Power Of Love/Love Power
Written by: Luther Vandross, Marcus Miller, Teddy Vann
When I say goodbye it is never for long
'Cause I know our love still lives on
It will be again exactly like it was
'Cause I believe in the power of love
When you're close I can feel the power
When it's love I can always tell
Love for me is the best thing now
It's something that I know so well
Hold me closer and every minute
Of every hour, feel the power of love, yeah
Hold me tighter and take me higher
And feel the fire of the power of love
Did you know that your feelings show
You thought your love was locked up inside
But when your senses start to overload
Love is something you should never hide
You've got to believe in love
It's a feeling that's next to none
Can't stop until we are one
With the power of love
Tell everyone to try
I promise you'll reach the sky
One thing that we can't deny
Is the power of love
So close your eyes and you can feel it
Comin' straight from above, it's the power of love
You can't deny it, so don't even try it
Let the feelin' sweep you off your feet
You've got to believe in love
It's a feeling that's next to none
Can't stop until we are one
With the power of love
Tell everyone you see
How much better the world could be
For them and for you, for me
With the power of love
Ooh, ooh, ooh
My-my-my-my-my-my
You've got to feel the power
Yeah, yeah
So listen up and you will hear it
A symphony from above, it's the power of love
So glad we've found it, now there's no way around it
Just let the feeling sweep you off your feet
You've got to believe in love
It's a feeling that's next to none
Can't stop until we are one
With the power of love
Tell everyone to try
I promise you'll reach the sky
One thing that you can't deny
Is the power of love
When we walk down the street
We don't care who we see or who we meet
Don't need to run, don't need to hide
'Cause we've got something burning inside, yeah
We've got love power
It's the greatest power of them all, ooh...ooh...
We've got love power
And together we can't fall, sing it with
We've got love (Love) power (Power)
It's the greatest power of them all
Oh, we've got love (Love) power (Power)
And together we can't fall, and all the good
(We've got love) Ooh, we've got love (Power), yes, we do
(It's the greatest power of them all)
(We've got love) Love-love-love (Power)
(And together we can't fall) We'll never fall if we've got
(We've got love) If we've got love (Power)
(It's the greatest power of them all)
(We've got love) Tell the world we got love (Power) tell the people about it
(And together we can't fall) And it's all because we've got, we've got
We've got love (Love) power (Power)
Oh, it's the greatest power of them all and if you believe me
We've got more love (Love) power (Power)
And together we can't fall, I know, can't fall
We can't fall (Love) when there's a love power (Power)
'Cause it's the greatest power of them all
One thing I would love to do
Is talk to someone
Wish I knew who
Sometimes the people who know the least say the most
Makes you wonder who you can trust
What's gonna happen
The first thing I know
God is love
The next thing would be
He loves me
Sometimes I'm tired of waiting for a thing or someone
Then I stop and see what He's done
And I know everything will come
And it maybe today
Anything can change, nothing stays the same
And maybe today
What's tomorrow for
No one knows for sure
Through it all come may
Little miracles happen everyday
And so there you go
Strangely enough
Alone even so
Addicted to love
You're in and out so quickly
That it gives you a start
You're waiting for a message or a word
But you haven't heart from your heart
But it might be today
Anything can change
Nothing stays the same
And maybe today
For the love in me
I really believe
Through it all come what may
Little miracles happen everyday
What is a miracle
Love is a miracle
Every time that you care
Miracles happen somewhere
So many miracles
Even small little miracles
Just take one look about
It's not hard to figure out
Cause it might be today
Anything can change
Nothing stays the same
And maybe today
What's tomorrow for
No one knows for sure
Through it all come what may
Little miracles happen everyday
Little miracles happen everyday
Strumming my pain with his fingers,
Singing my life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song,
Killing me softly with his song,
Telling my whole life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song ...
I heard he sang a good song, I heard he had a style.
And so I came to see him to listen for a while.
And there he was this young boy, a stranger to my eyes.
Strumming my pain with his fingers,
Singing my life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song,
Killing me softly with his song,
Telling my whole life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song ...
I felt all flushed with fever, embarrassed by the crowd,
I felt he found my letters and read each one out loud.
I prayed that he would finish but he just kept right on ...
Strumming my pain with his fingers,
Singing my life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song,
Killing me softly with his song,
Telling my whole life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song ...
He sang as if he knew me in all my dark despair.
And then he looked right through me as if I wasn't there.
But he just came to singing, singing clear and strong.
Strumming my pain with his fingers,
Singing my life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song,
Killing me softly with his song,
Telling my whole life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song ...
He was strumming, oh, he was singing my song.
Killing me softly with his song,
Killing me softly with his song,
Telling my whole life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song ...
With his song ...

(But The Problem Is, This Time It's Mine)
So many times I've seen
So many people's dreams
Lost and washed away
Out to the sea, yeah
I said "No, not I"
Pain would surely pass me by
Happening to them, but not to me, yeah
Hearts get broken all the time
Never used to worry about things like this
But the trouble is (This time it's mine)
Now I'm worrying (This one is mine)
See the problem is the heart is mine
Love would be all I'd need
How naive could I be
Trusting other people with my care, yeah
Never thought I'd have to be
One of love's casualties
Up until now my belief was that love was fair
Hearts get broken all the time
But I never worried 'bout things like this
But the trouble is (This time it's mine)
I keep worrying (This one is mine)
See the problem is the heart is mine
This time my heart's breaking
This time my love's failing
I'm trying hard not to be bitter now
I never dreamed that the broken heart would be mine
Hearts get broken all the time
You think it's love, but it never really is
Never could imagine a thing like that (I wouldn't worry)
But the trouble is (This time it's mine)
Got me worrying (This one is mine)
See the problem is the heart is mine
This is mine, this is mine, yeah
Hearts get broken all the time
Never cared a doggone thing about that (I didn't worry)
But the trouble is (This time it's mine)
And the problem really is (This one is mine)
See the whole thing is the heart is mine
This time it's mine
This one is mine
The heart is mine
This time it's mine
This one is mine
The heart is mine
This time it's mine
This one is mine
The heart is mine
Love, what have you done
oh wow
I was sure up til now that she was a friend
i stayed til the end
(Don't be a fool again)
i once believed that love was fair
but I don't anymore
she said i'm a bore
my heart hit the floor
(don't be a fool again)
Each time around I tell myself
it's the game of love
ignore the signs and risk it all
in the name of love
well i've decided i can't let nobody hurt me again
so I'll say it til the end
i just don't want to be a fool
(don't want to be a fool)
said i don't want to be a fool ever again
whenerver a fool's in love
he doesn't know he's to blame
he's caught in the game
it all ends up the same
h(he doesn't feel the shame)
he looks at love in a different way
it breaks his heart everytime
they all turn estranged
but he'll never change
(he's never going to change)
next time around i'll tell myself
it'll be better than before
i won't look back
there'll be no one tearing my heart out anymore
i've just decided i can't let nobody fool me again
so i'll swear til the end
i just don't want to be a fool
(don't want to be a fool)
said I don't want to be a fool
ever again
(no way)
i mean no more
never again
ooh no never
can't be
noway
noway, noway
ooh, I don't want to be
I don't want to be a fool no
(i can't love anybody walking on a one way street
anyway, anyway, anyway
if i don't find somebody
that'll be alright with me
i know, i know, it'll be alright now
'cause i decided not to let nobody hurt me again
so i'll say it til the end
i just don't want to be a fool
said i don't want to be a fool
never, neber again
(don't want to be a fool)
can't be a fool
(don't want to be a fool)
never agaiin
Love came to me that day
Stayed longer than I planned
But change is good, they say
So I rearranged my world for them
For her and love and, here I go again
I spoke to my heart
Said, "Open up wide"
Then got the message you had changed your mind
And now here I am and I just don't understand
Baby, if you talk to me then I will listen
There can't be no "us" honey, if "you" are missin'
Yes I love you, yes I need you
ain't no world for me without you
I want you, I'm just too proud to beg
So sad the journey made
So high the price we have to pay
All for love...
And it hurts you anyway
I can't lose my soul to hope and wishing
You don't understand me, I know that you think...
I don't love you, I don't need you
But, my intentions are to love you
See, I want you, I'm just too proud...
To beg for your love
So don't put me through it
Take a little time to think about what you're doing
And try to understand why...
Yes I love you, yes I need you
ain't no world for me without you
I want you, I'm just too proud to beg
So sad the journey made
So high the price we have to pay
All for love...
I wanna tell you, baby
The changes I've been goin' through
Missin' you, missin' you, oh...oh...
Till you come back to me
I don't know what I'm gonna do
N-n-n-no, n-n-no
Don't you remember you told me you loved me, baby
You said you'd be comin' back this way again, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, oh, baby
I love you
Yeah...I really do
Long ago
And oh, so far away
I fell in love with you
Before the second show
And your guitar
And you sound so sweet and clear
But you're not really here
It's just the radio
Don't you remember you told me you loved me, baby
You said you'd be comin' back this way again, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh, baby, yeah
I love you
I really do
(To belong) Yeah...hey...eah...yeah...hey...hey
(To belong) Whoa...ho...oh...whoa...ho...ho...
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
You looked for me to be yours
You want my love, but you're on the road
Don't you remember me anymore
Loneliness
Is such a sad affair
A sad affair
And I can hardly wait
To be with you again
And what to say, to say
To make you come again
Oh, honey
Come on back to me again, yeah, hey
I wanna be, I wanna be anywhere you are
Don't you remember you told me you loved me, baby
You said you'd be comin' back this way again, baby

Where are you again tonight
Are you holdin' someone else real tight
Sugar and spice
Righter than right
Never had a feeling so nice, no, girl
I wanna tell the world
I found me a girl
Sweeter than sweet
That's how I feel
Never had a feeling so real, no, girl
I wanna tell the world
I found me a girl
I told my baby that I had to get away
And that I'd be back another day
She didn't even ask me where I had to go
She said she didn't need to know, ooh, ooh
Just said she'd miss me every minute of the time
She wrote me that on a valentine
That's how I know that I can't stay away too long
¡RCause I'm gonna get myself back home to my
Sugar and spice (We've got a)
Righter than right (Love affair), said yeah, yeah
Never had a feeling so nice, no, girl
I wanna tell the world
I found me a girl
Sweeter than sweet (Ooh, sugar)
That's how I feel (Every day), say hey, hey, hey
Never had a feeling so real, no, girl
I wanna tell the world
I found me a girl
I can't think of anything that I would ever miss
More than her sweet and tender kiss
She's got something that I just can't seem to resist
And that's why I've got to tell you this, listen here
I've heard some talk there's gonna be a hurricane
Big heavy winds and lots of rain, it's gonna carry on
And that's why I'm hopin' that it's not gon' take too long
'Cause I'm gonna ride that wind back to my
Sugar and spice (We've got a)
Righter than right (Love affair), I say yeah, yeah
Never had a feeling so nice, no, girl
I wanna tell the world
I found me a girl
Sweeter than sweet (Ooh, sugar)
That's how I feel (Every day), I said hey, hey, hey
Never had a feeling so real, no, girl
I wanna tell the world
I found me a girl
I never knew I could feel like I do
I'm in Heaven, you see
If you need me you know where I'm gonna be
Look out
And everyday I thank my lucky stars
And all Heaven above
I'm at last and forever in love
She's my girl
She's mine all mine
(Gotta tell the world I found a girl)
I gotta take my time
(I found a girl)
And let everybody know
(Gotta tell the world I found a girl)
I mean tell the world

Said she's mine all mine
(Gotta tell the world I found a girl)

Sugar and spice (We've got a)
Righter than right (Love affair), I say yeah, yeah

I wanna tell the world
I found me a girl
Sweeter than sweet (Ooh, sugar)
That's how I feel (Every day), I said hey, hey, hey
I know that you've been good to me
And I know it's just a rumor spreading in this town
And I know know know it's a thing I don't believe
Cuz you know I'd never let you down baby
This is love that you see on my face
And it's impossible to erase
Still it scares me when I hear what I hear
You see, everybody's talking and they whisper in my ear
- But I know that you would never hurt me
I know you got a real good heart
Too bad they're talking for nothing
Trying for nothing
Cuz nothing's gonna stop our love
(Honey don't you see?)
I know about their jealousy
And I know about the talk that's growing in this town
And I know know know that they don't want to believe
That I'm not just a run-around baby
They say we will break up, just you wait
They gamble on the time and the date it will end
Not much longer, they swear
You see everybody's talking, I hear rumors everywhere
I don't believe what they think of you and me
When they say that we're in trouble
Cuz they don't know what they're talking about
It's just too bad we've got what they've never had
So they just stay busy talking
"She don't love him, he don't love her!"
I know that you would never hurt me
I know you got a real big heart
Too bad they're talking for nothing
Trying for nothing
Well I think I'm going out of my head
Yes I think I'm going out of my head over you, over you
I want you to want me, I need you so badly
I can't think of anything but you, yeah
And I think, I'm going out of my head
'Cause I can't explain these tears that I shed
Baby over you over you, I see you each morning
But you just walk past me you don't even notice I exist
Going out of my head over you baby
Out of my head over you darlin'
Been out of my head oh, baby
I must think of a way into your heart
There's no reason why
My being shy should keep us apart
Umm, yeah, ohhh, shoobop, shoobop, baby
Shoobop, shoobop my love
I see you each morning
But you just walk past me
You don't even notice that I exist
Going out of my head over you darlin'
Out of my head over you, out of my head
I'm going, going, going, going, going
Girl, girl, yeah, I'm going, going, going, going, going
Come on, give me, give me your loving
You know
I've had a lot of things happen to me in my life
And yet
I don't spend much of my time
Feelin' sad
I don't let anything turn my sunshine to rain
I never have
Well, people have told me I'm not worth the time of day
Said I was over the hill
And it's been said that I always get in the way
But nothin' seemed to hurt me till
You stopped lovin'
You stopped lovin' me
Why'd you do that
You stopped lovin'
You stopped lovin' me
Lovin' me
And I don't want to do
Don't know what I'm gonna do, my love
(You stopped)
(You stopped)
(You stopped)
I just can't get it together since
(You stopped)
(You stopped)
(You stopped)
Out of your love, my love came
You made me strong
Well, it's just a shame, I don't know who or what to blame
Now that you're gone
I walk down the avenue right where I first met you
That nothin' else could do, yeah, yeah
Not a place I go through that I don't run into
Somethin' to remind me that
You stopped lovin'
You stopped lovin' me
Why'd you do that
You stopped lovin', oh
You stopped lovin' me
Lovin' me
And I don't want to do
Don't know what I'm gonna do, my love
(You stopped)
(You stopped)
(You stopped)
I just can't get it together since
(You stopped)

(R. Kelly)
It doesn't take much for me to know when a woman's lonely
Especially when I'm alone myself
If there's anyone out there that needs love like I need love
Just hold on and I'll be there
(When you call on me, babe) When you call on me
Baby, that's when I'll come runnin' (Runnin) to you (To you)
When you call on me (Yeah...)
Baby, that's when I'll come runnin', runnin'
If ever I find that someone special for me

Now I lay me down to sleep and hope that heaven hears my heart
Send me someone right now

