Monica Denise Brown (née Arnold; born October 24, 1980) professionally known as Monica, is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, and occasional actress. Born and raised in College Park, Georgia, Monica began performing as a child and became part of a traveling gospel choir, by the time she was ten. Guided by producers Dallas Austin and Tim & Bob, she signed with Arista Records at age thirteen and released her debut album Miss Thang in 1995. Its first two singles "Don't Take It Personal" and "Before You Walk out of My Life" made her the youngest recording act to ever have two consecutive chart-topping hits on the US Billboard Top R&B Singles chart.
In 1998, Arnold's second album The Boy Is Mine earned her major international chart success. Pushed by its number-one hit title track, a duet with singer Brandy, it spawned two further chart-toppers, "The First Night" and "Angel of Mine", and established her position as one of the most successful of the urban R&B female vocalists to emerge in the mid to late-1990s. During the production of her third album All Eyez on Me (2002), Arnold experienced personal struggles and her career went under hiatus. In 2003, her fourth album After the Storm was released on J Records, and after an unsuccessful period, she scored her fifth number one single, "So Gone". Her latest album Still Standing, whose recording was tracked by a BET reality series of the same name, was released in 2010 and produced the hit singles "Everything to Me" and "Love All Over Me", the first of which became Arnold's sixth number one hit.
Verse 1:
Didn't think I'd be without you
Didn't think that I would see
Didn't think that I would lose my love
How could this happen to me
I must have took for granted
That you would always be there baby, believe
Sometimes I sit and wonder
When everything is over
How can I go on
Knowing that you're gone
Sometimes I sit and wonder
When everything is done
Will I ever get over you being my love
Chorus:
The only one for me
Wanting you so much
That I don't know what to do
Strung out on your love
Baby, I been missing you
Crazy for your touch
Lonely without you
I be missing you so much, yea
Verse 2:
Can't take one night without you
Don't wanna do anything
But sit around and think of
How I want you with me
Just can't erase these feelings
Somehow I know that time will make it better
Sometimes I sit and wonder
When everything is over
How can I go on
Knowing that you're gone
Sometimes I sit and wonder
When everything is done
Will I ever get over you being my love
Chorus to end
Sit yourself down boy and talk to me
Tell me what's on your mind
Don't keep on telling me everything's okay
Cause if it was then you wouldn't be crying
You been acting real funny when I see you lately
Sitting around poutin' all day long

Let's straighten it out
Yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, oh
Listen
Boy, it's been a long time
Since the last time, I saw you
Feels like nothin' changed since we've been together
I must admit that I go crazy 'bout you
And I can see it in your eyes
That there's somethin' you want to say to me
'Cause usually right now you'd be holdin' on to me
But instead you're tellin' me
The things have changed, they're not the same
And recently you found someone that you
Decided to dedicate your whole life to
And what we had has got to be through
And baby, what hurts the most is letting go
I just want you to know that I love you so
I know things are different now, you've gone and settled down
And I thought for sure you'd always wait for me
I'll tell you what hurts the most is I should have took the chance
Boy, when you came to me and offered me your hand
Silly of me, I thought, I'd always have your heart
I had the chance to have all the love, oh, how I'm missing you now
I hate that there is someone new
Comin' in and takin' my place
Doin' the things that we used to do
And makin' love to you
And oh, what am I supposed to do?
It's killin' me 'cause I want you
And you should have known my love was true
And there's no one else in this world for me but you
But things have changed, they're not the same
And recently you found someone that you
Decided to dedicate your whole life to
And what we had has got to be through
And baby, what hurts the most is letting go
I just want you to know that I love you so
I know things are different now, you've gone and settled down
And I thought for sure you'd always wait for me
I'll tell you what hurts the most is, I should have took the chance
Boy, when you came to me and offered me your hand
Silly of me, I thought, I'd always have your heart
I had the chance to have all the love, oh, how I'm missing you now
I know that I'm the one to blame for losing you, oh yeah
I really, really wish that I could be happy for you
There's just one thing I need you to do
Don't you touch her like you used to touch me
Don't you love her like you really need me
Don't you love her like you used to love me
And baby, what hurts the most is letting go
I just want you to know that I love you so
I know things are different now, you've gone and settled down
And I thought for sure you'd always wait for me
I'll tell you what hurts the most is, I should have took the chance
Boy, when you came to me and offered me your hand
Silly of me, I thought, I'd always have your heart
I had the chance to have all the love, oh, how I'm missing you
What hurts the most is letting go
Just to let you know, I love you so
What hurts the most is letting go
Just to let you know, I love you so
What hurts the most
I was all alone, I was feeling rather low
I needed someone to lift my spirits up
So I dropped in on a dance
Just to take a glance and there this lovely thing was
She was more than enough, I asked her for her hand
Said would you like to dance, so pleased that I had asked
She quickly took my hand
And we danced and fell in love, on a slow jam
Play another slow jam, this time make it sweet on a slow jam
For my baby and for me
Play another slow jam, this time make it sweet on a slow jam
For my baby and for me
Seems what you say is true, I feel the same way too
You see I waited all night long just to dance with you
And when you touched my hand
I knew you were the man
To turn my world around, and make my dreams come true
The magic in your eyes made me realize
That everything I feel has got to be real
And we danced and fell in love, on a slow jam
Play another slow jam, this time make it sweet on a slow jam
For my baby and for me
Play another slow jam, this time make it sweet on a slow jam
For my baby and for me
I've been trying to find someone
Who I can give my good lovin' to
Never, ever did I dream
I'd find someone
Now I've been tryin' to find someone too
I prayed to heaven and then I found you
I swear I fell in love the night
You danced into my heart
Play another slow jam, this time make it sweet on a slow jam
For my baby and for me
Play another slow jam, this time make it sweet on a slow jam
Chorus:
I should I should
Make a move, but I won't
I know you probably think something is wrong
Knew that it won't be right I wanna get down, but not the first night
Monica - Verse 1:
Saturday Night
Feeling kinda light
I wanna get close to you and let you call me your baby
Know it ain't right
It's just the first night
Sitting here looking and it's driving me crazy
Knew it was wrong for feeling this way
The thought of giving in on the first date
Couldn't let go it stayed on my mind
At the end of the night I had to decide
I was thinking...
Repeat Chorus 2x
Monica - Verse 2:
My body's telling me yes
You put me to the test
But I don't know how much longer I can keep my composure
Trying my best to deal with all of this
But at the same time I can feel us getting closer
Felt so right, but it felt so wrong
And look how we are carrying on
Trying to say things to get me to stay
But my watch is telling me it's getting too late
I'm thinking...
Repeat Chorus 2x
JD:
Tonight little kiss touch
We ain't gotta do all of that stuff
I'm just sitting here trying to chill with you
We ain't gotta rush
I just wanna ball with you
In and out the mall with you
Out of town on the phone all night call with you
Cheat Cheat
Baby I do my shit correct
You and me just met
You ain't supposed to be ready yet
Cause u don't know if I just want sex
And I don't know if you want my checks
Even though u probably expect for me to be kissing on your neck
Now Baby
R.O.C:
If you show me yours
I'll show you mine
I see u get hot and I know it's time
At 69 we can draw the line
Or you could give me yours and I'll owe you mine
When I meet the girl
Creep the girl
I freak the girl, I please the girl
If you need the girl, man keep the girl
Better hope R.O.C. don't see the girl
If I should I should make a move
Make it smooth
Take her to that crib
Lay her back put her in a groove
Make her ahh, make her ooh
Cause money come money go
So do a honey though
Love when they go "how low?"
Front, back, to the floor
Now keep on working that
Where Jersey at? Where Jersey at?
Repeat Chorus 2x
Bridge:
If u want me
You got to know me
And if you want my love you gotta wait my love
Baby that's the way it's got to be
Get to know me so we can do this
Repeat Chorus til the end
Under a lamp light
Monica stands at midnight,
And every guy think he can buy her love,
But money can't buy sweet lovin' from Monica.
Morning to moonshine,
Monica knows every line.
Don't ever propose 'cause Monica knows, you know.
She'll turn up her nose and say what a fool you are.
I, I shall die,
I, I shall die if I should lose Monica.
(Oh Monica my love.)
People can try,
People can try, but they can't buy Monica, my love.
You take the sunshine,
I'll take the nightly shadows.
'Cause everyone knows that Monica glows at night.
She'll do something wrong and prove to you she is right.
I, I shall die,
I, I shall die if I should lose Monica.
(Oh Monica my love.)
People may try,
People may try, but they can't buy Monica, my love.
Morning to moonshine,
Monica knows every line.
Don't ever propose 'cause Monica knows, you know.
She'll turn up her nose and say what a fool you are.
Monica.
I remember Monica
At the US Open
She mighta been 16
Couldn't've been much more
Answering some questions
And giggling, I'd never seen
Someone so alive on TV before
Do you remember Monica
Shrieking on her backhand
Disguising herself as she went out at night
Coloring her hair
Like someone was telling her
Lay low, invisible, and out of sight
And then, Monica
The blade came, Monica
Like God spitting on you, a knife in your back
We read it in the paper
Then moved on to other things
But for you all the colors, fade to black
And oh, Monica
There you are, Monica
On the cross with Jesus and Martin Luther King
Just like John Lennon, by that hotel
You have to pay for our sins
Was it like being raped?
Was it like being dead?
Like a bad movie over and over again?
And then, did everyone who came close to you
Suddenly hold a knife in their hand?
And now you're back, Monica
Grim and hammering
Trying not to think about that thing, then
And I hope that you win
Every medal you can win
But it may never be much fun again
And oh, Monica
There you are, Monica
On the cross with Jesus and Martin Luther King
Just like John Lennon, by that hotel
You have to pay for our sins
Just like Jesus, by that hotel
Io amore mio
Io senza di te
Non so cosa farei
Dei giorni miei
Senza di te
Io che non so dire mai
Che amo te
Con questa lettera
Dirò che negli occhi e nella mente
Ho solo te
Di giorno, di notte
Ti amo, ti amo di più
Amore mio sempre vivrò
Io amore mio
Io senza di te
Non so cosa farei
Dei giorni miei
Senza di te
Anima mia
Sono felice e triste
Davanti alla scuola mi hai detto sì
Ma ora che sono lontano
Pensa
E a mezzanotte fissa una stella
E lì ci incontreremo
Ora sono contento sai
Davanti a me ho qua la tua immagine
E tu anche senza dire niente
Hai capito che
Di giorno, di notte
Ti amo, ti amo di più
Amore mio sempre vivrò
Io amore mio
Io senza di te
Non so cosa farei
Dei giorni miei
Senza di te
Io amore mio
Io senza di te
Non so cosa farei
Dei giorni miei

