I never felt the wind so cold
Until I had to walk alone (without you girl)
I never knew what it was to be a man
Well let me show you baby
'Cause now I understand
I never thought it'd hurt so bad
You never know 'til you lose what you had
I don't need to waste time runnin' around all over town
Now I know where to find true lovin'
And I knew the first time that I ever seen you
Let's stay together girl it would be so nice
If we just hold on and stay together
Everything will be alright...(we'll be alright)
Tell me why it feels so strong (tell me baby, tell me baby)
The years roll by, but s'til this heart you own
I never felt a love so completely
Don't you know we're riding on destiny
And I knew the first time that I ever seen you
Ooh girl you got me
'Cause when I wake up
You're the first thing on my mind
Tomorrow will be
So let's leave the past behind
Just let me lead you
To our happy ever after
And girl when we arrive
What if I made some time to listen to you
What if you made some time to hear me too
What if we took the time to realize
Givin' some love is givin' compromise
What if I could show you that my love is true
Without all these changes we be going through
What if we learned to play it by the rules
What if we was cool...cool
Wasn't acting like fools...fools
What if we was cool...cool
Wouldn't that be cool
What if we tried something not tried before
What if we let love open up the door
What if we set some goals, but not too high
What if we both agreed to really try
What if we knew that we could disagree
But s'til made love the first priority
Show me love like you're suppose to do
Do you hear me baby
'Cause our love is fading
Can I get the message through to you
I'm someone to love
What if we had equality for all men
What if we forgot all our forefather sins
What if you forgot the color of my skin
What if you could wear the skin I'm in
What if we knew that we could disagree
But still make love the first priority
Show me love like you're suppose to do
People can yousee
'Cause our love is fading
Can I get a message through to you
Can we keep this thing cool
A lot of love we're needing
I'm ready and I'm willing
Don't you know that I s'til think of you
Feel me, take me in slowly
So you can understand how deep my love can go
Baby your river is flowing
So let me just fill you up till you just overflow
Just feel me, all over your body
I promise you'll thank me
If you do just what you're told
'Cause, you'll be whimpering gently
Shivering softly but you won't be
Sad or cold
You know what that is
That's just my way
Whenever I like to take my time
Whenever you can't believe the high
Whenever I got you open wide
That's just my way
Whenever you feel the best you had
Whatever your wish it's my command
When even your bad day ain't so bad
That's just my way
You know what that is (you know you know)
That's just my way (that's just my way)
Oh yeah completely I want you to know me
Till all of your fears and inhibitions are gone
Now walk towards me, ever so slowly
Now hike up that skirt and show me just where I belong
I won't stop till the break of dawn
That's what's really goin' on
You can't do much better
I'm down what you gonna do
Baby now it's up to you
Now I won't wait forever
It's not your situation
I just need contemplation
Over you
I'm not so systematic
It's just that I'm an addict for your love
I'm not the only one that holds you
I never ever should have told you
You're my only girl
I'm not the only one that holds you
I never ever should have told you
You're my only world
Georgy Porgy puddin' pie
Kissed the girls and made them cry
Georgy Porgy puddin' pie
Kissed the girls and made them cry
Georgy Porgy puddin' pie
Kissed the girls and made them cry
Kissed the girls and made them cry
Kissed the girls and made them cry
Just think how long I've known ya'
It's wrong for me to own ya'
Lock and key
It's really not confusion
I'm just the young illusion
Can't you see
I'm not the only one that holds you
I never ever should have told you
You're my only girl
I'm not the only one that holds you
I never ever should have told you
You're my only world
Georgy Porgy puddin' pie
Kissed the girls and made them cry
Georgy Porgy puddin' pie
Kissed the girls and made them cry
Georgy Porgy puddin' pie
Kissed the girls and made them cry
Kissed the girls and made them cry
Here in my mind
Replaying every line
Remembering all of the love we made
You told me only yesterday
Nothing could take your love away
Here in this room so many traces of you
So many nights lying by your side
Sleeping with secrets deep inside
Secrets your eyes could not deny
Come as you are
Lay with me
Beautiful lies once more tell me
With all the love in my heart
I'll set you free
Now that your eyes have said good-bye
I found joy so pure
My heart secure
With the love the two of us would share
And though it all seems so unfair
No one's to blame when love's not there
My whole life has changed
Feels like I'll surely go insane
'Cause my world revolved 'round
a love that never was
Before I say good-bye to love
Just hold me until the morning comes
Come as you are stay with me
Kiss me once more before you leave
With all the pain in my heart
I'll set you free
Now that your eyes have said good-bye
Well I know it's not easy
Finding words to let me know
But the pain of make believing
This world has up and gone crazy
I'm out here working trying to make it
Girl, it's so rough in this city
There ain't no resting for the weary
So baby feel me, I need something to feel
So my spirit can heal, babe
I need you to wrap them chocolate legs 'round me
So when I come home tonight, you'll make everything alright
When you gon' wrap them chocolate legs 'round me
The memory of my day will quickly just fade away
When you come wrap them chocolate legs 'round me
Please baby, wrap them chocolate legs 'round me
Your cocoa skin against mine, babe
Is all I need to help revive me
Just touch me and I feel pure, pure love
You're the only thing I'm ever sure of, your love I'm sure of
I need some reminding that God is still, He's still behind me
So baby, come take my soul and set me free
When you come wrap them chocolate legs 'round me
So when I come home tonight, you'll make everything alright
When you come wrap them chocolate legs 'round me
I need you to understand and make me glad I'm a man
Deep inside you that's where I need to be
Oh baby, just wrap them chocolate legs 'round me
Hold on, hold on
I only need you to wrap 'round me
Hold on, hold on
Don't let go, baby, don't let go
Don't you, don't you let go
I need some reminding that God is still, He's still behind me
So baby, just take my soul and set me free
I want you to know how much you mean to me
When you come wrap them chocolate legs 'round me
Oh, oh, tonight, I want you to make things right
Baby, come wrap them chocolate legs 'round me
Another Friday comin' round I think I know
what I need
a little time to escape from the pressures
of this week
I wanna see the city lights with someone

but she gotta be just right to compliment
my charms
I'm not tryin' to lock her down not tryin' to

cause she don't want to complicate her
life just like me
I might steal a kiss for her as we step
across the floor

Let's not pretend, I promise if we keep it real
Girl you will discover I'll give you pleasure like no other
It's very spiritual but also physical
Mere words can't tell, you'll have to feel it for yourself
(come on, come on)
Because it's here, right here my dear
Something that makes you smile again
Something that takes all night and then
I'm going to be the one that's still here, right here my dear
The physical's only part of it
Give me a chance to show you a deeper love
Give you something real
Chorus
Verse 2:
Let me make this clear, I've been doing this for years
Now I understand what a woman needs from her man
Spending money on my baby, take a trip downtown and daily
I'ma drive you like miss daisy, ain't no nigga that can fade me
Baby I'm here, right here my dear
You don't even have to say a word
Your body is calling and I heard
one else understands
Can we tell God and the whole world
You're my woman, and you're my man
Can't you just feel how much I love you
With one touch of my hand
Can I just spend my life with you
Can I just spend my life with you
Can I just spend my life with you
(forever here with you)
Can I just spend my life with you
Can I just see you every morning when i
Love once left me cold and gray
I had almost reached heaven
Just to feel it slip away
But life's too short to waste away
Being scared to take chances
Or so I've heard wise men say
I wanna be loved
Faithful and true
I wanna be loved
Ten million lifetimes with you
I wanna be loved
And after all I've been through
I'll let my heart take it's chances, just to be loved by you
Taste, touch, hear, see, feel me now girl
And you'll know I'm so ready
To exchange lifelong vows, yes I am
'Cause now you've shown me how God has smiled
On this chance and this moment
For this I've prayed all my life
I wanna be loved
Faithful and true
I wanna be loved
Ten million lifetimes with you girl
I wanna be loved
And after all I've been through
I'll let my heart take its chances, just to be loved by you
I wanna feel there's a reason for living again
I want us to fly far away
And I want my heart to sing the words only you can understand
So put your hand in mine, say a prayer tonight
So that we may find love
I wanna be loved
I want to be faithful and true
I wanna be loved
Ten million lifetimes with you baby
I wanna be loved
And after all I've been through
I'll let my heart take its chances, just to be loved by you
I want to be loved
Faithful and true
I want to be loved
Ten billion lifetimes, ten zillion, ten trillion lifetimes baby
And after all I've been through
I'll let my heart take a chance just to be loved by you
Can I tell you shall I count the ways
Can I find the words that could explain
How my heart, my life, my soul you changed forever
You ease my pain with such a gentle hand
And when I´m with you I´m a better man
And I'll never ever understand the way
That you sing to me without music or words
The Sweetest melody that I've ever heard
When I look into your eyes
I hear a song that never dies
Cause you sing to me
Theres so much evil in the world today
Everybodies tryna to make a way
Looking for a peace of love to make it better
But we can make it through and rise above
With your little serenade of love
And I know that we'll be strong enough to
Go on and oh on and oh on
Cause you sing to me without music or words
Sweetest melody that I ve ever heard
Sweet enough to make me cry
Cause it keeps our love alive
Sing to me sing
And even through the fire
I know our love will find a way
And your the reason why gurl
I'm singing stronger everyday
You sing to me without music or words
The sweetest melody that I've ever heard
