You put the sparkle back in my smile
You made me want to walk a thousand miles
You let me know that it's so and everything must live
Everything must breath, now you say you must leave
You put the sparkle back in my smile, ooh baby
You made me wanna walk a thousand miles
You let me know that it's so and everything must live
Everything must breath, now you say you must leave just the other day
You seemed so content it's a joke
You thought it up the spur of the moment
Please ease my mind come on set it right
'Cause if you don't
I won't sleep a wink tonight
You put the sparkle back in my smile, ooh baby
You made me wanna walk a thousand miles
You let me know that it's so and everything must live
Everything must breath, now you say you must leave
You let me know that it's so and everything must live
Everything must breath, everything must live
I sparkle, loving the way that I do
It is true I feel so good just having you
Breathlessly and eager, submission isn't easy for me
We were so loving wasn't we? I'd always known it could be
Don't want to do nothing, tied against your will
This ain't no cheap thrill, you got to know just how it feel
If you think your going to fall, all you have to do is call
I have nothing in myself and I give myself to you
Say child tingle sparkle, I hope the love never breaks away
Fire burning everyday and save all the warmth for you
Just want you to know when the jealous issues
Understand there will be no other man but you baby
You can believe this love in me as I believe
And when times are low and I am really on your mind
Everybody needs some time, something funky good and kind
And you always seem to please me and you wear me down so easy
Good work is never done until the morning comes
Just want you to know when the jealous issues
Understand there will be no other man but you baby
You can believe this love in me as I believe in you
Don't want to do nothing, tied against your will
This ain't no cheap thrill, you got to know just how it feel
And if you think your going to fall, all you have to do is call
I have nothing in myself and I give myself to you
And when times are low and I am really on your mind
Everybody needs some time, something funky good and kind
Breathlessly and eager, you got me round your finger
A sparkle with the fire, you always take me higher
You always seem to please me, you wear me down so easy
The pressure builds, you buy a gift
You're hoping that your dread will lift
It glitters on her like a glass
You shudder as it comes to pass
Apologize to Luce and Lil'
Converse with Ed, a drive with Jill
Your friends confine you in their worlds
One by one, a string of pearls
Confuse you say, this isn't me
You hover in their unity
Ashamed, you slowly lose your grasp
Release the links, undo the clasp
The skin that drips down from the tree
And peels back slowly from your knee
Erupts into your lung and heart
You laugh and laughing, fall apart
Laugh and laughing, fall apart
Laugh and laughing, fall apart
Laugh and laughing, fall apart
Sparkle, there's gotta be a sparkle
For you to love somebody
For you to really know
Brighter than the lights in the city
It's more than being pretty
The way you are inside
Why are you cryin'
Somebody's tryin'
To be with you only all the time
You hide behind tears
Counting the fears
You're so used to being alone
Sparkle, there's gotta be a sparkle
For you to love somebody
For you to really know
Sparkle, you got a certain sparkle
I know I love somebody
I gotta let it show
(instrumental break)
Nobody knows you
They can't get too close to
A girl who won't let down her disguise
You won't believe how much someone could love you
That someone is looking in your eyes
Sparkle, it's gotta be a sparkle
For you to love somebody
For you to really know
Brighter than the lights of the city
It's more than being pretty
It's the way you feel inside
Sparkle
On a golden sky, you my sparkle flying high
My vibration start to rhyme and it chimes
with loves direction
Now, I'm traveling my cares unraveling,
flying high, just you and me
Feeling free along loves highway
Lover forever unfolds magical moments together
and the fire to ignite melodies tonight
Birds can only sing the song we write
Harmonies in tune that reflect the moon
Sparkle you're so rare and lovely in my sight
Just give me a sign, and be my valentine
Let the arrow full of light, pierce the nigght
with loves affection
Sharing blissfully making history
Fragrants of you loving smile
a little while will last forever
Lover forever unfolds magical moments together
and the fire to ignite melodies tonight
Birds can only sing the song we write
Harmonies in tune that reflect the moon
Sparkle you're so rare and lovely in my sight
You're my valentine
you create a rhyme all the birds can sing
our song divine
Sparkle like a star, sparkling you are
Glistening in my heart
you light my sky
Love forever unfolds magical moments together
and the fire to ignite melodies tonight
Birds can only sing the song we write
Harmonies in tune that reflect the moon
Sparkle you're so rare and lovely in my sight
I remember when you seemed real shiny with the sweat of your voice
Shaky hands super loud and teenage mouth
We were all charmed and taken with your talk
Now I shudder when I hear the rhythm of your walk
Now I've got no place to go, I've got no place to go
I've got no one, nowhere, no one
I have given up on the sparkle that I saw in you
I have sinned the sin of wanting more
The belly fire pulls the spirit from the corporate whore
I'm embarrassed by the plaid you wear
If I were you I'd hide behind that stupid bleach blonde hair
Now I've got no place to go, I've got no place to go
I've got no one, nowhere, no one
I have given up on the sparkle that I saw in you
Yeah that simple minded sparkle that I thought I saw
Yes I have wondered why you changed
I liked it when you were super loud
Sometimes I feel like I just passed you by
Your love just standing in your pain
But you were the one with the magic
You were the one with the spotlight
And you had it all
I know it's never gonna be the way it was
How can it, feeling stranger people can get lost
But I still think of you so much
Do you remember how it was
To me you're a sparkle, yeah.
To me you're a sparkle, eh.
To me you're a sparkle, yeah.
To me you're a sparkle.
Well, well, well, way.