Baby, that's when I'll come runnin' (Runnin) to you (To you)

Baby, that's when I'll come runnin', runnin' (I'll come runnin' to you, baby)
Oh, I promise when you fall asleep
At night I will be there
To cuddle you in love
And show you that I care
It doesn't take much for me to know when a woman's lonely
Especially when I'm alone myself
If there's anyone out there who needs love like I need love
Just hold on and I'll be right there
(When you call on me, babe) When you call on me

When you call on me (Yeah, yeah, yeah, runnin')
Baby, that's when I'll come runnin', runnin' (Runnin')
When you call on me
Baby, that's when I'll come runnin' to you
When you call on me
Baby, that's when I'll come runnin', runnin'
When you call on me
I fell asleep last night
And I dreamed the night
and almost half the day away
I just got up so that
I can hear her say
She's still in love
and no one can take her love away
Ooo love wakes me up everyday
And I thought no one
would ever make me feel this way
It feels me up everytime
I hear her say
She's still in love
and no one will take her love away
I wanna be love
There's nothing better than love
What in the world
could you ever be thinking of
It's better by far
So let yourself reach for that star
And go no matter how far
To the one you love
To love
And I mean all these words I said
And you don't have to guess
what's going on inside me head
Just try to know
All the things that our heart says
Listen to love and always
get love to lead the way
Whenever you love
You know for love
I'd go anywhere
I would go there
For love to the end of nowhere
And for your love
(And for your love)
I would,
I would
I would love
To just spend all my time
With a girl who makes me
feel her love is mine
Someone you see
Who would only dream of me
And she be in love
just because she wanna be
[Janet] Are you ready?
Free, free, baby,
Boy, when you look at me,
Do you judge me by my cover?
Got to be kiddin' me, to think that I'm that kind of lover
I don't mean to disagree, sorry, you can't buy my kisses
Open your eyes and see,
True love comes for free
[Luther]
I'm keepin' my heart open, and hopin' you won't stab me in it
'Cause I've been in love before, and when I had to pay I didn't
I'll lose my sanity, tryin' to measure your intentions
What do you want from me?
How much will it be?
[Janet]
No more than you're willing to give
'Cause you won't pay nothin' for this good lovin', it's for free
[Luther]
And I won't make you promises,
I'll just do all I can to be your lover 'cause I understand
[Both on chorus]

I wanna tell you, baby
The changes I've been goin' through
Missin' you, missin' you, oh...oh...
Till you come back to me
I don't know what I'm gonna do
N-n-n-no, n-n-no
Don't you remember you told me you loved me, baby
You said you'd be comin' back this way again, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, oh, baby
I love you
Yeah...I really do
Long ago
And oh, so far away
I fell in love with you
Before the second show
And your guitar
And you sound so sweet and clear
But you're not really here
It's just the radio
Don't you remember you told me you loved me, baby
You said you'd be comin' back this way again, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh, baby, yeah
I love you
I really do
(To belong) Yeah...hey...eah...yeah...hey...hey
(To belong) Whoa...ho...oh...whoa...ho...ho...
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
You looked for me to be yours
You want my love, but you're on the road
Don't you remember me anymore
Loneliness
Is such a sad affair
A sad affair
And I can hardly wait
To be with you again
And what to say, to say
To make you come again
Oh, honey
Come on back to me again, yeah, hey
I wanna be, I wanna be anywhere you are
Don't you remember you told me you loved me, baby
You said you'd be comin' back this way again, baby
Baby, baby, baby, woo, baby, oh, baby
Yes, I love you

I used to be sad
But now it's alright, it's alright
Ooh, baby, it's alright, it's alright
Alright now
I wonder, I wonder
Where are you again tonight
Are you holdin' someone else real tight
I wonder, I wonder, I wonder
Baby, baby, sweet baby
There's something that I've just got to say
Baby, baby, sweet baby
You left me hurtin' in a real cold way
Speak your name and I feel a thrill
You said I do, sure thing, and I said I will
I told you to just be true
And give me just a little time
Wait on me, baby
I want you to be all o' mine
I've just been so blue
Since you've been gone
(why'd ya do it, why'd ya have to do it)
Since you've been gone
I've been missin' you
Miss your good love
Miss your kissin' too
What a shame, why'd you do that
Why'd you tip on me?
Come home, bring your love back now
To rescue me, Uh Huh
Baby, baby, sweet baby
(sweet, sweet baby)
I didn't mean to run you away
It was pride on my lips
But not in my heart
To say the things that made you stray
And I mean
Hear me now (hear me)
I don't know what I'm gonna do (hear me)
Gotta get you back somehow (hear me now)
And all I know is if ya
Take me back
Consider me, please
If you walk in that door
I can get you off my knees
And I've just been so blue
Since you've been gone
(why'd ya do it, why'd ya have to do it)
Since you've been gone
(why'd ya do it, why'd ya have to do it)

She's a Superlady,
She is, too much,
Wish I could make her mine,
What a superlady,
a-ha, alright,
She's so fine,
Verse 1
Not long ago I was,
A sad and lonely boy,
Did not know how to get better,
Then heaven up above,
Sent me a super love,
And now I'm happy forever.
No one wants to believe,
I've got a perfect love,
They say I'm just talking crazy,
But I can prove it's true,
If you'l allow me to,
Tell you 'bout my Super Lady
B-sec
She's all that I could explore,
She's more than a dream,
She's my everthing
Chorus x2
Verse 2
Whoever thought I would,
Be feeling half this good,
The world for me is new place,
I'll drink to happiness,
Because our love's the best,
The wine for me has a new taste,
I'll let my lady know,
I'll never let her go,
Forever I'm gonna hold on,
She said she feel's the same,
Don't wanna play no game,
Just wants our love to live on and on,
B-sec 2
Wish I could fly to the sky,
And write out her name,
Climb to the top of the world,
And loudly exclaim,
She's my everything
(She's my everything)
(oo-oo) I love (that superlady) x4
She 's much, too much,
she's got that super love
She's much, too much for my heart
Repeat til end
I was hanging with some friends of mine
We were all having a real good time, yeah
I saw a girl who was so very fine
I started waving my hands, my arms, my head
Got the nerve; found the words to say
But to my surprise she was passing
I mean it was strange `cause she just walked away
She won`t talk to me, she won`t talk to me
Now you`re nervous with the fever
Body beat and never quit
I`m in heaven when I see her
Won`t you talk some little things?
Hope she talk to me
I can`t hear (What cha gonna do?)
You can`t sit down like no one all by yourself
(I just wanna talk to you) And nobody else, yeah
I just wanna tell her
She`s the girl of my fantasies
How we meet in my dreams every night it seems
And how love can be, I wanna (love you)
I`m gonna be (your love)
It`s not everyday we see the one
That your heart`s been likely dreaming of
There`s that look in her eyes, so I don`t know why
She won`t talk to me, she won`t talk to me
She pretends she doesn`t see me
Leaves me standing in the rain
`Cuz I know she wants to meet me
She`s just playing silly games
I said girl (What cha gonna do?)
Wanna show you a love that you just gotta see
(I just wanna talk to you) But she won`t talk to me
And ooh, I`m telling everyone
I`m not dreaming anymore
`Cause I know she won`t talk to me now
And at least she can`t say no
And I`m going crazy
Trying to make her notice me
I go up, I get down, I turn all around
She won`t talk to me, she won`t talk to me
I said (Hey there baby)
I said (Hey there girl)
I said (Hey there baby)
She won`t talk to me
She won`t talk to me
(repeat to fade)
I need to have you next to me in more ways than one
And I refuse to leave till I see the mornin' sun
The time is right, you hold me tight
And love's got me high
Please tell me, 'Yes' and don't say, 'No'
Honey, not tonight
Move a little close to me, you owe it to yourself
And I will selfishly take a little for myself
And it's because of you
That love won't let me wait
Yeah, yeah
The time is right, turn down the lights
And take my hand, ooh, ooh, yeah
We'll take a flight and spend the night
In Wonderland
And I need to have you next to me in more ways than one
And I refuse to leave till I see the mornin' sun
Creep through your window pane
Because love won't let me wait
Not another minute
Ooh...ooh...ooh...yeah...yeah...
And I need your love so desperately and only you can set me free
When I make to you, we'll explode in ecstasy
And I won't take the blame
That love won't let me wait
Love won't, no, no, no
Love won't, no, no, no
No, no, no, no
(Love won't let me wait)
Yeah...yeah...
Love won't
I said
(Love won't let me wait)
My baby
My temperature's risin', ooh
(Love won't let me wait) Won't let me
Not another minute
(Love won't let me wait) Won't let me
Baby, baby
(I can't wait) I can't wait (I can't wait) I can't wait, I can't wait (I can't wait)
I can't wait, no, no, no, can't wait
(Wait) No way, no way, no, no, no, no
No way, no way, no, no
(Doo...ooh...) Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...yeah
(Wait) I cant wait not another minute
Not another minute (I can't wait, I can't wait) I'll be there (I can't wait) yes, I will
I'll be there
(Wait) Comin', I'm comin', I'm comin'
Hold on, I'm comin', I'm comin', I'm comin'
(Ooh...ooh...) I can't wait, can't wait
I can't wait, can't wait
No way, no way, no way, no, no
No, no, no, no
(Wait) Ooh...yeah...ooh...ooh...
(I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait)
- How do I tell her
I don't wanna be here anymore
Nothing she did
I just don't feel the way I did before
How do I tell her
I don't wanna be here anymore
Nothing she did
I just don't feel the way I did before
I'm doing all I can to try and understand
Why my feelings faded away
She's been nothin' but good to me
I don't wanna hurt her but I must be free
I can't stay in this love
How do I say goodbye
She pretends she can not see
The love is gone from me
She carries on as if it is what it was before
But I don't love her anymore
I have to let her know
That I must let her go
I can't stay in this life
How do I say goodbye
Oh, I don't know what to do about it
Gotta tell her, gotta tell her, gotta tell her
Oh, there's no way to go around it
I've got to tell her now
But I don't know how
Listen, listen baby
Listen closely baby
I just gotta tell you
All the love we once had is through
Listen, listen baby
Listen closely baby
I don't wanna be with you anymore
You found me when I was alone
You held me and you made my heart your home
I sit around and dream
And there's no one else I see
Cuz there's no one else for me
I don't feel like crying
- I have no tears
Cuz I have no reason to cry
Love is on my mind
And my heart's no longer blue
Now that I have you
I don't let anyone tell me what to do
How to love, who to love
They don't know you like I know you
This is so natural, it's hard to believe
People all around me
And there's no one else I see
Cuz there's no one else for me
I don't feel like crying
I have the world, and I have no fears
And I know where my happiness is
Now that I've got you to care
Now that you've got me forever
Everything I don't want is gone
And I know I can't live without your love
All the things I wanted now
Are starting to be true
And all the dreams I ever dreamed
Are coming now that I have you
Love is on my mind
And my heart's no longer blue
Now that I have you
Oh, now that I have you
[One night with you]
[Everyday]
Ey, hey, yea
I don't wanna put no chains on you
I just wanna be here lovin' you
¡®Cause you touch me in a place
That puts a smile right on my face
But I don't wanna be holdin' you
Baby, only for an hour or two
I want you with me
In these arms for all eternity
I don't mean to put your under pressure
I just wanna spend some time together
And baby, if it's just for one night
Then give me just one night with you
Everyday of your life
One kiss in the morning
After a hundred kisses each night
Give me just one night with you
Everyday for all time
It would be so right
Everyday to have just one night with you (With you, hey, hey)
Love the things you say, the way you move
I'd love to stay here makin' love with you
¡®Cause you're just so good to hold
And you've wrapped your arms around my soul
So come on and take this heart of mine
You can have it till the end of time

Every single part of me
I don't mean to put your under pressure
I just wanna have your love forever
So baby, if it's just for one night, one night
Give me just one night with you [One night with you]
Everyday of your life [Everyday]

For all my life
Give me one, just give me one [One night]
One night, one night
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens,
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens,
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things.
Cream-colored ponies and crisp apple strudels,
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles,
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things.
Chorus
When the dog bites, when the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I just simply remember my favorite things
and then I don't feel so bad.
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes,
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes,
Silver white winters that melt into spring
These are a few of my favorite things.
Chorus
When the dog bites, when the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I just simply remember my favorite things
and then I don't feel so bad.
I just simply remember my favorite things
and then I don't feel so bad.
When I wake up in the morning, love
And the sunlight hurts my eyes
And something strange without a warning, love
Bears heavy on my mind
Then I look at you
And the world is all right with me
Just one look at you
And I know it's gonna be
A lovely day…
…lovely day, lovely day, lovely day…
When the day that lies ahead of me
Seems impossible to face
When somebody else instead of me
Always seems to know the way
It’s gonna be a lovely day (it’s gonna be)
It’s gonna be today
It’s gonna be a lovely day
Today I love the world and I love you
It’s gonna be today
A lovely day today
It’s gonna be today
Knocks me off my feet
I see us in the park strolling the summer days
Of imaginings in my head
And words from our hearts
Told only to the wind of even
Without being said
I donÅ want to bore you with my troubles
But thereÅ something bout your love
That makes me weak and knocks me off my feet
ThereÅ something bout your love
That makes me weak and knocks me off my feet
Oh baby said you knock me off my feet
I donÅ to bore you with it
Oh But I love you I love you I love you
I donÅ want to bore you with it
Oh But I love you I love you I love you
More and more
We lay beneath the stars
Under a lovers tree thatÅ seen
Through the eyes of my mind
I reach out for the part
Of me that lives in you baby
That only our two hearts can find
But I donÅ want to bore you with
The troubles
But thereÅ something bout your love
That makes me weak and knocks me off my feet
ThereÅ something bout your love
That makes me weak and knocks me off my feet
Oh baby said you knock me off my feet
I donÅ to bore you with it
Oh But I love you I donÅ to bore you with it
Oh But I love you I love you I love you
I donÅ want to bore you with it
Oh But I love you I love you I love you
To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
And to run where
the brave dare not go
To right the unrightable wrong
And to love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star
This is my quest
To follow that star
No matter how hopeless
No matter how far
To fight for the right
Without question or pause
To be willing to
march into hell
For that heavenly cause
And I know
If I'll only be true
To this glorious quest
That my heart
Will lie peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest
And the world will be
better for this
That one man, scorned
and covered with scars,
Still strove with his last
ounce of courage
To dream the impossible dream;
and to reach the unreachable star.
Lady, let me dry the rain drops from your beautiful hair
Thats all I ever want to do
And darling let be the one you can always depend on
You know I will never let you down
Cause I, want to spend my whole life just hoping
That I can please you, cause thats all I ever want to do

