If we try to live together and be happy
You and me are one and we've only just begun
So let's make a new beginning have some fun
1-Love is all we need, to make everything complete
All we need is L-O-V-E, love is all we need
'Cause to love you would mean everything
Everybody needs love
Dealing with tough times seems to always blow my mind
But I know where my heart is so I am fine, I'm fine
If we remain friends it would never ever end
On this love I give to you, you can depend
(repeat 1)
Love is all we need to make every little thing complete
Yeah, yeah, oh if you would trust in me
I would let you know that I love you, that I love you
Oh, Lord, don't ever leave me...
Love is all we need, yeah, yeah, yeah

Chirs shorty got this, fly angel
My dremas of a queen came true in this land that's dark
If you my man and you my heart I blast for you
Need bail put up the cash for you, die for you
Leave them if they acting too sly for you
Quick to put your name in some murder one
I'm not the one cheatin' on you or beatin' on you
'Cause I'm laid back you thought that I was sleeping on you?
Real love make a ill thug feel bug
Now analyze, are you trustworthy by the looks in your eye?
Stay with me

Really need is love, strictly
Love is all we need to make everything complete
I want to be happy yeah, want to be happy

Bad Boy, Mary J. Blige
Yeah, back together again

Looking at you from a distance
Getting all of my attention
Could this be love at first sight, baby
You walked away and I missed you
Visions of wanting to kiss you
How could this be if I don't really know you
Ah baby, baby
Could it be
1 - Could it be love at first sight
And I never knew that I
Could fall in love on the very first night
Ooh, could this be love
You had on the latest fashion
It was a big attraction
It drew me closer and closer to you
Yeah baby
I've never done anything like this
But you, I just could not resist
I swallowed my pride and snapped to your sound
Oh could it be, be
Repeat 1
I wanna know if you could call me up
Then maybe someday we just might hook up
Could this be love at first sight
[Method]
Yo, once again, it's that other M&M; now
How many women feelin' 'em
Somebody call the coronor, quick, Mary you's killin' them
Tell 'em what's the 4-1-1 and who came runnin'
When Clef dialed 9-1-1 from shots commin'
It's something for the radio, guest starring MC
John Blazing the hip hop and R&B;
What? You betcha wasn't gon' see me
You can't spell Mary J. Blige without a JB
But back to the matter and the sex on a platter
She only wanna be happy and I ain't mad at her, you go mama
Now adays I'm more calmer
And if you take a look at my life, no more drama
Now you know
You searching for a Wu-Tang pro
You find me just about everywhere the Pu-Tang go
Now you know
Feel me like your favorite love song
Cuz my computer love is the truth dot com
Repeat 1 until fade

I hope that you've been thinking about me
Chorus
I hope that you have been thinking of me too
The way that I have been thinking of you
I hope that you have been thinking of me too
The way that I have been thinking of you
Pick up the phone to call you
But I hung up cause I'm so afraid
Afraid of rejection
Or another woman in your face
Hopin' all day that you would call me
And that you're thinkin' of me too
Well in my case with the game of love
If I played I would probably lose
Chorus
I hope that you have been thinking of me too
The way that I have been thinking of you
I hope that you have been thinking of me too
The way that I have been thinking of you
I hope that you're thinkin' of me
And I pray every night you love me
I don't ever want what we have to end
And I'll always be your friend
Don't you feel me calling from afar
If you don't know I've been there from the start
As sure as my name is what it is
You'll always have a place in my heart
Chorus
I hope that you have been thinking of me too
The way that I have been thinking of you
I hope that you have been thinking of me too
The way that I have been thinking of you
Ooh, ooh, ooh....
I hope that you have been thinking of me
The way that I have been thinking of you
When I pray every night
That it's me in your dreams when your sleepin'
I really hope that I'm the that you're thinking about
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
Chorus
I hope that you have been thinking of me too (I hope that, I hope that you've
been thinkin')
The way that I have been thinking of you (All the time, can't get you off my
mind baby)
I hope that you have been thinking of me too
The way that I have been thinking of you
See I hope that it's you
And I hope that you are baby
Thinking of me too
Ooh, yeah, yeah...
See I hope that you are
Ooh, you're thinking of me
I need for you to think about me
Like I think about you baby
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
I hope that it's you
And I hope that you're thinking of, thinking of, thinking of me too
Baby...
Ooh baby...

Something bout a sweet ron de vu in the a.m.
God, I like spendin time with you in the a.m.
[Verse 1]
Its about six and the sun is on its way up
I'm half asleep,
waiting for your touch to wake me up
i like the way you call me,
the way you whisper peace,
the things you reveal
God, i know you're real,
nothing like the way you make me feel
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
I have to admit, this is the way to start the day
Captured in love,
Jesus, your love takes me away

the things you reveal
God, I know you're real
Nothing like the way you make me feel
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
What you do to me
I just can't explain

What it means to me
To hear you call my name

What a perfect way
For me to start the day
Captured in love,
Jesus, your love takes me away
[Chorus]
i've been thinking lately baby
maybe we should leave here tonight
ive been pushing papers crazy
even if its wrong i feel its right
maybe we could make sweet love
girl i know it feels so good
in order to escape this pressure
you know what? we should
(chorus)
steal away steal away
before a day, we'll never say
we should've left, much more soon
for one night last, share the moon
can we make love, all damn day
You know I really need you sugar
I want you to make me your wife
i cant wait to leave out
so we can be together no doubts
that my love, it has no limits
so i will wipe away your frown
Packed all my sexy secrets
now i'll join you for the rest of my life
(chorus)
For sure ma i'll steal away
Car keys to my mens Benz and peel away
Spillin zay, whether your man like it or not
He aint diggin it right
So I'mma be pipin' a lot
I see a hot mami hold on if you able
We put a flick on your hand
I'll floss your navel
What it calls im able to make you happy
Wether it's the back of da fo' dot six in the Navi
Blakets and pillow fluffed up
And we shine like we Puffed up
Blowin that dro till we fucked up
His luck's up, I just stole his honey

his gold is honey cuz my gold is money
He can have my wife, while me and you live a lavish life
Wit ya V secret satin type, thongs and bras
I'm hoping to god this aint no mirage
(chorus)

(feat. U2)
Is it getting better
Or do you feel the same?
Will it make it easier on you now?
You got someone to blame
You say one love, one life (one life)
It's one need in the night
One love (one love), get to share it
Leaves you darling, if you don't care for it
Did I disappoint you?
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without
Well it's too late, tonight
To drag the past out into the light
We're one, but we're not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other
One...
Have you come here for forgiveness?
Have you come to raise the dead?
Have you come here to play Jesus?
To the lepers in your head
Well, did I ask too much, more than a lot?
You gave me nothing, now it's all I got
We're one, but we're not the same
Cos if we, hurt each other
Then we do it again
You say
Love is a temple
Love is a higher law
Love is a temple
Love is the higher law
You ask me to enter
Well then you make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what you got
When all you got is hurt
One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should
One life
With each other
Sisters and my
Brothers
One life

And I know that you love me
Baby, admit it
(feat. Method Man)
[Mary J. Blige]
Lookin' at you from a distance
Gettin' all of my attention
Could this be love at first sight, baby
You walked away and I missed you
Visions of wanting to kiss you
How could this be if I don't really know you?
Ohh baby, baby
[Chorus: Mary J. Blige]
Could it be love at first sight?
And I never knew that I, could fall in love on the very first night
Could this be love?
[Mary J. Blige]
You had on the latest fashion
It was a bigger distraction
It drew me closer and closer to you, yeah, baby
I never saw anything like this
But you I just could not resist
I swallowed my pride and stepped through your side
Or could it be - be
[Chorus]
[Hook: Mary J. Blige]
I wanna know if you could call me up (could you call me up sometime? please)
And maybe somebody we just might hook up, could this love at first sight?
[Method Man]
Once again, it's that other M&M; now
How many women feelin' him?
Somebody call the coroner, quick, Mary is killin 'em
Tell 'em what's the 411 and who came runnin'
When Clef dialed 911 from shots comin'
This somethin' for the radio, guest starring M.C.
Johnny Blazin' the hip hop and R&B;
What, ya'll thought ya wasn't gon' see me
You can't spell Mary J. Blige without a J.B.
Well back to the matter, and it's sex on the platter
She only wanna be happy and I ain't mad at her
You go momma, nowadays, I'm more calmer
And if you take a look at my life, no more drama
Now you know, you searchin' for a Wu-Tang pro
You find me, just bout everywhere the poontang go
Now you know, feel me like your favorite love song
Cuz my computer love is the thetruth.com
[Phone dialling]
[Mary]
What's up, this is Mary, leave a message, and I'll holla back, peace
[Diddy]
Yo, yo Mary, pick up the phone girl
Ay yo Mary, pick up the phone girl
[MJ] Hello?
[PD] Ay yo, what's up?
[MJ] What's up Puff?
[PD] Girl you ready?
[MJ] I'm always ready
[Diddy]
It's about that time again
This the moment they all been waiting for
Time to take it back to the gutter
The queen of hip-hop soul
[Mary (Jay-Z)]
Oohh, live your life cos life is love
Always thank the man above (thank you, uh)
The more you the more you get (that's real talk)
Yeah, yeah (let me warm it up for ya)
[Jay-Z]
Who better than Usher you back through the gutter
Than America's number one hustler (Sean Carter)
Don't call it or come back
Unless there's some money attached to that
And you can call it whatever you like, in fact
It's something like a phenomenon
Like I'm a younger bro
Taking my hostile games gone
TV just for dunkin on
Whoever want it with Sean he can get it jumpin like Donkey Kong
We could get it thumpin like bum-ba-bum
Travel the way of the gun, come on, c-come on
No, I'm not only beggin I'm eggin you on
Until you dead or gone that's the vendetta I'm on
This ain't no video game with wrestlers on it
The competitor on this is on some shit
On this come through all black like a Amish
Holsters under the armpit, the arm spit, ha
Just that Brooklyn don shit
Along with the queen from Yonkers
Come on kiss the ring
Fore I let miss Mary sing
Supposed to you a soul in the everything, yeah
It's classic material
I see you bastards at the burial
Jay go first and then Mary go, round
I just ride, hole her down with the fifth by my side
Me and miss Blige
Look up in the sky it's a bird a that came
In the hydro flow that I bought to the game
I could go mo' but I'm a let ma do her thang
Brooklyn, we did it again
[Diddy]
I can't really explain what it is about her
I don't know it's just, it's something special
Ain't nobody like her, there's only one Mary
Only one queen of hip-hop soul
Love and life, let's do it
The day seems so very long
But I'm trying to be strong
(Trying to be strong)
Well, hold on, I say
Things will soon turn my way
And then I'll have a clear view
But I gotta keep
Keep your head to the sky
I don't need to tell you why
Keep your head to the sky
I don't need to tell you why
I sometimes get worried
And I wonder why I worry
Cause I know that I will make it through the storm
I'm tryin not to lose my cool
Because if in this world I do
The only person that's gonna miss out on everything is me
And I gotta keep
oooh, ooh
oh, ooh, oh
Keep your head up
Don't you look down for nobody
Don't you do it, don't you do it
Keep your head
Everyday's a struggle
But struggling to be
Is very hard, so very hard
Because I'm out here trying to do the right thing
And when I look around here's the wrong thing
Tempting me to make me disagree
About how I feel about me
You know I love music
And every time I hear something hot
It makes me wanna move
It makes me wanna have fun
But it’s something about this joint right here
This joint right here
Its makes me wanna…..Woooh
Let it go……
Can’t let this thing called love get away from you
Feel free right now, going do what you want to do
Can’t let nobody take it away, from you, from me, from we
No time for moping around, are you kidding?
And no time for negative vibes, cause I’m winning
It’s been a long week, I put in my hardest
Gonna live my life, feels so good to get it right
So I like what I see when I’m looking at me
When I’m walking past the mirror
No stress through the night, at a time in my life
Ain’t worried about if you feel it
Got my head on straight, I got my mind right
I aint gonna let you kill it
You see I wouldn’t change my life, my life’s just…..
Fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, ooooh
Fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, ooooh
Just fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, ooooh
You see I wouldn’t change my life, my life’s just fine
Feels so good, when you’re doing all the things that you want to do
Get the best out of life, treat yourself to something new
Keep your head up high
In yourself, believe in you, believe in me
Having a really good time, I’m not complaining
And I’m a still wear a smile if it raining
I got to enjoy myself regardless
I appreciate life, I’m so glad I got mine
So I like what I see when I’m looking at me
When I’m walking past the mirror
Aint worried about you and what you gonna do
I’m a lady so I must stay classy
Got to keep it hot, keep it together
If I want to get better
You see I wouldn’t change my life, my life’s just…..
Fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, ooooh
Fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, ooooh
Just fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, ooooh
You see I won’t change my life, my life’s just fine
I aint gon’ let nothing get in my way
(I ain't gone let nobody bring me down, no, no, no)
No matter what nobody has to say
(No way, no way, no way)
I ain’t gon’ let nothing get in my way
No matter what nobody has to say
Feels so good, when you’re doing all the things that you want to do
Get the best out of life, treat yourself to something new
It’s a really good thing to say
That I won’t change my life, my life’s just fine
Fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, ooooh
Fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, ooooh
Just fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, ooooh
You see I won’t change my life, my life’s just fine

chorus
Sometimes I really don't wanna have to speak my mind
Cuz, I really don't wanna tell you how I, am digging you so
I can't let go, but it hurts me to my soul
I tell you every little thing that is on my mind, I can't let you know so I hide it inside
All my feelings for you, don't want you to, let it go to your head
I'm into you sometimes, but I can't get you off my mind
So I hit you with the game, always trying to act like you loving doesn't faze me when the
truth is that it amazes me
You know it's a big lie cuz you can see right thru my eyes
How much I wanna hold you, give you all my loving, baby boy let me show
And I really wanna get to know you
I've been there and I've done that and I promise never to get hurt again, never again
You drive me crazy but I promise myself never to get hurt again, never again
I can never, ever let you see me this way, so I take all my feelings and I tuck 'em away
Fronting like I don't want you to hold me tight, so I act like I'm putting up a fight
To get your attention, and make you stay a while longer
So I tell you I don't like it cuz I know that'll make you wanna hold me tighter,
I can't help myself I really like you
I don't deserve it,
I can never get hurt again, never get hurt again, never
I don't deserve it,
Oh, you know we had to do it
Oh, you know we had to do it
Ha-ha

Me, you will go flying away

We'll go flying away
Where the sun is wet and the rainbow's fly
Flying away
Unto another star
Where I'm mines and our hearts will find a way
Baby, here's your only chance
Call me your sunshine
On a rainy day- love is on the way
Don't you worry bout nothing at all
If you really need a friend, it's me you could call
I won't bring you down
We'll fly high above the ground
And me and you
Me, you will go flying away
I'm gon' take you lil' higher
We'll go flying away
Where the sun is wet and the rainbow's fly
Flying away
Unto another star
Where I'm mines and our hearts will find a way
Ooh everything you're dreaming of
You can always find it
Inside me there's love
I won't push and shove
I'll be so gentle with your feelings you'll see
That you really need a woman and the woman is me
I won't play no games
I will always stay the same
Let's go higher baby
Me, you will go flying away
I'm gon' take you lil' higher
We'll go flying away
Where the sun is wet and the rainbow's fly
Flying away
Unto another star
Where I'm mines and our hearts will find a way
I know
That you feel so good
Up above
You see
You and me
So we'd go
We'll climb and we'll climb
And we're gunna get so high
Till we reach the stars
Finally get to Mars
We'll go higher babe
[Musiclude with Ad-libs]

Yes you are (Sometimes you just meet someone and you just completely...)
You're so beautiful
Here we go... come on
Absolutely fantastic, Now you're near
Absolutely fantastic, In my life
Fantastic, All my fears
Fantastic, Beautiful
Fantastic, Come to me
Fantastic, Now I am
Fantastic, Someone watching over me Fantastic
I dreamt that I could paint you with words
But there were no colors bright enough
Black or white enough
Blue or green enough, it didn't mean enough
You are the star that touched the earth
Shine bright for all eyes to see
Radiate and touched me
Now I'm shining like you do
It was dim before I knew you
Bright light for weeping eyes to get used to
Trust who, that's some shit to adjust to
Soon as you relax, they ease back and cold bust you
Love murdered in Brooklyn, sound the alarm
But you still remain calm, my passion is unarmed
I tried to practice my whole life tactics
But in your clutch and your touch, my armor just collapses
Sun's bliss breeds obliviousness
So recollect sweet breath still wet on my lips
My prayer's this: Go protect my beloved and keep her covered
From the valley to the summer like the land undiscovered
(like the stars)
Beautiful, now you're near in my life all my fear
Beautiful, come to me, now I am, someone watching over me
Like the stars outnumbered, you are so beautiful
I do all my best so I could be true to you
Ain't nothing in this word that I wouldn't do for you
?? everything usual
Like the stars outnumbered, you are so beautiful
Where I stand, understand who I am, that makes me a man
You know what, they say that beauty's in the eye of the beholder
So I use my third, and now I love the silent like a boulder
Want to be with you as I get older
And that's my word, sure as I stand on my ancestors' shoulders
You see through my drama and my world like a stage
Not the same years but living in the same age
Just the quality, not the quantity
Fllow me, definitely
Far from probably, got to be
You and me, beautifully, thick like pieces of the man I used to be
Now I'm back cause of what you do to me
You like my reflection, better half to my whole
Like lyrics to the beat, you the matre for my soul
The breath for my life, my sister and my lover
Used to have cold feet, now you the one under my covers
I ignore your aura but it grabbed me by the hand
Like the moon pulled the tide and the tide pulled the sand
Go ahead, Mary, baby, sing your song
OOh, so beautiful
That dream that it would be so beautiful
I wanna say that I love you
All the love you give, all the love you give to me
All my days and nights were lonely
And it's so beautiful
And now I have a friend that I can talk to, yeah
Boy, you're so beautiful
Because you're fruitful, beautiful
Smart, lovable, huggable, doable like art
Suitable to be part of the cosmos
With my eyes closed, I see you clearly
Combined lifetimes with like minds, your lovelight shines
Bright the apple of my eyesight
The tender kiss that whets my appetite
My mighty Aphrodite, the flame that ignite me
Your name just excite me
Your eyes so alive they aright me
Cause you are so beautiful
You don't even know the length I would go
To make absolutely sho' you is respected and protected
And never neglected, I hope my prayers is accapted
That you always will be watched over
And never rocked over
And if you need me to, I'll stop over
To check on you, I'd never jet on you
I know a lot of foolish cats that slept on you
But what I'm gonna do is be totally committed
If you need me I'll be hotter than the New York Mennen
With a hundred percentage, from the start to the finish
Cause the vibe you give leave me so replenished
It's a new beginning, this is serious business
Got my heart and soul in it
It's the way that I'm living
Let it be known that I'm devoted, it's always going to prevail
The newly risen, truely living universal for real
It's like that y'all, and ya don't stop
You're the only love I know, Beautiful
You're the only love that knows, Beautiful
You're the reason why I live, Beautiful
You're the reason why I want to give you everything, Beautiful
It's not all about the money
(It's not all about the money).
Cause I love what I'm doing for the people.
(I really love doing my job, I really do).
Don't know were I would be if this didn't happened.
(You know...)
But I finally made it...
(A lot of us don't graduate from high school. A lot us don't get a chance at being a superstar. A lot us don't get a chance to fufill our dreams and I'm thinking like God! If I wasn't doing this what would I be doing? Probably like braiding hair. Working at a super market. You know? Just husteling two jobs you know what I mean? At least trying to live.)
La, la, la, la
(I lost so much you know? I lost so, so much over the years cause like it's amazing how when you decide that you wanna do the right thing. When I say I "Finally Made It" I don't mean like sucsessfully, or wit money, I mean like...
I'm sprituatily sucessful right now. You know like tryin'...)
Never give up, never give up, never, never give up, never give up...
(I'm on my way to like... A place were I know... I never dreamed were I woud be and thats perfection... I'm striving for that... I don't think no one can ever be perfect, I'm striving again, striving against all things... So what I'm saying to all my fans is... If I can do it... I know ya'll can do it too...)
I want you to rescue me.
Take me from this misery.
Put your arms around me bay.
Hold me close, please hear me say.
(Ohh)
You really gotta hold on me.
(You do)
Right here is where I wanna be.

(I just wanna feel the love from both of us)
Feel like a woman. (Now I only wanna do what you tell me to)
(Won't you show and prove)
Feel like a woman.
If you're on your way home, stop and buy me something, ohh.
Boy, buy me a bag.
Or buy me some shoes.
This is a part of me I'm tryna get you used to, ohh.
Boy, buy me diamonds.
Buy me pearls.
Buy me this.
Buy me that.
Make me fall deeper in love with you.
I'm tired of screaming independant.
I wanna start depending on you.
Cause tonight I wanna...
Feel like a woman. (I don't wanna compete)
(I just wanna be the only girl that you need)
Feel like a woman. (Boy, I want you to be everything to me)
(Don't wanna be deceived)
Feel like a woman. (I don't wanna fuss and I don't wanna cuss)

Now I'm holding on baby.
(Your my life)

(Treat me right)

See, we can do this.
(Just be strong)
I'm tryna tell you what a girl really wants.
I want a man to make me feel like a woman, yeah.
Yeah...
Yeah...
Yeah...
I wanna feel like a woman tonight.
You know just what to do, oh baby.
Cause I am yours and you are mines.
And we deserve each other.
I want you to lead the way.
Can I talk to you, baby
When I was a little girl
I didn't have a father
And that's why I'm leaning on you..
When I was a baby
I didn't get a hug from daddy
That's why I need a hug from you..
Ohh, It's not easy and
I thank you for putting up with me
When you don't have a daddy's love
To say that you...
To say that I'm your little girl
(Are his little girl, Oh why didn't you love me)
And give you the love..(I need love yeah yeah yeah)
you really deserve (And i believe I deserve it And that's why
That's why I need, The father in you
(I need the father in you, baby)
That's why I need, (Please don't hurt me please)
The father in you
That's why I need (Oh that's why)
The father in you (Really need you)
That's why I need (Please be true)
The father in you
Oh, things got bad, to the point
Where mommy couldn't hold us down
And that's when it hurt me so much
To see her, To see her cry
(Oh don't cry, momma don't cry momma)
Each and every night
(We're gonna be alright that's what I used to say)
I said that some day
That I would try to take his place
But it was too hard;
It was so hard trying to be a man and a woman
And that's why I need the father in you
That's why I need, (oh I needed)
The father in you, (I put my trust on you)
That's why I need, (Please don't let me domn)
The father in you.
That's why I need,
The father in you (I need the father in you)
That's why I need (Hold my hand)
The father in you
Because we never had one at home
(No No No) As a little girl...
So I understand, why daddy couldn't be there
Cause it's so obvious nobody taught him, how to be father to me
Oh and I'm not sayin this
to reminisce on the past
I'm just saying this to make you understand, That I needed a father
And this is my problem
This is why I couldn't keep no one
This is why I couldn't stay alone
I was so scared alone
Every woman needs a man
And I don't think she understands
That she really needs a father
The father in you, my brother
She really needed the father
The father in you.
When your wife is speaking fellas
Pay attention,Yeah,don't ignore her
You are my everything
You are my everything
You, my everything
Everything, everything, everything
(Vs.1)
It's all because of you
I'm never sad and blue
You've brightened up my days
In your own special way
Whenever you're around
I'm never feeling down
You are my trusted friend
On you I can depend
(Bridge)
You take me away
From the pain
And you bring me paradise
And when there were cloudy
days you brought sunshine in my life
It never occurred
To me the first time I saw your face
I would fall so deep in love
That your love can't be replaced
chorus:
You are my everything (you are my everything)
love so good, so good only you can bring
You are my everything
You are everything
and everything is you
(Vs.2)
My darling only you
Can make my dreams come true
And every night I pray
You'll never go away
I promise I will try
Until the day I die
To treat you like a king
Cause you are my everything
(Bridge)
(Chorus)
You are everything
And everything is you
(Repeat 4x's)
When you're lovin me
Put your lovin arms around me
When you're lovin me
Said I feel so safe I found security
When you're lovin me
Forever I want you home with me
My everything
my every every every everything
(Chorus)
You take me away
The problem is
For many years
I've lived my life
Publicly
So it's hard for me to find a man I trust
I really trust
And everytime I find someone I like
Gotta worry about
If it's really me
That they see
And I thought you were the one, yeah
Deep inside I wish that they could see
That I'm just plain ol' Mary, Mary
I don't have a lot of friends
And sometimes I have to wonder
Is it cash they see when they look at me
'Cause they're lookin' for a ride that's free
So I made the choice to be
Good to those who are good to me
Don't judge me, don't think I'm bitter
For the evil does allow me to see I'm just Mary
I'm just Mary, just Mary, just Mary
I'm just Mary, just Mary, just Mary
I, I, ohhhh
The problem is
For many years
I've lived my life
Publicly
And everytime I find a man
I, I can't trust him
(Day dreamin´ and I´m thinkin´ of you)
(Day dreamin´ and I´m thinkin´ of you)
(Day dreamin´ and I´m thinkin´ of you)
(Day dreamin´ and I´m thinkin´ of you)
(Look at my heart floating away)
He's the kind of guy that would say
Hey baby let's get away let's go some place, huh?
Well I don't care
He's the kind of guy that you give your everything
And trust your heart, share all of your love, till death do you part
I want to be what he wants when he wants it, and whenever he needs it
And when he´s lonesome and feelin´ love starved
I'll be there to feed it
I'm givin' him a little bit for each day
He turns me right on when I hear him say
(Hey baby let's get away, let's go somewhere far
(Baby can we?)
Well I don't care
(Hey baby let's get away, let's go somewhere far
(Baby can we?)
Well I don't care
I wanna be what he wants when he wants it
And whenever he needs it
When it comes to being feelin' loved starved I'll be there to feed it
Lovin him a little bit more each day
It turns me right on when I hear him say
(Hey baby let's get away, let's go somewhere far)
(Baby can we?) Well, I don't care
(Hey baby let's get away, let's go somewhere far)
(Baby can we?) Well, I don´t care
(Day dreamin and I'm thinkin of you)
(Day dreamin and I'm thinkin of you) hoooo
(Day dreamin and I'm thinkin of you)
(Day dreamin and I'm thinkin of you)

(Day dreaming) day dreaming of you

Thinking of you

Day....dreaming
Funk Flex, Big Kap
Mary J, Def Jam, let's go
Confrontation, confrontation
Confrontation, confrontation
Confrontation, confrontation
Confrontation, confrontation
Are you mad because I turned it around?
But if I stayed the same
You would still be running your mouth, oh
You never doubt the Queen of Hip-Hop soul
I never let you down cause I'm on a roll
My new cd is in your store
So pick it up and feel my soul
Everybody wants to know where I've been
Cause living life the way I do seems to be a sin, oh
But that stuff follows me everywhere I go
Get out of hair cause shit is out of control
Don't come too close to cause you never know
Oh, don't you wanna be with me
Can't you see what I've been going through
Cause I wanna be with you
(Baby, don't you wanna be with me?)
Changes I've been going through
Cause I wanna be with you
It's all gone
The love I thought we shared is gone away
Maybe it's better that we didn't stay together
Seems like we've gone through this a thousand times
Maybe I still don't have the answer
Why can't you tell me why we couldn't be together
See I didn't want to ever hold you tight
But still I need love and affection
Was it that hard for you to show me some attention
Tell me baby, did I push you away
Was I coming on to strong for you
Why can't you tell me, tell me what am I supposed to do
I'm makin short term goals, wonder whether foes
just put away the leathers and put ice on the gold
chilly with enough bail money to free a big willy
high stakes, i got more at stake than philly
shoppin sprees, copin three, duece fever i guess its fully loaded,
ah yes,
bouncin in the lex luger, tires smoke like buddha
50 g's to the crap shooter,

chrome socks beamin, through my periphial i see ya schemin
stop dreamin',i leave ya body steamin

A little better than she can

Now I watch you play Columbo, Picasso
Tricks inside colassals, turn you castles to brothels, Uh!
Who you lovin', who you wanna be huggin?
Dippin on ya Ninja Honda with Tanisha and Rhonda, Wha!
You work more body than Jane Fonda,
Physical fitness, Mary Blige be my witness
Under pressure, I lie for ya, die for ya
Cougar by the thigh for ya, right hand high for ya
Because of you, I'm inheritin' trillions,
Buryin' billions, Bentley Coupe's millions
Playin' good samaritan, in the Sheraton
Crack the Don P's and Remy's
You better hurry in
(Won't you tell me who?)