I'm gatherin' up my friends today
and those who recognize the face
as the vision that changed my mind
from hate to faith
was as simple as grapes to wine and sweet as
I'm gatherin' up my friends today
all these hookers and soldiers and swine
and would-be saints
all alone in their rooms that sparkle in their eye
play a song that they'll come outside
to see if
love will overcome
if this love will make us men
love will draw us in
to wipe our tears away
the day that I was so sweetly sung
by the wind and the thunder moved by "someone"
the feelin' of being lived was so strong
the giver became the gift, all one
the day that I was so sweetly sung
the wind seemed to whisper softly, "oh son,
don't wait for the seas to part or messiahs to come
don't sit around and waste this chance, to see it!"
love will overcome
if this love will make us men
love will draw us in
to take our fear away
LOVE
LOVE
LOVE
LOVE, hey, yeah
love, this day now, this day that I was so
sweetly sung, I know, I know that
love will overcome
love will overcome
if this love will make us men
love will draw us in
to take our fear away, wipe our tears away
love!
and all my friends are here
in the city I sing my song
in the face of the hooker, the soldier, the swine
I found it, I found it, I found love!!!!!
love will, love will, love will,
overcome
I sparkle, loving the way that I do
It is true I feel so good just having you
Breathlessly and eager, submission isn't easy for me
We were so loving wasn't we? I'd always known it could be
Don't want to do nothing, tied against your will
This ain't no cheap thrill, you got to know just how it feel

I'm only offering you love tonight
I'm only offering you this for life
I'm only answering your call tonight
I'm only answering your lust for life
Believe me, you're the only one
Believe me, you're the only one
Sparkle in my mind

It's always every single thing to me
It's always every single fantasy
It's always inescapable to me
It's always inescapable to see
Believe me, you're the only one
Believe me, you're the only one
Sparkle in my mind
When I first saw you
You had sparkle in your eye
Like the stars at night
High in the sky
How I wish
That you were mine
'Cause to me
You're one of a kind
When I look at you
It seems so untrue
How someone like you
Can make me feel the way you do
Sparkle in your eye

Can I talk about the ghetto?
That's where I'm from
Listen up, whoa
Just ridin' through the neighborhood
What I see don't look too good
All my brothers hustlin'
All my sisters strugglin'
Just to make it through another day
Just another day
That's just the way it is
(Just the way it is)
When you're living
(Living in the ghetto)
Trying to make it seems so hard
(Living in the ghetto)
Unemployment, don't even have no jobs
(Living in the ghetto) Whoa
(I grew up in the ghetto)
In the ghetto, ghetto whoa
Still got so many memories (Memories)
Growing up with my family (Oh family)
Still westside 'till I die (Throw it up)
And even though I'm living in a highrise
It's not where you are but it's where you're from
Daddy told me long ago
That's why I'll never forget my days
(Never forget my days, no)
(Living in the ghetto)
People don't got no where to go
(Living in the ghetto)
Pimps and hustlers everybody knows
(Living in the ghetto) Whoa
(I grew up in the ghetto)
In the ghetto, in the ghetto
Play on, play on
My, my, my, my, my, my, my
Somebody tell me why
It has to be this way
Oh why?
Don't give up, no, no
Listen
This is for my queens
Keep your hopes high
Stay down on your knees
Praying every night
There'll be days like these
Mama used to say
Ain't no need to worry
He's gonna make a way
And this is for my kings
Don't forget respect
Gotta keep moving on
Cause it ain't over yet
Keep your head about it
Keep your head about it
'Bout it, 'bout it, 'bout it
While you're living
(Living in the ghetto)
See I'll never forget where I'm from, no, no
(Living in the ghetto)
And how far I've come, see I've come too far
(Living in the ghetto)
In the ghetto, who
(I grew up in the ghetto)
In the ghetto, the ghetto
(Living in the ghetto)
So many kids out in the streets
(Living in the ghetto)
2 o'clock in the morning when they need to be at home asleep
(Living in the ghetto)
Such a quiet place
Such a frowning face
Such a quiet place
Such a frowning face
There is no greater
No, no, no, no, no
There's no greater love I've seen in my life
No no greater, greater
Oh, no, no
Oh Lord I praise Your name
For all the things You've done, oh
There's no greater
No greater love I've found than You, Lord
And all the things You've done for me
I'm so glad I've come to see
There's no greater
No greater love I've found than You, Lord
Your legs hurt and walked away
That's why you want me to be brave
There's no greater love
I found no greater love
There's no greater love
There's no greater
There's no greater, I know
He can move any mountain
And He can calm any sea
He can ease any troubled mind
He can give victory
I come to know
I've come to know
I've come to know
My heavenly father
There's no greater
No greater
No greater love I've found than You

