Chillin', ridin' to the music
Laid back low, when I'm with you

Dressed real fly, feeling just right for the weather
Drop top back, where we're gonna go, don't know, wherever
Maybe to the park, or we'll just roll down the highway

Listen to me
You deserve all the heartache and the pain (Yes, you do)
Don’t come cryin’ talkin’ ‘bout he’s playin’ games
(No, no, no)
You should know life is what you make of it (No, no)
Regardless (No, no) who he is
If you put up with it you deserve it
Why you wanna be with him
‘Cause all you ever do is cry
He’ll tell you that you ain’t enough
He’s tearin’ you apart inside
And when you need a ear, I listen
To everything you have to say
I tell you every day to leave
But it seems you’d rather stay
And girl, a man could only do what you let him
And girl, it don’t do you no good to just sweat him
And girl, you can’t just let him abuse you
I’ll tell you what you should do
But if you choose not to you deserve
You deserve all the heartache and the pain (So when you’re hurt)
Don’t come cryin’ (Don’t) talkin’ ‘bout he’s playin’
games (Maybe you should know)
You should know life is what you make of it
Regardless who he is
If you put up with it you deserve it
Now that you’ve a guy who’ll kiss
But you use him as your strength
To get out of a bad situation
To get out this relationship
I promise you he’ll never change
I know you really want him to
So all the things he promises
I hope you don’t expect him to
And girl, a man can only do what you let him
And girl, it don’t do you no good to just sweat him,
oh, no, no
And girl, you can’t just this man abuse you
I’ll tell you what you should do
But if you choose not to then you deserve
You deserve all the heartache and the pain (Oh, oh, so
when you’re hurt, oh)
Don’t come cryin’ talkin’ ‘bout he’s playin’ games
(And you should know)
You should know life is what you make of it
Regardless who he is
If you put up with it then you deserve it
Peep the whole scene and whatever’s goin’ on around me
Burned out, clutchin’ my pillow, stuck in the County
You hate when I step off with honeys and ??
Who sayin’ I want a baby chase, you can’t relate
Pump your brakes, mami, please ‘cause you buggin’ me
And treat me worse than them streets, it’s like
doggin’ me out
But I could look into your eyes and see you achin’
inside
You hope I da-da-da-da-da-da-da
You deserve (And so you deserve)
You deserve all the heartache and the pain (Oh, oh,
heartache and the pain)
Don’t come cryin’ (Don’t come cryin’) talkin’ ‘bout
he’s playin’ games (No, no, no, no)
You should know life is what you make of it
Regardless who he is (Regardless)
If you put up with it, ooh, then you deserve it
Listen to me
Realize that I can make you see
Do you wanna live a lie
La-la-la-la-la-la-la (So listen)
You deserve all the heartache and the pain (Oh, oh, so
when you hurt)
Don’t come cryin’ talkin’ ‘bout he’s playin’ games
(And you should know)
You should know life is what you make of it (Life is
what you make of it, oh)
Regardless who he is (Regardless)
Chorus:
I should I should
Make a move, but I won't
I know you probably think something is wrong
Knew that it won't be right I wanna get down, but not the first night
Monica - Verse 1:
Saturday Night
Feeling kinda light
I wanna get close to you and let you call me your baby
Know it ain't right
It's just the first night
Sitting here looking and it's driving me crazy
Knew it was wrong for feeling this way
The thought of giving in on the first date
Couldn't let go it stayed on my mind
At the end of the night I had to decide
I was thinking...
Repeat Chorus 2x
Monica - Verse 2:
My body's telling me yes
You put me to the test
But I don't know how much longer I can keep my composure
Trying my best to deal with all of this
But at the same time I can feel us getting closer
Felt so right, but it felt so wrong
And look how we are carrying on
Trying to say things to get me to stay
But my watch is telling me it's getting too late
I'm thinking...
Repeat Chorus 2x
JD:
Tonight little kiss touch
We ain't gotta do all of that stuff
I'm just sitting here trying to chill with you
We ain't gotta rush
I just wanna ball with you
In and out the mall with you
Out of town on the phone all night call with you
Cheat Cheat
Baby I do my shit correct
You and me just met
You ain't supposed to be ready yet
Cause u don't know if I just want sex
And I don't know if you want my checks
Even though u probably expect for me to be kissing on your neck
Now Baby
R.O.C:
If you show me yours
I'll show you mine
I see u get hot and I know it's time
At 69 we can draw the line
Or you could give me yours and I'll owe you mine
When I meet the girl
Creep the girl
I freak the girl, I please the girl
If you need the girl, man keep the girl
Better hope R.O.C. don't see the girl
If I should I should make a move
Make it smooth
Take her to that crib
Lay her back put her in a groove
Make her ahh, make her ooh
Cause money come money go
So do a honey though
Love when they go "how low?"
Front, back, to the floor
Now keep on working that
Where Jersey at? Where Jersey at?
Repeat Chorus 2x
Bridge:
If u want me
You got to know me
And if you want my love you gotta wait my love
Baby that's the way it's got to be
Get to know me so we can do this
Repeat Chorus til the end
Verse 1:
Didn't think I'd be without you
Didn't think that I would see
Didn't think that I would lose my love
How could this happen to me
I must have took for granted
That you would always be there baby, believe
Sometimes I sit and wonder
When everything is over
How can I go on
Knowing that you're gone
Sometimes I sit and wonder
When everything is done
Will I ever get over you being my love
Chorus:
The only one for me
Wanting you so much
That I don't know what to do
Strung out on your love
Baby, I been missing you
Crazy for your touch
Lonely without you
I be missing you so much, yea
Verse 2:
Can't take one night without you
Don't wanna do anything
But sit around and think of
How I want you with me
Just can't erase these feelings
Somehow I know that time will make it better
Sometimes I sit and wonder
When everything is over
How can I go on
Knowing that you're gone
Sometimes I sit and wonder
When everything is done
Will I ever get over you being my love
Chorus to end
Why her, why her? Why her?
My last tear just fell from my eyes
Told myself that I wasn't goin' to cry no more
You did what you did, it is what it is
And that's why I walked out the door
Moved on with my life but not really
Spent too much time wonderin' how could you
You do this to us, thought we we're in love
Guess I was thinkin' too much
I was thinkin' that the sex had your love
You never could get enough 'coz you know I kept it hot
I listen to you tell me your dreams and your fears
I wiped your tears, I was there and that's why this is hurtin' me
Why her, why her? Did I get on your nerves?
Did I give you too much that you couldn't handle my love?
Why her, why her? Tell me what she was worth
To make you put her first and disown me?
You wanna come back, but I gotta know why her?
Thought she was all that, then why you at my door?
Now look at you, look at us, what's all this for?
Hope you got the answer to my question, why her?
This goin' to be the last time we say goodbye
Aint gonna be no reruns of this episode
You did what you did, it is what it is
Maybe if you would've told me you weren't happy
You weren't satisfied, we could've worked it out
Baby we could've tried but you didn't say nothin'
All along fakin' and frontin' and why?
I was thinkin' that the sex had your love
You never could get enough 'coz you know I kept it hot
I listen to you tell me your dreams and your fears
I wiped your tears, I was there and it hurts me
Why her, why her? Did I get on your nerves?
Did I give you too much that you couldn't handle my love?
Why her, why her? Tell me what she was worth
To make you put her first and disown me?
You wanna come back, but I gotta know why her?
Thought she was all that, why you at my door?
Now look at you, look at us, what's all this for?
Hope you got the answer to my question, why her?
Now ladies, y'all know I speak from experience, right?
I used to just look at him and wonder why, why her?
Ya know what I'm sayin'?
But ladies, I learn not to worry
About them livin' a happily ever after
'Coz see, that shit just built on a lie
