspect
Could prob'ly care less
About the changes I've been going through
If only you knew
How much I do
Do love you
If only you knew
How much I do
Do need you
No, you don't even suspect
Could prob'ly care less
About the changes I've been going through
If only you knew
How much I do
Do love you
If only you knew
How much I do
Do need you
If only you knew
How much I do
Do love you
If only you knew
How much I do
Ask me how much you mean to me
And I wouldn't even know where to start
Ask if this love runs deep in me
And you won't find a deeper love in any heart
You could say you couldn't live one day without me
You could say all of your thoughts are about me
You could think no other love could be as strong
But you'd be wrong, you'd be wrong
If you say that you love me
More than anybody
Than anyone's ever been loved before
As much as you love me
Baby, I'll still love you
Baby, I'll still love you more
I'll still love you more
Ask me just what I'd do for you
And I'll tell you I would do anything
Ask if this heart beats true for you
I'll show you a truer heart could never be
You could say there's not a star that you won't bring me
You could say there'll be no day that you won't need me
You could think no other love could last as long
But you'd be wrong, you'd be wrong
If you say that you love me
More than anybody
Than anyone's ever been loved before
As much as you love me
Baby, I'll still love you
Baby, I'll still love you more
And for every kiss I'll kiss you back a hundred times
And for everything you do I'll just do more
And for all the love you give I'll give you so much back you'll see
Got so much love for you inside
If you say that you love me
More than anybody
Than anyone's ever been loved before
No matter how much you love me
Baby, I'll still love you
Baby, I'll still love you more
Sometime, I can't help thinking
Just what my life is for
I try to do very best that I can
Yet, I know I can do more
This life I lead is not one without its pain
That doesn't mean I should smile nothing there to gain
I can't complain
I know the sun shines through the rains
It still survives
I can't complain
Everyday is a new beginning
And this is journey of my life
Journey of my life
I've done just as I've desired
Lived on wire without a net, been so many places
Said, "I've seen so many faces
Beautiful friends I will never forget"
Sometimes I look above and think, I wanna give it up
Then I remember all the lives that I have touched
I can't complain
I know the sun shines through the rains
It still survives
I can't complain
Everyday is a new beginning
And this is journey of my life
Journey of my life
So many yesterdays have come and gone their way
Love leads me straight and clear into the light of day
I'm not the only one who's learned to try again
And through it all I've got my family and friends
So I can't complain
I know the sun shines through the rains
It still survives
I can't complain
Everyday is a new beginning
And this is journey of my life
I can't complain
I know the sun shines through the rains
It still survives
I can't complain
Everyday is a new begining
And this is journey of my life
And this is journey of my life

Now that I'd do anything for you
Don't make me over
Now that you know how I adore you
Don't pick on the things I say, the things I do
Just love me with all my faults
The way that I love you, I'm begging you
Don't make me over
Now that I can't make it without you
Don't make me over
I wouldn't change one thing about you
Just take me inside your arms and hold me tight

I wouldn't change one thing about you
Accept me for what I am
Accept me for the things that I do
Accept me for what I am
We can't change the way we were
But we can change the way we are
All I really wanted from this crazy love
Was a night so full of stars
That our hearts could not pretend
And what I wouldn't give
To have that crazy love again
I believe in second chances
And I'm holding on for sure
To your crazy love
To your crazy love
Crazy love
I lived my l life for you
And honey now, now I'm left with me
Hanging on to pieces of what used to be
And no matter how I try
When I feel another's touch
It brings me back to why
I miss our crazy love so much
I believe in second chances
And I'm holding on for sure
To your crazy love
To your crazy love
Crazy love
I can light the fire alone in the dark
But maybe if we look inside there's still a spark
Said, "I believe in second chances
And I'm holding on for sure
To our crazy love
It was crazy love"
I had some problems
And no one could seem to solve them
But you found the answer
You told me to take this chance
And learn the ways of love, my baby
And all that it has to offer