Who's gone love you like I do, huh? What
Who's gone treat you like I do, huh? What

Time on my hands
Since you been away boy
I ain't got no plans
No no no no
And the sound of the rain
Against my windowpane
Is slowly, is slowly drivin' me insane, boy
I'm goin' down
I'm goin' down
Cause you ain't around baby
My whole world's upside down
Sleep don't come easy
Boy please believe me
Since you been gone
Everything's goin' wrong
Why'd you have to say goodbye
Look what you've done to me
I can't stop these tears from fallin' from my eyes
Ooh baby
Oooh baby love
goin' down, goin' down
Mmm ooh I'm goin' down
Ooh I, I...
Ooh, goin' down
Goin' down
Oh, I don't know what to do
If I ever lose you
I'll be goin' down
I said I'll be goin' down
Oh, please forgive me baby
I'm so sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry
What did I do wrong?
I said, what did I do wrong?
Please forgive me baby
And come on home
People tell me my life was predestined.
From my life others shall learn a lesson.
Want a leader with the world on my shoulder
Age is young but my mind is much older.
Living up to everyone's expectations
condemned me to a world of damnation.
I gotta clear these voices from my head,
all these opinionated noises.
Listen to the voice of my creator,
opens doors to a path much greater;
on this path, the days draw nearer
when I can be happy, finally happy.
Searching for my destiny,
I search for what makes me happy,
lost in what others thought of me.
I've gotta be happy, finally happy.
Searching for my destiny,
search for what makes me happy,
lost in what others thought of me.
I've gotta be happy, finally happy.
Time to broaden my horizons,
come out from the dark and open up my eyes and
start to define my destiny,
experience what life can really be.
No longer concerned with your opinion,
over my life I have dominion.
I'm stronger now than before.
I'm sure I can be so much more.
Not what you thought I would be,
cause I'm gonna be happy, yeah,
I'm gonna be happy,
finally, you see. . .
Searching for my destiny,
I search for what makes me happy,
lost in what others thought of me.
I've gotta be happy, finally happy.
Searching for my destiny,
search for what makes me happy,
lost in what others thought of me.
I've gotta be happy, finally happy.
Searching for what makes me me.
I gotta be so happy.
See, I gotta please me and me first.
How can I love you,
and anyone for that meaning,
if I don't know who I am?
if I don't know where I stand?
Now I'm gonna be happy;
Chorus: Mary J. Blige
You're all, I need
to get by, ahhhhh
You're all, I need
to get by, ahhhhh
(Background sample: Notorious B.I.G.)
[Lie together, cry together, I swear to God I hope we fuckin' die together]
Shorty I'm there for you anytime you need me
For real girl, it's me in your world, believe me
Nuttin make a man feel better than a woman
Queen with a crown that be down for whatever
There are few things that's forever, my lady
We can make war or make babies
Back when I was nothin
You made a brother feel like he was somethin
That's why I'm with you to this day boo no frontin
Even when the skies were gray
You would rub me on my back and say "Baby it'll be okay"
Now that's real to a brother like me baby
Never ever give my booty away and keep it tight aight
And I'ma walk these dogs so we can live
In a phat-ass crib with thousands of kids
Word life you don't need a ring to be my wife
Just be there for me and I'ma make sure we
Be livin in the effin lap of luxury
I'm realizing that you didn't have to funk wit me
But you did, now I'm going all out kid
And I got mad love to give, you my nigga
(Chorus) 2X's
Mary J. Blige
Like sweet morning dew
I took one look at you
And it was plain to see
You were my destiny
With you I'll spend my time
I'll dedicate my life
I'll sacrifice for you
Dedicate my life for you
I got a love jonz for your body and your skin tone
Five minutes alone I'm already on the bone
Plus I love the fact you got a mind of your own
No need to shop around you got the good stuff at home
Even if I'm locked up North you in the world
Wrapped in three-fourths of cloth never showin your stuff off, boo
It be true me for you that's how it is
I be your Noah, you be my Wiz
I'm your Mister, you my Mrs. with hugs and kisses
Valentine cards and birthday wishes? Please
Be on another level of planning, of understanding
the bond between man and woman, and child
The highest elevation, cuz we above
All that romance crap, just show your love
(Repeat chorus till fade)
Ooh, so beautiful you are. Yes! Yes! Oh...
You're so beautiful, now, you're near in my life
all my fears, Beautiful, come to me
now and again, someone watchin' over me.
All my days and nights,
so lonely till you came into my life.
You came and brought my life back to me
'cause I was dyin' deep inside
Boy, you brought the light
when my life was so dark.
You took the fight and made it your own.
I really love you.
No other love can measure up
to the love that you give to me
and with all this love comes trust
Yeah, good, good love since you came to my life!
You're so beautiful, now, you're near in my life
all my fears, Beautiful, come to me
now and again, someone watchin' over me.
I opened up my arms to greet you
With unconditional love.
Tender, sweet is he that helps me
Leave my problems all behind.
Baby, come to me,
You know that I will set you free.
I promise it will be
An experience for you and me.
Let me take you to a place
Where there is understanding,
Where love flows unselfishly
And never, ever demanding.
You're so beautiful
Since you came into my life...
You're so beautiful, now, you're near in my life
all my fears, Beautiful, come to me
Someday at Christmas
Men won't be boys
Playing with bombs
Like kids play with toys
One warm December
All hearts will see
A world where men are free
Someday at Christmas
They'll be no wars
When we have learned
What Christmas is for
When we have learned
What life's really worth
They'll be peace on Earth
Someday all are dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where men are free
Maybe not in time for you and me
But someday at Christmas time
Someday at Christmas
We'll see a land
With no hungry children
And no empty hands
One happy morning
People will share
A world where people care
Someday at Christmas
They'll be no more tears
Where all men are equal
And no man has fears
One shinning morning
We're on our way from today
But Someday at Christmas time
Someday all are dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where men are free
Maybe not in time for you and me
But someday at Christmas time
Someday at Christmas
Men will not care
Hate will be gone
And love will prevail
Someday a new world that we can start
With hope in every heart
Someday all are dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where men are free
Maybe not in time for you and me
DMX rap:
Now there's two ways we can do this
Keep it real or front
I know you got what I need and I got what you want
And the hunt for soulmates is all over for us
We could go away where nobody would know it was us
Leave behind all the fuss, the studios, the pictures
No autographs, just laughs when I'm wit ya
I know what it's like when they know you now
But bark at your dog baby, and I'll hold you down
Time and time and time again
I knew that our love had to end
But now it's gone so very far
That I can make a brand new start
I thought that we were meant to be
Be one big family
But I was weak and loved you still
No matter what you did, I could forgive
Chorus:
All I need is sincerity
All I need is sincerity
Thinking 'bout you all the time
Never seemed to cross my mind
How you could take the time to kill
Everything our love had built
I never knew how you could hide
Everytime you told a lie
But now I know why you're so cold
But I don't understand
Now that you set me free
I truly think that we
Could find love separately
I need sincerity
One thing, I'm not as weak
I'll always stand alone
But my mind is not made of stone
So I'll go on
Chorus:
All I need is sincerity
All I need is sincerity
Nas rap:
Chipped tooth Don
Nasty, blue ice timbs on
Screw it face, half moon part, my tattoos dark
On a scale of tough criminals, nothin' to call me
I'm a rare individual, young and I'm bossy
Guess it come from a rough life, cuffed at night
Lettin' off hot lead that bust from iron pipes
I'm the type that have to shed blood
Pray to the ghost of dead thugs, dead blocks that spread drugs
Fled from the cops 'till when my first joint dropped
I'm still wit my hood, Hollow Point still in the glock
But I've been shitted on by these high class hoes
Even these chickens did me wrong, I was just gettin' on
So I turned cold, givin 'em hard dick and straight to the hole
Like Rod Strickland, it was takin' it's toll
I needed someone I could hold in my darkest hours
A strong couple is a blessing and the heart is the power
Give me someone I could trust, not just a hotty to bone
Does she love Escobar, or love Nasir Jones?
Let me know so I could cop her the stones
What's clear to me, it's sincerity
(Vs.1)
I've been searching for someone, [Yes I have]
But never did I think he would be you
I've been looking high and low, up and down, 'round the world
For my perfect you
I never thought that I
Would have to step to you
About the way you move
But this conversation is due
Let it be known, if we're together
I refuse to be your fool
Trust me, the last thing you wanna do
Is make me loose my cool
(Chorus)
Monday a friend of mine
Tuesday we played a game
Wednsday you went away
Thursday things weren't the same
On Friday you came back
I wanted to kiss you on Saturday
On Sunday we made love
Now what are we gonna do?
[Check this out]
Don't claim your ass is ready when you're not
'Cause if you play me out, I'll blow up your spot
And I don't care where you are or what you say or what you do
And I don't care who ya with
It could be your bitch or even your crew
I never thought that I
Would have to step to you
About the way you move
But this conversation is due
Now let it be known, if we're together
I refuse to be your fool
Trust me, the last thing you wanna do
Is make me loose my cool
(Chorus) Repeat 2x's
Mary talks:
Let me talk to you for a minute
Now I'm sick and tired of being confused
One day you say you're my friend and the next day you my lover
I mean, make up your mind
'Cause I can't keep chillin', I want somebody for me
And if you can't understand that, then be out!
(Chorus) Repeat and adlib until fade
Baby, there's no need to tell ya'
As far as I can clearly recall
My love has been here for you
So you don't have to worry at all
I'll sacrifice my time
I'll make sure you're satisfied
And it's no hard thing to the joy I bring
I wanna give you all my love
Loving you every day
Don't you look no more
Love without a limit
Loving you every day
Don't you look no more
Love without a limit
Baby, I'm in need of your love
And you got that touch
That I need so much
And I am about to explode
Freely, completely, everything you want I'll be
Good love down to the last drop
And I'm not gonna stop
Loving you is all I wanna do
Loving you is all I wanna do
Loving you, said loving you
Is all that I, all that I wanna do
Baby, baby, baby, heeeeey
I'm loving you everyday
Loving you everyday every hour baby
Don't look no more, don't look no more
Loving you everyday
Foxxy rap:
Trackmasters, commisioner
You say you keep me laced in everything
Baguettes his and her's
Matchin' E-class, twin chincilla furs
Everything was real 'til he slipped the swerve,
Swore that the love was real then he bounced with hers
Kept me off speed. Blessed me backwards
Made my heart bleed
Killed me softly, he don't know how much he cost me
If the love is all we need, real queens will survive Now peep the remix with Fox and J. Blige
(Vs.1)
I've got to let you know
That this is the only way
Troubles far and near but have no fear
Cause love is always on the way
Oh, love...
(Chorus)
Love is all we need
To make every little thing complete
Love is all we need
To make every little thing complete
(Vs.2)
If you don't know then I'm telling you
It works with everything you do
Problems everyday but we'll find a way
'Cause love is gonna save the day
(Chorus)
Bridge:
Do you know what we really need
Do you know that love is going to set us free
That is you and me
Do you think we can live this way
Cause I know love is going to save the day
In every way
(Chorus)
Bridge 2:
Love is all we need to make everything better
(love is all we need, love is all we need)
It's the only way to live together
(Repeat bridge2)
(chorus)
Love is all we need (J. Blige come on)
(Vs.1)
Remember all the days when loving you was easy
You used to hold and squeeze me all through the night
I wanna make you feel like you never felt in your life
Just wanna make it alright
So hold on tight
Baby I'm going down
'Cause you're never around
And I'm feeling like I can't let go
Please stay with me
(Baby, please stay with me)
Deep inside I'm slowly dying
And through all my screams and crying
I am holding on with all my might
Why can't you see...
(Chorus)
I'm going down
I'm going down
I'm going down
I'm going down
(Vs.2)
Please tell me why you feel this way inside
I realy need to know so I can ease my mind
I wanna make you see that I'm everything you need
Your every wish, your dream come true, your fantasy
Baby I'm going down
'Cause you're never around
And I'm feeling like I can't let go
Please stay with me
(Baby, please say with me)
Deep inside I'm slowly dying
And through all my screams and crying
I am holding on with all my might
Why can't you see...
(Chorus)
Don't know what's happenin' to me
I'm feelin' realy crazy
Is it because I'm goin' down?
Sometimes I still don't know why
I sit around and I cry
It's all because I'm going down
(Chorus and adlib until fade)
(Chorus)
Everyday it rains
Everyday it rains 'cause things will never be the same
Everyday it rains
Things will never change cause I am not the one to blame
How can I try to make you understand that I'm
Only living a lie
'Cause I have to walk around everyday
With a smile
Everyday
(Chorus)
Waking every morning knowing you're not there
Is the only thing that gets me scared
All I do is think of you and all the love we shared
Everyday
It keeps on rainin in my life
It rains
And every day's the same
Baby you brightened up my life
So realize
Everyday it rains yeah
Things will never be the same
I am not the one to blame
Just because it rains everyday oh
I'm not the one to blame
Believe me when I say that it rains everyday
Got a cloud over me all the time and I
Don't know why it rains
It rains and rains
(Chorus)
Waking every morning knowing you're not there
Is the only thing that gets me scared
I don't know when you're comin home
But I'll be waiting with open arms
Believe me when it rains
I wanna be with you, gotta be with you, need to be with you
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
I wanna be with you, gotta be with you, need to be with you
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Oooo (oh, oh, oh, oh) oooo
Chemistry was crazy from the get-go
Neither one of us knew why
We didn't build nothing overnight
Cuz a love like this takes some time
People swore it off as a phase
Said we can’t see that
Now from top to bottom
They see that we did that (yes)
It’s so true that (yes)
We’ve been through it (yes)
We got real sh** (yes)
See baby we been...
Too strong for too long (and I can’t be without you baby)
And I’ll be waiting up until you get home (cuz I can’t sleep without you baby)
Anybody who’s ever loved, ya know just what I feel
Too hard to fake it, nothing can replace it
Call the radio if you just can’t be without your baby
I got a question for ya
See I already know the answer
But still I wanna ask you
Would you lie? (no)
Make me cry? (no)
Do somethin’ behind my back and then try to cover it up?
Well, neither would I, baby
My love is only your love (yes)
I’ll be faithful (yes)
I’m for real (yes)
And with us you’ll always know the deal
We’ve been...
Too strong for too long (and I can’t be without you baby)
And I’ll be waiting up until you get home (cuz I can’t sleep without you baby)
Anybody who’s ever loved, ya know just what I feel
Too hard to fake it, nothing can replace it
Call the radio if you just can’t be without your baby
See this is real talk
I’m always stay (no matter what)
Good or bad (thick and thin)
Right or wrong (all day everyday)
Now if you’re down on love or don’t believe
This ain’t for you (no, this ain’t for you)
And if you got it deep in your heart
And deep down you know that it’s true (come on, come on, come on)
Well, let me see you put your hands up (hands up)
Fellas tell your lady she’s the one (fellas tell your lady she’s the one, oh)
Put your hands up (hands up)
Ladies let him know he's got your love
Look him right in his eyes and tell him
We’ve been...
Too strong for too long (and I can’t be without you baby)
And I’ll be waiting up until you get home (cuz I can’t sleep without you baby)
Anybody who’s ever loved, ya know just what I feel
Too hard to fake it, nothing can replace it
Call the radio if you just can’t be without your baby
Heeeeeeeeeeeey Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh
Heeeeeeeeeeeey Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh
I wanna be with you, gotta be with you, need to be with you
I wanna be with you, gotta be with you, need to be with you
I wanna be with you, gotta be with you, need to be with you
I wanna be with you, gotta be with you, need to be with you
Intro:
Yeah, ohh yeah, this one goes out,
to all the families that went through the struggle,
yeah, from the heart, it was from the heart, everything was real
yo, dwelling in the past, flash back when I was young
who ever thought that I would have a beby girl and 3 sons
I'm going through this difficult stage I find it hard
to believe why my old earth had so many seeds
but she's an old woman and do to me I respect that
I saw life for what its really worth and took a step back
family ain't family no more, we used to play ball
eggs after school, eat gritz cause we were poor
grab the plyers for the channel, fix the hanger on the T.V.
rockin each others pants to school wasn't easy
we survived winters snauty nose with no coats
we kept it real but the older brother still had a joke
sadly daddy left me at the age of six
I didn't know nutin' but mommy neatly packed his shit
she cried, and grandma held the family down
I guess mommy wasn't strong enough, she just went straight down
check it, 15 of us in a three bedroom apartment
roaches everywhere causons and aunts were there.
4 in the bed, 2 at the foot, 2 at the head
I didn't like to sleep with Jon-Jon, he peed the bed
pluckin roaches out the cereal box
we shared the epoon, watchin saturday cartoons
sugar water was our thing, everymeal was no thrill
in the summer school lunch held us down like steel
and there was days I had to go to Shea's house with a note
"Shea and Gloria can I borrow some food I'm dead broke"
so embarrasin I couldn't stand to knock on the door
my friends might be laughin, I spent stamps in stores
mommy where's the toilet paper, use the newspaper
look Ms. Rose bought us a couch, shes the neighbor
2 brothers who must led this defeat kiiled me
but I remember this mom's would lick her finger tips
to wipe the cold out of my eye before school wit her spit
case worker had her runnin back for face to face
I caught a case worker, trying to throw us out our place.
sometimes I'm lookin back and analyze the sky,
goodnight
outro
sometime I'm lookin back and analyze the sky
let myself rock wasn't meant to be so hard
Mary J. Blige: (Chorus)
All that I got is you
And I'm so thankful I made it through
(3x)
I sit and think about all the times we did without rain
I always said I woudn't cry, when I saw tears in your eyes
I understand that daddy's not here know,
but some way or some how, I will always be around
All the things that I did from yesterday
oh from drugs to being bad
being down and out and I love you always, oh oh
1 - A dream
A simple fantasy
That I
Wish was reality
That you
Come knocking at my door
And we
Relive this dream once more
Last night I dreamed
That you were here with me
And we were in each other's arms
It was oh so heavenly
You held me close to you
And whispered in my ear
Let's spend the night together
Sharing love beyond the bed
As we danced to the melody
We had so much to share
And the music stopped
In a flash I was all alone
It was just a dream
Haunting me once again
Repeat 1
The day you left
You said you would return
Just when you couldn't promise
That you needed some time alone
You said you'd love me
And someday our love would be
I couldn't understand it
I thought we were both happy
As we danced to the melody
We had so much to share
Then the music stopped
In a flash
I was all alone
It was just a dream
Haunting me once again, oh
Repeat 1
Slow down baby. The lovin' ain't goin' nowhere.
Don't rush baby. The lovin' ain't goin' nowhere
Slow down
Don't rush baby. The lovin' ain't goin' nowhere
Slow down
When we make love
Baby all we got to do is take our time
And get it, get it right in the groove
Now there's no need for us to be
In a rush so slow it down
Slow it down and get it right.
Now baby it's understood
When the lovin' is feeling good
So let's just take our time and make it last
Now I got a feelin' baby
That tonight could be the night
Don't rush it. Don't fight it.
If you got a notion
Baby please let it be slow motion
Slow it down baby. Keep it right there. Keep it right there.
Now baby it's understood
When the lovin' is feelin good
Ohhhh, oh oh oh oh
Baby
Whatcha gonna do
Baby
My, my, my love
I was a fool to let you in
Knowing you would play with my heart
But that was so long ago that I
Thought we could make a new start
You left me broken hearted
From the day your love departed
Now that love you found with someone new is gone
And so you wanna come back
Whatcha gonna do without my love
My love
Whatcha gonna do without my love
Whatcha gonna do without my love
My love
Whatcha gonna do
Now that my love has gone away from you
Sweet memories of yesterday
When it all seemed so right
I was loving you, kissing you, holding you tight
I wish you know that a woman
That you learn to leave today
And it's a shame that you wanna come back now baby
My love has gone away
I played the fool for you baby
And you stole away my heart
(Whatcha gonna do)
Now that my love is gone away
(Whatcha gonna do)
Sweet memories of yesterday
(Whatcha gonna do)

What is your master plan
What did you have me do
Confusion in my mind
Been hurt a thousand times
Now I know you're not true
(That's why I can't be with you)
You don't know what it meant to me
Just to make you happy
All this time I've waited
Now our love has faded
Please tell me why it's gone
So my life can go on
I told you once before
I'm walkin out the door