So it should've fall, that's why I stand tall
I just looked at him and said this right here
Why her, why her? Did I get on your nerves?
Did I give you too much that you couldn't handle my love?
Why her, why her? Tell me what she was worth
To make you put her first and disown me?
The grass looks greener on the other side, why her?
But I promise, you'll be back tonight
Now look at you, look at us, what's all this for?
Hope you got the answer to my question, why her?
Why her? Tell me, why her? Why her?
I didn’t ask to go with you to Mexico
I really didn’t need the shopping sprees
In L.A. or Melrose, boy if you didn’t know it, well, now you know,
I didn’t need the furs or the jewelries
Because material things they don’t mean much to me
And ever since you've been gone
I have been holding us down on my own
I never ever cheated
I never ever lied
So you can stop asking, asking me why
Why I never left you, and why I kept it real
And why im still with you
You should’ve known better than to think I would leave
You should’ve known better than to doubt me
It don’t matter if you are up
matter if you are down
Either way im gonna be around
You should’ve known that I would stay by your side
You should’ve known your girl was gonna ride or die
And it just don’t matter if ya rich or poor
Out or in doing 5 to10
You should’ve known better
What makes you think that I would forget about you
Think about it who comes to see ya
Every Saturday and Monday I was on that receiver
It’s me your girl your life your world
My family and friends they just don’t understand
They say I should leave you lone
But I say that they should just leave us lone
Don’t u get it
I never ever cheated
I never ever lied
So u can stop asking, asking me why
Why I never left you, and why I kept it real
And why im still with you
You should’ve known better than to think I would leave
You should’ve known better than to doubt me
It don’t matter if you are up
matter if you are down
Either way im gonna be around
You should’ve known that I would stay by your side
You should’ve known your girl was gonna ride or die
And it just don’t matter if ya rich or poor
Out or in doing 5 to 10
You should’ve known better
You should’ve known better than to think I would leave
You should’ve known better than to doubt me
It don’t matter if you are up
Matter if you are down
Either way im gonna be around
You should’ve known that I would stay by your side
You should’ve known your girl was gonna ride or die
And it just don’t matter if ya rich or poor
Out or in doing 5 to10
Its just one of dem days
When I want to be all alone
Its just one of dem days
When I gotta be all alone
Verse 1:
I wanna take some time out
To think things through
I know it always feels like I'm doing you wrong
But I'm so in love with you
So understand that I'm only in love
You're the only one I need
So have no thought that I want to leave
And baby trust me please
Chorus:
Don't take it personal
Take the bitter with the sweet
Easy come, easy go
Don't take it personal
Take the bitter with the sweet
Cause good things come to an end
Don't take it personal
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Don't take it personal
Verse 2:
I sit and think about everything we do
And I find myself in misery and that ain't cool
Hey now I really wanna be with you the whole way through
But the way you make me feel inside gets me confused
As I swing back mood to mood
Its not because of you
I never want you to be insecure
So understand that I'm only in love
You're the only one I need
I'll be there for you when you need me boy
So baby don't you leave
Chorus
Don't take it personal, yeah
Don't take it personal
Don't take it personal
Take the bitter with the sweet
Easy come, easy go
Don't take it personal
Take the bitter with the sweet
Cause good things come to an end
(repeat til end)
Oceans apart
Day after day
And I slowly go insane
I hear your voice
On the line
But it doesn't stop the pain
I see you next to never
How can we stay forever
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
I took for granted
All the times
That I thought would last somehow
I hear the laughter and I taste the tears
But I can't get near you now
Oh can you see it baby
You've got me goin' crazy
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
I wonder how we can survive
This romance, but in the end if I'm with you
I'll take the chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaance
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
(I'll be, I'll be right right here, oh waiting on youuuuuuuuu)
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
I'll be right here waiting for you
Oh, I love you
Oh whatever it takes
Whatever you do
Where ever you go
I'm never leavin' you (I Will Be Waiting)
Do you remember me?
I sat upon your knee
I wrote to you with childhood fantasies
Well I'm all grown up now
Can you still help somehow?
I'm not a child but my heart still can dream
So here's my lifeful wish
My grown up Christmas List
Not for myself
But for a world in need
No more lives torn apart
That wars will never start
And time will heal our hearts
Every man will have a friend
That right will always win
And love will never end
This is my grown up Christmas List
May kindness rules our lives
Not just the strong survive
Sweet tears for all the thousand years on mind
This is the world I pray
We will all share some way
Help me begin by reaching out my hand
No more lives torn apart
That wars will never start
And time will heal our hearts
Every man will have a friend
That right will always win
And love will never end
This is my grown up Christmas List
Why does this illusion call the innocence of you?
Maybe when the time believe we can find the truth
No...
No more lives torn apart
That wars will never start
And time will heal our hearts
Every man will have a friend
That right will always win
And love will never end
This is my grown up Christmas List
This is the prayer that I will keep
This is my grown up Christmas list
Christmas list
so let them say its wrong for me to love me
they can never feel the way that i do when we kiss
when we're close like this
they cant see inside my soul
they cant know the love we know
all they do is waste their time
they can never change my mind
Chorus:
its what my heart says
that is what i listen to
its what my heart feels
that tells me what to do
it whats my heart knows
thats the only, only truth
i kno its real
all i hear is what my heart says to me
let them say that im a fool to fall so deeply
cause they will never ever feel love so completely
how can they even talk that way
they cant see it through my eyes
they cant feel this love inside
all their words dont mean a thing
they cant change the way i feel
and i have never felt so sure about anything
see you are the one
the one that i need
it doesnt matter what they think or what they say
im loving you any way
all i kno is what i feel
chorus.....
When you're feeling lost in the night,
When you feel your world just ain't right
Call on me, I will be waiting
Count on me, I will be there
Anytime the times get too tough,
Anytime your best ain't enough
I'll be the one to make it better,
I'll be there to protect you,
See you through,
I'll be there and there is nothing
I won't do.
I will cross the ocean for you
I will go and bring you the moon
I will be your hero your strength
Anything you need
I will be the sun in your sky
I will light your way for all time
Promise you,
For you I will.
I will shield your heart from the rain
I will let no harm come your way
Oh these arms will be your shelter
No these arms won't let you down,
If there is a mountain to move
I will move that mountain for you
I'm here for you, I'm here forever
I will be your fortress, tall and strong
I'll keep you safe,
I'll stand beside you, right or wrong
I will cross the ocean for you
I will go and bring you the moon (yeah, yeah)
I will be your hero your strength
anything you need (I will be..)
I will be the sun in your sky
I will light your way for all time
Promise you
For you I will
For you I will, lay my life on the line
For you I will fight, oooooh
For you I will die
With every breath, with all my soul
I'll give my world
I'll give it all
Put your faith in me (put you're faith in me)
And I'll do anything
I will cross the ocean for you (I will cross the ocean for you)