Cause when I look in to your eyes
I hear a song that never dies
Sing to me oh... sing baby

The sweetest melody (ooh the sweetest

Sing to me (I love you so much babe)
Last night I dreamed my life was over and done
The angels threw me high above
They called it Heaven but I know it was a lie
For when I looked, you weren't inside
If I had only one more tomorrow
I'd spend that day with you
I'd feel no pain or sorrow there with you
Last night my dream revealed
the day could soon come
Without your kiss, your touch, your love
The first tears in Heaven ever cried would be mine
Until you were there right by my side
Baby, don't you know
If I had only one more tomorrow
I'd spend that day with you
I'd feel no pain or sorrow there with you
If I had only one more tomorrow
Imagine if you could, in your arms
I'd spend my final hours, yes I would
Sometimes life makes us feel so secure
Like our days will last forever
A time will come when I am here no more
Think of me and just remember
Always remember
If I had only one more tomorrow
I'd spend that day with you
I'd feel no pain or sorrow there with you
If I had only one more tomorrow
Imagine if you could, in your arms
I'd spend my final hours, yes I would
As long as you were there, there with you
No girl, I wouldn't be afraid, there with you
Hold my hand, there with you
I love you that much, babe
I love you that much, babe
Man Enough To Cry
I always loved, I always cared
But there was a part of me that wasn't always there
But then you loved enough to stay
And so I found the self I lost along the way
So no more words I'm holding back that I should say
And I won't hurt inside and tell you I'm okay
And every breath of love between us will be pure and true
'Cause now I'm man enough to cry
With you
The lights were off, the doors were closed
So how you found this love in me only heaven knows
Thnak God and you who brought me here
An open man found just in time for the living years
So no more words I'm holding back that I should say
And I won't hurt inside and tell you I'm okay
And every breath of love between us will be pure and true
'Cause now I'm man enough to cry
With you
Feels like waves of my love breaking through
Now I can lay down and share me with you
I won't hold out I know now this life only lasts a while
So I'll love leaving non to hide from you
So no more words I'm holding back that I should say
And I won't hurt inside and tell you I'm okay
And every breath of love between us will be pure and true
'Cause now I'm man enough to cry
So no more words I'm holding back that I should say
And I won't hurt inside and tell you I'm okay
And every breath of love between us will be pure and true
'Cause now I'm man enough to cry
It feels unbelievable wen my bodies wrapped around you
Forever could never be enough
But it's not thru physical wen my soul is tryin to reach you
The heart is the way to makin love
Now I've come to understand thru a life of deeper meaning
N wanting to love u even more
The touch is devine but deeper inside is where we should keep love alive
Love has answered my call but it's taken me
All of this time
I've been learnin the way to make love right
All my days and my nights
all my life I wanna spend it with u makin love
I wanna lay u down on the bed of our emotions
And grace u with tenderness and truth yeah yeah
I'll be inside of you with the strength of my devotion
N cherish each momment shared with you
One rythm of life body and mind
leavin this whole world behind
In the heat of it all
only deeper we'll fall
All of this time
I've been learnin the way to make love right
All my days and my nights
all my life I wanna spend it with u makin love
Love made every momment evry word we say
Love found in the pleasure and the pain for always
Days fall by the second and the years will fade
But I wont waste our time 'cause I'm givin u
All of my life I
Keep on learnin new ways to make love
right
And with all of my might
Day and night I
Baby what you searching for
I'm pretty sure that you just don't know 'cause
You're looking with your body, not your head
You're brilliant and beautiful
But they don't see when they take you home 'cause
You're just another notch that's in their bed
Ohhh, oh pretty baby
Ohhh, oh pretty baby
(Why you wanna go and do that baby)
I can feel your emptiness, I can see it behind those eyes
Just waiting for the one who understands
(Someone who understands)
Though I'm not like the rest
I'm invisible because you're blind
Jaded and blinded to a chance
(To take a chance with me)
Ohhh, oh pretty baby
Ohhh, oh pretty baby
(oh, you're so beautiful, why you want to go and do that baby)
Don't lie to yourself
Don't let them inseide while your heart keeps crying
Sfow love for yourself
Discover your light where you you'll find me
(In the light)
I believe in the power inside of my heart
God is the source from whom we're never apart
No challenge too great and no cause too small
This infinite love is inside of us all
[Verse 1:]
My buddy, Greg lost his leg serving time in the desert
Sitting drinking, thinking of things he couldn't do no more
Took a while for Greg to smile, but I heard he's doing better
He just won a marathon, second year in a row
Oh, there's a storm that you're gone have to ride in your life
Hope is the beacon that saves when you're lost in your life
Just hold on and you'll go with the tide
[Chorus:]
Love, patience, and time
And it won't take long, till it's gonna be alright
Love, patience, and time
That power is strong in your heart and mine
Oh, na, na, na, na, na, na
Oh, na, na, na, na, na, na
Oh, na, na, na, na, na, na
Oh, na, na, na, na, na, na
[Verse 2:]
I knew a girl, a pretty girl, but her daddy never loved her
She wondered why every guy left her out in the cold
What Daddy did she must forgive, before her heart grows colder
And all the love she's dreaming of, maybe then she will know
Yeah, we've got stories and people to blame for our lives
No, don't get lost in that circle
Don't you know that's a lie, the only way is to leave the past behind
[Chorus: x2]
Love, patience, and time
And it won't be long, and it's gonna be alright
Love, patience, and time
That power is strong in your heart and mine
[Bridge:]
There's so much more inside you and me
That the world needs to still believe
Nothing's too great for this God and me
Keep in mind love and life
Everything is gonna be alright
[Verse 3:]
Grab a gun, everyone, said the leader of many
We've got to kill to change the will of the other side
Some people swear that blood and fear will bring the world together
I believe that all we need love, patience, and time.
[Chorus:]
Love, patience, and time
And it won't take long, and it's gonna be alright
Love, patience, and time
That power is strong in your heart and mine
Heaven knows what you've been through
So much pain
Even though you can't see me
I'm not far away
We always say if one of us
Somehow went away
We'd light a candle and say a prayer
Know that love still remains
Close your eyes, go to sleep
Know my love is all around you
Dream in peace, when you wake
You will know I'm still with you
Live your life from this day on
And love again
I know you'd do the same for me
That's the way that loves is supposed to be
Close your eyes, go to sleep
Know my love is all around you
Dream in peace, when you wake
You will know I'm still with you
When you feel those lonely teardrops
Rolling down your face
Just know my love watches over you
Always, always
Close your eyes, go to sleep
Know my love is all around you
Dream in peace, when you wake
You will know I'm still with you
I been away too long awhile
I lost my rhythm, I forgot my style
Too complicated for this simple man
But now I understand
Like a circle peg in a square hole
I tried to push it but it wouldn't go
It didn't kill me so my strength increased
And now I finally see
chorus
I've found the love that was gone deep inside of me
I've found the man who was lost and I set him free
I thought that the pain was never gonna end
But now I can be myself again
I had the best the world could offer for sure
But piece of mind is much more precious than gold
I was in a place where truth is hard to find
But its all revealed in time
Stick out my chest and hold my head up high
Forgot how it felt to feel so good inside
A fool would gain the world just to lose himself
Now I wanna be true to no one else
I gotta light in my eyes for the world to see
And thank god the music's back inside me
It was a long hard road to be better man
And now I can be myself again
I feel the roll of the thunder in my bones
I hold my head up high everywhere that I go
The gift of life I truly understand
Cause I can be myself again
Bridge
Now there ain't no wound love can't heal for sure
Yes I know
And if you lose yourself, the lord can guide you home
This I know
I found a joy and serenity
Won't let nobody tell me something's wrong with me
Got a big love inside, ima set it free
And be myself again
Chorus
I've found the love that was gone deep inside of me
I've found the man who was lost and I set him free
I thought that the pain was never gonna end
But now I can be myself again
I feel the roll of the thunder in my bones
I hold my head up high everywhere that I go
The gift of life I truly understand
That I can be myself again
I, I, I said I can be myself again, yea
I know I can be myself again, yea
Oh baby,
Oh baby
I’m missing you baby, oh
Sleigh bells are ringing somewhere in the distance
And I wonder just where you are
This fire side used to burn and glisten yeah
But it feels so cold when you’re far, yes it does girl
I’m standing under the mistletoe
Remembering how you kissed me, oh baby
The gifts are under the tree but I know, I know
There’s nothing there that I need
Uh nothing baby
I’m making a wish on stars above
So I can be with the one I love
Cause it don’t feel like Christmas time without you
Snowflakes of hope are falling down,
And my heart beats but there’s no sound
Cause it don’t feel like Christmas time without you
I pray the angels watch over you, yeah, yes baby
Until you’re back in my arms, uh, come on home
Say, I don’t need no miracles, no, no
I just need you baby
And to be wherever you are, oh yeah
We got forever to celebrate,
And fill our live with good cheer, yes we do baby
I talked with Santa Clause cause I just can’t wait
I’d do anything, I’d go anywhere,
To have you near, yeah,
I’m making a wish on stars above
So I can be with the one I love
Cause it don’t feel like Christmas time without you
No it don’t feel like Christmas
Snowflakes of hope are falling down,
And my heart beats but there’s no sound
Cause it don’t feel like Christmas time without you
It don’t, it don’t, it don’t
I’m reaching out across this winter wonderland
Knowing you’re reaching for me, yeah, yeah
Those Christmas lights will shine twice as brightly
Even though we’re not together tonight, it’s alright!