Thinking bout you all the time
Makes me so sad and blue

You said you'd stay with me always
Always
You'd never leave
- Don't you walk, away from me
Cause I don't want to see you leave
Tell me what
What is better than sharing
Sharing love with you
And tell what
What is better than caring
I want to spend my life with you
Oh do you know
Do you know how I'm feeling
When you're lying next to me
And does it show
Everything that I'm feeling
When you touch me it's real
Don't walk:
When we share
Our love I feel
Like it is so real
Please tell me the deal
I can make you see
What is extasy
Come and go with me
But don't walk away
Oh ooh
I don't wanna see you
Oh, oh, oh
I don't wanna see you
See I'm serious baby
But now it's a little off
But you can't walk away
Know what I'm saying
Cause you can't never lose the love that you never had
And if the nigga never did love you
Then you ain't lost nothing
First of all, but if I love somebody
(Vs.1)
While all the time that I was loving you
You were busy loving yourself
I would stop breathing if you told me to
Now you're busy loving someone else
Eleven years out of my life
Besides the kids I have nothing to show
Wasted my years a fool of a wife
I shoulda have left your ass a long time ago
(Chorus)
Well I'm not gon cry,
I'm not gon cry,
I'm not gon shed no tears
No, I'm not gon cry,
it's not the time
cuz you're not worth my tears
Well I'm not gon cry,
I'm not gon cry,
I'm not gon shed no tears
No, I'm not gon cry,
it's not the time,
cuz you're not worth my tears
(Vs.2)
I was your lover and your secretary
Working every day of the week
Was at the job when no one else was there
Helping you get on your feet
Eleven years of sacrifice
And you can leave at the drop of a dime
Swallowed my fears, stood by your side
I shoulda left your ass a thousand times
(Chorus)
I know there are no guarantees
In love you take your chances
But somehow it seems unfair to me
Look at the circumstances
Through sickness and health 'till death do us part
Those were the words that we said from our hearts
So now when you say that you're leaving me
I don't get that part
(Repeat Vs.2)
(Chorus)
I'm not in love
It's just some kind of thing I'm goin thru
Goin' thru, goin' thru
And it's not infatuation
Ain't nothin goin on between me and you
Me and you, me and you
But I dream about it every night, baby
Wantin you here with me
Makin love to me
And oh...
I'm missin you like crazy
Body and soul is achin'
I'm out of control
Missing you so
I'm missing you
Missing you
I'm missing you
Missing you
I'm missing you
I'm not in love, oh no no no
And that's what I just keep tellin' myself
Over and over again
And I'm not the least bit amused by it baby
Yet still I don't wanna be with nobody else
No no no
And I dream about you all the time
Touchin' and kissin' me
And makin love to me
And oh...
God knows I'm tryin to keep you out of my head
I ain't tryin to love no one
I ain't tryin to get hurt again, no
But there's something that just gutts in my skin
And all I know is I can't let go
And it's on, and it's on,
and it's on, and it's on,
And it's on tonight
It's about time that we met
And it's about time a love I won't forget
For so long I've waited for the chance
To be with you
And to lie with you baby
In my dreams I take you by the hand
In our house on the beach
Making love on jet black sand
Baby finally the time
Has come for us to share
The joy that we will need
And nothing can compare
I waited all my life
Boy for you to come along
And make that joyful sacrifice
Two kids, a dog, and a home
Is like a dream come to life
When I look into your dazing eyes
All my life I've waited
To get next to you
You, baby you
And every night I've prayed
Your love would come my wayAnd finally the time
Quasar, and MJB's crazy, Loco
It's 2-0-0-0
Even they don't know
It don't show
Women they wanna grind in my path
Find a fo' do'
It's only a ninety three
Still they be (Where?)
Behind the meat (Yo)
I needed two points to swing (Then I)
Shot a three, got nigga's hot at me (Word)
But they can't do nada, B (Uh uh)
I'm more economy than the brand new odessey
Hey yo, Carter got it beat, these times and probably
Won't be around for nigga's to finish playing Monopoly
Yo, it's the dolla's B, that got me writin' apologies
The bill collectors, plead the fifth or cop a plea
When they follow me, I'm duckin' like somebody shot at me
If I had my way (I'd hit the highway)
Life would be just fine (Party on Friday)
But the world's too much (It's too much, too much)
And it makes me cry (Feel like I had enough)
Sometimes I feel like leaving (I'm on my way)
But I must be wise (Think twice)
Because time (Come on, sing it wit' me now)
Is not on our side
(Don't you know that time's not on our side)
Because time is not on our side
The end is coming, stop your running
I'm telling you this is the truth
You can talk about what you read about
Everything is on the news
People nowadays so shady
Now what is wrong with them
Something cast a spell up on their minds
And they always wanna condemn
If I had my way (Uh huh)
Life would be just fine (Life would be fine)
But the world's too much (Too much, too much)
And it makes me cry
Sometimes I feel like leaving (It's gotta be gone)
But I must be wise (Mary Jane cries)
Because time (Come on, sing it wit' me now)
Is not on our side
(Don't you know that time is not on our side)
Because time is not on our side
While you're judging me, you should look around
And you'll see how people goin' down
Some of them are killed over a dime
Now tell me do we really have time
To continue with this madness
Cuz I'm sick and tired of it
Trying to crush my world with jealousy
And I'm about to catch a fit
If I had my way (I'd hit the highway)
Life would be just fine (Party on Friday)
But the world's too much (It's too much, too much)
And it makes me cry (Feel like I had enough)
Sometimes I feel like leaving (I'm on my way)
But I must be wise (Yo, think twice)
Because time (Sing it wit' me now)
Is not on our side (Uh huh, yup yup)
(Don't you know that time's not on our side)
Because time (Yo, time is running out)
Is not on our side (On our side)
You're deceiving (You can tell lies)
What's the meaning (Then they can falsefy)
If you're retrieving (You're ready for the don)
The enemy's greeting (You know it, ya'all can die)
You all are leaving (Whut) someday but (Whut)
They don't know how (Whut) we are going (Uh uh)
Please believe me (Whut) when I tell you (Whut)
That time is (Whut) not really on our side
Yo, yo, aight
We gon' talk about life for a minute
How many nigga's out here do dirt but won't admit it, huh?
How many nigga's know shorty young, but still hit it
Same nigga's that'll snatch your chains off and run wit' it
Yellin' Mary J, more cash than Mary K.
It rains every day, rock jewels the heavy way
Shorty's wanna talk to the guard, but anyways
All the stress that I got in my life, that make me say
If I had my way
Life would be just fine
But the world's too much
And it makes me cry
Sometimes I feel like leaving
But I must be wise
Because time
Is not on our side
(Don't you know that time is not on our side)
Because time is not on our side
Repeat above while:
How can you hurt the children
They mean so much to us
They'll soon be leaders
And they will lead us to the rightous path
Time on my hands
Since you been away boy
I ain't got no plans
No no no no
And the sound of the rain
Against my windowpane
Is slowly, is slowly drivin' me insane, boy
Chorus:
I'm goin' down
I'm goin' down
Cause you ain't around baby
My whole world's upside down
Sleep don't come easy
Boy please believe me
Since you been gone
Everything's goin' wrong
Why'd you have to say goodbye
Look what you've done to me
I can't stop these tears from fallin' from my eyes
Ooh baby
Chorus
Oooh baby love
goin' down, goin' down
Mmm ooh I'm goin' down
Ooh I, I...
Chorus
Ooh, goin' down
Goin' down
Oh, I don't know what to do
If I ever lose you
I'll be goin' down
I said I'll be goin' down
Oh, please forgive me baby
I'm so sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry
What did I do wrong?
I said, what did I do wrong?
Please forgive me baby
And come on home
Goin' down, goin' down, goin' down
Heh yeah
Rule baby, heh

Know in your heart, that we are free
Free to believe, whatever we feel
So feel somethin real, baby
In the meantime, what do you do
When there's no one left but you
And you're alone
How do you feel when the one you love
Doesn't, doesn't seem real
Do you run, or do you try to heal
The hurt inside
But oh, but in the meantime
- I have found within myself
Everything I need to get by
Cuz I
Know what to do in the meantime
Continue to love you
There is no need for you to fear
For I am here, I'll be right here
All of your life
And I am willing and able to pull you
Pull you through, through the storm
That might await you on the outside
And all of your fears and your doubts will no longer exist
Because God has granted you the greatest wage
And He's done the same for me
Cuz right now, you're all I need
In the meantime what do you do
When there is no one, love but you
And you're alone, oh (But in the meantime)
In the meantime, oh (But in the meantime)
What do you do in the meantime (But in the meantime)
There is no need for you to have no fear (But in the meantime)
For I am here (But in the meantime)
But in the meantime (But in the meantime)
But in the meantime (But in the meantime)
Oh I'm willing and I'm able (But in the meantime)
To pull you through the storm
Pull you through the storm (But in the meantime)
In the mean (But in the meantime)
Well it was like a party
But the kids seem to scatter off
(Kids seem to scatter off)
You told me all those lies
That I said you did
And I can't give one more chance
But I betcha I will show you
That the pick of a letter comes a little thicker
And I said it would
And it's been coming for a long time
Let's get you ready for another, another lifetime
Our position is just to see what you can do
Become a victim on the verge, I'll kick your ass now
This is serious so you'll know what to do
You been wasting time
Are you out of your mind
Well you show me some love
With intentions high
You probably need a place to count your cash
(Need a place to count your cash)
You said you're sorry so many times
And I'm sorry that you ever did
Well you can take your life of love
And stick it up in your main frame
Cause there'll be no more second chances
No more hot romances
And I like it this way
So let me break it down for you
Better stop playin me
Start lovin me
I ain't the same woman giving love for free
All my life sittin, thinkin how to please you
Been flyin so long now, my screws are loose
Now it's time to move
Cause I'm sick and tired of playin the fool
Cause you play to lose
And I play to win
Tried not tosin
Treid to be your friend
Like every other girl
Never sexed your friends
But it's over now
And you saying, "How?"
I found something new
That worth the while
Instead of meesin with a bump cat poster child
But I'm focused now
People saying, "Wow!"
In place of a frown on my face, a smile
You must be out yo mind
I have no time to get you ready for a love of a liftime
You been wasting time
Are you out of your mind
Uh, uh-huh
Yeah somebody always walking out
Whether it be me or you
But before you go let me lay it on you
Say they call me a Capricorn
And that mean that no man in the world
Can let go of this Capricorn
See you know why?
I got something for your mind, your body
Your soul, your intellect
Whatever you choose
Check me out
I'm surprised to see your suitcase at the door
Remember the good times, don't you want some more
It's not a perfect love, but I'll defend it
Cause I believe that's what God intended now
We got love too good to throw away
It's not over between you and me
It's not over, don't want to be free, oh
What has been joined by God, by God
Let no man put asunder
Oh can't throw it away
Can't throw it away, no, no, no, no
I can hear those words spoken, understood
Making bonds through love, if times are bad or good
I'm convinced that what is meant to be will be
Even the stars declare that you belong to me
And we got love too good to throw away
It's not over between you and me
It's not over, don't want to be free, and
What has been joined by God, by God
Let no man put asunder
Oh can't throw it away
Can't throw it away, can't throw it away, no
Hmmm
It's not over between you and me
(Oh it's not over)
It's not over, don't want to be free
It's not over between you and me
(It's not over)
It's not over, don't want to be free
It's not over between you and me
It's not over, don't want to be free
It's not over between you and me
(Hey)
It's not over, don't want to be free
Oh, hmm-hmm, oh
See I just been trying to tell you that
(It's not over)
All that listening to your friends you're doing
They laughing at you right now
Yes they are, yes they are
(It's not over)
But you still wanna walk out
Why you wanna leave me right now?
All you wanna do is scream and shout
All night long, all night long
(It's not over)
But I still think it ain't over
Cause you'll be calling back
We got love too good to throw away
Let no man put asunder
We got love too good to throw away
Take my hand
Lead me to another place
I never been
I wanna be released
Set me free
I'm not talking bout letting me go
But I'm just talking bout pulling me close
To where our bodies are becoming as one
Turn off the lights cause boy we've just begun
Feel like making love
All through the night
All through the night
Come hold me tight
Feel like making love
All through the night
All through the night
Come hold me tight
Feel like making love
All through the night
All through the night
Come hold me tight
Feel like making love
All through the night
All through the night
Come hold me tight
Here I am
I'm all yours for tonight
But every night
It could be
You and I
For a lifetime
Could have stayed all to myself
And played the game like everybody else
But boy I want you and that's no lie
Because you keep me so satisfied
Feel like making love
All through the night
All through the night
Come hold me tight
Feel like making love
All through the night
All through the night
Come hold me tight

It would be nice if you spend the night

Why don't we take it nice and slow
No more invisible speechless, deaf and bling child
With neglected pleasures being addicted to denial
Floating through time, gravitating towards a warm arm
With an appetite for the emptiness that promises no harm
No more uncontrollable eruptions of emotional depression
A primal S.O.S. from the barren prison of selfless expression
that only the guilty with the innocent
Souls-know buried in social scar tissue of defective ego
No more relentless sifting through bodies seeking self
Settling through competitive combat for what's left on the shelf.
A mad melee of supply and demand driven by gullible pride that
leads to sedating the you that suffocates inside
No more - forever no more - because I've unshut my eyes
And the differences between God's word and Man's Wills was realized
Seeing opposing parallel lives some liquid, other frozen. Let me to never
seek from man what God has chosen.
Then the negative whispering subsided and the panicking ceased
the undercurrent suppression of pent-up terror was released as the
mystery of the unknown manifested pristine clear A positive message
of truth entered my ear
Now, across my face is a brand new smile
With a newly revealed meaning of a "Destine Child"
A message of hope is being released from my Heart
And I am overwhelmed with dedication to do my part
All I ever wanted was to be as I once was - Unbounded
Somehow it got all twisted and before long sounded
As though life was continuous connive-thrive-drive
Choking out the simple joy of just being alive
Now I am filled with love and I sing a love song
A song for yesterday, today, tomorrow, and beyond
My new prayer is - Thank You God for setting Me Free
And Thank You God - For Giving Me back Me

Come on baby, just party with me
Let loose and set your body free
Leave your situations out the door

Tired of living like my days are bad
When I open up my eyes, I'm glad
And I can't complain 'bout yesterday
Cuz today's a brand new day
Comb my hair and though some like it wrong
Jump in my ride because it's on
And I'm gone, I'm gone
- I woke up this morning
Opened up my eyes and prayed, Lord
Cuz it's a beautiful day
No matter what nobody say
Even though it's cloudy
I can see the sun rays
Oh, cuz it's a beautiful day
No matter what nobody say
Cuz it's a beautiful day, a beautiful day
Life just can't get no better than this
Mother Nature's given us a kiss
Cuz tomorrow I'm glad I didn't miss
Let's take advantage of days like this
When the night time does finally hit
There'll be no reason for guns
It'll be fun, fun, fun, fun
Everything is good because I'm living and I'm healthy
I'm not too concerned 'bout being poor or being wealthy
I feel really good about this blessing given to me
Nothing in this world could ever take all my joy from me
It's beautiful, it's beautiful
It's beautiful, it's beautiful
It's beautiful
A beautiful day, a beautiful day
A beautiful day, a beautiful day
I don't have a complain in the world
I am doing so good
Without, without, without the money
Without, without, without the stress
I hope that you've been thinking about me
I hope that you have been thinking of me too
The way that I have been thinking of you
I hope that you have been thinking of me too
The way that I have been thinking of you
Pick up the phone to call you
But I hung up cause I'm so afraid
Afraid of rejection
Or another woman in your face
Hopin' all day that you would call me
And that you're thinkin' of me too
Well in my case with the game of love
If I played I would probably lose
I hope that you have been thinking of me too
The way that I have been thinking of you
I hope that you have been thinking of me too
The way that I have been thinking of you
I hope that you're thinkin' of me
And I pray every night you love me
I don't ever want what we have to end
And I'll always be your friend
Don't you feel me calling from afar
If you don't know I've been there from the start
As sure as my name is what it is
You'll always have a place in my heart
I hope that you have been thinking of me too
The way that I have been thinking of you
I hope that you have been thinking of me too
The way that I have been thinking of you
Ooh, ooh, ooh....
I hope that you have been thinking of me
The way that I have been thinking of you
When I pray every night
That it's me in your dreams when your sleepin'
I really hope that I'm the that you're thinking about
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
I hope that you have been thinking of me too (I hope that, I hope that you've been thinkin')
The way that I have been thinking of you (All the time, can't get you off my mind baby)
I hope that you have been thinking of me too
The way that I have been thinking of you
See I hope that it's you
And I hope that you are baby
Thinking of me too
Ooh, yeah, yeah...
See I hope that you are
Ooh, you're thinking of me
I need for you to think about me
Like I think about you baby
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
I hope that it's you
Oooh...
I'm the only woman you need
I'm the only woman you need
Only one you need take me
Don't be a fool like you have me
If you want to be happy
I'm the only woman you need
All you have to do is trust me
Never have to be sad again
Cause I'll always be your friend
I gave my heart to you
What more can I do
To show you how much I care
About you and all the little things you do
But see all I ask is that you make me feel like
I'm somebody
All day, all day, everyday, give your lovin' away
whoa...
Baby, can't you see
If we should part
That all my days of loving you
You know they weren't that hard
That's why I'm saying I gotta be strong
I know that I was wrong
For all that carryin' on
But are you gonna hold this
Against me for life
You know all I wanted to do is be your wife
And make you happy
If you really don't want me (want me)
I wish you'd let me know
And I will go so far away
I can not stay
If you don't want me to, I can
Be a fool for you no more (I don't think so)
You see I tried
Tried to please you
The best way I know how
And I never decieved you
If only we could trust each other
Stop thinking foolish things
I can't deal with the fact that
You don't want me around
Why you wanna see me down?
It's so unusual
That you don't love me no more
Why you wanna close the door?
I spent all my days and all my nights with you
Just tell me what am I gonna do without you
If loving you is so right
Tell me how I'll make it through the night
You know that I don't ever want to leave you
(I wanna be with you)
I just wanna be with you
Nothing else I'd rather do
(I wanna be with you)
I want to spend my life with you
Let's take this time to think about
what was said and done
Now tell me why you had to run
Away from me
Now I can't sleep at night
Why we had to fight
Everyday from you I look and I see something new
Now tell me what I got to do to get this through to you
It's the little things you do for me
That makes me very happy
You know that I don't wanna leave you
It seams like each and ever time I come around
You don't want me there
And it's beginning to make me so scared
So scared that I might loose you
How can I love somebody else
If I can't love myself enough to know
When it's time,
Time to let go
Sing
All I really want
is to be happy
And to find a love that's mine
It would be so sweet
I ask for the sign
From the sweet Lord above
I know the answer is in front of me
But when you think you're in love
You only see what you wanna see
And all I see is me for you
And you for me
Oh I cannot hide the way I feel inside
(No I don't know why)
I don't know why but every day I wanna cry
(Every day I wanna cry)
If I give you one more try
To there rules, will you abide
And if I mean anything to you
Would it make everything all right
I just wanna be so, so, happy
But the answer lies in me
I do believe
That we can be happy
I said I wanna be happy, yeah
Life is too short
To be tryin to play some games
Now take some time and think about
If it's really worth losing me
Why must it be this way
Why do you have to play with my mind
All the time
Help me sing it
All I really want is for me to be happy
Ohhh, just help me sing it
All I really want is for me to be happy
Yeahhhhhhh
All I really want is for me to be happy
Oh, you know I wanna be happy, yeah, yeah
I don't wanna have to worry about nothin no more
You know sometimes
There come a time in your life
When you love something
You have to let it go
And even though
You might feel there's still something there
You have to wake up
Stop living in a dream
Cause it's over now
You got to think about you
I have always wondered why
Why I can't live without you babe
And I'm longing to be your lady
I understand that you are leaving
Please don't leave here without me, babe
Cause I think I might go insane
- Cause everybody needs someone to love
And I know that it's true
And I know that it's you
I don't understand
Why you can't be my man
So I've gotta wake up
Stop living in a dream
Yes I've gotta wake up
Cause I can't lose the love I never had
Yeah I've gotta wake up
As painful as it seems
Yes I better wake up
I can not lose a love I never had
Every time I close my eyes
I see visions of you and I
Sharing love of a special kind, oh
I got to laugh to keep from crying, yeah
To hide all the pain inside
Cause I can't get you off my mind
Oh, it made me realize
Honey, I don't wanna live a lie
But you don't know how hard I try
What do I have to lose?
Oh I think a little bit more than you
And I doubt you will see things
Clearer than me, before it's too late
Oh, ya hurt me so bad
I I I got to wake up
Break it down, break it down
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
All the times I've cried
It made me realize
That I was only living a lie
But you don't know how hard I tried
To make sure you were satisfied yeah
Cause I thought you were only mine
And I doubt if you will see things clearly
Before it's too late, too late, too late
I don't understand why you can't be my man
Oh everybody needs somebody to love
Everybody needs somebody yeah
Oh, do do do
Baby, baby, baby I can't live without you
And I doubt that you will see things clearly
Before it's too late, yeah
Oh you hurt me so, you hurt me so
La la la, la la la
I can't lose, I can't lose
I can not lose, I can not lose
Oh oh oh
I can't lose a love I never had
I can't believe
After all this time
I'm in love with a man
Who could never be mine
And just to think
I'd believe one day you'd really leave
Like you said you would
Cause you don't love her
But your little girl really needs you, oh
- Christmas you weren't with me
New Year's Eve you were not around
Valentine's came and went
Makes me wonder where your time was spent
Fireworks on the Fourth of July
Thanksgiving was another lie
Your family has never met me
And you've never met mine, no happy holiday
No happy holiday
I got to let go of this feeling
Being with you deprives me of true love, true love
I can't fathom living this life
Without being number one
This is finally goodbye
I pray to God you live a happy life
Cause loving you just ain't right
Make her your wife
I wish I had known
The situation from the start
Now it's complicated
Because I gave you my heart
Honestly I held on for dear life
For my ego, my pride
But what goes around, comes around
But maybe next time I'll be on the other side
Hmm, oh, yeah, oh
Last time dittle didi, di
You don't do, do, do, dum
Lately I've got this funny feeling
Something don't feel the same
But he's telling me I'm the one to blame
Yes I know that he still gives me good loving
But when he's deep inside
There's somebody else on his mind
- [Aretha] Don't waste your time
But it gets so hard to know
Just walk away
You say that I gotta let go
Seen it a millions times before
You shouldn't take his stuff no more
Can't waste my time
Girl, it's not hard to know
Should walk away
Oh, you've gotta let him go
Seen it a millions times before
Shouldn't take his ish no more
Sister girl, sister girl
It's much deeper than what you're thinking
When something don't feel the same
Hey you better believe his love has change
(And I have been telling you, telling you)
And what you're telling me
(Cuz it's been hurting me, hurting me)
It ain't, ain't any fool can see
He's got a sweetie on the side
Stop making truth out of his lies
What's the point of love
When you got no trust
What's the point of staying
When you seen enough
What's the point of giving
What he don't deserve
He don't deserve it
No you don't deserve it
Oh what's the point of feeling
Like there's nothing inside
What's the point of saying
That you still got your pride
What's the point of giving
What he don't deserve
Oh no, so beautiful
So beautiful
I'd give my flesh for yours
I'd sacrifice everything
You are my door to a new beginning
A lucky charm, potato pie
So sweet you make me cry
I can't deny
The way you make me feel inside, oh
- You are the beautiful one
And I love to hold you until the sun
Goes down on your song
Have mercy on me
I'm crazy 'bout you
Look at all the things your lips make me do
You are my song when there's no music to play
Oh I wanna marry someone like you someday
- Oh beautiful one, don't you ever go
Don't you ever go, don't you ever go
Don't you ever go
Can't you hear the bells ringing
Doves flying in the air
With this ring I promise to always be right there
Through the good and the bad times forever yours
I will remain, with your love baby in my life
You know we can stop the rain, yeah
Me baby, with me baby
Oh baby yeah
Don't you, don't you
Don't, don't, don't
Don't, don't you leave, no, oh
Yeah, oh don't go
So beautiful
You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you
You, you, you, you, you

You came home late last night you smelled just like the scent of her
Not only that but you had lipstick all over your shirt
I'm thinking to myself this man has no respect for me
I knew it all along cause you were talking in your sleep
It's a wrap
Why you go and do me like that
I thought the love was good
But I misunderstood baby
It's a wrap
And I am not surprised
How you could sit right here
And look me in my eyes and tell a lie
Heard you calling her name
In your sleep at night
What are we gonna do
Cause I'm through with you
I heard you calling her name
In your sleep at night
What are we gonna do
Cause I'm through with you
I heard you
What you were saying in your sleep it violated me
No doubt about it but there's nothing left for you and me
Because you're busted and I might as well go on
Boy it's gonna take a long time to make this a happy home
You know it's a wrap
Why you go and do me like that
I thought the love was good
But I misunderstood baby
It's a wrap
And I am not surprised
How you could sit right here
And look me in my eyes
And tell a lie
I heard you
Heard you calling her name
In your sleep at night
What are we gonna do
Cause I'm through with you
I heard you calling her name
In your sleep at night
What are we gonna do
Cause I'm through with you
All you had to say was I don't wanna be with you
Why don't you tell the truth cause I already got the proof
It will never be the same you know it's a crying shame
Cause now I am disgusted cause you are so cold busted
I heard you calling her name
In your sleep at night
What are we gonna do
Cause I'm through with you
I heard you calling her name
In your sleep at night
What are we gonna do
Cause I'm through with you
Heard you calling her name
In your sleep at night
What are we gonna do
Cause I'm through with you
I heard you
Why you go and do me like that
I thought the love was good
But I misunderstood baby
It's a wrap
And I am not surprised
How you could sit right here
Baby don't go
Baby don't go
Baby don't go
Don't leave me, leave me, leave me
Don't go, don't go
Don't leave me, leave me, leave me
I love you so
I've been hurt before
Stay around for a while
Let's work it out
Let's try to make it happen
Don't do the things
That other guys did
To hurt me
They make me cry
Break my heart, oh why?
I know you're a busy man
But you don't understand
How it feels to be alone
When times get hard and
I want to feel your
Sweet and tender touch
That's all I'm askin' baby
Cause I never asked for much
Oh, ohhh
This may be a fantasy
That I dream of baby
Time and time again
I knew that we would be
More than friends
I gave you my heart
And all of my time
But now you're actin shady
Is it all in my mind?
Don't leave, don't leave
Don't leave me alone
I wanna be with you
Oh, oh, oh, Mmm, yeah oh oh oh
I wanna be with you
Yes I do, yes I do
You've got my heart boy (you've got my heart)
You are the only one (Oh, you're the only, only one)
If I can't be with you (if I can't be)
I don't know what to do (I don't know what to do)
You've got my heart
ooh... ohoho...ohoho
Its about the things you say to me in the a.m.
Its about the way you hold me in the a.m.
Something bout a sweet ron de vu in the a.m.
God, I like spendin time with you in the a.m.
Its about six and the sun is on its way up
I'm half asleep,
waiting for your touch to wake me up
i like the way you call me,
the way you whisper peace,
the things you reveal
God, i know you're real,
nothing like the way you make me feel
I have to admit, this is the way to start the day
Captured in love,
Jesus, your love takes me away
I like the way you call me,
the way you whisper peace
the things you reveal
God, I know you're real
Nothing like the way you make me feel
What you do to me
I just can't explain
(I just can't explain)
What it means to me
To hear you call my name
(To hear you call my name)
What a perfect way
For me to start the day
Captured in love,

Too bad baby, yeah
But I gotta face reality
Today you had a visitor
Or should I say an old friend
But wait a minute
That's not where it ends, no
Is there something
That you wanna tell me, hmm
Cause I'm believing what your friends say
About your hidden secrecies
- Your girlfriend
She wasn't disrespectful
In fact, she's a hundred percent sure
And how could I argue with her
Holding a baby with eyes like yours
- She said it's your child
And it really messed me up
How could you deny
Your own flesh and blood
Gotta face reality
There can never be any more us
Won't deny it's hurting me
Yet so precious
She said she never wanted to hurt me
And could I understand, she's afraid and lost
She said a real woman wouldn't do this over the phone
And that you told her about me after the baby was born, oh
Hmm, oh the baby looks just like you
How could you deny your own flesh and blood
Your own child
What kind of man are you?
Chorus: Mary J. Blige
You're all, I need
to get by, ahhhhh
You're all, I need
to get by, ahhhhh
(Background sample: Notorious B.I.G.)
[Lie together, cry together, I swear to God I hope we fuckin' die together]
Shorty I'm there for you anytime you need me
For real girl, it's me in your world, believe me
Nuttin make a man feel better than a woman
Queen with a crown that be down for whatever
There are few things that's forever, my lady
We can make war or make babies
Back when I was nothin
You made a brother feel like he was somethin
That's why I'm with you to this day boo no frontin
Even when the skies were gray
You would rub me on my back and say "Baby it'll be okay"
Now that's real to a brother like me baby
Never ever give my booty away and keep it tight aight
And I'ma walk these dogs so we can live
In a phat-ass crib with thousands of kids
Word life you don't need a ring to be my wife
Just be there for me and I'ma make sure we
Be livin in the effin lap of luxury
I'm realizing that you didn't have to funk wit me
But you did, now I'm going all out kid
And I got mad love to give, you my nigga
(Chorus) 2X's
Mary J. Blige
Like sweet morning dew
I took one look at you
And it was plain to see
You were my destiny
With you I'll spend my time
I'll dedicate my life
I'll sacrifice for you
Dedicate my life for you
I got a love jonz for your body and your skin tone
Five minutes alone I'm already on the bone
Plus I love the fact you got a mind of your own
No need to shop around you got the good stuff at home
Even if I'm locked up North you in the world
Wrapped in three-fourths of cloth never showin your stuff off, boo
It be true me for you that's how it is
I be your Noah, you be my Wiz
I'm your Mister, you my Mrs. with hugs and kisses
Valentine cards and birthday wishes? Please
Be on another level of planning, of understanding
the bond between man and woman, and child
The highest elevation, cuz we above
Oooh you remind me, yeah
You remind me of such sweet memories
I saw you before baby
It's a deja~vu honey
Don't you know that you remind me
I saw you before baby
It's a deja~vu honey
Don't you know that you remind me
You, you remind me of a love that I once knew
Is it a dream or is it deja~vu
I just had to let you know so I had to sing it
'cause for you boy I don't know
The way you walk and the way you talk and
The way you move and you remind me, yes you do
Of the way you dress and the way you dance and
You really like to move it. You remind me
You, you remind me of a memory
And this is something you should know
Sweet baby darling c'mon just stop playing with my mind
'cause for you boy I don't know
(The way)
The way you walk and
(The way)
The way you talk and
(The way)
You really like to move it
(The way)
The way you dress and
(The way)
The way you dance and
(The way)
You really like to groove it
You remind me, you remind me
And the way you walk and
The way you talk and
The way you move it
You remind me, yes you do
The way you dress and
The way you dance and
You really like to groove it
You remind me, you remind me
I saw you, I saw you before baby
chorus:
You don't have to worry
I won't waste your time
I ain't satisfied
You don't have to worry
I won't waste your time
I ain't satisfied
Love is made,
Made of many things
And one of them is trust
But I can't trust you anymore
Things you say (say) how about the things you do?
They won't hurt me, no
They won't hurt me anymore
~chorus~
Love can make,
Make a stronger man
But you don't love me
(You don't love me)
And I don't feel you're always strong
The hearts you break
With your simple lies
And you better watch out baby
The next heart may be your own
I gave you
My love, my life, my time
Mine was your own
Though you stripped me to the bone
When I asked you how you feel,
If our love was the deal
You told me, we got it goin' on
Now I feel that love is gone
~chorus~
I'm alright,
I'm alright
I gave you
My love, my heart and soul
You took my love
Now you want to take control
When a good thing comes your way
Why can't you stay
I can't go on another day
~repeat chorus~
You know I'm gonna be alright
You know I'm gonna be alright
You know I'm gonna be alright
Why why why
You know I'm gonna be alright
You know I ain't satisfied
What's the 411, hun?