[Big Gipp]
Hey, enough
I know you're not gonna be all lame and choose
My house in Atlanta is what made you, you
You ain't never had nothin' till I paid the dues
My word is gold, I lay the rules
Why you trippin' on a brother about the things he do
Look, work can never matter how I got the loot
But you never hesitate when you drive the coupe
I made you ball, ain't that truth
[Monica]
I never asked for that much
If you stay, I laid here at night
Down at the gentleman's club
Seems like you can't get right
I knew when I saw the g's
You would be harder to please
You wanted more than enough
That's when it got too beat up
1 - [Monica]
Last time I was down for you
I though you really wanted to
Don't know how much pain it took
To put up that cash up on your boots
See I'm sick and tired boy
You can't even drive the cars
Sometimes I don't know what to do
What am I worth to you babe?
[Majic]
Yeah, yeah
See I'm in the Accolade
Coming through ride alone with flakes
The street's my home, up in the zone
Search a nigga's car tryin' to get my bone
Get my name, wear that thang
I don't know but I'm searching man
Lookin' for that sweet lick
No time for no cheap chick
I'm working
2 - [Monica]
You must believe
I gotta get you out of the streets
I disagree when you tell me that you're doing it for me
Just lean on me
I know you're in a little to deep
I gotta do what I gotta do to get you back here with me
[Monica]
I like the cash and all that
But I just can't watch my back
And if they catch me with you
Who knows what they wouldn't do?
You've spent too long in this game
My baby you gotta change
Before I lose you for life
I want to be your wife
Repeat 1
[JT Money]
See babygirl I gotta hustle
See I'm used to getting mine off the muscle
Everything that I do, I did for us two
Getting' mine on the grind is a must too
Plus you want all them finer things
I bought a compact, clothes, a diamond ring
Everything's on paper, they keep me on the caper
If it ain't about bread then I'mma holla at you later, baby
Repeat 2 (2x)
[Monica] (JT Money)
Out of the streets, streets, streets, streets, streets
(What? Yeah it's on three, it's on four, it's on five)
Out of the streets, streets, streets, streets, streets
(Yeah Southwest, uh, uh, uh)
Out of the streets, streets, streets, streets, streets
(I ain't never gonna stop)
Out of the streets, streets, streets, streets, streets
(Y'all know what it is)
Repeat 2 till end
If I told you
I'll be the one to make all your dreams true
If I gave you
All the things that make a man feel so good
If I need you
To come here before I give it to you
If I had to
I would change the world and make it feel love for you
Chorus:
If you do what say do
I promise we can do whateva'
You want to cause I want you
Say love me & I'm down 4 whateva'
repeat
Verse 2
Now that it's clear I hope you understand the way I'm feelin
And now that you're here you can't stop thinking of what I want to hear
Now that it's true I can stop holdin' back and do what I do
And when we're through I lay in your arms and say I love you
I believe we can be
Whateva we want to no matter the dilemma
And I believe that you will see it may take forever
But we finally got together
And I believe it will be all about us cause baby I love you
And then they will see what we mean
When we say we were together for eternity
(Chorus x2)
Verse 3
Tell me what happens when you think of me
Do you think of the things I'm feeling
Cause when I see you I start trembling
My knees start shakin' just glad to be with you
Tell me your love will always be with me
Promise me you would never leave
And then take me where I want to be
Cause I need you baby, I'm needing you crazy (ohoh!I!!)
Chorus Out
Yeah...yeah
Oh...oh...
Oh...
Listen
Boy, it's been a long time
Since the last time I saw you
Feels like nothin' changed
Since we've been together
I must admit that I go crazy bout' you
And I can see it in your eyes
That there's somethin' you want to say to me
'Cause usually right now
You'll be holdin' on to me
But instead your telling me
Tha things have changed, they're not the same
And recently you found someone that you
Decided to dedicate your whole life to
And what we had is 'bout to be through
And baby, what hurts the most is letting go
I just want you to know that I love you so
I know things are different now, you've gone and settled down
I thought for sure you'd always wait me
I'll tell you what hurts the most is I should have took the chance
Boy, when you came to me and offered me your hand
Silly of me I thought I'd always have your heart
I had the chance to have all the love oh, how I'm missing now
I hate that there is someone new
Comin' in and takin' my place
Doin' the things that we used to do
And makin' love to you
And oh, what am I supposed to do
It's killin' me 'cause I want you
And you should have known my love was true
And there's no one else in this world for me but you
But things have changed, they're not the same
And recently you found someone that you
Decided to dedicate your whole life to
And what we had is got to be through
And baby, what hurts the most is letting go
I just want you to know that I love you so
You know things are different now, you're gonna settle down
And I thought for sure you'd always wait for me
I'll tell you what hurts the most is I should have took a chance
Boy, when you came to me and offered me your hand
Silly of me I thought I'd always have your heart
I had the chance to have all your love oh, how I'm missing now
I know that I'm the one to blame for losing you, oh yeah
I really, really wish that I could be happy for you
There's just one thing I need you to do
Don't you touch her like you used to touch me
Don't you love her like you really needed me
Don't you love her like you used to love me
Baby what hurts the most is letting go
I just want you to know that I love you so
I know things are different now, you're gonna settle down
I thought for sure you'd always wait me
I'll tell you what hurts the most is I should have took a chance
Boy, when you came to me and offered me your hand
Silly of me I thought I'd always have your heart
I had the chance to have all your love oh, how I'm missing now
What hurts the most is letting go
Just to let you know I love you so
What hurts the most is letting go
Just to let you know I love you so

