Stay, you don't have to go
Please stay with me
Boy, I wanna play
You ain't gotta go, just stay with me
There ain't nobody here but you and me
And I must say I'm glad you're here with me
We're so close and I got it so bad
I wanna give you something that you never had
We're always together, we're never apart
You keep showing me new things, stealing my heart
I'm tired of holding back and taking it slow
Tonight's gon' be different, I'm just letting you know
'Cause I want you to
Stay, you don't have to go
Please stay with me
Boy, I wanna play
You ain't gotta go, just stay with me
Come on, let's be real, you want me to
Ain't no reason to hide, say what you wanna do
You like to kiss and I like to touch
We can stay here forever 'cause I love you so much
Let's stay together, let's never part
You keep showing me new things 'cause you're in my heart
We ain't gotta hold back, we can take it slow
Tonight is so different, I'm so glad you know
And I want you to
Stay, you don't have to go
Please stay with me
Boy, I wanna play
You ain't gotta go, just stay with me
Stay, stay, stay, stay with me
Stay, stay, stay, stay with me

[Verse 1:]
Tell me how
How did we get here
We keep runnin from all the answers
And leaving me here with questions
It's not fare
Why you never there
You keep leaving me here alone
Please tell me what
What you wanna do
My heart belongs to you
And I don't know what to do
You say
That you still love me
It's not in your actions so what's the distractions
Were falling
Falling apart
Feels like our ending
It's not like the start
Please won't you tell me the truth
Instead of always just leaving me here alone
[Chorus:]
Alone
Don't wanna be
Alone
Don't wanna be here alone [x3]
Please won't u tell me the truth
Instead of always just leaving me here alone
[Verse 2:]
Please tell me
How did you and I become
Then change from we to me
I see you changed
And I'm the one to blame
Cause I noticed everything
And I never said a thing
So say what's on your mind
So we don't waste our time
Tryna hold on to loose ties
Oh baby
Please won't you tell me the truth
Instead of always just leaving me here alone
[Chorus:]
Alone
Don't wanna be
Alone
Don't wanna be here alone [x3]
Please won't u tell me the truth
Instead of always just leaving me here alone
[Bridge:]
If I'm apart of you
And your apart of me
Then why can't we talk it out
And bring it back to we
You said forever youd never leave
It's worth more than everything
And that's what I believe
The choses your making are breaking us up
Your making it hard to identify love
I'm tryna keep us together
The only way to make it better
Is don't let me be alone
[Chorus:]
Alone
Don't wanna be
Alone
Don't wanna be here alone [x3]
Please won't u tell me the truth
Only think about the good things
Keep your faith, stay strong
Move forward even if it's wrong
Stay forward, stay forward
I confess I'm a mess
And I'm tryin' to catch up to life
The clock keeps tickin' away
And I'm losing myself everyday
All in the name of the life
Anybody hearing me
Can't nobody feel me
It just me all by myself
Ain't nowhere to run to
But I keep runnin'
(Runnin', runnin', runnin')
Runnin', runnin', I keep
(Runnin', runnin', runnin')
Hands down
I wanna gonna give up
'Cause who gives a fuck
'Cause nothing that I do is right
What happens to the light
In the day when the sun felt good
Makin' me wanna win
In the game of life
I know I got love in me
But there's no more trust in me
I just want to be by myself
Just wanna be by myself so
I just keep
(Runnin', runnin', runnin')
Runnin', runnin', runnin'
I keep runnin', runnin', runnin',
C'mon, we can do whatever you want
I don't mind, do whatever you want
It's alright, do whatever you want
I'm not gonna say no, not tonight
C'mon, we can do whatever you want
I don't mind, do whatever you want
It's alright, do whatever you want
I'm not gonna say no, not tonight
No please, say yes 'cause I need to feel you next to me
I need your love and I'm not gonna say, no not tonight
Tonight is not the night that I'm gonna run from you
My body needs your touch and you're not gonna hear no not tonight
What I feel is takin' over, I lost myself, I'm through
Can't control what I'm feelin', been runnin', but I run back to you
Your eyes is like a mirror, I know you feel it too
Might be a sin tonight this yearnin' only ends when I'm with you
C'mon, we can do whatever you want
I don't mind, do whatever you want
It's alright, do whatever you want
I'm not gonna say no, not tonight
C'mon, we can do whatever you want
I don't mind, do whatever you want
It's alright, do whatever you want
I'm not gonna say no, not tonight
We keep playin' games, a kiss here it's all the same
It's time to go all the way, I wanna know what I've been waitin' for
You move just like the ocean, your lips I can't ignore
Your hands might know the secrets, we ain't even deep and I want more
See we can't pretend like we don't want to taste the sweetness
Chocolate caramel ice cream on a dream float with red wine
My mind is somewhere else, my soul wants to explore
You look at me, it's over
No need for words, you know I adore you
C'mon, we can do whatever you want
I don't mind, do whatever you want
It's alright, do whatever you want
I'm not gonna say no, not tonight
C'mon, we can do whatever you want
I don't mind, do whatever you want
It's alright, do whatever you want
I'm not gonna say no, not tonight
I'm not gonna say no
I'm not gonna say no
I'm not gonna say no, not tonight
I'm not gonna say
He can do whatever he want
He can do whatever he want
C'mon, we can do whatever you want
I don't mind, do whatever you want
It's alright, do whatever you want
I'm not gonna say no, not tonight
C'mon, we can do whatever you want
I don't mind, do whatever you want
It's alright, do whatever you want
I'm not gonna say no, not tonight
I hear you knockin' but you can't come in
I hear you knockin' but you ain't gon' win
I hear you knockin', I hear you knockin'
I hear you knock, knock, knock, knock, knockin'
Workin' day and night
Gotta get up and pay my bills
People want what they want
They don't care about how you feel
You ain't gon' get me today
You better move out of my way
I got a whole lot to live for
Don't wanna hear the blues today
Economy down, said the news
'Cause we bought the war
Change comes like the wind
Now I know what hope is for
I see the sun on my face
And you won't hear me complain
Hey, 'cause I can't let the dark days
Bring me down, got a lot of things to say
Don't be knockin' at my door
I hear you knockin' but you can't come in
I hear you knockin' but you ain't gon' win
I hear you knockin', I hear you knockin'
I hear you knock, knock, knock, knock, knockin'
I hear you knockin' but you can't come in
I hear you knockin' but you ain't gon' win
I hear you knockin', I hear you knockin'
I hear you knock, knock, knock, knock, knockin'
People always usin' other people
Tryin' to get ahead
Runnin' after the light
Never thinkin' about they said
Hey, what's the matter with you?
You need to watch what you do
Hey, you got to get your head straight
Live your life and do what He told you to do
Early Sunday mornin'
Preacher talkin' 'bout savin' souls
He said, "I don't have all the answers
I'm just here to try to let you know"
Every time that you pray a blessin' comes right away
Don't let the hard times take your spirit
Move the devil away
Don't be knockin' at my door
I hear you knockin' but you can't come in
I hear you knockin' but you ain't gon' win
I hear you knockin', I hear you knockin'
I hear you knock, knock, knock, knock, knockin'
I hear you knockin' but you can't come in
I hear you knockin' but you ain't gon' win
I hear you knockin', I hear you knockin'
I hear you knock, knock, knock, knock, knockin'
Don't be knockin' at my door
I hear you knockin' but you can't come in
I hear you knockin' but you ain't gon' win
I hear you knockin', I hear you knockin'
I hear you knock, knock, knock, knock, knockin'
I hear you knockin' but you can't come in
I hear you knockin' but you ain't gon' win
I hear you knockin', I hear you knockin'
Always alone
Someone come for me
Here on my own
Feels like the pain lasts an eternity
Tears come no more I wanna smile again
Love again
Please someone find me
Souls pass me by
Why can't they see me here
Touch me one time
Just like magic
I will reappear
Sadness like the rain it showers over me
I wanna feel again
Please someone find me
Lost not yet found
Breathing in misery
Hope lurks around
When will the Sun ever shine on me
I need love to come carry me
Take me away
Please someone find me
I'll sing my song
Maybe I'll scream and shout
Please someone come
I don't wanna live without love
Hear my plea
I have love to give
I wanna live
Be good to yourself
Sometimes we don't listen
To what we already know
Take time to hear me
'Cause you've got to be told
So busy looking for love
Like you don't know your worth
Get it together
Even when it hurts
You gotta be good to yourself, yeah
(Be good to yourself)
You can't wait on nobody else
(No one else)
Baby, be good to yourself, yeah
(Be good to yourself)
Oh, you can't love nobody, ooh
(Oh, you can't love nobody else)
Some days you feel like running
From everyone you know
The things that you thought might be right now
It ain't necessarily so
So much on my mind
Need a break from it all
To get myself together
So I don't fall
Gotta be good to yourself
(Be good to yourself)
You can't wait on nobody else
(No one else)
Baby, you gotta be good to yourself, yeah
(Be good to yourself)
Oh, you can't love, yeah