CHORUS TO FADE
da da da da dum
um um
yeah yeah, oh, ho oh oh
oh wo
um, can I talk to you for a minute?
inseparable, that's how we were
through anything, you were my world
i gave to you, you shared with me
for the love of you, i'd give anything
i would chill with you
you and your crew
never complained 'bout the things you do
but it see it now, how it all went down
can't take no more
don't want you around
never told me the whole truth
now i'm wishing that i knew
the real you...
how could you do this to me?
never hurt so much
i see, plans i made for you and me
they can't be...
these are the last tears that you'll see from me
cause i ain't gonna cry no more
cause i'm sick of you hurting me
i ain't gonna cry no more
'cause you don't deserve me
i ain't gonna cry no more
pack your stuff up and leave
i ain't gonna cry no more
cause i'm tired of you, me and she
and now i can't believe all the things you did
all your secret trips, just to see your kids
what about the crib that i've never been?
is that the one that she lives in?
but soon you'll see
that the man he's not
the "un-love" affair will soon be forgot
and you will miss me, but i won't miss you
you can pull the key, cause now we're through
never told me the whole truth
never wishing that i knew the real you...
you didn't have to do what you did to me
never hurt so much i see
plans we made for you and me
they can't be
these are the last tears that you see from me
used to think that you and me were in love for sure, but iwas wrong because
but you led me on, but i was wrong
but now i found i don't need you around
you gotta bounce
i'm tired
ain't gonna cry
i ain't gonna cry
it's not the fact that it's your baby
but it's the fact that you lied
and you hurt me
pack your stuff and leave
i'm sick of you
i'm through with you
i'm done with you
i'm tired of you
i'm tired of your lies
When I think of what i've done
All the pain that I brung
Baby you should've walked out on me
And when I turned away from you whenever there were hard times
How could you still be with me
And it was no mistake when I hurt you that day
And went out with sombody new
But still you forgave me like it was so easy
I should've been better TO you
Baby it breaks my heart
To think that lovin' me is not easy to do
And I don't mean to make it hard
Sorry for all the changes I put you through
And it's hard to believe
After everything you're still right beside me
Wouldn't trade you for this whole world
Thankful just being your girl
Never gave you my heart
Cause I never thought
You deserved any of me
I never told you how I felt
When deep inside I knew that
You're really what I need
And I always gave you up
Whenever I thought something better comes along
And right when I come back
You're waiting for me
And you welcomed me home.
And if it takes my whole life
I'll make it up to you
Cause I've been so cruel
You've given your love to me
Inspite of everything
Idon't deserve you
From this day forward
I'm truly yours
and it took me a while to see
That we were meant for one another
Oh oh oh, oh yeah yes, oh oh oh, my, my
Here we are face to face
With the memories that can't be erased
Although we need each other
Things have changed, it's not the same
Sometimes it makes me wonder
Where would I be, if you hadn't discovered
Which I did, inside of me
I know there was something, that we could compare
Oh, well, I,
1-Never meant to cause you no pain
I just wanna go back to being the same
Well I, only wanna make things right
Before you walk out of my life
Remembering the good times
>From a portrait hung on high
It's filled with so much color
And the laughter we left behind
I made the choice and you couldn't decide
I made the choice, I was wrong you were right
Deep down inside, I apologize
(rpt 1)
Though I made plans with you
To always have time for you
(Before you walk out of my life)
I guess it's true, cannot live without you
Don't ever go away, ooh oh yeah
(rpt 1, 1)
Before you walk out of my life
See ya from across the room
It's Friday night and
I'm going to a party
With my man, to dance
As soon as we get in
He is lost with his friends and
I'm there, in a trance
I can tell that someone's looking at me
And I didn't come here by myself
But he left me here at someone else's feet
So it must mean he didn't care
I'm goin' on
See you from across the room
Like you wanna know me
If you wanna make a move
Meet me on the dance floor
Though I'm here with someone else
He's not what I'm looking for
Instead I've seen him 'cross the room
Meet me on the dance floor
As the night goes on
Each dance makes me wonder
What is on, your mind
More than a dance as you pull
Up to me it feels, alright
Let me know what you wanna do
Can't you tell that I'm missing you
Let me know that you're right on time
Cause I'm lookin for someone else tonight
See you from across the room
It's friday night and i'm going to a party
with my man to dance
Soo as we get in he is lost with his friends
and i'm there in a trance
Bridge:
I can tell that someone's looking at me
And I didn't come here by myself
But he left me here as someones else's......
So it must be he didn't care
I'm goin on
Chorus:
See you from across the room
Like you wanna know me boy
If you wanna make a move
Meet me on the dance floor
Thought i'm here with someone else
He's not what i'm looking for
Instead of sittin' cross da room
Meet me on the dance floor
As the night goes on each glance,
makes me wonder what is on your mind
More than a dance as you,
pull up to me and it feels alright
(Bridge)
(Chorus)
Let me know what you wanna do
Can you tell that i'm into you
I'm lettin' you know that your right on time
Cause i'm looking for someone else tonight
(Chorus)
Now here's the situation
Lack of communication
It's tearing our love apart
You play me like a ninny
Cause I won't give you any
Now you won't call me at all
But if you want me (yeah)
I'll be there in a minute
If you need me
I'll show you I care for you
And I'll always (always)
I'll always gonna be there for you, oh oh ah
Love me, yeah
Boy I'll be your angel
Love me baby
Love me, yeah
Boy I'll be your angel
Angel baby
So much for your commitment
You told me you were different
From all the creeps that I know
Though you say you love me
That don't make it right
If you aim boy, then I'll promise you all of me
But if you want me
I'll be there in a minute
If you need me
I'll show you I care for you
And I'll always (always)
I'll always gonna be there for you, oh oh yeah
Love me, yeah

(Missy)
Dont you ever interrupt me when I'm listening to a Monica record
(Crowd)
Ohhhhhh
(Missy)

Straight out the slumming streets of A-T-L

through the hurricanes, torandoes, and thunderstorms
The climate has now changed
And the storm is now over
I repeat the storm is now over
Let us begin
Hey yo Monica turn the volume up
When I first saw you I already knew
There was something inside of you
Something I thought that I would never find
Angel of mine
I looked at you, lookin' at me
Now I know why they say the best things are free
I'm gonna love you boy you are so fine
Angel of mine
How you changed my world, you'll never know
I'm different now, you helped me grow
You came into my life sent from above
When I lost all hope you showed me love
I'm checkin' for you boy you're right on time
Angel of mine
Nothing means more to me than what we share
No one in this whole world can ever compare
Last night the way you moved is still on my mind
Angel of mine
What you mean to me, you'll never know
Deep inside I need to show
You came into my life sent from above
(Sent from above)
When I lost all hope, you showed me love
(Boy you showered me love)
I'm checkin' for you, boy you're right on time
(Right on time)
Angel of mine
(Angel of mine)
I'll never knew I could feel each moment
As if it were new
Every breath that I take, the love that we make
I only share it with you
(You, you, you, you)
When I first saw you I already knew
There was something inside of you
Something I thought that I would never find
Angel of mine
You came into my life sent from above
(Came into my life)
When I lost all hope you showed me love
(Boy you showed me love)
I'm shakin' for you, boy you're right on time
(But boy your right on time)
Angel of mine
(Angel of mine, oh mine)
How you changed my world, you'll never know
I'm different now, you helped me grow
I look at you, lookin' at me
Now I know why they say the best things are free
I'm checkin' for you, boy you're right on time
Angel of mine
It's A Shame You Ain't Want It When You Had It, hey
Gave My Love And You Took The Shit For Granted, hey
And It Was Me Those Nights That You Didn't Come Home
Crying To My Momma Blowing Up Your Phone
Just Wait A Little While Baby You Gon' See
That This Gon' Hurt You More Than It Hurts Me
One Thing That I Know For Sure
Is You Gon' Miss Me When I Go
And It's Gon' Hurt Babe
When You're All Alone
I Guess It's True What People Say
You Never Know
What You Have Until It's Gone
You Can Never Say I Didn't Try, hey
Gave My All But I Couldn't Make You Fight, hey
And It Was Me Those Nights That You Didn't Come Home
Crying To My Momma Blowing Up Your Phone
Just Wait A Little While Baby You Gon' See
That This Gon' Hurt You More Than It Hurts Me
One Thing That I Know For Sure
Is You Gon' Miss Me When I Go
And It's Gon' Hurt Babe
When You're All Alone
I Guess It's True What People Say
That You Never Know
What You Have Until It's Gone
And I Can't say Enough That It's Gon' Be Me Who Miss No
And I Can't say Enough That It Ain't Gon' get No Better than this
I'm Tryna Make You Realize
I Cried And I Cried So Many Times
But One Thing I Know, thing I know
It's Gon' Hurt When You Go
But One Thing That I Know Babe
One Thing That I Know For Sure
Is You Gon' Miss Me When I Go
And It's Gon' Hurt Babe
You're All Alone
I Guess It's True What People Say
You Never Know
I Guess It's True What People Say
You Never Know
What You Have Until It's Gone, gone, gone
[Verse 1:]
Baby I love it
All your future dreams and everything you promised me
Baby I love it
The material things but they don't mean that much to me
It could all go, tomorrow but your the only one I'll ever need
If I can't please you and you can't please me
Then call me a taxi
[Bridge:]
I will give it all away, take everything I have from me
There ain't nothing that can take your place, cause love ain't material things
I don't care if we don't have much, we still got love, it should be enough
But if I can't please you and you can't please me
Then call me a taxi
[Chorus:]
Money ain't everything
I could've been everything you needed babe
And if you want me to stay, I'm telling you something has got to change
We could struggle to the end or just don't let go, love is all we really need
But if you think money makes me happy
Then call me a taxi
[Verse 2:]
Baby don't stress your mind cause riches ain't worth a dime
(No it ain't worth it)
If it takes all your time
I'm here left alone, I cry
I can't gamble if I don't know what's inside
But if you rather your beings instead of me
Please call me a taxi
[Chorus:]
Money ain't everything
I could've been everything you needed babe
And if you want me to stay, I'm telling you something has got to change
We could struggle to the end or just don't let go, love is all we really need
But if you think money makes me happy
Then call me a taxi
[Verse 3:]
Let's be clear on what is real
Cause if we don't then I'll lose this feel
Ain't nothing wrong with reaching goals
But what matters to me the most
Is that further down the road, we could finally be everything that I wished for
(If we can't be happy babe, call me...)
[Chorus:]
Money ain't everything
I could've been everything you needed babe
And if you want me to stay, I'm telling you something has got to change
We could struggle to the end or just don't let go, love is all we really need
But if you think money makes me happy
We gone set this shit off on the 1 and 2 and 3
On the 1 2 3
I got a nigga me and him we be chillin'
We like to kick it he be feelin' what I'm feelin'
We got plans understand he want some children
Cuz together we forever so appealin'
Youse a cute picture
Im finna get with ya
Put it on you
Make you wonder what hit ya
The type of nigga making 7 figures
Every girl be after them go suger
And he talk slicker
He pack a big kicker
The best to do it yet the way his tongue flicker
Ooh a good looker
I gotta book ya
Tell them girls to get back cuz i already took ya
My man be doin me right girl
(doin me right doin me right)
He give me what i like
We make love all night girl
My man be doin me right girl
My baby not a playa
He's with me everywhere
And when im feelin' down
He tells me baby stay up
He's always straight up and never will we break up
He'd call to say I love you that's how we'd make up
Trips to Jacob like a snowflaker
Shine so bright he make the dead wake up
Great lover know how to handle flavor
Keep my face sweaty till there's no more make up
It feels so good to be so in loveand have someone right by your side
Treatin' you right, doin' you right
Aint no sense whining about it now
I mean we knew what it was when we became apart of it, feel me
{Monica}
Yeah
Its Like
There’s something on your mind, I can see right through you
I know your girl been treating you wrong
But she aint no good for you, why do u hold it inside
Boy you should let me know, I just want to make you right
Be the one you could cry on
Baby, its like, its like I love my wife
We going through things and I aint going home tonight
You got time for a nigga or is he still with you
Wanna meet at the same spot or should I come get you
I’ll be there in 10, be in the front
I been getting what I need so imma give you what you want
One on one cuz you know how to talk to dog
You walk the dog and understand that New York is hard
You aint gotta go home tonight
You can stay right here with me (I aint goin nowhere when you wake up im gonna be right there)
Don’t you worry bout a thing (I aint worried about shit)
You’re here with me (Look its like I love my wife
We going through things and I aint going home tonight alright)
It’s kinda strange when you call she is never home
Now your there all alone and you deserve so much more
Baby, I can treat you better than she can
It doesn’t make sense to keep on loving and keep on trusting
When in return all you get is nothing
Damn, you got me fucked up and im feeling it more
Never had a mistress distressed before
Come on ma, like it aint that deep
Like there aint no love there like I don’t hate that I gotta creep
We go to sleep in each others arms
And I feel like this is where I belong
And if loving you is right then I aint wrong
This is the same ol’ song, wife and fam’
Gotta be a father and husband but I am still ya man
Baby
You aint gotta go home tonight
You can stay right here with me (I aint goin nowhere when you wake up im gonna be right there)
Don’t you worry bout a thing (I aint worried about shit)
You’re here with me (Look its like I love my wife
We going through things and I aint going home tonight alright)
This situation is getting critical (uh huh)
I watch so many tears fall (uh huh)
I know she not what you want
So why do u keep holding on
When im right here (What)
All you need to do is call (What)
Don’t be afraid cuz she wont know it
You aint gotta go home tonight
You can stay right here with me (I aint goin nowhere when you wake up im gonna be right there)
Don’t you worry bout a thing (I aint worried about shit)
You’re here with me (Look its like I love my wife
We going through things and I aint going home tonight alright)
You aint gotta go home tonight
You can stay right here with me (I aint goin nowhere when you wake up im gonna be right there)
Don’t you worry bout a thing (I aint worried about shit)
You’re here with me (Look its like I love my wife
We going through things and I aint going home tonight alright)
There's something that I wanna say
I feel a little out of place
But I need you to make that change
You promised, to keep me out of the rain
I love the cars and everything
The diamond rings but I loved you much more, baby
You said, that you were gonna stop when you
Had enough, you'd do what you had to do
Now you, like the profession you've made it for yourself
You said, you cared about me and you
Now all, you wanna do is hustle you
Gotta choose, whatcha gonna do and am I worth it to you baby
Never thought I'd be afraid to trust (to trust)
Somebody that I love so much
If I can get him out of the streets
Then he could come back to me
Now I see that there ain't no "us"
Baby to me that's a definite plus
If I can't get you out of the streets
Then you don't need to be with me
Do you love me like you say
Maybe you could get away
From the life of doin' the wrong things
You promised
Don't make me read about it babe
Think of me before I'm gone
Cause when I'm gone, it will be to late (oh yeah babe)
You said, that you were gonna stop when you
Had enough, you'd do what you had to do
Now you, like the profession you've made it for yourself (made it for yourself)
You said, you cared about me and you
Now all, you wanna do is hustle you (you you)
Gotta choose, whatcha gonna do when I'm not worth it to you baby
Never thought I'd be afraid to trust
Somebody that I love so much
If I can get him out of the streets
Then he could come back to me
Now I see that there ain't no "us"
Baby to me that's a definite plus
If I can't get you out of the streets
Then you don't need to be with me
Never thought I'd be afraid to trust (Never, never, never)
Somebody that I love so much
If I can get him out of the streets
Then he could come back to me (co~me back, to me)
Now I see that there ain't no "us" (there ain't no us baby)
Baby to me that's a definite plus
If I can't get you out of the streets (If I Can Get You Outta the streets)
Then you don't need to be with me (Then you don't need to be with me)