In time you will see
That love won't let you down
You said that you loved me
Said, "Hurt only came to pass me"
It sounded so convincing
That I gave it half a chance
And learned the ways of love, my baby
(Ways of love)
There is so much love inside me
And all that I have I give my all to you
All, all my loving
And all this love is waiting for you
My baby, my darling
And all this love is waiting for you
(All my love is waiting for you)
I had some problems
And no one could seem to solve them
But you, you, you found the answer
So I gave it half chance
And learn the ways of love, my baby
(And learn the ways of love)
And all that it has to offer
And all that I have, I give my all to you
All, all my lovin'
And all this love is waiting for you
My baby, my sugar
And all this love is waiting for you
(All my love is waiting for you)
All this love is waiting for you
And all this love is waiting for you
(All my love is waiting for you)
My baby
(And baby all, baby all, all)
And all this love is waiting for you
My sugar, my baby
And all this love is waiting for you
(All my love is waiting for you)
Oh, I love how you make me feel this way
My love is getting stronger every day, my baby
And after all I went and put myself through
I found that all I really needed was you, my darlin'
As the sun has it's place up in the sky
I love you so dearly
And all the same, there's no need to wonder why
I need you, please hear me
Say you really love me, baby

Oh, 'cause I really love you, baby
Show me that love, darlin'
Say, say you love me, oh, I love you
And baby all, all my love waitng for you
There's an old friend
That I once heard say
Something that touched my heart
And it began this way
I was born by the river
In a little tent
And just like the river
I've been runnin' ever since
He said it's been a long time comin'
But I know my change is gonna come, oh yeah
He said it's been too hard livin'
But I'm afraid to die
I might not be if I knew what was up there
Beyond the sky
It's been a long, a long time comin'
But I know my change has got to come, oh yeah
I went, I went to my brother
And I asked him, "Brother
Could you help me, please? "
He said, "Good sister
I'd like to but I'm not able"
And when I, when I looked around
I was right back down
Down on my bended knees, yes I was, oh
There've been times that I thought
I thought that I wouldn't last for long
But somehow right now
I believe that I'm able, I'm able to carry on
I tell you that it's been a long
And oh it's been an uphill journey, all the way
But I know, I know, I know
I know my change is gonna come
Sometimes
I had to cry all night long, yes I did
Sometimes
I had to give up right, for what I knew was wrong
Yes it's been an uphill journey
It's sure's been a long way comin', yes it has
It's been real hard every step of the way
But I believe, I believe
This evenin' my change is come
It's hard to see the fear inside As I walk away from you And
distance overcomes the miles As slowly I pull through And I
cannot reach the world today 'cause I'm suffering from you And
the more I think, the more I cry As I walk away from you
[Chorus:] I'm two steps away From loneliness I'm awake From the
mess we made I'm alive And I'm feeling incomplete
I don't understand my life Or the version that chose you And the
warring hearts and winter came Now there's nothing left to do And
I cannot reach the world today 'cause I'm suffering from two And
the more I think, the more we die As I walk away from you
[Chorus]
[Bridge:] I'm two steps away I'm two step away I'm two steps away
I'm two steps away
Two steps away Two steps away From loneliness I'm awake From
the mess we made I'm alive
In a world of superheros, in a world of weak and strong
In a sea of have and have nots, I've survived the raging storm
And I pray for a world where we all can be free
It's a heavenly vision, it's a garden that I see
It's a joy that graced the heart of loving me
When you've been blessed, feels like heaven
When you've been blessed, feels like heaven, heaven
I have faith, I have hope and I trust in the day
When the music from heaven will show us the way
It's a garden of music, it's a garden of love
And we are all his children sharing gifts from above
When you've been blessed, feels like heaven, heaven
When you've been blessed, pass it on, pass it on
[Incomprehensible] pass it on and on, and on, and on
When you've been blessed, feels like heaven, heaven
When you've been blessed, feels like heaven, heaven
When you've been blessed, feels like heaven, heaven
When you've been blessed, feels like heaven, heaven
You're driving me crazy, it's something I can't explain
Whatever you're doing to me why don't you do it again?