Well, I be Puba on this here
The nigga from last year
Girbaud's hanging baggy
Tommy Hilfiger top gear
Take no shorts
I'm doin lovely in all sports
Even swing the pole at the hole on my golf course
Some say I'm fancy
Cause I'm horny and nasty
If I see some rugged joint
Then I won't let it pass me
I take no shorts
Let suckas step up and see
I'll flip the script and get harder than Jepoardy
I shot the sherif and the muthafuckin deputy
Test me
Check it
I'm not Keith Sweat but bet that ass
That I can make it last
Skinz turn they head so fast
They end up catching whip lash
If hun's a monster
I'm Carl Lewis on a meter dash
It's Grand Puba baby
And I'm gettin crazy cash
What's the 411? Let me know, hun
What's the 411?
Yeah, nig, what makes you different from the next nigga
Seen you last week
And you couldn't even speak
You try to play like Mr. All-of-that
But now you wanna come to me with some chit-chat
I don't have no time for no wham-bam thank you, ma'am
Ghas me up, get me drunk and hit the the skinz and scram
The same ol' shit you pulled last week on Pam
I'm not havin that, No I'm not havin that
You gotta do alot more and that's just how it be
I'm Mary Blige and you just aint runnin up in me
I need a man who's lookin out with some security
So come correct with some respect and then we will see
So if you with it, the drop the 7 digits
And I might just give you a call
If you aint with it, then don't waste you time at all
So what's the 411, hun?

P Mary Blige is something kinda special
M Love is life and life is living
Beautiful, horrible, magical, terrible
Reason to laugh and smile, reason to cry yourself
To sleep at night, start a fight
Makeup, breakup, wrong or right
Heaven for all it's worth can equally be held right here on earth
And no one really knows
(No)
Anything about it
But everybody needs it
We can't live without it
And that's the way it goes
Darkest day, brightest night
Just some other things you might hear
If you ask what love feels like
And it feels like joy
And it feels like pain
And it feels like sunshine
Feels like rain
And excuse the dying
Reason to live
And if you don't know
That's what love is, love is, oh
Gentle kiss, sweet caress
Kiss the base of your neck
Argue until my head hurts
I can't remember what you said
Out, screaming loud
Don't know what we're screaming 'bout
So confusing, yes, it's true
But if it wasn't there what would we do?
And no one really knows
(No)
Anything about it
But everybody needs it
We can't live without it
And that's the way it goes
Oh, darkest day, brightest night
Just some other things you might hear
If you ask what love feels like
And it feels like joy
And it feels like pain
And it feels like sunshine
Feels like rain
And excuse the dying
Reason to live
And if you don't know
That's what love is, love is, oh
That's love
(The only thing that can bring you up or break you down)
That's love
(Beneath the sun up in your sky or the darkest cloud)
Darkest cloud
That's love
(And we need it)
That's love
(And we need it)
That's love
Oh, ask anybody how it feels
And it feels like joy
And it feels like pain
And it feels like sunshine
Feels like rain
And excuse the dying
Reason to live
And if you don't know
That's what love is, love is
And it feels like joy
(Joy)
And it feels like pain
(Pain)
And it feels like sunshine
Feels like rain
And excuse the dying
Reason to live
And if you don't know
That's what love is, love is
- If I have my way
Life would be just fine
But the world is too much
And it makes me cry
Sometimes I feel like leaving
But I must be wise
Because time is not on our side (on our side)
(Don't you that time is not on our side)
Because time is not on our side (on our side)
The end is coming, stop your running
I'm telling you this is the truth
You can talk about what you read about
Everything is on the news
People nowadays so shady
Now what is wrong with them
Something cast a spell up on their minds
And they always wanna condemn
While your judging me you should look around
And you'll see how people going down
Some of them are killed over a dime
Now tell me do we really have time
To continue with this madness
Cause I'm sick and tired of this
Trying to crush my world with jealousy
And I'm about to catch a fit
You're deceiving
What's the meaning
Of you're retrieving
The enemy's greeting
We all are leaving someday but
We don't know how we are going
Please believe me when I tell you
(feat. Drake)

West put me on the mart, keep life light plus I go hard for the women that I might wife

It's gonna be a tough fight
It's gonna be some lonely nights
But I'm ready to carry on
I'm so glad the worst is over
I can start living now, ooh

And finally I'm not afraid to breathe

So many don't survive
They just don't make it through
But look at me ooh

Thinkin' back life's been painful
Yes it was
Took a while to learn how to smile
So now I'm gonna talk to my people oh

And I'm almost there
Cause now I am free

From the bottom of my heart i want to say-
I'll give thanks to you
(Thanks to you)
I owe it all unto you
(Oh I thank you)
I've had some good days
And I've had some bad days

Didn't think that I can make it
I know how it feels to have money
I know how it feels to be broke
And I can tell ya 'bout lonely
Cause I've been there before
Lord, when I raise my head up to the sky
All of the emptiness was gone
If you believe, you'll see in time
That everything will be all right
It's gonna be all right
Everything will be ok
This is her testimony -- Mary's story
Trouble don't last always
Through my trials and tribulations
I still believe
That god had a greater plan for me
Exceeded all my expectations
But when he gave me what I need
And now I'm set free
Lord, when I raise my head up to the sky
All of the emptiness was gone
If you believe, you'll see in time
That everything will be all right
This is my story
This is my song
(This is my song)
This is the day I celebrate
My trouble's are gone

When I'm with you, when I'm round you (3x's)

I...I never thought I could feel so much like a lady
It's good to have doors open for me
By a real man, who wants to hold my hand
And he's not ashamed to be out in public with me
It's the simple things that really turn me on
Like being kind, being warm to me that makes a man look strong
And that's why I don't mind spending all my time with him
I feel so ummm ummm
I feel so lady (I feel so lady)
When I'm with you when I'm round you
I feel so lady (I feel so lady)
When I'm with you when I'm round you (2x's)
I...I never was the type
To wear high heels and all that stuff but now I even wear make-up
Because you make me feel like it's alright with you
So it's alright with me
Boy you changed my mind about this whole thing
So I cross my legs and sit up straight
I can wait for our next date
And I really love the new me and its because of you she's who I want to be
I feel so lady (I feel so lady)
When I'm with you when I'm round you
I feel so lady (I feel so lady)
When I'm with you when I'm round you (2x's)
I didn't know how to be a lady
I didn't know I really had it in me
1st Verse:
The first love
I let inside of my life
Had me afraid to fly
Had my head in
The clouds
And meanwhile he
Let me crash
The next guy
He didn’t even care
Enough to pay the fare
Took one look at
All my baggage
And caught himself
A cab
And then I met you
B-Section:
There’s a place for me
In the air
Can’t wait to be
With you there
Buckle up
We’re taking off
And it’s all
Because you

Ask me ‘bout
My man

We fly over rocky roads
And rainy days
Repeat B-Section 1x

Gotta get away of all this pain
Don’t worry about
If you’ve seen enough bad days
So what is there left for me to explain
Chorus
You just need to learn to let our hair down (we need to learn to love somebody)
Something good as it goes around
Take full advantage of a sunny day (of a sunny day, sunny day)
Better hurry before the sky goes gray
There is so much to be livin’ for (ooouu)
Drop that top and turn on the radio
And let your mind get free
Come on and rock with me!
Boy if you stay I'll always make sure
That you look to see a brighter day
Don't let our lovin' slip away
The things you do, they always make me feel
Like there's no one else but you
Promise you'll be true
Always
Share my world
Don't you leave
Promise I'll be here
Whenever you need me near
Share my world
Don't you leave
Promise I'll be here
So baby don't you have no fear
To be with you would be like paradise
Everything would be so nice (so nice), so right (so right)
The joy you bring to me makes me feel so
Good inside
It's so right (so right), so high
Just thinkin about you
And my feelings I just can't hide
I don't know what I would do
(Would do)
Without you (you)
When I'm down and out
I think about
The good love you give to me
Oh, the love you give to me
I'm so happy
So share, share my world
Ooh, la la la
Won't you share my world
Searching
Do you hear what I hear
Can you see what I see
Everybody's crying out
And yet we have no unity
My friends always ask me
Mary? tell me why do you weep
Cause I'm trying to get over
All the negativity
That's why I'm searching
We are living in a world
Of "Who has what?" and "Who is who?"
But I'm telling you my friend
The answer's right in front of you
We are searching for a peace
Piece of mind is what we need
We are searching for the love
That comes with the unity
Oh ooh oh (oh)
Oh ooh oh (everyday)
Oh ooh oh (it rains)
Oh ooh oh (can you stand the pain?)
Oh ooh oh (why do we live the way we choose to live?)
Oh ooh oh
Oh (I'm telling you my brother right now that we got to be...)
Oh ooh oh (oh)
Oh ooh oh (Why are we still searching)
Oh ooh oh (When the answer's right in front of you)
Oh ooh oh (I'm telling you)
Oh ooh oh
Oh ooh oh (you better look straight a head of your path)
Oh (Because the love is always there)
I don't wanna fuss n' fight
I just wanna make it right
What can we do to be strong
If we try to get along
I'm not trying to preach to you
But I am still searching too, yeah
Me and you can do it, oh
I don't ever wanna be stressed out
I just wanna live my life
The way I feel that I should be
Cause I wanna be happy, happy

The candle light and you walking softly through my door
Come on in my sweet. How have you been?

Let's make the time tonight while the feelings right
Reminisce on the love we had
Let's make the time tonight while the feelings right

Tonight we're gonna be more than friends

Life has a way of making you live it.
Sometimes it takes you to giving it.
Do you fold or do you play on?
The next move always depends on you.
If your work is good then it's trouble at home.
If your moves is right.
Then your dough is tight.
It's like running a engine on no fuel.
How do you play in a game with no rules?
(It's always a fight).
A constant battle in my mind. (No place to run, no were to hide).
I gotta keep moving on, I gotta at least try...
(Dealing with the pressures of everyday life).
Gotta go the extra mile just can't throw in the towel.
You would be so amazed by the things that I can tell...
I got troubles with in, troubles with out.
Making it threw but tryin' to figure it out.
Tryin' to stay right when the world is so wrong.
But I gotta keep moving and press on.
Gotta stay real, tryin' to be strong.
Making it close but gotta hold on.
Tryin' to stay right but the world is so wrong.
But I gotta keep moving and press on, press on.
It's such a shame the more that you give the more that you have to wait.
For some one to appreciate all the moves you make.
All the chances you gotta take.
The way to get ahead is to have the fear in your eyes.
The only way to get by is for you never let'em see you sweat.
You sure better not let'em see you cry...
(It's always a fight).
A constant battle in my mind.
(No place to run, no were to hide).
I gotta keep moving on, I gotta at least try...
(Dealing with the pressures of everyday life).
Gotta go the extra mile just can't throw in the towel.
You would be so amazed by the things that I can tell...
I got troubles with in, troubles with out.
Making it threw but tryin' to figure it out.
Tryin' to stay right when the world is so wrong.
But I gotta keep moving and press on.
Gotta stay real, tryin' to be strong.
Making it close but gotta hold on.
Tryin' to stay right but the world is so wrong.
But I gotta keep moving and press on, press on.
Everyday it's something new to face.
Every night praying that I'll survive.
Oh oh ooh.
Tryin' to deal with the pressure.
Every time I try to get ahead.
Every mistake I make they try to do me in.
Whoa oh ohh!
How much more?
Ooh, ooh,
Over time, I've been building my castle of love
Just for two, though you never knew you were my reason
I've gone much too far for you now to say
That I've got to throw my castle away
Over dreams, I have picked out a perfect come true
Though you never knew it was of you I've been dreaming
The sandman has come from too far away
For you to say come back some other day
And though you don't believe that they do
That do come true
For did my dreams come true when I looked at you
And maybe too, if you would believe
You too might be
Overjoyed, over loved, over me
Over hearts, I have painfully turned every stone
Just to find, I had found what I've searched to discover
I've come much too far for me now to find
The love that I sought can never be mine
(* Repeat)
And though the odds say improbable
What do they know
For in romance
All true love needs is a chance
And maybe with a chance you will find
You too like I
Overjoyed, over loved, over you, you
In the middle of the night.
When you hold me tight.
Say it's all right.
I'm yours forever.
I do what you want.
If you don't hurt me.
I'll cook and clean.
I'll make you happy.
And ooh!
What you do to me.
Ooh! You're my everything.
And ooh! I'm so glad I found you.
Ooh! I can't live wit out you.
Got a Jones in my bones.
And it's all for you baby.
Can't leave you alone.
I'm so addictive.
I can't shake this thang.
It's the sweetest pain.
So who's your girl?
You better say my name.
And ooh! What you do to me.
Ooh! You're my everything.
And ooh! I'm so glad I found you.
Ooh! I can't live wit out you.
What you do to me, it's just a mystery.
It's hard to believe that you our here with me.
Making all my dreams a sweet reality.
Is it getting better
Or do you feel the same?
Will it make it easier on you now?
You got someone to blame
You say one love, one life (one life)
It's one need in the night
One love (one love), get to share it
Leaves you darling, if you don't care for it
Did I disappoint you?
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without
Well it's too late, tonight
To drag the past out into the light
We're one, but we're not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other
One...
Have you come here for forgiveness?
Have you come to raise the dead?
Have you come here to play Jesus?
To the lepers in your head
Well, did I ask too much, more than a lot?
You gave me nothing, now it's all I got
We're one, but we're not the same
Well we, hurt each other
Then we do it again
You say
Love is a temple
Love is a higher law
Love is a temple
Love is the higher law
You ask me to enter
Well then you make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what you got
When all you got is hurt
One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should
One life
With each other
Sisters and my
Brothers
One life
But we're not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other
One...

(Sometimes it make me feels so sad when I think about it)
(But I'm not looking, hey baby yeah)

So I don't need you tripping, trying to take me there
(Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary)

What it takes to please me
I'm not impressed by your honesty, oh no, no
I don't need you to tell me I look good
I don't need it, no
(No no no, I know you don't)
Cause I've been hearin' that around my hood
And I'm trying to tell you something
I'm not looking for no player shit
Not when everybody's trying to get with this
You see, I don't need you here just to get a hit
I'm not looking for no player shit
Where were you when everything was going down
I left my man and didn't have no one around
See I don't need it, I don't want it
You're not the nigga for it
You think that you can get it
No, right now I'm not gonna let it
Oh please stop frontin' on that player shit (Oh)
I heard around the town you were still down with it

(Stop playing with me)

I swear I'm tired of playing games
(My my my my mind is all confused)
I don't wanna be down, go 'head, go 'head (Go 'head, oh)
I don't wanna be down, I'm tired of playing games
Tired of chasing your egomaniac
Egotistical, chest sticking out (Oh baby)
Think your God's gift to me, oh
(That's not me, that's not me, that's not me)
Hate to do it to you like this
(You oughta know by now baby)
But I got to do it cause it's only right
To let you know I'm not looking
For no arrogant, egotistical player shit
(I hear you)
Do you really hear me, then hear this
I'm sick and tired of chasing you
(I understand you, baby)
Sick and tired of holding you
(I said I hear you)
Go 'head, go 'head
All my ladies stand up and clap
(I understand you)
If you feel me, if you feel me
(I'm so sorry, baby)
Come with something better than that, please
(Vs.1)
While all the time that I was loving you
You were busy loving yourself
I would stop breathing if you told me to
Now you're busy loving someone else
Eleven years out of my life
Besides the kids I have nothing to show
Wasted my years a fool of a wife
I shoulda have left your ass a long time ago
(Chorus)
Well I'm not gon cry,
I'm not gon cry,
I'm not gon shed no tears
No, I'm not gon cry,
it's not the time
cuz you're not worth my tears
Well I'm not gon cry,
I'm not gon cry,
I'm not gon shed no tears
No, I'm not gon cry,
it's not the time,
cuz you're not worth my tears
(Vs.2)
I was your lover and your secretary
Working every day of the week
Was at the job when no one else was there
Helping you get on your feet
Eleven years of sacrifice
And you can leave me at the drop of a dime
Swallowed my fears, stood by your side
I shoulda left your ass a thousand times
(Chorus)
I know there are no guarantees
In love you take your chances
But somehow it seems unfair to me
Look at the circumstances
Through sickness and health 'till death do us part
Those were the words that we said from our hearts
So now when you say that you're leaving me
I don't get that part
(Repeat Vs.2)
We've, got a message in the music...
And we, know exactly how to use it...
A message comin' from the soul...
Want you to listen young and old...
We're not just writing any song...
That you can dance to all night long...
Please correct me if i'm wrong...
But this music is a strong...
Way for us to communicate...
I gotta let it have it's way...
{Bridge}
Let it take you to a place...
Only music can provide...
Let it make you feel as if..
You can really touch the sky!
[drake - verse 1]
don't it seem like, like i'm always there when it matters
but missing most of the other time, a terrible pattern
the rewards i see from working made me an addict
theres way more people that want it than people that have it
i dont get it, i would hate to think i tricked 'em
they fall victim to my system, guess i sure know how to pick 'em
and i'm always her regret, yeah, i'm always her regret
and i always make it harder on whoever's coming next
it goes up and down, it's just up and down
she's crying now but she'll laugh again
cause we on the rise and she here with us
in expensive shit, just keeps happening
she loves it, she stares at me like who does this
and we hold hands while i pray that she's not the type to hold grudges
i'm wrong..

I need a real love Mary hollar at me if you need a real thug
we could ride through Compton to see real blood, real crypts,
and imma always hold you down thats real shit
I'm the Los Angeles King and you remind me of Mary the R&B; Queen
I got the 411 whats crackin what I owe you for helping me go 4 times platinum
I had a kid to my life he's almost 2 i guess wat im tryin 2 say
is thank you for over ten years in the ghetto gospel
you paved the way for young black women of prosper
how you paint pictures
you deserve grammies and oscars
congratulation from me Aftermath and the "Dr"
so you could go ahead envy me
I'm Billboards top ten featuring 'MJB'
'91 i stepped in this game
After 'whats the 411' things aint been the same
and i cant complain but with all this fame comes a whole lot of pain
but im so glad to be here
and my music's still sincere
lets get back to the story
all of this pain and glory
and '94 was my life and my life wasn't right
so i reached out to you and told u what i been through
Hate it or love it,
(The underdogs on top)
(And I'm gonna shine homie until my heart stops)
go 'head envy me
I'm the soul hip-hop queen
and i aint going nowhere
but you already know me
Hate it or love it,
(The underdogs on top)
(And I'm gonna shine homie until my heart stops)
go 'head envy me
I'm the soul hip-hop queen
and i aint going nowhere
but you already know me
I came with 'share my world'
but at that point I was just a foolish girl
trying to find my way
Then I dropped the 'Mary' album
and people were saying that its just not gonna work
and my feelings they did hurt
but my fans showed me so much love
and i owe it all to them
and i came with 'No More Drama'
I remember that week
it was when Aaliyah died i couldnt hardly sleep
thought about it everyday and it made me change my way
I'm a real woman now because of all of these days
You remind me
of a real love
(you dont 'ave to worry)
real love
all night long
im goin down
dododododah dododododah
reminice on the love we have
you are everything love without a limit
what u gonna do without

Right now i just want to thank ..
Dr.Dre
Hate it or love it Aftermath's On Top!
and The Game for picking such a hot record

Mmmmm...
Cause everybody needs love
Love is all we need
To make everything complete
If we try to live together and be happy
You and me are one
And we've only just begun
So let's make a new beginning and have some fun
Oh...
Love is all we need
Said it's all we need
To make everything complete
All we need is L-O-V-E
Love is all we need
Cause to love you would mean everything
Cause everybody need love
Dealing with tough times
Seems to always blow my mind
But I know where my heart is so I am fine
If we remain friends
It would never ever end
And this love I give to you you can depend on, love
Love is all we need
To make every little thing complete
Oh, if you would trust in me
I'd let you know, that I love
Feel this hit, bangin' in your residential district
Presidential chipped out canary rock sizzlin'
Mary hot pop crisp shorty got this
Fly angel, my dreams of a queen came true
In this land that's dark, if you my man, then you my heart
I'll blast for you, need bail put up tha cash for you
Girls who mad loyal die for you, leave 'em if they actin' too fly for you
All up in yo mix then in somebody else six
Quick to put yo name in some murder one shit
I'm not the one cheatin' on you, or beatin' on you
Cause I'm laid back you thought that I was sleepin' on you,
Real love make a ill thug feel bugged
Nas analyze are you trustworthy by the looks on your eyes
Stay wit me, be my dog like Dollar and Richie
She convinced me, all we realy need is love strictly
You know love is all we need
To make everything complete
I wanna be happy, we can be happy
Don't you wanna be happy with me?
You and me are 2 in 1
And our love has just begun
And we can love, we can love oh we need it
One love, one life
Live on, stay strong
Live ya life girl
(Chorus)
You abandoned me
Love don't live here anymore
Just a vacancy
Love don't live here anymore
Faith:
When you lived inside of me
There was nothing I could conceive
That you wouldn't do for me
Trusting so far away
You changed that right away
(Chorus)
Mary:
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
(Chorus)
Faith:
Through the windows of my eyes
Everyone can see
The loneliness inside of me
Why you had to go away
Don't you know I miss you so
I need your love
Chorus (x2)
Love don't live here
I'm surprised to see your suitcase at the door
Remember the good times, don't you want some more
It's not a perfect love, but I'll defend it
Cause I believe that's what God intended
- We got love too good to throw away
- It's not over between you and me
It's not over, don't want to be free
- What has been joined by God, by God
Let no man put asunder
Oh no don't throw it away
Don't throw it away
I can hear those words spoken, understood
Making bonds through love, the times are better good
I'm convinced that what is meant to be will be
Even the stars declare that you belong to me
Hmmm, oh, oh, oh yeah
(It's not over)
Said I need you
And I want you
I got to have you every day in my dog gone life
(It's not over)
It's not over, no, no, no
(It's not over)
(It's not over)
(It's not over)
Said I need you
And I want you
I got to have you every day in my dog gone life
(It's not over)
It's not over, no, no, no
(It's not over)
(It's not over)
Baby, baby, baby, oh, hmm, hmm
See, one thing I know about me and you
That no matter what we go through baby
I know you will be coming back someday
Because I know deep inside you feel the same way
Because it's not over
It's not over, no, no, between you and me
It's not over, hmmm na
Say ooh baby, ooh baby
Come on y'all, help me out, come on y'all
You know what I'm saying, yeah
It's not over, no, no, between you and me
Come on ya'll
Baby, baby, baby
Let us pause in life's pleasures and count its many tears,
While we all sup sorrow with the poor;
There's a song that will linger forever in our ears;
Oh hard times come again no more.
[Chorus:]
Tis the song, the sigh of the weary,
Hard Times, hard times, come again no more
Many days you have lingered around my cabin door;
Oh hard times come again no more.
While we seek mirth and beauty and music light and gay,
There are frail forms fainting at the door;
Though their voices are silent, their pleading looks will say
Oh hard times come again no more.
[Chorus x2]
So many days you have lingered all around my cabin door;
Yeah! (8x)
Let the Piano Man Play (2x)
I'm call you in the middle of the night
Before we have a little problem