You can get through whatever
Always make time
For yourself, whoo

You can't wait on nobody else

Baby, be good to yourself

[Adlibs]
I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands, saying how do you do
They're only saying I love you
I see babies crying, I watch them grow
They'll learn so much more than I'll ever know
Then I think to myself what a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands, saying how do you do
They're only saying I love you
I see babies crying, I watch them grow
They'll learn so much more than I'll ever know
Then I think to myself what a wonderful world
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 Yuletide gay
From now on our troubles will be miles away
Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more
Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now
Have yourself a merry Christmas
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more
Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
People just don't know what I'm about...
They haven't seen what's there behind my smile...
There's so much more of me I'm showin out...
(These are the pieces of me)
When it looks like I'm up...sometimes I'm down
I'm alone even when people all around
but that don't change the happiness I found...
(These are the pieces of me)
Chorus:
So when you look at my face...
You gotta know that I'm made of everything love and pain.
(These are the pieces of me)
Like every woman I know...
I'm complicated for sho..
But when I love, I love til there's no love no more...
(These are the pieces of me)
Verse2:
So many colors...
(I make up the woman that you see)
A good friend and lover
(Anything you want Yes I can be)
I can run the business and make time for fantasy
(These are the pieces of me)
Now I'm gonna make mistakes from time to time...
But in the end believe that I'm gone fly.
No matter if I'm wrong or if I'm right.(Ohhhhh)
(These are the pieces of me)
Chorus:
So when you look at my face...
You gotta know that I'm made of everything love and pain.
(These are the pieces of me)

Now I start to understand....
All that I am...
A woman Not afraid to be strong STRONG...

So when you look at my face...
You gotta know that I'm made of everything love and pain.