I've never been so in love must've been sent from above
To fill my empty nights make everything alright
Your love is too good for words
Mm, mm, mm
Mm, mm, mm
Mm, mm, mm
Your love is everything
If I could imagine the perfect man it would be you
You bring out the woman in me with everything that you do
I've never been so alive where have you been all my life
I love the way it feels to have a man that's real I'm so happy inside
Mm, mm, mm
Mm, mm, mm
Mm, mm, mm
Your love is everything
Anything you want from me I will give you what you need
Just say the word and it's done
I know you're the one your kiss is like a drug to me
Love the way you're touching me I'm addicted to you
And that thing that you do
Mm, mm, mm
Mm, mm, mm
Mm, mm, mm
Here we are, just goin' through the motions one more time
You look into my eyes, but you don't see me
Here I am, feelin' like a stranger in your arms
I touch you, I hold you, but lately I don't know you
Something is wrong, but we go on from day to day
And we just pretend it all away
We act like nothing's changed
But in our hearts we know, it's not the same, oh, no
'Cause we're not makin' love anymore
Baby, we're not makin' love like before
We may hold each other tight
Say that everything's alright
But we're not makin' love, mmm, hmm
Remember when you couldn't wait to run into my arms
When the love inside my heart was all you needed
Remember when you made me wish the night would never end
The fire, the thunder, we lived to love each other
If ever two hearts were one, then it was yours and mine
That was another place in time
Now all we have to show
Are memories of a dream we used to know
'Cause we're not makin' love anymore
Baby, we're not makin' love like before
We may hold each other tight
Say that everything's alright
But we're not makin' love
When did we lose our way
We had it all
Don't know how it all just slipped away
Oh, but, oh, can we get it back again
Is it too late
Can we try (Can we try)
Just one more time (One more time)
'Cause darlin'
'Cause we're not makin' love anymore
Baby, we're not makin' love like before
We may hold each other tight
Say that everything's alright
But we're not makin' love anymore (Anymore)
Baby, we're not makin' love like before
We're not makin' love anymore
Can we find a way to try
Find the magic one more time
One of these mornings won't be very long
You'll look for me and I?ll be gone, yes, I will
I?m going to a place where there'll be nothing, nothing to do
But simply walk around Heaven all day
When I get to Heaven, I'm gonna jump and shout
Nobody will be able to put me out
My mother, she'll be waiting, my father, my three sisters too
We?ll get together and walk around Heaven all day
Oh Father up above, don?t You hear, can't You hear me praying?
I need You, I need You to walk right by my side
Lord, when my way, when my way gets cloudy
I need You for my guide
Everyday will be Sunday, my Lord, Sabbath will have no end
We?ll do nothing but sing and praise His holy name
And when He says, "Sister, well done"
Then my race, one that's [Incomprehensible] will be won
Gonna walk around Heaven, walk around Heaven
Walk around Heaven, walk around Heaven
I'll walk around Heaven, walk around Heaven
I sparkle, loving the way that I do
It is true I feel so good just having you
Breathlessly and eager, submission isn't easy for me
We were so loving wasn't we? I'd always known it could be
Don't want to do nothing, tied against your will
This ain't no cheap thrill, you got to know just how it feel
If you think your going to fall, all you have to do is call
I have nothing in myself and I give myself to you
Say child tingle sparkle, I hope the love never breaks away
Fire burning everyday and save all the warmth for you
Just want you to know when the jealous issues
Understand there will be no other man but you baby
You can believe this love in me as I believe
And when times are low and I am really on your mind
Everybody needs some time, something funky good and kind
And you always seem to please me and you wear me down so easy
Good work is never done until the morning comes
Just want you to know when the jealous issues
Understand there will be no other man but you baby
You can believe this love in me as I believe in you
Don't want to do nothing, tied against your will
This ain't no cheap thrill, you got to know just how it feel
And if you think your going to fall, all you have to do is call
I have nothing in myself and I give myself to you
And when times are low and I am really on your mind
Everybody needs some time, something funky good and kind
Breathlessly and eager, you got me round your finger
A sparkle with the fire, you always take me higher
You always seem to please me, you wear me down so easy
If we are one big happy family
No one would have to beg to eat
If we live in a world of dignity
No man would have to live on the street
If I tell you you're a part of me
There's no need for disbelief
Here is my hand to let you know
That what we dream we all can hold
Apart we are weak together we're strong
Oh, people we are writing this song
We're all living these words together forever
There's no reason, we can't live and be one
Build the world that we want together
For as long as you stand here by me, we'll live on
Think of all the possibilities that the eyes of a child can see
Think of all the opportunities that float right by you and me
Take my hand and we will know
All that we dream we our own
Apart we are weak together we're strong
Oh, people we are writing this song
We're all living these words together forever
There's no reason, we can't live and be one
Build the world that we want together
For as long as you stand here by me, we'll live on
Oh, people we are writing this song
We're all living these words together forever
There's no reason oh no, we can't live and be one
Yes I want to think, think, think
Oh, people, people, people, I said, you said
Think of all the possibilities that the eyes of a child can see
Think of all the opportunities that float right by you and me
There's a room for us all
Runnin' hot, runnin' cold
I was runnin' into overload, it was extreme
I took it so high, so low
So low, there was nowhere to go like a bad dream
Somehow the wires uncrossed, my tables were turned
Never knew I had such a lesson to learn
I'm feelin' good from my head to my shoes
Know where I'm goin' and I know what to do
I tied it up my point of view
I got a new attitude!