Boy this evening, was it only me
Feeling completely, down to be open
Down to be open
For some satisfaction
Didn't wanna say yes, hating your reaction
I knew it was wrong, for feeling this way
Especially the thought of giving in on the first date
Couldn't let go, it stayed on my mind
At the end of the night I had to decide
I was thinking!
I should make a move but I won't
I know your probably thinking something is wrong
Knowing if I do then it won't be right
I don't get down on the first night
I should make a move but I won't
I know your probably thinking something is wrong
Knowing if I do then it won't be right
I wanna get down but not the first night
We were chillin watchin your t.v.
Wanted to touch you, wanted to kiss you
And somehow in one night discover I love you
Felt so right but it felt so wrong
And look how we are carrying on
Trying to say things to get me to stay
But my watch tells me its getting to late
I'm thinking!
(Chorus)
If you want me
You got to know me
And if you want my love
You gotta wait my love
Baby, that's the way it's got to be
Get to know me so we can do this
(Chorus)
If I told you
I'll be the one to make all your dreams true
If I gave you
All the things that make a man feel so good
If I need you
To come here before I give it to you
If I had to
I would change the world and make it feel love for you
Chorus:
If you do what say do
I promise we can do whateva'
You want to cause I want you
Say love me & I'm down 4 whateva'
repeat
Verse 2
Now that it's clear I hope you understand the way I'm feelin
And now that you're here you can't stop thinking of what I want to hear
Now that it's true I can stop holdin' back and do what I do
And when we're through I lay in your arms and say I love you
I believe we can be
Whateva we want to no matter the dilemma
And I believe that you will see it may take forever
But we finally got together
And I believe it will be all about us cause baby I love you
And then they will see what we mean
When we say we were together for eternity
(Chorus x2)
Verse 3
Tell me what happens when you think of me
Do you think of the things I'm feeling
Cause when I see you I start trembling
My knees start shakin' just glad to be with you
Tell me your love will always be with me
Promise me you would never leave
And then take me where I want to be
Cause I need you baby, I'm needing you crazy (ohoh!I!!)
Chorus Out
If I told you
I'll be the one to make all your dreams true
If I gave you
All the things that make a man feel so good
If I made you
Commit to me before I give it to you
If I had to

If you do what say do

You want to cause I want you

Just a couple of things
This as honest as I can be…
My sole objective is to love listen and respect her
And for this very second I’m just sayin’ that you
special enough for me to want to protect you against
Don’t love me shawty
(Monica)
Im sure you did a lot of things before I got in the
picture…didn’t ya?
Wait, don’t tell me
I know you kissed a lot of girls, told a lot of lies
and broke a few hearts
But listen…
I aint feel none of that last night when you held me
I just wanna believe that you met a girl and felt
something different
(Different from all the other ones)
And I believe that girl met you and saw someone who had
some beautiful intentions
So let’s just take a chance, take a hand, take a leap
And do what most won’t understand
Let’s just take a chance, who knows where we’ll land
I’ll be down if you tell me you can
I’m willing to change my plans
I’m willing to take that chance
(Let’s take a chance)
(Wale)
Uh, settle down queen
No gone bad on you forever, this for now queen
When the time’s right, get ya mind right
We gone tell the whole town this is our thing
But for now queen this is how I be
I could fully understand if you gotta leave
When the time’s right, get my mind right
I’ma get these bummy b****s from around me
Got a past I’m ashamed of, past full of danger
I can give you e’rything but a last name is sacred
All I ask is this chance that you take
And be safe with yourself and never lack any patience
I’m a young wild dude who been through a lot
Using p***y and groupy b****s to conceal my heart
It could stop, I take ‘em down but I take you out
It’s funny how you got the ring and they only give up
the box
So let’s just take a chance, take a hand, take a leap
And do what most won’t understand
Let’s just take a chance, who knows where we’ll land
I’ll be down if you tell me you can
I’m willing to change my plans
I won’t pay attention to the obvious, no
(Cause I found love)
So there’s no need for you to mention your past
I’m ready
So let’s just take a chance, take a hand, take a leap
And do what most won’t understand
Let’s just take a chance, who knows where we’ll land
I’ll be down if you tell me you can
I’m willing to change my plans
I’m willing to take that chance

Likes the morning dude
I took one look at you
And it was play and seek
You were my destiny
[Rick Ross]
We the big bank boys on the boulevard
Putting all the pretty girls into pretty cars
They shall not f*ck with rose pockets
Feel the honey shots when I pop it
I feel for you, vodka, rum on my arm
20 million teflon don, god bless
All the D boys on the rest
With my baby girl on my side, baby, baby
[Monica]
I've been looking for someone special for a long, long time
Someone that I can share my dream, someone I can call mine
And every night I'm wishing, hoping, that he's only getting closer
Cause I, oh I, gonna find you, want to know you
And I just wanna know if someone's out there
Somebody to hold, somebody who cares
I'll do anything to find you (I wanna do)
I won't let you go, no, no
I'd do anything to find you (I wanna do)
I won't let you go, no, no
I've been there so many times from the guys in my head
And when I find somebody new, it don't never lasts
And every night I'm wishing, hoping, that he's only getting closer
Cause I, oh I, gonna find you, want to know you
I just wanna know if someone's out there
Somebody to hold, somebody who cares
I'll do anything to find you (I wanna do)
I won't let you go, no, no
I'd do anything to find you (I wanna do)
I won't let you go, no, no
[Lil' Kim]
I guess it was cupid
But we never do the hard, let the blood drip
Somebody call the doctor cause I'm love sick
Man, I done had it with this love shit
I'm done, just cause you make me come, don't mean that you're the one
Most dudes only good for their tongues
Fucking with the queen bee it ain't safe
This is leaving a stinging in your face
[Monica]
And I'm tired of being by myself
I need someone there, to give all of this love that I got
I'm open, won't you come inside?
Man, I promise that I will treat you better than right
Gotta know, Is he out there some where, is he out there waiting for me, for me
Is he out there some where, is he out there waiting for me
I just wanna know if someone's out there
Somebody to hold, somebody who cares
I'll do anything to find you (I wanna do)
I won't let you go, no, no
I'd do anything to find you (I wanna do)
I won't let you go, no, no
I just wanna know if someone's out there
Somebody to hold, somebody who cares
I'll do anything to find you (I wanna do)
I won't let you go, no, no
I'd do anything to find you (I wanna do)
sometimes just won't do it,
shopping sprees might make me smile for now but

and i don't mean to put you through it
i just wanna know i'm caring for

Oh yeah, oh yeah
Knew something was...
When I came home today
Better... the stairs, look... down... away
Do you worry... you mentioned it before
You didn't really register till you weren't here no more
If I could reach you on the phone I'd tell ya
That I'm sorry for all the wrong
And I wish that I could do it all again
I wish that I could touch ya
I wish that we were friends
Long before we hooked up
And I wish that it was magic, and lasting
And I didn't take you for granted
Could be so nice and so right
Baby if I
Could do it all again
Do it all again,
Pieces of your heart, moments of your life
One thing that you just can't get a... on this time
And I wanna go back, back to when I first met ya
Back, back to when I would never
Ever not have you back
All I'm saying is that
If I could reach you on the phone I'd tell ya
That I'm sorry for all the wrong
And I wish that I could do it all again
I wish that I could touch ya
I wish that we were friends
Long before we hooked up
And I wish that it was magic, and lasting
And I didn't take you for granted
Could be so nice and so right
Baby if I
Could do it all again
Do it all again,
I... for the reason why
And I'm not ashamed to see
That I'm also out of right
I just want you where I think that you belong
Right here by my side
I wish that I could do it all again
I wish that I could touch ya
I wish that we were friends
Long before we hooked up
And I wish that it was magic, and lasting
And I didn't take you for granted
Could be so nice and so right
Baby if I
Could do it all again
I wish that I could touch ya
I wish that we were friends
Long before we hooked up
And I wish that it was magic, and lasting
And I didn't take you for granted
Could be so nice and so right
Baby if I
Could do it all again
Oh...oh...yeah
Oh...oh...oh...
Listen to me
You deserve all the heartache and the pain (Yes, you do)
Don’t come cryin’ talkin’ ‘bout he’s playin’ games
(No, no, no)
You should know life is what you make of it (No, no)
Regardless (No, no) who he is
If you put up with it you deserve it
Why you wanna be with him
‘Cause all you ever do is cry
He’ll tell you that you ain’t enough
He’s tearin’ you apart inside
And when you need a ear, I listen
To everything you have to say
I tell you every day to leave
But it seems you’d rather stay
And girl, a man could only do what you let him
And girl, it don’t do you no good to just sweat him
And girl, you can’t just let him abuse you
I’ll tell you what you should do
But if you choose not to you deserve
You deserve all the heartache and the pain (So when you’re hurt)
Don’t come cryin’ (Don’t) talkin’ ‘bout he’s playin’
games (Maybe you should know)
You should know life is what you make of it
Regardless who he is
If you put up with it you deserve it
Now that you’ve a guy who’ll kiss
But you use him as your strength
To get out of a bad situation
To get out this relationship
I promise you he’ll never change
I know you really want him to
So all the things he promises
I hope you don’t expect him to
And girl, a man can only do what you let him
And girl, it don’t do you no good to just sweat him,
oh, no, no
And girl, you can’t just this man abuse you
I’ll tell you what you should do
But if you choose not to then you deserve
You deserve all the heartache and the pain (Oh, oh, so
when you’re hurt, oh)
Don’t come cryin’ talkin’ ‘bout he’s playin’ games
(And you should know)
You should know life is what you make of it
Regardless who he is
If you put up with it then you deserve it
Peep the whole scene and whatever’s goin’ on around me
Burned out, clutchin’ my pillow, stuck in the County
You hate when I step off with honeys and ??
Who sayin’ I want a baby chase, you can’t relate
Pump your brakes, mami, please ‘cause you buggin’ me
And treat me worse than them streets, it’s like
doggin’ me out
But I could look into your eyes and see you achin’
inside
You hope I da-da-da-da-da-da-da
You deserve (And so you deserve)
You deserve all the heartache and the pain (Oh, oh,
heartache and the pain)
Don’t come cryin’ (Don’t come cryin’) talkin’ ‘bout
he’s playin’ games (No, no, no, no)
You should know life is what you make of it
Regardless who he is (Regardless)
If you put up with it, ooh, then you deserve it
Listen to me
Realize that I can make you see
Do you wanna live a lie
La-la-la-la-la-la-la (So listen)
You deserve all the heartache and the pain (Oh, oh, so
when you hurt)
Don’t come cryin’ talkin’ ‘bout he’s playin’ games
(And you should know)
You should know life is what you make of it (Life is
what you make of it, oh)
Regardless who he is (Regardless)

Verse 1
Don't know why I been tryin so hard 2 talk 2 u Don't kno y I still care bout u so much
But I'm makin a fool out of myself
And there's gotta b some reason behind it (yeah yeah oh)
I told u before that I jus needed an answer
So I would have some closure (so you could say)
Chorus 2x
Why oh why do I waste my time on u
When once in awhile u call me up 2 do what u wanna do
Verse 2
U didn't like my past attitude
The past is in the past baby
That's all I could say
It happened (it happened)
My attitude is me,
Golden rule I treat others how they treat me
I'm tired of people fukin me over so I get an attitude like I do with u
Chorus 2x
Why oh why do I waste my time on u
When once in awhile u call me up 2 do what u wanna do
Verse 3

