You cannot possibly think that I'm a sit here and believe anything you tell me
What? you don't know by now that I'm smarter than you?
You know Imma just tell you like it is
Did you think that I was born yesterday?
Do you think if you told me that the sky was red I'd believe it?
Do you feel I don't know what's real or fake?
Do you think if you made up a long story, I wouldn't notice
Cause you got another [?] hold off for you fix it up
You want to [?] your head, next to me think again
Cause I been down the road before and I ain't going back no more
And if I'm wrong I apologize but if I'm right,
Before you lie to me, before you say anything
I know you thinking my mind is weak, boy I'm smarter than what you may think
Baby I'm not trying to be negative
I just want this here to be healthy,
I don't want your love to get lazy
I know love ain't perfect but baby I'm so worth it
So give me everything and I'll give you my love in return
And I promise through this life of learn
We just keep each other first
And we can make it through it, I suppose
But baby if you trying to change your life
That's gonna be the end of that
And if I'm wrong I apologize but if I'm right,
Before you lie to me, before you say anything
I know you thinking my mind is weak, boy I'm smarter than what you may think
Before you say you're smart, know that I already heard
I know you thinking my mind is weak, boy I'm smarter than what you may think
Boy I suggest that you be honest, be honest, be honest
Boy I suggest that you be honest, be honest, be honest
Cause you can slick a can of oil boy
Don't let your mouth get you in trouble
So before you lie to me, before you say anything
I know you thinking my mind is weak, boy I'm smarter than what you may think
Before you say you're smart, know that I already heard
I know you thinking my mind is weak, boy I'm smarter than what you may think
So before you lie to me, before you say anything
I know you thinking my mind was weak, boy I'm smarter than what you may think
Before you say you're smart, know that I already heard
It's sad to think we're not gonna make it
And it's gotten to the point
Where we just can't fake it
For some ungodly reason
We just won't let it die
I guess neither one of us
Neither one of us wants to be the first to say good-bye
I keep wondering
What I'm gonna do without you
And I guess you must be
wondering the same thing too
So we go on
Go on together
Living a lie
Because neither one of us
wants to be the first to say good-bye
Every time I find the nerve
Every time I find the nerve to say I'm leaving
Memories
Those old memories get in my way
Lord knows it's only me
Only know it's me
That I?m deceiving
When it comes to saying good-bye
That a simple word that I just cannot say
There can be no way
There can be no way
This can have a happy ending
No, no
So we just go on
Hurting and pretending
Convincing ourselves to give it just one more try
Because I guess neither one of us
wants to be the first to say
Neither one of us
wants to be the first to say
Neither one of us
wants to be the first to say
Farewell my love
I was in the darkness
I was out in the cold
Seemed nothing could heal this
This hole in my soul
You reached out your arms to me
Held out your heart to me
Pulled me back from the edge
Thought i reached the end
When i was drowning
When i was so confused
You you you pulled me through
I was in the shadows
Lost, nothing left to lose
You, you, you pulled me through
You gave my faith back
Faith was so hard to find
You gave me my life back
You were my lifeline
The love that you gave me
Is love that has saved me
Your strength is what made me strong
You held me and i held on
When i was drowning
When i was so confused
You oh you you pulled me through
I was in the shadows
Lost, nothing left to lose
You, you, you pulled me through
Out of the dark
Into your arms
Into the light
Your love saved my life
When i was drowning
When i was so confused
You, ooh you, you (pulled me through)
(when i was drowning) when i was drowning
I was so confused (when i was confused)
Yea you ooh you yea you you pulled me through
(You put a move on my heart)
Time after time
When I'm feeling low
Something inside of me
Let's me know
It's alright
Love's, on my side
When the world seems a lonely place
I got a dream that won't leave a trace
Of the blues
I just think of you
And baby I know
[Chorus:]
I got a real thing, here by my side
Someone who needs me
Holding me tight
And these special feelings, won't ever fade
(Cause I knew)
I knew... I knew from the start
You put a move on my heart
Baby our love's like a melody
Playing for us in the sweetest key
You could find in the music of life
Oh, in my touch there's a woman's glow
Heating the passion that, heaven knows
It's a dream
(It's a dream ooh ooh)
Baby for you and me
[Chorus]
And baby I know
I got a real thing;
The love of my life, ooh
(Someone who needs me)
Someone who needs me
And he fills me with pride
Baby now!... now and forever
We'll never part
Cause you belong to me
Cause you put a move on my heart!
Ooh baby
And you're so on yea... you're so on baby, you're so underneath the truth, oh...
These special feelings
Time can't erase
Baby, believe me
This is a dream, and sugar
I knew... I knew from the start
You put a move on my heart!
(You put a move on my heart)
You put a move on my heart baby
You got through to my heart
(You put a move on my heart)
Baby, oh!
[x3]
Baby can't you see?
We were meant to be
(Hold me, love me)
You put a move on my heart
(Put your hand in mine
Till the end of time)
Hold me love me
Well I'm on the fence, I'm undecided
So very tense, still a little upset
But I don't wanna make an angry decision
And regret it later, so I haven't decided yet
Chorus:
But I could never, ever feel like this
When they words "I love you" leave my lips
I mean it when I say, I just hate how difficult you make it.
Why is it so hard? (So hard?)
So hard to love you? So hard to stay?
Why is it so hard? (So hard to love you)
But this is the one time I don't care about the easy way.
(No, no)
Doesn't make sense, irrational me
I'm still around though I can't believe one word that you say.
No, it don't make no sense
I'm always crying, but I'll cry oceans if you ever went away.
Chorus:
But I could never, ever feel like this
When they words "I love you" leave my lips
I mean it when I say, I just hate how difficult you make it.
Why is it so hard? (So hard?)
So hard to love you? So hard to stay?
Why is it so hard? (So hard to love you)
But this is the one time I don't care about the easy way.
(Hey, hey)
(Why is it so hard?)
I can walk out that door (Out that door)
And never come around anymore (Anymore)
But that wouldn't make no sense to me
But see I love you Baby
And the thick and thin this is where I'm supposed to be.
(Supposed to be) Hey, hey
Why is it so hard? (So hard?)
So hard to love you? (Yeah) So hard to stay? (Hard to stay)
Why is it so hard? (So hard to love you)
But this is the one time I don't care about the easy way.
(No, no)
Why is it so hard? (So hard?)
So hard to love you? (Why is it so hard?) So hard to stay? (Hey hey yea yeah)
Why is it so hard? (So hard to love you?)
But this is the one time I don't care about the easy way (Hey, hey)
You said when the storm came
That you would be there with your umbrella to block the rain
And you said you'd protect me
From heartache, pain, lies, loneliness, and misery
You said you'd tear down the walls that were in my way
You promised things would be okay
And I stood there in the freezing cold
And I waited for you, but you never showed
Where you at?
Where you at?
Where you at?
Boy you say would be here for me
Where you at?
Where you at?
Where you at?
Now you said you go to church
Stop slanging, find a real job, and go to work
And you say you stay out of the streets and spend more time with me
Take away my doubts and fears and fulfill my dreams
You said you'd be that shoulder for my eyes to cry on
Said you would be that one that I could depend on
And I stood there in the freezing cold
And I waited for you, but you never showed
Where you at?
Where you at?
Where you at?
Boy you say would be here for me
Where you at?
Where you at?
Where you at?
And oh false promises is much like fake named
You painted a picture for me but there was no frame
You made my future look bright and I believed every word
I went to sleep on the cloud and woke up in the dirt
And now I'm without shelter and the wind is blowing
You say you'd be there for me, boy, when the tough got going
Said if weapons draw, you'd stand in front of me
Whenever I felt trapped, said you'd be the one to set me free
Thought you were my hero
But as it turns out, you a no show
Tell me where
Where you at?
Where you at?
Where you at?
Oh you said would be there for me
Where you at?
Where you at?
Where you at?
You said you'd be right there for me
Where you at?
Where you at?
Where you at?
Where you at?
Where you at?
You'd said you'd be right there for me
So I'm waitin' on you right here
Until you appear and deliver, deliver, deliver, deliver, boy