I'm in control, my worries are few
'Cause I've got love like I never knew
Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo
I got a new attitude!
I'm wearing a new dress, new hair
Brand new ideas, as a matter of fact I've changed for good
It must have been the cool night, new moon, slight change
More than to figure oh but I feel like I should, yes
Somehow the wires uncrossed, my tables were turned
Never knew I had such a lesson to learn
I'm feelin' good from my head to my shoes
Know where I'm goin' and I know what to do
I tied it up my point of view
I got a new attitude
I'm in control, my worries are few
'Cause I've got love like I never knew
Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo
I got a new attitude
Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo
Somehow the wires uncrossed, my tables were turned
Never knew I had such a lesson to learn
I'm feelin' good from my head to my shoes
Know where I'm goin' and I know what to do
I tied it up my point of view
I got a new attitude
I'm in control, my worries are few
'Cause I've got love like I never knew
Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo
I got a new attitude
Feelin', feelin'
(Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo)
(Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo)
From my head to my shoes
(Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo)
I'm loving you
(I got a new attitude)
I got a new, new attitude!
(Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo)
Everything about be has changed
(Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo)
Baby I ain't the same
(I got a new attitude!)
Oh I got a new, I got a new
(Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo)
I got a brand new, brand new
(Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo)
I don't know why but I'm feelin' so sad
I long to try something I've never had
Never had no kissin', ooh, what I've been missin'
Lover man, oh, where can you be?
The night is cold and I'm so all alone
I'd give my soul just to call you my own
Got a moon above me but no one to love me
Lover man, oh, where can you be?
I've heard it said that the thrill of romance
Can feel like a heavenly dream
I go to bed with a prayer that you'll make frantic love to me
Oh, strange as it seems
Someday we'll meet and you'll dry all my tears
Then whisper sweet little things in my ears
A-huggin' and a-kissin', ooh, what we've been missin'
Lover man, oh, where can you be?
I've heard it said that the thrill of romance
Can feel like, heavenly, heavenly dream
I go to bed with a prayer that you'll make frantic love to me
Strange as it seems
Someday we'll meet and you'll dry all my tears
And whisper sweet little things in my ears
A-huggin' and a-kissin', ooh, what we've been missin'
Lover man, oh, where can you be?
Lover man, oh, where can you be?
People will tell you,
So many things,
Just to be closer to you,
Darlin' believe in me,
I'm gonna try,
To help you see your way through,
I'm on your side,
Anytime day or right,
Live is just a whisper away,
No need to shout,
That ain't what it's about,
Love is just a whisper away,
Really don't matter,
Where you may be,
You've got a griend in me,
Don't be shy,
I'll be here,
Stop on by,
All of your tears I'll dry,
No doubt about it,
No one should stand alone,
Come on in time of need,
My love will guide you,
When you can't find your way,
I'll move mountains for you,
If you just ask me to,
Baby let me do something for you,
I'm on your side,
Anytime day or night,
Love is just a whisper away,
No need to shout,
That ain't what it's about,
Hey sister, go sister, soul sister, go sister
Hey sister, go sister, soul sister, go sister
He met Marmalade down in old New Orleans
Struttin' her stuff on the street
She said, "Hello, hey Joe
You wanna give it a go?"