Fade away
Mamma Mia & Monica (Oh, yeah)
The game is twisted (oh)
Won't you tell them 'bout it, Mo?!
Let me tell you about these niggas I don't like (I don't like)
They ride around the 24s
With a mouth full of gold
But their children be up hungry late at night
While they out spending doe and
they trickin' on them hoes
And another thing baby that just ain't right
Is these robbers and these haters, out pullin' capers
Did you ever think that it could end your life
Think twice, get it right
Or you have to pay the price
What part of the game
Chorus
What part of the game is this, oh
You claim to keep it real, but that just ain't the deal
What part of the game is this, oh
You gotta understand I feel just the way I feel
What part of the game is this, oh
You gotta pay your dues, don't be a fool
What part of the game is this, oh
And if you don't play by the rules you loose
Now let me tell you 'bout these chicks I don't like
You walk in with your man they see you're holding hands
But they try to get up wit him that same night
Saying your girl ain't the one
Would you come and spend the night
And another thing that baby just ain't right
Is you all in these clubs
like you about to find some love
But the nigga only want ya for one night
Set you up, cut you up
Got your feelings all hurt up
What part of the game is this?
Chorus
Rap by Mia X
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
So let them say its wrong
For me to love you
They could never feel
The way that I do when we kiss
When we're close like this
They can't see inside my soul
They can't know the love we know
All they do is waste their time
They can never change my mind
It's what my heart says
That is what I listen to
It's what my heart feels
That tells me, tells me what to do
It's what my heart knows
That's the only, the only truth I know is real
All I hear is what my heart says to me
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
What my heart says
Let them say that I'm a fool
To fall so deeply
Cause they will never ever be
Loved so completely
How can they even talk that way?
They can't see it through my eyes
They can't feel this love inside
All their words don't mean a thing
They can't change the way I feel, no, no
It's what my heart says
That is what I listen to
It's what my heart feels
That tells me, tells me what to do
It's what my heart knows
That's the only, the only truth I know is real
All I hear is what my heart says to me
And I have never felt so sure about anything
See you are the one, the one that I need
It doesn't matter what they think
Or what they say
I'm loving you anyway, oh
All I know is what I hear
It's what my heart says
That is what I listen to
It's what my heart feels
That tells me, tells me what to do
It's what my heart knows
That's the only, the only truth I know is real
All I hear is what my heart says to me
La, la, la, la, la
What my heart says
Have you ever slipped up & caught up in something
Crimilating evidence uh oh oh uh
Didn't pay attention when you thought you were creepin'
You thought you kept on the low oh oh uh oh
I thought I had my game tight until I got caught up in the night
Cause I didn't turn off my cell phone on on
Heard everything I said & I was so busted & all could say was uh oh
[hook]
Betta what them 2 ways (it will get ya caught up)
Caller I'd will (it will get caught up)
Message on the voice(it'll get ya caught up)
Them shady friends that go & tell(caught up, caught up)
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, uh oh ...
Now one time there caught this guy in a really crazy lie
I guess he taught I did know oh oh oh
So I didn't say a word about what I had heard
Then I had to see how far he would go oh oh oh
Cause the girl, he was talking to was cool this girl I already knew
That I knew everything they did, you know she told old old
So I stopped by his crib when I knew she's be with him
And all that he could say uh oh
[hook]
Everything you in the dark you know it's
Gonna have to come to the light
So you're gonna run out of luck if yo' game ain't tight
And ya get caught up
All my homegirls listen to mo'
Stay on top of the game so your man will never know
Why not fella just keep it low
So your girls won't have to hear you say
Uh oh
[hook out]
I didn’t ask to go with you to Mexico
I really didn’t need the shopping sprees
In L.A. or Melrose, boy if you didn’t know it, well, now you know,
I didn’t need the furs or the jewelries
Because material things they don’t mean much to me
And ever since you've been gone
I have been holding us down on my own
I never ever cheated
I never ever lied
So you can stop asking, asking me why
Why I never left you, and why I kept it real
And why im still with you
You should’ve known better than to think I would leave
You should’ve known better than to doubt me
It don’t matter if you are up
matter if you are down
Either way im gonna be around
You should’ve known that I would stay by your side
You should’ve known your girl was gonna ride or die
And it just don’t matter if ya rich or poor
Out or in doing 5 to10
You should’ve known better
What makes you think that I would forget about you
Think about it who comes to see ya
Every Saturday and Monday I was on that receiver
It’s me your girl your life your world
My family and friends they just don’t understand
They say I should leave you lone
But I say that they should just leave us lone
Don’t u get it
I never ever cheated
I never ever lied
So u can stop asking, asking me why
Why I never left you, and why I kept it real
And why im still with you
You should’ve known better than to think I would leave
You should’ve known better than to doubt me
It don’t matter if you are up
matter if you are down
Either way im gonna be around
You should’ve known that I would stay by your side
You should’ve known your girl was gonna ride or die
And it just don’t matter if ya rich or poor
Out or in doing 5 to 10
You should’ve known better
You should’ve known better than to think I would leave
You should’ve known better than to doubt me
It don’t matter if you are up
Matter if you are down
Either way im gonna be around
You should’ve known that I would stay by your side
You should’ve known your girl was gonna ride or die
And it just don’t matter if ya rich or poor
Out or in doing 5 to10

Somebody bigger than the Earth is round
Bigger than the saddest frown
Bigger than the brightest smile
And longer than the longest mile
Somebody bigger than the biggest fight
And darker than the darkest night
Bigger than the biggest gun

Who made the mountains
Who made the trees
Who made the rivers that flow out to the seas
And who hung the moon in the starry, starry, starry sky

Somebody bigger
I know I know he's bigger than you and I
My God is bigger
Somebody bigger
He's bigger, he's bigger than you

Somebody bigger yeah
Than you and I
Somebody bigger than you and I
Bigger than you and I
He lights the way when road is alone
Keeps me company with love to guide you

When I am weary, and filled with despair
Who gives me courage to go on and on and on from there
And who gives me faith
I will never, never, never, never, never doubt
Somebody bigger yeah

Bigger than you and I
Somebody bigger
My Lord is bigger than you

Bigger than the open sky
Bigger than the tallest tree
Bigger than the deepest sea
Somebody deeper than the desert sands
Bigger than the tallest man
And phatter than the phattest phat
Bigger than the Shaq attack
Repeat Chorus
Why her, why her? Why her?
My last tear just fell from my eyes
Told myself that I wasn't goin' to cry no more
You did what you did, it is what it is
And that's why I walked out the door
Moved on with my life but not really
Spent too much time wonderin' how could you
You do this to us, thought we we're in love
Guess I was thinkin' too much
I was thinkin' that the sex had your love
You never could get enough 'coz you know I kept it hot
I listen to you tell me your dreams and your fears
I wiped your tears, I was there and that's why this is hurtin' me
Why her, why her? Did I get on your nerves?
Did I give you too much that you couldn't handle my love?
Why her, why her? Tell me what she was worth
To make you put her first and disown me?
You wanna come back, but I gotta know why her?
Thought she was all that, then why you at my door?
Now look at you, look at us, what's all this for?
Hope you got the answer to my question, why her?
This goin' to be the last time we say goodbye
Aint gonna be no reruns of this episode
You did what you did, it is what it is
Maybe if you would've told me you weren't happy
You weren't satisfied, we could've worked it out
Baby we could've tried but you didn't say nothin'
All along fakin' and frontin' and why?
I was thinkin' that the sex had your love
You never could get enough 'coz you know I kept it hot
I listen to you tell me your dreams and your fears
I wiped your tears, I was there and it hurts me
Why her, why her? Did I get on your nerves?
Did I give you too much that you couldn't handle my love?
Why her, why her? Tell me what she was worth
To make you put her first and disown me?
You wanna come back, but I gotta know why her?
Thought she was all that, why you at my door?
Now look at you, look at us, what's all this for?
Hope you got the answer to my question, why her?
Now ladies, y'all know I speak from experience, right?
I used to just look at him and wonder why, why her?
Ya know what I'm sayin'?
But ladies, I learn not to worry
About them livin' a happily ever after
'Coz see, that shit just built on a lie
So it should've fall, that's why I stand tall
I just looked at him and said this right here
Why her, why her? Did I get on your nerves?
Did I give you too much that you couldn't handle my love?
Why her, why her? Tell me what she was worth
To make you put her first and disown me?
The grass looks greener on the other side, why her?
But I promise, you'll be back tonight
Now look at you, look at us, what's all this for?
Hope you got the answer to my question, why her?
Why her? Tell me, why her? Why her?
so let them say its wrong for me to love me
they can never feel the way that i do when we kiss
when we're close like this
they cant see inside my soul
they cant know the love we know
all they do is waste their time
they can never change my mind
Chorus:
its what my heart says
that is what i listen to
its what my heart feels
that tells me what to do
it whats my heart knows
thats the only, only truth
i kno its real
all i hear is what my heart says to me
let them say that im a fool to fall so deeply
cause they will never ever feel love so completely
how can they even talk that way
they cant see it through my eyes
they cant feel this love inside
all their words dont mean a thing
they cant change the way i feel
and i have never felt so sure about anything
see you are the one
the one that i need
it doesnt matter what they think or what they say
im loving you any way
all i kno is what i feel
chorus.....

(Interlude)
Love brings intensity
How I know it's plan to see,
Boy there's a woman in me
Intensity brings misery
How I know it's plan to see,
Boy there's a woman in me
Your wondering how I know
(There's a woman in me)
That's how I know
(There's a woman in me)
Your wondering how I know
(There's a woman in me)
That's how I know
(There's a woman in me)
Your wondering how I know
(There's a woman in me)
That's how I know
(There's a woman in me)
(this keeps going as it fades)
There were times when we used to go out
Now all we do is scream and shout
Used to buy me things and give me compliments
Now everything's an argument
Tell me, when it ever went wrong?
'Cause I don't wanna be another couple that you hear in a sad song
Why can't we communicate
Before it's much too late?
And I'm sick of playing games, I'm sick of waiting by
Other times we're cool and other times we're not
I'm sick of crying all these nights
I'm sick of being sick and tired
And I'm sick of all these rules, I'm sick of all these lies
Half the time we're cool, the other times we're not
I'm sick of waiting all my life
I'm sick of being sick and tired
Remember when we used to have fun
I know you can't even remember the last time
I know you're seein' someone
'Cause you've been walking around like everything is just fine
What the hell have I done?
For you to have me feeling like I'm losin' my mind
I don't wanna be with no one
But you always front on being nice
And I'm sick of playing games, I'm sick of waiting by
Other times we're cool and other times we're not
I'm sick of crying all these nights
I'm sick of being sick and tired
And I'm sick of all these rules, I'm sick of all these lies
Half the time we're cool, the other times we're not
I'm sick of waiting all my life
I'm sick of being sick and tired
I never did ask for nothing
But I can tell you're going through something
Now why would you risk me leavin' our home?
I hope you put your thought into this
'Cause when I'm gone I know that you'll miss
All of my love 'cause baby, when it's gone I'm gone
Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, I'm gone, gone, gone, I'm gone
I said I'm sick and tired of all the lies
Can't do it no more, said, I can't do it no more
I'm so, so, so tired
Ladies, ladies, ladies help me sing
And I'm sick of playing games, I'm sick of waiting by
Other times we're cool and other times we're not
I'm sick of crying all these nights
I'm sick of being sick and tired
And I'm sick of all these rules, I'm sick of all these lies
Half the time we're cool, the other times we're not
I'm sick of waiting all my life
I'm sick of being sick and tired
And I'm sick of playing games, I'm sick of waiting by
Other times we're cool and half the times we're not
I'm sick of crying all these nights
I'm sick of being sick and tired
I remember Monica
At the US Open
She mighta been 16
Couldn't've been much more
Answering some questions
And giggling, I'd never seen
Someone so alive on TV before
Do you remember Monica
Shrieking on her backhand
Disguising herself as she went out at night
Coloring her hair
Like someone was telling her
Lay low, invisible, and out of sight
And then, Monica
The blade came, Monica
Like God spitting on you, a knife in your back
We read it in the paper
Then moved on to other things
But for you all the colors, fade to black
And oh, Monica
There you are, Monica
On the cross with Jesus and Martin Luther King
Just like John Lennon, by that hotel
You have to pay for our sins
Was it like being raped?
Was it like being dead?
Like a bad movie over and over again?
And then, did everyone who came close to you
Suddenly hold a knife in their hand?
And now you're back, Monica
Grim and hammering
Trying not to think about that thing, then
And I hope that you win
Every medal you can win
But it may never be much fun again
And oh, Monica
There you are, Monica
On the cross with Jesus and Martin Luther King
Just like John Lennon, by that hotel
You have to pay for our sins
Just like Jesus, by that hotel
Baby, understand everything
There's no one else in my life
Maybe I can make you happy, baby
If I spend some time with you
Tell me baby, baby nothings changed
I'm still in love with you
Don't be afraid, let me hold your heart
Control everything you do
Baby, you know that I wouldn't do
Couldn't do anything to hurt you
But if you feel weak, don't you worry
Cause I never can say goodbye
Baby, you know that I couldn't do
Wouldn't live my life without you
But if you feel weak, don't you worry
Cause I never can say goodbye
Ohh baby, if it's okay with you
I'll do all that I can do
To make this thing unbreakable
And if you need me to
I'll swim through the stars till I touch the moon
Do anything baby just to get to you
Won't be afraid to let you hold my heart
Control everything I do
Baby, if it's okay with you (if it's okay)
I'll do anything that I can do (ooh)
No one else can do it like you (oh yeah)
I'll give my love and vow to you
I'll will never leave you, that is true
I'm a good woman, let me prove to you (let me prove it to you)
If you feel weak, boy don't you worry
Do you remember me?
I sat upon your knee
I wrote to you with childhood fantasies
Well I'm all grown up now
Can you still help somehow?
I'm not a child but my heart still can dream
So here's my lifeful wish
My grown up Christmas List
Not for myself
But for a world in need
No more lives torn apart
That wars will never start
And time will heal our hearts
Every man will have a friend
That right will always win
And love will never end
This is my grown up Christmas List
May kindness rules our lives
Not just the strong survive
Sweet tears for all the thousand years on mind
This is the world I pray
We will all share some way
Help me begin by reaching out my hand
No more lives torn apart
That wars will never start
And time will heal our hearts
Every man will have a friend
That right will always win
And love will never end
This is my grown up Christmas List
Why does this illusion call the innocence of you?
Maybe when the time believe we can find the truth
No...
No more lives torn apart
That wars will never start
And time will heal our hearts
Every man will have a friend
That right will always win
And love will never end
This is my grown up Christmas List
This is the prayer that I will keep
This is my grown up Christmas list
Christmas list