In the morning
Stuck in the middle, I can see where I've been
My eyes are open and I know where I'm going
So much is in the way
There are people who like being negative
And they always got something to say
They say you'll never be what you want to be
And that you'll never get what's so far
Ooh, I'm trying hard, gotta hold my tongue
Times like this, I wish I really could say
I wanna tell them shut up, I'm moving up
No time for the haters, working hard to be greater
You need to shut up, I'm climbing up
This is the calling, I don't see myself falling
So shut up
Working hard every day to be noticed
[Incomprehensible]
They don't want the best for you
There are people around being jealous
'Cause they wish that they could do what you do
They say you'll never be what you hope to be
And that you'll never shine like the stars
Ooh, you're trying hard, gotta hold your tongue
Times like this, I know you wish you could tell them
Tell them shut up, I'm moving up
No time for the haters, working hard to be greater
They need to shut up, I'm climbing up
This is the calling, I don't see myself falling
So shut up, I'm moving up
No time for the haters, working hard to be greater
They need to shut up, I'm climbing up
This is the calling, I don't see myself falling
So shut up
Please forgive me, I don't mean to be rude
This is not my normal behavior
When people say them things
To knock me off my brains
I can't help it, gotta tell them
Shut up, I'm moving up
No time for the haters, working hard to be greater
They need to shut up, I'm climbing up
This is the calling, I don't see myself falling
So shut up, I'm moving up
No time for the haters, working hard to be greater
They need to shut up, I'm climbing up
This is the calling, I don't see myself falling
So shut up
Shut up, shut up
This is real
Yeah, even when I'm on my own
I know I'm not alone
'Cause you got me
And when others try to turn me down
I'm gonna stand my ground
Like you told me
See I
I think that you were sent from heaven to protect me
That's why
I don't mind doing anything you ask me
I'll lay down my life for you
I am here, I am, this is what you did for me
I can shine, I can shine
I'll be here for you, you just stood back and you
Let me shine, let me shine
You, you let me, you let me shine
You, you let me, you let me shine
Must have done something right
To have you by my side
[Incomprehensible]
When everybody else held out
You held me down
Just like you said you would
Ain't nobody on the planet that can touch you
(Ain't nobody, ain't nobody, no)
Oh, and you gotta know
From the bottom of my heart I'll always love you
I'll lay down my life for you
I am here, I am, this is what you did for me
I can shine, I can shine
I'll be here for you, you just stood back and you

That's the way I like my coffee
It's like the way you wake me up, like Folgers in my cup
You get me all excited, I'm thinking 'bout how you do your
Slow, steady serve, the way that I prefer
Go back to where we were, I always remember
Way you pour your love, I can't get enough

Still you play my mind, you keep me on my prime
I'm so glad you're mine, I think that I'm addicted

You see it on my face, my heart about to race
I'm trying to keep the peace, make me wanna get a taste that
Dark creamy love, right on the spot, good to the last drop
How you keep it up is a mystery but it's right for me
I need it in the morning on the crack of dawning
Gets me going so keep it flowing
And make no mistake, no debate

Piling brown sugar all up in my mix
First round at the table
Put it down on the couch back

Black, as a matter of fact
I keep it clean but you know what I mean
Gotta serve it to me hot

Yeah baby
I wish that I could stay
But stayin' here confuses me more, so I'll go
'Cause there's someone else who cares for me like you do
You are my friend, and I don't wanna cross the line
It's so easy to make you mine
I keep pushin' you away
'Cause you give me what I miss at home
I'm goin' through changes
And how do I let you go?
My mind is goin' through changes, goin' through some changes, yeah
And I can't let him go
Please don't touch me there
Temptation wants to rule me
I can't do what my body is callin' out for
I'm so confused
You know what I like, and you wanna give me all of you
And I think about it, too
But I keep goin' through these changes
'Cause there's so much that I miss at home
I'm goin' through changes
How do I let you go? I gotta get it together, ooh, ooh, ooh
My mind is goin' through changes
And I can't let him go
I know what you want, I know what you want
Everything' about us will change, it's gonna change
Everything I feel says stay here with you
I wanna stay here with you
I don't really know what to do
I don't know what to do
I can't get nothin' at home, nothin'
The more I think about it, I'm so confused, so confused
I'm goin' through some changes
I'm goin' through changes, and how do I let you go?
My mind is goin' through changes, some changes
And I can't let him go
I'm goin' through changes, don't know what to do, don't know what
How do I let you go?
My mind is goin' through changes, goin' through some changes
And I can't let him go
I'm goin' through changes, goin' through some changes
How do I let you go?
My mind is goin' through changes
And I can't let him go
Coffee with cream coming up right away
You look, I look, we smile, we wave
You go, I dream about kissing one day
Oh well I sigh, maybe tomorrow when he comes again
I'll finally get to say what I've been wanting to say
I wanna get to know you
How can I get to know you
I wanna get to know you
Know you better
I wanna get to know you
How can I get to know you
I wanna get to know you
Know you better
Hanging with my girls, night-time, another world
High heels, blue jeans, he's looking at me
He takes my hand "would you like to dance? "
I say okay and then he starts to say to me
The words that I've waited to hear, the phrase that's no longer a dream
I wanna get to know you
How can I get to know you
I wanna get to know you
Know you better
I wanna get to know you
How can I get to know you
I wanna get to know you
Know you better
You are
The meaning of everything beautiful
I can't wait to breathe your air
That smile
What a pleasure for me just to look at you
I can't wait to do whatever
I wanna get to know you
How can I get to know you
I wanna get to know you
Know you better
I wanna get to know you
How can I get to know you
I wanna get to know you
Know you better