There is no one more beautiful than you are to me
Its all about you, its not about me
And I am proud to know that you have me here by your side
Cause its all about you, hey, hey
Lady, I will be the sunshine that brighten up your way
And it doesnt have to be a special day
Please, let me take you to a sacred place where only lovers go
Our own little hide away
Cause I, want to spend my whole life just hoping
That I can please you, cause thats all I ever want to do
Its all about you, its not about me
There is no one more beautiful than you are to me
Its all about you, its not about me
And I am proud to know that you have me here by your side
Girl, I have search all over the world
Trying to find that special girl
But when I looked into you eyes
I knew you were the one for me
So now I am giving my life to you
So what ever you want
What ever you need
I am willing and able to give
(Repeat until fade)
Its all about you, its not about me
There is no one more beautiful than you are to me
Its all about you, its not about me
And I am proud to know that you have me here by your side
Now I been gone, for sometime baby
But I been thinkin' of you, the whole time through
The thought of your love got me excited
And now that all the waitin' is done
It's time to have some fun my baby
Chrous:
Baby I love you so
I wanna love you head to toe
I can't wait, no I can't wait no longer
Come on baby, let's do this
You are my lover and my friend
I wanna love you 'til the end
I can't wait, no I can't wait no longer
So come on baby, let's do this, yeah
Now you know I'm not complicated
I only need you my sweet baby
Now that I'm back you better get ready
Cause I saved it all for you
I'm gonna love you through and through my baby
Repeat Chorus
I waited so long to get to this
Come on baby, let's do this, yeah
Ha, ha wait a minute Mr. Vandross
You say you been gone so long you need a dose
But, oh no that coming and going, it's got to go
Check my flow
You say you want this,
Well baby this you besta know
Spinderella ain't ain't new to this
I need my man to be true tho this,
So work it out, lace this if you can
And stay around - you the man
And I need you to be down
Repeat Chorus
Wait a minute
This is where I draw the line
Tell me what's got into you
Cuz apparently you've lost your mind
Repetitious fault just can't be overlooked
So I'm reading you your rights in case
You misunderstood
1 - The first time, a mistake
Second time, a bad decision
Third time, there won't be one
Cuz I won't let you do that to me
The first time, a mistake
Second time, a bad decision
Third time, honey, dream on
Cuz I won't let you do that to me
Don't think I haven't checked out
All your alibies
And the evidence concludes
That you're just telling me half the truth
Still I keep giving you
The benefit of doubt
Cuz I fell so deep in love with you
I struggle to get around
So if you wanna be down for me
I'm gonna be down for you
And if twice you break the rules
I've got to move on
You believed your first time
Cost you 25 years to life
But I won't wait for a third heartbreak
With my heart it's only two
Repeat 1
I don't believe you would mistake me for a fool
So if you're really smart, you better think twice
Before you move
I'll be too busy watching to hear a word you say
Just don't make the same mistake again
And everything's ok
Ad lib
Repeat 1 until fade
I've been alone with you inside my mind.
And in my dreams I've kissed your lips
a thousand times.
I sometimes see you pass outside my door.
Hello, is it me you're looking for?
I can see it in your eyes.
I can see it in your smile.
You're all I've ever wanted, my arms are open wide.
'Cause you know just what to say.
And you know just what to do.
And I want to tell you so much,
I love you ...
I long to see the sunlight in your hair.
And tell you time and time again
how much I care.
Sometimes I feel my heart will overflow.
Hello, I've just got to let you know.
'Cause I wonder where you are,
And I wonder what you do.
Are you somewhere feeling lonely,
or is someone loving you?
Tell me how to win your heart,
For I haven't got a clue.
But let me start by saying,
I love you ...
Hello, is it me you're looking for?
'Cause I wonder where you are,
And I wonder what you do.
Are you somewhere feeling lonely
or is someone loving you?
Tell me how to win your heart,
For I haven't got a clue.
But let me start by saying ...
I love you.
Why am I not surprised, I see it in your eyes
You're just not happy with your life
Running from guy to guy
Living another lie when you should be mine
I saw you on the block today
Was gonna speak, but I walked away
Couldn't find a single thing to say
Down the street the thought had still remained
Girl he must be insane
How could he treat you that way, oh
Just cuz he wants to make love
Doesn't mean that he's in love with you
And I really hope you hear me this time
Maybe one day you'll wake up
Then you'll have to face up to the truth
I don't want to be a hater
But he really needs to raise up off you
And I hope you understand it tonight
I don't care what it takes girl
There's too much at stake girl
No mountain's too high to climb
To bring your heart to mine
Why do we play this game
Love can't be contained
I've got to make my move, oh yeah
I can feel the flames
Whenever you're close to me
I don't know what to do
I'll wait long as I can for you
Give all that I am for you
I know he's not the man for you
In my soul, I got plans for you
I'll be holding on (Yeah)
Cuz I know that he'll be gone, ooh
Just cuz he wants to make love
Doesn't mean that he's in love with you
And I really hope you hear me tonight
Maybe one day you'll wake up
Then you'll have to face up to the truth
I don't want to be a hater
But he really needs to raise up off you
Girl I really hope you hear me this time
I don't care what it takes girl
There's too much at stake girl
Just give me some kind of sign
And I'll bring your heart to mine
Girl, I know sometimes
That you feel like the sun don't shine
But if you look real deep inside
You'll realize you should be mine
Just cuz he wants to make love
Doesn't mean that he's in love with you
Won't you try to understand me tonight
Maybe one day you'll wake up
Then you'll have to face up to the truth
I don't want to be a hater
But he really needs to raise up off you
Girl, I swear that what I'm saying it right
I don't care what it takes girl
There's too much at stake girl
I'll come for you anytime
To bring your heart to mine
Just cuz he wants to make love
Doesn't mean that he's in love with you
I really hope you hear me tonight
Maybe one day you'll wake up
And give me your love
It's killing me but I'm trying
I got your love
You need to look no further
Don't you know that
Don't you know that
After my love
You'll never need another
Don't you know that
Don't you know that
I don't make no promises I can't keep
And I promised myself that I'd love you forever
How many times must I say that
For you to understand the real thing
Don't you know that I love you so
Baby, don't you know
Don't you know that
I love you so, ooh, don't you know
Don't you know that
Without a doubt
You are my sweetest inspiration
Don't you know that
Don't you know that
I'm always down
For anything that you say
Don't you know that
Don't you know that
I love you so, yeah
I really love you, don't you know, yeah
Don't you know that
Alright, don't you know that
I really, really do, yeah
I'm really so in love with you, yeah
Don't you know that
Alright, ooh, yeah
I used to doubt every girl that I'd meet
I thought that nobody could knock me off my feet
But you are the one who made my heart's bell ring
And that's why I'm sure that this is the real thing, yeah
Don't you know that I love
Don't you know, ooh, ooh
Oh, don't you know that I love
Don't you know, oh, yeah
Don't you know that I love you so
Don't you know that
I bet a million dollars that you know
Don't you know that
Hey, baby, really don't you know that
Ooh, don't you know that
Don't you know I, don't you know I love you
Don't you know that
Hey, baby, really don't you know that
I love you, I'm in love
Ooh, ooh, I love
Don't you know that
Hey, baby, really don't you know that
Don't you know that
Don't you know that
Don't you know that
Hey, baby, really don't you know that
Don't you know, don't you know
That I love
Don't you know that
Hey, baby, really don't you know that
Don't you know that
Don't you know that
Don't you know that
He works hard to give her all he thinks she wants
But it tears her apart 'cause nothing's for her heart
Yeah, he pulls in late to wake her up with a kiss goodnight
If he could only read her mind, she'd say
Buy me a rose, call me from work
Open a door for me, what would it hurt
Show me you love me by the look in your eyes
These are the little things, I need the most in my life
Now the days have grown to years of feelin' all alone
As she sits and wonders if all she's doin' is wrong
Yeah, 'cause lately she'd try anything just to turn his head
Would it make a difference if she said, if she said
Buy me a rose, call me from work
Open the door for me, what would it hurt
Show me you love me by the look in your eyes
These are the little things, I need the most in my life, my life
And the more that he lives the less that he tries
To show her the love that he holds inside
And the more that she gives the more that he sees
This is the story of you and me
So I bought you a rose on the way home from work
To open the door to a heart that I hurt
And I hope you notice this look in my eyes
'Cause I'm gonna make things right for the rest of your life, rest of your life
And I'm gonna hold you tonight, tonight
I used to cry myself to sleep at night
But that was all before she came
I thought love had to hurt to turn out right
But now you're here it's not the same
It's not the same
She builds me up
She gives me love
More love than I've ever seen
She's all I got
She's all I got in this world
And she's all the woman that I need
And in the morning when I kiss her eyes
She takes me down and rocks me slow
And in the evening when the moon is high
She holds me close and won't let go
She won't let go
She builds me up
She gives me love
More love than I've ever seen
She's all I got
She's all I got in this world
And she's all the woman that I need
Always and forever
Each moment with you
Is just like a dream to me
That somehow came true, yeah
And I know tomorrow
Will still be the same
'Cause we got a life of love
That won't ever change and
Everyday love me your own special way
Melt all my heart away with a smile
Take time to tell me you really care
And we'll share tomorrow together
Ooh baby, I'll always love you forever
Ever, ever, ever
There'll always be sunshine
When I look at you, yeah
It's something I can't explain
Just the things that you do
And if you get lonely
Call me and take
A second to give to me
That magic you make and
Everyday love me your own special way
Melt all my heart away with a smile
Take time to tell me you really care
And we'll share tomorrow together
Ooh baby, baby, I'll always love you forever
Ooh baby, ooh baby, yeah baby, yeah baby, forever
Always love you forever
Always love you forever
Always love you forever
Yes, I'm the one who
Yes, I'm the one who loves you
Theres a whole lot of girls
messin around
trying to get me
They do things cause they know
my girl is away
they try to upset me
They cant believe I resist
how can I hold out,
where is that girl now
but the truth really is
I dont worry cause I love you baby so, That...
Chorus
No matter where my baby is
she never leaves me without love
She gives it up till I get enough
then Im alright
Til my baby comes home
if she stays away for long
she calls me on the phone
I jump up when I hear her voice
then Im alright
Til my baby comes home
I get weak in the knees
my hands start to shakin
head gets to achin
is she thinkin of me
or feelin the fire
with some other guy, yeah
I cant believe I can be
worried about her
I shouldnt doubt her
cause our thing is for real
and I dont worry
cause I know, I know, I know...
Chorus
Bring it on
Home to me
She makes everything alright, shes
good to me
Shes the best part of my life
cant you tell
That Im just like a new guy, Im doing
very well
cause I know shes coming back tonight
Every night when I sleep
I dream of my baby
shes such a lady
then I wake up and see
that shes laying by me
right there beside me
I cant explain how I fell
I really love her, keep dreaming of her
cause our love is for real
and I dont worry
cause I know, I know, I know
Chorus
(Miller/Vandross)
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the yultide gay
From now on our troubles will be miles away
Once again as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Will be near to us once more
Through the years we all will be together
If the faiths allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas night
O come, all ye faithful,
Joyful and triumphant,
O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem;
Come and behold him,
Born the King of angels;
(CHORUS)
O come, let us adore him,
O come, let us adore him,
O Come, let us adore him,
Christ the Lord.
Sing, choirs of angels,
Sing in exultation,
Sing, all ye citizens of heaven above;
Glory to God
All glory in the highest
(CHORUS)
O come, all ye faithful,
Joyful and triumphant,
O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem;
Come and behold him,
Born the King of angels
O come, let us adore him,
O Come, let us adore him,