Play on, play on, and on, and on
Boy what you do to me
I can't conceive
All I know is that I love you
But I've got to leave
Boy what did I ever do
To make you do the things you do
Drop the 4-1-1 for me
Here I am, boy
Come and talk to me
I need to know what's going on
With this love affair
Sick and tired of playin' games, boy

Now you've torn it all apart, so
Repeat 1

Play on, play on, and on, and on

Gave you all my time
Boy you played me for a fool
Now there's one thing left to do
So play on
Boy, you should have told me
That you had somebody else across town
Oh boy, instead I heard it from a friend of mine
How could I be so blind
You took my love for granted
It's not the way I planned it
Oh boy, no explainations
Don't wanna hear no more lies
Or some phoney alibis, just
Repeat 1
Repeat 2
Every night I wait for your love
To come around, boy

Every day and night
What's the use of crying
I'm tired of trying

What is gonna happen to us? Think about the children
And all the things you promised me
You say you wanna leave without giving me a reason at all
Boy, I don't understand, what about all these plans we've made?
You vowed that you would stay, do you wanna be a man about it?
Can we talk about it? Don't just leave
What about faithful? What about, what about faithful
And all those things you promised me?
What about the children? What about, what about the children
And how in love we used to be?
At night I lay awake, hoping you will take the time to call me
I hardly see your face, we miss you night and day
How could you just turn and walk away? Do you wanna
Be a man about it? Can we talk about it? Don't just leave
What about faithful? What about, what about faithful
And all those things you promised me?
What about the children? What about, what about the children
And how in love we used to be?
What about the house, the cars, the papers and the mortgage?
What about, what about and our estate that we both own
How could you dare break up our happy home? Oh boy
What about my, what about my life? You made me your wife
What is gonna happen to us?
What about faithful? What about, what about faithful

Never can say goodbye
Never can say goodbye, no
I had a few lovers in my life
Had to walk away 'cause things wasn't right
I had no problem movin' on
'Cause I still had to be strong
(You know we gotta be strong)
Never thought that I would feel this way
All my skies blue from being gray
Never be another, baby
I need the love you give to me
(You give to me)
At night, hold my pillow so tight
Can't you see why I cry, cry, cry?
I can't sleep and I can't eat
Ooh baby see no one does it like you do
(Like you do)
Can't stop lovin' you baby, baby, baby
Can't you see that I could never say?
(Never can say)
Never can say goodbye no, no, no, no
(Never can say)
Never can say goodbye, no, goodbye no
(Never can say)
Never can say goodbye, no, no
(Never can say)
Never can say goodbye, no
Don't tell me, what's a girl to do
When she's so in love with you
I don't know, baby
Sometimes you make me lose control
See nobody, nobody but you
Can hold me tight
And when we make love, it feels so right
Can't nobody do me like you do it
When you're doin' me, oh, oh, oh
At night, hold my pillow so tight
Can't you see why I cry, cry, cry?
I can't sleep and I can't eat
Ooh baby see no one does it like you do

Never can say goodbye
(No, no, no, no, no)
Never can say goodbye, no
(What would I do without love?)
(Where would I go without love?)
Never can say goodbye
(I wanna live without you baby, baby, baby)
Baby I've been thinking 'bout
All the wrong you've done
Making like everything is good
And I'm the only one
Did you think that I wouldn't see
Guess you thought that I wouldn't know
Old girl knocked at my door
And this is what she told me
Yes it's a fact
I love him so
But I ain't gonna put up with his shit
And don't you put up with his games no more
Oh no
Just had to let you know
She said I had a right to know
Funny how she knew about
When I was out of town (in LA)
Even knowing the date and time
That my plane was letting down (2 AM)
She talked about how she cooked and fed (Steak and eggs)
She even knew the sheets on my bed (baby blue)
I had to stop, I had to cool down
I had to cool it down
Okay, now I appreciate
The fact she let me know
Shitty how this all went down
I had to see her to the door
How could you go and wreck this home
Catching hell when I'm gone
Grab your things and let the wind blow
Just let the wind blow
Yes it's a fact
I loved you so
But I ain't gon' put up with your shit
Ain't gon' put up with your games no more
Oh no, already told you so
Get like the wind and blow
Yes it's a fact
I loved you so
But I ain't gon' put up with your shit
Ain't gon' put up with your games no more
Oh no, already told you so
Get like the wind and blow
After all that I've done
Never thought you'd be the one