My skin is black

My name is peaches
I went away for the weekend.
I sat back and started thinkin'.
And when it came to mind, I began to smile 'cause it's so true, it's so true.
Things never stay, the way I want them to be.
When I was younger back then, it was simplicity.
People care too much, but like the seasons; it all has changed.
I wish it wouldn't be that way.
[Chorus:]
Can't bring back what used to be, life don't stay the same. Thinkin' 'bout what used to be. Everything changes. (Life always changes) Everything changes, changes.
There was a time when I gave up on people.
Disappointment just led me to be alone.
Then one day I was told, to just stand on my own, and it's so true, it's so true.
Just forgive no regrets, gon on and live and forget it.
You can't go back again, learn to live in the present.
Learn from your mistakes, like the seasons it all has changed. Oh, everyghing must change.
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
Oh it's time to heal. Time to love. Time to let go and time to move on. It's alright to laugh. It's alright to cry. It's alright to be and choose life. (Mmmm mmmmhmm)
[Intro:]
I tried I can't
I don't wanna do this
Let me go
I tried we tried
I can't do this
[Verse 1:]
Phone calls
Hang ups
Break downs
Break ups
People always make up
But sometimes it never last
When the pain is too deep
So bad that you can't sleep
You fussing fighting
Can't take back what's already been done
Ain't no more to say
Ain't no more to do yeah
You got to move on
You try your best and you can't turn it loose
It's time for you to let it go
How do you say no
You you gotta move on
[Chorus:]
I tried you tried we tried
Time to move on
I gotta move on
I tried we tried
It's time time to move on
[Verse 2:]
We said we would
Always be one
Different journeys
Too many changes
It wasn't meant to be
My souls burnin'
Trying to let go of the pain
No more dreaming
Can't take back what's already been done
Change
I gotta get over you
What we had is through
Baby I don't wanna do this
Ain't got no regrets
Now it's time for next
Baby I know you know
Baby we tried
We don't know what to say
We've done all we can do
We gotta move on
For some reasons we can't turn it loose
I'm always gonna care about you
But I gotta live without you
We gotta move on
[Chorus:]
I tried you tried we tried
Time to move on
Time to move on
I tried we tried
It's time time to move on
You gotta let me go
Baby just let me go
You gotta let me go
You gotta let me go
When you gon' let it go
Baby just let me go
[Chorus:]
I tried you tried we tried
Time to move on

It's time time to move on
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
You gotta let me go
[Verse:]
Love
You said you'd never go away
But your gone, and I'm right back where I used to be
Wondering if you really were for me
Love
Why did you have to go away
That was so much love that I gave to you
Is there someone out there with a love that is true
[Chorus:]
I need love
Somebody to touch me
Somebody who wants to be with me only
I need love
Somebody to hold me
Tell me that they love me
Never gonna let me go
I need love
Somebody to touch me
Somebody who wants to be with me only
I need love
Somebody who loves
Somebody who wants to be with me only
I need love
[Verse:]
Love
I don't think I have much more to give to no one else
Maybe it's time for me to be by myself
Because it hurts to much to put my love on the shelf
Love
It's so hard to let it go, when your longing for love
I'll let go and I hope that it's true
When it's real love it will come back to you
[Chorus:]
I need love
Somebody to touch me
Somebody who wants to be with me only
I need love
Somebody to hold me
Tell me that they love me
Never gonna let me go
I need love
Somebody to touch me
Somebody who wants to be with me only
I need love
Somebody who loves
Somebody who wants to be with me only
I need love
[Bridge:]

[Verse 1:]
As the world turns
And the moon fades
And the sun begins to shine
Like the flowers
And the trees grow
You're always on my mind
[Pre-Chorus:]
I can't help but feel you all around me, even in my darkest hours (Yeah)
You bring peace of mind, You bring joy to my soul (Yeah)
[Chorus:]
Everywhere that I go
Everyday, everynight
I think of you (Yeah I think of you)
You're the air that I breathe
You're the love of my life
I think of you (Yeah, I think of you)
[Verse 2:]
Every second, every hour
Till time runs outta time (Oooh)
Like a river to a waterfall
I need you in my life
[Pre-Chorus:]
I can't help but feel you all around, feel you everywhere
You bring me peace of mind, you bring joy to my soul
[Chorus:]
Everywhere that I go
Everyday, everynight
I think fo you (I think of you, I think of you)
You're the air that I breathe
You're the love of my life
I think of you (Oh I think of you)
[Bridge:]
Oh ooooh
I think of you
Ooh... Yeah yeah yeah
Oh Ooooh
Thinking about you
Ooooh...
You mean the world to me (oh oh oh)
You're my everything (oh oh oh)
(I've been thinking of you) I've been thinking of you
Oh yeah
I've been thinking of you
[Chorus: x2]
Everywhere that I go
Everyday, everynight
I think of you (I think of you, I think of you)
You're the air that I breathe (You're my air)
You're the love of my life
I think of you
I can't do without you
I can't live without you
I can't love without you
Can't love...
Can't be there without you
You are my everything, my everything, my everything.
[Chorus:]
Everywhere that I go
Everyday, everynight
I think of you (I think of you, I think of you)
You're the air that I breathe
You're the love of my life
[Whisper:]
I need you, I need you
In the morning
Will you be there in the morning
To love me
Love me
Love me
I don't know what it is about your love
And what you've got that keeps me running back to you
Telling me lies saying things that will keep me from leaving
Be a man not a boy running from the truth
You're always
[Chorus:]
Leaving late at night
You never come home
And when we have a fight
Cause you're doing me wrong
Still I can't leave
You're leaving me wondering
Will you be there
In the morning
[Repeat]
Will you be there in the morning
Will you be there

We got a love so strong and I can't see me leaving
They don't understand the things that we go through