Mmm, gitchi gitchi ya ya da da
Gitchi gitchi ya ya here
Mocca chocolata ya ya
Creole Lady Marmalade
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi, ce soir?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?
He savored her cool while she freshed up
That boy drank all that magnolia wine
On the black satin sheets where
He started to freak
Gitchi gitchi ya ya da da
Gitchi gitchi ya ya here
Mocca chocalata ya ya
Creole Lady Marmalade
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi, ce soir?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?
Seeing her skin feeling silky smooth
Color of cafe au lait
Made the savage beast inside
Roaring till it cried, "More, more, more"
Now he's at home doing 9 to 5
Living his brave life of lies
But when he turns off to sleep
All memories keep more, more, more
Gitchi gitchi ya ya da da da
Gitchi gitchi ya ya here
Mocca chocolata ya ya
Creole Lady Marmalade
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi, ce soir?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?
Voulez-vous couchez avec moi, ce soir?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?
Gitchi gitchi ya ya da da da
Gitchi gitchi ya ya here
Mocca chocolata ya ya
If I was the sun
I would shine my light to light your world
If I was the rain
I would wash your tears away
Your world bright, be your light in the night
If I was the sky
I would rain down love into your life, oh
If I was a river
You would be my ocean
Every stream would lead me to your arms
And if, if I was a river
I'd flow to you forever
Love would run forever
In these arms of mine
Oh, if, if I
If, if I was a river, oh
If I was the wind
I would carry you above the clouds
If I was the earth
I would be your solid ground
Oh, if I could
I'd be all you ever would need
I would be your world
You're the only world there is for me
Oh, If I was a river
You would be my ocean
Every stream would lead me to your arms
And if, if I was a river
I'd flow to you forever
Love would run forever
In these heart of mine
Oh, if, if I
If I was a river
I'd run, yes
Into your arms, into your arms, oh I
Oh, I'd run to you babe
If I was a river
You would be my ocean
Every stream would lead me to your arms
And if, if I was a river
I'd flow to you forever
Love would run forever
In these heart of mine
If I, if I
If I, If I was a river
If I was a river
You would be my ocean
Every stream would lead me to your arms
And if, if I was a river
I'd flow to you forever
Love would run forever
In these heart of mine
If I, if I
I used to think that I could not go on
And life was nothing but an awful song
But now I know the meaning of true love
I'm leaning on the everlasting arms
If I can see it then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it
I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
See I was on the verge of breaking down
Sometimes silence can seem so loud
There are miracles in life I must achieve
But first I know it starts inside of me, oh
If I can see it then I can be it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it
I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
Hey, 'cause I believe in me, oh
If I can see it then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it
I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
If I just spread my wings
I can fly
I can fly
I can fly, hey
If I just spread my wings
Gee, I wish it was ten o'clock
Come on, baby, it's time to rock
I'm so glad I've got you here
Makes me happy when you are near
(Ooh whee)
This feelin's killin' me
(Aw, shucks)
I wouldn't stop it for a million bucks
(I love you so)
Come on, baby, now don't let go
Thunder, lightnin', wind and rain
(Don't let go, don't let go)
Keeps on poundin' inside my brain
(Don't let go, don't let go)
I'm so glad that I can see
(Don't let go, don't let go)
You've been keepin' on next to me
(Don't let go, don't let go)
(Ooh whee)
This feelin's killin' me
(Aw, shucks)
I wouldn't stop it for a million bucks
(I love you so)
Come on, baby, now don't let go, oh yeah
(Ooh whee)
This feelin's killin' me
(Aw, shucks)
I wouldn't stop it for a million bucks
(I love you so)
Come on, baby, now don't let go
One day, baby, you'll quit me yet
(Don't let go, don't let go)
I'll be cryin' and sad, you're bad
(Don't let go, don't let go)
There's one thing I'll never stand
(Don't let go, don't let go)
You goin' out with another man
(Don't let go, don't let go)
(Ooh whee)
This feelin's killin' me
(Aw, shucks)
I wouldn't stop it for a million bucks
(I love you so)
Come on, baby, now don't let go
Come on, baby, now don't let go