What's going on?
Tell me what's up
Do you wanna know why
This woman's fed up
People running their mouth
But they don't know
I might as well changed my name to Jackie O
Drama filled life, no privacy
Them f**kin' magazines keep lyin' on me
Sometimes I wanna fly
Far, far away
But there'll be somebody there
With something else to say
I don't know why
Why you wanna talk about me
I don't know why
Why they keep on lyin' on me
(I don't know why)
I don't know why
Scandal must be my first name
I don't know why
Somebody tell me who's the one to blame
(I don't know)
What I do with my life
Ain't nobody's biz
What I do with my time
I wish you'd let me live
See everywhere I go
Your cameras follow me
Don't you know frames cover my eyes?
So my tears you never see
Tell me how much more
Do you think that I can take
Have the chauffer drive me home
Paparazzi's at my gate
Try to ruin me, I ain't gonna let you do
Got a call from the Marshall firm
Somebody else wanna sue
I don't know why
Why you wanna talk about me
I don't know why
Why they keep on lyin' on me
(I don't know why)
I don't know why
Scandal must be my first name
I don't know why
Somebody tell me who's the one to blame
(I don't know)

When a woman's, woman's heart
When a woman's, woman's heart (Oh, oh)

When a woman's
You didn't have to tell me lies

Never thought you were the playa tight
So many lovers on the side
Don't wanna hear what you got to say
Right now the feeling's gone away
So here's a price you gotta pay
Ain't gotta go home, but you can't stay
(Can I take you shopping baby?) No nigga
(What about dinner?) Forget it
(What about diamonds babe?)
I don't wanna see your face around here no more
This time, all I wanted was you to be there
Instead you went and cheated
1 - When a woman's heart is broken
Ain't no flowers gonna bring her back to you
No way
When a woman's heart is broken
She remembers it forever
When a woman's heart is broken
You can get on your knees
You can beg and plead
I ain't takin' your shit this time
Let the door knob hit you son
Pack your bags, keep movin' on
You didn't try to be discreet
Had all your business in the street
You took that trip to Tiffany's
And you bought a ring but it was not for me
I'm not gonna smash your windows
I'm not gonna burn your clothes
I just wanna see you get the hell out now
(Can I take you shopping baby?) No nigga
(What about dinner?)
Don't wanna hear what you say
(What about diamonds babe?)
Why am I talking to you anyway
I don't wanna see your face another day
I don't wanna hear what you say
I can make my own way
Repeat 1
So leave the credit cards, the Benz
No, no we can't be friends
Just keep moving on, moving on
Take a bus the way you used to
I won't cry, still got pride
Don't let the green grass fool you
Get your things and get them fast
I just wanna see you get out now
Repeat 1 till end
See there ain't nothing better than
When you got someone that wants to hold you real tight
(That's tight)
Ain't that right girls?
(That's right)
And there ain't nothing better than
When you got someone who knows how to treat you right
(Damn right)
I know what I'm talking about
(Damn right)
He keeps me thinking and dreaming and singing all day
Waiting for him just to call me and say
How much he loves me
That's what he does, you see
When you're lovin' a man
(When you're lovin' a man)
Don't you let nothing come in between what you got
That's right, my lady sing that's right
(That's right, that's right)
When you're lovin' a man
(When you're lovin' a man)
You do anything that you can do to keep it tight
(Keep it tight)
That's tight, that's right
(Girls, you know what I'm talking about)
See when he gets home from work
I got bath water ready to wash his body down
(That's right)
Even wash his feet real good
(That's right)
And then we make love, I just can't help myself
I just lose control
(Good love)
That's what he gives to me
(Good lovin')
That's why I cook and I clean and I take care of him
'Cause he loves me, I'll do it again and again
Because that's my man and I'll do whatever I can
See, when you're lovin' a man
(When you're lovin' a man)
Don't you let nothing come in between what you got
Don't let nothing and nobody come between you
(That's right, that's right)
When you're lovin' a man
(When you're lovin' a man)
You do anything that you can do to keep it tight
(You do anything you gotta do)
That's right, that's right
But listen here
See ladies, I'm not waiting to exhale
No, no, I'm breathing now
See, when you got a good man
And I did say a good man, that's right
You will stand by him
Support that man the best you can
Even through those rough, rough times
Y'all know it's hard out here
But make sure you're doing what you can
See, when you're lovin' a man
(When you're lovin' a man)
Don't you let nothing come in between what you've got
(Don't let nobody come between you and your man)
That's right, that's right
When you're lovin' a man
(When you're lovin' a man)
You do anything that you can do to keep it tight
(You do anything, anything, girls you know what I'm talking about)
That's right, that's right
When you're lovin' a man
(Don't be running with the Jones's)
Don't you let nothing come between what you've got