Beautiful) Where Is The Good Man Tell Me Where Is The Man That Wants Me Ohohoh
Go away, go away
I've got this feelin' today
A feelin' I ain't never felt before
And it came from you
So that means you can make it go away, make it go away
And I don't like the way
You've been hangin' around with your face on the ground
What's the deal?
Can you make it go away, make it go away?
What's wrong with my baby?
What's wrong with me?
What's wrong with us?
What's wrong with we?
'Cause every time we try to talk and turn this thing around
Tell me what's the deal and then I try to work it out
Is it you? Is it me? Is it us? Is it we?
We've been through so much pain
Baby calm down, no way
Believe it or not you got me feelin' this way
And I never ever felt this way before
Didn't expect that from you
You tryna make me go away
And I don't like the way
We keep on fussin' and fighting about yesterday and last night
That's old news, we need to be strong
But you're makin' me go away, go away
What's wrong with my baby?
What's wrong with me?
What's wrong with us?
What's wrong with we?
'Cause every time we try and talk you turn this thing around
Tell me what's the deal and then I try to work it out
Is it you? Is it me? Is it us? Is it we?
We've gone through so much pain
Now, now let's stop playin' these games
If we gonna make it work, let's just act our age
Girl, I'm hearin' everythin' that you say
But I don't wanna make you go away, make you go away
I know I act like I don't care, I'm just tryna play it cool
But if we keepin' actin' this way
Then that would make us both some fools
All the hurt and the lies and the pain
It'll make it go away, make it go away
What's wrong with my baby?
What's wrong with me?
What's wrong with us?
What's wrong with we?
See every time we try to talk and turn this thing around
Tell me what's the deal and then we'll try to work it out
[Jennifer Hudson:]
Guess I gotta forget all about [?]
And try to live my life just like it is
Whooa,
But I want everyobody to remember me (everybody)
I will come back 10 years ago (well, hey)
Said I want everybody to remember me
When I go back 10 years and years ago
When I get my second chance
[Lupe Fiasco:]
When I get my second chance I'm gon redeem myself
When I bring myself, me and my team my help
Ain't no "I" in that but I'm in that so I am packed
So there's ten to millions inside of that
Ain't one man army, one man army I am that
Bring it back like a typer-writer, writing that
I attack like a lightening strike with a lions wrath
With a vipers bite come alive with that
Put your life on that
Like everything I do though
All my old wounds have healed but they still feel like they new though
And everytime I see 'em I start to think of you yo
First I wasn't focused, wasn't willing and my goon's
So performance was just lackin at those moments that were crucial
Now my heart is razor sharp and confidence is MUCHO
Big, things I can't forgive, things I can't forget
Things I can't relive, the agony is asking me, defeat is sweet to sin
But I put that on my city we will never miss again.
[Chorus:]
Never miss the city of the wind that I'm in
City of the wind that I'm in
We can do it now
We can do it now
We can do it now
We can do it we can do we can do it now
Second chance, second win, do it again
Yeah eah, eeeeah
Yeah we do it again
We can do it now
Let's do it again
We can do it now
Do it now
[Common:]
The rise of the phoenix, sweat falls
Time has it's meaning, I evolve
Hit the ground and bounce back up, just like B-Ball
Muhammad Ali jaw, I knew that I would be all
[?] where I came from, the same place that [?] from
My name hung, from the rafters before an aftermath of a master
Wishing I could have the moment to grab the trophy and glass of champagne
My locker rooms a cold place, LA got no gates
You mighta seen this man cry, that was just my old face
My soul waits redemption and intervention from a higher dimension
Inspire mission, no more hoping or wishing, conditions'll change
[?] and say Barack on the range
I'm from the Chi' too, now I'm Barack in the game
Came back and overcame, overstood the rain
More than just the fame, married to the game
Now I hold the reign