I’m making a wish on stars above
So I can be with the one I love
Cause it don’t feel like Christmas time without you
No it don’t feel like Christmas
Snowflakes of hope are falling down,
And my heart beats but there’s no sound
Cause it don’t feel like Christmas time without you
(Eric)
I never knew such a day could come
And I never knew such a love
Could be inside of one
And I never knew what my life was for
But now that you're here I know for sure
(Tamia)
I never knew till I looked in your eyes
I was incomplete till the day you walked into my life
And I never knew that my heart could feel
So precious and pure
One love so real
(Eric and Tamia)
Can I just see you every morning when
I open my eyes
Can I just feel your heart beating beside me
Every night
Can we just feel this way together
Till the end of all time
Can I just spend my life with you
(Eric)
Now baby the days and the weeks
And the years will roll by
But nothing will change the love inside
Of you and I
(Tamia)
And baby I'll never find any words
That could explain
Just how much my heart my life
My soul you've changed
Can you run to these open arms
When no one else understands
Can we tell God and the whole world
I'm your woman, and you're my man
Can't you just feel how much I love you
With one touch of my hand
Can I just spend my life with you
(Eric)
No touch has ever felt so wonderful
(You are incredible)
(Tamia)
And a deeper love I've never known
(I'll never let you go)
I swear this love is true
(Now and forever to you to you)
(Eric and Tamia)
Can I just see you every morning when
I open my eyes
Can I just feel your heart beating beside me
Every night
Can we just feel this way together
Till the end of all time
Can I just spend my life with you
Can you run to these open arms
When no one else understands
Can we tell God and the whole world
You're my woman, and you're my man
Can't you just feel how much I love you
With one touch of my hand
Can I just spend my life with you
Can I just spend my life with you
Can I just spend my life with you
(Forever here with you)
(Eric)
Can I just spend my life with you
(Tamia)
Can I just see you every morning when I
I don't want to live this way no more
I don't want to fight this endless lonely war
I don't want to stand alone, without the only love I've known
And never find that ray of light we had before
I never meant to break your precious heart
And what I did can't be undone and it's tearing me apart
Far too late for promises, but if you gave us one more chance
You would see a better man worth fighting for
Love sweet love I feel your power
Hear my prayer, we're in your hands now
Take these hearts so lost and broken
Bring us home again
If this prayer for love is never heard
Oh, and if you have to walk away for these are only words
Baby I will understand but I will always be that man
Waiting here for you with love and open arms
Love sweet love I feel your power
Hear my prayer, we're in your hands now
Take these hearts so lost and broken
Bring us home again
Remember all the times we had, the dreams that we once shared
I swear I'll bring them back to you again
Again
Love sweet love I feel your power
Hear my prayer, we're in your hands now
Take these hearts so lost and broken
The first time I fell in love was long ago.
I didn't know how to give my love at all.
The next time I settled for what felt so close.
But without romance, you're never gonna fall.
After everything I've learned;
Now it's finally my turn.
This is the last time I'll fall... in love.
The first time we walked under that starry sky,
there was a moment when everything was clear.
I didn't need to ask or even wonder why, because each question is answered when your near.
and I'm wise enough to know when a miracle unfolds, this is the last time i'll fall in love.
Now don't hold back, just let me know.
Could I be moving much too fast or way too slow.
'Cause all of my life, I've waited for this day.
To find that once in a lifetime, this is it, I'll never be the same.
You'll never know what it's taken me to say these words.
And now that I've said them, they could never be enough.
As far as I can see, there's only you and only me.
This is the last time I'll fall in love.
Last time i'll fall in love.
Standing here in disarray
A calm serenity
The winds of change can devastate
And it took this much for me
With nowhere to run and no reason left to hide
Gonna hold on
All the walls around are broken down
Now I can hear the rising sun
Surrounded by everything I want
But nothing that I need
I was blinded by the absurdity
Losing all identity
Sometimes what you fear the most is what you need
To find that road
Right around that curve a lesson learned
Now that I have the eyes to see
A hurricane, a hurricane, yeah
Is sometimes the only way to wash away the pain
A hurricane, a hurricane, yeah
Is sometimes the only thing that brings you back again
With poison toys I'd isolate
But the wind was strong and true
But now I see where the treasure is
'Cause they only blocked my view
I'm spiraling down but so oblivious
Got to find my way home
There's a heart that bleeds trapped in me
But how do I break this shell of stone
A hurricane, a hurricane, yeah
Is sometimes the only way to wash away the pain
A hurricane, a hurricane
Is sometimes the only thing that brings you back again, yeah
Sometimes I cried but tears wouldn't fall
And sometimes I tried to break those walls
And feel your love
But I came alive inside when I finally found my way, hey, yeah
A hurricane, a hurricane
Is sometimes the only way to wash away the pain, yeah
A hurricane, a hurricane
Sometimes the only thing that brings you back again
A hurricane, a hurricane
Is sometimes the only way to wash away the pain, yeah
A hurricane
Break the chain
Tracy is a good girl
Sweet 16
Her daddy's in her bedroom
Makes her feel unclean
She's slave to a secret
That her dad and she keep together
Nathan is a genius
Or at least he was
Nat traded future for a glass-pipe-buzz
Nat lives on the streets now
For $20 bills he'll do whatever
Don't stop breaking the chains
Don't stop breakin' away
Don't be afraid of breaking the chains
It's up to no one else
You've got to free yourself
Rosie is a waitress at the airport lounge
She gave up on her dreams
Her self esteem's broke down
Now she stares out the window
Watching people fly around forever
Make a change don't you be afraid, go on
Free your mind from the fear inside
And you won't be chained anymore
Look here I'm a black man
And they say I'm free
Seems like somebody s'til got chains on me
Well we got brothers killing brothers
Leaving young mothers to raise a family
Sing to me...
She was a poetry girl I adored
Late at night I'd hear songs from her window
Myrrh and frankincense seeped through her door
And they lingered on
As her fingers caressed her guitar
Felt like the strings of my heart she was strumming
With her words we made love from afar
As she sang her song
They were songs of change, joy and pain
All the love she made
Like she took the words from
Every dream I've known, every love outgrown
Singing on and on, like she took the words from my heart
And to the poetry girl down the hall
Late at night I would answer her calling
Like the lyrics from one of her songs
She made love to me
Now our bodies and souls intertwined
On the wings of passion we were soaring
Then by the flickering candle at night
She would sing to me
Love is often unkind when we fall
For now my poetess sings to another
But when I think of those nights down the hall
From somewhere deep inside
I sing songs of change, joy and pain
All the love I've made, I take the words from
Every dream I've known, every love outgrown
I just wanna do something real to you
Like a real brother is suppose to do
Tell me how you feel baby
I'll give you something real baby
I just wanna do something real to you
Like a real brother is suppose to do
Tell me how you feel baby
I'll give you something real baby
Let's not pretend, I promise if we keep it real
Girl you will discover, I'll give you pleasure like no other
It's very spiritual but oh so physical
Mere words can't tell, you'll have to feel it for yourself
Because it's here right here my dear
Something that makes you smile again
Something that takes all night and then
I'm going to be the one that's still
Here right here my dear
The physical's only part of it
Give me a chance to show you a deeper love
Give you something real
Let me make this clear
I've been doing this for years
Now I understand
What a woman needs from her man
Spending money on my baby
Take a trip downtown and daily
I'm a drive you like Ms. Daisy
Ain't no n---- that can fade me
And baby I'm here, right here my dear
You don't even have to say a word
Your body calling and I heard
I just want to make sure
Baby I'm clearI'm clear
We'll take it slow so you can feel
Every bit of all I that I got to give
And it's all for real
Let me come inside, stay with me tonight
I'll take you places only we two can find
I just want to give something you can feel
Because I know there's no one better
Time
I still don't know the reason that for all this time
I'm all alone but see it comes as no surprise
it seems like I go left each time that love goes right
every time
By chance, something happens every time I get a chance
I feel the rhythm but I just don't know the dance
I want to move with you but something holds me back
I'm holding back, yeah
All I ever needed I could never find
all I ever wanted was to get it right
Somebody tell me what is wrong with me
I wasn't sure but I know now I believe
That it must be, love don't love me, love don't love me
Oh why,
I know exactly what is missing in my life,
Something for sure and something pure maybe a wife
but then I'm out the door before the morning light
Every night
So I pray
I'm so afraid I'm always gonna be this way
Relationships only to pass the time away
Fear of commitment is a habit hard to break
I must say, yeah
All I ever needed I could never find
all I ever wanted was to get it right
Somebody tell me what is wrong with me
I wasn't sure but I know now I believe
That it must be, love don't love me, love don't love me
All I ever wanted was some happiness,
take it to a level that's above the rest
I wanna know how it's supposed to be
I wanna feel something real but
I believe that it must be love don't love me, love don't love me
Someone teach my heart to fall in love again
That all I have to fear is fear itself
I know that I was born to love one woman
but why must I keep running through the rest? Oh---- Yeah
All I ever needed I could never find
all I ever wanted was to get it right
Somebody tell me what is wrong with me
I wasn't sure but I know now I believe
That it must be, love don't love me, love don't love me
no it don't love me
All I ever wanted was some happiness,
take it to a level that's above the rest
I wanna know how it's supposed to be
I wanna feel something real but
Ooh girl, lover friend
From the day we first began
Felt a connection to you
Somehow can't explain
No one's made me feel the same way
You do
Your heart and mine are one
Somethin' deep is goin' on
It's like we've been here before
Seems like God above
Had a reason to bring your love
To me
I love what I'm feelin' (a spiritual thang)
You're giving to me, yeah (a spiritual thang)
I know it's for real (a spiritual thang)
This spiritual love you bring (a spiritual thang)
Love won't fade away
When it's a spiritual thang
It's like we're one in the same
Girl, we got a love that the whole
World's been searching for
You and me, don't you know that
Your heart is in beat with mine
And no stronger love will I find
Together our souls intertwined
Girl it's true
I can't deny
I've been around a couple of times
So you're afraid
This love in me
Tomorrow we'll no longer be
My heart beats stronger
At the end of each day
Can you feel the rhythm between the two of us
I'd be a fool to turn away
Baby all I'm trying to say is
You're so much more than just a girlfriend
You're more than just a temporary love of mine
You're so much more than just a girlfriend
So I'll ask you forever be mine
'Cause when I'm making love to you
I can tell it's not pretend
Many things to me are you
Not just another lady friend
See every brother has a place in his heart
Only one lady can find her way to it
Only one girl
To see your smile is all I need
To know that you're my destiny
So I'll stay for always 'til the end of time
Much more than loves before
Don't wanna let you go
Right here is where I'll stay
Ooh what you do to me (yeah yeah)
Quietly your silhouette approaches me
A vision far too lovely to define (hey yeah)
Tenderly you take complete control of me
The feminine seduction of body, soul and mind (yeah)
Touch me and I feel your femininity
Girl you're the lady women want to be
Softly you move when you're making love to me
Love me every night with femininity
A child of innocence is how you look at me
But it's the woman's touch that makes it feel so right (so right)
Your lips consume my deepest sensitivity
It feels so good it makes me wanna cry (makes me cry)
Oh, oh, oh
Femininity
Oh, Femininity
Let me feel myself inside you once again
I love the way you say it's just for me
A lady in the purest sense of elegance
But when the lights go down girl you're making love, strong, wild and free
I like the way you take control of me
You have a little certain quality
Not many girls would ever dare to be
If you want me to stay
I'll be around today
Available for you to see
Well I'm about to go
And then you'll know
For me to stay here
I've got to be me
You'll never be down
That's what it's all about
Can't take me for granted smile
Count my days I'm gone
Together me and you by phone
I promised I'll be gone for a while
When you see me again
I hope that you have been
The kind of person
That you really are now
Got to get them straight
How could I ever be late
To the only woman taking up my time
How could I ever allow
I guess I wondered how
I could forget about a pocket of fun
When you know
That you'll never ever do
Number one's gonna be number one
I'll be good
I wish I could
Get the message over to you now
When you see me again
I hope that you have been
The kind of person
When I'm far away
Could I ever be untrue?