Monica baby, I'm sorry
I know I was wrong, but I think we can work it out
Just try to hear me out
Nah, you hear me out
I gave you so much love, but you had to play with my affections
My heart was in your hands, but you had to play with all my feelings
You got your mack on, but now I'm gone
Cause I'd rather be all alone
Away from all these silly games
I gave you no reason why
Just said do your thing on the side
But now I'm gone
Cause it will never be the same
You were busy kicking it with your boys
Instead of taking care of your girl
But now I'm gone
Gone away from you
I thought I knew you well
But you ran away, didn't care about me
You told so many lies
Thought you could run away from this thing called reality
But I'm long gone, I got to go on
There's someone waiting for me
To love me honestly
I gave you no reason why
Just said do your thing on the side
But now I'm gone
Cause it will never be the same, yeah
Your were busy kicking it with your boys
Instead of taking care of your girl
But now I'm gone
I'm gone away from you, oh my boy, hey
I gave you no reason why
Just said do your thing on the side
But now I'm gone
Cause it will never be the same, naw
You were busy kicking it with your boys (You shoulda been taking care of your girl)
Instead of taking care of your girl
But now I'm gone
But now I'm gone, oh now I'm gone, now I'm gon' away from you
You see, the things you did to me back then, I'm long gon' from it now
Baby I gotta go my own way
They say (they say)
That you never (miss a good thing)
I've been talkin to some friends of mine about you boy
They say you're bout to have a child
When you goin' tell me bout it
This other chick your sleepin' with
Now you gotta deal with it
Hope you've found happiness
I've found myself in such a mess
With you
and I put way to much love
Into you
Through the one day
we'll be true
and time after time
I stuck with you
but now I'm too through
Cause I've been the fool
Sittin' round too long
I think its about time
That I ring da bell and carry on
I forgave you before
But its too far long
I think its bout time
That I ring da bell and move along
You said it was a mistake
On one night you saw her late
Must of been for pure affection
Boy you didn't have protection
You had to think of me
But you did never see
Yourself in this predicament
You never thought that it would catch up
With you
and I put way to much love
Into you
Through the one day
we'll be true
and time after time
I stuck with you
but now I'm too through
Cause I've been the fool
Sittin' round too long
I think its about time
That I ring da bell and carry on
I forgave you before
But its too far long
I think its bout time
That I ring da bell and move along
Cause I've been the fool
Sittin' round too long
I think its about time
That I ring da bell and carry on
I forgave you before
But its too far long
I think its bout time
That I ring da bell and move along
How awful the way
You treated me
Gave you everything
So hurt to say
You didn't tell me
Oceans apart
Day after day
And I slowly go insane
I hear your voice
On the line
But it doesn't stop the pain
I see you next to never
How can we stay forever
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
I took for granted
All the times
That I thought would last somehow
I hear the laughter and I taste the tears
But I can't get near you now
Oh can you see it baby
You've got me goin' crazy
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
I wonder how we can survive
This romance, but in the end if I'm with you

Lunch up in a diner, if ya act right we dine in the Bahamas
Now wow lil momma, im a gangsta
Anywhere ya wanna go imma take ya
Oh my god you caught my eyes like from 20 yards
You so damn fine
Listen I don’t eat peaches but the way you look to night
I just might take a bite
Come closer, feel that
It’s a woman and a man and a latex
Out the shower, hotel flowers on the bed,
Choice of wine white or red
What more can I say
Monica, DirtBag, ATL MIA
You remember when I was just a young one
And I was to afraid to quickly let you show me thangs
Not sure if I was ready for some good love, and im bout to set it off

And even tho im ready for the move of my time
Now buckle up yo seat while I set it off
Baby let me set it off, do you mind it I get it off

Baby let me set it off, do you mind it I get it off
Set it off, set it off

Baby let me set it off, do you mind it I get it off
Set it off, set it off
All it takes is one phone call, if you wanna get it on
Set it off, set it off

When I hear the children of today
They're questioning me the way
The way that they should live
I often wonder, wonder what to do
To help them make it through
In a world that's gone astray
Open my heart to see that it's up to me
Searchin' for the answers to these problems
I'm always facing things that are tryin' me
Testing all the things that I believe
Sometimes I feel so down and no one here's around
But you, you never left me lonely
And now I see, what a true friend means
And I trust that you would always be here for me
Lord, I give you all
Open my heart to see that this lies with me
Searchin' for the answers to these problems
I'm always facing things that are tryin' me
(I'm standing right here)
Testing all the things that I believe
Now I'm here before you
So tell me what to do
(Guess I will open my heart)
My heart to you, here I am
Searching for all the answers to my problems
Lord I'm facing things, can you help me?
You're trying all that I need the things I believe
Lord, no no no no
Here I am, here I am
I'm searching for, searching for it
Lord, I need, need, need, that's tryin' me
Testing all the things that I believe
No, no, here I am
Lacking all the understand the things I can't see
I am your child, ooh, oh, oh
That're tryin' me
Can you help me, I'm lacking understanding
I'm your child no matter what they say
I'm yours every day
Everybody skate to the music, put your hands in the air
Don't stop 'til it grooves ya, and you feel it everywhere
Just skate to the music 'til you feel it going on
Don't stop 'til ya lose it baby
Everybody skate
It's Sunday night, and we're about to have a ball
The place is packed, been thinkin' bout it all day long
People are jammin' and waiting for their favorite song
With everyone in a world of their own
Can't wait to get up on the floor
And bounce around to the sounds
Don't just sit up on the wall
Get down, baby get down
The beat is bumpin', the lights are movin' to the groove
All in the light, we roll until the night is through
Only a minute, before it puts you in the mood
And from there, it's all up to you
Can't wait to get up on the floor
And bounce around to the sounds
Don't just sit up on the wall
Ho, ho, sideline ho
You'se a ho, you'se a ho, sideline ho
When you called his phone, did he pick it up?
No 'cause we was makin' love
Did you meet his moms, have you met his kids?
No, did you know my kid was his?
Get your shit together
You're makin' a fool of yourself
It don't matter if he spends the night
His home's somewhere else
Ain't you tired of bein' on the sideline?
Tired of gettin' yours after I gets mine
Baby, second place don't get a prize
When you gon' realize you wastin' your time?
Baby, ain't you tired of him gettin' in?
Leavin', broken whip and rollin'
Tired of when you need a little change?
He lie about what he holdin'
Ain't you tired of spendin' all the holidays alone?
Tired of bein' his little sideline ho
Do he take you out, do he foot your bills?
No 'cause I know what his balance is
Have you been to his church, do he ask you to pray?
No 'cause Sundays' family day
Get your shit together

Started as a little girl
Singing so changed my world
Flipped my world upside down
I got lost and I couldn't be found
So much on my shoulders
So much on my mind
Since no one can help me
I think I just need some time
Sometimes I wish I could hide away
Looking for a place to getaway
Getaway from all the heartache and pain that life can bring
I really don't want to sound
Like I can't hold my ground
But everybody needs some time
That they can getaway
Sometimes I wish I was invisible
'Cause then no one will know
Where I am to ask me for anything
'Cause I've given so much of me
When it's a time for me to receive
'Cause Monica has her needs
Who's going to look out for me?
Sometimes I wish I could hide away
Looking for a place to getaway
Getaway from all the heartache and pain that life can bring
I really don't want to sound
Like I can't hold my ground
But everybody needs some time
That they can getaway
You know I'm not superwoman
And I'm not made of steel
I try my best to handle
All I have to deal with
It's not as easy as it seems
And to think this was my dream
Now for everything I have I'm grateful
But sometimes I want to get away
Sometimes I wish I could hide away
Looking for a place to getaway
Getaway from all the heartache and pain that life can bring
I really don't want to sound
Like I can't hold my ground
But everybody needs some time
That they can getaway
Sometimes I wish I could hide away
Looking for a place to getaway
Getaway from all the heartache and pain that life can bring
I really don't want to sound
Like I can't stand my ground
But everybody needs some time
That they can getaway

Said that I need you
I don't really need you
There's something that I wanna say
I feel a little out of place
But I need you to make that change
You promised, to keep me out of the rain
I love the cars and everything
The diamond rings but I loved you much more, baby
You said, that you were gonna stop when you
Had enough, you'd do what you had to do
Now you, like the profession you've made it for yourself
You said, you cared about me and you
Now all, you wanna do is hustle you
Gotta choose, whatcha gonna do and am I worth it to you baby
Never thought I'd be afraid to trust (to trust)
Somebody that I love so much
If I can get him out of the streets
Then he could come back to me
Now I see that there ain't no "us"
Baby to me that's a definite plus
If I can't get you out of the streets
Then you don't need to be with me
Do you love me like you say
Maybe you could get away
From the life of doin' the wrong things
You promised
Don't make me read about it babe
Think of me before I'm gone
Cause when I'm gone, it will be to late (oh yeah babe)
You said, that you were gonna stop when you
Had enough, you'd do what you had to do
Now you, like the profession you've made it for yourself (made it for yourself)

Vi~sit the streets or me (Visit the streets)
The job has taken over pain (The job's taken over)
I know I've gotta leave (I know I know)
If he keeps changing for no shoes, I need 2
Come right back at me alone again
Maybe I didn't need the use, out of him
Didn't come with no type of warranty
There's no one
That I adore
More than your love
It hurts me more
To let you down
And again
There's no one
Who could ever
Show me the
Way to never
trust someone
Better than you
Should I take him back
After what he did
Hurt me in ways that I
Can't begin to replace
How I feel so I'll just go away
Don't wanna go through the same games, again
He's no good and that's just it for me
Does it everytime he returns, there's no use
I'll just be the one left in the end
There's no one
That I adore
More than your love
It hurts me more
To let you down
And again
There's no one
Who could ever
Show me the
Way to never
Try someone
Better than you
Should I take him back
After what he did
Hurt me in ways that I
Can't begin to replace
How I feel so I'll just go away
Don't wanna go through the same thing
The memory remains
Don't wanna through the same games
Should I take him back
After what he did
Hurt me in ways that I
Can't begin to replace
How I feel so I'll just go away
There's no one
That I adore
More than your love
It hurts me more
To let you down
And again
There's no one
Who could ever
Show me the
Way to never
Try someone
Better than you
There's no one I adore
And you know it hurts me more
To let you back into my life
Tell me, if you still care
Tell me, if you still care
Let me know
Have you started to lose your love for me
And if so
Will you still continue to be on my side
Tell me, if you still care
About me (Tell me that you care)
Tell me, if you still care
About me
Must we both, go on being confused
And placing blame
My heart knows, that you're my number one
Do you feel the same way too
Tell me, if you still care
About me (Tell me)
Tell me, if you still care (Will you still care for me baby)
Oh yes
Yes, I know, that I still love you
You're forever on my mind
And it's so hard to let go, what I feel for you
You blow my mind
But you captured all my love with your sweetness
And you gave it to me baby, from your heart
Oh, so if we really care for each other
Then tell me baby, why are we apart, yeah
Tell me, if you still care (That you still care)
About me (About me)
Tell me (I wanna know) if you still care
Do you feel the same way too (Do you feel the same way baby, for me)
Tell me, if you still care (Will you hold me and will you kiss me)
About me (Can you tell me)

Girl I'm so lucky to have you girl in my life
And that's right

It's either the streets or me
The trouble is taking over things
(You ain't got to worry no more)
(No more trouble, no more crying)
I know I got to leave
(No more none of that)
But you weren't there for me
It's either the streets or me

The trouble is taking over things
I know I got to leave
But you weren't there for me
[Big Gipp]
Hey, enough
I know you're not gonna be all lame and choose
My house in Atlanta is what made you, you
You ain't never had nothin' till I paid the dues
My word is gold, I lay the rules
Why you trippin' on a brother about the things he do
Look, work can never matter how I got the loot
But you never hesitate when you drive the coupe
I made you ball, ain't that truth
[Monica]
I never asked for that much
If you stay, I laid here at night
Down at the gentleman's club
Seems like you can't get right
I knew when I saw the g's
You would be harder to please
You wanted more than enough
That's when it got too beat up
1 - [Monica]
Last time I was down for you
I though you really wanted to
Don't know how much pain it took
To put up that cash up on your boots
See I'm sick and tired boy
You can't even drive the cars
Sometimes I don't know what to do
What am I worth to you babe?
[Majic]
Yeah, yeah
See I'm in the Accolade
Coming through ride alone with flakes
The street's my home, up in the zone
Search a nigga's car tryin' to get my bone
Get my name, wear that thang
I don't know but I'm searching man
Lookin' for that sweet lick
No time for no cheap chick
I'm working
2 - [Monica]
You must believe
I gotta get you out of the streets
I disagree when you tell me that you're doing it for me
Just lean on me
I know you're in a little to deep
I gotta do what I gotta do to get you back here with me
[Monica]
I like the cash and all that
But I just can't watch my back
And if they catch me with you
Who knows what they wouldn't do?
You've spent too long in this game
My baby you gotta change
Before I lose you for life
I want to be your wife
Repeat 1
[JT Money]
See babygirl I gotta hustle
See I'm used to getting mine off the muscle
Everything that I do, I did for us two
Getting' mine on the grind is a must too
Plus you want all them finer things

Everything's on paper, they keep me on the caper
If it ain't about bread then I'mma holla at you later, baby
Repeat 2 (2x)

Boy this evening was it only me
Feeling completly down to be open
Down to be open for some satisfaction
Didn't want to say yes, afraid of your reaction
I knew it was wrong, for feeling this way
Especially the thought of givin' in on the first date
Couldn't let go, it stayed on my mind
At the end of the night I had to decide, I was thinkin'...
I should make a move but I won't
I know your probly thinkin' something is wrong
Knowing if I do that it won't be right
I don't get down on the first night
I should make a move but I won't
I know your probly thinkin' something is wrong
Knowing if I do that it won't be right
I wanna get down, but not the first night
We were chillin' watching your T.V.
I felt it was comin' the closer that you got to me
Wanted to touch you, wanted to kiss you
And some how in one night, discover I love you
Felt so right, but it felt so wrong
And look how we're carryin' on
Tryin' to say things to get me to stay
But my watch is telling me it's getting to late, I'm thinkin'...
I should make a move but I won't
I know your probly thinkin' something is wrong
Knowing if I do that it won't be right
I don't get down on the first night
If you, wnat me, you got to know me
And if you want my love (My love) you gotta wait my love
Ba Baby that's the way its got to be
Get to know me (Get to know me) so we can do this, Oooohhh
I should (echo) I know your probably thinkin' (echo) (I want I want babe)
Knowin' if I do (echo) (I want I want babe)