But you didn't even try
To take away my pain or dry my weeping eyes
Cos you can't, can you baby
Keep doing me wrong and I won't accept it no more
You had me so caught up baby, had me so blind
Everything was about you and I put all my needs aside
So go back to her, stop wasting my time

I'm gonna stand up, I'm tired of being let down
Takes a damn fool to keep you around
Gonna stand up on my two feet
Cos I don't need you to make me complete
See, I had to learn the hard way
That you were doing me, you were doing me wrong
All those lonely nights that you left me alone
And gave me the power to finally
Stand up, stand up
Damn fool to keep you around
Gonna stand up on my two feet
Cos I don't need you to make me complete, no, no
To all my ladies and my girls

Even though I, I, I still can feel the sting
No need to second guess me
Can't nobody love you like I'm gonna love you
Can't nobody love you like I'm gonna love you
See I, I, I don't mind you
Putting up a little bit of fight, it's all right

Through any complications, baby maybe we can start tonight
If I saw honey what you gave me
Don't care what your ex do
Ain't nobody love you like I'm gonna love you
Ain't no one gon' love you like I'm gonna love you
And if you dare, don't dare send me straight to voice mail
Babe I'm just gon' text you
Hope it ain't no issue, I just gotta let you know
No one could love you like I'm gonna love you
See I, I, I, don't mind you
Putting up a little bit of fight is all right
But why run from what's gon' hold you tight
Through any complications, baby maybe we can start tonight