Baby baby tell me what's up
Can you hear me hear me
Or do I need to turn it up
Baby baby tell me what's up
Can you hear me hear me
Or do I need to turn it up huh
So So Def
[Monica]
I should I should make a move but I won't (c'mon)
I know you're probably thinking something is wrong (it's the remix)
Knowing that it won't be right
I don't get down on the first night (c'mon)
It's Saturday night, feeling kinda right
I wanna get close to you, and let you call me your baby
I know it ain't right, it's just the first night
I couldn't keep lookin' and it's driving me crazy
I know it was wrong for feeling this way
The thought of getting it on the first date
Couldn't let go it stayed on my mind
At the end of the night, I had to decide
I was thinking
[Chorus]
I should, I should make a move but I won't
I know you're probably thinking something is wrong
Knowing that it won't be right
I wanna get down, but not the first night
I should, I should make a move but I won't
I know you're probably thinking something is wrong
Knowing that it won't be right
I don't get down on the first night
You're telling me yes, putting me to the test
Don't know how much longer I can keep my composure
Trying my best to deal with all of this
But at the same time I can feel us getting closer
Felt so right but it felt so wrong
And look how you're carrying on
Trying to say things to get me to stay
But my watch is telling me it's getting too late
I'm thinking
[Chorus]
[JD]
Shhh, check this out
Tonight, lil' kiss, touch, we ain't gotta do all of that stuff
I'm just sittin' here tryin' to chill with you, we ain't gotta rush
I just wanna ball with you, in and out the mall with you
Out of town on the phone, all night call with you
Chi-Chi, baby, I do all my shit correct
Just you and me, just lay, you ain't suppose to be ready yet
Cuz you don't know if I want just sex and I don't know if you want my check
Even though you probably just expecting me to be kissin' on your neck
Now baby
[ROC]
Show me yours and I'll show you mine
I see you get hot and I know it's time
At 69 we could draw the line
I know you could give me yours
And I owe you mine
When I meet the girl, I creep the girl
I freak the girl, I please the girl
If you need the girl, man, keep the girl
Let the whole Roc gon' see the girl
If I should, I should make a move
Make it smooth, take it to that crib
Let that player lazy groove
Make her ahh, make her ooh
Cuz money come, money go
So So, honey dough, love it when they go how low
Front, back to the flow
Now keep on workin' at
With Jersey hat, with Jersey hat
[Chorus]
[Monica]
If you want me, you got to know me
If you want my love (c'mon)
You gotta wait, my love (shake 'em off, shake 'em off)
Baby, that's the way it's got to be
Get to know me (shake 'em off, shake 'em off)
[Chorus to end]
(Interlude)
Love brings intensity
How I know it's plan to see,
Boy there's a woman in me
Intensity brings misery
How I know it's plan to see,
Boy there's a woman in me
Your wondering how I know
(There's a woman in me)
That's how I know
(There's a woman in me)
Your wondering how I know
(There's a woman in me)
That's how I know
(There's a woman in me)
Your wondering how I know
(There's a woman in me)
That's how I know
(There's a woman in me)

Verse 1:
He's my man and I know it
Cause I get a tremblin' deep in my soul
That I can't ignore and I can't control it
What a man, whoa!
He's my fortress
I'm safe from harm when everything is all wrong
May not play ball and ain't trippin on my record deal
Still he is to me an amazing thrill
He's my man and I'm proud about it
I'm gon' shout about it
Ain't no doubt about it
Chorus:
That's my man
Ain't gon' let no one say nothing bad 'bout my baby
That's my man
Spent too many nights on my knees praying to Jesus
I'm his lady
That's my man
Ladies you know a good man is hard to find
And now I got mine
You better believe it
That's my man
He's the only one for me
Verse 2:
Slow your role
See how you gon' tell me 'bout my man when you ain't got a man of your own
See I already know
You can't stand my man really loves me
Don't cheat, or beat, or sleep around on me and cares about my needs
We fuss and fight but he knows when it's over
That every night I'm positive my man is coming home to me
He's my man and I'm proud about it
I'm gon' shout about it
Ain't no doubt about it
Chorus:
That's my man
Ain't gon' let no one say nothing bad 'bout my baby
That's my man
Well in a fight keep it right and keep it tight
I'm his lady
That's my man
You say he's cheating
I didn't see it, I don't believe it
He's my baby
That's my man
He's the only one for me
Bridge:
(Ladies...)
If you're willing to do whatever
Look in his eyes and tell him I love you boy
Yeah, yeah and if he's not there at the moment
Call him and let him know I love you boy
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
God smiled on me when he brought you in my life
Never wanna do you wrong
Always gonna do you right
You mean more to me than anything else in the world
You'll always be my man
I'll always be your girl
(God smiled on me when...Repeat 2x)
And I need you for the rest of my lfe
Ooo I love my man
Makes me feel so good inside
Ooo I feel so sorry for the ladies that don't have love in their life
Cause mine loves me right

He gave me something that I've never seen
Oh and I love him
Said that I love him
Oh I love him, I love him, I love him
featuring Majic
[Monica]:
Oh yeah oh
There's something that I wanna say
Feel a little out of place
But I need you to make that change
You promised to keep me out of the rain
I love the cars and everything
The diamond rings
But I love you much more baby
1 You said that you were gonna stop when you had enough
Do what you had to do
Now you like the profession you made it for yourself
You said forget about me and you
From now on, all you wanna do is hustle
you gotta choose, whatcha gonna do
What am I worth to you, baby
2 - Never thought I'd be afraid to trust
Somebody that I love so much
If I can get him out of the streets
Then he can come back to me
Now I see that it ain't no rush
Baby, to me that's a definite plus
If I can't get you outta the streets
Then you don't need to be with me
Do you love me like you say
Then maybe you could get away
>From the life of doing the wrong things
You promised, don't make me read about it babe
Think of me before I'm gone
Cuz when I'm gone, it will be too late
Oh yeah