I should I should make a move but I won't (c'mon)
I know you're probably thinking something is wrong (it's the remix)
Knowing that it won't be right
I don't get down on the first night (c'mon)
It's Saturday night, feeling kinda right
I wanna get close to you, and let you call me your baby
I know it ain't right, it's just the first night
I couldn't keep lookin' and it's driving me crazy
I know it was wrong for feeling this way
The thought of getting it on the first date
Couldn't let go it stayed on my mind
At the end of the night, I had to decide
I was thinking
[Chorus]
I should, I should make a move but I won't
I know you're probably thinking something is wrong
Knowing that it won't be right
I wanna get down, but not the first night
I should, I should make a move but I won't
I know you're probably thinking something is wrong
Knowing that it won't be right
I don't get down on the first night
You're telling me yes, putting me to the test
Don't know how much longer I can keep my composure
Trying my best to deal with all of this
But at the same time I can feel us getting closer
Felt so right but it felt so wrong
And look how you're carrying on
Trying to say things to get me to stay
But my watch is telling me it's getting too late
I'm thinking
[Chorus]
[JD]
Shhh, check this out
Tonight, lil' kiss, touch, we ain't gotta do all of that stuff
I'm just sittin' here tryin' to chill with you, we ain't gotta rush
I just wanna ball with you, in and out the mall with you
Out of town on the phone, all night call with you
Chi-Chi, baby, I do all my shit correct
Just you and me, just lay, you ain't suppose to be ready yet
Cuz you don't know if I want just sex and I don't know if you want my check
Even though you probably just expecting me to be kissin' on your neck
Now baby
[ROC]
Show me yours and I'll show you mine
I see you get hot and I know it's time
At 69 we could draw the line
I know you could give me yours
And I owe you mine
When I meet the girl, I creep the girl
I freak the girl, I please the girl
If you need the girl, man, keep the girl
Let the whole Roc gon' see the girl
If I should, I should make a move
Make it smooth, take it to that crib
Let that player lazy groove
Make her ahh, make her ooh
Cuz money come, money go
So So, honey dough, love it when they go how low
Front, back to the flow
Now keep on workin' at
With Jersey hat, with Jersey hat
[Chorus]
[Monica]
If you want me, you got to know me
If you want my love (c'mon)
You gotta wait, my love (shake 'em off, shake 'em off)
Baby, that's the way it's got to be
Get to know me (shake 'em off, shake 'em off)
[Chorus to end]
Verse 1:
He's my man and I know it
Cause I get a tremblin' deep in my soul
That I can't ignore and I can't control it
What a man, whoa!
He's my fortress
I'm safe from harm when everything is all wrong
May not play ball and ain't trippin on my record deal
Still he is to me an amazing thrill
He's my man and I'm proud about it
I'm gon' shout about it
Ain't no doubt about it
Chorus:
That's my man
Ain't gon' let no one say nothing bad 'bout my baby
That's my man
Spent too many nights on my knees praying to Jesus
I'm his lady
That's my man
Ladies you know a good man is hard to find
And now I got mine
You better believe it
That's my man
He's the only one for me
Verse 2:
Slow your role
See how you gon' tell me 'bout my man when you ain't got a man of your own
See I already know
You can't stand my man really loves me
Don't cheat, or beat, or sleep around on me and cares about my needs
We fuss and fight but he knows when it's over
That every night I'm positive my man is coming home to me
He's my man and I'm proud about it
I'm gon' shout about it
Ain't no doubt about it
Chorus:
That's my man
Ain't gon' let no one say nothing bad 'bout my baby
That's my man
Well in a fight keep it right and keep it tight
I'm his lady
That's my man
You say he's cheating
I didn't see it, I don't believe it
He's my baby
That's my man
He's the only one for me
Bridge:
(Ladies...)
If you're willing to do whatever
Look in his eyes and tell him I love you boy
Yeah, yeah and if he's not there at the moment
Call him and let him know I love you boy
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
God smiled on me when he brought you in my life
Never wanna do you wrong
Always gonna do you right
You mean more to me than anything else in the world
You'll always be my man
I'll always be your girl
(God smiled on me when...Repeat 2x)
And I need you for the rest of my lfe
Ooo I love my man
Makes me feel so good inside
Ooo I feel so sorry for the ladies that don't have love in their life
Cause mine loves me right
Ooo I said that God smiled on me
He gave me something that I've never seen
Oh and I love him
Said that I love him
Oh I love him, I love him, I love him
Excuse me, can I please talk to you for a minute?
Uh-huh, sure, you know you look kinda familiar
Yeah you do to, but um
I just wanted to know do you know somebody named
You know his name
Oh yeah, definitely, I know his name
I just want to let you that he's mine
No, no, he's mine
You need to give it up, had about enough
It's not hard to see the boy is mine
I'm sorry that you seem to be confused
He belongs to me, the boy is mine
I think it's time we got this straight
Sit and talk face to face
There is no way you could mistake
Him for your man are you insane?
See I know that you may be
Just a bit jealous of me
'Cause you're blind if you can't see
That his love is all in me
See I tried to hesitate
I didn't want to say what he told me
He said without me he couldn't make
It through the day, ain't that a shame
But maybe you misunderstood
'Cause I can't see how he could
Wanna take his time and that's all good
All my love was all it took
(The boy is mine)
You need to give it up
Had about enough
(Enough)
It's not hard to see
The boy is mine
(The boy is mine)
I'm sorry that you
(Sorry that you)
Seem to be confused
(Confused)
He belongs to me, the boy is mine
Must you do the things you do?
You keep on acting like a fool
You need to know it's me, not you
And if you didn't know, girl, it's true
I think that you should realize
Try to understand why
He is a part of my life
I know it's killing you inside
You can say what you wanna say
What we have you can't take
From the truth you can't escape
I can tell the real from the fake
When will you get the picture?
You're the past, I'm the future
Get away, it's my time to shine
If you didn't know, the boy is mine
You need to give it up
Had about enough
(Enough)
It's not hard to see
(To see)
The boy is mine
(The boy is mine)
I'm sorry that you
(Sorry that you)
Seem to be confused
(Seem to be confused)
He belongs to me
(He belongs to me)
The boy is mine
(The boy is mine)
You need to give it up
Had about enough
(Had about enough)
It's not hard to see
(He's mine, he's mine, he's mine)
The boy is mine
I'm sorry that you
(I'm so sorry)
Seem to be confused
(Seem to be confused)
He belongs to me
(He belongs to me)
The boy is mine
You can't destroy this love I've found
Your silly games I won't allow
The boy is mine without a doubt
You might as well throw in the towel
What makes you think that he wants you
When I'm the one that brought him to
The special place that's in my heart?
He was my love right from the start
You need to give it up
Had about enough
It's not hard to see
The boy is mine
I'm sorry that you
(I'm sorry that you)
Seem to be confused
(Seem to be confused)
He belongs to me
(He belongs to me)
The boy is mine
You need to give it up

It's not hard to see
The boy is mine
I'm sorry that you
Seem to be confused
(Seem to be confused)
He belongs to me
(He belongs to me)
The boy is mine
(That boy is mine)
You need to give it up
(Not yours, but mine)
Had about enough
(Not yours, but mine)
It's not hard to see
The boy is mine
I'm sorry that you
Seem to be confused
He belongs to me
Oh oh oh, oh yeah yes, oh oh oh, my, my
Here we are face to face
With the memories that can't be erased
Although we need each other
Things that changed, it's not the same
Sometimes it makes me wonder
Where would I be, if you hadn't discovered
Which I did, inside of me
I know there was something, that we could compare
Oh, well, I,
- Never meant to cause you no pain
I just wanna go back to being the same
Well I, only wanna make things right
Before you walk out of my life
Remembering the good times
From a portrait hung on high
It's filled with so much color
And the laughter we left behind
I made the choice and you couldn't decide
I made the choice, I was wrong you were right
Deep down inside, I apologize
Though I made plans with you
To always have time for you
(Before you walk out of my life)
I guess it's true, cannot live without you
Don't ever go away, ooh oh yeah