Yeah...
O come, O come and love him, come together adore him
I wanna tell you, baby
The changes I've been goin' through
Missin' you, missin' you, oh...oh...
Till you come back to me
I don't know what I'm gonna do
N-n-n-no, n-n-no
Don't you remember you told me you loved me, baby
You said you'd be comin' back this way again, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, oh, baby
I love you
Yeah...I really do
Long ago
And oh, so far away
I fell in love with you
Before the second show
And your guitar
And you sound so sweet and clear
But you're not really here
It's just the radio
Don't you remember you told me you loved me, baby
You said you'd be comin' back this way again, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh, baby, yeah
I love you
I really do
(To belong) Yeah...hey...eah...yeah...hey...hey
(To belong) Whoa...ho...oh...whoa...ho...ho...
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
You looked for me to be yours
You want my love, but you're on the road
Don't you remember me anymore
Loneliness
Is such a sad affair
A sad affair
And I can hardly wait
To be with you again
And what to say, to say
To make you come again
Oh, honey
Come on back to me again, yeah, hey
I wanna be, I wanna be anywhere you are
Don't you remember you told me you loved me, baby
You said you'd be comin' back this way again, baby
Baby, baby, baby, woo, baby, oh, baby
Yes, I love you
I really do
Yeah, hey...
Yeah, yeah...eah...yeah...ooh...
Play it easy, play it easy
Keep it right there, keep it right there, keep it right there
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
What are you gonna say
It's alright, it's alright
Ooh, baby, it's alright, it's alright
Alright now
Keep it right there, keep it right there
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
It's alright, it's alright
Ooh, baby, it's alright, it's alright
Say it's alright, it's alright
Say, ooh, baby, it's alright, it's alright
Alright now
Eah...
L-l-l-l-love
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Eah...ooh...ooh...yeah...hea...
Say it's alright, it's alright
Ooh, baby, it's alright, it's alright
Alright now
Alright now
I used to be sad
But now it's alright, it's alright
Ooh, baby, it's alright, it's alright
Alright now
I wonder, I wonder
Where are you again tonight
Are you holdin' someone else real tight
I wonder, I wonder, I wonder
I am still your friend
Standing by to catch you
If ever life should let you down
And you should fall.
You don't need to pretend
If ever doubt should find you.
I don't need to remind you
I'm there for you before and after all.
I am who I am
And I would never fool you.
I feel the same way you do
About honesty.
But do we understand
How love is sometimes jaded?
It keeps us separated
Even though we'll never part.
Chorus:
So to be lovers
We've got to understand
Today is how today begins,
Tomorrow's how it ends.
And to be lovers
Some things we rise above.
'Cause sometimes love is wonderful
But sometimes it's only love.
Loving who I am
Is something that you've taught me.
The kind of love you've brought me
Takes me through the day.
And even though our minds
Are sometimes disagreeing
Our hearts they're still believing
We'll work it out and stay.
(Chorus)
I don't know how love could do this to me
I've waited and waited for someone I never see
But I'm so sentimental, and I'm so hopeful you'll be there
So, here I am every year, every Christmas, yeah
I've wished for you in my heart and in my head
And I got my answer that first moment that we met
And, oh yes, I believed you as you told me, as you said
You'd be here every year, every Christmas
There must be a lesson for me to learn
If you don't trust in love, you'll get nothing in return
Why should I be lonely, don't tell me it's fine
I have my pride, but I'd rather be with you tonight
So much emotion, it's driving me mad, yeah
But I'll take my chances with these feelings that I have
And I'll come back to this same corner where we met
And I'll be here every year, every Christmas
Mere words can't explain the pain and the fear
'Cause oh, I wonder, yes, I wonder are you gonna leave me standing here
Today's almost over, but I don't want to leave
Has my heart made a fool out of me?
My friends gather round me with holiday cheer, yeah
They say to forget you, to let you go 'cause you're not here
Well, I can't keep explaining what they'll never understand
And why I'm here every year, every Christmas
I return every year, every Christmas
We can't change the way we were
But we can change the way we are
All I really wanted
From this crazy love
Was a night so full of stars
That our hearts could not pretend
Oh what I wouldn't give
To have that crazy love again
I believe in second chances
And I'm holding on for sure
To your crazy love
To your crazy love
Crazy love
I lived my l life for you
But now I'm left with me
Hanging on to pieces
Of what used to be
And no matter how I try
When I feel another's touch
It brings me back to why
I miss our crazy love so much
I believe in second chances
And I'm holding on for sure
To your crazy love
To your crazy love
Crazy love
Yes I believe in second chances
And I'm holding on for sure
To our crazy love
Learn to love and you learn to survive
My mistake was thinking love wouldn't catch me
It was the story of my life
I awakened seeing with new eyes
I begged forgiveness, but love wouldn't hear me
Taught you to fear me, baby
Love forgot we used to be just fine
And love forgot about the tender times
Love forgot to ask you if you'd want to give me
Give me one more try
Maybe love forgot this time
Love can't love someone who breaks a vow
But I was not myself, my heart wasn't in it
I still loved you every minute
I could fix it if you show me how
You didn't hear it from somebody else, I told you
Praying you'd let me hold you
(I can't believe) Love forgot the power to forgive
(Impossible) And love forgot that we depend on it
(It couldn't be) Love forgot that it's the only way
Our poetry will ever rhyme
I think love forgot this time
But who would have ever known
I'd ever be tempted, but I'm hopin'
Love will show me what to do
Cuz if it was all so easy
Then anybody else coulda shown me
I don't understand how you wouldn't know
I never even meant it
(I can't believe) Did love forget this was the only time
(Impossible) Did love forget I tried to set things right
(It couldn't be) Did love forget to remember
That regret lives in this heart of mine
Maybe love forgot this time
(I can't believe) Love forgot the power to forgive
(Impossible) And love forgot that we depend on it
(It couldn't be) Love forgot that it's the only way
That poetry will ever rhyme
Maybe love forgot this time
Did you forget this time
Did you forget this time
Don't forget me now
Don't forget me now
Did you forget somehow
So many times I've seen
So many people's dreams
Lost and washed away
Out to the sea, yeah
I said "No, not I"
Pain would surely pass me by
Happening to them, but not to me, yeah
Hearts get broken all the time
Never used to worry about things like this
But the trouble is (This time it's mine)
Now I'm worrying (This one is mine)
See the problem is the heart is mine
Love would be all I'd need
How naive could I be
Trusting other people with my care, yeah
Never thought I'd have to be
One of love's casualties
Up until now my belief was that love was fair
Hearts get broken all the time
But I never worried 'bout things like this
But the trouble is (This time it's mine)
I keep worrying (This one is mine)
See the problem is the heart is mine
This time my heart's breaking
This time my love's failing
I'm trying hard not to be bitter now
I never dreamed that the broken heart would be mine
Hearts get broken all the time
You think it's love, but it never really is
Never could imagine a thing like that (I wouldn't worry)
But the trouble is (This time it's mine)
Got me worrying (This one is mine)
See the problem is the heart is mine
This is mine, this is mine, yeah
Hearts get broken all the time
Never cared a doggone thing about that (I didn't worry)
But the trouble is (This time it's mine)
And the problem really is (This one is mine)
See the whole thing is the heart is mine
This time it's mine
This one is mine
The heart is mine
This time it's mine
This one is mine
The heart is mine
This time it's mine
This one is mine
The heart is mine
I thought sometime alone
was what we really needed
you said this time would hurt more than it helps
but I couldn't see that
I thought it was the end
of a beautiful story
and so I left the one I loved at home to be alone (alone)
and I tried to find
out if this one thing is true
that I'm nothing without you
I know better now
and I've had a change of heart
I'd rather have bad times with you, than good times with someone else
I'd rather be beside you in a storm, than safe and warm by myself
I'd rather have hard times together, than to have it easy apart
I'd rather have the one who holds my heart
whoo-oo-oo-oo yeah
And then I met someone
and thought she could replace you
we got a long just fine
we wasted time because she was not you
we had a lot of fun
though we knew we were faking
love was not impressed with our connection they were all lies, all lies
so I'm here cause I found this one thing is true
that I'm nothing without you
I know better now
and I've had a change of heart
I'd rather have bad times with you, than good times with someone else
I'd rather be beside you in a storm, than safe and warm by myself
I'd rather have hard times together, than to have it easy apart
I'd rather have the one who holds my heart
who holds my heart
I can't blame you if you turn away from me, like I've done you,
I can only prove the things I say with time,
please be mine,
I'd rather have bad times with (please be mine) you,
than good times with someone else (I know)
I'd rather be beside you in a storm (anytime),
than safe and warm by myself (so sure baby)
I'd rather have hard times to gether,
than to have it easy apart
I'd rather have the one who holds my heart (my heart)
I'd rather have bad times with you (surely),
than good times with someone else (surely)
I'd rather be beside you in a storm (oh yeah),
than safe and warm by myself (all by myself)
I'd rather have hard times together,
than to have it easy apart (you know it)
I'd rather have the one who holds my heart
I'd rather have the one who holds my heart
I'd rather have the one who holds my heart
I see the way he treats you
I feel the tears you cry
And it makes me sad and it makes me mad
There's nothin' I can do, baby
Cuz your lover is my best friend
And I guess that's where the story ends
So I've gotta try to keep it inside
You'll never be, never be mine
- But if I was the one who was loving you, baby
The only tears you'd cry would be tears of joy
And if I was by your side
You'd never know one lonely night
If it was my arms you were running to
I'd give you love in these arms of mine
If I was the one in your life
If I could have just one wish
I'd wish that you were mine
I would hold you near, kiss away those tears
I'd be so good to you, baby
You're the one I want next to me
But I guess that's just not meant to be
He's there in your life, he's sharing your nights
I'll never be, never be, never be right
I want to reach out and feel you beside me, beside me
Right here, right now, right beside me baby, baby
And take you in my arms right now
And scream I love you right out loud
And then someday I'll pray I'll find
I'll find the strength to turn to you and say
If I was the one, if I was the one, the one
It doesn't take much for me to know when a woman's lonely
Especially when I'm alone myself
If there's anyone out there that needs love like I need love
Just hold on and I'll be there
(When you call on me, babe) When you call on me
Baby, that's when I'll come runnin' (Runnin) to you (To you)
When you call on me (Yeah¡)
Baby, that's when I'll come runnin', runnin'
If ever I find that someone special for me
I will do all that I can to keep her in my life
Now I lay me down to sleep and hope that heaven hears my heart
Send me someone right now
(When you call on me, babe) When you call on me (Hey¡)
Baby, that's when I'll come runnin' (Runnin) to you (To you)
(Hey, hey) When you call on me (Call on me)
Baby, that's when I'll come runnin', runnin'
When you call on me (Me)
Baby, that's when I'll come runnin' (Runnin')
When you call on me (Yeah¡hey¡)
Baby, that's when I'll come runnin', runnin' (I'll come runnin' to you, baby)
Oh, I promise when you fall asleep
At night I will be there
To cuddle you in love
And show you that I care
It doesn't take much for me to know when a woman's lonely
Especially when I'm alone myself
If there's anyone out there who needs love like I need love
Just hold on and I'll be right there
(When you call on me, babe) When you call on me
Baby, that's when I'll come runnin' (Runnin) to you (To you)
When you call on me (Baby)
Baby, that's when I'll come runnin' (To ya), runnin'
When you call on me (When you call on me)
Baby, that's when I'll come (I'll come) runnin' (I'll come), runnin' (I'll come runnin')
When you call on me (When you call on me)
Baby, that's when I'll come runnin', runnin' (Whenever you need)
When you call on me (Oh¡oh¡)
Baby, that's when (When) I'll come (I'll come runnin, runnin') runnin' to you (To you, babe)
When you call on me (Yeah, yeah, yeah, runnin')
Baby, that's when I'll come runnin', runnin' (Runnin')
When you call on me
Baby, that's when I'll come runnin' to you
When you call on me
Baby, that's when I'll come runnin', runnin'
When you call on me
Quarter after seven, got a phone call
Telling me to get here quick
Said your girl is in a bad situation
They don't know if she's gonna make it
As I hurry to be by her side
I ask a thousand times, why oh why
There's no rhyme or reason in my life
With you lying here this way
I'd give anything just to trade places with you
So I'm begging heaven down on my knees
To help you make it through
- Tell me can heaven wait
Can heaven wait just one more night
Tell me what it's gonna take
To keep you with me in my life
Giving up the shame of my other life
Now I'm seeing things in a whole new light
Lord, I vow to change if you just make it right
Can heaven wait one night
Thinking back on times that I've wasted
I should have cherished every day
All the different flavors that I tasted
Can't compare to you, no way
As I reminisce by your side
Tears of guilt are streaming from my eyes
All the things I did that weren't right
Wish I could apologize
I'd give anything if I could trade places with you
So I'm beggin' heaven down on my knees
To help you make it through
I'm gonna stop the world, reverse the time
Do whatever it takes to keep you alive
Heaven has to wait one more day
Baby, take my breath so you can breathe
I need you here so don't you leave
When I say goodbye it is never for long
'Cause I know our love still lives on
It will be again exactly like it was
'Cause I believe in the power of love
When you're close I can feel the power
When it's love I can always tell
Love for me is the best thing now
It's something that I know so well
Hold me closer and every minute
Of every hour, feel the power of love, yeah
Hold me tighter and take me higher
And feel the fire of the power of love
Did you know that your feelings show
You thought your love was locked up inside
But when your senses start to overload
Love is something you should never hide
You've got to believe in love
It's a feeling that's next to none
Can't stop until we are one
With the power of love
Tell everyone to try
I promise you'll reach the sky
One thing that we can't deny
Is the power of love
So close your eyes and you can feel it
Comin' straight from above, it's the power of love
You can't deny it, so don't even try it
Let the feelin' sweep you off your feet
You've got to believe in love
It's a feeling that's next to none
Can't stop until we are one
With the power of love
Tell everyone you see
How much better the world could be
For them and for you, for me
With the power of love
Ooh, ooh, ooh
My-my-my-my-my-my
You've got to feel the power
Yeah, yeah
So listen up and you will hear it
A symphony from above, it's the power of love
So glad we've found it, now there's no way around it
Just let the feeling sweep you off your feet
You've got to believe in love
It's a feeling that's next to none
Can't stop until we are one
With the power of love
Tell everyone to try
I promise you'll reach the sky
One thing that you can't deny
Is the power of love
When we walk down the street
We don't care who we see or who we meet
Don't need to run, don't need to hide
'Cause we've got something burning inside, yeah
We've got love power
It's the greatest power of them all, ooh...ooh...
We've got love power
And together we can't fall, sing it with
We've got love (Love) power (Power)
It's the greatest power of them all
Oh, we've got love (Love) power (Power)
And together we can't fall, and all the good
(We've got love) Ooh, we've got love (Power), yes, we do
(It's the greatest power of them all)
(We've got love) Love-love-love (Power)
(And together we can't fall) We'll never fall if we've got
(We've got love) If we've got love (Power)
(It's the greatest power of them all)
(We've got love) Tell the world we got love (Power) tell the people about it
(And together we can't fall) And it's all because we've got, we've got
We've got love (Love) power (Power)
Oh, it's the greatest power of them all and if you believe me
We've got more love (Love) power (Power)
And together we can't fall, I know, can't fall
We can't fall (Love) when there's a love power (Power)
'Cause it's the greatest power of them all
I wanna tell you, baby
The changes I've been goin' through
Missin' you, missin' you, oh...oh...
Till you come back to me
I don't know what I'm gonna do
N-n-n-no, n-n-no
Don't you remember you told me you loved me, baby
You said you'd be comin' back this way again, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, oh, baby
I love you
Yeah...I really do
Long ago
And oh, so far away
I fell in love with you
Before the second show
And your guitar
And you sound so sweet and clear
But you're not really here
It's just the radio
Don't you remember you told me you loved me, baby
You said you'd be comin' back this way again, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh, baby, yeah
I love you
I really do
(To belong) Yeah...hey...eah...yeah...hey...hey
(To belong) Whoa...ho...oh...whoa...ho...ho...
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
You looked for me to be yours
You want my love, but you're on the road
Don't you remember me anymore
Loneliness
Is such a sad affair
A sad affair
And I can hardly wait
To be with you again
And what to say, to say
To make you come again
Oh, honey
Come on back to me again, yeah, hey
I wanna be, I wanna be anywhere you are
Don't you remember you told me you loved me, baby
You said you'd be comin' back this way again, baby
Baby, baby, baby, woo, baby, oh, baby
Yes, I love you
I really do
Yeah, hey...
Yeah, yeah...eah...yeah...ooh...
Play it easy, play it easy
Keep it right there, keep it right there, keep it right there
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
What are you gonna say
It's alright, it's alright
Ooh, baby, it's alright, it's alright
Alright now
Keep it right there, keep it right there
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
It's alright, it's alright
Ooh, baby, it's alright, it's alright
Say it's alright, it's alright
Say, ooh, baby, it's alright, it's alright
Alright now
Eah...
L-l-l-l-love
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Eah...ooh...ooh...yeah...hea...
Say it's alright, it's alright
Ooh, baby, it's alright, it's alright
Alright now
Alright now
I used to be sad
But now it's alright, it's alright
Ooh, baby, it's alright, it's alright
Alright now
I wonder, I wonder
Where are you again tonight
Are you holdin' someone else real tight
I wonder, I wonder, I wonder
I just love how long we've known each other
And I know you care about me
But I can't tell just where your life is going
You've been quite a mystery
You've got all of these brand new friends
They keep taking your confidence
But I'm keeping my faith in you
Deep in my heart of hearts
You've been worried, puzzled, surrounded by your trouble
But I'm keeping my faith in you
We all cried when your first bow was taken
No one could be prouder of you