Verse 1:
Some come around me try to call my bluff
Pushin my buttons just to see if im tough
Behind my back spreadin all kind of lies
Cause' your an agent workin on both sides
Hangin around me tryin ta get some shine
You're mad at me because I work for mine
Blood, sweat, and tears just to make a dime
While you sit back and try to take whats mine
Chorus:
Don't let em push you to the limit cause they like it a lot
And if they not witcha then tell them to just
Keep it moving (Keep It Moving)
Keep it moving, yeah (keep it moving, yeah yeah)
Cause you don't even got no business hating on me
And I'm sorry that you feel this way but you can just keep
Keep it movin (keep it movin)
Keep it movin yeah
Verse 2:
(Spiritually, mentally, physically)
I'm tryin-my best
To better myself
And no one else
But your so busy thinkin
That this money's gonna turn me to someone else
And settle for less
Hook:
Get your own life
On your own time
Stop hangin around,
Tryin to drain me dry
I've been broke before
Can't do it no more
But if I have to
It won't be over you
No one in this world
Can make me self-destruct
If you listen real close you would hear just
What I'm tryin to
Say to you
You and your crew
So stop sittin round waitin on me to loose
Chorus:
Don't let em push you to the limit cause they like it a lot

If I don't love you this way
If I don't love you this way
If I don't love you this way
Why do I say what I say
If I don't need you this much
Why do I ache for your touch
With you it seems I could reach the stars
With reckless hopes and dreams
With you it seems I still don't believe
How valuable you are
I'm really loving you
Not pretending to
If I don't need you this strong
Why do I beg to belong
How can you doubt that I care
When I'm with you everywhere
With you I find I can close my eyes
To the world surrounding me
And you create the sweetest place
That I could ever be
I'm really loving you
Not pretending to
If I don't love you this way
Why do I say what I say
If I don't need you this much
Why do I ache for your touch
You just have the smile
That makes my life worth while
That explains everything you gain
If I don't love you this way
Why do I say what I say
If I don't need you this much
Lauryn:
As I look at what I've done
The type of polite that I've lived
How many things I pray the father will forgive
One situation involved a young man
He was the ocean and I was the sand
He stole my heart like a thief in the night
Dulled my senses blurred my sight
Chorus:
I used to love him but now I don't
I used to love him but now I don't
Mary:
I chose a road of passion and pain
Sacrificed too much and waited in vain
Gave up my power ceased being queen
Addicted to love like the drugs of a fiend
Lauryn & Mary:
Torn and confused wasted and used
Reached the crossroad which path would I choose
Stuck and frustrated I waited, debated
For something to happen that just wasn't fated
Though what I wanted was something I needed
When momma said no I just should have heeded
Misled I bled till the poison was gone
And out of the darkness arrived the sweet dawn
Chorus:
I used to love him but now I don't
I used to love him but now I don't
Lauryn & Mary:
Father you saved me and showed me that life
Was much more than being some foolish man's wife
Showed me that love was respect and devotion
Greater than planets deeper than oceans
My soul was weary but now it's replenished
Content because that part of my life is finished
I see him sometimes and the look in his eye
Is one of a man whose lost treasures untold
But my heart is gold I took back my soul
And totally let my creator control
The life which was his to begin with
Steppin' out tonight with my people
Everybody's fly
Watch me now, my dress, it gets attention
Whenever I walk by
They say, "Ooh, she walks around like she's someone important
Like she owns the world"
Catchin' eyes of jealous and you haters
But respect from all my girls
I don't know what it is
But it's got me flyin' and I like it
I don't know what it is
But I'm alright and the best way to describe it
I feel good like the moon is shinin' just for me
Tonight I'm fly as I can be
Don't you try to bring me down, though
It's not like you could
I feel too damn good
Say, ooh, ooh
I feel too damn good
Say, ooh, ooh
Tippin' in my heels with such swagger
Fellas, how are you?
Debonaire, sexy with so much charm
Yeah, I'm talkin' to you
So let's go, let me make you smile with my charisma
Lead you to the floor
Let's dance like we know everybody's watchin'
'Cause that's what we're here for
I feel good like the moon is shinin' just for me
Tonight I'm fly as I can be
Don't you try to bring me down, though
It's not like you could
I feel too damn good
Say, ooh, ooh
I feel too damn good
Say, ooh, ooh
Back off of me, that negativity
Don't wanna hear what you say
I'm gonna dance away my drama
So you best get out my way
I feel good like the moon is shinin' just for me
Tonight I'm fly as I can be
Don't you try to bring me down, though
It's not like you could
I feel good like the moon is shinin' just for me
Tonight I'm fly as I can be
Don't you try to bring me down, though
It's not like you could
I feel too damn good
Say, ooh, ooh
I feel too damn good

The Lox:
You said I couldn't do it again, but I did.
Chorus:
Can't get you, off my mind,
Thinking about you all the time
Can't get you, off my mind,
Thinking about you all the time
Mary J. Blige:
The day we met, was the last day, that I said, I wouldn't love anyone else this way.
Now you know that I'm with you, and I'll always be true, there's nothing in this world that I wouldn't do for you.
Chorus:
Can't get you off my mind, oh, oooo, oh, oh,
Thinking about you all the time, all the time,
Can't get you off my mind, off my mind,
Thinking about you all the time
Mary J. Blige:
The day you left, it was so sad, now I'm standing here holding on to the past.
Keep growing on, gotta live your life, if we grow up in time, baby, real love we will find.
Chorus:
Can't get you off my mind, oh, ooo, oh, oh,
Thinking about you all the time, all all the time,
Can't get you off my mind, off my mind,
Thinking about you all the time, lemme he say,
Mary J. Blige

The Lox:
You need rocks on the fourth finger of your left hand, tell your bridesmaid to hit off my best man, always on my mind, like money, you my hunney, there when I'm laced, there when I'm bummy.
Sheek:
Say, word, it's quite hard for me to get you off, my mind, but I still get dough of coarse, true love between a thug and a dove, poppin champaigne in the tub. Wha'
Jedakiss:
Hey, yo, everything revolves around trust, cause if it wasn't for you, then there wouldn't be no us. No, jealousy, envy, and no lust, three, two eight, off the lot when I bust. Sittin in the house countin Lincolns and I'm still thinkin, can't get you off, so I'm blinkin. Sinkin down in this silk couch, snooped out, your hole in my heart, got my love all spilled out.
Chorus:
I Can't get you, i can't you, I can't get you off my mind
Thinking about you all the time, oh, ooo, oh, ooo, oh, ooo, oh, oh
Can't get you, can't get you, off my mind, off my mind
Thinking about, all the time, my people value.
(feat. Lil' Kim)
[Chorus]
I can love you, (I can love you)
I can love you, (I can love you)
I can love you better than she can
I can love you, (I can love you)
I can love you, (I can love you)
I can love you better than she can
[Vs.1]
Sitting here,
Wondering why you don't love me
The way that I love you
And baby have no fear
Cause I would never ever hurt you
And you know my love is real, boy I can
[Chorus]
[Vs.2]
I know some times
Can get rough but we'll make it
We'll make it through the storm
And I know I will try
To make sure that you can trust me
And you know the reason why that I say
(I can love you) I can love you
A little better than she can
(I know that you) I know that you
Wish that you could be my man
Cause I can love you better than she can
[Chorus]
[Rap: Lil Kim]
If I told you once, I told you twice,
Q. B. throw the booty, like a groupie for mo' ice
Armor truck heist, get the bonus like N'Bushe,
In love wit' you since the days of "Juicy"
Now I watch you play Columbo, Picasso
Tricks inside colossals, turn you castles to brothels, Uh!
Who you lovin', who you wanna be huggin?
Dippin on ya Ninja Honda with Tanisha and Rhonda, Wha!
You work more body than Jane Fonda,
Physical fitness, Mary Blige be my witness
Under pressure, I lie for ya, die for ya
Rueger by the thigh for ya, right hand high for ya
Because of you, I'm inheritin' trillions,
Buryin' billions, Bentley Coupe's millions
Playin' good samaritan, in the Sheraton
Crack the Don P's and Remy's
You better hurry in
(Won't you tell me who?)
(Who's gonna make you feel the way I do)
Who's gone love you like I do, huh? What
Who's gone treat you like I do, huh? What
(Nobody, nobody)
Mary Blige, Lil Kim, ha ha
Queen Bee, ah-hah, that's me
That's right, Mary J, Lil K
Who's gonna make you feel the way I do?
Nobody, nobody
Who's gonna make you feel the way I do?
Nobody, nobody
There's something that I want to say,
But I feel I don't know how.
Until I just can't hold it one more day,
So I think I let it out.
You're on my mind more than I may show
You're in my heart more than you may know
And the last thing that I want,
Is for you to fall apart.
Your future will be clearer,
I want you to remember.
In each tear
there's a lesson, (there's a lesson)
Makes you wiser than before (wiser)
Makes you stronger than you know (stronger)
In each tear (each tear)
Brings you closer to your dreams
No mistake, no heartbreak
Can take away what you're ment to be...
We can't change the things,
That we done, that's in our past.
But fighting won't get us anywhere,
So if you want, then here's my hand...
Every night there is one thing I do
I bow my head and I pray for you (pray for you)
And the last thing that I want (that I want)
Is for you to fall apart
Your future will be clearer
I want you to remember
In each tear
there's a lesson, (there's a lesson)
Makes you wiser than before (wiser)
Makes you stronger than you know (stronger)
In each tear (each tear)
Brings you closer to your dreams
No mistake, no heartbreak
Can take away what you're meant to be
You're much more than a struggle that you go through
You're not defined by your pain, so let it go...
You're not a victim, you're more like a winner
And you're not in defeat, you're more like a queen
In each tear
there's a lesson,
Makes you wiser than before (wiser)
Makes you stronger than you know (stronger than you know)
In each tear ( in each tear)
Brings you closer to your dreams
No mistake, no heartbreak
Can take away what you're meant to be
In each tear (each tear)
there's a lesson, (there's a lesson)
Makes you wiser than before (wiser)
Makes you stronger than you know (stronger than you know)
In each tear ( Make you so much more)
Brings you closer to your dreams
No mistake, no heartbreak
Can take away what you're meant to be
No no we can't be held down
No no oh noo I I I can't be held down
You you you can't be held down
We we we can't be held down
Love
And makes you so much stronger (stronger)
And makes you so much wiser (wiser)
In each tear (in each tear)
And you so close to your dreams,
And no mistake, no heartbreak,

Ain't nobody gonna treat you better
Ain't nobody gonna touch you better
Ain't nobody gonna love you better
Boy, than I am, than I am
When you're out at night and you're in the streets
And you have time to yourself
Think of all the love that you get from me
That you can't find nowhere else
When you're far away and I'm not around
And temptation fills your heart
Think of all the ways that I'm faithful, babe
And to replace me would be hard, 'cause there's nobody
Ain't nobody gonna treat you better
(No, nobody)
Ain't nobody gonna touch you better

Ain't nobody gonna love you better

You can go ahead and mingle if you wanna
You can even behave like
You don't care
But you know
(But you know)
Like I know
(Like I know)
That you ain't that foolish, who you foolin'?
You won't ruin what's been here all along
You ain't movin' from what you got at home
Ain't nobody gonna treat you better
Ain't nobody gonna touch you better

Ain't nobody gonna love you better

Ohh, nobody's gonna treat you as good as I am
I just want you to know, baby, I love you so
There is no need to go lookin' for nothing more
'Cause I've got everything you'll ever need right here
But if you feel that you need to leave, just know
Ain't nobody gonna treat you better
Ain't nobody gonna touch you better
(Ain't nobody)
Ain't nobody gonna love you better
Boy, than I am, than I am
Ain't nobody gonna treat you better
Ain't nobody gonna touch you better
Ain't nobody gonna love you better

But that's what I am if I let you hurt me yeah.
And as much as I wanna stay right here
To hear you say I'm sorry

'Cause I know you do it again and again.
Chorus:
So I gotta be my hero tonight
I gotta come and save me tonight
I gotta be my hero tonight, my hero
And drop the sword and fight for my life.
Since daddy didn't raise a good girl
I was never choosy
See I learnt that I love me...
No man could ever hurt me
'Cause as much as I wanna stay right here, right here
To hear you say I'm sorry uhh
I'll be damn if I stay right here
'Cause I know you do it again and again.
Chorus:
So I gotta be my hero tonight, my hero my hero
I gotta come and save me tonight, save my own life
I gotta be my hero tonight,
And drop the sword and fight for my life ohh.

You may be care, but you're not calm to me
You may know to love but you don't know how to love me
So I gonna set me free yeah.
[Chorus:]
Just don't think no one understands, you know I do
I had to pull up the sword and fight for my own life many ah times
So I get it ladies, I did it girls, save yourself
And he think I don't know
He think I don't know
And he think I don't know
He think I don't know
I don't know what gets me more
'Bout your two hour trips to the store
How they never have what you went there for
Yet you say to trust you more
Or is it the fact that you believe
That your girl is just so naive
But the one thing I can't deny
Is what I saw with my own two eyes
And he think I don't know (He must think I'm stupid)
He think I don't know
And he think I don't know
He think I don't know
On my way to work one night
As I made a left at the light
See what I saw just wasn't right
Guess what's done in darkness gon' come to light
But if you won't tell, I won't tell
Just let me leave before I go to jail
And the thing that blows my mind
Is that he walks around like [sh]it is fine
And he think I don't know (He must be crazy)
He think I don't know
And he think I don't know (He must be stupid)
Think I don't know
[4] Think I don't know
Think I don't know
Think I don't know
I'm so dumb
So wrong
Thinking that you gone marry me
I got to be out my mind
Think I need someone to carry me
I got enough cry and cry and cry
Cry and cry and cry
Cant stay by and by and by
I always wanted you to be my baby
When you touch me boy you drive me crazy
I don't wanna be your secret lover
When I get you boy there'll be no other
You and me its gotta be (the real thing)
Diamond, gold I'll set you free (my baby)
Wait too long boy I'll be gone (so hurry)
Wanna get this love don't do me wrong
What you find now ( I think I love you)
What you feel now (I think I need you)
What you know now ( to be real)
I get with you boy on one condition
If you promise not to ever mention
All the things we do to any of your friends
I will promise you love never ends
You and me its gotta be (the real thing)
Diamond, gold I'll set you free (my baby)
Wait too long boy I'll be gone (so hurry)
Wanna get this love don't do me wrong

What you feel now (I think I need you)
What you know now ( to be real)

Our love grows you chose to water the seas
You the one I've fallen for the more we walk down love's corridor
the angels all applaud (I want ya)
See the look in my eyes don't ya
Like a kid in my whip with Willy Wonka
Like back in the day playin wit Tonla
Gimme ya palm ma lemme read ya fortune
I see trust with hard times and honesty
We gon' go down in history
One look in your face just prove the fact
that u don't have 2 chase what u can attract
now what's real
What you find now ( I think I love you)
What you feel now (I think I need you)
What you know now ( to be real)
What you find now ( got to be real)
What you feel now (got to be real)
What you know now ( to be real)
What you find now
In my life
I've seen
It all
Now it's time
For me
To pass
On this
Knowledge to you
All my sisters
My troubled sisters
This is my
Gift to you
Been many days
Couldn't take
The pain
Felt like
I should take
My life away
See it everyday
In every other
Young sister's face
(Young sister's face)
See'em cryin' out
Life full of doubt
Runnin' in the streets
No self esteem
Thinkin' that
Used to be me
What a shame
And life
Is a mutha
It's hard
To sit back
And see
The same thing
That happened to me
Happen to you
This ain't love
But here's
The love
I wanna give to you
It dosen't
Matter what
They say or do
Don't let'em
Get to you
Don't be afraid
You can, you can
You can breakthrough
Take what
I've been through
To see that
You can't
Hold a good
Woman down
Went through
The same point
Of givin' up
I-I felt
Like I had enough
Went to the edge
Of the ledge
But I didn't jump
"My Life"
Will sum it up
You can't
Hold a good
Woman down
When I used to see
My daddy beat
My mother down
Down to her feet
I used to say
That ain't gon'
Never be me
(Never be me)
Now look at you
Bruised up
From him
Girl recognize
You're better then
Him tellin' you
That he'll never hit
You again
Girl don't cry
Through your changes
I will hold your hand
Use my songs
As remedies
Whenever you're feelin'
Down or blue
I'll be there for you
Trust
And know
That I've been
Where you're at
Seen the things
That you can see
Lookin' at you
Resembles me
But you gotta
Hold your own
Can't hold me
Down
Can't hold me
Down
Can't hold me
Down
Can't hold me
Down
Can't hold me
Down
Can't hold me
Down
You can't hold me
Can't hold me
Down
Can't hold me
Down
Can't hold me
Down
Can't hold me
Down
Can't hold me
Down
Can't hold me
Down
You can't hold me
There you have it
I'm still with you
My sisters
My troubled sisters
I still have troubles, too
You're not alone
I'll always be there
For you
Rock on
You can't hold
At that time in my life,
I was moving way too fast,
I thought Im the one for myself,
For my eyes I was blind.
Locked in my stupiditiy,
Messed up was my mind,
Now here comes history,
Bring these walls all tumbling down.
Cant some-one help me get out?,
Wanna break free here and now,
Cant some-one help me get out?,
Gunna break free with-out a doubt.
Shut my eyes i was oh so blind,
Shut my senses i did not fight.
Shut my eyes i was oh so blind,
Shut my senses i did not fight.
Now my world's turned around,
Im heading for a better life,
Just as I never thought I'd see,
Now its coming right on time.
Locked in my stupiditiy,
Messed up was my mind,
Now here comes history,
Bring these walls all tumbling down.
Cant some-one help me get out?,
Gunna break free here and now,
Cant some-one help me get out?,
Gunna break free here and now,
Shut my eyes i was oh so blind,
Shut my senses i did not fight.
Shut my eyes i was oh so blind,
Shut my senses i did not fight.
Cant some-one help me get out?,
Gunna break free here and now,
Cant some-one help me get out?,

I shouldn’t have to buy you or even lie to you. To keep you as, to you keep as my friend yeah). Right to my face you lied. Cause you’re my so called friend...
Uh. Uh oh. (Oh, ohh, oh, oh, ohh, oh, oh, ooh, ohh,). There goes that word again. How do we let it in? I thought you were my friend?

and be standing on the couch like my moms ain't teach me no manners
ma we can leave the club and hit the beach in Guyana
don't come back to our features is tanner
and thiers acscents on each of our grammers
(Vs.1)
Now I've had my fouls with love
Going through things I never heard of
Breaking up and getting back together
Faced with all kinds of stormy weather
And there was a time
I thought I'd lose my mind
But my friends and family warned me
Time after time after time
(Chorus):
Now tell me
How you gonna get something
When all you gave up is nothing
Everyday, Everyday, Everyday, baby
You twisted my mind
Tell me why is it that I'm bugging
Now that I got every thing
Everyday, Every way, you're gonna pay baby For dissing my love
(Vs.1)
Now baby it took a view
For me to get over you
I didn't think I could make it
But my faith in God said I could shape it
Back in the day I wasn't good enough for you
I would do anything to win you over
You took advantage of my attention
Oh, did I forget to mention
Bridge:
Everyday you did the same thing
And every hour you switch up on me
And every minute I'll be forgiving
And every second we keep reliving
Everyday you did the same thing
And every hour you switch up on me
And every minute I'll be forgiving
And every second we keep reliving
(Chorus)
It was your attitude
That was much too shrewd
Caused you to loose
1st Verse: Baby don't, don't go. You know I need you so. Sometimes my pride gets in the
way. I say things that I don't mean when I think your hurting me. I love you more and more each day, each day.
Chorus: I didn't, I didn't mean to make you cry. I don't want, I don't want you to say goodbye. I didn't, I didn't mean to make you sad. Your the best love I ever had. And nothin', and nothin' goin' to tear us apart. And for this, and for this love we work so hard. And can we, can we try to work it out. I'm yours all yours with out a doubt.
2nd Verse: I know that living wit me can sometimes be unhappy but I really need you in my life, yeah. Cause every part of me you totaly complete. Remember to make me your wife? Please and...
Chorus: I didn't, I didn't mean to make you cry. I don't want, I don't want you to say goodbye. I didn't, I didn't mean to make you sad. Your the best love I ever had. And nothin', and nothin' goin' to tear us apart. And for this, and for this love we work so hard. And can we, can we try to work it out. I'm yours all yours with out a doubt.

[Musical Interlude 2 wit ad-libs]
Repeat Chorus 1x
First of all we the one and only
Infamous and Mary Blige
Coming straight, ghetto poetry
And ain't nothing changed but the size of the money
I'm still that same 'g'
Can you say the same thing?
Must be blind to the fact Mary Queen on the wax
We the kings on the streets
Ain't know where your heart at, look inside
And you'll find a entertainer, one of a kind
That's way ahead of her time
Take a look
Oh I need to know
If you can get into my mind
Stimulate it
Give me good love all the time
Or are you just another man
Who's after me for all my paper
Looking for a ride that's free
Deep inside I wish you'd see
That I'm just plain old Mary
Deep inside I wish you'd see
That I'm just plain old, plain old Mary J. Blige
Now you see for seven years I lived life openly
So it's hard to find someone who really knows me
So I say these things just so that you can know
That you can't be with me
If you're trying to change my flow
Now if you take away the house
And you take away the clothes I wear
And you take away the diamonds
I'mma still be standing here
And if you take away the voice and the money
I will always be my nigga's favorite honey
And if you take away the car I drive
I'mma still be Mary Blige
Let's separate the bullshit from the truth
Straight up, I ain't got time for new friends, I need paper
We came up from the trenches
It was like pulling teeth without sedation
From the benches to the Bentley seats
Nigga, we the M-O-B-B
What, you ain't heard? You can't see?
Ever since the cash they wanna hound P
Oh now you got L-O-V-E for me
Doing this for about a decade Mobb and Mary
Troopers in the game with a heavy load to carry
After all the trials and tribulations
Rumors we faced, the media invading our space
That's the price you gotta pay
Take away by signs of whips
I'mma just plain old me at the end of the day
You can say what you choose
God gonna see me through
Criticize all you want 'till your face turn blue
I know you see
If you take away the house
And you take away the clothes I wear
And you take away the diamonds
I'mma still be standing here
And if you take away the voice and the money
I will always be my nigga's favorite honey
And if you take away the car I drive
It took a long time to get to this place
And now that I'm here no one can ever erase
The joy that I feel way down deep beside
The love that I have for me will never, never die
I can see in color the first sign of spring
The rose buds are blooming
I got a new song, new song to sing
Life looks so amazing
I never knew that it could open my eyes
And for the very, very first time I can see in color
Everything looks beautiful, sky so baby blue
I'm anxious to know where the rest of this road will go
If April showers bring flowers then I need, I need more rain
To quench the drought in me, so rain on me, rain on me
I can see in color the first sign of spring
The rose buds are blooming
I got a new song, a new song to sing
Life looks so amazing
I never knew that it could open, open my, open my eyes
And for the very, very first time I can see
I can see in color the first sign, the first signs of spring
It looks so beautiful to me
I can see, I can see, I can see, I can see in color
Sky so baby blue, so baby blue
I can see, I can see
I can see in color the first sign of spring
And now the rose buds are blooming
I can touch them, I can feel them
I'mma hold them forever and ever and ever and ever
And ever, I'ma hold 'em ever, I'ma be forever
I can see, I can see, I can see
I can see, I can see, I can see
I can see, see in color, color, color, color
Children, children, yeah, yeah....
I'm talkin' bout the babies yeah yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
We gotta fight the battles
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Children of the Ghetto
Runnin' wild and free
In the concrete jungle
Filled with misery
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Theres no inspiration
To brighten up our day
None at all, not at all, none at all
So out of desperation
I would like to say
Children of the Ghetto
Keep your head
To the sky
Keep it up, keep it up
Children of the ghetto
We're always in the news
See toughness is our moto
And bitter blues
See there's no inspiration
To brighten up our day
None at all
So out of desperation
I would like to say
Children of the Ghetto
Keep your head
To the sky
Keep it up, keep it up
Oh keep it up
Cornell seranade the people
[Musical Interlude]
There's no inspiration
Ooh ah
To brighten up our day
No, no, no, no
So out of desperation
I would like to say
Children of the Ghetto
Keep your head to the sky
Keep your head up, keep your head up
See to me, see to me
We are all God's Children
Tra, la, la, la, la, la, la
Tra, la, la, la, la, la, la
Tra, la, la, la, la, la, la
Tra, la, la, la, la, la, la

Hold on tight
Everything will be alright
Children of the Ghetto

Uh, Darkchild, wha'

Whoa, whoa, whoa, (whoa, whoa, whoa)