Are you a man who loves and cherishes and cares for me?
Is that you? Is that you? Is that you? Yeah
Are you a guard in a prison, maximum security?
Is that you? Is that you? Is that you? Yeah
Do we stay home all the time ?cause you want me to yourself?
Is that you? Is that you? Is that you? Yeah
Or am I locked away out of fear that I'd find someone else
Is that you? Is that you? Yeah
Well, I don't like living under your spotlight
Just because you think I might find somebody worthy
Oh, I don't like living under your spotlight
Maybe if you treat me right you won't have to worry
Is this relationship fulfilling your needs as well as mine?
Is that you? Is that you? Is that you? Yeah
Or is this just my sentence? Am I doing time?
Is that you? Is that you? Is that you? Yeah
If this is love, real, real love, then I'm staying, no doubt
Is that you? Is that you? Is that you? Yeah
But if I'm just love's prisoner then I'm busting out
Is that you? Is that you? Yeah
Well, I don't like living under your spotlight
Just because you think I might find somebody worthy
Oh, I don't like living under your spotlight
Maybe if you treat me right you won't have to worry
Oh, you ought to be ashamed of yourself
What the hell do you think you're doing
Loving me, loving me so wrong!
Baby, all I do is try
To show you that you're my
One and only guy
No matter who may come along
Open your eyes, ?cause baby I don't lie
Hey ?cause I don't like living under your spotlight

Verse1:
You turned me on,sounds so good talking fast. But before we go on there's something i must ask, not about your past cause i dont care who came before me,no my maturity is bigger than that. I am more curious about what you truely want, do i sense sencerity or just good talk, i dont care about the rumor mill but be understanding how you truly feel for me, and yeah i want you sexually
chorus:
But I aint talking bout that,aint talking bout them,
(aint talking bout her) aint talking bout him
(im talking bout trust) im talking bout truth
(im talking bout me) and what im giving you
(this is my heart) please take care
(this is my heart)always be there
(this is my heart) something you cant take
so whatever you do please dont break my heart
Verse 2;
some girls are satisfied with cash in hand
and some girls are happy just to have a man
but my heart has my word to never put her in the way of harm
so you know i like your charm
chorus:
But I aint talking bout that,aint talking bout them,
(aint talking bout her) aint talking bout him
(im talking bout trust) im talking bout truth
(im talking bout me) and what im giving you
(this is my heart) so treat it like gold
(this is my heart) pretend that its yours
(this is my heart) its too valuable to loose
so whatever you do please dont loose my heart
Bridge;

chorus:
But I aint talking bout that,aint talking bout them,
(aint talking bout her) aint talking bout him
(im talking bout trust) im talking bout truth