Although we've been through our ups and downs
If we believe and have faith
We can conquer anything
Baby I know we could work this out
1 - Lean on me and I'll lean on you
It is the only way for us to make it through
Lean on me and I'll lean on you
It is the only way for us to make it through
I know we've been through some hard times, boy
And it didn't seem like we were gonna make it
So many things has changed between us two
Though we fuss and fight with one another
We're so afraid to loose each other
Repeat 1
I know that we can conquer anything
If we put our hearts together
We can make it
Don't let our friends come between this ring
And don't let what we have worked so hard for
Be in vain
Repeat 1
All of those years
All the years we made
Say they count for something, babe
How we used to trust
When it came to one of us
Neither wants to leave
Now there's such a mystery
So whenever you need
You can lean on me

Now I've got mad love for you
But all of the sneaky things ya do

What's your business
See I gotta know what's going on, yeah
Tell me

What's your business

Romantic only when I'm counting G's
Love my enemies
Please, nigga's hit them knees
Now who the fuck you seein'

Peepin' you on the internet
House in Nevada, home in Chicago
Who gotcha, Strings
Repeat 1
Biz, oh yeah
Repeat 1 while:
Tell me why you're running in and out of town
I think some funny shitin' is goin' down
Tell me what the big shit is
I'm tired of sittin' here thinkin' bout you
Where you goin', who you wit, and why you ain't called yet
When the next set a table for two
With massage, roses and everything
You used to give me, now is gone
Out of my mind is where I don't belong
Already said be careful what you do to me
'cause it might come back to you
Chorus
Why you wanna play games, I ain't got time
Ya see, I can play it better than ya
Makin' me feel like I should play the same games
Do you really wanna?
Still playin' games, I ain't got time
Ya see, I can play it better than ya
Makin' me feel like I should play the same games
Do you really wanna?
You know I could be out there doin' the fool
With the next nigga wanna spend some time with me
Even though I'd rather be with you
It's like, outta sight, outta mind
What do you expect for me to feel
I ain't got the time to sit and fade around
Thinkin' bout where you goin', why you ain't called
Who you wit, whachu doin'
And I don't know what you talkin' about
You say you need some time to find yourself
It only sounds like another excuse
Must be someone else
That you been givin' all your time
Probably trickin' every dime
While I pay the car note, pay the rent
Pay the phone bill
You really need to stop your playin' games
Chorus
Bridge
See, if I didn't answer my cell
Would you trip out?
And if I didn't answer my page
Would you freak out?
If I stayed all night at the club
Would you bug out?
And if I had numbers in my pants
Would you check out?
If I put my girls before you
Would you stress out?
Late night calls from my ex
Would you be out?
Tricks are for kids silly rabbit, I'm grown
Please take your games, go on
Play it on your own
Chorus x2 & Bridge

Hmm, yeah
Wanna talk about my life, my life
Wanna talk about my life, my life
Oh yeah
You see I never knew a love like this before
I gave you my life to walk right out the door
You said our love would stand the test of time
Or was that just a line
The love that you gave was so amazing, why
Why did you have to come and wreck my life
Don't understand the reason, I can't tell
I'm going out of my mind
Into my life
You stole my heart
Walked out, don't know why
Into my life
Tell me why you play these games with my heart
Into my life
You stole my heart
Walked out, don't know why
Into my life
Tell me why you play these games with my heart
Time after time, moment to moment you
Told me baby you loved me, so can't you
See how you crushed my heart with those few words
Or was it just rehearsed
When I lay at night all I can think is you
Just one more time, so many things I'd do
To keep you coming back and wanting more
How could you walk out that door
Gave you my love
You didn't appreciate it
Gave you my time
Boy how I do regret it
Never will I
Brother you can forget it
I'll be fine
Into my life
You stole my heart
Walked out, don't know why
Into my life
Tell me why you play these games with my heart
Into my life
You stole my heart
Walked out, don't know why
Into my life
Tell me why you play these games with my heart
So don't come knockin' at my door
Cause you ain't welcome 'round here no more
I can do bad by myself
Without you walking in and out of my life
Don't come knockin' at my door
Cause you ain't welcome 'round here no more
I can do bad by myself
Without you walking in and out of my life
Into my life
You stole my heart
Walked out, don't know why
Into my life