(Said I couldn't do it again, but I did)
Can't get you off my mind
Thinkin' about you all the time
Can't get you off my mind
Thinkin' about you all the time
The day we met was the last day
That I said I would look anyone else's way
Now you know that I'm with you
And I'll always be true
There's nothing in this world
That I won't do for you
The day you left, it was so sad
Now I'm standin' here holdin' on to the past
keep going on - gotta live your life
If we grow up in time
Maybe real love we will find
Whoa, whoa, whoa (whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa)
Whoa, whoa, whoa (whoa...yeah)
Whoa, whoa, whoa (whoa, ooh oh ooh oh ooh oh)
Whoa, whoa, whoa (whoa)
You need rocks on the 4th finger
Of your left hand
Tell your bride's maid to hit off my best man
Always on my mind like money
You my honey, there when I'm laced, there when I'm bummy
Say word, it's type hard for me to get you off my mind
But I still get dough of course
True love, between a thug and a dove
Poppin' champagne in the tub, wha!
Ay yo, everything revolves around trust
Cause if it wasn't for you, then they wouldn't be no us
No jealousy, envy, and no lust
3-2-8 off the lot when I bust
Sittin' in the house countin' Lincolns and I'm still thinking
Can't get you off so I'm blinkin'
Sinkin', down in the silk couch, milked out
Your hole in my heart got my love all spilled out
Ooh, I can't get you...
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Baby ??
How could you leave me standing all alone out there?
What happened to our love it seems you don’t care
I can’t go on like this baby no more
Baby im scared
Baby im scared
Oh hold my hand
And reassure me that our love will last this time
Cuz you’re the only one forever on my mind
I wont go on like this but you know I’ll be fine
Boy ill be fine
Yea yea
I cant seem to get you boy
Off my mind
Get you of my mind, can’t get you of my mind
You’re the only one I love
Youre all my life
Boy you’re all my life [x2]
I don’t wanna break up
Cuz that’s gonna break my heart again
And I don’t wanna make up
Cuz we’re just gonna be apart again
I don’t wanna see your face
But I missin you babe
Now the truth is that it hurts
But im so over love
Love love love
Love love love
Love love love
Love love love
Ohh baby
This love is so exhausting and I cant take no more
Keep pulling back and forth just like a ??
See if you really love me then you’ll set me free
I know I do some things that make you so confused
One minute I'm so in love and the next I can't stand you
But if u may ask it's just the things that you do
that reminds me of all of the mess that I've been through
I got this baggage with me
Don't wana make you pay for what somebody else has done to me
I don't know what to do
With all this baggage in me
Everytime I hurt your feelings it's what someones done to me
I don't mean to hurt you
Heartache and pain I just can't do it again
So I look for the worst and brace myself for the hurt
But nobody has ever treated me this way
Please be patient with me coz I want you to stay but I got all
This baggage with me
Don't wana make you pay for what somebody else has done to me
I don't know what to do
With all this baggage in me
Everytime I hurt your feelings it's what someone's done to me
I don't mean to hurt you
It's no way to be livin' my life
But I can't get it out of my mind
You know I love you yes I do
So don't, don't we get it confused
Don't be confused coz boy u know I realy do love you
Want you to stay wit me I never ment to hurt you baby
It won't be easy gettin rid of all this baggage baby
I got all of this baggage with me
Don't wana make you pay for what somebody else has done to me
I don't know what to do
With all this baggage in me
Everytime I hurt your feelings
It's what someone's done to me
Loving you is wonderful
Something like a miracle
Rest assured I feel the same way you do
Needing you it isn't hard
With you I can let down my guard
Stay secure that's all I'm asking of you
I wish I had words to tell
This feeling that I know so well
But I don't, I don't
All that I can say
Do do, do do, do do, do
All that I can say
Do do, do do, do do, do
I've always been curious
Needing someone serious
Looking for someone who loves like me
But the day I stopped my search
It seemed that you were put on Earth
To show me everything I could not see
I wish I could find a way
To tell you how I felt that day
But I can't (I just can't)
I can't
Knowing him, touching him
Showing him that I'm all in
Living and forgiving him
I would do it all again
Genuine seraphim
Sweeter than cinnamon
Heaven-sent gentleman
Synonyms for loving him
I love you, I love you
Oh I don't wanna live without you
You're all that I can say
Loving you is wonderful
(Do do, do do, do do, do)
All that I can say
(Do do, do do, do do, do)
All that I can say
Lookin like money, 'bout to hit the club
Me and my girls 'bout to live it up
Oooh I grab my bag, I check my swag and I am out that
door
Ready for a good night
All my people in the VIP, rock with me
Put your glasses up
All night long, cause what I want
All I really want
Shopping sprees, range keys
All I really want
Diamond rings, fancy things
All I really want
VIP, champagne dreams
All I really want is to be happy
I hate running
But I'm on a paper chase
I don't got no time to waste, I don't got no time to
waste
If it aint stunning
It aint even worth my time
I gotta get to mine
Lay everything on the line
Oooh I grab my bag, I check my swag and I am out that
door
Ready for a good night
All I really want
Shopping sprees, range keys
All I really want
Diamond rings, fancy things
All I really want
VIP, champagne dreams
All I really want is to be happy

Hair done, nails done, everything did
I wanna live it up like the stars, the house the cars
Stay fly, aim high,
Like its a stick up, stick up
Hands up til you touch the sky, touch the sky
Oooh I grab my bag, I check my swag and I am out that
door
Ready for a good night
All my people in the VIP, rock with me
Put your bottles up
All night long, cause what I want

About you (you know how I feel)
About you (you know how I feel)
About you (how I feel, you know how I feel)
So glad to have you in my life
(It's a new life for me, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
You, you're the one for me
I dont wanna be free
Boy, you have rescued me
but sometimes I don't want to be bothered
Baby, don't think I am shady
Just adjusting to ya
I don't wanna confuse ya or even misuse ya
But I love ya, I love ya, yeah, yeah
You're everything I ever wanted
Everything I've never wanted
In a man, can't you see
What you're doing to me
I'm sayin yes and sayin no
Because I dont want you to know
How I really feel, how I really feel
About you (you know how I feel)
About you (you know how I feel)

So glad to have you in my life

Ooh, so glad to have you in my life
So glad to have someone to hold me
So very happy with my life
I'm so glad, so glad, so glad
Baby, you a soul mama
Love's what I'mma bring to you
Quick don't pause like a comma
Won't stall on ya when it's time to put it on ya
Don't call on another chick I'm callin' on ya
Won't trip on ya, I don't bring the drama
I won't dip out when it's trauma
I'm holdin on mama, hold up, wait a minute
We've been through the downs ups, but stayed in it
So glad that I've got you, that I got you
So glad that I got you, I got you
Lookin out on the morning rain
I used to feel so uninspired
And when I knew I had to face another day
Lord it made me feel so tired
Before the day I met you
Life was so unkind
You're the key to my peace of mind
(Chorus)
Cause you make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman
Woman...
When my soul was in the lost and found
You came along to claim it
I didn't know what was wrong with me
'til your kiss helped me name it
Now I'm no longer doubtful
To what I'm livin' for
And if I make you happy
I don't need to do more
(Chorus)
Oh baby what you've done to me
(Done to me)
You make me feel so good inside
(Good inside)
And I just wanna be
(Wanna be)
Close to you, you make me feel
So alive
Mmmm, Mmmm
oh, you must believe, you must believe
Hey yeah
You gotta believe
Gotta believe, gotta believe in me
You gotta believe in me
(gotta believe me)
That I won't never hurt you
I told you once before
That I love you
And I need you
But let me tell you once again
You were my closest friend
I'll never leave you
So hold me tight
All through the night
Caress me with your tender care
Anytime or anywhere
Anytime, anywhere
I will go with you anywhere
(Please won't you trust me babe)
Won't you trust in me baby
Stay with me (stay, death do us part)
Till death do us part
You'll always be (oh, oh) right in my heart
Won't you please stay with me
Baby please believe in me (please believe in me)
Mary, Mary, I hear you loud and clear
Why don't you believe in me
Tell me why you don't see
That you can put your trust in me
And let me lead the way
Please baby take my hand
I don't need another man
But if you wanna hold on tight
You can not be afraid
Take Me boy by the hand (take me)

Live without you

To you, do I still look complete?
I got every material thing I could ever need. (Hmmm)
I got the love from my fans that adore me. (Yeah)

(No one promised it would be sunshine all the time)
Sunshine all the time, easy.
Some pain is guaranteed.
But it ain't impossible.
You can find the joy, you see.
Took me a while but I did finally.
Open your eyes and you will see I'm just like you.
Just like you sometimes I get down. (Get down, ohh)

Willing & waiting
But it's all up to you, ohhh
The very first time I laid my eyes on you
I knew you were the one
Nothing can compare to all the times
We both had some fun
Sometimes I wanna cry
Cause boy I realize
I need you in my life
Don't think he understands
I want him for my man
Waiting for you
I-I-I'm willing & waiting
So in love with you (so in love with you)

[mary j blige]
i've been logging in my bed, running til my eyes are red
we both said that things will change
but it's still the same shade of gray
i get mad you walk away
when it all just start to fade
i know you're fed up so am i
but we just can't say goodbye
boy, you know i love
but i just can't go on no more
feelin this way
[chorus]
you got me sayin' why, why, why?
can't we get it right?
just can't get it right
don't know why, why, why?
can't we get it right
no matter how hard we try
[rick ross]
i got her looking at me sideways
live every night like it's a friday
my conversations are so monumental
licking on her ear, i'm whispering a couple riddles
she fell in love with my technique
i made her call me boss when in the bedsheets
we both coming from the same place
all in her both coming at the same place
still on my dope boy swag
top down on my cam'ron, oh boy swag
played the hand we were dealt from the beginning, baby
you the dealer, cut the deck, while we winning baby
[chorus]
got me sayin' why, why, why?
can't we get it right?
just can't get it right
don't know why, why, why?
can't we get it right
no matter how hard we try
[mary j blige]
can't we turn love around
we build it up to break it down
if you knew the way i feel
you would know that this love is real
but live in heaven, go to hell then
go right back, across the lesson
tired of stressin', get the message
i can't live in this depression no more
boy, you know i love you
but i just can't go on feeling like this no more
[chorus]
got me sayin' why, why, why?
can't we get it right?
just can't get it right
don't know why, why, why?
can't we get it right
no matter how hard we try
(To all the youth in the world that thinks nobody understands...
Well I understand that)
It's been hard for me
Trying strugglin' in the streets
But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at
And where I'm going- Is not where I'm stoppin' at
It's been hard for me
Trying strugglin' in the streets
But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at
And where I'm going- Is not where I'm stoppin' at
I grew up as a 70's baby
Brought up in poverty and sin
Makin' jokes at the crazy lady
Never cared how she was dealin' within
I knew all the words to
Micheal Jackson's album as a kid
And when it came to the biggest crusher
No he wasn't my man
At the age of seven years old
A strange thing happened to me
Before I even saw
My life had flashed before me
And I've got the mark to show
And it became a thang of beauty
So I gotta let you know
That my life, that my life
It's been hard for me
Trying strugglin' in the streets
But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at
And where I'm going- Is not where I'm stoppin' at
It's been hard for me
Trying strugglin' in the streets
But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at
And where I'm going- Is not where I'm stoppin' at
It's been hard for me
Trying strugglin' in the streets
But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at
And where I'm going- Is not where I'm stoppin' at
Now mama's workin' hard all day
And she said this before she left home
Take care of your little brother
Have the place cleaned when I get home
All these priorities
Me and Tanya had to learn to be grown
But at the time for me
Being grown had seemed so lone
Woke up and I'm seventeen
With nothing going for me
Except the fact that I sing
You know it hurts so much
From all the sights that I've seen
From abusin' the hole in trust
You probably couldn't take some of things
That I've lived in my life
It's been hard for me
Trying strugglin' in the streets
But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at
And where I'm going- Is not where I'm stoppin' at
It's been hard for me
Trying strugglin' in the streets
But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at
And where I'm going- Is not where I'm stoppin' at
It's been hard for me
Trying strugglin' in the streets
But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at
And where I'm going- Is not where I'm stoppin' at
It's hard and the street's a jungle (I'm telling you, I'm telling you)
Especially with your pretty colors (I'm telling you, I'm telling you)
So stay low and keep it humble (I'm telling you, I'm telling you)
Black women hold it down, keep your feet on the ground
Black men keep searching and you'll be found
It's been hard for me
Trying strugglin' in the streets
But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at
And where I'm going- Is not where I'm stoppin' at
It's been hard for me
Trying strugglin' in the streets
But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at
And where I'm going- Is not where I'm stoppin' at
In this world of continuous bullshit and full clips
Seems all we have to pass down is being useless
Broken homes, babies all alone, parent's never there
No food, no clothes to wear, anger everywhere
Ain't no values being taught, no productive thoughts
Jealousy rules the world, take shit at any cost
Gotta change our state of life, keep it worth livin'
God gave us voices to speak and that's our way of givin'
It's so much bigger than the furs and the jewels
What about encouragin' the youth to do well
What about givin' back- what about unifying
Shit we all black- get it together
Everybody's got their trials and tribulations
Learn to change the negative to positive situations
Don't hold the lessons that you learn
Pass it on and except the blessings that could earn
It's been hard for me
Trying strugglin' in the streets
But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at
Just can't help it
I love my hun
All that I need
And all that
I want
Said I
Just can't help it
I love my hun
All that I need
And all that I want
Everybody asking
"Why Mary ain't mad no more?"
It seems
Like a question
That I've already answered
Like too many
Times before

Sometimes I don't get a chance to really tell you
But I promise you, my love will never fail you
Don't you get it? Right now, we're writing history
A thousand years from now, they'll talk about you and me
I know sometimes I go hard for no reason at all
Put your soul through the business and test the weight of your heart
'Cause when your back's on the wall and there's a shortage of friends
You know that I'm with you until the end
We got hood love
I be cussin', I be screamin' like it's over
Then I'm longin', then I'm fiening just to hold ya
'Cause that's how we do
You know that hood love is good love, that's me and you
How you feel love? When I'm with you, never quit you
Now that's real love, when you ain't here then I miss you
'Cause I still love the way that we do
You know that hood love is good love
That's me and you
Sometimes I think about leaving you
But when I think about what we've been through, yeah
I get a feeling like it could be the worst
'Cause I've given you my best and I don't mind it, that's fine
'Cause when you love somebody hard then you'll love that way for life
You got all of my heart and I'll never leave your side
I gave my word to love you all the way to the end
So no matter what I'll be right here
I'll be right here 'cause we got hood love
We got hood love

Now that's real love, when you ain't here then I miss you
'Cause I still love the way that we do
You know that hood love is good love
That's me and you
Now I play tough but not for too long
You are someone I depend on
No matter how I act at times, I could never walk away
I thought about it plenty times, but no one could take your place
Well, if there ain't no you, then there ain't no me
And if there ain't no us, then I'd rather be
By myself 'cause no one else
Can know just what I need and really understand me
We got hood love
I be cussin', I be screamin' like it's over
Then I'm longin', then I'm fiening just to hold ya
'Cause that's how we do
You know that hood love is good love, that's me and you
How you feel love? When I'm with you, never quit you
Now that's real love, when you ain't here then I miss you
'Cause I still love the way that we do
You know that hood love is good love

Featuring: Chris Brown
We've been through the storm
We've been through it all
We had some close calls
But never would fall
We climbed all the mountains
Walked through all the valleys
And you never left me behind
I found my way through the clouds
No more runnin' scared and closing my eyes, oh
I will be true, this love from my heart
I'm laying my life on the line
Oh, I will survive
As long as it's you by my side
I will survive
As long as it's you by my side
I'm stronger, stronger, stronger
I'm stronger, stronger, stronger
They said we wouldn't make it
But guess what, we made it
And we got them wondering how
You were always for me
Never been the one to hurt me
You gave me peace of mind
I found my way through the clouds
No more runnin' scared and closing my eyes, oh
I will be true, this love from my heart
I'm laying my life on the line
Oh, I will survive
As long as it's you by my side
I will survive
As long as it's you by my side
I'm stronger, stronger, stronger
I'm stronger, stronger, stronger
Sometimes I can't believe
That you are with me
There's nobody lucky as me
So I get on my knees
To make sure that He
Knows that I'm grateful
For what He gave me
I will survive
I will survive
As long as it's you by my side
I will survive
I will survive
I'm stronger, stronger
I'm stronger, stronger
I'm stronger, stronger

I'll front your navel
What it costs, I'm able to make you happy
Whatever's the back fo' dot six in the navy
Blankets and pillows fluffed up
And we shine like we puffed up
Blowin that dro till we fucked up

All his honey he wild like I stole his money
His gold is honey, my gold is money
He can have my wife, while me and you live that lavish life
With your V-Secrets satin tight, thongs and bras
I'm hoping to God this ain't no mirage.
Steal away, steal away
Leave for a day, we'll never say

For one night let's share the moon

Did you know...
That I love you.
Did you know...
And I want you.
I'll admit things ain't been the way I thought they would be.
Didn't expect so much stress to develop between me and you.
I knew that it wasn't easy but sometimes when we fight it don't seems like God's design.
But then I hear words you said and I promised I would stand for you and be true through the bad and the good.
And I know what it means to be committed.
So here's a word for you but you just ain't with it.

And it's gonna make us smile. (Make us smile)
Cause in the end we stayed down. (Stayed down)
Understand you are the one of my heart.
(And I'm holding yours so we can't live apart)
When things stop making sense we'll figure it out.
(I walked into this and I don't wanna walk out no, no)
(Everything ain't gonna be how we like)
(And what is worth keeping if it didn't take a fight?)
(Your healing is in me and my healing is in you)
(So get your mind right cause this's what we're gonna do)
Stay down. (We're almost to the very best part)
Stay down. (You'll always be the pride in my heart)

Looking for someone to love me
I’m-m-m looking for someone to love me
Yeh-yeh-yeh-yeah
I’m no angel
There so much I can take
Calm down, patience
Don’t lose your temper hold on wait
I’ve got issues just like you
Sometimes I get so confused
I’m strong but I can break
I’ll be praying so hard
To get through the day
Bad thoughts in my mind I can’t shake
Having nightmares in the day can you relate?
Please somebody kindly wake me
I can’t let this cold world take me
I’m looking
[Lil Wayne]
It’s my life, my life, word to Mary
N-ggas can’t f-ck with me, Virgin Mary
Go ahead make my day, dirty Harry
Weezy, f-ck the World pop ya cherry
Everybody pushing but I don’t fall back
And everybody looking but blind to the fact
The clock on the wall say it’s time for some action
Now you can take that to the bank and cash in
I’m feeling myself, f-ck if they feeling me
Can’t spell them without me
It’s them or me
Yesterday was a memory
Looking in the mirror at my enemy
But today I’m…
Looking for someone to love me
I’m-Im-Im looking for someone to love me
Yeh-yeh-yeh-yeah
[Diddy]
My drama, my karma
My love my life, dear drama
The war’s I’ve fought, scars that I’ve garnered
The hustle, I got that honest from my father
Mix me with violence, blend me with peace
Combine me with hate and I can’t face defeat (nope)
I did it all in a week
Still incomplete as I stand on my feet
It take a lot to still dance to the beat
Skin more cold and callous than concrete
I love swimming but theres just one ski
In a rich man’s hotel with bed sheets
Uh ah, you know what I’m looking for
Looking for someone to love me
I’m-Im-Im looking for someone to love me
Yeh-yeh-yeh-yeah
My rise, my falls
Enemies wanna see me crawl
My ups, my downs
Ya’ll know I’ve been around
But sometimes it bothers me
When I hear people say a non truth
Am I sane, am I crazy
Pick one there all the same
In this World we’re living in
I’mma make mistakes, I’m only human
I was…
Looking for someone to love me
I’m-Im-Im looking for someone to love me
Maybe it'll rain today
And I won't have to leave my room
Givin' me the time
I need to get rid of your things
Enough procrastinating
For reasons that only I know
But I'm afraid to ask the mirror
The answers may sting
And the smoke
In my eyes makes it hard not to cry
Why you gone?
The reason is suppose to make sense
But it don't
Give me something
To spark the flame
Take away the paint
Take it away
I can feel the heat
From my face
Holding on isn't healthy
But it's killin' me
To let go
Trying to stare
At your picture
But I can't see it
For all this smoke
Not for all the smoke
And the smoke
In my eyes makes it hard not to cry
Why you gone?
The reason is suppose to make sense
But it don't
But it don't
It don't
It don't
Oh, it don't
Maybe it'll rain today
And I won't have to leave my room
Givin' me the time to
Get rid of your things
Enough procrastinating
For reasons that only I know
But I'm afraid to ask the mirror
The answers may sting
And the smoke
In my eyes makes it hard not to cry
Why you gone?
The reason is suppose to make sense
But it don't
Give me something to spark the flame
Take away the pain
Take it away
I can feel the heat
From my face
Give me something to spark the flame
Take away the pain
Take it away
I can feel the heat
From my face
Give me something to spark the flame
Take away the pain
Take it away
I can feel the heat
- Can't have you if I wanted to
Can't let you get away from me
Can have you if I wanted to
Can't let you go, no
Looking in my mirror
Thinking 'bout last night
I can't help but see you
Running often through my mind
You were saying, Mary
Don't let go, hold tight
I just wanna hold you
All through the night
- This is something that I can't deny
Boy you know your touch just drives me wild
Won't you take my hand, I'll set you free
I want you to belong to me
Oh, oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh
Uh, uh-huh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh-huh, uh
Yo, yo, yo
You might bump into the 'Kiss late night
On the Deegan, speeding
In the drop four-thirty, on my way to rock a birdie
With automatic lead in the car, bread in the car
Plus I'm gettin' head in the car
My wedding tomorrow
More dutchies to the head, the redder you are
After the session with shorty
I'll be better tomorrow
And you know how we are
We always keep more than two
That don't say much
Like to hit a blunt or two
Or don't mind driving with raw in the trunk
Or freaking off for the week
Top flow in the trunk
Just laying back blowing
Twenty five's a skull
The Akitas by the door with bow ties and puffs
Can't let me get away
But you ain't ready for 'Kiss
Got the Chevy and the Six
Wrists heavy and shit
Matter of fact we gonna take a trip
And put the daps up
And cop the pink lemonade Cadillac truck
Can't have you if I wanted to
Can't have you
Can't let you go, no
Can't have you if I wanted to
Can't have you
I've been searching for someone
But never looked before my eyes
There you were to my surprise
It was so obvious looking into your face
After playing a game of truth or dare
I wanted to stay at your place
I never thought that I would fall in love with you
But since the day we kissed I knew it had to be you
I never thought we would be together
I can't believe I just made love to you
After all the things that we've been through
Now what are we gonna do? Ohh
Monday, a friend of mine, Tuesday, we played a game
Wednesday, you went away, Thursday, things weren't the same
On Friday, you came back I wanted to kiss you on Saturday
On Sunday we made love, now what are we gonna do?
As much as I, I want you I don't wanna wreck a friend
I've already found in you
I've been there before and I can't ignore
How two friends became one but walked away with none
I cannot risk a friend but the love is so good
I gotta make a choice I would if I could
I never thought we would be together, how can I address you?
"Hey lover?", "Hi friend!" "How ya doin'?", "Where ya been?"
I gotta make a choice
Monday, a friend of mine, Tuesday, we played a game
Wednesday, you went away, Thursday, things weren't the same
On Friday, you came back I wanted to kiss you on Saturday
On Sunday we made love, now what are we gonna do?
Monday, a friend of mine, Tuesday, we played a game
Wednesday, you went away, Thursday, things weren't the same
On Friday, you came back I wanted to kiss you on Saturday
On Sunday we made love, now what are we gonna do?
Monday
Things weren't the same
On Monday we made sweet sweet love, Tuesday, we played a game
On Sunday we made love, now what are we gonna do?
Monday, a friend of mine, Tuesday, we played a game
Sitting here all alone on Valentine's Day
I really wanna call him up
But my pride is all in the way, hey
Picture's getting clearer
I see what's been going wrong for years
The ones you say are far, really are so near
I'm thinking of
- Roses that you sent to me
All the kisses that you gave to me
Memories of what we used to be
All alone this special day
Thinking 'bout the time you went away
Valentine's Day will never be the same
How come men nowadays bring you so much joy
And so much pain
Can anybody help me?
I think I'm going insane
Valentine's Day will never be the same
Cause I think about you always
I cherish everything you gave to me
I'm thinking of
You took my love for granted
Then you mean to think that
Everything was fine between me and you
Everytime this day comes around
I wanna feel your touch
I can't believe what you did to me
I hate cha, did me wrong
But still I must move on
See today I'm having one of them days where
I just don't want to be bothered,
but it seems like you can't understand that because it's your way or no way,
but check this out
And I'm really, really sick and tired of you steppin' into my little box
When I just don't want to be bothered okay, so check this out.
I've had my ways, and I've had my share of ups and downs.
I been in trouble, and I couldn't tell my ups from downs
I been your baby, and I don't know why you don't seem like that no more
welcome to the new definition of love.
It ain't all roses hey,
flowers imposing hey
said it ain't all candy hey
this love stuff is demanding hey
Sometimes I need a hug
See you just really wanna push all my buttons
Cause you Mr. Right & I'm Mrs. Wrong,
But right now today,
I'm going to be the one to sing this song
I'm going be Mrs. Right today it's my way, or the highway
With you there's just no getting around that I got to be bumping heads with you
What's up with that?
Listen see
I love my man, and I know my place I know my worth
I just can't stand
to see myself as I hurt
it's been along time, and I think that I can get a little more love from you
I know some of yall go through it too cause
Sometimes I just wish you would just put your arms around me
When I'm feeling so
very needy
But instead you just turn your back and say "suck it up"
oh you don't know how I feel right now
If you knew how I'm feeling on the inside you wouldn't say "suck it up"
Now what tha' cause
It' aint' all roses you know,
Everybody ask me how good it is?
It's great love is great
When you just a mess yourself, it ain't gone be all roses.
Cause you just want your time
You wanna be selfish
You know you don't want nobody messing with you
You just want to rip somebodies head off when they try to step to you with some "Oh! You need
some help, Oh! You need to figure it out" You figure it out
You go figure It out, you suck
Yes indeed once again
For those who don't know
What the sounds of the youngest DJ in charge
Ron G
I wanna say whassup to Mary
And this that uptown classic
Give it to 'em
Take 'em uptown to the Polo Ground
Take 'em uptown to the Polo Ground
Take 'em uptown to the Polo Ground
Take 'em uptown to the Polo Ground
We are lovers true and through
And though we made it through the storm
I really want you to realize
I really want to put you on
I've been searching for someone
To satisfy my every need
Won't you be my inspiration
Be the real love that I need
- Real love
I'm searching for the real love
Someone to set my heart free
Real love
I'm searching for a real love
Oh when I met you I just knew
That you would take my heart and run
Until you told me how you felt for me
You said I'm not the one
So I slowly came to see
All of the things that you were made of
And now I hope my dreams and inspiration
Lead me towards a real love
I've got to have a real love
Love so true and oh, baby
I thought that love was you
I thought you were the answer
To the question in my mind
But it seems that I was wrong
If I stay strong maybe I'll find a
Look up in the sky
It's a bird, it's a plane
Nope, it's Mary Jane, ain't a damn thing changed
Kickin' ill flava with the Teflon Don
Record shop getting props
She got it goin' on
So what's it gonna be?
The real one, the fake one
Ya need a minute to think for whom ya better take
What up? My time is up
Peace out to brooklyn
Helpin' daddy-o hey yo, bring the verse in
So I try my best and pray to God
He'd send me someone real
To caress me and to guide me
Towards a love my heart can feel
Now I know I can be faithful
I can be your all and all
And give you good lovin' through the summertime
Winter, spring and fall
You see I'm searching for a real love
And I don't know where to go
I've been around the world and high and low
And still will never know
How it feels to have a real love
Cuz it seems there's none around
I gotta end it in this way
Because seems he can't be found
It's that flavor