With wet cigar holders right between my thighs

Listen
Boy, it's been a long time
Since the last time I saw you
Feels like nothin' changed
Since we've been together
I must admit that I go crazy bout' you
And I can see it in your eyes
That there's somethin' you want to say to me
'Cause usually right now
You'll be holdin' on to me
But instead your telling me
Tha things have changed, they're not the same
And recently you found someone that you
Decided to dedicate your whole life to
And what we had is 'bout to be through
And baby, what hurts the most is letting go
I just want you to know that I love you so
I know things are different now, you've gone and settled down
I thought for sure you'd always wait me
I'll tell you what hurts the most is I should have took the chance
Boy, when you came to me and offered me your hand
Silly of me I thought I'd always have your heart
I had the chance to have all the love oh, how I'm missing now
I hate that there is someone new
Comin' in and takin' my place
Doin' the things that we used to do
And makin' love to you
And oh, what am I supposed to do
It's killin' me 'cause I want you
And you should have known my love was true
And there's no one else in this world for me but you
But things have changed, they're not the same
And recently you found someone that you
Decided to dedicate your whole life to
And what we had is got to be through
And baby, what hurts the most is letting go
I just want you to know that I love you so
You know things are different now, you're gonna settle down
And I thought for sure you'd always wait for me
I'll tell you what hurts the most is I should have took a chance
Boy, when you came to me and offered me your hand
Silly of me I thought I'd always have your heart
I had the chance to have all your love oh, how I'm missing now
I know that I'm the one to blame for losing you, oh yeah
I really, really wish that I could be happy for you
There's just one thing I need you to do
Don't you touch her like you used to touch me
Don't you love her like you really needed me
Don't you love her like you used to love me
Baby what hurts the most is letting go
I just want you to know that I love you so
I know things are different now, you're gonna settle down
I thought for sure you'd always wait me
I'll tell you what hurts the most is I should have took a chance
Boy, when you came to me and offered me your hand
Silly of me I thought I'd always have your heart
I had the chance to have all your love oh, how I'm missing now
What hurts the most is letting go
Just to let you know I love you so
What hurts the most is letting go
Just to let you know I love you so
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la... ooh
[Verse 1:]
I kinda feel like time is passing us by,
But it's killing me to leave you 'lone,
Cry all day long.
Baby I'm so sure that we belong,
Look in my eyes, they never lie.
[Climb:]
I see it so clear right now,
I'm riding shotgun, we're headed there.
If I should disappear right now,
You wouldn't notice it or care.
Not at all!
[Chorus:]
Baby you don't see nothing,
You must be blind, out your mind, out your something.
I see us so clearly, it's like 20/20.
I see us in love, like the people on TV.
I see us in 3D... I see us in 3D.
I see us together, it looks like forever.
I see us in love, now don't it look better?
In 3D
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la... ooh
[Verse 2:]
Lately it seems like you don't even try,
I feel you wanna be left alone (like I did something wrong),
Baby come back to my door (door),
You'll feel so close in my sight (oh I, oh I, oh I)
Open your eyes.
[Climb:]
I see it so clear right now,
I'm riding shotgun, we're headed there.
If I should disappear right now,
You wouldn't notice it or care (Notice me or care).
Not at all!
[Chorus:]
Baby you don't see nothing,
You must be blind, out your mind, out your something.
I see us so clearly, it's like 20/20,
I see us in love, like the people on TV.
I see us in 3D... I see us in 3D.
I see us together, it looks like forever.
I see us in love, now don't it look better?
In 3D
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la... oh
[Verse 3:]
Baby I can see us from a mile away
(Cause love is right in front of my face)
And it's so close I can touch it.
Oh baby give us a chance,
We will see.
[Chorus:]
Baby you don't see nothing,
You must be blind, out your mind, out your something.
I see us so clearly, it's like 20/20,
I see us in love, like the people on TV.
I see us in 3D... I see us in 3D.
I see us together, it looks like forever.
I see us in love, now don't it look better?
In 3D
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
Started as a little girl
Singing so changed my world
Flipped my world upside down
I got lost and I couldn't be found
So much on my shoulders
So much on my mind
Since no one can help me
I think I just need some time
Sometimes I wish I could hide away
Looking for a place to getaway
Getaway from all the heartache and pain that life can bring
I really don't want to sound
Like I can't hold my ground
But everybody needs some time
That they can getaway
Sometimes I wish I was invisible
'Cause then no one will know
Where I am to ask me for anything
'Cause I've given so much of me
When it's a time for me to receive
'Cause Monica has her needs
Who's going to look out for me?
Sometimes I wish I could hide away
Looking for a place to getaway
Getaway from all the heartache and pain that life can bring
I really don't want to sound
Like I can't hold my ground
But everybody needs some time
That they can getaway
You know I'm not superwoman
And I'm not made of steel
I try my best to handle
All I have to deal with
It's not as easy as it seems
And to think this was my dream
Now for everything I have I'm grateful
But sometimes I want to get away
Sometimes I wish I could hide away
Looking for a place to getaway
Getaway from all the heartache and pain that life can bring
I really don't want to sound
Like I can't hold my ground
But everybody needs some time
That they can getaway
Sometimes I wish I could hide away
Looking for a place to getaway
Getaway from all the heartache and pain that life can bring
I really don't want to sound
Like I can't stand my ground
But everybody needs some time
I don't want to make this sound so cold
But every now and then I'm gonna let you know, ohh
There's gotta be something givin' to me
All you need to know is that I'm a fly young lady
So do what you got to do if it's me you chose
But I got the oohhh's baby, yah hear ohh
I'm gonna give up some time if it's worth my while
Cause it's my world, I'm playin' my game
You gotta get down
With the way I'm runnin' things
Or you won't be around
You gotta get down with me, me
You gotta get down
With the way it's gotta be
Turn your frown to a smile
You gotta get down with me, me
You gotta get down
Ooh baby, oh you gotta get down with me
Down
Hey...
Down
Down, umm yeah
You gotta get down with me, me
I've heard your kinda nice (what's yours now it's that slow??)
Take the time, learn the ways then we can roll
Have you ever met a girl that knows her thang
Lookin' kinda fly but baby can you swang
So do what you got to do if it's me you chose
But I got the oohhh's baby, I got the oohs baby
I'm gonna give up some time if it's worth my while
Cause it's my world, I'm playin' my game
You gotta get
Down
You gotta get
Down
You gotta get
I didn't ask to go with you to Mexico.
I really didn't need the shoppin spees in
L.A, on Melrose,boy if you didn't know it well know you know.
I didn't need the furs, or the jewelry because material things they don't mean much to me,
and ever since you've been gone,
I've been holdin us down on my own
I never evr cheated.
I never ever lied.
So you could stop asking me,
asking me why?
Why i never left you?
And why I kept it real?
And why i'm still with you?
U should've known better than to think I would leave.
U should've better than to doubt me dear.
It don't matter if you're,matter if you're down.
Either way i'm gonna be around.
U shoud've known that I would stay by your side.
U should've known your girl was gonna ride or die.
And it just don't matter if you're rich, or poor,out'or in,
doing 5 to 10.
U should've known better.
What makes you think that I would forget about you.
Think about it,who comes to see ya.
Every saturday and monday,
I was on that reciever.
Me (me),
Your girl (girl)
Your life (life)
Your world (world)
Family and friends they just don't understand.
They say I should leave you alone, but I say that they all should just leave us alone.
Don't you get it?
No matter what they think about you,
It's been a while
Since I saw you
And since you hurt me
And it's been a while
Since I saw started
Back doing my thing
And if you wanna know
Why I've been on the low
What you see was me
Getting to know me
And now it's time to see
That I
I've learnd some things
And I've been some places
That I chose to go
And I saw some faces
But I know that's the way life is
And it's time to get back to this
Back to
*Back to what I love, giving up hugs
Taking time to say, "What's up?"
To my girls and to all my thugs
Back to selling out shows, doing videos
Letting all my people know
I'm back and I won't lose track*
I heard some things
Things that weren't true
Supposed to be about me
But I have a dream
And I won't let nobody stop me
I tell you know now
That I'm gonna stay around
And that they can do them
'Cause I'm a do me
And now it's time to see
That I
I've learnd some things
And I've been some places
That I chose to go
And I saw some faces
But I know that's the way life is
And it's time to get back to this
Back to what I love
Ooh, it feels good to be back
And, ooh, how could people think that
That I, I wouldn't get my spot back
And for those who thought that just know
I can't believe he's gone
Why'd you leave?
Sometimes it hurts so bad
He's the kind of guy that runs the street
But he treats me good
And he makes his dough illegally
That's how he's taking care of me
And I respect
The fact
That he's chosen that life
But it keeps me up late at night
And I just can't spend my time
Wondering where he's at
Is he okay
Wanna be by his side
But I commit a crime
Bonny to his Clyde
And I don't wanna live that way
I love my baby so
But he's not here no more
Hard for me to understand
So I wrote him this song
When I look him in his eyes
Knew I couldn't change his mind
So I wrote this melody
And I'm saying sweet goodbye
Though he promised that he could never put me in harm's way
That it is something that he can't control
Cause the game
Remains the same
And now he says he wants out of it
But he's in too deep
And the only way that he would go is killing him or leaving me
So this is where I'm at
And it hurts so bad
That I had to choose
If I wanna live or die with you
I love my baby so
But he's not here no more
Hard for me to understand
So I wrote him this song
When I looked him in his eyes
Knew I couldn't change his mind
So I wrote him this melody
I'm singing sweet goodbye
I tried to give him hope
And promised him my life
But I don't know what made him want to leave this life
And as he went away
A tear fell from my eye
And there'no turning back...there's only goodbye
I love my baby so
But he's not here no more
Hard for me to understand
So I wrote him this song
When I looked him in his eyes
Knew I couldn't change his mind
So I wrote him this melody
I looked at you a thousand times
This time when I looked at you
There was something new
How could I be so blind
We shared our secrets in the dark
Though we were only friends
I don't know when the feeling changed
Within my heart
Baby, oooo I keep it to myself
Baby, oooo fallin' in love with you
Oooo the harder it gets
But you don't know the love I'm feelin'
Oooo I keep it to myself
Baby, oooo fallin' in love with you
Oooo I don't wanna push you away
'Cause no one makes me feel like you do
I dream of you all through the night
Holding you tenderly
Right here wrapped in my arms so tight
But when I start to tell you how I feel
You tell me 'bout someone new who's right for you
If you only knew my love's for real
Baby, oooo I keep it to myself
Baby, oooo fallin' in love with you
The harder it gets
But you don't know the pain I'm feelin'
Oooo I keep it to myself
Baby, oooo fallin' in love with you
Oooo I don't wanna push you away
'Cause no one makes me feel like you do
I wonder if you feel the same way I do
Then we both could be together forever
So why do I hide all my feelings inside?
If I know you're the only one for me
The deeper that it gets
The harder that I fall
Baby, oooo I keep it to myself
Baby, oooo fallin' in love with you
Oooo the harder it gets
'Cause no one knows the pain I'm feelin'
Oooo I keep it to myself
Don't you ever leave me, you know baby
Oooo I don't wanna push you away
Don't you ever go away from me, baby
I love you baby
Love you crazy
I love you baby
Monica, Twista, Twista, you already know
It's the 17th, one week before the day you were born
I been makin' big plans just for over a month
Tryin' to make this the best birthday you ever had
Show you that you're my baby
Damn, all this strain got me feelin' somethin's wrong
Pulled up to my gate, they keep sayin', ?He's gone?
Found envelopes in between my door
Biggest day got me panickin', what the hell this letter gonna read?
Hell no, you say you don't want it no more
Hell no, you say you can't give me what I want
Hell no, how you just gonna leave
When I stayed wit you through hard times and you cheated?
Hell no, I hate to say it but I need it
Hell no, God, please talk to me
Hell no, your so called love was so deep when it told you
You should run far and not give a damn about me
How could you leave me when you see me desperately
In need of what we had before? How could you leave home
I cried so many times but never did it cross my mind
To think but let it go, how could you leave home
Didn't even ever see if we ever meant this shit before
But we been down this road before, how could you leave home
How could you leave me, baby? Please my heart is beating
For the beat we had before, how could you leave home
Now I need you, wanna laugh, wanna stand
Wanna get just one more chance just to see you
All my friends, all my kin say, ?Mo, just let that end?
But I breath you
In the driveway, I found pictures on the ground of our first date
I never in a million years thought this would be me
I'm trapped in love with somebody that no longer thinks
I'm somebody special, look at me
Hell no, you say you don't want it no more
Hell no, you say you can't give me what I want
Hell no, how you just gonna leave
When I stayed wit you through hard times and you cheated?
Hell no, I hate to say it but I need it
Hell no, God, please talk to me
Hell no, your so called love was so deep that it told you
You should run far and not give a damn about me
How could you leave me when you see me desperately
In need of what we had before? How could you leave home?
I cried so many times but never did it cross my mind
To think but let it go, how could you leave home?
Didn't even ever see if we ever meant this shit before
But we been down this road before, how could you leave home?
How could you leave me, baby? Please my heart is beating
For the beat we had before, how could you leave home?
Monica and Twista, y'all
I remember when you said I couldn't get none of that
Then I remember when you let me hit it from the back
I remember we was young and sprung
And steady talkin' on the phone and how we both kept runnin' back
To each other, we were always together forever to the end
I don't really know why I froze up
Plannin' for a weddin' but gettin' married, it's scary
Now I got you cryin' 'cause a nigga didn't show up
Can't really tell you why but I'm Twista from the Chi
And I'm dyin' inside 'cause I know I really want you
So for leavin' one day, I will have to give you the answer, girl
But right now, I can't tell you why I left, girl
Sweet personality and good sex, girl
Fear will take a man life, you suppose to be my wife
Goodbye, hope to see you in the next world
You was all up under me, actin' like you was so in love
I was talkin' 'bout you but thug nigga, what you runnin' for?
Cop wit you in the Benz, you the first one seen on the block wit it
Took you to the club, showed you how to 'Lean Wit It, Rock Wit It'
You was bold when you wanna get some of that
When you wanna hit the hole like a running back
Then you left, now you wanna come runnin' back
Hell no, nigga, I don't wanna hear none of that
I know you quick, betta spit that shit to so
All I ever wanna say to you is
How could you leave me when you?
How could you leave me when you?
How could you leave me when you see me desperately
In need of what we had before? How could you leave home?
I cried so many times but never did it cross my mind
To think but let it go, how could you leave home?
Didn't even ever see if we ever meant this shit before
But we been down this road before, how could you leave home?
How could you leave me, baby? Please my heart is beating
For the beat we had before, how could you leave home?
All the women I caught you with
Still I didn't leave but I didn't forget
All those women I caught you with
Maybe I didn't leave but I didn't forget
All those women I caught you with
But I didn't leave but I didn't forget
All those women, women I caught you with
I didn't leave but I didn't forget
Holla, new monica shit. yes. oh baby. yep

OutKast's rap
Chorus until fade
I think your wrong, you think your right
And all that equals up to is a fight
Let's compromise before we go to bed tonight
'Cause if the fight don't die before the sun rise
We may wake up on the wrong side
Let's not go to bed mad tonight
Time is ticking, my eyes are getting heavy
But I know we gotta squash this
Before it was popping, it's time for dropping
Copping attitudes right now
Nothings, nothing 'cause this ain't nothing
Don't you know that I love you?
So start to stopping, think about it
You'll see it's stupid
Argue about things so critical
And you heated over nothing and just hang up the phone
I want, wanna talk in the mood
See we need a resolution like that Aaliyah song
I think your wrong, you think your right
And all that equals up to is a fight
Let's compromise before we go to bed tonight
'Cause if the fight don't die before the sun rise
We may wake up on the wrong side
Let's not go to bed mad tonight
What time is it? I'm not on a mission
To stay up with you all night
It makes me so sick to my stomach
Every time we argue and fight
I mean it girl, my head gets lite, it just ain't right
I'm fed right up, please
It's 2:15 in the morning
There is no need
Argue about things so critical
And you heated over nothing and just hang up the phone
I want, wanna talk in the mood
See we need a resolution like that Aaliyah song
I think your wrong, you think your right
And all that equals up to is a fight
Let's compromise before we go to bed tonight
'Cause if the fight don't die before the sun rise
We may wake up on the wrong side
Let's not go to bed mad tonight
I'm not trying to be mad at you
Why you make me wanna not fool with you?
Can't you see I'm tired girl?
Besides the fact it's a quarter past two
A girl like me got things to do
So let's see each others point of view
I think your wrong, you think your right
And all that equals up to is a fight
Let's compromise before we go to bed tonight
'Cause if the fight don't die before the sun rise
We may wake up on the wrong side
Let's not go to bed mad tonight
I think your wrong, you think your right
And all that equals up to is a fight
Let's compromise before we go to bed tonight
'Cause if the fight don't die before the sun rise
We may wake up on the wrong side
Let's not go to bed mad tonight
I just wanna love you baby
I place no one above you baby
You're the only one for me
Let's not argue my baby
Everything you want and need
And my baby come and take my hand
I got you baby
I can't believe he's gone
Why'd you leave?
Sometimes it hurts so bad
He's the kind of guy that runs the street
But he treats me good
And he makes his dough illegally
That's how he's taking care of me
And I respect
The fact
That he's chosen that life
But it keeps me up late at night
And I just can't spend my time
Wondering where he's at
Is he okay
Wanna be by his side
But I commit a crime
Bonny to his Clyde
And I don't wanna live that way
I love my baby so
But he's not here no more
Hard for me to understand
So I wrote him this song
When I look him in his eyes
Knew I couldn't change his mind
So I wrote this melody
And I'm saying sweet goodbye
Though he promised that he could never put me in harm's way
That it is something that he can't control
Cause the game
Remains the same
And now he says he wants out of it
But he's in too deep
And the only way that he would go is killing him or leaving me
So this is where I'm at
And it hurts so bad
That I had to choose
If I wanna live or die with you
I love my baby so
But he's not here no more
Hard for me to understand
So I wrote him this song
When I looked him in his eyes
Knew I couldn't change his mind
So I wrote him this melody
I'm singing sweet goodbye
I tried to give him hope
And promised him my life
But I don't know what made him want to leave this life
And as he went away
A tear fell from my eye
And there'no turning back...there's only goodbye
I love my baby so
But he's not here no more
Hard for me to understand
So I wrote him this song
When I looked him in his eyes
Knew I couldn't change his mind
So I wrote him this melody
I'm singing sweet goodbye
Oh oh oh, oh yeah yes, oh oh oh, my, my
Here we are face to face
With the memories that can't be erased
Although we need each other
Things that changed, it's not the same
Sometimes it makes me wonder
Where would I be, if you hadn't discovered
Which I did, inside of me
I know there was something, that we could compare
Oh, well, I,
- Never meant to cause you no pain
I just wanna go back to being the same
Well I, only wanna make things right
Before you walk out of my life
Remembering the good times
From a portrait hung on high
It's filled with so much color
And the laughter we left behind
I made the choice and you couldn't decide
I made the choice, I was wrong you were right
Deep down inside, I apologize
Though I made plans with you
To always have time for you
(Before you walk out of my life)
I guess it's true, cannot live without you
Don't ever go away, ooh oh yeah
Before you walk out of my life
[Monica:]
Who's textin' his phone?
I'm bought to go
All in this thang again
Why you keep slippin'?
Oh really?