Naw baby
Could I fade away
Find somebody new?
Naw baby
Though this road gets long and weary
I'm always coming home to you
I'll be there for you
Oh baby I'll be waiting around for you
I'll be there for you oh baby I
I'll be there for you
Could a summer breeze
Compare when you're in view?
Naw baby
Could anything or anybody
Thrill me like you do
Naw baby
So you'll never have to wonder
I commit my love to you
Listen to me, though this road gets long and weary
I heard some news from a friend of mine
Strugglin' with the woes of life
Just broken down as the rain kept steady pourin'
We questioned and we philsophized
But the only truth that we surmised
Is rain will fall so the rose will keep on growing
Sometimes it's hard to understand
How fate can deal with such a heavy hand
But in the end
You're gonna find that strength that lies within
And in the end
All you need is the comfort of a friend
And in the end
You won't break 'cause you're learning how to bend
And the hand of God will guide you always
In the end
Now I know a woman so abused
By the hands and words her husband used
Till the day would come when she could take no more
With two little girls she was left to feed
She taught them strength and self-esteem
Now she's an inspiration to everyone she meets
I know that life has a funny way of bringing out the best by bringing on the pain
But in the end
A little love's gonna bring you back again
And in the end
Every answer's written on the wind
And in the end
Looking back you can finally understand
He was always there beside you
You'll see
'Cause I know the fight when you struggle every morning
Just to face that world one more day
And you're holding on to life while a northern wind is blowing
Just believe your help is on the way
Oh in the end
You're gonna find that strength that lies within
And in the end
You're gonna get there no matter where you've been
'Cause in the end, well
The one truth is love will always win
And the hand of God will guide you
Just believe and let Him in
'Cause in the end, well
A little love's gonna bring you back again
And in the end, well
Eevry answer's written on the wind
And in the end
Just look back and I swear you'll understand
He was always there beside you
Maybe we need just a little more time
Time that can heal what's been on your mind
You can find what we lost before it all slips away
We need time to mend from the mistakes I've made
God only knows what a heart can survive
So many tears from all the pain in our lives
And where else could we go after all we've been through
I still believe my life is right here with you
So just hold on
And it'll wont take long
I hope that you can love me
When the pain is gone
I don't want us to fall through the cracks of a broken heart
Don't want us to fall through the cracks of your broken heart
I know its taking a while but every lesson, i've learned
And if your heart speaks tonight, I'll hear every word
If you want to be free I'll never stand in your way
But with all that I am, I'm asking you to stay
Hold on
And it'll wont take long
I hope that you can love me
When the pain is gone
I don't want us to fall through the cracks of a broken heart
Don't want us to fall through the cracks of your broken heart
There's a light that can burn
It exists in the heart
You can feel it when you know love is true
If you could try to be strong
And keep the light burning long
It took a lifetime but i found it in you
Hold on
And it'll wont take long
I hope that you can love me
When the pain is gone
I don't want us to fall through the cracks of a broken heart
We could write the story of how we fell apart
But your truth and mine ain't the same
So I'll write the words into my heart
Fot the chapter that bears your name
How could people go from a feeling that words can't describe
To a place of not even caring if I'm even alive
The love that we shared, did it fade into nothing
Where does the love go
After all the dreams that we had did it vanish completely
Where does the love go
Where does the love go
They say that love is a timeless energy, it never dies it just changes form
But it when it changed from the shape of you and me it took the shape of a raging storm
I'm not asking for second chances
I just want you to see
Until you take a look at yourself girl
You could never be free
The love that we shared, did it fade into nothing
Where does the love go
After all the dreams that we had did it vanish completely
Where does the love go?
The love that we shared, did it fade into nothing
Where does the love go
After all the dreams that we had did it vanish completely
Where does love go?
When it dissipates does it turn to hate
If you see me on the street, would you talk to me
For the sake of love, ain't worth it babe?
How could people go from a feeling that words can't describe
To a place of not even caring if I'm even alive
The love that we shared, did it fade into nothing
Where does the love go
After all the dreams that we had did it vanish completely
Where does the love go
The love that we shared, does it fade into nothing
Where does the love go
After all the dreams that we had does it vanish completely
Where does love go
The love that we shared
Where does the love go
I'm going back to the day we parted
And all the ways you were broken hearted
Take a trip everyday in my mind
I see your face I recall it few word
Its playing back like a broken record
I remember every tear in your eye
(if I do what I know)
I’d walk back in time
(I will write every wrong)
Oohh.. I would change every line
(and you’ll be here right now)
Just like yesterday
(But you'd feel no more doubts)
When you hear me say
Chorus:
You’re the only one I want (you’re the only one ..yeah)
You’re the only one I need in my life (in my life, baby)
You’re the only one I love (I love, love, love)
You’re the only one I need in my life
I see the world through a haze of mem’ries
And then the girls don’t mean a damn thing to me
It’s kinda sad how they just don’t compare
(Time will tell, let’s wait and see)
(if our love we had was meant to be)
Coz I know we got a future out there
(coz you’re still my girl)
I don’t care what they say
(let’s go back to our world)
Baby don’t you throw this love away
(coz I still believe)
In the magic of us
(this is the matter of time)
And it’s a matter of trust
Repeat chorus
Now girl it took sometime to get real with myself
Now love ain't easy sometimes
But if you find it we’ll stay together
Hey hey
La la la
He, friend for all my life
I would not deny
Like brothers in my mind. She, treasure of his heart
There upon his arm
Eyes of midnight stars
I've been tempted by forbidden love before
But why must she be everythin
That I've been praying for
Now this burning in my heart will I ignore
When I know that she'll be knocking at my door
Why you messing with my feelings
Why you follow me
I can read the signs you're giving
Why you follow me
Turn away from your desire
Why you follow me
Don't be playing with this fire
Why you follow me
Now she's dancing in the night
Her body is the moonlight
Too much for me to fight
Now I'm lost within her arms
Careless with my heart
I'm weakened by her charms
He has looked me in my eyes a million times
But now I turn away for I'm afraid
Of what he'll find
She's the precious love
for whom his heart beats for
Through this veil of tears
I can see what was suppose to be
Now it's all so clear
Love from you was so real, so true, genuine
Stronger than time
Wipe your tears away
Kiss you every morning
Hear every word you had to say
Are all the things I should have done
While you were here
And now the foolish boy has grown
Into this man I'm sorry you've never known
I'm not afraid to love
'Cause every beat of my heart
Echoes all those memories from way back when
And the man I should have been
Faded dreams of you and me
And of our little family
Gone forever
My God in heaven
Before the gift of clarity
We pay the price of misery
Why please tell me why
Her mommy's gone away
But in her eyes I see you more each day
How can I repay
All your love unreturned
From so long, long ago
Now I know
I'll wipe her tears away
Kiss her every morning
Hear every word she has to say
Do all the things that you
Would do if you were here
Brighten her rainy day
Catch her when she's fallen
Say I love you each and every day
Do all the things that you
Hello baby how ya' been,
nice to see your face again
Strange to see you coming 'round,
when you're the one who put me down
We were such a happy pair,
but then another man was there
So forgive me I don't understand,
just what you want from me
As you can see my life's been good
I moved the family out the neighborhood
And all my dreams I've realized,
to think you said it was a waste of time
It's never hard to make new friends,
when you're making Benjamins
Now did I hear you say again. . .
You're still thinking of me?
Do you feel like dying, do you break down crying
Do you fall down on your knees
Don't want to go on living, does your world start spinning
When you think of me
All I had was love to bring
But you was on some ol' material thing
Looks like you're still trying to drive them mad
But it's not easy when your credit's bad
I didn't know that I could feel so blue
It took some time but girl I'm over you
Would've gladly gave my life for you
You should have thought the whole thing through
All those nights with your girlfriends
Was just a front for you and him
Y'all was s'posed to leave for Honolulu
Leaving yo' ass was 'bout the best he could do
Dry your tears now baby it's O.K.
I'll introduce you to my fiancee
Now tell me baby say again. . .
You been thinking of me?