But I care more about your heart if it's aching
If I'm your friend, what else can I do?
But those people who hang around
They keep bringing your spirit down
But I'm keeping my faith in you, yeah
Deep in my heart of hearts
If anyone can do it
I know you'll get through it
So I'm keeping my faith in you
I've known you ever since way back when
And I know you, you don't want to change, my friend
But you're under pressure, like no one could imagine
It's not a good time that you've been having
But you're a real strong brother, and I know you'll recover
So I'm keeping my faith in you
Keeping my faith in you
Deep in my heart of hearts
If anyone can do it
I know you'll get through it
So I'm keeping my faith in you
Keeping my faith in you
Deep in my heart of hearts
Keeping my faith in you
Deep in my heart of hearts
You've been worried, puzzled
Surrounded by big trouble
But I'm keeping my faith in you
Keeping my faith in you
My faith in you
Keeping my faith in you
My faith in you
Keeping my faith in you
Doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Oh...oh...oh...oh...oh...
A chair is still a chair, even when there's no one sittin' there
But a chair is not a house and a house is not a home
When there's no one there to hold you tight
And no one there you can kiss goodnight
Whoa...oh...oh...oh...oh...oh...oh...
Girl
A room is a still a room, even when there's nothin' there but gloom
But a room is not a house and a house is not a home
When the two of us are far apart
And one of us has a broken heart
Now and then I call your name
And suddenly your face appears
But it's just a crazy game
When it ends, it ends in tears
Pretty little darling, have a heart, don't let one mistake keep us apart
I'm not meant to live alone, turn this house into a home
When I climb the stairs and turn the key
Oh, please be there, sayin' that you're still in love with me, yeah...
I'm not meant to live alone, turn this house into a home
When I climb the stairs and turn the key
Oh, please be there, still in love
I said still in love
Still in love with you...yeah...
Are you gonna be in love with me
I want you and need to be, yeah
Still in love with me
Say you're gonna be in love with me
It's drivin' me crazy to think that my baby
Couldn't be still in love with me
Are you gonna be, say you're gonna be
Are you gonna be, say you're gonna be
Are you gonna be, say you're gonna be
Well, well, well, well
Still in love, so in love, still in love with me
Are you gonna be
Say that you're gonna be
Still in love with me, yeah...
With me, oh...oh...oh...oh...oh...
There's a party in Harlem, come on
I like to reminisce about that night we kissed
It was somewhere one night in Harlem
The nights were hot and bright
You could treat your honey right
Cuz Sylvia's would burn all night
The people there were really something
(You know that's right)
The music always kept us jumping
And it used to knock me down
When Smokey came to town
(And the miracles, please)
My favorite song was "Tears Of A Clown", oh yeah
There ain't nothing like them nights in Harlem
They really shake the funk up there
Tonight I'm gonna stomp in Harlem
And I'm gonna take my baby back
To the heart of Harlem
Big sister had a group
And they'd sit out on the stoop
And Lordy could they harmonize (Oh yeah)
My cousin Joe could blow
Just like the radio
And he used to drove them "B" girls wild
But when grandma started happy dancing
(Oh, she gon' break somethin')
She really turned the mother out
I like the way they do it up in Harlem
When there's a party up in Harlem
That's what it's all about
Ain't nothing like them nights in Harlem
They never fake the funk up there
I met my Cherie Amour in Harlem
And tonight I'm gonna take her back to the 'pollo
There's a party in Harlem
They say that all the stars will be there
Everyone is going to Harlem
Harlem is a party and everybody's going there
Follow me visually, cuz I usually be all around
Originallly everybody headed uptown
Finessing the fly way you crisin in your car
On the West Side to the highway, East Side D-R
And yes, we are about to set it
Forget it, I thought you knew
The Apollo is where I had to go with my crew
From BMW's to my daddy's Cadillac
He had the sunroof top wit the diamond in the back
Check the ambiance, the place a renaissance
Who frontin' nonchallant up in the restaurant
What you really really want, we grabbin by the clutch
Precise can flaunt with this and never too much
It's such a love flow, high but natural
The thug's a no-show, and drugs a no-no
The only thing that they was shootin' was pool
While Harlem nights was right, the party was cool
Nothing like them nights in Harlem
They really shake the funk up there
Tonight I'm gonna stomp in Harlem
I'm gonna take my baby back to the heart of Harlem
Nights in Harlem
They never fake the funk up there
I met my Cherie Amour in Harlem
Back to the Harlem Apollo
Nights in Harlem
They don't let you fake the funk up there
Tonight I'm gonna stomp in Harlem
I'm gonna take my honey
Back to the Harlem Apollow
Nights in Harlem
They really shake the funk up there
Tonight I'm gonna stomp in Harlem
I'm gonna take my baby
Wait a minute
Let's try something different
This is Luther
With the masters at work
Last night I had some trouble sleeping..
- Are you, are you, are you using me?
Are you, are you, are you using me?
Are you, are you, are you using me?
Are you, are you, are you using me?
No more will I let it be
You called his name out in your sleep
You're doing things so suspiciously
And I think that you're using me, yeah
Don't hang on me for security
Love is never free
Are you using me?
You pretended like we were friends
I was blinded by sentiment
You complicated what love should be
And I could swear that you're using me
I keep seeing things I shouldn't see
I've been watchin' you
Are you using me?
Are you, are you
Are you using me?
Listen, talk to me, talk to me, talk to me
Ooh, come on now and talk to me, talk to me
Hey talk to me, talk to me
Hey talk to me, talk to me
For my money, for my money
For my money, for my money
For my money, for my money
(Tell the truth)
For my money, for my money
For my body, for my body
For my body, for my body
For my body, for my body
For my body, for my body
Don't hang on to me for security
Love is never free, tell me are you
Using, using me, using, are you using me
Using, using me, using, are you using me?
I keep seeing things I should not see
I've been watching you, are you using me?
One time, one time (one time, one time)
One time, one time (one time, one time)
One time, one time (one time, tell me)
One time, one time (It's my desire)
Dream lover please be mine
I love you every night
Dream lover where are you?
You're the only one I'll ever love, uh huh
Dream lover of my dreams
I only see you when I dream my dream
I love you endlessly
I wake up nervous in a sweat
Don't ever wake me up
Don't wake me up
Dream lover you're the only one I love
It's only you who satisfies me
You mesmerize and mystify me
I'll never get this feeling from any other
And I really miss you in the morning
Dream lover you and I
Are two lovers of the night
Dream lover hope you see
You're the only one I'll ever love, uh huh
Dream lover of my dreams
I only see you when I dream my dream
I love you endlessly
I wake up nervous in a sweat
Don't ever wake me up
Don't wake me up
Dream lover you're the only one I love
How I wish that I could keep you
But I'll just see you when I see you
I wish the night would last just a little longer
Cuz I really miss you when it's morning
After each night, the day seems long
For dream lovers who wait to rush into each other's arms
It's you that keeps me dreaming
Dream lover please be mine
I love you every night
Dream lover where are you?
You're the only one I'll ever love, uh huh
Dream lover of my dreams
I only see you when I dream my dream
I love you endlessly
I wake up nervous in a sweat
Don't ever wake me up
Don't wake me up
Dream lover you're the only one I..
Love of my love
Oh, yes
A kiss in the dark
A certain time I can call you
A letter of love
But no name did you sign
Pretending to all
That we were just friends when I saw you
I didn't know that you wanted me to be
I didn't know that you wanted me for your
(For your) To be
- Your secret love
Why can't we tell somebody
'Cause secret loves
Never last as long
Your secret love
Will never be your true love
I can't be no secret baby
It's breakin' my heart
(You're breaking my heart)
You should've let me know, from the first time baby
That you were not, were not free to love
How could you wait so long
Oh, what a waste of love, baby
I should known that you wanted me to be
I should known
That you wanted me for your (for your) to be
I won't be you secret love
'Cause it's just a waste of my love
I'm tellin' you from the start
I won't be the one who gives you love
When your other guy ain't givin' you none
Don't come now, wait for awhile
Let's meet at the place downtown
It's a shame it has to be like this
I think I dream about you
Most of the time.
What can I say? Hey, Hey.
But I don't see you much.
It's only once in a while.
I want to know what you feel.
i used to hang around
Being the toast of the town.
But it's strange how your friends
can sometimes let you fall down.
But you
And everyone in the world can see
That I'm for real, honey.
See, I don't know how to fool your heart.
I just know what I know and what I know is. . .
I will treat you right.
Cause little darlin'
You've got to be mine.
I see your love light.
We'll have a beautiful time.
All night.
I think about you; you're so fine.
It just might work out
If I treat you right.
I want to keep you close to the heart.
What can I say? Hey, hey.
So I know, you will never ever, never go far.
Cause I can feel if it's real.
Though your friends say they still doubt me
They don't know of the you I see.
And I don't know how to do you wrong.
I just know what I know and what I know is. . .
You and everyone in the world can see
That I'm for real, honey.
I don't know how to fool your heart.
We don't play any games, my girl and I
We get by on the high of love
And there's no time to spend on doubt or wondering
'Cause no one else could I ever love
You see the world outside can be cold and very lonely
And it gets real bad
And it makes me sad, but
Whether or not the world gets better
You and I and love will be together, together
Whether or not the world gets better
You and I will truly survive
And it's all because our love will never die
Never ever die
We all live in a crazy world today
There's so much beauty and yet there's so much pain
And we'd be wiser to make a change, with love we could
It's our world, we should make it good
And if the world outside gets too cold and feels too lonely
And it gets real bad
It'll still make us sad
Whether or not the world gets better
You and I and love will be together, together
Whether or not the world gets better
You and I will truly survive
And it's all because our love will never die
Never ever die
Our love is out world
And it keeps us safely from anything outside that could hurt us
We look out from inside
And depending on what we see
We just hold each other tightly, hold me tightly
'Cause sometimes it's just better to let it be
Whether or not the world gets better
You and I and love will be together, together
Whether or not the world gets better
You and I will truly survive
And it's all because our love will never die
No one knows the side of you that I know
No one gets to see, to feel you
To hear you when they call
I'm the only one you answer
Because I know what to do
I know what to do
When I need you
I just close my eyes and I'm with you
And all that I so want to give you
Is only a heartbeat away
When I need love
I hold out my hand and I touch love
I never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night and day
Miles and miles of empty space in between us
A telephone can't take the place of your smile
But I won't be traveling forever
It's cold out, but hold out
And do like I do
When I need you
I just close my eyes and I'm with you
And all that I so want to give you
Is only a heartbeat away
It's not easy when the road is your driver
But honey that's the heavy load that we bear
But I won't be traveling a lifetime
It's cold out, but hold out
And do like I do
When I need you
But I won't be traveling a lifetime
It's cold out, oh honey, hold out
And do like I do
When I need you
I just close my eyes and I'm with you baby
And all that I so want to give you
Is only a heartbeat away
When I need love
I hold out my hand and I touch love
I never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night and day
Honey, when I need you
I'm in a cloud and I'm holding my hand out to you
Holding my hand out to you
Girl, come on over here and get under this mistletoe with me
I'm not getting under that mistletoe with you anymore
Why not?
'Cause you don't know how to act when you get under there
What are you talking about?
You know what I'm talking about
What?
The last time I got under that thing with you
What happened?
The last time I got under there with you, I had twins
Ooh, tell it all
I sure like to party, deep into the night
I sure love the music, it sounds so nice
But was it my imagination
When I heard the song I heard
The DJ played this one jam
That makes you wanna kiss somebody
This is the mistletoe jam
I like to party all night
And dance to the mistletoe jam
(The mistletoe jam)
Everybody kiss somebody
Glad I got big feet
'Cause they're so good for dancing
Glad you got big legs
'Cause they're so good when we're romancing
You still got the flavor
And I'm hungry for your love
So I'm gonna play this one jam
That'll make you wanna kiss somebody
This is the mistletoe jam
I like to party all night
And dance to the mistletoe jam
(The mistletoe jam)
Everybody kiss somebody
This is the mistletoe jam
I like to do it all night
And dance to the mistletoe jam
(The mistletoe jam)
Everybody kiss somebody
Jam, jam, jam
Everybody kiss somebody
The mistletoe jam
Everybody kiss somebody
This is the mistletoe jam
I like to party all night
And dance to the mistletoe jam
(The mistletoe jam)
Everybody kiss somebody
This is the mistletoe jam
I like to do it all night
And dance to the mistletoe jam
(The mistletoe jam)
Everybody kiss somebody
This is the mistletoe jam
I like to party all night
And dance to the mistletoe jam
(The mistletoe jam)
Everybody kiss somebody
This is the mistletoe jam
I like to do it all night
And dance to the mistletoe jam
(The mistletoe jam)
So close to paradise, but closer than I should be
It’s like I’m along for the ride, it happened unexpectedly
Promised myself that I wouldn’t ever love again
But you make me feel something, my mind’s always on you
I was standing in the rain (I thought about you)
I was riding on the train (I thought about you)
Feeling high like I seem to do
Every time I think about you
Saw two lovers start to kiss (I thought about you)
Had to hold back the tears (I thought about you)
Other girls no more exist
All because I think about you
Nothing seems to help, I don’t even know myself
I’m trying not to think of you, but a heart does what it wants to do
Pass you by, see you smile and I must admit I get
So emotional, I think I’m falling for you
Bought a pillow for my room (I thought about you)
Heard Alicia sing a tune (I thought about you)
It sends my rocket to the moon
Every time I think about you
Right from this heart of mine (I thought about you)
I wanted you every time (I thought about you)
What I feel is so divine
And it’s all because I think about you
But I’m constantly reminded
Reminded that you’re only someone who I’d like to know
You don’t know me, you’re my private fantasy
You’re with me, constantly in my mind
Had a lovely day today (I thought about you)
Wasn’t hard to get through (I thought about you)
Seems to happen easily
Every time I think about you
Took a walk with myself (I thought about you)
Wish it could’ve been with you (I thought about you)
But every star in the sky came out for me
Oh, what happened?
You know when love comes
It seems you're never ready
That's why they call it the rush
Running right through my head
[Incomprehensible]
(The rush)
Tell me, tell me are you there?
Could it be that you're the answer to my prayer?
See, I've prayed for peace and love like so many of us do
Then I prayed to find someone like you, yeah
Up in the morning, fell out of my bed
Worn out, I couldn't sleep
Thoughts of you filled my head
How could it be, this is scaring me
(The rush)
It seems every time I try to rest my heart is when
The rush is back again
Maybe this time I'll make it work somehow
Guess, I'm gonna find out now
I get a rush and it's love for sure
What else can it be? Something beckons me and I go back for more
Oh, such a rush, running right through my head, can't pass love by
What else can I do? Something tells me to give it one more try, yeah
I'm not gonna die if love passes me by
It goes and comes around, I know
So maybe the next time, I'll be one of the few
Chosen by love to do just what I wanna do
I will carry on wading through every day 'til love needs me
Waiting for the rush to come and find me
I can forget back when love was an angel sent
It will be back again
I don't remember when, I can't remember how
It's very different now
It ain't a fantasy, it's very real to me
True to the touch, I get a rush
I get a rush and it's love for sure
What else can it be? Something's calling me and I go back for more
Yeah yeah
Yeah, yeah
Here it is
She caught me by surprised I must say
Cause I never have seen such a pretty face
With such a warm and beautiful smile
It wasn't hard for me to notice her style
I was fascinated, surely
She took my heart and held it for me
I wouldn't let her get away
Not until she heard me say
- Excuse me miss
But what's your name
Where are you from and can I come
And possibly, can I take you out tonight
To a movie, to the park
I'll have you home before it's dark
So let me know, can I take you out tonight
Don't care if I get rejected
At least then I won't regret it
Regret the fact I missed the chance for romance
At least I'll walk away knowing
I tried my best and I'm going
I'm going on with my day
Cause at least she heard me say
That's why I had to come over
And introduce myself to you
Cause you're never gonna know
Where you'll find love, oh yeah
I'm an ever rolling wheel
Without a destination real
And I'm an ever spinning top
Whirling around 'till I drop
- Oh, but what am I to do
My mind is in a whirlpool
Give me a little hope
One small thing to cling to
- You got me going in circles
Oh, around and around I go
Going in circles
Oh, around and around I go
I'm strung out over you
I'm a faceless clock
With timeless hopes that never stop
When I feel that way
You know my soul's at stake
I'm strung out over you( I need you baby)
Uuh, I need (I need you baby)
Call me (I need you baby)
I need baby, my baby, my baby
Hit the town in the cold of the night
Looking ?round for the warmth of the light
There was fog on the road
So I guess no one saw me arriving
I was tired and awake for some time
Then my lights hit a welcoming sign
It said if you're alone
You can make this your home
If you want to, oww
Searching, searching
(For so long)
Searching
(Searching)
Searching, searching
(I just wanted to dance)
Searching
Stepped outta the night
It was brighter inside
Someone come and asked me my name
Taken back by surprise
When I saw with my eyes
A girl in a love's disguise
She said stop, stop, stop
Get out your heart
Haven't got a lot
But play the part
Mister, stop, stop, stop
Get out your heart
What I've got's hot stuff
The night is ours
Coffee glass that had fell from my hand
Like a child couldn't quite understand
What was I doin? there
Far away from nowhere, on my own
I was tired and awake for some time
Just the light playing tricks with my mind
Was she there in a crowd
Was the music too loud, was I dreaming
Searching, searching
(For so long)
Searching
(I don't want romance)
(I just want my chance, searching)
Searching, searching
(Yeah)
Searching
Just came by here by chance
Only wanted to dance
No news, no her, no, no, no one
Taken back by surprise
What's in front of my eyes
This girl in a love's disguise
She said stop, stop, stop
Get out your heart
Haven't got a lot
But play the part
Mister, stop, stop, stop
Get out your heart
What I've got's hot stuff
It's about to be on
It's about to be on