[C.C.:] Effie, Curtis was supposed to...
[Effie:] Love me. Curtis was supposed to love me.
[Curtis:] There you are Effie. I've been looking all over.
[Effie:] I turn my back and find myself out on the line. You could have warned me, but that would have been too kind!
[Curtis:] I've been warning you for months to clean up your act. You've been late; you've been mean; given all kinds of bullshit flack.
[Effie:] That's a lie! That's a lie! It's just I haven't been feeling that well.
[Curtis:] Effie, please. Stop excusing yourself. You've been late; you've been mean and getting fatter all the time.
[Effie:] Now you lying, you lying; I never been so thin. You lying, you lying, 'cause your knocking up that piece who thinks she's better than everybody. She ain't better than anybody, she ain't nothing but common!
[Deena:] Now who you callin' common you self-indulgent, self-absorbed and unprofessional...
[Effie:] You! I'm calling you, I'm calling you, the common piece is knocking off!
[Deena:] Now you listen to me, Miss Blame-It-On-The-World. See I put up with you for much too long. I have put up with your bitching, I've put up with your nagging, and all your screaming too!
[Lorelle:] Oh now when are you two gonna stop all this fighting?
[Effie:] Stay outta this Lorelle, this is between Deena and me!
[Lorelle:] Yeah, well it's between me too! I am as much a part of this group as anybody else! And I'm tired, Effie I'm tired, of all the problems you're making up!
[Effie:] I always knew you two were together!
[Lorelle:] What!
[Effie:] Always knew you two were ganging up on me!
[Deena:] She had nothing to do with this change. It was you! It was you always thinking of you. Always thinking of you!
[Curtis:] I knew you were trouble from the start.
[Effie:] Trouble?
[Curtis:] You were real bad trouble from the start!
[Effie:] Curtis, I'm your woman!
[Curtis:] You're getting out now... I'm not building this group to have you tear it apart. Go ahead and rant and scream and shout. Don't worry baby, I'll buy you out.
[Effie:] There's no money dirty enough to buy me out. You remember that, Curtis.
[C.C.:] Lay off Effie, just take the money and run.
[Effie:] You in this with them, C.C.?
[C.C.:] Cool it Effie, this time you know what you've done!
[Effie:] So they've got your black ass too, huh?
[C.C.:] I said cool it Effie, this time you've gone too far.
[Effie:] Oh I can go further, I can go further!
[Michelle:] I don't wanna stay around this. I'm just breaking into this business. This is between all of you. This is none of my affair.
[Effie:] Yeah? Well it's between you too now, little sister. This small job is just as much your sin. Look at me, look at me! How much did you put out to get in?
[Michelle:] Now you watch your mouth, watch your mouth, Ms. Effie White. 'Cause I don't take that talk from no second-rate diva, who can't sustain.
[Effie:] I'm not feeling well. I've got pains.
[Everyone:] Effie, we all got pains!
[Effie:] Oh! For seven years I sung with you, I was your sister!
[Everyone:] You were a trouble.
[Effie:] Now you're telling me it's all over?
[Everyone:] And now we're telling you: it's all over.
[Effie:] And now I'm telling you, I ain't going!
[Everyone:] It's all over.
[Effie:] I ain't going!
Seems like I’m not here
It’s like I don’t mean nothing
Like glass unclear
Almost like you can see straight through me
I got questions but no answers
So tired of being confused and I
Don’t wanna stay right here and I
Gotta find my wings and fly
Chorus
I gotta find me another way
Cause I don’t wanna stay another day
Time for a change in my mind
I’v opened my eyes I’m changing my life
And now I’m gonna live my life for me
Cause this aint how it’s supposed to be
No more standing in the back of the line
Cause I’m invisible for the last time
Why can’t you see me
Do I really even matter
You changed me completely
And I remember how it used to be
I got question what’s the lesson
I’m tired of being confused and I’m
I’m gonna take my chance and fly
I’m taking back my life
Chorus
This can’t be it for me
This can’t be all I’m made for
And all my time wasted in this life
It’s my time to shine
No more feeling insufficient
I’m gonna make my own decisions
It don’t matter what you can or cannot see
I’m doing this for me
Chorus
Can you see me
I know you see me
No more stand in the back of the line
I'm calling his phone up just to tell him how much
I really love him 'cause he's everything I want
He listens to me, cares for me so I truly believe
God sent me an angel from above
That's gonna love me for life
Might as well be perfect only because
It's the only way I can describe, so
If this isn't love, tell me what it is
'Cause I could be dreaming or just plain crazy
If this isn't love, tell me what it is
'Cause I never felt like this baby
If this isn't love
L O V E, what is in me?
L O V E, oh, if this isn't love
L O V E, what is in me?
L O V E, oh, if this isn't love
I'm selfish 'cause I don't wanna share him with nobody
Not even those people that came before me
But see, I never believed
God would send me an angel up from above
That's gonna love me for life
Might as well be perfect only because
It's the only way I can describe, so
If this isn't love, tell me what it is
'Cause I could be dreaming or just plain crazy
If this isn't love, tell me what it is
'Cause I never felt like this baby
If this isn't love
L O V E, what is in me?
L O V E, oh, if this isn't love
L O V E, what is in me?
L O V E, oh
So if you got real love
Lemme see you put your hands up
See you put your hands up
The kind of love that fits quite like a glove
Lemme see you put your hands up
See you put your hands up
If this isn't love
'Cause I know I ain't crazy
I know I ain't tripping
I know I ain't slipping
I know that it's love
You see me with my hands up
If you think I'm dreaming
I know I ain't dreaming
'Cause this is the reason I love him because
If this isn't love
If this isn't love, tell me what it is
'Cause I could be dreaming or just plain crazy
If this isn't love, tell me what it is
'Cause I never felt like this baby
L O V E, what is in me?
L O V E, oh, if this isn't love
L O V E, what is in me?
L O V E, oh, if this isn't love
Love, L O V E