Telling you come home
Cause I need you here

Though you're far away from me, I still need you near me
What will it take for you to know, I want you here with me
What will I have to do to show; I need you here with me
This Christmas, could be the one that I get to hold you
This Christmas could be the one that I get to hold you (Hold you)
I decorate the tree and hope you'll be here by Christmas
I wish that I could touch your face, and tell you I love you
How do I smile and hide the pain, I miss you holding me
Don't let this Christmas be the same, I need you with me
This Christmas, could be the one, that I get to hold you
This Christmas, could be the one, that I get to hold you (Hold you)
You'll tide at Christmas seems so lost without you here with me
Baby this time, my wish will finally comfort me
So every eye, just prepare this Christmas just might be, the one, (that you'll be home to share this Christmas with me)
This Christmas, could be the one, that I get to hold you (Hold you)
This Christmas, could be the one, that I get to hold you

This Christmas, could be the one, that I get to hold you
(This Christmas, could be the one, that I get to hold you, hold you,
This Christmas could be the one that I get hold you...)
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
Silent night, holy night
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
Silent night, holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing alleluia
Christ, the Saviour is born
[Verse 1: Ledisi]
I called you yesterday
Your too busy to have a conversation
I'm trying hard to hold on to us but
Seems like you don't wanna stay
So tell me Why [Ledisi and Background]
Is it someone takin my time
Tell me what the truth is
I don't wanna do this
Ain't no use in trying to stay
If you gone turn me loose
Uh ah mmm [background]
If you gone turn me loose [x2]
[Verse 2: Ledisi]
Well you use to be sweet to me
Now it feels like a bad situation
You said you loved but you have changed
I'm tired of runnin
Runnin after you
So now I'm gone get my thangs and walk out the door
(I don't wanna hear it)
I know what the truth is
I ain't tryna do this
Ain't no use in tryin to stay
If you gone turn me loose
Baby yeah
If you gone turn me loose
Why should I stay?
[adlib]
You need to let me go baby
Turn me loose
Somebody gone want me

[Chorus:]
So now, I'm gone get my thangs and walk out the door
I don't wanna hear it

I ain't tryna do this
Ain't no use in tryna stay
If you gone turn me loose
If you gone turn me loose

