Going on their lands for sale to stake my claim
Burn my name in the soil
Out past the borders beyond the hill
Through seasons of nothing
Safe for the self-destructive world
Memories get altered
No point of reference to hold
And it feels like someone is watching
Asi tear into the skin of innocence
And decadence for awhile
So we settled in and half the veins where blood runs pure
Troubled the cure for a short while
Out in the dust they suffocate the sprawl and greed
Bent on breed and stare
And children stare
This little girl, pretty little girl
This little girl, pretty little girl
This little girl, pretty little girl
I wanna know
This little girl, pretty little girl
This little girl, pretty little girl
This little girl, pretty little girl
I wanna know
The whole town?s talking about her
This sweet little girl from Gentiah
She?s got a property
That I truly admire
She smiles when I call her mi Scottie
She hears it everywhere that she goes
Where in the world did she get it?
Don?t ask me, I don?t know
I?ve found the right words to say
To get her into my world
God knows I?m serious
I?m not joking
I know you?re saying I?m crazy
Telling your friends I?m a clown
I really like what I?m seeing
So I won?t let down
So I know that you know my intentions
On the table I lay down my cards
I?m making all the preparations
To send my arrow to you heart
I?ll find the right words to say
To get you into my world
God knows I?m serious
I?m not joking
I invited her out to the movies
But it was a flick she would like
But she said let?s find a disco
Where we can jam all night
We found a place so nice and cozy
Few miles on the outskirts of town
We got so close together
I know she?ll sneak around
This little girl, pretty little girl
This little girl, pretty little girl
This little girl, pretty little girl
I wanna know
This little girl, pretty little girl
This little girl, pretty little girl
This little girl, pretty little girl
I wanna know
The whole town?s talking about her
This beautiful girl from Gentiah
She?s got a property
That I truly admire
She smiles when I call her mi Scottie
She hears it everywhere that she goes
Where in the world did she get it?
Don?t ask me, I don?t know
I?ll find the right words to say
To get her into my world
God knows I?m serious
I?m not joking
I know you?re saying I?m crazy
Telling your friends I?m a clown
I really like what I?m seeing
So I won?t back down
So I know that you know my intentions
On the table I lay down my cards
I?m making all the preparations
To send my arrow to your heart
This little girl, pretty little girl
This little girl, pretty little girl
This little girl, pretty little girl
I wanna know
This little girl, pretty little girl
This little girl, pretty little girl
This little girl, pretty little girl
Love had played its games on me so long,
I started to believe I'd never find anyone,
Doubt had tried to convince me to give in,
Said you can't win...
But one day the sun it came a'shinin' through,
The rain had stopped, and the skies were blue,
And oh, what a revelation, to see,
Someone was saying "I love you" to me,
A one in a million, chance of a lifetime,
And life showed compassion,
And sent to me a stroke of luck called you,
A one in a million you.
I was a lonely man with empty arms to fill,
Then I found a piece of happiness to call my own.
And life is worth living, again,
For to love you, to me, is to live.
A one in a million, chance of a lifetime.
And life, showed compassion,
And sent to me, a stroke of luck, called you.
A one in a million you.
A one in a million, chance of a lifetime,
And life, showed compassion,
And sent to me, a stroke of luck called you...
A one in a million you, a one in a million.....you.
I was a lonely man with empty arms to fill,
Then I found a piece of happiness to call my own.
And life is worth living, again,
For to love you, to me, is to live.
A one in a million, chance of a lifetime.
And life, showed compassion,
And sent to me, a stroke of luck, called you.
There are lots of signs in life, some that you may not like
You could be living this minute, the next minute you are gone away
Hold up your head my brothers, be conscious my sisters
And by your works you shall surely be paid
Never try fi dis the man with the handle, the one who's got the title
The one who sits high and he looks down low
And if you ever dis the man with the handle, the one who's got the title
Then you will be someone that he don't know
Say a prayer and chant Psalms, prayer a day keep the evil calm
You don't have to go to church or be a Christian to call on Jah name
Shout out tha name Jehovah in the valleys
Shout out tha name Jehovah on the hills
Shout out tha name Jehovah on the plains or even if it rains
Call on the name, call on Jah name the same, call on the name, yeah
Never try fi dis the man with the handle, the one who's got the title
The one who sits high and he looks down low
And if you ever dis the man with the handle, the one who's got the title
Then you will be someone that he don't know
There are lots of signs in life, some that you may not like,
You could be living this minute, the next minute you are gone away
Hold up your head my brothers, be conscious my sisters
And by your works you shall surely be paid
You say you love me, baby
And we should be together
With you just drive me crazy
Now that we are together
I can't wait 'til the morning comes
I can't wait 'til the evening's done
You call me on the telephone
And tell me you're coming home
And now that we're together
We'll chase the stormy weather
And cherish every moment
That we should be together
It's so long we fell in love
And you left here, so all alone
Now you're here, I won't let you go
Will forever let this feeling flow
Lord, have mercy
Ooh, baby, sing it again
I can't wait 'til the morning comes
And I can't wait 'til the evening's done
You call me on the telephone
(Yes, girl)
And now that we're together
Will chase the stormy weather
And cherish every moment
That we should be together
It's so long, we fell in love
(Yes, girl)
And you left here, so all alone
Now you're here, I won't let you go
Will always let your feeling grow
Lord, have mercy
You're so wonderful, beautiful
Pretty, sexy lady
Oh, yes
You say you love me, baby
And we should be together
With you, just drives me crazy
Now that we are together
I can't wait 'til the morning comes
I can't wait 'til the evenings done
And you left here, so all alone
And tell me you're coming home
Sing it again
Lord, have mercy, why?
"I Believe I Can Fly"
I used to think that I could not go on
And life was nothing but an awful song
But now I know the meaning of true love
I'm leaning on the everlasting arms
If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it
I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
See I was on the verge of breaking down
Sometimes silence can seem so loud
There are miracles in life I must achieve
But first I know it starts inside of me, oh
If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it
[Repeat 1]
Hey, cause I believe in me, oh
If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it
[Repeat 1]
Hey, if I just spread my wings
I can fly
I can fly
I can fly, hey
If I just spread my wings
I can fly
Here I am, here I am
Ohh, yea
Here I am
Playing with those memories again
And just when I thought time has set me free
Those thoughts of you keep haunting me
Holding you, a feeling I never once knew
Though each and every part of me had tried
Only you can fill that space inside
But I guess am pretending, my heart is not mending
Just when I thought I was over you, yeah
Just when I thought I could stand on my own
Oh baby, those memories just come crashing through
And I just can't go on without you
On my own, I've tried to make the best of things alone
I've done everything I can to ease the pain
But only you can stop the rain
I just can't live without you, I've got everything about you
Just when I thought I was over you, yeah
Just when I thought I could stand on my own
Oh baby, those memories just come crashing through
And I just can't go on without you
On my own, I've tried to make the best of things alone
I've done everything I can to ease the pain
But only you can stop the rain
I just can't live without you, I've got everything about you
Oh, yes, yes
Here I am, here I am
Ohh, yea, yea, here I am
Playing with those memories again
And just when I thought time has set me free
Those thoughts of you keep haunting me
Holding you
Holding you
Holding you
Wuy!
La la we're just chi-chi-chillin, whoa oh ah yeah, hey