I remember me, starting at myself
See these same two eyes, see these same two feet
I remember you, You who I used to be
You still look the same, but you don't hurt like me
Look at my reflection, somewhere my affection
Disappeared,isn't here, nothing left to say
Memories they fading, but I'm the one who makes them
But i keep the love close to enough to say
What if this life is all that we're given
We just can't stop living, scared of what we see
Cuz in this world, anything can hurt you
They push you, then forget you
Stole my history
But I remember me, I remember me
It don't matter where I go, what I'm told, now you know
I remember me, I remember me
Even if I say goodbye, start to cry, do or die
I remember me
I tell you what my name is
And ain't nothing gon' change it
Cuz what you are is what you are
Even if your memory's flawed
I go to places, trying to find familiar faces
They don't show, but I still know
They don't have to look for me
I dream about, I dream about
The place where all the broken pieces fit together
Cuz in this world, anything can hurt you
They push you, then forget you
And stole my history
But I remember me, I remember me
It don't matter where I go, what I'm told, now you know
I remember me, I remember me
Even if I say goodbye, start to cry, do or die
I remember me
Now all that's left of these hands, this breathe
I've said goodbye to so many things that tears wont cry
And i take this pain, This joy, and rain
Cuz all that matters now is
In this life anything can hurt you
Push you, then forget you
Erase your history
But I remember me, I remember me
It don't matter where I go, what I'm told, now you know
I remember me, I remember me
Even if I say goodbye, start to cry, do or die
I remember me
I remember me, oh woah
I remember me, I tell you what my name
I tell you what me name is
Never met a man
Quite like you
Doing all you can
Making my dreams come true
You’re strong and you’re smart
You’ve taking my heart
And I’ll give you the rest of me too
You’re the perfect man for me
I love you I do
Mm I love ya
I’ve never ever felt
Quite like this
Good about myself
From my very first kiss
I’m here when you call
You’ve got it all
And confidence like I never knew
You’re the perfect man for me
I love you I do
You’ve got a charm
You simply disarm me everytime
As long as you drive
I’m along for the ride
Your way
You said it before
There won't be a door
That’s closed to us
Putting all my trust in you
Cause you, you’ll always be true, Ooooooh
I never could have known
This would be,
Oh you and you alone, yeah
Now for me
I know you’re the best
You’ve passed every test
It's almost too good to be true
You’re the perfect man for me
I love you I do
You’re the perfect man for me
[Verse 1]
Packed all my clothes, shut the door,
Back on the road to success
How can my dues see the just me in the dream been of (baby)
Stick to the hurts and burst spitting words of encouragement, (baby)
And if you feel what I'm feeling
Then don't be scared to say it with me, say
[Chorus]
I got this, every single breath another step on my road
I got this, I'm from the south south trying to get to my goal
I got this, ain't no stopping me,
Come on follow me if you feel the need
I got this, better believe I got this, believe I got this
[Verse 2]
So many tried to break me
When I got up and knocked me down
Didn't keep me from moving
I flip the world upside down
They said the sky was the limit
I put my footprint all in it
Cause I've been there
I'm looking down at the moon
And if you feel like I do
Put your hands in the air
[Chorus]
I got this, every single breath another step on my road
I got this, I'm from the south south trying to get to my goal
I got this, ain't no stopping me,
Come on follow me if you feel the need
I got this, better believe I got this, believe I got this
[Bridge]
God believes smile at me cause when I fall I won't drop
Something in me won't let me stop until I reach the top
I keep going, I keep showing the whole world everyday I'm growing
Everything, everything, everything, everything, everything in me says I got this
[Chorus - Outro]
I got this, every single breath another step on my road
I got this, I'm from the south south trying to get to my goal
I got this, ain't no stopping me, come on follow me if you feel the need
I got this, better believe I got this, believe I got this
I got this, I got this, uh, I got this, I got this
I got this, I know you know I got this, you better know I got it, you got it, you know it
I believe in dreams again
I believe that love never ends
And like the river finds the sea
I was lost, now I am free
Cos I believe in you and me
Oh boy, maybe I’m a fool
To feel the way I do
But I would play the fool forever
Just to be with you forever
I believe in miracles
And you are a miracle
Cos I believe, I do believe in you and me
See I was lost, now I’m free
Look at me, look at me
I am changing, trying every way I can
I am changing, I'll be better than I am
I'm trying to find a way to understand
But I need you, I need you, I need a hand
I am changing, seeing everything so clear
I am changing, I'm gonna start right now, right here
I'm hoping to work it out and I know that I can
But I need you, I need a hand
All of my life I've been a fool
Who said I could do it all alone
How many good friends have I already lost
And how many dark nights have I known
Walking down that wrong road, there was nothing I could find
All those years of darkness could make a person blind
But now I can see
I am changing, trying every way I can
I am changing, I'll be better than I am
But I need a friend to help me start all over again
Oh that would be just fine
I know it's gonna work out this time
Cos this time I am, this time I am
I am changing, I’ll get my life together now
I am changing, yes I know how
I'm gonna start again, I'm gonna leave my past behind
I'll change my life, I'll make a vow