Turn away from my love
My love my love
Turn away from my love
My love my love
Since you turned away
Oh, life ain't been worth living
Since you turned away
My love ain't been worth giving
Since you turned away
You see this house is not a home
Since you turned away
Baby I just can't go on since you
There is no greater
No, no, no, no, no
There's no greater love I've seen in my life
No no greater, greater
Oh, no, no
Oh Lord I praise Your name
For all the things You've done, oh
There's no greater
No greater love I've found than You, Lord
And all the things You've done for me
I'm so glad I've come to see
There's no greater
No greater love I've found than You, Lord
Your legs hurt and walked away
That's why you want me to be brave
There's no greater love
I found no greater love
There's no greater love
There's no greater
There's no greater, I know
He can move any mountain
And He can calm any sea
He can ease any troubled mind
He can give victory
I come to know
I've come to know
I've come to know
My heavenly father
There's no greater
No greater

Oh, oh
Hey, whassup?
Yeah, it's me, whatchu doin'?
I'm just here by myself, that's all
You know what you need to do
You need to get up and get over here
Right now
Another lonely night again, all alone by myself
Layin' in this empty room, kinda dark, kinda cold
I need someone to lay with me, hold me tight all night long
Take away this emptiness and fill it up with some romance
All I really want is someone to love me down
All I really want is someone to come around
All I really want is someone between my sheets
All I really want is someone here lovin' me
Don't want to talk no more, just get right down to it
Put it on, that way no need to stop again
Just want to feel your body deep, like deep inside
Before you get yours, be sure that I get mine
A couple times
All that I been thinking 'bout
Is you on top of me
All that I been dreamin' 'bout
Is you here lovin' me
All I really want is someone to love me down
All I really want is someone to come around
All I really want is someone between my sheets
All I really want is someone here lovin' me
I just can't believe the way you're makin' me feel
My body's shakin', skakin', I just can't keep still
And when you're talkin' dirty, sounds so good to me
It's such a burnin' bed you'll see
Because you're giving me what I need
All I really want is someone to love me down
All I really want is someone to come around
All I really want is someone between my sheets
All I really want is someone here lovin' me
Round and round we go, go, go
Up and down, real slow, slow, slow
Ooh it feels so right, right, right
We'll be up in here all night, night, night
All I really want is someone to love me down
All I really want is someone to come around
All I really want is someone between my sheets
All I really want is someone here lovin' me
All I really want is someone to love me down
All I really want is someone to come around
All I really want is someone between my sheets