If you gone turn me loose

You need to let it go
Uh ah mmm
Turn me loose! [x2]
Say what you gone do
If you gone
Say what you gonna do
SOMEBODY GONE TREAT ME RIGHT
Better than you!
Let me gooo
Baby baby
If I could change my world
Things would be the same
There would still be love and pain
'Cause without it I would never change
If I took back all the loving that made me cry
Would I ever realize
That I'm growing from mistakes that I made
To make me change?
Love, it will never go
Love, even when you go
It never leaves, no, no
Love never changes, love
Love, it will never go
Love, even when you go
It never leaves
Love never changes, love
That's why I know
All of this is clear to me
Love is for eternity
That's the way God wanted it to be
So I've learned time don't stay still and move fast
Nothing stays the same but love lasts
And I can't keep living in the past
I gotta change
Love, it will never go
Love, even when you go
It never leaves
Love never changes, love
Love, it will never go
Love, even when you go
It never leaves
Love never changes, love
Love never changes
Love won't leave
Love never changes
You have to believe when it's love
Love never changes, love
Love never changes
Love never leaves
Love is so graceful
You gotta believe when it's love
Love never changes, love
Love, it will never go
Love, even when you go
It never leaves
Love never changes, love
Love, it will never go
Love, even when you go
It never leaves
You can do what you want, be how you be
But I gotta fall back, boy 'cause this ain't me
Ooh baby, baby, I ain't trippin' over you
Go ahead and do you 'cause I'm a do me
But you just lost one and the one is me
Ooh baby, baby, I ain't trippin' over you
Mama told me watch out for bad boys but I didn't listen
Givin' all my stuff away for some hugs and kissin'
Not waitin' 'til I found the right one
I let you in you disrespect me now I'm done
What happened to you?
You're not what you said you were
The man I knew, you gave my love to her
Gotta let you go 'cause I can't take it no more, no more
You can do what you want, be how you be
But I gotta fall back, boy 'cause this ain't me
Ooh baby, baby, I ain't trippin' over you
Go ahead and do you 'cause I'm a do me
But you just lost one and the one is me
Ooh baby, baby, I ain't trippin' over you
There ain't nothin' you could possibly say to make me come back
Everythin' you did has displayed, you don't know how to act
I've given all I've given and I'm done
And I can't believe I almost played the fool again I'm done
The well is dry and I'm leavin' this time
You can dry your eyes, ain't no need to cry
I gotta let you go 'cause I can't take it no more
No more, no more, no more
You can do what you want, be how you be
But I gotta fall back, boy 'cause this ain't me
Ooh baby, baby, I ain't trippin' over you
Go ahead and do you 'cause I'm a do me
But you just lost one and the one is me
Ooh baby, baby, I ain't trippin' over you
Listen
Light that reflects in the mirror
Showing the essence of who I am
Made from pure perfection
I’m connected to the ONE therefore I AM
One to rise above all the ugliness
Evolve into a world of selflessness
I can see love and no love
can be higher than this
What can be higher than this
What can be higher than this
What can be higher than this
What can be higher than this
You will find love and no love
can be Higher than this
Feeling like everything going wrong
Take a step back and edit yourself
There’s a hero in you waitin’ to happen
Make the choice to take a chance
and save yourself
You gotta let go of your insecurity
Explore the passion in your possibilities
You will find love and no love
can be higher than this
What can be Higher than this
Love! Can’t nobody love me like you do
So I gotta tell the world that
You are in everything that I do
Love Ah
Can’t nobody love me like you do
There’s no love more higher than this
What can be higher than this
Uh Uh Higher Than This
I need someone to tell me
’cause I don’t see nothing else more
Uh Uh Uh Uh Higher than this
Don’t Nobody know the love that
I feel right now
What can be higher than this
There’s no love more higher than this
What can be higher than this
You will find Love
See all you got to do is just let HIM in
You will find Love
Anything you dream of is gonna to happen
You will find Love
Just let it go
There’s no love more higher than this
What can be higher than this
Ah can’t nobody love me like you do
So I gotta tell the world that
You are in everything that I do
Love Ah
Can’t nobody love me like you do
There’s no love more higher than this
What can be higher than this
I'm looking around and I see more of the same
People looking for purpose, someone to blame
As I'm on my quest for fame, every day the place is changed
As the humble trying to play the game
I figured it out, my dreams are bigger than me
Them taking much further than I thought it would be
I'm so glad that I believe that God has plans for me
Mama told me it will happen, you'll see
Yeah, yeah
Time for you to raise up
Time for you to get right
Time for you to get up
Time for you to be loud
Time for you to raise up
Get up, stand up, raise up
You gotta know who you are
You are meant for a purpose
Raising for you is meant to be
You are meant to be
I take a move forward 'til I let go off the past
I needed my freedom, I needed it bad
If we all could just forgive
It's the only way to live
I have more now than I ever had
Here's a part and it is written for you
Take your time to find the truth
What do you have to lose?
It's time for you to choose
No one else can do it for you
Time for you to raise up
Time for you to get right
Time for you to get up
Time for you to be loud
Time for you to raise up
Get up, stand up, raise up
You gotta know who you are
You are meant for a purpose
Raising for you is meant to be
You are meant to be
When judgment day comes, have you given your best?
Has the world been changed by the love that you left?
Forgive those who trespassed against you
Rise through the pain, let it go
What happened is done, it's time to live again
You gotta know who you are
You are meant for a purpose
Raising for you is meant to be
You are meant to be
Time for you to raise up
Time for you to get right
Time for you to get up
Time for you to be loud
Time for you to raise up
Get up, stand up, raise up
You gotta know who you are
You are meant for a purpose
Raising for you is meant to be
You are meant to be
Time for you to raise up
Time for you to get right
Time for you to get up
Time for you to be loud
Time for you to raise up
Get up, stand up, raise up
You gotta know who you are
You are meant for a purpose
Raising for you is meant to be
You are meant to be
Raise up, get up
Raise up, get up
Raise up, get up
Raise up, get up
Raise up, get up
[Verse 1:]
Lately it's been hard for me to get to fall asleep
Cause when you walked out, you walk into my dreams
Hearing these memories all in my head
Was it your voice that said? Come back to bed
I know there was a reason that I had to walk out
But now I can't remember what the fight was about
I know I was mad, said I was pissed
But it wasn't so bad, not worse then this
[Chorus:]
Cause I miss you now (Cause I miss you now)
I miss you now
Maybe you deserve another chance
Maybe your my man
Maybe we should try again
Cause I miss you now (Cause I miss you now)
I miss you now
Maybe it really wasn't our fault
Wasn't so bad at all
Maybe I should come back home
[Verse 2:]
Yo mama keep calling me, phoning my house
Asking me why you sleeping on her couch
How could we give up on something so good
I tried not to call, maybe I should
I don't wanna be the reason that it didn't work out
We put too much into it just to give up now
Let's call it a truce, got nothing to prove