[Announcer:]
... present The Dreamgirls presenting their latest hit Heavy.
[Dreamgirls:]
Heavy, Heavy You got so heavy baby
Heavy, Heavy You got so heavy on me
[Beyonce:]
You used to want, nothing from me
You used to say let's both be free
You used to dance instead of walk
You never had to talk, talk, talk
[Beyonce:]
Heavy, Heavy (talk, talk, talk)
You got so heavy baby (talk, talk, talk)
Heavy, Heavy (talk, talk, talk)
Can you imagine what it would be like if we never met?
If we never kissed?
Can you imagine if we never got to spend those nights
In each others arms?
But I don't know how it feels
But it will probably kill me, probably it will tear me down
So I, I don't think about it
'Cause my heart can't take it if you were gone
If you were gone
If you were gone
If you were gone
If you were gone
If you were gone
If you were gone
If you were gone
If you were gone
Can you picture yourself getting older, dear
With someone else?
I can't 'cause I feel like we are the exception to the rule
I know this love is true
And I don't know how it feels
But it will probably kill me, probably it will tear me down
So I, I don't think about it
'Cause my heart can't take it if you were gone
If you were gone
If you were gone
If you were gone
If you were gone
If you were gone
If you were gone
If you were gone
If you were gone
Don't rewind anything
Too excited to see what tomorrow brings
You changed my world around
And I am not scared to go fall down in love
But if you were gone
If you were gone
If you were gone
If you were gone
If you were gone
If you were gone
If you were gone
If you were gone
If you were gone
If you were
If you were
If you were gone
If you were
(I can't imagine)
If you were
(I can't imagine)
I never been who I wanted to be

"Ooooh, look down"

It breaks my heart up every time
Then I think about what you told me that night
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
No way I can escape what's in my mind
[Pre-Chorus 1:]
Oh, that's the way love goes
Love it takes you up, it takes you down, got you going
all around.
Oh, that's the way our love goes
Open up your mind now don't be blind, I know baby you

Baby nothing's broken, as it seems
Gotta find a way to let it flow (oh oh)

Baby if it's real, then here's the biz, gotta accept it
how it is

Don't live in the limits,
let's go higher and higher
Don't look down
[Bridge:]
Oooh, see we cannot let go
And there's no looking down
When you walk on the side road
Gotta keep your eyes on the highest tracks of love
You don't have to worry
Don't you worry bout a thing
Just keep your eyes above
1, 2, 3 sing
There is no limit to how,
how we can go, if we don't look down
Don't live in the limits,

how we can go, if we don't look down
Don't live in the limits,
let's go higher and higher
From the day we arrive in the planet
And blinking, step into the sun
There is more to be seen
Than can ever be seen
More to do, than can ever be done
In the circle of life
And it moves the sun
Through this baron hole
It's the faith that loves
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding (hihihing)
In the circle,
THE CIRCLE OF LIFE
On the path unwinding (hihihing)
In the circle,
Oooooh oooh ooh (2x)
27th of january, think he died a year ago today
She's crying on my shoulder and begging me to make the hurting go away
Pretty brown eyes, tears full of guilt, a heart full of pain and fear
I wanna tell her it's okay but we both know she's the reason he's not here.
I keep on crying, but it doesn't seem to help at all [seem to help at all] With every single tear drop, it's like another raindrop falls
And I would [and I would], if I could [if I could]..but the try would be in vain [the try would be in vain]
Said so matter what I do..I can't stop the rain.
So I cry
Oooooooh..I can't stop the rain [stop the rain] (2x)
If I could, you know I would..but the try would be in vain.
So I cry
Oooooooh..I can't stop the rain [stop the rain]
Faded picture in a little gold locket, and she never takes it off I know it's small, but it's heavy 'cus it's filled with guilt
I know and she why his life is lost
I feel bad for her, but I'm having mixed emotions
'cus he was a friend of mine
Somewhere in the deepest darkest part of my mind
I wish it was her that died that night
[Ooooh]
I keep on crying, but it doesn't seem to help at all [seem to help at all]
With every single tear drop, it's like another raindrop falls [raindrop falls]
[ Jennifer Hudson Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
And I would [and I would], if I could [if I could]..but the try would be in vain [the try would be in vain]
Said so matter what I do..I can't stop the rain
So I cry
Oooooooh..I can't stop the rain [stop the rain] (2x)
If I could, you know I would..but the try would be in vain.
So I cry
Oooooooh..I can't stop the rain [stop the rain]
One rainy saturday night, a happy anniversary Celebrating long[?], champagne all around
They had a little too much to drink
They got in the car, and he could barely stand up
So she figured that she'd drive.
Staring at him I suppose, a sudden jerk of the wheel,
and the car flipped about three times
[Oooooooh]
I keep on crying, but it doesn't seem to help at all.
With every single tear drop, it's like another raindrop falls [raindrop falls].
And I would [and I would], if I could [if I could] ..but the try would be in vain.
Said so matter what I do [what I do]..I can't stop the rain.
So I cry
Oooooooh..I can't stop the rain [stop the rain] (2x)
If I could, you know I would..but the try would be in vain.