Alright but you're gonna take care of me
Make me the king of this throne, for life
Girl I'm so lucky to have you girl in my life
And that's right
I know you love me, I hear you telling me right
Angel of mine, God must have sent you from the heavens above
And oh how i thank You for sending me this unconditional love
To this thug

But you weren't there for me
It's either the streets or me

Another woman, keep it real

(new monica baby)
Oh oh oh, oh yeah yes, oh oh oh, my, my
Here we are face to face
With the memories that can't be erased
Although we need each other
Things that changed, it's not the same
Sometimes it makes me wonder
Where would I be, if you hadn't discovered
Which I did, inside of me
I know there was something, that we could compare
Oh, well, I,
- Never meant to cause you no pain
I just wanna go back to being the same
Well I, only wanna make things right
Before you walk out of my life
Remembering the good times
From a portrait hung on high
It's filled with so much color
And the laughter we left behind
I made the choice and you couldn't decide
I made the choice, I was wrong you were right
Deep down inside, I apologize
Though I made plans with you
To always have time for you
(Before you walk out of my life)
I guess it's true, cannot live without you
Don't ever go away, ooh oh yeah
Monica:
Sit yourself down boy and talk to me
Tell me what's on your mind
Don't keep on telling me everything's okay
Cause if it was then you wouldn't be crying
You been acting real funny when I see you lately
Sitting around poutin' all day long
Now how in the world do you expect me to understand
When I not even know what's wrong

Instead of being apart of a problem baby
You and me otta be getting along, yeah....

Boy this evening, was it only me
Feeling completely, down to be open
Down to be open
For some satisfaction
Didn't wanna say yes, hating your reaction
I knew it was wrong, for feeling this way
Especially the thought of giving in on the first date
Couldn't let go, it stayed on my mind
At the end of the night I had to decide
I was thinking!
I should make a move but I won't
I know your probably thinking something is wrong
Knowing if I do then it won't be right
I don't get down on the first night
I should make a move but I won't
I know your probably thinking something is wrong
Knowing if I do then it won't be right
I wanna get down but not the first night
We were chillin watchin your t.v.
Wanted to touch you, wanted to kiss you
And somehow in one night discover I love you
Felt so right but it felt so wrong
And look how we are carrying on
Trying to say things to get me to stay
But my watch tells me its getting to late
I'm thinking!
(Chorus)
If you want me
You got to know me
And if you want my love
You gotta wait my love
Baby, that's the way it's got to be
Get to know me so we can do this
(Chorus)

See ya from across the room
It's Friday night and
I'm going to a party
With my man, to dance
As soon as we get in
He is lost with his friends and
I'm there, in a trance
I can tell that someone's looking at me
And I didn't come here by myself
But he left me here at someone else's feet
So it must mean he didn't care
I'm goin' on
See you from across the room
Like you wanna know me
If you wanna make a move
Meet me on the dance floor
Though I'm here with someone else
He's not what I'm looking for
Instead I've seen him 'cross the room
Meet me on the dance floor
As the night goes on
Each dance makes me wonder
What is on, your mind
More than a dance as you pull
Up to me it feels, alright
Let me know what you wanna do
Can't you tell that I'm missing you
Let me know that you're right on time
Cause I'm lookin for someone else tonight
See you from across the room
It's friday night and i'm going to a party
with my man to dance
Soo as we get in he is lost with his friends
and i'm there in a trance
Bridge:
I can tell that someone's looking at me
And I didn't come here by myself
But he left me here as someones else's......
So it must be he didn't care
I'm goin on
Chorus:
See you from across the room
Like you wanna know me boy
If you wanna make a move
Meet me on the dance floor
Thought i'm here with someone else
He's not what i'm looking for
Instead of sittin' cross da room
Meet me on the dance floor
As the night goes on each glance,
makes me wonder what is on your mind
More than a dance as you,
pull up to me and it feels alright
(Bridge)
(Chorus)
Let me know what you wanna do
Can you tell that i'm into you
I'm lettin' you know that your right on time
Cause i'm looking for someone else tonight

You think your lucky caught a quicky in a nap
A hicky on your lap
That's the payback for the scratches you left on my back
You wouldn't need a toy-friend with a boyfriend
Or somethin proper if you slept under the thunder
Keep my number I heard your next best is now ya next ex
'Cause in the middle what a best sex you yelled "Treach"
An' I ain't mad at'cha yet
What'cha pimp daddy don't know won't hurt him.
Who loves ya best?
(MONICA)
Treat me like your young lady
Special things you say to me
Feels so good to be with you my baby
Doesn't matter what they think
'Cause I'm gonna be here anyway
There's no need to feel ashamed because you're on my mind
And everytime I say "I love you" it's with a pride
And everytime i say "I need you" it's from inside
Because my heart is forever,the things you do
You do just for me,that's why I love you baby
CHORUS x 2
That's why I love you baby
VERSE 3:(TREACH)
I kinda wanna turn ya Poverty to Paradise
You say ya lonely,keep ya head up,honey where ya eyes?
We can keep it on a low-down-down,I don't go down,I throw down