Do you think of me in waves that pull you under
From my memory is there nowhere you can hide
Do you close your eyes, see my face and wonder
Oooh ......yeah yeah, ....... baby
Now ever since the day I saw you
There was one thing that I knew for sure
That was you was gonna be my lady
When I didn't know, yeah yeah
Now you was on the arm of someone
Annoyingly it wasn't me
I knew I'd have to pick my battles
To gain my victory, oooh yeah
That's why I, I've waited for so long
I've waited waited girl, just hoping you would see
Oooh that one something you searched for
That something was me
That something you searched for was me
It's funny how I came to love you
Before I even knew your name
Yeah, it's funny how that dude neglects you
While I got this flame, ooh this burning flame
Now can't nobody see the future
I sure can't see my future without you
There's so much love I just can't wait to show you
I'm just waiting on you, ooh waiting baby
I've waited for so long, I waited waited, kept praying to see
That one someone you search for, was someone like me
Oh let it be me, girl
I've waited for so long I've waited, waited girl
Just hoping you'd see
That one something you'd searched for
That something was me
Oooh, I've been waiting
I got a house that's straight outta the magazine
Only thing that's missing for me the queen
I got a pile of records you make em spin
So just pack your shit girl, and move on in
I've waited for so long, I've waited, waited baby
Kept praying you'd see, you got me praying girl
That someone you searched for, was someone like me
Everybody wants to rise above
Without a touch of dignity
Without a stroke of love
Take a little time and check yourself
To live the life you're praying for
Just be true to yourself
Everybody wants to be your friend
If you got a dime to lend
You never really matter in the end to them
That's why
I'm true to myself ya'll
I'm true to my family
And love with a true integrity
I'm true to myself ya'll
True to my God above
And love with a true integrity
Everybody wants a piece of you and me
To be the victim of their greed
Or co-dependency
It's so very hard to know
Which way to go
A lie can be the gospel truth
If eloquently told
Everybody wants to make amends
If they can see another win
You never really matter in the end to them
That's why
Some people live their whole life
And they'll never see
The only way to find true happiness
Is to thine own self be
True to yourself y'all
Got to live your life for you, yeah
All you gotta do, well
Is be true to yourself, well
I'm true to myself, y'all
I'm true to my little baby girl
To feel good
We were switching,
We were switching up some time, babe.
Hey, oh!
Hey, I got a stupid hot girl,
Hey oh, oh!
It's feeling like it's been too long since we had a good time,
We've been talking about what's wrong,
Stir up what's been going right,
Every day the same all same,
Girl we need to stir it up!
Yeah!
I think it's time we had a change,
A little switch in luck.
And maybe we could find a spot or two for me and you!
Just you and me!
There ain't no problems on the dancing floor,
So let's hit the door!
That's all we need!
Girl you know I love to see you smile,
It drives me wild!
I know what you like, boy!
Life is only for the living,
So let's live it tonight!
[Chorus:]
Start stirring it up,
And you can take another look at me,
Start mixing it up,
A little change in the scenery!
Mix it up, girl!
Start stirring it up,
Cause we've been living in the days too long!
Start stir it up as the night comes!
I think I know what's on down town,
We've never been before.
And when it starts to winding down,
Hit it after set it for!
And maybe we could take a carriage ride
Underneath the city lights,
And girl we've been doing some in Rome,
Let's find a way and do it all right!
I propose a toast or two, for me and you!
It should glide us both.
For always making a little time for fun,
In the years that come.
Keep it... yeah!
Girl, we've got to switch it up some time,
To make it right,
If I'm gonna be the only one for the rest of your life.
Yeah!
[Chorus:]
Start stirring it up,
And you can take another look at me,
Stir it up, baby!
Start mixing it up,
A little change in the scenery!
Mix it up, girl!
Start stirring it up,
Cause we've been living in the days too long!
Start stirring it up as the night goes on!
Start stirring it up,
So we could see what's going down!
See what's going down!
Start living it up,
A little bit and take a look around!
Start shaking it up
And maybe we could find a spot or two!
Shake it, baby!
Start stirring it for the night is true!
When you get close to me,
I feel like picking a night of love!
When you get close to me,
Stir it up, baby!
[Chorus:]
Start stirring it up,
And you can take another look at me,
At me!
Start mixing it up,
A little change in the scenery!
Scenery!
Start stirring it up,
Cause we've been living in the days too long!
Too long!
Start stirring it up as the night goes on!
So we could see what's going down!
See what's going down!
Start living it up,
A little bit and take a look around!
Start shaking it up
And maybe we could find a spot or two!
Shake it, baby!
Start stirring it up fort the night is true!
When you get close to me,
I feel like picking a night of love!
When you get close to me,
I never knew such a day could come
And I never knew such a love
Could be inside of one
And I never knew what my life was for
But now that you're here I know for sure
I never knew till I looked in your eyes
I was incomplete till the day you walked into my life
And I never knew that my heart could feel
So precious and pure
One love so real
Can I just see you every morning when
I open my eyes
Can I just feel your heart beating beside me
Every night
Can we just feel this way together
Till the end of all time
Can I just spend my life with you
Now baby the days and the weeks
And the years will roll by
But nothing will change the love inside
Of you and I
And baby I'll never find any words
That could explain
Just how much my heart my life
My soul you've changed
Can you run to these open arms
When no one else understands
Can we tell God and the whole world
I'm your woman, and you're my man
Can't you just feel how much I love you
With one touch of my hand
Can I just spend my life with you
No touch has ever felt so wonderful
(You are incredible)
And a deeper love I've never known
(I'll never let you go)
I swear this love is true
(Now and forever to youto you)
Can I just see you every morning when
I open my eyes
Can I just feel your heart beating beside me
Every night
Can we just feel this way together
Till the end of all time
Can I just spend my life with you
Can you run to these open arms
When no one else understands
Can we tell God and the whole world
You're my woman, and you're my man
Can't you just feel how much I love you
With one touch of my hand
Can I just spend my life with you
Can I just spend my life with you
Can I just spend my life with you
(Forever here with you)
Can I just spend my life with you
Can I just see you every morning when I
I know just what you need
I feel what you've been going through
I've got the remedy
Use me like Spanish Fly
Oh oh, don't it feel good? Don't it feel good?
Mamacita, mamacita
Let me please you, I wanna please you
He let your love go
You're the victim of a crime
Your heart broken treacherously
Your river just froze and now this happens
Every time you're faced with some intimacy
No one's been able to stable this painful phase
It's like you just can't reach that high
Would you mind it if I try?
Just lay back and close your eyes
Guaranteed you'll feel the fire again
I know just what you need
I feel what you've been going through
I've got the remedy
Use me like Spanish Fly
Don't be afraid, no, I promise you if you let it flow
Your face will be stuck with a smile
Let's take off our clothes, then let's take it nice and slow
Let's just stare at each other a while
No one can figure your trigger, that's what you say
How about you give me a try?
Like an aphrodisiac, I can bring the fire back
'Cause I know exactly what to prescribe
I know just what you need
I feel what you've been going through
I've got the remedy
Use me like Spanish Fly
I know just what you need
I feel what you've been going through
I've got the remedy
Use me like Spanish Fly
It's been so long, there's a fire trapped inside you
All I want is to be there when it burns you
Baby, let me squeeze you, wanna hold you, wanna please you
Let me feel you, 'cause I need to
Lay you on the table, let me lick you
From your navel to your flower, for hours
Baby, don't you see that
There's nothing wrong with getting freaky
When you need to, to release you
Baby, I'm on fire, we gonna take it a little higher
Till it's time to come inside you
I know just what you need
I feel what you've been going through
I've got the remedy
Use me like Spanish Fly
I know just what you need
I feel what you've been going through
I've got the remedy
Use me like Spanish Fly
Oh, everybody needs, everybody needs
To feel somebody sometime
Hoo ah hoo yea
Two years since you walked away from me
Since all of our scattered dreams, huh
Were just thrown away
I’m finally gettin’ back to what I used to be
Shared my pain with my family
Think I’m on my way
I can sleep at night, I don’t reach for you when I wake up, no
But it’s taken some time, yeah
I can live my life without praying that we could make up
I’m movin’ on, I’m feeling strong inside but
Chorus 1:
Sometimes I cry babe
When I’m all alone with this heart of mine, ooh
Sometimes I cry baby
Although you’ve been gone for a long, long time, oooooh yeah yeah
I heard you’re movin’ in with someone new
I hope all your dreams come true
And you’ll both be happy, yeah
Been long enough for me to take a look around
I met a girl, we been hanging out, she’s been good for me
But when we making love, she don’t take me there like you used to
And it hurts when I lie, when I lie baby
Help me understand how to push you out, forget you
And let you go ‘cause Lord knows I’ve tried yeah
Chorus 2:
Sometimes I cry baby
Baby I’ve been hurtin’ for a long, long time. Yes I have babe
Sometimes I cry ba-a-a-by
Aint nothing working for this pain of mine, hoo ooh hoo
I’ll just have to fake it
Until I can make it
There’s a smile on my face, yeah, but I’m broken insi-i-i-i-i-de, yeah
Chorus 3:
Sometimes I cry
When I’m all alone , when I’m all alone with this heart of mine, yeah
Sometimes I cry baby, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Although you’ve been gone for a long long, a long long
Long, long, long, long, long, long, long, yeah, baby, baby, baby
I can’t take it no more
I can’t take it no no no
No come back to me
Baby, baby please , oh baby
Running used to be the way I passed my time
All over town and just to see what I could find
Every now and then I'd find some company
But every kiss temporary
I tried to tell myself that it was just a game
I'd run again to try and ease that, lonely pain
No matter where I travelled there I'd be
Stuck in those walls of skin called me
And I was just running to find something true
And I'd just be running with nothing to prove
And I kept on running and had nothing to show
Love saw me running and said there he goes
Yeah, you caught my eye one day while I was on a run
Somehow you made me feel my life, had just begun
I'd seen the last of all my roaming days
'Cause I knew from you I'd never run away
Now you've got me running, to get home to you
And my heart keeps running, when I think of things you do
And I won't be running, to no one no more
And I'll see me running and say that's love for sure
I'm not hesitating, as soon as work is done
As fast as my legs can carry me
Mmmmh yeah, life ain't complicated
Oh, no you got only one heart, one joy, one place to be
Now I'm watching people running all around
Chasing after things that'll just, run them down
Life is so much better if they change their ways
I wish I could tell them, but you know I can't stay
'Cause I gotta get running, and get home to you
And my heart keeps running, and I think of things you do
And I won't be running to no one else, no one, no more
Love seen me running and say that's love for sure
And I just keep running, to get home to you
And my heart keeps running ,when I think of things you do