Dancing underneath the party light
When I see you working that body right
One day I was cryin'
'Cause I thought that
Love was something that would
Never come my way, no way
That's when somebody told me not to worry
They said love would surely one day be my friend
And I would never have to be without it again
And it's because
Once you know how, you just never forget how to
It may seem kinda crazy but it's a shown off thing
Been tested and found true
Once you know how, you just never forget how to love
I'm in love, I'm in love
Yes, I am in love
I can love, I can love
Ooh, yeah, yeah
Don't you know that
Once you know how, you just never forget how to
It may seem kinda crazy but it's a shown off thing
Been tested and found true
Once you know how, you just never forget how to love
Once you know how, you just never forget how to
It may seem kinda crazy but it's a shown off thing
Been tested and found true
Once you know how, you just never forget
Once you know how, you just never forget how to
It may seem kinda crazy but it's a shown off thing
Been tested and found true
Once you know how, you just never forget how to love
To love, they say, they say
Once you know how you just never forget
If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get the same old stuff
Life can treat you good, then turn as cold as ice
And believe me when I tell you
This thing called love, for sure, is like most things in life
Not all bad, not all good (it’s just something that I believe)
Not all cold, not all hot (yeah, I like that)
Not all bitter, not all sweet (sounds all right to me)
So don’t miss all the good, waiting for the best, there’s still happiness
Right in the middle
Perfect love sounds real nice
But that never seemed to happen with any relationship of mine
It was always up and down, in then out
And after the last goodbye, I still didn’t know what it was all about
You get disappointed if it ain’t bliss all the time
And you get so annoyed if you can’t feel the same every night
Not all bad, not all good (I’m tryin’ to tell you that it’s)
Not all high, not all low (not all high and not all low)
Not all heaven, not all hell (as far as I can tell)
It’s not some prize you win, you don’t have a thing to prove, just enjoy the groove
Right in the middle
‘Cause I’ve learned when it comes to love, it’s the exact same reality
That’s why they say ”Que sera, sera”
Which means whatever’s gonna be is gonna be
Whatever’s gonna be is gonna be…
Not all bad, not all good (I need somebody to understand)
Not all sunshine, not all rain
(you know that too much of a good thing is really no good)
Not all laughter, not all tears (I’m only trying to tell you)
To let your good times roll, keep your self-control, there’s a lotta soul
It was early Sunday morning
Everyone in the house was still asleep
She made some toast and coffee
Took a shower and made herself smell sweet
She said, "I don't want a bus ride,
I believe that the walk might help me think
Got a heart kind of heavy
I need some big hat and gloves, shoes and bag religion!"
Religion
That's my decision
Some of that "make me feel better when I shout!!!" religion
That's my decision
Papa Henry was full of spice
He was a man usually nice
But something got into him last night
Made him want to fuss and hollar
The entire house was in a sweat
His bottle got broken and the floor got wet
"Clean it up!" you could hear him scream
Then he said, "I'm going out"
I need religion
Religion
That's my decision
Some of that "raise up the roof, 90 proof" religion
That's my decision
Religion
It's my decision, oh yes it is
That's my decision
It's the story about a good family
Who doesn't live anymore in good harmony
They are people who love their daughter and son
They try to give them religion
Little Billy likes his best friend Jack
How in the world could he be like that
Mama and Henry wanna have that chat
Boy, you need religion
Little Betty, whatcha gonna do?
There's a child growing inside of you
You should've stopped and thought things through
Little girl you need a vision of religion
Religion
And that's my decision
Some of that "how'd I get on Rikki Lake" religion
That's my decision
Religion
Get a little,
Religion
Get a little
When I say goodbye it is never for long
'Cause I know our love still lives on
It will be again exactly like it was
'Cause I believe in the power of love
When you're close I can feel the power
When it's love I can always tell
Love for me is the best thing now
It's something that I know so well
Hold me closer and every minute
Of every hour, feel the power of love, yeah
Hold me tighter and take me higher
And feel the fire of the power of love
Did you know that your feelings show
You thought your love was locked up inside
But when your senses start to overload
Love is something you should never hide
You've got to believe in love
It's a feeling that's next to none
Can't stop until we are one
With the power of love
Tell everyone to try
I promise you'll reach the sky
One thing that we can't deny
Is the power of love
So close your eyes and you can feel it
Comin' straight from above, it's the power of love
You can't deny it, so don't even try it
Let the feelin' sweep you off your feet
You've got to believe in love
It's a feeling that's next to none
Can't stop until we are one
With the power of love
Tell everyone you see
How much better the world could be
For them and for you, for me
With the power of love
Ooh, ooh, ooh
My-my-my-my-my-my
You've got to feel the power
Yeah, yeah
So listen up and you will hear it
A symphony from above, it's the power of love
So glad we've found it, now there's no way around it
Just let the feeling sweep you off your feet
You've got to believe in love
It's a feeling that's next to none
Can't stop until we are one
With the power of love
Tell everyone to try
I promise you'll reach the sky
One thing that you can't deny
Is the power of love
When we walk down the street
We don't care who we see or who we meet
Don't need to run, don't need to hide
'Cause we've got something burning inside, yeah
We've got love power
It's the greatest power of them all, ooh...ooh...
We've got love power
And together we can't fall, sing it with
We've got love (Love) power (Power)
It's the greatest power of them all
Oh, we've got love (Love) power (Power)
And together we can't fall, and all the good
(We've got love) Ooh, we've got love (Power), yes, we do
(It's the greatest power of them all)
(We've got love) Love-love-love (Power)
(And together we can't fall) We'll never fall if we've got
(We've got love) If we've got love (Power)
(It's the greatest power of them all)
(We've got love) Tell the world we got love (Power) tell the people about it
(And together we can't fall) And it's all because we've got, we've got
We've got love (Love) power (Power)
Oh, it's the greatest power of them all and if you believe me
We've got more love (Love) power (Power)
And together we can't fall, I know, can't fall
We can't fall (Love) when there's a love power (Power)
You talk about me as if I'm not there
You don't even whisper cuz you just don't care
I stand there and listen to my life go by
And at times I wonder why I even try
Well I try because I like to finish what I start
And I have faith it can get better tomorrow
But it won't if you keep treating me
Like I'm invisible
- Say that you won't treat me
The way you're treating me
Say that you won't
I see you but you just keep looking right through me
Like someone you don't even see
Like I'm invisible
You brag to your friends how much I must want ya
You said I was someone you could do with or without
You're so confident that I'd never leave you
No wonder you're surprised that I am walking out
Well, I have to leave no matter how sad it might be
Because this hurt's become my reality
And I won't let you keep on treating me
Like I'm invisible
Well I finally got the nerve to move on
Cuz a fly kind of guy like me
Surely deserves more, much more
My new love can see what's inside of me
And she told me to thank you
For the good love that you blew, and oh
I wish you could see the way she looks at me
She don't keep me insecure or treat me lovelessly
She don't hide me from her friends when we have company
And she never ever makes me feel
Like I'm invisible
And after we lay here, she wants me to stay here
I'm not just for making love then expected to leave
I'm not only someone used for helping her ends meet
And she'd never ever walk on by me
Like I'm invisible
Ay, love don't love you
Hey, love, ah ha
Time rushes on
And it's not fair
When someone you used to love
Is no longer there
But I think it's time you know
See love is a society
Any fool can not belong
Cuz the minute you hurt love
Then it's over and done
Love don't love you anymore
No more, shoulda never done wrong
Love don't love you anymore
No, no
Love is a ride, up and down, yeah
You did what you did to love
And I betcha know now
Cuz there's no one else around
And now you're running back to me
To forgive you your mistake
Kinda makes me sad to say but
It's a little too late
Love don't love you anymore
No more, no more, no more, no more
Love don't love you anymore
And oh love, ooo, love
Love, love's not coming home
Ain't it hard to believe
Baby, baby, baby
Love, love's not coming home, hey
It seems to be that
You're the one
The one who did bad things to love
It's sad to see, so sad to tell
But now we'll never hear the bells
Love sure don't love you
Love sure don't want you
Love sure don't love you
Anymore, anymore
And it's a shame
Love sure don't love you
No it don't
Love sure don't want you
I know, I know
Love sure don't love you
Anymore, anymore
Love don't love you anymore
Love sure don't love you anymore, anymore
Love don't love you baby
Love, love you anymore
Love sure don't love you anymore, anymore
It's a shame that
Love don't love you baby
Love don't love you honey
Ain't it hard to believe
No, no, no, no
Love don't love you baby
LET ME HOLD YOU TIGHT
IF ONLY FOR ONE NIGHT
LET ME KEEP YOU NEAR
TO EASE AWAY YOUR FEAR
IT WOULD BE SO NICE
IF ONLY FOR ONE NIGHT
I WON'T TELL A SOUL
NO ONE HAS TO KNOW
IF YOU WANT TO BE TOTALLY DISCREET
I'LL BE AT YOUR SIDE
IF ONLY FOR ONE NIGHT
YOUR EYES SAY THINGS I NEVER HEAR FROM YOU
AND MY KNEES ARE SHAKIN TOO
BUT I'M WILLIN TO GO THRU
I MUST BE CRAZY
STANDIN IN THIS PLACE
BUT I'M FEELING NO DISGRACE