Old man Wrigley lived in that white house
Down the street where I grew up
My momma used to send me over with things
We struck a friendship up
Spent a few long summers out on his old porch swing
Said he was in a war, in the Navy
Lost his wife, lost his baby
I broke down and asked him one time, how you keep from going crazy?
He said, "I'll see my son and wife in just a little while"
I asked him what it meant
He looked at me and smiled, said
I raise my hands, bow my head
I'm finding more and more truth in the words written in red
They tell me that it's more to life
Just what I can see, oh, I believe
Few years later, I was off at college
Talkin' on the phone to my mom one night
Gettin' all caught up in the gossip of a small town life
She said, "Oh, by the way child, old man Wrigley has died"
Later on that night, I lay there thinkin' back
I thought 'bout a couple of long lost summers
I didn't know whether to cry or laugh
You see, if there was ever anybody
Who deserved a ticket to the other side
It'll be that sweet old man
Who looked me in the eye and said
I raise my hands, bow my head
I'm finding more and more truth in the words written in red
They tell me that it's more to life
Than just what I can see, oh
I can't quote the book, chapter or the verse
You can't tell it all ends in a slow ride in a hearse
Know I'm more and more convinced the longer that I live
And oh, this can't be, no, it can be, this can't be all there is
I raise my hands, bow my head
I'm finding more and more truth in words written in red
Tell me that it's more to life
Than just what I can see, oh, I believe
Oh, I, Lord I, oh, I
Lord, I still believe
Oh, with all that I been through
Oh, still believe, yes, I do
I believe, yeah, oh Lord I, Lord I
We can touch the sky...
[Verse 1]
I was never looking 'round
Trying to find someone
That'd like to tie the knot
Little did I know
I was in need
To find the one that made me feel so heavenly
There's no way that I'm
Ever goin' back again
Heaven's in your arms
Got me until the end
[Chorus]
Let me be your angel
To the golden door I'd do come running
When you need someone
I'll be your angel
When you wanna fly I'd come running
And we can touch sky
We can touch the sky...
[Verse 2]
Some people, will never see
How you came into my life
And set me free
But little do they know
That I've been found
Flying so high, so high above the ground
There's no way that I'm
Ever goin' back again
Heaven's in your arms
Got me until the end
[Chorus]
Let me be your angel
To the golden door I'd do, come running
When you need someone
I'll be your angel
When you wanna fly I'd do, come running
And we can touch sky
[Bridge]
Let me be the lady in your life
Let me be the one that has your flight
Let me be that angel love that you've been looking for
Let me take your feet up off the ground
Let me promise you'll never come down
Let me be the lady that you cherish and adore
[Chorus]
Let me be your angel
To the golden door I'd do, come running
When you need someone
I'll be your angel
When you wanna fly I'd do, come running
And I am tellin' you I'm not goin'
You're the best man I've ever known
There's no way I can ever go
No, no, there's no way
No, no, no, no way
I'm livin' without you
I'm not livin' without you
I don't wanna be free
I'm stayin', I'm stayin'
And you, and you
You're gonna love me
You're gonna love me
And I am tellin' you, I'm not goin'
Even though the rough times are showin'
There's just no way
There's no way
We're part of the same place
We're part of the same time
We both share the same blood
We both have the same mind
And time and time
We've have so much to share
No, no, no, no, no, no way
I'm not wakin' up tomorrow mornin'
And findin' that there's nobody there
Darlin' there's no way
No, no, no, no way
I'm livin' without you
I'm not livin' without you
You see there's just no way
There's no way
Please don?t go away from me
Stay with me, stay with me
Stay, stay and hold me
Stay, stay and hold me
Please stay and hold me
Miss her bad, try and miss her, try and miss her
I know, I know, I know you can
Tear down the mountains
Yell, scream and shout
You can say what you want
I'm not walkin' out
Stop all the rivers
Push, strike and kill
I'm not gonna leave you
There's no way I will
And I am tellin' you, I'm not goin'
You're the best man I'll ever know
There's no way I could ever, ever go
No, no, there's no way
No, no, no, no way
I'm livin' without you
I'm not livin' without you
Not livin' without you
I don't wanna be free
I'm stayin', I'm stayin'
And you, and you, and you
You're gonna love me
You're gonna love me, yes you are
Yes you are
Aah, love me
Love me
Love me