Been gone for too long and I'm missing you
[Chorus:]
Cause I miss you now (Cause I miss you now)
I miss you now
Maybe you deserve another chance
Maybe your my man
Maybe we should try again
Cause I miss you now (Cause I miss you now)
I miss you now
Maybe it really wasn't our fault
Wasn't so bad at all
Maybe I should come back home
[Bridge:]
Maybe we can solve it by saying I'm sorry
Maybe we can take it back to where we started
I miss your kiss
Long for your love
One month without you, is more than enough
Maybe I just needed to breathe
I walked away now I can see
I'm lost without you
Don't know what to do
I called just to say
That I'm missing you
[Chorus:]
Cause I miss you now (Cause I miss you now)
I miss you now
Maybe you deserve another chance
Maybe your my man
Maybe we should try again
Cause I miss you now (Cause I miss you now)
I miss you now
Maybe it really wasn't our fault
Wasn't so bad at all
Maybe I should come back home
Alright
This life can make me so confused but it's alright
Living day by day I feel so used that ain't right
I just wanna run and hide
I don't have the time to cry it's alright (it's alright)
Alright
Many thoughts are running through my head, it's alright
Wishing to be somewhere else but here, it's alright
I can't wait to see your face
I need a smile and your embrace, and I'm alright
Alright
Life can bring us through many changes
Just don't give up
It's gonna be alright
People come and they go
It's just the way that it goes
Sometime the rain it makes me sad and it's alright
Some things in the world make me mad and it's alright
In the morning when I see the sun I know I'm not the only one
It's alright
Alright
Wish I had some money to pay my bills
I can't even buy that dress on sale but it's alright
Having money don't mean a thing
Loving you is everything
I'm alright
(life can bring us through many changes
Just don't give up
It's gonna be alright
People come and they go
That's just the way that it goes)
Everything is everything
People keep asking about this glow I have
'Cause I'm just not the same
They say I'm walking different, talking different
Looks like all of me has changed
Magic is in my eyes, I can no longer hide
When they look at me
What they fail to see
Is the love you got me feeling
Like I'm dancing on the ceiling
I can hardly breathe
'Cause you're all I need
So when they ask me why I'm smiling like a fool
I blame you
Oh, baby, I blame you
My mind is frozen, got me open of you love
Can't think of no one else
I smell the roses, doing poses in the mirror
You make me love myself
Magic is in my eyes, I can no longer hide
When they look at me
What they fail to see
Is the love you got me feeling
Like I'm dancing on the ceiling
I can hardly breathe
'Cause you're all I need
So when they ask me why I'm smiling like a fool
I blame you
Oh, baby, I blame you
I blame you
Oh, baby, I blame you
I blame you each and every day
It's your fault that I'm completely blown away
You've been building castles in the sky
A place for only you and I
I, I, I
I blame you
Oh, baby, I blame you
I blame you
Oh, baby, I blame you
When they look at me
What they fail to see
I blame you
I can hardly breathe
'Cause you're all I need
I blame you
I blame you
You
My mama done told me
When I was in pig tails
My mama done told me
"Honey, a man's gonna sweet talk
And give you the big eye
But when that sweet talkin's done
A man is a two-face, a worrisome thing
Who'll leave you to sing
The blues in the night
Now the rain is a-fallin'
Hear the train a-callin'
My mama done told me
Hear that lonesome whistle
Blowin' 'cross the trestle
My mama done told' me
Ol' clickety-clack's a-echoin' back
The blues in the night
The evenin' breeze'll start the trees to cryin'
And the moon will hide it's light
When you get the blues in the night
Take my word, the mockingbird'll the sing
The saddest kind of song
He knows things are wrong and he's right
And from Natchez to Mobil
From Memphis to St. Joe
Wherever the four winds blow
I've been in some big towns
And heard me some big talk
But there is one thing that I know
A man is a two-face, a worrisome thing
Who'll leave you to sing
The blues in the night
From Natchez to Mobil
From Memphis to St. Joe
Wherever the four winds blow
I've been in some big towns
And heard a lot of talking
But there is one thing that I know
A man is a two-face, a worrisome thing
Who'll leave you to sing
The blues in the night
I see couples walking in the hall
hugging, kissing, loving and all
I had a dream that was you and me
I thought it would happen, eventually
and in my dream I was holding you
I said I love you and you said it too
We walked together everywhere
I touched you softly while caressing your hair
You put your head on my shoulder to rest
the thing my shoulder is used for best
In my dream I made everything just right
to suit your gentle body all through the night
Nothing could go wrong in my dream
but then I woke up, and I just wanna scream
After that I could not sleep
I tried everything, even counting sheep
But all I could do was think of you
and of all the things that I could not do
Because in reality like today
you'll never let me treat you in that way
I wished that I could but it won't come true
I could never admit that I love you
And I think of this all through the night
only in my dreams could I hold you tight
But one day it all came true
the dream I had of me and you
I couldn't think of anything
There is distance between us making me feel like
I'm about to take a bus, plane, train or bike
Just so I can have you right by my side
Even if it's only for one night, oh
I can't help it, I'm enamored by you
I can't wait to explore
Your touch, your kiss, where's the door?
Gotta find a way to you, eh
I gotta get to you
I'm gonna get there right away
I can't wait to see you again, yeah
(I gotta get to you)
When I see you, I'm not letting go
Never gonna leave you again, no
(I gotta get to you, you)
Everything that's in the way
Still nothing's gonna change
Nothing's gonna keep me from you
(I gotta get to you, you)
Yeah, I gotta get to you
(You, you)
I gotta get to you
I gotta get to you
This is too much to handle and I can't breathe right
Keep looking at my watch getting so uptight
I just wanna get there looking in your eyes
Even if it's only for a night, oh
I can't imagine, what we're 'bout to feel
Everything in my body tells me that this is real
Your lips, your hands, almost there
Gotta find a way to you, eh
I gotta get to you
I'm gonna get there right away
I can't wait to see you again, yeah
(I gotta get to you)
When I see you, I'm not letting go
Never gonna leave you again, no
(I gotta get to you, you)
Everything that's in the way
Still nothing's gonna change
Nothing's gonna keep me from you
(I gotta get to you, you)
Yeah, I gotta get to you
(You, you)
I gotta get to you
I gotta get to you
(You're all I want)
And I can't wait to get to you
(I, I, I, I)
Oh, I can't wait
(Gotta find a way to you)
I gotta get to you
(I gotta get to you)
I'm gonna get there right away, eh
And I can't wait to get to you
(I gotta get to you)
Oh, when you see me, I'm not letting go
Never never, no
(I gotta get to you, you)
Everything that's in the way
Still nothing's gonna change
Nothing's gonna keep me from you
(I gotta get to you, you)
Gotta get to you, babe
(You, you)
Gotta get to you
Ooh, oh, yeah, yeah
(I gotta get to you)
I'm gonna get there right away, eh
And I can't wait to see you again
(I gotta get to you)
Ooh, I'm not letting go
Eh, yeah, yeah
(I gotta get to you, you)
Everything that's in the way
Still nothing's gonna change
Nothing's gonna keep me from you
(I gotta get to you, you)
I gotta get to you
(You, you)
I gotta get to you