And I won't be running to no one no more
Love see me running and say that's love for sure
Love see me running and say that's love for sure
Running used to be the way I passed my time
All over town and just to see what I could find
Every now and then I'd find some company
But every kiss temporary
I tried to tell myself that it was just a game
I'd run again to try and ease that, lonely pain
No matter where I travelled there I'd be
Stuck in those walls of skin called me
And I was just running to find something true
And I'd just be running with nothing to prove

Don't you know you got the real, real love
Precious, a word that comes to mind
When the morning come and you're asleep by my side
Cherish, a word that could describe
How our love has stood the minute test of time, analyze
There's a whirlwind
Of changes this life may bring
But the real thing just holds off could what may
And we got something real baby
Real love, real love
In a world full of make believe
We got something real girl
Real love, real love, I bet everything on you and me
I love you, not just for who you are
But for the way you made a better man out of me

Still we keep on getting better, better all the time
'Cause we got something real babe

Just standing strong for the whole word to see
Don't ever question what my heart needs tomorrow

Kind of love that knows that joy brings some sorrow
But we can't go wrong if we just hold on
Ain't nothing's stronger
Real love, real love
In a world full of make believe
We got something real babe
Real love, real love, I bet everything, everything on you and me
Don't you know we got a real
Don't you know we got a real love for sure
Don't you know we got a real
You tell me, that love it ain't going your way
'Cause you've been searching but good ones are hard to find
Said you won't settle, for less than your heart is asking
And life's too precious, just to be wasting time
Disappointment is something that's so familiar
You get them hopes up high, to watch 'em fall again
So you stop trying, to find your one in a million, yeah
And the language of your love can't nobody comprehend
Well listen to this, see I got news for you, 'cause you don't know how I do
I find ways to make you smile, they never know about
Reaching corners of your mind, that no one's trying to find,
Think your time for love is through, I got news for you
Ooh I got news for you, yeah baby
Your body's glistening, all over with satisfaction, yeah
I've shown you pleasures girl, you thought you'd never feel
Said you were flying, like the world was far below us
You said there's no way that, I could take you higher still
Well listen to this, 'cause I've got news for you
I still got work to do, and you're thinking that I'm done
That's when I've just begun, touching corners of your mind
That no one's tried to find, and you think my love is through
Girl, I've got news for you
Ooh I've got news for you, I got news for you
Ooh I've got news for you, yeah babe
Don't you worry 'bout me leaving, girl
Ain't trying to be decieving, you said I'm too good to be true
Baby I got news for you, girl
Don't you worry I'll be leaving, ain't trying to be decieving
You said I'm too good to be true, well I got news for you
I've got news for you, 'cause you don't know how I feel
There are ways to make you smile, that you never knew about
Touching corners of your mind, no one's tried to find
When your time on earth is through, I've got news for you
I got news for you, 'cause you don't know how I do
I'm known to have a heart that love couldn't find I use to come and go no thought of what I left behind but now some how I've grown to see the world through brand new eyes a better world that you've shown to me yes When you were gone felt like the stars were pointless to shine and my my days dragged on with out a cause or reason to find baby but on my own i'm just a lonely waste of time that should be spent with you faithfully
So I never want to live with out you baby (No baby) never gonna live with out you no I never want to live with out you (Can't live with out you) never want to live cause your the biggest part of my life never gonna live with out you (Build my world around you) never make it through with out you all the love you bring to mee

So I never want to live with out you baby (I'll never live without you babe) never gonna live to doubt you (never gonna live to doubt your love)no I never want to live with out you babyoh no) never want to live without the biggest part of my life going through my world without you babe (wanna build my world) never make it through with out you (No baby) all the love you bring to mee yeah baby
When I'm all alone, I hear your voice, still with me
I can find my way you are with me the one that helps me see
When the air is thin, I'm caving in, it's hard to breathe
I just let you in, so I can find that inner peace
In my darkest hour I run to you to ease my pain
Like laughter that keeps me from going insane
You fortify, lift me up, so I'm feeling strong again
You're the reason why I'm still alive
You're just like music in my life, oh
You take that home and make it right
You've saved my world so many times
You're just like music in my life
You're the perfect song, the perfect time, time and time again
I can lean on you, trust in you, more than any friend
When I'm looking back, on my life, you never left my side
I can count on you, to tell the truth, though it hurts sometimes
You inspire me, never lie to me, you never want to judge
If we share a day, I walk away, feeling showered with love
Even when I don't, you're holding on, you never let me go
Unconditional, spiritual
You're just like music in my life
You feel just like my guiding light
And I've been lost so many times
You're just like music in my life
Just like music
You're just like music
You took my wrong and made it right
Later on, you saved my world so many times
You're just like music in my life
Yeah, like a perfect harmony, your life stays in tune with my heart, ooh
Yeah, you bring out the best in me, and nothing's gonna keep us apart
You're just like music in my life
You take my wrong and make it right
You made it right girl
You've saved my life so many times
You're just like music in my life
You're just like music in my life
You take my wrong and make it right
You've saved my world so many times
You're just like music in my life
You better believe it,........ in my life
I forget about my troubles
I forget about my troubles
I forget about my troubles
I forget about my troubles
I just see you smile
I forget about my troubles
Just take my hand
I forget about my troubles
I forget about my troubles
I forget about my troubles
When I'm feeling down
I forget about my troubles
I forget about my troubles
See your smile
Knock knock knock who's therewho's
Knock knock knock who's thereanybody
Knock knock knock who's therewho's
Who's therewho's therewho's therewho's there
If you're wondering while you're knocking
Why I ain't opening up
I'm loving your best friend
If you're wondering while you're knocking
Why I ain't opening up
I'm loving your best friend
If you wonder why I'm tripping
Started out when we stopped talking
Found myself in the corner off drinking
But the problem just won't go
I distract myself with music
But my ear drums just refused it
So I dig into my wallet
And I stare at your photo
When I think of all the time
Candlelight, dinner and wine
You're the rib that's in my spine
But you would not make no time
So your girlfriend came around
All those times that you left town
Made me feel just like a king
When she sat down on my crown
Now it might seem kind of shady
And it shoots like a 380
Though I'm in another lady
I'm still thinking 'bout my baby
All the things we used to do, when I used to call you Boo
It felt like we were in grade school
But all those days are through
All those thoughts of going to the chapel
It's like someone just burned my castle
Paint the picture like Picasso
But the image fades
Now for some it might sound deep
But I just received a beep
So I called back anxiously
She put her lover on the line
If you're wondering when you're calling
Why I ain't calling you back
She said I'm loving a new man (she said to me)
If you're wondering when you're calling
Why I ain't calling you back
She said I'm lovin' a new man
(She said that she had someone new)
If you're wondering when you're calling why I ain't calling you back
I'm loving a new man
Oohh oohhbaby please (baby please)
You know this situation's buggin' me (buggin' me)
You got someone else but your girl's with me (girl's with me)
Now we've been friends girl for quite a while
I've never been the kind for beggin' and pleadin'
But I can tell by your hazy smile
All of his lies you've been finding are heavy on your mind
He broke your heart and he took your pride
Will you ever love again?
Though you try you don't believe it
Come over here, talk to me a while
Girl if you tried you would find that
Someone like me, simple and free
I could change your mind
I'll love you in places he couldn't find
Girl don't you see for the chance I've been waiting
For you to let me
Love the hurt away (that's all I wanna do)
Love the hurt away
If you ever did, girl you need me now
You don't need the complications of running to a stranger
So I'm coming over and I'll stay a while
Taking my time till I find that sparkle in your smile
Like a father's shoulder or a mother's arms
Girl I've always been the one
For strength and understanding
The rain will stop the clouds will be gone
Girl if you tried you would find that
You're someone like me, simple and free
We're two of a kind
I'll love you in ways no one has ever tried
Girl don't you see for the chance I've been waiting
For you to let me
Love the hurt away
Love the hurt away (for so many
years I been waiting for this night baby)
Love the hurt away, love the hurt away
I been there for you and you for me
Better friends we'll never find
Nobody really knows you (knows you, knows you)
No baby not the way I do (you know it's true oooh)
We could miss an opportunity for what we've both been trying to find
And girl it's time I told you (told you told you)
That all I ever really really wanted
All I ever really wanted was to hold you
Somewhere in my memory
An image fades from the years
But still I see my love and me together
Her face washed away by the salt of my tears
But I can feel so vivid still the love I felt for her
Someone's lying by me but I'm all alone
Soon she'll have to say good-bye
Somewhere there's a heartbeat of the love of my own
Everyday my heart beats with a prayer to find her
Take time to play around
Same games it's up and down
Can't wait till I've finally found
A love of my own
Take time to play the field
Take a chance, spin the wheel
Till I find something real
A love of my own
Flash back to the memory,
because the picture's so clear
The love high is so divine, there's nothing better
Heaven is so far away, but she'll bring it right here
And I believe that she can see my
face in her fantasy
No one here beside me she had to go
So I'll start my search again
Someday love will find me, when I don't know
There's a knock outside my door
It's you again!
There's a kiss that let's me know,
This love won't end.
There's a life, there's a touch and a smile
And we're making love,
And all is perfect in my lonely world again.
As we lay we make a plan for life together,
Holding on with all the might full worst or better,
I can't believe,
I can't conceive all the time that you're not with me,
But in a flash I'm in this lonely room again.
[Chorus:]
I don't wanna stay here lost in time,
I don't understand this heart of mine,
I keep letting go to fantasy,
Never letting go of you and me.
I don't wanna stay here lost without you!
There's a house upon the hill I hear the laughter,
And our children seem to grow each year much faster,
We're alone now in this emptiness and love still grows,
But only visions of a life that should have been.
[Chorus:]
I don't wanna stay here lost in time,
I don't understand this heart of mine,
I keep letting go to fantasy,
Never letting go of you and me.
I don't wanna stay here lost without you!
You are, the only one I'm holding down for always,
My heart, in the time of light, shinning bright in your...