Don't let go
Don't let go
Don't let go
(Don't let go)
Don't let go
Don't let go
Don't let go
(Don't let go, don't let go)
Don't let go
(Don't let go)
Don't let go
Don't let go
(Don't let go)
Don't let go
There's no such a thing as a broken heart,
It can't be shattered, can't be torn apart,
It won't start bleeding when love seems gone,
It just keeps beating on and on and on and on,
Someday this hurt that I feel will pass,
These tears I cry over you won't last,
I know my dreams won't really die,
And there's life for me so much life when I,
One by one I learn, don't block the blessing,
See all the love that still surrounds my life,
Step by step I'll move out of the darkness,
And make my way in to the light,
There's no gain living in the past,
Wishing for yesterdays we no longer have,
Each new moment brings me some,
Brand new chance to overcome,
One by one I learn, don't block the blessings,
See all the love that still surrounds my life,
Step by step I moved out of darkness,
And made my way in to the light,
There's no gain living in the past,
Wishing for yesterdays we no longer have,
Each new moment brings me some brand new chance,
I think I will overcome,
Don't block the blessings,
Don't give up what ever you do,
Don't block the blessings,
Wish I was your child
Hold me in your heart
We could love so free
And no, we'd never part
But I'm not a child
And wishes are
Just child's play, my love
Now I'll never be afraid
Of who I am
And who I'm not
Come what may
Wish I was a bird
I'd warm you in my wings
Safe from all the storms
You know true love can bring
But I'm not a bird
And wishes can
Just fly away, my love
And I'll never be afraid
Of who I am
And who I'm not
Come what may
Oh, I'm no fool
Shining in your eyes
Of the above stars, my love
No, we'll never be afraid
Of who we are
And who we're not
Come what may
Of who we are
And who we're not
Come what may
Wish I was your child
Wish I was a bird
You're a victim of the life you lead
In your heart of hearts you can't concede
That you could be so much more
Can't breathe in this atmosphere
You're afraid you're gonna disappear
Into yourself
And become someone else
Come as you are
I'll be here for you
Come as you are
Let me adore you
My open arms are waiting for you
All you have to do is come as you are
Doesn't matter how you paint your face
There's a beauty that you can't erase
That mirrors the heart of your soul
(Who says) angels aren't suppose to cry
(Who says) that you have to let your life slip by
And never reveal
The passion you feel
Come as you are
I'll be here for you
Come as your are
Let me adore you
My open arms are waiting for you
All you have to do is come as you are
You've got to gather up your confidence
And wear it like a halo
Open your eyes so you can see... yourself
I will always be right here for you
Just show me what's real
Try to reveal
The passion you feel
Come as you are
I'll be here for you
I'm waiting for you
All you gotta do
All you have to do it
Come as you are
I will adore you
All you have to do
Is come
[Verse 1:]
Ooo... Hey... Ooo...
Some may say there ain't no way
Your dreams gonna see the light of day.
Don't believe that you can't achieve,
Whatever you're after.
Can't be swayed by the simple minds
That wanna hold you down.
And in his time, the pain you carry,
Will be left far behind. (Yayee-yeah)
[Bridge:]
Better listen to the sermon.
Better ask the Lord for guidance. (aye-yayee-aye)
You will see the many blessings.
Blessings you have received.
Better give him all the glory (glory)
Better tend to his authority [?]. Nothing [?]
All the lies [?] and all the stories,
Meant to shame your name.
[Chorus:]
Don't let no one stand in your life,
Change the way you feel inside.
Nobody on this earth,
Can tell you what you're worth. (Stand, Stand up.)
You're a child of the King,
And you can do anything.
[Verse 2:]
You try to please everyone, tryin' to live your life,
Release those old delusions.
Stop wasting time... and... start embracing his light and let it shine.
(Count your blessings) [?]
When they say, oh, it ain't no way
(It won't matter) [?]
Never stop beliving in yourself
In the Lord, then, you'll see, all the answers that free,
You from change that would seem to, keep you standing still...
[Chorus x3]
[Ad lib:]
Stand in your light, change the way you feel, oh... tell you what you're worth
Call and Response:
I'm livin'
We're livin'
Been given
God's been giving
Position (Oh-oh-oh)
(My prerogative) [?]
It's on you
You can leave them all
Behind you
When you have the love
(Ahhhh...)
[Ad lib:]