Oh, even the man who has everything
Would be so happy if you would
Bring him love on Christmas Day
No greater gift is there than love
People you don't know smiling out hello
Everywhere there's an air of Christmas joy
It's that once a year when the world's sincere
And you'd like to find a way
To show the things that words can't say
Why don't you give love on Christmas Day?
The man on the street and the couple upstairs
All need to know there's someone cares
Give love on Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
No greater gift is there than love
What the world needs is love
Yes, the world needs your love
Why don't you give love on Christmas Day?
Oh, every little child on Santa's knee
Has room for your love underneath his tree
Give love on Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
No greater gift is there than love
What the world needs is love
Yes, the world needs your love
Give love on Christmas Day
Oh, even the man who has everything
Would be so happy if you would
Bring him love on Christmas Day
No greater gift is there than love
What the world needs is love
Give love on Christmas Day
Oh, everybody needs, we need love
Why don't you give love on Christmas Day?
Cannot believe
What He's done for me
So I had to write a song to say thank you
Was lost now I'm found
His love has turned me around
I just had to take the time to say thank you
Because of you I am able
To say and read all the things I am called to do
And everyday I'm so grateful
That's why I decided to dedicate this song to you
You bring me joy
You've changed my life
When I wake up every morning I just gotta say thank you
Cannot believe
What He's done for me
So I had to write a song to say thank you
Was lost now I'm found
His love has turned me around
I just had to take some time to say thank you
Some people might think I'm crazy
How I choose to show all the love that I have for you
Lord God you've given me everything
Above and beyond all the things I have asked of you
You bring me joy
You've changed my life
When I wake up every morning I just gotta say thank you
Cannot believe
What He's done for me
So I had to write a song to say thank you
Was lost now I'm found
His love has turned me around
I just had to take the time to say thank you
(X2)
My life, my strength, He has given me
Peace, love, joy and in the midst possibilities
I wish I had all the words to express all the love that He has given to me
I feel so blessed
Cannot believe
What He's done for me
Oh and I had to write a song to say thank you
Was lost now I'm found
His love has turned me around
Turn me around, I had to say thank you
I use to worry now
I never get to worry
Cos I know that you got me when the world has fallen down on me
When the world's always against me
You're there by my side
And u always found a way
That's way I gotta say thank you
They say that joy comes in the morning
And I'm so glad that you found me
And I had to take some time just to thank you
Thank you
Couldn't make it without ya
Couldn't be here without ya
Couldn't sing my song without ya
I gotta say thank
verse: tell me how
how did we get here
we keep runnin from all the answers
and leaving me here with questions
its not fare
why you never there
you keep leaving me here alone
please tell me what
what you wanna do
my heart belongs to you
and i dont know what to do
you say
that you still love me
its not in your actions so whats the distractions
were falling
falling apart
feels like our ending
its not like the start
please wont you tell me the truth
instead of always just leaving me here alone
choruse: alone
dont wanna be
alone
dont wanna be here alone(3x)
please wont u tell me the truth
instead of always just leaving me here alone
verse: please tell me
how did you and i become
then change from we to me
i see you changed
and im the one to blame
cause i noticed everything
and i never said a thing
so say whats on your mind
so we dont waste our time
tryna hold on to loose ties
oh baby
please wont you tell me the truth
instead of always just leaving me here alone
chorus: alone
dont wanna be
alone
dont wanna be here alone(3x)
please wont u tell me the truth
instead of always just leaving me here alone
bridge: if im apart of you
and your apart of me
then why cant we talk it out
and bring it back to we
you said forever youd never leave
its worth more than everything
and thats what i believe
the choses your making are breaking us up
your making it hard to identify love
im tryna keep us together
the only way to make it better
is dont let me be alone
chorus: alone
dont wanna be
alone
dont wanna be here alone(3x)
please wont u tell me the truth
I can't remember why my memories fade
Covered by the past that my history's made
Yesterday and everything in between
Has got me thinking about tonight and everything that i've seen
I'm singing not gonna wait for tomorrow
I'm living today
I'll take it anyway
I'm gonna take it all in the day and i'm gonna be fine
I'll take it anyway
Cause today i'm not afraid to take my time
All of this time is slowly stealing the day
There's nothing like the feeling that life's
Slipping away
Am i the only one under the sun
Who feels like it's all over before it's begun
I'm singing not gonna wait for tomorrow
I'm living today
I'll take it anyway
I'm gonna take it all in the day and i'm gonna be fine
I'll take it anyway
Cause today i'm not afraid to take my time -
Forget your problems
And ignore your headaches
Just turn up the radio and drive away
I'll take it anyway
I'm gonna take it all in the day and i'm gonna be fine
I'll take it anyway
Cause today i'm not afraid to take
My time
My time
My time
You Carved the Runes Into My Bones and Signed Them Up For Me
I Still Don't Know What's On Your List and What's Prepared For Me
You Killed the Fairies in My Dreams, You Poured Their Blood On Me
If I Only Knew Your Plans, I'd Drink It Happily
I Hate to Be in Love With You But Put the Blame On Me
You're Innocent Just Like a Gun, You Love Me Dangerously
Your Body Seems to Be Unreal, Your Touch Is Like the Sea
And When I Gaze Upon Your Smile the Devil Grins At Me
But If I Lost Your Gleaming Look I'd Lose the Light in Me
As Long As I Can Feel the Pain I Burn Fantastically
I Hate to Be in Love With You But Put the Blame On Me
You're Innocent Just Like a Gun, You Love Me Dangerously
You Brought the Stars Right Down to Me, You Smashed Them On the Ground
You Ripped the Moon Out of Its Place and Turned It Upside Down
Maybe You Thought I'd Take It Cool But I Feel Like I'm Cursed
Armed With the Rapture of a Fool I Ruin My Universe
I Hate to Be in Love With You But Put the Blame On Me
You're Innocent Just Like a Gun, You Love Me Dangerously
.you Carved the Runes Into My Bones and Signed Them Up For Me
I Still Don't Know What's On Your List and What's Prepared For Me...
...for Me
...for Me