Tellin' you he need you plus his baby momma need me
But I'm gonna get betwenn the love of this,I'll let him my keys
Cry in my arms so you cry no more at last
Feed ya body,I'll drive ya rush Audi
So trust me hottie like there ain't nobody
(That's why I love you baby)
CHORUS TO FADE
There's something that I wanna say
I feel a little out of place
But I need you to make that change
You promised, to keep me out of the rain
I love the cars and everything
The diamond rings but I loved you much more, baby
You said, that you were gonna stop when you
Had enough, you'd do what you had to do
Now you, like the profession you've made it for yourself
You said, you cared about me and you
Now all, you wanna do is hustle you
Gotta choose, whatcha gonna do and am I worth it to you baby
Never thought I'd be afraid to trust (to trust)
Somebody that I love so much
If I can get him out of the streets
Then he could come back to me
Now I see that there ain't no "us"
Baby to me that's a definite plus
If I can't get you out of the streets
Then you don't need to be with me
Do you love me like you say
Maybe you could get away
From the life of doin' the wrong things
You promised
Don't make me read about it babe
Think of me before I'm gone
Cause when I'm gone, it will be to late (oh yeah babe)
You said, that you were gonna stop when you
Had enough, you'd do what you had to do
Now you, like the profession you've made it for yourself (made it for yourself)
You said, you cared about me and you
Now all, you wanna do is hustle you (you you)
Gotta choose, whatcha gonna do when I'm not worth it to you baby
Never thought I'd be afraid to trust
Somebody that I love so much
If I can get him out of the streets
Then he could come back to me
Now I see that there ain't no "us"
Baby to me that's a definite plus
If I can't get you out of the streets
Then you don't need to be with me
Never thought I'd be afraid to trust (Never, never, never)
Somebody that I love so much
If I can get him out of the streets
Then he could come back to me (co~me back, to me)
Now I see that there ain't no "us" (there ain't no us baby)
Baby to me that's a definite plus
If I can't get you out of the streets (If I Can Get You Outta the streets)
Then you don't need to be with me (Then you don't need to be with me)
I see what cha sayin', now let's just leave 'tis alone; alright
So ya goin to take hell make me da king of 'tis draw
For life
But I'm so lucky to have you girl in my life
And that's right
I know you love me out here
You tellin' me right
Angel of Mine
God must have sent you from the heavens above
And oh, I take it with cinnamon as of unconditional love
To this thug;
For that, let baby-daddy get out da game
With no shame
Do you remember me?
I sat upon your knee
I wrote to you with childhood fantasies
Well I'm all grown up now
Can you still help somehow?
I'm not a child but my heart still can dream
So here's my lifeful wish
My grown up Christmas List
Not for myself
But for a world in need
No more lives torn apart
That wars will never start
And time will heal our hearts
Every man will have a friend
That right will always win
And love will never end
This is my grown up Christmas List
May kindness rules our lives
Not just the strong survive
Sweet tears for all the thousand years on mind
This is the world I pray
We will all share some way
Help me begin by reaching out my hand
No more lives torn apart
That wars will never start
And time will heal our hearts
Every man will have a friend
That right will always win
And love will never end
This is my grown up Christmas List
Why does this illusion call the innocence of you?
Maybe when the time believe we can find the truth
No...
No more lives torn apart
That wars will never start
And time will heal our hearts
Every man will have a friend
That right will always win
And love will never end
This is my grown up Christmas List
This is the prayer that I will keep
This is my grown up Christmas list
This is so annoying
I'd say grow up but I know that you won't
I don't understand what's so hard
You either wanna be with me or you don't
One day you love me
Next day you wanna leave
You're so up and down
Off in your own
Well, I'm about good and tired of this
Too fly for you to not know what you want
So let me know whatcha gonna do?
Stay or go 'cause I'm not waiting
Baby, yes or no, I'm about to decide for you
Stay or go, stay or go, stay or go
Stay or go, stay or go
Tried to give you real love
That's when you up and run away
But when I act like I'm done with you
That's when you decide you wanna stay
I don't got time to waste like this
Too fly to put up with your day to day
So let me know whatcha gonna do?
Stay or go 'cause I'm not waiting
Yes or no, I'm about to decide for you
Stay or go, stay or go
Stay or go, stay or go
Let me know whatcha gonna do, do, do?
I gotta know, know 'cause I'm not waiting
Not anymore, about to decide for you
Stay or go, I gotta know, stay or go
Yes or no, whatcha gonna do?
Stay or go 'cause I'm not waiting
Yes or no, I'm about to decide for you
Stay or go, stay or go
They say when you find the one
There'll be no second guessing
You'd feel it deep in your heart
You'll know that it was destined
The feelin' inside will let you know
Something that you can't deny, just let it grow
They say it's better to love then never love at all
To appreciate all the good sometimes you gotta fall
But I was foolish
I shouldn't let you go
But now I miss you
I gotta let you know
I need you back, back in my life
I need your kiss, kiss in my life
And it's been so long since you been gone
Baby, won't you come back home?
You only get one
One love
One in a lifetime
You only get one
One love
One in a lifetime
And I can't believe that I almost missed the signs
Right in front of my eyes
And now I know the love is real, it's hard to say why
You only get one
One love
One in a lifetime
And that one is you
They say that pleasure
Comes with pain
And I'm so used to being whole
It's hard to be half again
And you gotta feel the same way
My tears are steady falling like a pouring rain
Tell me, will the forecast change?
If you love somebody, gotta let 'em know
Tomorrow's never promised, you gotta let it show
If you love somebody you gotta let 'em know
Tomorrow's never promised, you gotta let it show
I need you back, back in my life
I need your kiss, kiss in my life
And it's been so long since you been gone
Baby, won't you come back home?
You only get one
One love
One in a lifetime
You only get one
One love
One in a lifetime
Can't believe that I almost missed the signs
Right in front of my eyes
And now I know the love is real, it's hard to say why
You only get one
One love
One in a lifetime
And that one is you
And that one is you
And that one is you
And that one is you, is you
I will climb the highest mountain
Swim the deepest oceans for you, you, you
I will walk across the desert
Just to get that message to you, you, you
There ain't a thing in this world that I wouldn't do
Right hand to the man, boy, I'm tellin' the truth
So all my ladies, if you feel me then put your hands up
For that one, for that one
You only get one
One love
One in a lifetime
You only get one
One love
One in a lifetime
And I can't believe that I almost missed the signs
Right in front of my eyes
And now I know the love is real, it's hard to say why
You only get one
One love
One in a lifetime
One in a lifetime
That one
That one
That one
That one
You only get one
One love
One in a lifetime
You only get one
One love
One in a lifetime
And I can't believe that I almost missed the signs
Right in front of my eyes
And now I know the love is real, it's hard to say why
You only get one
One love
One in a lifetime
Mirror, mirror
Oh, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
From the second I laid eyes on you
In the mirror, in that dressing room
Seeing you with me, I finally knew
The picture was complete
I used to have my share of lonely days
Beneath the makeup and the darkest shades
But ever since you came I know
The meaning of true love again
It's not the bags or the trips or the clothes
It's not the fans or the sold-out shows
It's the way that you see through my soul
I'm so exposed
When I look at myself in the mirror
I don't have to feel ashamed
Now it couldn't be much clearer
I'll never have to search again
When I look at myself in the mirror
I don't even recognize the girl [Incomprehensible]
'Cause now I sit by my side
When I look at myself in the mirror
No, nothing's ever gonna be the same
Forget the fortune, you can keep the fame
Maybe if I had to choose, you know
I'd trade it every time for you
'Cause this reflection that I'm staring at
Is so amazing I can't turn my back
And every time I look at you and me together
Boy, I know the truth, oh
It's not the bags or the trips or the clothes
It's not the fans or the sold-out shows
It's the way that you see through my soul
I'm so exposed
When I look at myself in the mirror
I don't have to feel ashamed
Now it couldn't be much clearer
I'll never have to search again
When I look at myself in the mirror
I don't even recognize the girl [Incomprehensible]
'Cause now I sit by my side
When I look at myself in the mirror
I can't help it
I can't help it
I can't help it
I can't help it
Now she's running from love, that's all I'm guilty of
And I don't have to search no more
Found what I'm looking for in the mirror, in the mirror
When I look at myself in the mirror
I don't have to feel ashamed
Now it couldn't be much clearer
I'll never have to search again
When I look at myself in the mirror
I don't even recognize the girl [Incomprehensible]
'Cause now I sit by my side
When I look at myself
Baby, I see you, baby, I see me
Hope that we could be forever
In the mirror, in the mirror
Baby, I see you, baby, I see me
Hope that we could be forever
Verse 1
Must not have been paying attention
I stepped right on it didn't even notice how deep i was
I went from the ground to the top of the cloud
And now as i look down i see where i fell into your arms
Chorus
Now i got Love all over me
Baby you touch Every part of me
I got Love all over me
And i don't want to get it off
I'm completely covered up in your love
Verse 2
Even my skin is changing
I'm feeling warmer no more icey blue hearts for me
You put the color back in my life
And now where there was black and white
Oooh love made me iridescent.
Chorus
Now i got Love all over me
Baby you touch Every part of me
I got Love all over me
And i don't want to get it off
I'm completely covered up in your love
Bridge
Before your love baby i was muddy
Filthy with pain till you took it from me
You showered me with a new beginning
Now i'm clean
Took me by surprise when you ran up on me
I came to life baby in that moment
You put your hands on my heart and baby
now it beats
Chorus
Now i got Love all over me
Baby you touch Every part of me
Ooh Ooh
I got Love all over me
And i don't want to get it off