1 - You are my life
Place no one above
Just one simple touch
Nothing can compare
Lovin' in the way you make me feel
So proud to know your love is real
Feels good to have you for myself
All that I need and no one else
Repeat 1
Just like the sun shines after rain
Boy you put joy where there was pain
You took me high when I was low
There when I had no where to go
Repeat 1
You got a hold of me
Here's where you ought to be
Boy you can run to me
When ever you need
I'm down with the way you wanna love me
Plenty good lovin' boy, waitin' for you
Plenty good lovin' boy, waitin' for you
1 - Plenty good lovin' boy, waitin' for you
Plenty good lovin' boy, waitin' for you
Plenty good lovin' boy, waitin' for you
Plenty good lovin' boy, waitin' for you
Boy, you know my love is waiting
Waiting to come down
But it's all up to you
I know what you want
And I'm gonna give it you, boy
But first you got to put your trust in me
Repeat 1
I can hardly wait to get you here with, oh baby
Are ya hungry boy, did you eat yet?
Giving you that sweet affection
That I know you need
Boy, you can depend on me
Don't you worry, worry 'bout rejection, boy
Cuz tonight you're mine just put your trust in me
Repeat 1 until fade
You know the galaxy's full of black holes
We don't know which one
Oh take a look I take a look inside
This is a whle new kind of illusion
Based on a brand new kind of confusion
Built on wise decisions based on foolish pride
And you wonder why you wasted all this time
Oh Trying to find gold in a salt mine
And now you've reached the limit
But the limit is the sky
Oh straight up one more straight up one more time
This is a character assasination
This is a character that needs a vacation
All too soon too long too much for one mind
You gotta step back and take inventory
You're only seeing one side of the story
And a good story is changing all the time
There is always one more sucker doing fine
One more trucker driving that white line
Delivering nothing to no one everywhere
Oh straight up one more straight up one more time
It's much too easy to give up
Much too hard to get up
To another day just like yesterday
And this time there is no escape this time
And any explanation would be fine
And now you've reached the limit
But the limit is the sky
I been hearin' 'bout you, talking 'bout you, thinking 'bout you
Reminiscing about all those things we used to do
I'm still lovin', are you worrying on your feinin' for you
Makin' every move I can to get back close to you
I regrert that day I told you I don't need you 'round
If I had one wish, I'd make the clock rewind
You were so good to me
But you probably can convince somebody else
1 - bet you've been spendin' your time with
(somebody else, somebody else, somebody else)
Probably been givin' good love to
(somebody else, somebody else, somebody else)
Oh, I can't take you bein' with
(somebody else, somebody else, somebody else)
Oh no, no
(spending all of your time)
Spend time
(with somebody else)
My girls told me that they saw you last week at the mall
Pullin' out in your poor bently drop top, ready to ball
You pulled over for a moment just to say hello
And that trick that you was with said that you had to go
Didn't ask how I was doin' didn't mention my name
But I know deep down inside that you feel the same
What was runnin' through my mind
Boy you're spending time with somebody else
Repeat 1
Hangin' all day, picnic in the park
Oak street shoppin', fancy restaurants
Givin' back rubs, takin' long flights
Check in hotels, sexin' all night
Hot bubble baths, sippin' champagne
What he's doin' for another, I'm the one to blame
You were so good to me
Now you're doin' things with somebody else
Repeat 1
Oh, someone has just excited me
And made me know where I want to be
Where are you now?
But this sparkle couldn't stand the chill
In the darkest room of our world
Where am I now?
And everywhere we go
We always run
From what I don't know
And we think we have the answer but we've not
And now we've been on our own for ages
So what have we done?
She's broke many people with her ways
Your pale eyes water as her body decays
She's on her way down, down
Forget about her all in a bath
But these words are scratched on her chest
'Where are you now?'
And everywhere we go
Whether we run, walk or crawl
You turn to me and I still don't know
And we think we have the answer
But we've not, here she comes
And now we've been all on our own for ages
So where do we go?
Now she's convinced she's found the exit
But it's to what?
She says, "The things which you don't know
Things which you don't know"
Now she knows, I know that she knows
But she can't see that I that I do, yeah
And she thinks she have the answer
Here she comes
But she's been on her own for ages
And what has she done?
And she's convinced she's found the exit
But it's to what?
She says, "The things which you don't know
Things which you don't know"
Oh, the things you don't know
(Shel Silverstein Baxter Taylor)
Down in Lou'siana where the black trees grow live a voodoo lady named Marie Lavaux
She got a black cat tooth and a mojo bone and anyone wouldn't leave her alone
She go GREEEEEEEEEEEE another man done gone
She live in a swamp in a hollow log with a one eyed snake and a three legged dog
She got a bent bony body and stringy hair and if she ever seen you messin' round there
She go GREEEEEEEEEEEE another man done gone
And then one night when the moon was black into the swamp came Handsome Jack
A no good man that you all know and he was lookin' around for Marie Lavaux
He said Marie Lavaux you lovely witch why don't you gimme a little charm gonna make me rich
He said now gimme million dollars and I'll tell you what I'll do, this very night I'm gonna marry you
It'll be GREEEEEEEEEEEE another man done gone
So Marie did some magic and she shook a little sand, she made a million dollars and she put it in his hand
Then she looked and she said hey hey, Now I'm gettin' ready for my wedding day
But ol' Handsome Jack said Good-bye Marie, you too damn ugly for a man like me
So Marie started cryin', her fangs started shakin', her body started turnin', she started quakin'
She said GREEEEEEEEEEEE another man done gone
So if you ever get down where the black tree grow and meet a voodoo lady named Marie Lavaux
And if she ever asks you to make her your wife, man you better stay with her for the rest of your life
Or it'll be GREEEEEEEEEEEE....
Through the clouds
A nice surprise
To see the twinkle returning to your eyes
I searched my head
For some old spark
Fell around the place, stumbling in the dark
And when I feel the skies will never clear
You remind me spring is near
How you sparkle, how you shine
How you rise above the sky
And you rise, and you rise
Through the crowd
I catch your eye
Takes me back again, when we were getting high
I searched my head
For some old spark
Fell about the place, fumbling in the dark
And when I feel the skies will never clear
You remind me spring is near
How you sparkle, how you shine
How you rise above the sky
And you rise, and you rise
And nothing in this world could make me love you less
But shadows often leave perfection in a mess
Oh my love, oh my lord
Oh my love, oh my lord
How you sparkle, how you shine
How you rise above the sky
And you rise, and you rise
You make me sick in a lot of ways
Make me smile always
I'm just really into
Having this chase
Kept my eyes open everytime
Falling for you is a crime
We let sparks go off
This time
Oh oh
I've been here before
Not long ago
With someone just as beautiful
Just as doubtful
I sure don't mind
Having you
This time
I see it in the steps you take
I hear it in the sounds you make
I'm just really into
Having a taste
Remind me how we got this far
Remind me how we fell apart
Oh I can't give you
That space in my heart
Oh oh
I've been here before
Not long ago
With someone just as beautiful
Just as doubtful
I sure don't mind
Having you
This time
And then we fall asleep.
I'm the one
Whos always in the way
But you got me
Hoping for more
I'm here to stay
As though I am always there
As though I had never left
Oh oh
I've been here before
Not long ago
With someone just as beautiful
Just as doubtful
I sure don't mind
Spendin time
Oh oh
I've been here before
Not long ago
With someone just as beautiful
Just as doubtful
I sure don't mind
I sure don't mind
I sure don't mind
All these wasted years remind me of a girl,
She was once in my heart
She ruled my whole wide world;
Her eyes sparkle just like a dimond in the sky
Her face doesn't let me sleep through out the night;
She never loved me
like I did for her
Everytime I come close