Our love
Will be for the whole world to see
Our love
will change people's wrongs to rights
And will never die
Cause we will always have each other
Break it down
Just a little
Because love is soft, love is sweet
Love is nice, love is gentle
Love is joy, love is pain
Love is light when you're in the rain
I got love on my mind
Love is always right on time
Love is you, love is me
Love is just a little baby
(Our love) I got love on my mind
Love is always right on time time
Love is you, love is me
Love is gonna set you free
This is another one of those heartbreak hotel joints for the ladies
Why won't u grow up & be a man someday
I can't believe that you're still playing silly games
Now why do I put up w/ all this child's play
Now if your word is all you have
Then u ain't worth a damn thing
Promises you told me every day
That you made you never ever kept
By me I really want to believe
But not today, not today, not today, not today
You're the worst
I can't even depend on u
U say a lot of good things
But something else u always do
Be a man of your word
Try to love something other than u
But now u can be on your way
Cause I don't want you to stay
Promises bout our house
Bout the kids
Lifestyle we would live
Who the fuck you really is
In my face
All the time
Spittin' line after line
Broke down my wall and you got in my mind
You's a fake shoulda known
All the signs I was shown
Believed what I saw
And your cover was blown
Breakup, leave
Make up, please
You's a magician all them tricks up your sleeve
Had me for a minute
I was in it
U played good
But I'mma get you
Gotta get it
I'mma make moves
And I'mma leave you where you at dog, chill
Go back to square one
Wait for something real
Selfish nigga
Could have helped you nigga
Usually know betta but I felt you nigga
I guess getting in my head was a part of the plan
Cause in reality the only thing you giving me is
Promises you told me every day
That you made you never ever kept
By me I really want to believe
But not today, not today, not today, not today
Don't let him waste your time girl
He's only telling lies girl
And when he apologizes (and he will)
Don't be believing that man
Cause he gon' do it again
Promises you told me every day
That you made you never ever kept
By me I really want to believe
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, woooo
Seen many men in my time
But none of them compare to mine
I ain't gotta knock on wood
To tell y’all that I got it so good
He's everything that I need and
All that a man should be
Put me on a flight if I wanna
Buy out the mall if I wanna
And I know ya'll heard before
These same old metaphors
My love is so much more
I don’t wanna change it
I don’t wanna do without ya baby
Cause he’s just above the rest
I must confess the best
Love that I’ve ever had
And I just gotta let you know this
Don’t let ‘em tell you nothing different
You’re the only one I’m needing
I don’t want no one but you
Baby no one will do
And what they say don’t even matter
They don’t know what I know about ya
I don’t want no one but you
Baby no one will do
It’s me and him through the wire
Cause when it comes to love he delivers
My personal UPS
I’m sending him an SOS
That I love him and I want him
And don’t wanna replace him with nobody else
I’mma keep holding on
I’mma keep the loving strong, ayayyyy
I don’t want nobody, nobody, nobody, no, no, no, no-body but you
I don’t want nobody, I don’t want nobody
Many have called but the chosen are few
The best of the few is you
You know exactly what to do
Baby, your time is so perfect
Why in the hell I deserve it
Keep on doin' what you do
No one else
No one else
Can do me like you do me
No one else
No, no one else
Can do me like you do me
Happy 1 plus happy 1 is 2
Happy 2 is me and you
Our love was meant to be
Yes, we have our up's and down's
But some how we came around
And we made each other love so free
Can't lie
Now I'm satisfied
Yes I'm satisfied
Even when I cry
Won't stray
Stray away from you
I would be a fool
First of all we the one and only
Infamous and Mary Blige
Coming straight ghetto poetry
And ain't nothing changed but the size of the money
I'm still that same 'g'
Can you say the same thing?
Must be blind to the fact Mary Queen on the wax
We the king on the streets
Ain't know where your heart is
Look inside and you'll find an entertainer
One of a kind
That's way ahead of her time
Take a look
I need to know
If you can get into my mind
Stimulate it
Give me good love all the time
Or are you just another man
That's after me for all my paper
Looking for a ride that's free
Deep inside I wish you'd see
That I'm just plain old Mary
Deep inside I wish you'd see
That I'm just plain old, plain old Mary
Now you see for seven years I've lived life openly
So it's hard to find someone who really knows me
So I say the things just so that you can know
That you can't be with me
If you're trying to chase my dough
If you take away the house
And you take away the clothes I wear
And you take away the diamonds
I'mma still be standing here
And if you take away the ice and the money
I will always be my nigga's favorite honey
And if you take away the car I drive
I'mma still be Mary Blige
Deep inside I wish you'd see
That I'm just plain old Mary
Deep inside I wish you'd see
That I'm just plain old, plain old Mary
We'll separate the bullshit from the truth
Straight up, I ain't got time for new friends
I need paper we came up from the trenches
It was like pulling teeth without sedation
From the benches to the Bentley seats
Nigga we the M-O-B-B
What you ain't heard?
You can't see?
Ever since the cash they wanna hound P
Oh now you got L-O-V-E for me
Doing this for about a decade Mobb and Mary
Troopers in the game with a heavy load to carry
After all the trials and tribulations
Rumors we faced, the media invading our space
That's the price you gotta pay
Take away by size of whips
I'mma just plain old me at the end of the day
You can say what you choose
God gonna see me through
Criticize all you want till your face is blue
I know you see
If you take away the house
And you take away the clothes I wear
And you take away the diamonds
I'mma still be standing here
And if you take away the ice and the money
I will always be my nigga's favorite honey
And if you take away the car I drive
I'mma still be Mary Blige
Deep inside I wish you'd see
That I'm just plain old Mary
Deep inside I wish you'd see
Featuring Diddy
[P. Diddy]
Here we go again
Yeah, that's right
Here we go again
Ha Ha, yeah
This is the remix
Back together again
Let's go Mary
[Mary]
All the love we gave
The loving that we made
Then you went away (that's right)
So I had to pray
See a brighter day
Cause silence let us pray
Now I'm moving on to get away from all this pain
[Chorus]
I feel (I feel)
Better than I felt before (so much better)
Cause there's no more drama knocking at my door
I feel
Better than I felt before
Cause there's no more drama in my life no more
No More
No More
No More
[Diddy]
This is the remix
I like this, come'on
[Mary]
It's looking better now
A brand new love I found
I finially figured out
What love is all about
And now I'm on my way
And all I have to say
Is there'll be no crying and I truely believe that
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
It's time
To realize (people it's time)
It's up
To you and I
Love is what you make it
If you don't give up the fight
All this really means
Assuring me
Believe in all you dream
[P. Diddy]
Eh yo Mary
I don't think they ready for this one
Yo it's the D I D again, D to the weezy
Been in the game twelve years it ain't easy
Been in dem things got game that so breezy
Spendin' them things with a chain that's so freezy
Please believe me, TV need me
As far as the CD, pump that on GP
What's the 411 hun, it's PD
MJB collabo with BB
Period, no question no comma
Your hearing is no vest and no armour
Bring it to cats like Bush to Osama
Sippin on vu, make moves and no scama
Word to my mama
Can't deal with the trama
That why a nigga stay in the Bahamas
Laying in pajamas
Two sexy mamas
Bodyguards, topguns, two extra lamas
I don't want no drama
[Chorus: 2x]
No more, no more, no more
No more drama y'all
It's so hard
But I got to say
No more,I said no more, no more
No more, no more, no more
(Diddy)
This is the remix
Mary J Blige
No more drama
BadBoy bady
Oh help me, oh help me
I'm tired of this drama
I'm tired of this drama
I'm tired of this drama
I'm tired of this drama
I'm tired of this drama
No more pain, no more pain
No more pain, no more pain
No more pain, no more pain
No more pain, no more pain
No more pain, no more pain tired of hurtin'
No more pain, no more pain tired of hurtin'
No more pain, no more pain, no
No more pain, no more pain, no
I am 'bout to lose my mind
I am 'bout to lose my mind
I am 'bout to lose my mind
Lord help me, help me
I am 'bout to lose my mind
I am 'bout to lose my mind
I am 'bout to lose my mind
Lord help me, help me
Sayin', no more pain, no more pain, no
No more pain, no more pain, no
No more tears, I'm tired of cryin' every night
No more fears, I really don't wanna cry
No more drama in my life
I am 'bout to lose my mind
I am 'bout to lose my mind
I am 'bout to lose my mind
I don't ever wanna hurt again
Sometimes, tired of all this drama
Tired of all this drama
Pain, no more pain
No drama, no more in my life
Broken heart again another lesson learnt
Better know your friends or else you will get burn
Gotta count on me 'cause I can guarantee
That I'll be fine, oh help me
No more pain, no more pain
No more drama in my life
No one's gonna make me hurt again
Why'd I play the fool, go through ups and downs?
Knowin' and all the time you wouldn't be around
Or maybe I like the stress 'cause I was young and restless
But that was long ago, I don't wanna cry no more
No more pain, no more pain
No more game
No more drama in my life
No one's gonna make me hurt again, no
No more tears, I'm tired of cryin' every night
No more fears, I really don't wanna cry
No more drama in my life
I don't ever wanna hurt again
It feel so good when you let go
Avoid this drama in your life
Now you're free from all the pain
Free from all the game, free from all the stress
So buy your happiness
I don't know, only God knows where the story is
For me, but I know where the story begins
It's up to us to choose whether we win or loose
And I choose to win
I am 'bout to lose my mind
I am 'bout to lose my mind
I am 'bout to lose my mind
Lord help me, help me, say
No more pain, tired of hurtin'
Tired of your playin' games with my mind
No more, no more, no more, no more, no more, no more
No more, no more tears, no more cryin' every night
No more waking me up in the morning every day
Leave me alone, go ahead
No, no, no I'm tired
No more games I'm tired, I'm so tired
No more, no more
No more, no more
No more, no more
No more, no more
No more, no more
No more, no more
No more, no more
No more, no more
Oh no, oh I'm tired of all this drama
Go ahead, go ahead
I'm 'bout to lose my mind
Lord help me, help me, say
No, no more drama, no more
No more, no more, no more drama
I need a peace of mind, peace of mind
Need help, I need peace of mind, peace of mind
Need help, I need peace of mind, peace of mind
Peace of mind, peace of mind
Lord help me, help me
Lord help me, help me
Oh no, oh no, no more, no more, no more drama
No more, no more drama
Sometimes, tired of all this drama
Tired of all this drama
Tired of all this drama
Tired of all this drama
Tired of all this drama
Tired of all this drama

I've never been touched like this- I've never been
I've never been kissed like this- I've never been
I never knew it felt like this- I never knew
I never knew a love like this
Pardon me- excuse me- forgive me- I can't help it
But I see- the energy- 'tween you and me- and I'm selfish
Don't want no- other girls- calling you- never ever
Cause I want- us to stay- together- forever
I've never been touched like this- I've never been
I've never been kissed like this- I've never been
I never knew it felt like this- I never knew
I never knew a love like this
Believe me- when I say- there is no one- I mean none
That can do- the things you do- the things you did- and get done
And I believe- that I can feel- this way- for a reason
In all the ways- you make me feel- boy you keep- me breathing
I've never been touched like this- I've never been
I've never been kissed like this- I've never been
I never knew it felt like this- I never knew
I never knew a love like this
What you got- Them others don't- Cause you're the one I want
You make me hot- Them others don't- Cause baby you're the one I love
What you got- Them others don't- Cause you're the one I want
You make me hot- Them others don't- Cause baby you're the one I love
I've never been touched like this- I've never been
I've never been kissed like this- I've never been
I never knew it felt like this- I never knew
I never knew a love like this
I've never been touched like this- I've never been
I've never been kissed like this- I've never been
I never knew it felt like this- I never knew
(My life, my life, my life, my life in the sunshine)
If you looked in my life
And see what I've seen
If you looked in my life
And see what I've seen
If you looked in my life
And see what I've seen
If you looked in my life
And see what I've seen
(My life, my life, my life, my life in the sunshine)
Life can be only what you make it
When you're feelin' down
You should never fake it
Say what's on your mind
And you'll find in time
That all the negative energy
It would all cease
And you'll be at peace with yourself
You won't really need no one else
Except for the man up above
Because he'll give you love
(My life, my life, my life, my life)
If you looked into my life
If you looked in my life
And see what I've seen
If you looked in my life
And see what I've seen
If you looked in my life
And see what I've seen
If you looked in my life
And see what I've seen
Take your time
Baby don't you rush a thing
Don't you know, I know
We all are struggling
I know it is hard but we will get by
And if you don't believe in me
Just believe in He
'Cause he'll give you peace of mind, yes he will
And you'll see the sunshine for real, yes you would
And you'll get to free your mind
And things will turn out fine
Oh, I know that things will turn out fine
Yes they would, yes they would
(My life, my life, my life, my life in the sunshine)
If you looked in my life
And see what I've seen
If you looked in my life
And see what I've seen
If you looked in my life
And see what I've seen
If you looked in my life
And see what I've seen
(My life, my life, my life, my life)
If you looked in my life
And see what I've seen
If you looked in my life
And see what I've seen
(My life, my life, my life, my life)
If you looked in my life
And see what I've seen
If you looked in my life
Oh, it's been such a long long time
Looks like I'd get you off of my mind
But I can't
Just the thought of you, my love
And my whole world turns misty blue
Oh, honey, just the mention of your name
Turns the flicker to a flame
Listen to me good baby
I think of the things that we used to do
And my whole world turns misty blue
Baby, baby, baby, baby
When I say that I'm glad we're through
Deep in my heart, I know I've lied, I've lied
Baby, baby, when I say that I'm glad we're through
Oh, deep in my heart, I know I've lied
I know I've lied
Oh, oh, hey
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, I can't forget you
Heaven knows I try, heaven knows I try
And, oh, hey, hey, hey
Oh, no I can't, no I can't, oh, I can't, I can't forget you
And my whole world turns misty blue
Hey, hey, yeah
Oh, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, I can't
Said I can't forget you
If you know the song, sing along
Ooh, cause my whole world turns misty blue
And I wanna say, before I go right now tonight y'all
BecauseI don't have any thing else unless
You wanna hear it
I wanna say from the bottom of my heart
Now I really know what love is
>From a distance
And it's real love
And I wanna thank each and every one of you
For supporting me, cause I couldn't have done it without you
And I'd be misty blue if I didn't have your love
And if it was you
oh, no no no...
I know
That you're just a man
But you're all the man I need
And I know
That you care and you'll never leave
No, you'll never leave
I love you so
I can't let go
You know it's real
The way I feel
I want to stay
I'll try to wait
On you my dear
My love's sincere
You promised
That you never would cheat or lie
Lie to me, don't lie to me babe
And you promised
That you'd trust and believe in me
Please believe in me
Unnecessary pain (pain is pain)
Now tell me who would get the pain
(You know it hurts)
If we should go astray
What would we do
What would we say
I wanna stay
You know I'll wait
I wanna stay
I'll try to wait on you, my dear
Baby you know, Baby you know
Baby you know, Baby you know
I wanna stay forever and a day
Oh, I love you
Oh, I need you
Everything is gonna be alright
You know I'll try to wait
I love you baby, love you baby yeahhh
Why can't we work it out
Why baby? can't we try (why, why, why, why, why)
You said our love would always stand the test of time
Let's take our time
Let's build our love
Oooooh baby, Not tonight
I don't wanna fuss n fight
I just wanna make it right
Ooh, ooh there's work to do
I wanna get real close to you
I wanna get you in the mood
All the things you want to do
Just relax and I'll take care of you
And anytime you want me
I'm sayin that I love you every day
And I know that you love me
Baby, admit it
Give me all your love and don't stop
My love's waiting when you reach the top
(All night long)
Come into my bedroom honey
What I got will make you spend money
(All night long)
You know that I know that you love me
So if you just give me a chance
I can still show you romance
I know that you still savin' for
My flavor babe
So stop playin' hard to get
Let's make love like we first met
All the things you want to do
Just relax and I'll take care of you
And anytime you want me
I'm sayin that I love you everyday
And I know that you love me
Baby, mm baby
And I'll say
Shoo do do do do do do do doo
shoo do do do do do do do doo
Lookin' at you from a distance
Gettin' all of my attention
Could this be love at first sight, baby
You walked away and I missed you
Visions of wanting to kiss you
How could this be if I don't really know you?
Ohh baby, baby
Could it be love at first sight?
And I never knew that I, could fall in love on the very first night
Could this be love?
You had on the latest fashion
It was a bigger attraction
It drew me closer and closer to you, yeah, baby
I never done anything like this
But you I just could not resist
I swallowed my pride and stepped to your side
Or could it be - be
I wanna know if you could call me up (could you call me up sometime? please)
And maybe someday we just might hook up, could this love at first sight?
Once again, it's that other M&M; now
How many women feelin' him?
Somebody call the coroner, quick, Mary is killin 'em
Tell 'em what's the 411 and who came runnin'
When Clef dialed 911 from shots comin'
This somethin' for the radio, guest starring M.C.
Johnny Blazin' the hip hop and R&B;
What, ya'll thought ya wasn't gon' see me
You can't spell Mary J. Blige without a J.B.
Well back to the matter, and it's sex on the platter
She only wanna be happy and I ain't mad at her
You go momma, nowadays, I'm more calmer
And if you take a look at my life, no more drama
Now you know, you searchin' for a Wu-Tang pro
You find me, just bout everywhere the poontang go
Now you know, feel me like your favorite love song
What's up, this is Mary, leave a message, and I'll holla back, peace
Yo, yo Mary, pick up the phone girl
Ay yo Mary, pick up the phone girl
Hello?
Ay yo, what's up?
What's up Puff?
Girl you ready?
I'm always ready
It's about that time again
This the moment they all been waiting for
Time to take it back to the gutter
The queen of hip-hop soul
Oohh, live your life cos life is love
Always thank the man above (thank you, uh)
The more you the more you get (that's real talk)
Yeah, yeah (let me warm it up for ya)
Who better than Usher you back through the gutter
Than America's number one hustler (Sean Carter)
Don't call it or come back
Unless there's some money attached to that
And you can call it whatever you like, in fact
It's something like a phenomenon
Like I'm a younger bro
Taking my hostile games gone
TV just for dunkin on
Whoever want it with Sean he can get it jumpin like Donkey Kong
We could get it thumpin like bum-ba-bum
Travel the way of the gun, come on, c-come on
No, I'm not only beggin I'm eggin you on
Until you dead or gone that's the vendetta I'm on
This ain't no video game with wrestlers on it
The competitor on this is on some shit
On this come through all black like a Amish
Holsters under the armpit, the arm spit, ha
Just that Brooklyn don shit
Along with the queen from Yonkers
Come on kiss the ring
Fore I let miss Mary sing
Supposed to you a soul in the everything, yeah
It's classic material
I see you bastards at the burial
Jay go first and then Mary go, round
I just ride, hole her down with the fifth by my side
Me and miss Blige
Look up in the sky it's a bird a that came
In the hydro flow that I bought to the game
I could go mo' but I'm a let ma do her thang
Brooklyn, we did it again
I can't really explain what it is about her
I don't know it's just, it's something special
Ain't nobody like her, there's only one Mary
Only one queen of hip-hop soul
This is for the little child with no father
For that man that doesn't have a place to stay
And for that little boy living with AIDS
[Now tell your story, tell your story]
You can lean on me
There's a man
Standing on the corner
He has no home, he has no food
And his blue skies are gone
Can't you hear him crying out
And there's a girl
Searching for a father and a friend
Praying that the storm someday will end
But instead of walkin' away
Open up your heart and say
I am here
You don't have to worry, I can see your tears
I'll be there in a hurry when you call
Friends are there to catch you when you fall
Here's my shoulder, you can lean on me
Oh, there's a child who is sick and begging to be free
But there is no cure for his disease
He looks up to his mother as
She hold, his hand
Prayin' that someday the sun will shine again
And the pain, pain will end, come on
I am here
You don't have to worry, I can see
Your tears
I'll be there in a hurry when you call
Friends are there to catch you when you fall
Here's my shoulder, you can lean on me
Tell me how can I, how can I love Jesus
When I never seen His face
Yet I see you dying
And I turn and walk away
So hold my hand, let me take you to a friend of mine
He's waiting just to ease your troubled mind
Instead of walkin' away, open up
Open up your heart and say
I am here
You don't have to worry, I can see your tears
I'll be there in a hurry when you call
Friends'll be there to catch you when, catch you when you fall, ooh
Thank you Jesus, yeah
Here's my shoulder, you can lean on me
Here's my shoulder, you can lean on me
Here's my shoulder, you can lean on me
Here's my shoulder, you could lean on me
[John Legend:]
From the very first time
Back when
I met you
At school
I looked
In your eyes
Saw something
Special in you
We inspire that we
We'll be American dream
Escape this reality
Come start a new one with me
We could be
Neighbourhood royalty
Or much more
Than that
You'll see
We're making history
We'll go
To the mass
Fly to heaven
And back
The highest heights
Imagine
Yes, we can do
All of that baby
[John's Hook:]
La, la, la,
La, la, la
La, la, la
La, la,
We could be
King and queen someday
La, la, la,
La, la, la
La, la, la
La, la,
We'll never
Throw our

I prayed so many nights for you and then my prayers came true
Now that I have the answer, I'll be wishing on a star
I'll follow you where you are
I don't wanna be alone so baby let's stay together

All those pretty memories,
I know you can hear me now
For the record,
I love you, I love you
When I found out that you were leaving me,
I couldn't sleep thinking about
All the things that we've been through
Now all that I want to do
Is tell you that I, (I)
Miss you...so much...
(You know I really really miss you...)
Now that I'm on my own
I know that in time I'll find somebody new
(Who'll treat me better than you)
So I'll go all alone without you
But I still love you
You know I'll never live without you
I wish you'd change your ways soon enough
So we can be together
You just don't understand good enough
But now all we have is memories...
Memories we shared
No one else could compare
Ohh, I miss you, I miss you
Oh I miss you
...of the way we used to be,
Oh, those pretty memories
Oh.......
I miss you...
I miss you...
Oh, I miss you...
MARY:
Don't wish it away
Don't look at it like it's forever
Between you and me I can honestly say
That things will only get better
And while I'm away
Dust out the demons inside
And it won't be long before you and me run
To the place in our hearts where we hide
And I guess that's why they call it the blues
Time on my hands should be time spent with you
Laughing like children, living like lovers
Rolling like thunder under the covers
And I guess that's why they call it the blues
ELTON:
Just stare into space
Picture my face in your hands
Live for each second without hesitation
And never forget I'm your man, Mary Mary
Wait on me girl
Cry in the night if it helps
But more than ever I simply love you
More than I love life itself
Mary:
And I guess that's why they call it the blues
Time on my hands should be time spent with you
Laughing like children, living like lovers
Rolling like thunder under the covers
And I guess that's why they call it the blues
Mary:
Wait on me boy (EJ:Wait on me girl)
I Want You To Cry in the night if it helps(yeah)
But more than ever I simply love you
More than I love life itself
Both:
And I guess that's why they call it the blues
Time on my hands (time on my hands) should be time spent with you
Laughing like children (laughing like children), living like lovers
Rolling like thunder under the covers
And I guess that's why they call it the blues
Laughing like children
living like lovers Elton, living like lovers
And I guess that's why they call it the blues
If loving you is all that I have to do
I don't want to do anything else
If loving you is all that I have to do
I don't want to do anything else
Listen baby
Every night and day
I dream of another way
To tell you something good
I don't think that I'm understood
You walk away and I frown
With my head hung far down
You tell me what is wrong
You just wanna be loved all night long baby
You told me a thousand times
That you would be mine, all mine
I do everything for you
But in your smile, I still can't find
And now you tell me this
This is something that I can miss
And all you wanna do is to love me for me
And I'll love you for you
Now that I know I'm gonna make love to you
So lady open up your heart
And let me in where I belong
If loving you is all that I have to do
Then it won't be wrong baby
Cause we belong together baby
Together we will be as one
Just me and you, you you you
Will you love me
I will love you
Will you please me
I will please you
Girl, don't leave me
I won't leave you
Let's make it easy
I'll make it easy
Will you love me
I will love you
Will you please me
I will please you, you, you
Girl, don't leave me
I won't leave you
Let's make it easy
They can take my possessions
No, no, no, no, They can never take your love away from me
Oh, see now listen, with every breath I breath
And every beat in my heart
I know that no one, I know that no one
Can tear us apart
(Oh no)
Cause I love you baby
K I love you too
And I need you baby