I'll break the code
And I'll call them back
You a liar
And I don't want you
No more
And I'm walkin' out
The door
Boy, bye-bye
Bye-bye
I apologize for what I've done, I admit that I was losing control
Didn't know that I was selling my soul, to someone who didn't care at all
Couldn't see that you were bad for me, gave so much that it was making me weak
Now I can't believe the way that it feels, to finally be free
Chours:
I've moved on and I'm strong
I'm going back to the place, where I know I belong
And I'm glad, that you're gone
Cause you're not what I need, I'm Beleiving in me
I've moved on and I'm strong
I'm going back to the place, where I know I belong
Cause I'm right and you're wrong
Cause you're not what I need, this time I'm beleiving in me
The love I had for you was so deep, I didn't notice there was something wrong with me
When someone asked me was there anything I need, I would cry and tell them pray for me
But now I know exactly what it is, so I'm changing up the way that I live
And I'm never letting go of my dreams, and baby you'll see
Chours:
I've moved on and I'm strong
I'm going back to the place, where I know I belong And I'm glad, that you're gone
Cause you're not what I need, I'm Beleiving in me
I've moved on and I'm strong I'm going back to the place, where I know I belong Cause I'm right and you're wrong
Cause you're not what I need, I'm finally beleiving in me
So I hope you can forgive me, I'm not gonna be the way that I used to be
Starting over can be so scary, but I'm gonna believe
Promise I'm not gonna let me down, and my transformation's starting right now
But I'm really glad you stuck around, cause you believed in me
I'm finally beleiving in me....
Chours:
I've moved on and I'm strong
I'm going back to the place, where I know I belong
And I'm glad, that you're gone
Cause you're not what I need, I'm Beleiving in me
I've moved on and I'm strong
Going back to the place, where I know I belong
Cause I'm right and you're wrong
I ain't never had nothin' quite like this
And can't believe a girl done made
A come up like this
Ain't never been in love like this before
I ain't never seen a ring shine like this
I ain't never had nobody fit me like this
I can't believe that all of this is happenin' to me
If I'm dreamin', let me sleep
Boy, you, you got my back and baby, I got yours
You, you got that lovin' that I would die for
Boy, I've been waitin' all this time
And livin' with nothing but now I got
Now I got everything, I got a good man
I'm makin' weddin' plans, yeah
The one I took home to Mom and Dad
He stole my heart
Now I got everything, someone who don't cheat
Somebody who won't leave me lonely
Even though it took a lifetime to get here
Now finally I got everything, it's you
Never had no one go half on a baby
Someone to do it like I like
Can serve me daily
No one ever love me like this before
I never had a house feel like a home
I never had a man that was full grown
Baby, what'd I do to deserve you?
I may never know but I know I got you
You got my back and baby, I got yours
You got that lovin' that I would die for
Boy, I've been waitin' all this time
And livin' with nothing but now I got you
Now I got everything, I got a good man
I'm makin' weddin' plans, yeah
The one I took home to Mom and Dad
He stole my heart
Now I got everything, someone who don't cheat
Somebody who won't leave me lonely
Even though it took a lifetime to get here
Now finally I got everything, it's you
Now that I got you, I never wanna lose you
I love everything you do, don't wanna live without you
Just what I've been missin', all this love, I'm givin'
I wouldn't trade it for nothin', my everything is you
Now I got everything, I got a good man
I'm makin' weddin' plans, yeah
The one I took home to Mom and Dad
He stole my heart