You dont remember me
But i remember you
It was not so long ago
You broke my heart in two
Tears on my pillow
Pain in my heart
Caused by you
If we could start it new
I wouldnt hesistate
I'd gladly take you back
And tell the hands of faith
Tears on my pillow
Pain in my heart
Caused by you
Love is not a gaget
Love is not a toy
When u find the one you love
They'll feel your heart with joy
If we could start it new
I wouldnt hesistate
I'd gladly take you back
And tell the hands of faith
Tears on my pillow
Pain in my heart
Caused by you
Tears on my pillow
Pain in my heart
Caused by you
Caused by you
(tears on my pillow, pain in my heart)
(tears on my pillow, pain in my heart)
(tears on my pillow, pain in my heart)
[Spoken:]
I just can't believe it, girl
I can't believe that it's over
But I'm your man, and I'll be alright
But still, the love we had
Stays on my mind
Lately baby, I've been thinking
How good it was when you were here
And it ain't the wine that I been drinking
For once I feel my head is clear
But early this morning, when I opened up my eyes
That old lonesome feeling took me by surprise
I guess you meant more to me than I realized
The love we had stays on my mind
The love we had stays on my mind
And lately girl, I've been remembering
The good times that we used to share
My thoughts of you don't have an ending
And memories of you are everywhere
But why should I tell you, it's not your concern
You win some, you lose some
Well I've lost and I've learned
Sisqo's so lonely
With no place to turn
And here at the end, I find
Yes I do
The love we had stays on my mind
Girl, if you were nearer
If you had a mirror
Maybe you could count my tears
And if you were nearer
It would all be clearer
How I wish that you were here
How I wish that you were here
How I wish, how I wish
How I wish that you were here
And baby girl I was tired
So I laid down to dream for a little while
But lately I've been so, so uninspired
Without the comfort of your smile
But I'm not complaining
Cuz that's how it goes
There's always some heartache
In this world I suppose
But you can't imagine
But nobody knows
The love we had stays on my mind
The love we had stays on my mind
The love we had stays on my mind
Let's take love one day at a time
Honey, I know you've asked me many times, yeah
If I every thought of leaving you for someone else
I guess you just don't see
You mean the world to me
Im never going to hurt you my dear

i will be sure that the lady is just like you
If i said the i could be your one and only
promise you will never leave you lonely

kinda feel as if I don't deserve you
i'll cherish every moment we share#

Sorry
Is all that you can't say
Years gone by and still
Words don't come easily
Like sorry like sorry
Forgive me
Is all that you can't say
Years gone by and still
Words don't come easily
Like forgive me forgive me
But you can say baby
Baby can I hold you tonight
Maybe if I told you the right words
At the right time you'd be mine
I love you
Is all that you can't say
Years gone by and still
Words don't come easily
When I was young I'd listened to the radio
Waiting for my favorite songs
When they played I'd sing along
It made me smile
Those were such happy times and not so long ago
How I wondered where they'd gone
But they're back again just like a long lost friend
All the songs I loved so well
****Every sha-la-la-la
Every wo-oo-wo-oo
Still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they're starting to sing's so fine
When they get to the part
Where he's breaking her heart
It can really make me cry just like before
It's yesterday once more
Shoo-bee-do-lang-dang
Looking back on how it was in years gone by
And the good times that I had
Makes today seem rather sad
So much has changed
It was songs of love that I would sing to them
And I'd memorize each word
Those old melodies still sound so good to me
As they melt the years away
Every sha-la-la-la
Every wo-oo-wo-oo
Still shines
Oldies,oldies but goodies
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they're starting to sing's so fine
All my best memories
Come back clearly to me
Some can even make me cry just like before
It's yesterday once more
Every sha-la-la-la
Every wo-oo-wo-oo
Still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they're starting to sing's so fine
Every sha-la-la-la
Every wo-oo-wo-oo
Still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