So far,
I can't let go, I won't let go,
And that's why,
I will face reality till it brings you back to me.
[Chorus: x3]
I don't wanna stay here lost in time,
I don't understand this heart of mine,
I keep letting go to fantasy,
Never letting go of you and me.
I never felt the wind so cold
Until I had to walk alone (without you girl)
I never knew what it was to be a man
Well let me show you baby
'Cause now I understand
I never thought it'd hurt so bad
You never know 'til you lose what you had
I don't need to waste time runnin' around all over town
Now I know where to find true lovin'
And I knew the first time that I ever seen you
Let's stay together girl it would be so nice
If we just hold on and stay together
Everything will be alright...(we'll be alright)
Tell me why it feels so strong (tell me baby, tell me baby)
The years roll by, but s'til this heart you own
I never felt a love so completely
Don't you know we're riding on destiny
And I knew the first time that I ever seen you
Ooh girl you got me
'Cause when I wake up
You're the first thing on my mind
Tomorrow will be
So let's leave the past behind
Just let me lead you
To our happy ever after
And girl when we arrive
I can tell you're feeling uninspired
I can see you've lost most of your fire
I don't see the will or the desire
I can't hold the hand that won't reach for me
I don't know your struggles or your reasons
And I don't know the names of all your demons
I'm just a friend who knows what you've been needing
Someone to share your burden, help set you free
So come and lay it down, you can lay it all on me
Come lay it down, put your mind at ease
Just lay it down, you can lay it all on me
Come lay it down
Baby everybody's trying to climb their mountain
And don't nobody know the way to go round it
If there's a road that's travel free, no one has found it
So don't ever feel like no one knows you're suffering
Everybody has a load that they must carry
To go it alone is so unneccessary
Don't let your pride deny this loving gift to cherish
'Cos I'm here for you and any healing that may bring
So come and lay it down, lay it all on me
Lay it down, let me put your mind at ease
Lay it down, come lay it, lay it all on me
Come lay it down
Funny when this pain is over, the light at the end I'll see
You will see, one day you will leave the shadow
Come lay all your burdens on me
Lay it down, you can lay it all on me, lay it all on me
Lay it down, put your mind at ease
Come lay it down, come lay it down
Put your mind at ease, lay it down
It's gonna be alright
I saw my brother
He did me wrong
He put a gun up to my face
My money's gone
I said please don't be that way
I'm just trying to make it through the day
He said you better not come 'round
me before too long
Whoa ooh
Love is crying (whoa oh)
Love is dying (whoa oh)
Love is crying (whoa oh)
I saw my sister, she did me wrong
I had a smile up on my face
But hers were so cold
I said sister please don't go
I'm just trying to say hello
She said you better not come 'round me
Before too long and I said
Can you hear the cries from heaven up above
Looking down upon this world of dying love
Open up your heart hurry don't delay
Before the chance to save
the world is gone away
I asked my father, Lord what's wrong
Thru his tears I heard him say
Child be strong
'Cause the world I'm trying to save
Done turned me away
But they better come 'round
This feels so wrong, I'm so confused
You give me love, but you can't be true
You say you need your space and time
With or without you I'll lose my mind
Oh yes I know if meant to be
In the future we'll be hand in hand
But girl right now you're killing me
'Cause I know you're making love to another man
Do you really want to be just friends
Don't you s'til love me
It's so hard for me to understand
You say you love me
You call me for some time to spend
Just long as I'm out your door by 10:00pm
Platonic love will have to suffice
Can't bear the thought of you out of my life
I've tried to end this misery
But I'm always picking up that phone
Swallow my pride, I beg and plead
I got the biggest part of heaven in my life
And I can feel it every time I see your eyes
You're my world, you're my light
India
If I could, you know I'd open every door
But your own journey makes it mean so much more
I believe in all your dreams
India
Down, you'll never let me down
When you follow your own way
Speak the words only you would say
Keep reaching for your star
It won't be far
When love's behind you
You're the miracle of life that love has made
This bond between the two of us will never break
Your flower blooms, I sing for you
India
You hold the universe inside your little hands
So don't you listen if they just don't understand you
When you try, you always fly
India
Yes, baby
Keep reaching for your star
If won't be far
I'm right behind you
You, yeah
I got the biggest part of heaven in my life
And I can feel it every time I see your eyes
You're my world, you're my light
India
I believe in all your dreams
India
When you try, you always fly
Some say that change won't come
We'll never live as one
They say it can't be done
But I know better
They say there'll be more rain
They say there'll be more pain
But sun's gonna shine again
And I know for sho'
If you really, really wanna you could touch the sky
Don't let them tell you, you can't fly that high
Anything you want you just go out and try
'Cause I know, I know, I know
They say the end is near
And they say it's almost here
But I say to have no fear
I know, it's not so
Some say that love's just a myth
It's a wonderful dream but it doesn't exist
But to look at you you're such a precious gift
That I know, I know
If you really, really wanna you could touch the sky
Don't let them tell you you can't fly that high
Anything you want you just go out and try
I know, I know
And if you really, really want it, it could be that way
Don't get caught up in what them people say
All your little dreams turn into bigger things
I know, I know, I know, I just know that I know, oh
The seeds you sowed determine what you grow
The road you take determines where you're gonna go
And when you feel it deep inside your soul
You'll know, you'll know
That if you really, really wanna you could touch the sky
Don't let them tell you you can't fly that high
Anything you want you just go out and try
I know, I know
That if you really, really want it, it could be that way
Don't get caught up in what them people say
All your little dreams turn into bigger things
I know, I know, I know, I know
For sure
I know
What I know
I know, I know
Still wanting me... still hungry
Now the first kiss was the one that left me seeing
just how deep your into me.
Surprised by your intensity, I couldn't believe.
Now the next kiss happened 7 days ago
that's when I started letting go
dropped my guard and let you know
i was ready for more.
Oh, thats when I took you home
and i wasn't quite ready for how you came
words can't explain
the pleasures we've explored.
oh, we've been making love 6 nights strong
and i can't believe just how long you can go
i'm ready for more of the hunger in your soul
{Chorus}
Girl you're blazing like you never get enough of me
its amazing and i'm loving that you're
still wanting me... you're still hungry
You keep rising like you're never gonna reach the top
I'm not trynna make you stop
because you're still wanting me... still hungry
Now the first time was amazing like I said.
Like nothing I've seen, done or read
Colors and music played in my head
I wasn't prepared
Now the next time happen when i finally caught my breath
I saw the sweat drip off your chest.
Girl you inspire my very best
and I gave nothing less
and it seems
with every conversation in between
i get a little more attracted
when you open up your mind girl I find
your perception of the world coincides with mine.
and I tried to let the fever in me subside
but every time i see that little look in your eye
i come back to life
and I rise, I rise, I rise, ohhhh
From the bedroom to the kitchen, up against the wall
Still I hear your body call because
you're still wanting me, and you're still hungry
From 100 miles an hour back to slow motion
I'm the waves up on your ocean
cause your still wanting me, and you're still hungry
{bridge}
Did you know that you smile when you're asleep?
is it there all the time...
or only when you're with me?
When the morning sun shines on your face
Let me be the first breath you take.
{repeat chorus til end}
Girl you're blazing like you never get enough of me
its amazing and i'm loving that you're
still wanting me... you're still hungry
You keep rising like you're never gonna reach the top
I'm not trynna make you stop
Won't you listen Miss Jones
Let me please come home
Please girl .....