The one I took home to Mom and Dad
Monica, Twista, Twista, you already know
It's the 17th, one week before the day you were born
I been makin' big plans just for over a month
Tryin' to make this the best birthday you ever had
Show you that you're my baby
Damn, all this strain got me feelin' somethin's wrong
Pulled up to my gate, they keep sayin', ?He's gone?
Found envelopes in between my door
Biggest day got me panickin', what the hell this letter gonna read?
Hell no, you say you don't want it no more
Hell no, you say you can't give me what I want
Hell no, how you just gonna leave
When I stayed wit you through hard times and you cheated?
Hell no, I hate to say it but I need it
Hell no, God, please talk to me
Hell no, your so called love was so deep when it told you
You should run far and not give a damn about me
How could you leave me when you see me desperately
In need of what we had before? How could you leave home
I cried so many times but never did it cross my mind
To think but let it go, how could you leave home
Didn't even ever see if we ever meant this shit before
But we been down this road before, how could you leave home
How could you leave me, baby? Please my heart is beating
For the beat we had before, how could you leave home
Now I need you, wanna laugh, wanna stand
Wanna get just one more chance just to see you
All my friends, all my kin say, ?Mo, just let that end?
But I breath you
In the driveway, I found pictures on the ground of our first date
I never in a million years thought this would be me
I'm trapped in love with somebody that no longer thinks
I'm somebody special, look at me
Hell no, you say you don't want it no more
Hell no, you say you can't give me what I want
Hell no, how you just gonna leave
When I stayed wit you through hard times and you cheated?
Hell no, I hate to say it but I need it
Hell no, God, please talk to me
Hell no, your so called love was so deep that it told you
You should run far and not give a damn about me
How could you leave me when you see me desperately
In need of what we had before? How could you leave home?
I cried so many times but never did it cross my mind
To think but let it go, how could you leave home?
Didn't even ever see if we ever meant this shit before
But we been down this road before, how could you leave home?
How could you leave me, baby? Please my heart is beating
For the beat we had before, how could you leave home?
Monica and Twista, y'all
I remember when you said I couldn't get none of that
Then I remember when you let me hit it from the back
I remember we was young and sprung
And steady talkin' on the phone and how we both kept runnin' back
To each other, we were always together forever to the end
I don't really know why I froze up
Plannin' for a weddin' but gettin' married, it's scary
Now I got you cryin' 'cause a nigga didn't show up
Can't really tell you why but I'm Twista from the Chi
And I'm dyin' inside 'cause I know I really want you
So for leavin' one day, I will have to give you the answer, girl
But right now, I can't tell you why I left, girl
Sweet personality and good sex, girl
Fear will take a man life, you suppose to be my wife
Goodbye, hope to see you in the next world
You was all up under me, actin' like you was so in love
I was talkin' 'bout you but thug nigga, what you runnin' for?
Cop wit you in the Benz, you the first one seen on the block wit it
Took you to the club, showed you how to 'Lean Wit It, Rock Wit It'
You was bold when you wanna get some of that
When you wanna hit the hole like a running back
Then you left, now you wanna come runnin' back
Hell no, nigga, I don't wanna hear none of that
I know you quick, betta spit that shit to so
All I ever wanna say to you is
How could you leave me when you?
How could you leave me when you?
How could you leave me when you see me desperately
In need of what we had before? How could you leave home?
I cried so many times but never did it cross my mind
To think but let it go, how could you leave home?
Didn't even ever see if we ever meant this shit before
But we been down this road before, how could you leave home?
How could you leave me, baby? Please my heart is beating
For the beat we had before, how could you leave home?
All the women I caught you with
Still I didn't leave but I didn't forget
All those women I caught you with
Maybe I didn't leave but I didn't forget
All those women I caught you with
But I didn't leave but I didn't forget
All those women, women I caught you with
I didn't leave but I didn't forget

But instead you're tellin' me
The things have changed, they're not the same
And recently you found someone that you
Decided to dedicate your whole life to
And what we had has got to be through
And baby, what hurts the most is letting go
I just want you to know that I love you so
I know things are different now, you've gone and settled down
And I thought for sure you'd always wait for me
I'll tell you what hurts the most is I should have took the chance
Boy, when you came to me and offered me your hand
Silly of me, I thought, I'd always have your heart
I had the chance to have all the love, oh, how I'm missing you now
I hate that there is someone new
Comin' in and takin' my place
Doin' the things that we used to do
And makin' love to you
And oh, what am I supposed to do?
It's killin' me 'cause I want you
And you should have known my love was true
And there's no one else in this world for me but you
But things have changed, they're not the same
And recently you found someone that you
Decided to dedicate your whole life to
And what we had has got to be through
And baby, what hurts the most is letting go
I just want you to know that I love you so
I know things are different now, you've gone and settled down
And I thought for sure you'd always wait for me
I'll tell you what hurts the most is, I should have took the chance
Boy, when you came to me and offered me your hand
Silly of me, I thought, I'd always have your heart
I had the chance to have all the love, oh, how I'm missing you now
I know that I'm the one to blame for losing you, oh yeah
I really, really wish that I could be happy for you
There's just one thing I need you to do
Don't you touch her like you used to touch me
Don't you love her like you really need me
Don't you love her like you used to love me
And baby, what hurts the most is letting go
I just want you to know that I love you so
I know things are different now, you've gone and settled down
And I thought for sure you'd always wait for me
I'll tell you what hurts the most is, I should have took the chance
Boy, when you came to me and offered me your hand
Silly of me, I thought, I'd always have your heart
I had the chance to have all the love, oh, how I'm missing you
What hurts the most is letting go
Just to let you know, I love you so
What hurts the most is letting go
Just to let you know, I love you so
What hurts the most
If I told you
I'll be the one to make all your dreams true
If I gave you
All the things that make a man feel so good
If I made you
Commit to me before I give it to you
If I had to
I would change the world and make it feel love for you
If you do what say do
I promise we can do whateva'
You want to cause I want you
Say love me & I'm down 4 whateva'
Now that it's clear I hope you understand the way I'm feelin
And now that you're here you can't stop thinking of what I want to hear
Now that it's true I can stop holdin' back and do what I do
And when we're through I lay in your arms and say I love you
I believe we can be
Whateva we want to no matter the dilemma
And I believe that you will see it may take forever
But we finally got together
And I believe it will be all about us cause baby I love you
And then they will see what we mean
When we say we were together for eternity
Tell me what happens when you think of me
Do you think of the things I'm feeling
Cause when I see you I start trembling
My knees start shakin' just glad to be with you
Tell me your love will always be with me
Promise me you would never leave
And then take me where I want to be
When I hear the children of today
They're questioning me the way
The way that they should live
I often wonder, wonder what to do
To help them make it through
In a world that's gone astray
Open my heart to see that it's up to me
Searchin' for the answers to these problems
I'm always facing things that are tryin' me
Testing all the things that I believe
Sometimes I feel so down and no one here's around
But you, you never left me lonely
And now I see, what a true friend means
And I trust that you would always be here for me
Lord, I give you all
Open my heart to see that this lies with me
Searchin' for the answers to these problems
I'm always facing things that are tryin' me
(I'm standing right here)
Testing all the things that I believe
Now I'm here before you
So tell me what to do
(Guess I will open my heart)
My heart to you, here I am
Searching for all the answers to my problems
Lord I'm facing things, can you help me?
You're trying all that I need the things I believe
Lord, no no no no
Here I am, here I am
I'm searching for, searching for it
Lord, I need, need, need, that's tryin' me
Testing all the things that I believe
No, no, here I am
Lacking all the understand the things I can't see
I am your child, ooh, oh, oh
That're tryin' me
Can you help me, I'm lacking understanding
I'm your child no matter what they say
I'm yours every day