On a golden sky, you my sparkle flying high
My vibration start to rhyme and it chimes
with loves direction
Now, I'm traveling my cares unraveling,
flying high, just you and me
Feeling free along loves highway
Lover forever unfolds magical moments together
and the fire to ignite melodies tonight
Birds can only sing the song we write
Harmonies in tune that reflect the moon
Sparkle you're so rare and lovely in my sight
Just give me a sign, and be my valentine
Let the arrow full of light, pierce the nigght
with loves affection
Sharing blissfully making history
Fragrants of you loving smile
a little while will last forever
Lover forever unfolds magical moments together
and the fire to ignite melodies tonight
Birds can only sing the song we write
Harmonies in tune that reflect the moon
Sparkle you're so rare and lovely in my sight
You're my valentine
you create a rhyme all the birds can sing
our song divine
Sparkle like a star, sparkling you are
Glistening in my heart
you light my sky
Love forever unfolds magical moments together
and the fire to ignite melodies tonight
Birds can only sing the song we write
Harmonies in tune that reflect the moon
The greatest living painter
Painted in a painted corner
The greatest on the earth has never stepped on land
I'm standing on a gold mine
I could make it all mine all mine
But I don't want your money just your...
If you took my hand would I still be blind
'Cos you don't sparkle, you don't shine
Sparkle in my eyes
And if you took my hand would I still be blind
You don't sparkle, you don't shine
Sparkle in my, sparkle in my eyes
The greatest living singer
Stuck inside a damp bedsitter
The greatest on the earth has never stepped on land
For services rendered
A party full of great pretenders
The champagne wasn't chilled such a dreadful oversight
Oh why
If you took my hand would I still be blind
Cause you don't sparkle, you don't shine
Sparkle in my eyes
Oh no you, you don't sparkle in my eyes
If you took my hand would I still be blind
Cause you don't sparkle, you don't shine
Sparkle in my eyes
And if you took my hand would I still be blind
You don't sparkle, you don't shine
Sparkle in my eyes
Oh no you, you don't sparkle, sparkle in my eyes
Where did you find that sparkle?
In an endless progress of acknowledgment, we're found
In our present process of rising success, we'll shine
Where did you find that sparkle?
With a start among youth, comes exposing the stupidity
Where did you find that sparkle?
(Where did you find that sparkle?)
Through the emptiness of celebrity life, we'll shine
Where did you find that sparkle?
(Where did you find that sparkle?)
We'll shine
I want some of that sparkle
(Where did you find that sparkle?)
We'll shine
I want some of that sparkle
Will I get very far with my voice and guitar
Being a well drunken boy from the back of a car
Wasting all of my life on a hope that you'll find something valuable, something one of a kind
Making friends on the way to seduce and dismay
When I get to the top, it's a desolate place
And the line that I walk, it is paved with emery
But I'm feeling content with the money I make
Cause the dollars and cents never cease to amaze
They will shine
We'll shine
We'll shine
We'll shine
Where did you find that sparkle?
We'll shine
Where did you find that sparkle?
Say you have nothing
Say you have nothing at all
Say you have nothing
Say you have nothing at all
(We'll shine)
Say you have nothing
Say you have nothing at all
(We'll shine)
Say you have nothing
Say you have nothing and nothing at all