I was a fool that's plain to see
'Cause I had it all when you were with me
One little trip that brought the fall
And one little girl that started it all
When you were away I felt so all alone
I guess I was weak, when I shudda been strong
I got no right to be here on my knees
But my sweet Harriet Jones, still I'm begging you please
Swing low, swing low, sweet Harriet
Baby won't you let me come home
Swing low, swing low, sweet Harriet
Baby won't you let me come home
See I was doing so good with this monogamy
But see these pretty young girls they won't let me be
Since losing your love I'm such a better man
And if you let me come home I swear you'll understand
Right now I spend all my nights sitting here alone
Just drinking this wine, missing our happy home
To break it all down I guess I'm trying to say
Some people must lose it all 'till they appreciate
Swing low, swing low, sweet Harriet
Baby won't you let me come home
Swing low, swing low, sweet Harriet
Baby won't you let me come home (x2)
You're the love of my life, we've been through so much together
Girl don't you know that you're my best friend
Yeah give my love another try 'cause
Don't you know the stormy weather
Can bring a brighter love in the end
Just let me come home, ooh let me come home baby
My Harriet Jones, ooh let me come home girl, please
Pretty pretty girls all over me
Pretty pretty girls won't let me be
Pretty pretty girls all over me
Pretty pretty girls won't let me be
Swing low, swing low, sweet Harriet
Baby I just wanna come home
Swing low, swing low, sweet Harriet
Baby don't you know I'm trying to come home (x2
Pretty pretty girls all over me
Pretty pretty girls won't let me be
Pretty pretty girls all over me
First time I ever saw you, across a crowded cafe
I was staring at my future, face to face
You were like a loving memory, though we'd never met before
Then you smiled, and my heart was yours, forevermore
Of all the things I've known that can't be denied
I've never been so sure, in all my life
I don't know how, I don't know when,
I don't know what I'm gonna say to make it all begin
But I do know one thing, as sure as anything
As sure as, love is still alive in this world
You're gonna be my girl, you're gonna be,
You're gonna be, you're gonna be my girl
I was going through some changes, and I know I broke your heart
But I've been working on myself since we've been apart
Yes girl, some things you have to just let go
Till you learn the way to hold them
You were the best of anything, I've ever known
The love we had comes once upon a life
And I'll be damned if I'll give up just let it die
I don't know how, I don't know when, I don't know
I don't know what I'm gonna do to bring you back again
But I do know one thing, one thing, as sure as anything
As sure as love is still alive in this world
You're gonna be my girl, you're gonna be,
You gonna be, you're gonna be my girl
Ooh, I know this road won't be easy, I know babe
It's gonna be the fight of my life, of my life
But a love that tries, is a love that survives
And I'll be holding on with all of my might 'cause I
I don't know how, I don't know when,
I don't know what the hell to do, to bring you back again
What the hell I'm gonna do,
But I do know one thing, one thing, as sure as anything
As sure as love is still alive in this world, you're my girl
I don't know how, I don't know when,
I don't know what the hell to do to bring you back again
But I do know one thing, as sure as anything
As sure as love is still alive in this world
Ghetto baby
I'm in need of something
That I lost along the way
You know that money's cool
But it makes my world so strange
Now I got ladies talking to me
But they ain't got shit to say
It's like I've come this far just to miss simpler days
I need to feel her tonight
Deeper love with honesty
I've seen a million girls
But there's just one kind for me
A ghetto girlliving in a ghetto world
A ghetto girlI like her 'cause she keeps it real
A ghetto girlshe lets me know just how she feels
There's only one girl for me
She won't never leave me guessing
Always let me know the deal
You know that ghetto love is always on the real
She got inner city struggles
And her blood runs deep in me
So when we make love we feel mad history
Well I'm not trying to put nobody down
In this superficial world
But if you need deeper love
You better find you a ghetto girl
A ghetto girlliving in a ghetto world
(Brother you love who you please)
A ghetto girlI like her 'cause she keeps it real
(But it's a sister girl for me)
A ghetto girlshe lets me know just how she feels
(It's that ghetto love I need)
There's only one girl for me
Girl if they tried
They would see you like I do
Hold your head up high
There's no one above you
With you by my side girl
There's nothing that I can't do
I've been around the world enough for me to see
Boy you best believe
It's going to be ghetto girls for me
Ghetto girl, ghetto girl
I never thought it was possible
in my reality
I thought my chances for love were gone
that time ran out for me
my heart has been through some
changes
and heaven knows
what I thought was my everlove
was so conditional
but my love everyday with you I'm
so surprised
morning comes I fall in love again
each night I'm thanking GOD you're
in my life
I don't know how I know but this feeling
won't be ending
CHORUS
everlove oh my everlove
ever lasting through all changes in
our lives
everlove you're my everlove
ever growing everyday and every night
I found my everlove
I'll never ask for perfection
that's how a love can slip away
I only ask for the truth in your heart the
rest we'll work out day by day
you've seen the best and worst of me
and you're still standing here
oh, there is nothing that can stop us now
cause' we've got nothing left to fear
the future will show
the power in a moment just like this
whatever love can dream we both
will know
whatever we imagine will exist
with every kiss I swear my life will be
deserving of you
everlove, oh everlove
everlasting through all changes in
our lives
everlove, you're my everlove
ever giving, ever learning with every cry
I found, my ever love
the winds of changes will blow
(come what may)
your friends may come may go
(I'll never go away)
these struggles of life they my put us
through the fire
but as long as I'm alive I'll be right there
by your side
REPEAT CHORUS
I never know that love could feel this way
let's share a life of love together baby
everlasting through all changes in our lives
come what may I'm gonna be here
with you
love you forever till my life is through
ever giving ever learning with every cry
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind
I close my eyes
Only for a moment, then the moment's gone
All my dreams
Pass before my eyes, a curiosity
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind
It's the same old song
We're just a drop of water, in an endless sea
All we do
Just crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind
Life's too short brothers and sisters
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind
Don't hang on
Nothing lasts forever, but the earth and sky
It's there always
And all your money won't another minute buy
Dust. . . all we are is dust in the wind
Life's too short brothers and sisters
Dust. . . all we are is dust in the wind
Open your eyes you've acquired quite a bit
Keep your balance don't you slip
It could all end instantly as you will see
Time waits for no one, it just moves on
There is a white one
Who won't accept the black one
Who won't accept the yellow one
Who can't accept the white. . .
When will we learn
That all we are is dust in the wind
Time for the healing to begin
All we is are dust in the wind
Time for the healing to begin
All we are is dust in the wind
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up now
Feels good, feels good, yeah
Now the heat of love feels like it's starting to cool
I hear the bells, but they don't ring the way they used to
It looks like breaking up is our next obvious move
But let's not move too soon, oh no
See the problem going 'round too often these days
People throwing in the towel once they pass the honeymoon phase
A stronger love awaits if we endure this pain
Or else we've been these years, cried these tears in vain, I'm saying
Don't let go, that's all I'm saying
Don't let go, ooh girl, let's stop playing
No, don't let go, think of all the love we've been making
Don't let go, don't let it go
I've worked your patience, girl, and you've been working my nerves
We scream at each other, but we're not hearing one word
We've made mistakes that neither one of us deserves
Leaving much desired where I was concerned
I saw an old man and his wife early today
They were holding hands, his eyes locked in her gaze
Think of all the times they came so close to parting ways
In my mind I could hear him say me , stay babe
Don't let go, I could hear him say
Don't let go, don't throw the love away
No, don't let go, aren't we worth it, baby?
Don't let go, don't let it go
Don't let go, that's all I'm saying
Don't let go, ooh girl, let's stop playing
No, don't let go, think of all the love we've been making
Don't let go, don't let it go
With some other girl, I could move on
Trading old problems just for new
To some other guy you could belong
Going through changes we've been through
When another brother is trying to make a play
Oh no, don't you let go
When another woman jump in my face
Oh, I better not let go
When the honeymoon starts fading away
Oh no, I won't let go
If we're gonna make it I wanna hear you say
Oh no, I swear I won't let go
Don't let go, that's all I'm saying
Don't let go, ooh girl, let's stop playing
No, don't let go, think of all the love we've been making
Don't let go, don't let it go
Don't let go, I wanna hear you say
Don't let go, don't throw this love away
No, don't let go, you know we're worth it, baby?
Don't let go, don't let it go
I could hear him say
Don't throw the love away
I know the road of love lately has been a rocky one
It seems as though we can't see eye to eye
Girl we fight just a little too much, love just a little bit too late
A little sexual healing might help us find our way girl
Baby can we come, baby let's come together
Baby can we come, baby can we come at the same time
If every grinding perfect time I'll hit that magic spark girl
Take our time with each position, 'till we find that right connection girl
You'll see that we don't need to jepordize this love
I'm not just talking physical so, come with me and love will grow
Baby can we come, baby let's come together,not baby hey
Baby can we come at the same time
Baby can we come, baby lets come together
Baby can we come, baby can we come at the, same time
Don't you want to come out baby, everything will be the way it was
I don't wanna fight no more, so why don'tcha dim the lights
And close the door, just close the door, just go close the door
Get it, get it, baby get it, just to see you, oh yeah, I want you so bad
Baby can we come, baby let's come together
Baby can we come, baby can we come at the same time
Baby can we come, baby let's come together
Baby can we come, baby can we come at the same time
Baby can we come, baby lets come together
Baby can we come, baby can we come at the same time
How I love you girl, don'tcha know I love you wontcha come with me
This world has up and gone crazy
I'm out here working trying to make it
Girl, it's so rough in this city
There ain't no resting for the weary
So baby feel me, I need something to feel
So my spirit can heal, babe
I need you to wrap them chocolate legs 'round me
So when I come home tonight, you'll make everything alright
When you gon' wrap them chocolate legs 'round me
The memory of my day will quickly just fade away
When you come wrap them chocolate legs 'round me
Please baby, wrap them chocolate legs 'round me
Your cocoa skin against mine, babe
Is all I need to help revive me
Just touch me and I feel pure, pure love
You're the only thing I'm ever sure of, your love I'm sure of
I need some reminding that God is still, He's still behind me
So baby, come take my soul and set me free
When you come wrap them chocolate legs 'round me
So when I come home tonight, you'll make everything alright
When you come wrap them chocolate legs 'round me
I need you to understand and make me glad I'm a man
Deep inside you that's where I need to be
Oh baby, just wrap them chocolate legs 'round me
Hold on, hold on
I only need you to wrap 'round me
Hold on, hold on
Don't let go, baby, don't let go
Don't you, don't you let go
I need some reminding that God is still, He's still behind me
So baby, just take my soul and set me free
I want you to know how much you mean to me
When you come wrap them chocolate legs 'round me
Oh, oh, tonight, I want you to make things right
Baby, come wrap them chocolate legs 'round me
What's the use of trying?
It never seems to work
The love just doesn't love you
Is the lesson you've learned.
You've mended broken pieces,
At least dozen times,
To take another chance now,
You see no reason why.
[Chorus:]
But there's always a reason for falling in love,
And it's always the darkest, before your light comes
Like the winter believes in the promise of a sun,
I guess there's always a reason for falling in love.
I'm praying your existence, and something that will pass,
Like when you said our first kiss, will surely be our last.
Girl, I understand you,
More than you believe,
Like you my heart was broken,
But you helped me to see...
[Chorus:]
That is always a reason for falling in love,
And it's always the darkest, before your light comes
Like the winter believes in the promise of a sun,
I guess there's always a reason for falling in love.
Is a lifetime of tears we can both leave behind?
Cause in so many ways we've been broken inside.
All the questions you ask, we'll find answers together in time.
All we need is to believe that...
[Chorus:]
There's always a reason for falling in love,
And it's always the darkest, before your light comes
Like the winter believes in the promise of a sun,
I guess there's always a reason for falling in love.
Always a reason for falling in love,
And it's always the darkest, before the light comes.
Why is my heart so
Afraid of letting go
And why did I push you away
It's so simple to see
That we were meant to be
But why are three words hard to say
It's all in the game
It's all in the game of love
It's all in the game
After all of this time
Can't get you off of my mind girl
To you every girl I'd compare
Every night she's trying
To satisfy me
But we both know nothing's there
It's all in the game (why must I keep playing)
It's all in the game of love
It's all in the game (I know love is waiting)
I think it's time I should let you know
I'm going to love you the rest of my life
I can't believe I once let you go
No one's to blame