WARMS UP TO THE SUN
IT WOULD BE SO NICE IF ONLY FOR ONE NIGHT
IF ONLY FOR ONE NIGHT
IF ONLY FOR ONE NIGHT
iF ONLY FOR ONE NIGHT, NIGHT, NIGHT, YEAH ONE NIGHT
They may say that we're the best thing that could be
They say it to you and they say it to me
But to each other they're insistin', something must be missin'
Things can't really be the way they seem to be
They don't know love the way we do
They've never loved someone like you
Lady, lady, I never let them talk about you
Lady, lady, 'cause you're mine
Lady, lady, I jump up when they talk about you
But so what? I'm gonna be your guy
You can never win once that stuff begins
'Cause when it starts, its just never ends
People start rumors about you, say those things about you
But I won't ever doubt you, you're my best friend
Let them be how they wanna be
They can't stop you from loving me
Lady, lady, I never let them talk about you
Lady, lady, 'cause you're mine
Lady, lady, I jump up when they talk about you
But so what? I'm gonna be your guy
So you see, I don't care what they say
I don't care what they do
I'm the one who loves you
I'm the one you need, I'm the one
A symphony plays when you are near
And I love the music that I hear
Lady, lady, I never let them talk about you
Lady, lady, 'cause you're mine
Lady, lady, I jump up when they talk about you
Another sad day, another lonely day
For all we know some people only cry
They have no good times, no poetry rhymes
They don't know how or when or if or why
Why the goodness never stays
Or why love didn't come again today
Isn't there someone who knows they're in trouble
Isn't there someone who sees
I'll be the someone who cares that you're dying for love
I can be the someone that you need
I know you dream at night and lay your feelings down
And you wish your life could be more like your dreams
What a moonlit sound, your voice is not too loud
But somehow I hear it coming through to me
I pray you hang on to your dream
And I hope it gives you all the love you need
You need
Isn't there someone who knows that you're hurting
Is there someone to believe
Well, I'll be the someone who cares that you're dying for love
I can be the someone that you need
Don't you miss love, I know I often do
That's why I'm pulling you closer to me
But like anything you can't see
It's just a little harder to believe
Isn't there someone who loves you completely
Isn't there someone like me
Well, I'll be the someone who cares that you're dying for love
I can be the someone that you need
I coulda died when I found out
We couldn’t live together peacefully
That’s when it started and we nearly parted
Well, I was hoping not to see the day
We started getting in each other’s way
Maybe it’s better we don’t live together
Things got strange
My space to chill become half the size
You became someone
I didn’t even recognize
What’s the matter now
What are you talking about
If it ain’t one thing, it’s another
If it ain’t one thing, it’s the other
Why you gotta put me down
What are you complaining about
If it ain’t one thing, it’s the other
If it ain’t one thing, it’s another
I got a yacht for a dinner cruise
The way you treated everyone was rude
I don’t believe ya, you’re such a diva
I told the waitress we wanted wine
You got upset because the girl was fine
You’re complicated, but somehow we make it
I get tired
From all I have to do to keep you satisfied
Get no sleep
You call me in the middle of the night and weep
What’s the matter now
What are you crying about
If it ain’t one thing, it’s another
If it ain’t one thing, it’s the other
Why you gotta fuss and shout
What are you screaming about
If it ain’t one thing, it’s the other
If it ain’t one thing, it’s another
I guess I can’t see the world through your eyes
Pretty little brown eyes
Guess I don’t understand
What goes on, goes on, goes on in your mind
What’s the matter now
What are you talking about
If it ain’t one thing, it’s another
If it ain’t one thing, it’s the other
Why you gotta put me down
What are you fussing about
If it ain’t one thing, it’s the other
If it ain’t one thing, it’s another
What’s the matter now
What are you talking about
If it ain’t one thing, it’s another
If it ain’t one thing, it’s the other
Why you gotta scream and shout
What are you complaining about
If it ain’t one thing, it’s the other
I, I who have nothing
I, I who have no one
Adore you, and want you so
I'm just a no one
With nothing to give you
But ooh, I love you
She, she buys you diamonds
Say they're bright, they are bright sparkling diamonds
But believe me, boy, ooo boy, hear what I say
She could give you the world
But she'll never love you the way
That I love you, baby
You can go any place you want
To fancy clubs and restaurants
But I can only watch you with her
My nose pressed up against the window pane
The window pane
Ooo yeah, yeah
Who have nothing
Nothing
Who have no one
Must watch you
I will watch you, baby
Go passing by
But you don't see me
Wrapped in the arms of
Wrapped in the arms of somebody else
When darling, it's I
Really loves you, baby
Really loves you, baby
I'm the one
I'm the one, I'm the one
I want to be the one that you just can't live without
I want to be the one that you never feel no doubt
I want to be the one that you let give you the lovin'
But, I have nothing
Nothing
I want to be the one that you always want to be near
I want to say the words that your body and soul need to hear
I want to be the one that you let give you all the lovin'
But I have nothing
I want to be the one that you always want to be near
I want to say the words that your body and soul need to hear
I want to be the one that you let give you all the lovin'
If only I could read your mind
I could heal your broken heart
I could mend you when your falling apart
I wanna love you, I wanna care
But there's not a thing that I can do
Not until you say that you want me there
And that you want me to love you forever
I know it's what you want
Though it's easy to say that you don't
I know you want to, girl, I know you want to
I am not ashamed to say to you, you're all I've ever wanted
I know you want to, girl, I know you want to
So turn around come to me now
Is it worth it all if there's no love?
Love, no no no no no, love
I hear your heartbeat, I feel you shiver
And in the stillness of the night
I can hear the angels saying to me
She wants to love you, she wants to care
But she's so afraid of a broken heart
She's afraid to all, will someone be there?
Well, I'll pick you up and who could [Incomprehensible]
I know it's what you want
Though you constantly say that you don't
I know you want to, girl, I know you want to
I am not ashamed to say to you you're all I ever wanted
I know you want to, girl, I know you want to
So turn around come to me now
Is it worth it all if there's no love?
Do you spend every moment trying to hide out
From the way you know you truly feel
And is it really real? You know
How can you keep denying that you really love me
You can try to fool somebody else but your lying to yourself
I know you want to, girl, I know you want to
I am not ashamed to say to you, you're all I've ever wanted
I know you want to, girl, I know you want to
So turn around come to me now
Is it worth it all if there's no love?[Incomprehensible]
(You're all I've ever wanted)
I know you want to, girl, I know you want to
So turn around come to me now
Is it worth it all if there's no love?
(No love, no love)
I'm only human baby
Ain't I allowed to make mistakes
You put your guilt on me
And it's causing my poor heart to break, yeah
Making me the human that I am
Won't you forgive me baby
I'm only human baby
Won't you forgive me for that?
Won't you forgive me baby
I'm only human baby
Won't you forgive me for that?
Your love can be so strong
It makes it hard to give some back
So I try and I try and I give and I give
And I get so darn excited I can't relax
Making me the human that I am
When we search for love
We must be lucky, baby
And it's because there are many people in the world
Who think love is not that necessary
I had you and I blew it all
And now I know for sure
I must be lucky baby
You chose me out of all the people in the world
And I think love is very necessary
You've forgiven me after all
Cuz I let you know
Just like you, my love
Just like you, my baby
Just like you, my love
Just like you, my baby
I stood in line at the corner store
And I heard these guys talk about this girl
Hey, who gives them love anytime they want, huh
Then they said your name and how you carry on
Your chain of fools is so long
I thought our love was still on
And so, oh what a fool I've been
I thought I was your man and oh
I wonder who's there loving you
No one does you the way I do
I wonder who, who's there loving you
And I really wonder who
(It's been so long)
Since you've called me, yeah
(I thought our love was strong)
Just the way a love should be
(And now that you're gone)
I sit here and I wonder
I've seen so many guys
Take one look into your eyes
And think they're in paradise
There was less than love in the things that woman said
Now, I wonder who put ideas in her head
I'm still in shock 'cause when I went back there again
She'd changed her lock and said, sorry you can't come in
What a fool I've been lookout, I thought I was your man and
I wonder who's there loving you
No one does you the way I do
I wonder who, who's there loving you
And I really wonder who
(It's been so long)
Since you've called me, yeah
(I thought our love was strong)
Just the way a love should be
(And now that you've gone)
I sit here and wonder
I've seen so many guys
Take that look into your eyes
And think they're in paradise
I wonder who's there loving you
No one does you the way I do
I wonder who, who's there loving you
And I really wonder who
(It's been so long)
Since you've called me, yeah
(I thought our love was strong)
Just the way a love should be
(And now that you've gone)
I sit here and wonder
I don't wanna be in love if you don't love me
And I love you so, I betcha that you don't know
And I wonder who, I wonder, I wonder
And I wonder who that you got loving you
And I wonder why you're with some other guy
And I wonder who, I wonder, I wonder
Don't wanna be a fool for no one, you see
And I want you so, I bet you don't even know
Oh yeah, oh
Oh yeah
What good is the money
When lately we've been missing each other
Cuz we've got work and kids, you know how it goes
Monday through Friday, 9 to 5
We spend most of the time chasing that dough
But not tonight, we're gonna both get fly
Call your momma, tell her come over
So we can have quality time
Cuz it's been too long since I held you in my arms
I can't wait no more, I'm ready to oooo