Real commitment

Cryin', cryin', cryin'
(Cryin', cryin', cryin')
It's time to say
Bye, bye, bye
It's time I
Do something
It took a long time to get to this place
And now that I'm here no one can ever erase
The joy that I feel way down deep beside
The love that I have for me will never, never die
I can see in color the first sign of spring
The rose buds are blooming
I got a new song, new song to sing
Life looks so amazing
I never knew that it could open my eyes
And for the very, very first time I can see in color
Everything looks beautiful, sky so baby blue
I'm anxious to know where the rest of this road will go
If April showers bring flowers then I need, I need more rain
To quench the drought in me, so rain on me, rain on me
I can see in color the first sign of spring
The rose buds are blooming
I got a new song, a new song to sing
Life looks so amazing
I never knew that it could open, open my, open my eyes
And for the very, very first time I can see
I can see in color the first sign, the first signs of spring
It looks so beautiful to me
I can see, I can see, I can see, I can see in color
Sky so baby blue, so baby blue
I can see, I can see
I can see in color the first sign of spring
And now the rose buds are blooming
I can touch them, I can feel them
I'mma hold them forever and ever and ever and ever
And ever, I'ma hold 'em ever, I'ma be forever
I can see, I can see, I can see
I can see, I can see, I can see
I can see, see in color, color, color, color
Mmmmm
Ohh ohh
Ah yea
Ah ah yea
[Verse 1]
Somebody told me once that pain is a game that we all gotta play.
Then why am I in overtime and sudden death every other day.
I know that for the good of life theres a price we all gotta pay
But I'll pay till I'm poor and I still don't know what it is to have a good day.
Yeaa
Since everybody knows what it is that I need to do.
Well do me a favor, let me worry bout me and you worry bout you.
[Chorus]
I don't need no one to put me down,
I'm on the ground can't get no lower.
And I don't need no one to hang around an make me frown just makes me look older.
And I don't need no one to black my eye an tell me lies
Don't wanna cry over nobody else
No no nono I can do bad all by myself
[Verse 2]
Somebody told me once that runnin from the rain don't make no sense.
I had my own dark cloud for awhile now, it goes where ever im goin.
Yeaa
Your tellin me the grass just might be greener on he other side.
But I don't wanna take a chance on dirt when I got grass even tho the grass has died.
Oohh since everybody knows what it is that I need to do,
Well do me a favor, let me worry bout me an you worry bout you
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Don't waste time feelin bad for me
I didn't ask you for your sympathy
NOOO I know God is watchin over me
So I guess this I was suppose to be
Ohh yes
You know everyday I ask myself the same question
Mary why you going through this
Why you takin yourself through this
But when you love somebody and
Maybe they might not love you but
It's hard, it's just so hard but
I just gotta think about myself
Right now and but I gotta remember this
I don't know why
Why you came in my life just to see me cry
Or maybe to see me die
But look at me now
You disguise yourself so well
That I didn't know that I was walkin into hell
But my soul I would never sale
That's why I have this story to tell
And I wanna know
Where is my happy ending
I always knew you were pretending
Now it's clear to see
That there was no real love
From the beginning
See I need to know
Where is my happy ending
You hurt me so bad
There is no mending
Now it's clear to see
That there was no real love
From the beginning
How could you be so cruel
To turn yourself into a fool
Not knowing love was real
Even though you still wasted all my time boy
Now let's go back to day one
When all we knew was having fun
But you stumbled across someone who's better than me
Now I know I ought to be free
Where is my happy ending
I always knew you were pretending
Now it's clear to see
That there was no real love
From the beginning
Where is my happy ending
You hurt me so bad
There is no mending
Now it's clear to see
That there was no real love
From the beginning
You didn't love me, you were fakin
The whole thing was a hoax and I was blind
You really hurt me
What goes around comes around
And the pain you caused will come back to you
Where is my happy ending
I always knew you were pretending
Now it's clear to see
That there was no real love
From the beginning
I need to know
Where is my happy ending
You hurt me so bad
There is no mending
Now it's clear to see
That there was no real love
Now who you talkin to?
Baby I'm grown
Now who you talkin to?
Baby I'm grown
Now who you talkin to?
Baby I'm grown
Who you talkin to?

Don't you know I need you

One more time right, baby
Okay, man, go

And I think I deserve it, won't hurt it
Promise I'll be worth it
So give me that, give me that, give me that good love
'Cause baby you're what I'm looking for
And every time you smile I want some more
So give me that, give me that, give me that good love

Temperature, heat up, heat up, baby sky high

Aye, where my ladies at? Throw you hands up
You see a sucka lookin' at you tell him, man up
So he bought a drink, tell him and what
That don't mean he got the right to keep you handcuffed
You got your hair done and your toes too
You lookin' good, girl, if ain't nobody told you
Even the hood girls with the gold tooth
And more than girls who buy the purses that he owes you
The sophisticated ladies went to school and graduated
Who don't be drinkin' everyday 'cause this is celebratin'
Hey, pop your bottles shawty and do your thing, ma
And let your hair down and let it hang, ma
Now all the single moms raising babies on their own
Forget your baby, daddy, baby, you don't need home
Whether you got your real hair or a weave on
Whether you got some Frankie beads or some beads on
From the A-cup to the D-cup
To the Kiki's, Nikki's and Tameka's
Listen, not only will I hit it if you throw it to me
But Imma' beat it like you stole and you owe it to me
So give me that, give me that, give me that good love
'Cause baby you're what I'm looking for
And every time you smile I want some more
So give me that, give me that, give me that good love
Now don't you tell me, no
Just come here and give me that good love
That good love
I know, lady, just going round
To each and every last one of you, yeah
You know I got enough volume, ladies
But that can only be one point
But you can't still call dad your man, alright
A year and a day and counting
Grand hustle homie, it's the king
I don't ask for too many things
Only one thing I really need
That is you baby next to me
With that I'm satisfied
Don't need diamonds
I don't need gold
I just need someone here to hold
To keep me warm when the nights are cold
That would do just fine, just fine
You don't have to promise me the stars
Just promise me love, inside your heart
And that's enough
Baby that's enough
- (Give me you)
Give me you, give me all of you
(Give me night)
All my nights spent just holding you
(Give me day)
All my days being close to you
Nothing else that I need
(Give me you)
Give me you, give me all your love
(Give me time)
All your time, all your tender time
(All your heart)
All your soul baby that's enough
Nothing else that I need
Give me you, give me you
That's enough for me baby
Hmmm
I don't need things that money buys
All I need is there in your eyes
I just need your heart next to mine
All my whole life through
You don't have to bring the moon to me
Just bring me the love
The love that I need
And that's enough
Ooh baby that's enough
You don't have to promise me the stars
Just promise me that I have your heart
You don't have to bring the world to me
Just give me your word, you will never leave
Cause having you beside me, I have everything I need
So give me, give me you
(Give me you)
(Give me night)
All my nights spent just holding you
(Give me day)
All my days being close to you
Nothing else that I need, oh
(Give me you)
Give me you, give me all your love
(Give me time)
All your time, all your tender time
(All your heart)
All your soul baby that's enough
That's enough, nothing else that I need
Give me you, give me you
That's enough for me baby, yeah
Here I am
Looking through that same window again
Got me hurting to see you
Attack me, jealousy
Always wondering if I've been true
Why can't I be pretty for you
You want too much (of me)
Of me
(Why can't I shine)
Why can't I shine
(How could you do me that way)
How could you do me
(The girl from yesterday)
Today, I'm gone away (Away, away, away, away)
Away
You push me away
(Wooo wo Yesterday.....)
(Wooo wo Yesterday.....)
If somebody love me
The way that I have loved you
I would be secure
But you have friends that think they know how
This relationship should go
Forces from the outside
Destroying us
Why can't I be a woman
Why can't you trust
(You want too much of me)
(Why can't I shine)
Why can't I be real
(How could you do me that way)
I would change you for the world
(The girl from yesterday)
Today, I'm gone away (Away, away, away, away)
You push me away
So far away
The girl from yesterday
(Wooo wo Yesterday.....)
(Wooo wo Yesterday.....)
(Yesterday)
(Yesterday)
How could you treat me this way
The girl from yesterday
You did wear and tears away
Uhhh.....
How could you do it
You were my lover
You were my friend
Oh, oh
Ooh, oh...........
And you pushin' me
Pushin' me away, boy
And I don't understand
I loved you
Trusted you
Why do we go through things unnecessary
Why can't we understand that our love is the key
We can solve any problem if we only were meek
But you won't take the time to try and understand me
Our Love
Our love will grow much stronger
(grow much stronger)
Our love will last much longer (last)
If we would take the time out
To find out what love is all about
That's why I'm saying
I wanna get to know you better (only if you let me)
Only if you let me
Love will grow much faster
Happy ever after
That is what I'm after
I just wanna be with you, you
I do not understand why we can't make it
But I will tell you one thing
I'm not trying to fake it
You can stay if you want to
Cause my love is the same
I will not disappoint you
And I won't be the blame
Our love
That is why I'm sayin'
La la la la la la (la la la la la la la)
La la la la la la (whoa laaa)
La la la la la la (la la la)
No more invisible speechless, deaf and bling child
With neglected pleasures being addicted to denial
Floating through time, gravitating towards a warm arm
With an appetite for the emptiness that promises no harm
No more uncontrollable eruptions of emotional depression
A primal S.O.S. from the barren prison of selfless expression
that only the guilty with the innocent
Souls-know buried in social scar tissue of defective ego
No more relentless sifting through bodies seeking self
Settling through competitive combat for what's left on the shelf.
A mad melee of supply and demand driven by gullible pride that
leads to sedating the you that suffocates inside
No more - forever no more - because I've unshut my eyes
And the differences between God's word and Man's Wills was realized
Seeing opposing parallel lives some liquid, other frozen. Let me to never
seek from man what God has chosen.
Then the negative whispering subsided and the panicking ceased
the undercurrent suppression of pent-up terror was released as the
mystery of the unknown manifested pristine clear A positive message
of truth entered my ear
Now, across my face is a brand new smile
With a newly revealed meaning of a "Destine Child"
A message of hope is being released from my Heart
And I am overwhelmed with dedication to do my part
All I ever wanted was to be as I once was - Unbounded
Somehow it got all twisted and before long sounded
As though life was continuous connive-thrive-drive
Choking out the simple joy of just being alive
Now I am filled with love and I sing a love song
A song for yesterday, today, tomorrow, and beyond
My new prayer is - Thank You God for setting Me Free
It's not all about the money
(It's not all about the money).
Cause I love what I'm doing for the people.
(I really love doing my job, I really do).
Don't know were I would be if this didn't happened.
(You know...)
But I finally made it...
(A lot of us don't graduate from high school. A lot us don't get a chance at being a superstar. A lot us don't get a chance
to fulfill our dreams and I'm thinking like God! If I wasn't doing this what would I be doing? Probably like braiding hair.
Working at a super market. You know? Just hustling two jobs you know what I mean? At least trying to live.)
La, la, la, la
(I lost so much you know? I lost so, so much over the years cause like it's amazing how when you decide that you wanna do
the right thing. When I say I "Finally Made It" I don't mean like successfully, or wit money, I mean like...
I'm spiritually successful right now. You know like trying...)
Never give up, never give up, never, never give up, never give up...
(I'm on my way to like... A place were I know... I never dreamed were I would be and that’s perfection... I'm striving for
that... I don't think no one can ever be perfect, I'm striving again, striving against all things... So what I'm saying to
I wanna make you happy
It's a hundred dollar cash
Give your hundred percent
You can do the math
20 20 vision
But you just don't see it
[Nicki Minaj]
Laze up just every boot, I'm more good
Keys in that thing, interior or wood
Now ending hills is on the rearview
But piece of mon is what I don't got
You make a girl hit up the dope spot
White line, is a thin line
Prenup, been signed, so quit playing, pinch time
[Mary J Blige]
I wanna make you happy
But you just don't see it
I wanna be around babe
Baby I'm so tired up comprehend
We say all the wrong things til we make each other cry
What are we doing? will it ever get better?
I gave you eveything that I've got
Watch my feelings walk on by
Every guess, simple try
This is how I feel inside, feel inside
[Nicki Minaj]
Guess who used to say yes boo
Now when you say baby is fake
Test who, jet white, we on to jet blue
Skinny tight on that thing, we're the fresh blue
Super star, you know I'm in the press room
That's where I'm shitting on these bitches, restroom hahaha
That's ca ca ca ca, Get the fuck up out my face
Blow that rah rah rah rah
You been wack, Might send some Brooklyn niggas, get ya kidnapped
With ya bitch ass, Hit the dryer cause ya washed, splish splash
[Mary J Blige]
I never thought that I would have this feeling
But you think for once, but you could truly mean it
Wasting so much time at disagreeing
See I'm to the part where I don't know what, I'll believe it
Won't you make up your mind
Boy decide (decide, decide)
We can't go on like this, this ain't right
I'm feeling really bad, feeling kinda low
Think it's time to go
I gave you eveything that I've got
Watch my feelings walk on by
Every guess, simple try
This is how I feel inside, feel inside
[Nicki Minaj]
Yo, this is a Mary J Blige, Nicki Minaj
Ohhh....
Ohhh....
It's starting to rain again.
Everything's gone now.
Even the sun.
It's starting to rain again.
Don't go away.
What have I done?
Hmmm...
I've been high and I've been low.
I've been wealthy and I've been poor.
I don't know much.
But one thing I know, this ain't no fun.
Hmmm....
Sometimes I wish that I can stand here and fade away.
(Sometimes)
Ohh...
So that no one could see the tears running down my face.
(Sometimes)
Oh, invisibility would be great.
I painted a picture with her in his arms.
Hmmm....
It's starting to rain again.
It's all in my mind.
He's done me no harm.
Hmmm...
I've been up and I've been down.
Through all my drama, he's still around.
I can't believe that even now I put us through the storm.
Ohhh...
Sometimes I wish that I can stand here and fade away.
(Sometimes)
Ohhh...
So that no one could see the tears running down my face.
(Sometimes)
Oh, invisibility would be great.
Couldn't look at myself in the mirror.
Asking myself "How dumb could you be?"
Maybe everything would be much clearer if no one could see me.
Hmmm...
Ohhh...
Oh, invisibility would be great.
Ohhh...
Sometimes I wish that I can stand here and fade away.
(Sometimes)
Ohhh...
So that no one could see the tears running down my face.
Hey...
Hey...
Sometimes I wish that I can stand here and fade away.
(Sometimes)
Ohhh...
So that no one could see the tears running down my face.
(Sometimes)
I tried my best to keep you here
But it's hard to hold a shadow
You said goodbye but I couldn't hear
Too busy praying for a miracle
You left me on my knees
You just walked out the door
You didn't even have the decency to intervene
While I was begging God for you to love me
I prayed about us every night, mhmm…
Boy I know you had to hear me
You could have stopped me then and told the truth
But instead, you put a pillow over your head
Oh, and you left me on my knees
You just walked out the door, babe
You didn't even have the decency to intervene
While I was begging God for you to love me
You should have told me it was useless
That I was praying empty prayers, yeah
But you hopped in your car, pulled out your keys
While you were leaving, I was begging God for you to love me
And I know that He has something better to do
Than to sit and listen to a broken hearted fool
Could have been saving the world from a tragedy
But instead He was listening to me
I was asking, beggin' for a sign
To bring comfort to this lonely heart of mine
But apparently you're not what I need
I guess you walking out was Him answering
You left me on my knees
You just walked out the door
You didn't even have the decency to intervene
While I was begging God for you to love me
I try my best to keep you here
baby i love you…
(love you, love you)

Once he's in he gets so comfortable
Never wanting to commit for sure
Always lyin' 'bout the girl next door
That's how all these things begin
You let your guard down and he does you in
All your secrets he's been holding that's in
To throw back at you when it benefits him
So he can go and play with all the chickens
So tell me where the lying and the front begun
Why you playing with me cause it's not fun
How could it be two if I'm your only one
That's how crazy this game is
Working so hard to complete myself
Never thinkin' bout the love that's on the shelf
Livin' our life like there is no one else
That's how crazy this game is
Who you messin' with with all the games you play
Oh, you didn't know my name was Mary J
All the chicks you hit I heard they all look slave
Tryin' to gas me sayin' things have changed
Now you're like the furthest thing from my brain
Never thought I had to say it to you this way
All the years I've been wit you
Boy I feel so played
Now I need to go and jump on my plane
Tell me where the lying and the front begun
Why you playing with me cause it's not fun
How could it be two if I'm your only one
That's how crazy this game is
Working so hard to complete myself
Never thinkin' bout the love that's on the shelf
Livin' our life like there is no one else
That's how crazy this game is
This is one thing I will not tolerate
I'm not
For this
Abusive
Relation
Conclusive
Excusive
For a evolution
You think
With all
The games
It stops
Possesive
Obsession
Expression
Tell me where the lying and the front begun
Why you playing with me cause it's not fun
How could it be two if I'm your only one
That's how crazy this game is
Working so hard to complete myself
Never thinkin' bout the love that's on the shelf
Livin' our life like there is no one else

Come to me

I'll carve away the worries in your heart
Your heart is missed

This is now, this is how easy things can get out of hand
We were cold, and we were slow then, now we end faster than light, than light

Dead-end street or let you drive me to drinking

I can't get enough of you (I can't get enough of you)
Listen,
You bring joy instead of pain,
bring me flowers after rain,
You give me lovely days
I know I can count on you,
to turn my gray skies blue,
that's why I love you.
Ohhhh, this is true.
I can't get enough of you.
This is true, (love the way you tell me the truth about me)
I can't get enough of you (It's the only thing that could set me free)
This is true (You love me more than I love myself),
I can't get enough of you (No one can give me this confidence)
(Please don't) Please don't leave me
(ever leave my side) I cant do it, I can't do it now
(I cant live without you) I can't live without you
(I've already tried) Trriiiied
I don't think that I can make it,
and I'm not prepared to take it,
if you're not with me.
I can make it through the storm,
I need your love to keep me warm,
it's what makes me strong.
I love it when you tell me the truth about me
It's the only thing that could set me free
You Love me more than I love myself
Hey love, hey love turn yourself around
(Turn yourself round)
Cause I got that brow
You're in love
They call me L-mahogany cause of the things that I do
Like disappearing for a week with my crew
Like making sure that all my peoples got loot
Like watching out for Babylon in the blue
They be like why do she rock so fly
On the microphone its do or die
Brothers be like oh my
You don't know what you're missing
Its Fugees and Mary
I can't deal with the fact
That you don't want me around
Why you wanna see me down
It's so unusual
That you don't love me no more
Why you wanna close the door
I spend all my days
And all my nights with you
Just tell me what am I gonna do
Without you
If loving you is so right
Tell me how I make it through the night
You know that I don't ever wanna leave you
(I wanna be with you)
I just wanna be with you
Nothing else I'd rather do
(I wanna be with you)
I want to spend my life with you, oh
Let's take this time to think about
What was said and done
Now tell me why you had to run away from me
Now I can't sleep at night
Why we have to fight
Every day from you
I look and I see something new
Now tell me what I got to do, uh
To get this through to you
It's the little things you do for me
That make me very happy
You know that I don't wanna leave you
I love you I keep
Put your number in parenthesis
So I can know your borough
You mind if I say hello
We can make it healthy, you know
A strong ghetto love
Cause you met me at the club
Grinding to some reggae dub
That ain't where I wanna be
I need a family
(That's what I need, know what I'm saying, word)
Chastity I'll be if you're looking for a refugee
See my love anoints all your joints in the erogenous points
I make ya tipsy, read you your fortune like a gypsy (Ha)
So lift me to this plateau and don't forget the chateau
Cause you without me just ain't natural
You don't want me there
And it's beginning to make me so scared
(I wanna be with you)
So scared that I might lose you
All I wanna do is be with you baby
Baby, baby, baby
(I wanna be with you)
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(I wanna be with you)
I just wanna pick up the phone
I know if you do, do ooh yeah
(I wanna be with you)
Ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(I wanna be with you)
Steady are you ready? (are you ready?)
What's goin on? (whats goin on?)

As around the sun the earth knows she's revolving
And the rosebuds know to bloom in early May
Just as hate knows love's a cure
You can rest your mind assured
That I'll be lovin' you always
As now can't reveal the mystery of tomorrow
But in passing will grow older every day
Just as all is born is new
You know what I say is true
That I'll be lovin' you always
Until the rainbow burns the stars out of the sky
Until the ocean covers every mountain high
Until the day that eight times eight times eight is four
Until the day that it's the day that I'm no more
Did you know that true love asks for nothing
Her acceptance is the way we pay
Did you know that life has given love a guarentee
That last through forever
Another day
As today I know I'm living for tomorrow
Couldn't make me be the past but that I mustn't fear
Now I know deep in my mind
The love of me I left behind
And I'll be loving you always
Until the rainbow burns the stars out of the sky
Until the ocean covers every mountain high
Until the dolphins fly and parrots live at sea
Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream
Until the day is night and night becomes the day
Until the trees and seas just up and fly away
Until the day that eight times eight times eight is four
Until the day that it's the day that I'm no more
Did you know that true love asks for nothing
(True love don't wanna pay)
Her acceptance is the way we pay
Did you know that life has given love a guarentee
To last through forever
Another day
As around the sun the earth knows she's revolving
And the rosebuds know to bloom in early May
Now I know deep in my mind
The love of me I left behind
That I'll be lovin' you always
Always
Ooh, ooh
Uh, uh, uh The Rah D-I-G
Here to rap on behalf
All the females headed down the wrong path
Things gonna change when we hit the set
Put an end to the pain and the disrespect
My Flipmode brother gonna switch his pitch
Like we ain't supposed to know when he talking to a chick
Too fly for that to even make that an issue
Take little chicken head baby moms with you
Loving you is what I thought
In my mind was a miracle
But times have changed and you have changed with them too
How foolish of me
To think that you would be
Someone that I can hold on to
Something in my mind
Was warning me all the time
That you were no angel and neither was I
I tried and tried and tried
To bring peace into our lives
But you continued to flip and try to take control of my life and I
I don't know
Where we went wrong
All that I can say
He never loved me anyway
(He didn't love you, he didn't love you, come on)
I had been with you
Through everything that you've been through
But it hurts me to my heart that you don't realize
That I've only stayed around, not to cry tears of a clown
But to someday end up being your wife but you lie
Liar, cheater, deceiver and a woman beater
About to give up
Because you want me to sell it short
Boyfriend, little boy
I've been played like a toy
Wondering in your heart
To give someone else a brand new start
How ill is this?
Playing games with my mental
All them other heartbreaker dealers I've done went through
I'm just too fly for that
Now all the ladies say, I'm just too fly for that
And now don't be surprised
Catching you in all kinds of lies
If a honey come flip, start chasing you with knives
You gonna feel the wrath that's word is bond
uh hu
oooh uh
aww yea babe...
Can we just talk about the love and all the things we do
You rub my back and boy you know I'll do the same for you
You treat me good
I'll treat you good
And things will be alright
Come over here my sugar dumpling 'cause it's on tonight...
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
('bout a thing)
Becasue you ave me this ring
(you gave me thins ring yeah)
I won't ever let you down
(said i won't let you down)
'Cause my love is your fate
So please hurry don't wait...
I'm gonna give you
(All of my love)
I'm gonna give you
(All of my love)
I'm gonna give you
(All of my love)
I'm gonna give you
(All of my love)...
Boy don't you know that deep inside you are so beautiful
(Beautiful)
You're made for me so never ever, ever let me go
(oh no)
I never knew someone could set my soul and body free
No time to wait so sugar won't you give you love to me...
And as far as I can see
(Far as i can see baby)
You're the only one for me
(You're the only one for me)
And you're everything I need
(You're everything I need)
'Cause your heart's cared for me (heart yeah)
And I don't wanna be free...
It feels so good to find love, sweet love
(Yes it does)
I'll try not to neglect it
(I'll try not)
Always cherish every second
(Always love you baby)
When ever I need you, you're always right there
(Always right there)
I call you my best friend
(I call you my best)
Hope this love will never end
(I'm gonna)
Give you love
Baby I'm gonna give you love
(Baby I'm gonna)
Give you love
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Everyday I'm trying to get to know ya
But more and more you're changing up your act
Everyday I look for ways to bring us closer
But more and more you appear to be drawing back
And lately when We're making love its getting weaker
My heart don't feeling it and feeling is everything
And I'm feeling like maybe you just don't feel it
And I don't know how to play it
In the past, didn't know how to say it
But I...
I held my tongue too long
I can't do it no more (I just can't do it babe)
See how can a man be so cold
To a woman that loves him most (I don't get it at all)
(But if you wanna go) There's the door
(I can't hold ya) Boy you're grown
(You must got me confused) Ooooooo
(I treat myself way too good)
And a love that tears you down ain't really love
Everyday I'm getting up and making breakfast
And more and more you're walking in without a word
And everyday I'm trying to ask, "Baby what's wrong?"
And more and more you say I'm getting on your nerves
And then you take me to the level of some bullshit
Ya said ya never had these problems from a white chic
You got me twisted and twisted is just not how I get with it
You need to sit down and hear it
Ohh...
I'm pouring out my heart (my heart)
Don't just sit there while my heart is on the line
Speak your truth (speak your truth)
What it's worth (what it's worth)
Not a word you say will go unheard
Now if it's like that
Then baby just pack your bags
Cause I'm sick and tired of fighting
I'm sick and tired of trying
I had enough of waiting
I'm not that good with playing
I know I love you