Steppin' out with you

Girl put that "celly" down
Don't even peek at your pager now
Just chill, relax, the kids will be cool
Grab two more Cosmos, we ain't thinkin' about tomorrow
We're in a club full of people
But it feels just like me and you
My baby's looking hot tonight
Catching everybody's eye
Look at them starin', but I ain't carin'
Cuz I know you're mine
We should do this more often
Got a fella feelin' kinda flossy
I can't wait to make your body go ooh, ooh, ooh
(You know how it goes)
(Keep chasin' that dough)
I'll ring the bell like I used to do
Hold the door for you, let you through
Take your hand and talk to you
Make you know you're my star
I'm gonna woo ya (yeah yeah)
Say pretty words to ya (yeah yeah)
Send chills right through ya (oh yeah)
One look in your eyes and there I see
Just what you mean to me
Here in my heart I believe
Your love is all I'll ever need
Holdin' you close through the night
I need you, yeah
I look in your eyes and there I see
What happiness really means
The love that we share makes life so sweet
Together we'll always be
This pledge of love feels so right
And, ooh, I need you

You're all I need
Here and now

Morning
Some of y'all may think
That this next track
A little risky for a Luther joint
But all you gotta do is listen to get it
Get it right
Alright, ch'all, lets start from number one
And get down till it's done
Now watch this sketch as I stretch this mall
Too live to drive so we put it in park
With Luther hoping that you feeling his groove
Get you open on the instruments too, one two, one two
And I say, jottin' down the lines
Like dots on the Parkway
My Auntie Eloise say stay on your Q's and P's
And until the days of D's, I'm doin' what I please
Ease on down like the road
Depending on the mood, definitely into more
And you can catch a yellow brick
You need to run and tell your click
That the female in town is bringing it
Now listen, Mission Impossible
Keep it general like the hospital
Shake, rattle and roll, to rock wit' chu
The Pre to the C-I-S-E do
Let's get this thing to workin'
There's no reason to wait
The time is now to start it
We all could use the change
- Do it till we get it, get it right
Till we get it
Ain't no doubt, "Cise" is gonna turn it out
Do it till we get
Stay with it and get it right
Do it till we get it
Never stop, Luther take it to the top
Do it till we get it
Take the time and get it right
Get all up in your back and down your spine
Got to keep it on track like the A train line
To the junction out in Brooklyn
What's your function
Keep you lookin' once again
As I punch in those lines like the SV-1200
Precise on the mic, you
But we gon' get top shot at the party
Started rockin'
And I got first dibs on the dark skinned kid
And I know just how to do it
To make it really nice
There's no mystery to it
Do it till you get it right
- Feels so good to get it
Get it
It's so good to get it
Get it, get it right
Feels so good to get it
Get it
It's so good to get it
Get it, get it right
And oh, don't give up now
We can make it, we can take it right to the top
Come on and never stop
Oh, and let's reach for the sky
And if we keep believing we can never go too high
Why don't we give it a try
Come on and keep reaching up
And don't you worry
No, you won't use up your stuff
No way to get enough
Do it till we get it right
And even if it takes from morning till way into night
We got to
Till we get it
Ain't no doubt, "Cise" is gonna turn it out
Do it till we get it
Stay with it and get it right
Never stop, Luther take ya to the tpo
Do it till we get it
Take the time and get it right
How y'all feeling tonight
Better hold on tight
Throw your hands in the air If you're getting it right
What we got you'll like
But it's not quite the regular jam
Luther and Precise
How y'all feeling tonight
Better hold on tight
Throw your hands in the air if you're getting it right
What we got you'll like
But it's not quite your regular jam
Love, soft as an easy chair
Love, fresh as the mornin' air
One love that is shared by two
I have found with you
Like a rose under the April snow
I was always certain love would grow
And yeah love
Ageless and evergreen
Seldom seen by two
So you and I will make each night a first
Everyday a beginning, yeah
Sprits rise and they're dancin' unrehearsed
They warm and excite us, yeah yeah yeah
'Cause we have the brightest love
Woh oh oh, two lights, two lights that shine as one, yeah
Morning glory and a midnight sun
Time we learned to sail above
Time the world changed the meanin' of, no no
Ooh one love
Ageless and ever
My love
There's only you in my life
The only thing that's right
Oh yeah
My first love (yeah)
You're every breath that I take
You're every step I make
(Oh)
And I
(And I)
I want to share
All my love with you, hey yeah
No-one else will do (mh)
And your eyes (your eyes, your eyes)
They tell me how much you care
Oh, yes
You will always be
My endless love
Oh yeah
Two hearts
Two hearts that beat as one
Our lives have just begun
And forever (forever)
I'll hold you close in my arms
I can't resist your charms
No no no no (no no no)
And I
(And I)
I'd be a fool
For you, I'm sure
You know I don't mind (no, you know I don't mind)
'Cause baby you (baby, baby, baby, baby)
You mean the world to me, yeah
I know I've found in you
My endless love
Yeah (yeah)
Do do, do dooo, do do do
Whooooa
And I
I'd play the fool
For you, (for you baby) I'm sure
You know I don't mind (you know I don't mind)
Oh, yes
You'd be the only one
'Cause no-one can't deny
This love I have inside
And I'll give it all to you
My love (my love, my love)
My my my
My endless love
Tears on your pillow, that's evidence
Crying all night, it don't make no sense
Never know what to do so the tears come out
I used to wonder what this thing was all about
You're so sensitive, so willing to give
Girl, you're just a cutie, yeah, yeah
But everything hits your tender spot
I think, I see just what you've got
Emotion eyes, see what they wanna see
They just won't let it be
There's always something goin' on
Emotion eyes, can't seem to be without
Something to cry about
They just get so emotional
My, oh, mercy me, just what do you see
Nothing stops those tears from coming, coming down
What's the matter child? Don't you ever smile?
Watching you is really something
That's why I'm falling for your love
You don't need to struggle with your badness
'Cause you're the baddest girl there'll ever be
You've got to learn to compromise
You've got to dry your weeping eyes
Watch what you see with those
Emotion eyes, see what they wanna see
They just won't let it be
There's always something goin' on
Emotion eyes, can't seem to be without
Something to cry about
They just get so emotional
You know I'm falling for your love
You don't need to struggle with your badness
You're just the baddest girl there'll ever be
You've got to learn to compromise
You've got to dry your weeping eyes
And watch what you do with those
Emotion eyes, see what they wanna see
They just won't let it be
There's always something goin' on
Emotion eyes, can't never be without
Something to cry about
They just get so emotional
Emotion eyes, see what they wanna see
They just won't let it be
There's always something goin' on
Emotion eyes, don't seem to be without
Something to cry about
They just get so emotional
I wanna see, let it be
I, be without, cry about
I wanna see, let it be
I, be without, cry about
I wanna see, let it be
I, be without, cry about
I'm standing on your doorstep
And I don't know what to do
Should I ring your doorbell or just walk away
My friends all say that you were never true
I'm hiding in the shadows
I hear the music coming out of your radio
Are you there with another guy instead of me
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I hear the laughter and there's something I've got to know
Are you there with another guy instead of me
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I only know I love you and I couldn't say goodbye
So if there's another, I don't want to know
If you should go, I would surely die
I'm hiding in the shadows
And I see two silhouettes in back of your window shade
Are you there with another guy when I am gone
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I can't believe you'd break the promises that you made
If you're there with another guy, I can't go on, oh no
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
You would never leave me, hurt me or deceive me
I'm a fool to doubt you, worry so about you
Love requires faith, I've got a lot of faith but
(I hear the music coming out of your radio)
I only know I love you, and I couldn't say goodbye
So if there's another, I don't want to know
If you should go, I would surely die
I'm hiding in the shadows
Yeah, (In the shadows)
Really plotting, hiding in the shadows
I'm hiding in the shadows, yeah
(Umm pah pah, pity the girl)
Pity, pity
(Umm pah pah, pity the girl)
Umm pah pitty
(Umm pah pah, pity the girl)
Umm pah pah, pity pity
(Umm pah pah, pity the girl)
I hear the music coming out of your radio
Are you there with another guy instead of me
Oh no, don't tell me (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
No I can't believe it
I hear your laughter and there's something I've got to know
Are you there with another guy instead of me
Please don't say (Yeah, yeah yeah)
(It's a pity)
I hear the music coming out of your radio
(Umm pah pah, pity the girl)
(Umm pah pah, pity the girl)
(Umm pah pah, pity the girl)
No, I can't believe it
I hear the laughter and there's something I got to know
(Umm pah pah, pity the girl)
(Umm pah pah, pity the girl)
(Umm pah pah, pity the girl)
Yeah baby
Without my love, I pity the girl
(Umm pah pah, pity the girl)
(Umm pah pah, pity the girl)
Your radio
(Umm pah pah, pity the girl)
Oh yeah, yeah
Umm pah pah, pity the girl
(Umm pah pah, pity the girl)
Your love’s never been better
So good it’s a sin
But it’s time for a decision
Is it me or him?
Before you make your mind up, hear me
I just want you to see things clearly
This should be about love, not money
Don’t let him try to take you from me
I don’t wanna have to apologize
I don’t wanna feel I’ve been penalized
Just ‘cause I can drive in a better car
Live in a bigger house just like a superstar
He says that I can only give you
Material things, but that’s not true
You see my heart is rich with love for you
Don’t let him make you doubt my love for you
Yeah, baby
I work hard for my money
No one gave it to me
But some fools think the deeper the pocket
The smaller the heart will be, not true
I’m only tryin’ to share me with you
Look at all the lovin’ we do
Find the meaning in the words I’m sayin’
I’m not just another player playin’
I don’t wanna have to apologize (or give a damn)
And I don’t appreciate being criticized (for who I am)
Just ‘cause I can buy you a lotta things
Or take you anyplace
That’s just what money brings
He wants you to believe that I’m tryin’ to buy your love
‘Cause that’s what he would do
He thinks since he’s a man with nothing
That he’s got better love for you
No way
Tell him now, let him go
Or I can no longer be yours
Tell him how you feel about me
I can’t keep standing on the side
Don’t let him fill your mind with lies about me
Leave him with his fallacies
I don’t care what bull he believes
Tell him that enough is enough
Just don’t return a disbeliever
You’ve always been a willing receiver of my love
I don’t think I have to apologize (I work for this)
I don’t wanna feel like I’m penalized (for being rich)
Doesn’t bother me where he thinks I stand
I’m bein’ my true self
Just doin’ what I can
He thinks I won you with materiality
But honey, you know that’s not so
And even if he understood me
It’s simply time for him to go---so let him go!
I don’t wanna change you
‘cause I’m in love with who you are
So I don’t wanna apologize for bein’ a superstar
Haven’t I proved that I’m here for you?
What am I guilty of?
What did or didn’t I do?
Maybe I can’t be myself with somebody
Who believes such things are true
I’m losing self-respect from trying
I’m losing my desire too---I can’t do it
I don’t wanna have to apologize (or give a damn)
I don’t wanna feel I’ve been penalized (for who I am)
Just ‘cause I can buy you a lotta things
Or take you anyplace
That’s just what money brings
He wants you to believe that I’m tryin’ to buy your love
Lyrics to Anyone Who Had A Heart
Anyone who ever loved could look at me
And know that I love you
Anyone who ever dreamed could look at me
And know I dream of you
Knowing I love you so
Anyone who had a heart
Would take me in her arms and love me too
You couldn't really have a heart
And hurt me like you hurt me and be so untrue
What am I to do
Every time you go away, I always say
This time it's goodbye, dear
Loving you the way I do, I take you back
Without you I'd die, dear
Knowing I love you so
Anyone who had a heart
Would take me in her arms and love me too
You couldn't really have a heart
And hurt me like you hurt me and be so untrue
What am I to do
Knowing I love you so
Anyone who had a heart
Would take me in her arms and love me too
You couldn't really have a heart
And hurt me like you hurt me and be so untrue
Anyone who had a heart
Would love me too
Anyone who had a heart
Would surely take me in her arms and always love me, why won't you
Anyone who had a heart
Would love me too
Anyone who had a heart
Would surely take me in her arms and always love me, why won't you, yeah
Anyone who had a heart
Would love me too
Anyone who had a heart
(Thanks to Spence for these lyrics)
Anyone who ever loved could look at me
And know that I love you
Anyone who ever dreamed could look at me
And know I dream of you
Knowing I love you so
Anyone who had a heart
Would take me in her arms and love me too
You couldn't really have a heart
And hurt me like you hurt me and be so untrue
What am I to do
Every time you go away, I always say
This time it's goodbye, dear
Loving you the way I do, I take you back
Without you I'd die, dear
Knowing I love you so
Anyone who had a heart
Would take me in her arms and love me too
You couldn't really have a heart
And hurt me like you hurt me and be so untrue
What am I to do
Knowing I love you so
Anyone who had a heart
Would take me in her arms and love me too
You couldn't really have a heart
And hurt me like you hurt me and be so untrue
Anyone who had a heart
Would love me too
Anyone who had a heart
Would surely take me in her arms and always love me, why won't you
Anyone who had a heart
Would love me too
Anyone who had a heart
Would surely take me in her arms and always love me, why won't you, yeah
Anyone who had a heart
Would love me too
Don't know what this could be
Could it be love taking a hold on me?
There's no pain, there's no doubt
For the first time there's nothing to cry about
She wears the stars in her eyes
And she looks and she sees into this heart
I could survive after any lover
Love could go wrong one way or another
But, this time I'm right; this time I know
This time I know that it's love 'til the end
Yesterday's over, I'm starting again
And, this time I'm right; this time I know it's love
Ain't no love like she gives
And she told me that I'm the reason she lives
Comes to me all the time
I'm not just making her up in my mind
I see the stars in her eyes
And I look and I know that she sees only mine
All of my life I've been waiting for this
This is the love that I don't wanna miss
'Cause, this time I'm right; this time I know
I'm a believer in love that's for real
I don't know much, but I know what I feel
And, this time I'm right; this time I know it's love
This is it, can't waste time
'Cause I know, the one is mine
Celebrate, can't slow down
It's of r sure, love's turning me around
I could survive after any lover
Love could go wrong one way or another
But, this time I'm right; this time I know
This time I know that it's love 'til the end
Yesterday's over, I'm starting again
And, this time I'm right; this time I know it's love
All of my life I've been waiting for this
This is the love that I don't wanna miss
'Cause, this time I'm right; this time I know
I'm a believer in love that's for real
I don't know much, but I know what I feel
Goodbye, so long
Were the last words from you
Seems like you’re over
All the goodness we knew
You think that you’re strong
You think that you don’t
You don’t need no one
Well, I was talkin’ to some of your friends
Just to see how everyone was doin’
And they said you needed me
Said it was something you’d never admit
But it was hard to see you going through it
They said you needed me
Guess I’ll suffer ‘til I’m where I belong
I’m under the pressure
But I’ll keep being strong
You say that you’re strong
You say that you don’t need anyone
What in the world are you telling your friends
I get confused every time I see them
They said you needed me
I know the people talk just for the thrill
But the fact of the matter is still
They said you needed me
Take your time, re-invent your mind
You’ll feel better, you’ll feel stronger
Then decide if I’m in your life
For forever or longer
You think that you’re strong
You think that you don’t
You don’t need no one
Well, I was talkin’ to some of your friends
Just to see how everyone was doin’
And they said you needed me
Said it was something you’d never admit
But it was hard to see you going through it
The closer I get to you
The more you make me see
By giving me all you've got
Your love has captured me
Over and over again
I try to tell myself that we
Could never be more than friends
And all the while inside
I knew it was real
The way you make me feel
Lying here next to you
Time just seems to fly
Needing you more and more
Let's give love a try
Sweeter than sweeter love grows
And heaven's there for those
Who fool the tricks of time
With hearts in love will find
True love
In a special way
The closer I get to you
The more you make me see
By giving me what you've got
Your love has captured me
Over and over again
I try to tell myself that we
Could never be more than friends
And all the while inside
I knew this was real (got to be real)
The way you make me feel (you know)
My baby, my baby, my baby, my love
Come a little closer so we can see into the eyes of love
Just a little a closer let me speak to you
I wanna tell you something
Here I am-- I just want you to come closer
Come a little closer let me whisper in your ear
‘Cause I wanna tell you something
Move a little a little closer we can say for real
Lately love, keeps keeping me waking up
Tossing and turning, my love
Wanna kiss, wanna hold you so tight
Ooh, but I wonder, love, whether you know or not?
When you just hurry away
Leaving me laying there in shock
I just wanna be the one that you wanna see
I just wanna have you near me
But you fly away almost everyday
You work a lot, you never stop to love
Stop, I love you, stop, stop
Come home from the road
Gotta stop to love
And let's celebrate
The love we got, stop
Say you're coming home
Gotta stop to love, yeah
You say, my love has always been
On your mind
But how can I ever love you
When you keep working overtime?
Too many empty nights
Could make almost any guy
To look for the love he don't get
Whenever he's alone at home
Awaiting the day, that you're coming to stay
I hate to see you go away but you couldn't rest
Had to be the best to reach the top
But you did not stop to love
Stop, I love you, stop
Stop, come home from the road
Gotta stop to love
And let's celebrate, celebrate
The love we got, stop
Say you're coming home
Gotta stop to love
And one day you'll discover
I'm the one who loves you
Gotta stop to love
No one does you better
Can't you stay forever?
Stop to love
I can hardly stand the loneliness
Come on stay, yeah
'Cause that's what it's all about
You really turn me out
I love you stop, stop
Love you stop, stop
Come home from the road
Gotta stop to love
And let's celebrate, celebrate
The love we got, stop
Say you're coming home
Gotta stop to love
I love you stop, stop
I still love you stop, stop
Come home from the road
Gotta stop to love
And let's celebrate, celebrate
All the love we got, stop
Say you're coming home
Gotta stop to love
I love you stop, stop
I still love you stop, stop
Come home from the road
Gotta stop to love
And let's celebrate, celebrate
All the love we got, stop
We shared a life, we shared a heart
But what we united seems to be breaking apart
It’s a haunting pain, goes right to the core
Now we’re dividing what’s mine from what’s yours
I’ll keep the same old things I had when we met
And you’ll keep what’s yours ‘cause that would only be fair
But what about the heart that we both created together?
We used to be the toast of the town
We used to have the best love of all
We had blue skies but they came falling down
What happened to us
You and I once were lovers
No cheating hearts and no one did wrong
So why did we break, can’t say our love wasn’t strong
But I know with time things that start to mend
So let’s fix these hearts so they can’t be broken again
You need a man who sees how lonely you’ve been
Don’t worry, I will start all over and then
We will get back the heart that we both created together
Last night I cried but girl you were not here
So it was just a big waste of tears
But then I smiled, I heard your voice in my ear
Love has truly been good to me
Not even one sad day
Or minute have I had
Since you've come my way
I hope you know, I'd gladly go
Anywhere you'd take me
It's so amazing to be loved
I'd follow you to the moon in the sky above
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, I'd go
Got to tell you how you thrill me
I'm happy as I can be
You have come
And it's changed my whole world
Bye-bye sadness, hello mellow
What a wonderful day
It's so amazing to be loved
I'd follow you to the moon in the sky above
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, I'd go
And it's so amazing, amazing
(So amazing)
I could stay forever, forever
(Stay for ever)
Here in love and no, leave you never
(No, leave you never)
'Cause we've got amazing love
(Amazing love)
Truly it's so amazing, amazing
(So amazing)
Love brought us together, together
(We're together)
I will leave you never and never
(Leave you never)
I guess, we've got amazing love
(Amazing love)
Ooh, so amazing and I've been waiting
For a love like you
It's so amazing to be loved
I'd follow you to the moon in the sky above
Oh, and it's so, it's so
It's so amazing to be loved
I'd follow you to the moon in the sky above
And you know, it's so
It's so amazing to be loved
I'd follow you to the moon in the sky above
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, it's so
It's so amazing to be loved
I'd follow you to the moon in the sky above
Hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah, yeah, hey, it's so
Why did you tell your girlfriend you were hanging with the boys
She called me last night and I tried to cover for ya
She asked if I liked the flick that we all went out to see
I said, “ooo uh, it was nice”
She said, “Don’t you lie to me”
You messed up you shoulda warned me first (she saw you)
I’m sad to tell ya
You shoulda told me ‘cause you made it worse (she saw you) unlucky fella
You better take that credit card (she saw you) to Cartier
You better hope with all you got (she saw you)
She feels like forgiving you today
Too bad for you
You were out there trying to be a player, now she’s gone, it’s true
It’s hard to feel that sorry for you
She saw you, now this is the end
Saw you kiss the very girl (who’s supposed to be) only your friend
She’s convinced you took her heart
And played with it like a toy
And from what I heard, you just might need you a lawyer
It’s too late for feeling bad, you did not respect the girl
You tried to play around
And got caught with your pants down
You can’t escape from what you’ve done (she saw you) your time is up
You’re like a deer who’s caught up in (she saw you) the headlights of love
You can’t be too proud to plead (she saw you) she’s gonna make you pay
Forgiveness is what you need (she saw you) she’s too mad to let you get away
Looks bad to me
You were busy trying to be a player
Now she’s gone, breathe deep
You can’t be doing that creep, creep, creep, creep
She saw you, now this is the end
I hope you hear this cuz I'm about to say it now
Guess I'm to blame and it's just a shame
Cuz I had the chance to tell you what you meant
But I lived my life thinking I had time
And that in my mind I'd get to it
Now you've gone away, not a single day goes by
When I don't think about it
Your spirit's all around, I can say it now
I hope you hear this
Now it's a shame that I found out the hard way
And it ain't the same
Cuz you never ever got to hear me say
That I love you, cuz I waited too late
So oh, I've got to tell everybody
Don't make the same mistake
- It's alright to say I love you out loud
And it's all good, so don't you keep it inside
Let it out, do it today
No no no, don't you wait
Cuz it just might be too late
To say I love you
Don't walk a mile inside my shoes
Cuz if you do, you're gonna regret it
Don't take it lightly thinking they might be
Here or there tomorrow
Why you wanna wait, communicate
Don't assume that they already know
How much, how much you're really feeling
And you really, really love them
Now it's a shame that I found out the hard way
And it ain't the same
Cuz you never ever got to hear me say
That I love you, cuz I waited too late
It's like I would tell anybody
Don't make the same mistake like I did
Those three words make all the difference in the world
You might wait and miss your chance
So don't be scared to say what you're feeling
You can't turn back the hands of time
If you get the chance, do it right
Let it out, say it now
Say it
I'm ready
Ready to shout it out, shout it out loud
So ready
Oh how I wish I could tell you right now
But I waited too late
So today I won't make the same mistake, no
I won't do it, and if I get the chance I'll say it
Yeah, yeah
In the mirror of my mind
Time after time
I see reflections of
You and me
Reflections of
The way life used to be
Reflections of
The love you took from me
I'm all alone now
No love to shield me
Trapped in a world that's
A distorted reality
(Nothing's real)
Happiness you
Took from me
And left me alone
With only memories
Through the mirror of my mind
Through these tears that I'm crying
Reflects the hurt I can't
Control
'Cause although you're gone
I keep holdin' on
To the happy times
Ooh when you were mine
As I peer out through the window
Of the lost time
Looking over my yesterday
And all this love I gave all in vain
(Nothing's real)
(All the love)
All the love that I've wasted
(All those tears)
All the tears that I've tasted
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
All in vain
(All in vain, till nothing remains)
Through the hollow of my tears
I see a dream that's lost
From the hurt, hey, hey
That you have caused
Everywhere I turn
Seems like everything I see
Reflects the love that
Used to be, yeah
In you I put
All my faith and trust
And right before my eyes
My world is turned to dust
After all those nights
I sat alone and wept
Just a hand full of promises and
All that's left of lovin' you
(Nothing's real)
Reflections of
The way life used to be
Reflections of
The love you took from me
In you I put
All my faith and trust
Right before my eyes
My world's turned to dust
Reflections of
(Oh yeah)
The way life used to be
(Yeah)
Reflections of
(Love you took)
The love you took from me
(I'll remember)
In you I put
All my faith and trust
(Remember, remember)
Right before my eyes
My world is turned to dust
Reflections of
Hey baby, what's your game?
I ask you the question and the answer's still the same
How can you go on day to day
Without someone to care
If I wanted to take that chance
If I wanted to be your man
You tell me that you feel lonely
But you won't love nobody
You tell me that you got a big heart
But you won't love no one
You lie and you moan and you bitch and you groan
But you won't let nobody in to love
What am I gonna do?
Hey there baby, you're not shy
We talk for hours and you seem just fine girl, but...
Every time I bring up love
You run for cover
Suppose I told you something that's true
Suppose I told you that I want you
You tell me all the guys want you
But you won't love nobody
You keep your heart in seclusion
And you won't love no one
You game and you flirt and you talk a lot of dirt
But you don't want nobody to love
What are you gonna do?
Heart feels empty, there's no one home
Nights are longer when you're alone
You tell me that you feel lonely
But you won't love nobody
You tell me that you got a big heart
But you won't love no one
You lie and you moan and you bitch and you groan
But you won't let nobody in to love
What am I gonna do?
You tell me all the guys want you
But you won't love nobody
You keep your heart in seclusion
And you won't love no one
You game and you flirt and you talk a lot of dirt
But you don't want nobody to love