Straight after you

I'll break the code
And I'll call them back
You a liar
And I don't want you
No more
And I'm walkin' out
The door
Boy, bye-bye
Bye-bye
I apologize for what I've done, I admit that I was losing control
Didn't know that I was selling my soul, to someone who didn't care at all
Couldn't see that you were bad for me, gave so much that it was making me weak
Now I can't believe the way that it feels, to finally be free
Chours:
I've moved on and I'm strong
I'm going back to the place, where I know I belong
And I'm glad, that you're gone
Cause you're not what I need, I'm Beleiving in me
I've moved on and I'm strong
I'm going back to the place, where I know I belong
Cause I'm right and you're wrong
Cause you're not what I need, this time I'm beleiving in me
The love I had for you was so deep, I didn't notice there was something wrong with me
When someone asked me was there anything I need, I would cry and tell them pray for me
But now I know exactly what it is, so I'm changing up the way that I live
And I'm never letting go of my dreams, and baby you'll see
Chours:
I've moved on and I'm strong
I'm going back to the place, where I know I belong And I'm glad, that you're gone
Cause you're not what I need, I'm Beleiving in me
I've moved on and I'm strong I'm going back to the place, where I know I belong Cause I'm right and you're wrong
Cause you're not what I need, I'm finally beleiving in me
So I hope you can forgive me, I'm not gonna be the way that I used to be
Starting over can be so scary, but I'm gonna believe
Promise I'm not gonna let me down, and my transformation's starting right now
But I'm really glad you stuck around, cause you believed in me
I'm finally beleiving in me....
Chours:
I've moved on and I'm strong
I'm going back to the place, where I know I belong
And I'm glad, that you're gone
Cause you're not what I need, I'm Beleiving in me
I've moved on and I'm strong
Going back to the place, where I know I belong
Cause I'm right and you're wrong
He don't love me like he used to
He don't hold me, he don't kiss me

The air that I breathe
My sun so I see
You're everything to me
Say it

They say when you find the one
There'll be no second guessing
You'd feel it deep in your heart
You'll know that it was destined
The feelin' inside will let you know
Something that you can't deny, just let it grow
They say it's better to love then never love at all
To appreciate all the good sometimes you gotta fall
But I was foolish
I shouldn't let you go
But now I miss you
I gotta let you know
I need you back, back in my life
I need your kiss, kiss in my life
And it's been so long since you been gone
Baby, won't you come back home?
You only get one
One love
One in a lifetime
You only get one
One love
One in a lifetime
And I can't believe that I almost missed the signs
Right in front of my eyes
And now I know the love is real, it's hard to say why
You only get one
One love
One in a lifetime
And that one is you
They say that pleasure
Comes with pain
And I'm so used to being whole
It's hard to be half again
And you gotta feel the same way
My tears are steady falling like a pouring rain
Tell me, will the forecast change?
If you love somebody, gotta let 'em know
Tomorrow's never promised, you gotta let it show
If you love somebody you gotta let 'em know
Tomorrow's never promised, you gotta let it show
I need you back, back in my life
I need your kiss, kiss in my life
And it's been so long since you been gone
Baby, won't you come back home?
You only get one
One love
One in a lifetime
You only get one
One love
One in a lifetime
Can't believe that I almost missed the signs
Right in front of my eyes
And now I know the love is real, it's hard to say why
You only get one
One love
One in a lifetime
And that one is you
And that one is you
And that one is you
And that one is you, is you
I will climb the highest mountain
Swim the deepest oceans for you, you, you
I will walk across the desert
Just to get that message to you, you, you
There ain't a thing in this world that I wouldn't do
Right hand to the man, boy, I'm tellin' the truth
So all my ladies, if you feel me then put your hands up
For that one, for that one
You only get one
One love
One in a lifetime
You only get one
One love
One in a lifetime
And I can't believe that I almost missed the signs
Right in front of my eyes
And now I know the love is real, it's hard to say why
You only get one
One love
One in a lifetime
One in a lifetime
That one
That one
That one
That one
You only get one
One love
One in a lifetime
You only get one
One love
One in a lifetime
And I can't believe that I almost missed the signs
Right in front of my eyes
And now I know the love is real, it's hard to say why
You only get one
One love
One in a lifetime
Mirror, mirror
Oh, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
From the second I laid eyes on you
In the mirror, in that dressing room
Seeing you with me, I finally knew
The picture was complete
I used to have my share of lonely days
Beneath the makeup and the darkest shades
But ever since you came I know
The meaning of true love again
It's not the bags or the trips or the clothes
It's not the fans or the sold-out shows
It's the way that you see through my soul
I'm so exposed
When I look at myself in the mirror
I don't have to feel ashamed
Now it couldn't be much clearer
I'll never have to search again
When I look at myself in the mirror
I don't even recognize the girl [Incomprehensible]
'Cause now I sit by my side
When I look at myself in the mirror
No, nothing's ever gonna be the same
Forget the fortune, you can keep the fame
Maybe if I had to choose, you know
I'd trade it every time for you
'Cause this reflection that I'm staring at
Is so amazing I can't turn my back
And every time I look at you and me together
Boy, I know the truth, oh
It's not the bags or the trips or the clothes
It's not the fans or the sold-out shows
It's the way that you see through my soul
I'm so exposed
When I look at myself in the mirror
I don't have to feel ashamed
Now it couldn't be much clearer
I'll never have to search again
When I look at myself in the mirror
I don't even recognize the girl [Incomprehensible]
'Cause now I sit by my side
When I look at myself in the mirror
I can't help it
I can't help it
I can't help it
I can't help it
Now she's running from love, that's all I'm guilty of
And I don't have to search no more
Found what I'm looking for in the mirror, in the mirror
When I look at myself in the mirror
I don't have to feel ashamed
Now it couldn't be much clearer
I'll never have to search again
When I look at myself in the mirror
I don't even recognize the girl [Incomprehensible]
'Cause now I sit by my side
When I look at myself
Baby, I see you, baby, I see me
Hope that we could be forever
In the mirror, in the mirror
Baby, I see you, baby, I see me
Hope that we could be forever
Look at Monica walking in her sleep
Look at Monica running through the fields
In her dream, so serene
Monica, Monica
Hush, don't you say a word
Did you see the smile she made today?
Look at Monica
Look at Monica
Morning's coming ever so fast
Shadow's reality's cast
More like a dream that just won't last
Look at Monica walking in her sleep
Look at Monica running through the fields
In her dream, so serene
Monica, Monica
Please keep quiet, let her sleep

Rock, then bend my knees, everytime tha beat drop
Rock, then bend my knees, everytime tha beat drop
You know pimpin' make tha beat drop, and with a laptop
I make 'em do it, do it as soon as the beat drop
Might throw my towels out like Nick, I like to wyle out
I'ma stay in the game until I fall out
First I lean, grab a ball and then I pop wit it
When they bring the mics, the crowd, I rock wit it
And licks, tryin' to get it quick
When the songs come on, they like, ?That's my ****?
I can't help who I'm is, when they play my shh
I just love to dance everytime tha beat drop
I love to wyle out, damn right, shake it all night
Hey, that's my jam everytime tha beat drop

And you work it real slow, you can do it
Move it 'til you make him lose it
He gon' be a fan everytime tha beat drop
I know you used to seein' Mo laid back
So for the most part, you think I'm like that
You about to get a glimpse of the fit

Always in the club, holdin' up the wall

I'm talkin' 'bout some'n that'll make you sweat
And when I talk, well, I'm through talkin'
I'm about to do some, move some, let you see some'n
When I say get gutta it's enough said
Do the bounce like you over on Bankhead
And then if anybody got a problem with the way you doin'
You look 'em dead in the face and you say

I just love to dance everytime tha beat drop
I love to wyle out, damn right, shake it all night
Hey, that's my jam everytime tha beat drop
I said ooh, all the ladies in the club grab a dude
And you work it real slow, you can do it
Move it 'til you make him lose it
He gon' be a fan everytime tha beat drop
I trick stats like killers and I blow that money
I'm drunk off the Goose, so I throw that money
I'm spendin' white T cash, yeah, that throw back money
When I step off in the spot they like I know that's money
And my chain so scented, the colors diamonds' unique, man

Damn and he ain't fresh as I'm is
It's DFB, ***** and I can't, I can't, I can't

You think your slick in every way changing up on your calls on your phone everyday Is there
something that you're trying to hide from me? I never gave you reason to Run and take your calls
in the other room. Am I the only one or is somebody else kissing at you? Is this my imagination?
Things ain't always what they seem. Cause I don't want to be.
- Just another name in your little black book Just another face in the crowd and it's got me
shook. I've got to mean a little more to you Than a space in your list of things to do. Another
g-shock gun in your Benz. Another dime piece that you can show all your friends. You can call me
crazy, say I'm insecure. But I don't wanna be just another girl.
ooooh ohhhh ohhh mmm hhmmm Strange how you claim to tell all the truth. When the passenger seat
in your car has been moved And you swore that there was no one else but you. And something else you can't
explain why'd you called me by somebody else's name. You say it's history, your player days are
through or so you say. Is this my imagination? Things ain't always what they seem cause I don't
want to be
Tell me, how you lie or is it my suspicious mind.
I've gotta know the truth if I am just another girl you treated wrong.
Another one you string along Is it you and me, is it two or three?
It's just one of them days,
When I wanna be all alone.
Its just one of them days,
When I gotta be all alone.
It's just one of them days,
Don't take it personal.
I just wanna be all alone,
and you think I treat you wrong.
I wanna take some time out to think things through.
I know it always feels like im doing you wrong but I'm so in love with you.
So understand that I'm only in love,
You're the only one I need.
So have no thought that i want to leave
And baby trust me please.
It's just one of those days that a girl goes through
When I'm angry inside,
Don't wanna take it out on you.
Just one of them things.
Don't take it personal.
I just wanna be all alone
And I you think I treat you wrong.
Don't take it personal
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby.
Don't take it personal.
I sit and think about everything we do,
And I find myself in misery and that ain't cool.
Hey now I really wanna be with you the hole way through.
But the way you make me feel inside leaves me confused.
As I swing back mood to mood it's not because of you.
I never want you to be insecure,
So won't you understand that I'm only in love, youre the only I need.
I be there for you when you need me boy so baby don't you leave.
It's just one of those days
That a girl goes through
When I'm angry inside,

Miss Thang.. (oohh)
Miss Thang.. (Ooh ahh ooh..)
Miss Thang.. (Oh yeah..)
Couldn't wait to understand
I grew up faster than the rest
It affected the ways of my attitude
But don't take it as I'm rude
Now I'm fly as I can be
Got responsibilities
But I know when I'm right I'm right
And when I'm wrong as I can be
But it's all right for me to think it's all about me
Too many people tryin' to check, but they can't see
I know you wouldn't want to think that I'm nieve
Said I may be young, but I'm experienced
In all I need to know, that's why I'm
Miss Thang (Because I know I've got it goin' on, they call me..)
Miss Thang (Miss Thang, yeah..)
Miss Thang (It's the way that I carry on, that I'm Miss Thang...)
Miss Thang (Miss Thang, baby..)
I meet guys that are my age, but they can't relate to me
Because I'm too much for their minds, and their young mentality
Confidence is what you bold
And my friends are much too old
But I swing out when they swang
And that's how I got my name
But it's all right for me to think it's all about me
Too many people tryin' to check but they can't see
I know you wouldn't wanna think that I'm nieve
Said I may be young, but I'm experienced
In all I need to know, that's why I'm...
Miss Thang (Because I know I got it goin' on, they call me..)

Off in your own

So let me know whatcha gonna do?
Stay or go 'cause I'm not waiting
Baby, yes or no, I'm about to decide for you
Stay or go, stay or go, stay or go

Tried to give you real love

But when I act like I'm done with you
That's when you decide you wanna stay

Too fly to put up with your day to day
So let me know whatcha gonna do?
Stay or go 'cause I'm not waiting
Yes or no, I'm about to decide for you

Stay or go, stay or go

And I'm still standing, standing, standing, standing
I'm still standing, standing, standing, standing
I had a lover take his own in front of me
I asked God, why is this happening to me?
But I didn't fold, I held my own
And now I'm deep in love with who I belong
(This is my life)
They say with age comes wisdom
And the white flag, I can't give 'em
Tryin' to tell you how it's s'posed to be
See, this is more than just a song to me
'Cause I
I been up against ropes
Everything you're going through
I been there before, seen them all come
And I seen them all go
You can bet your last that
My head won't hit the floor, never
And I'm still standing, standing, standing, standing
I'm still standing, standing, standing, standing
I'm unbreakable, baby
Luda, yeah, it's a family affair
I may have done the things they say I did
But I'm not who they say I am
Try to throw my name in the dirt
But I really don't give a damn
I'm still standing like the statue of liberty
And I put my name in the history books
So you'll forever remember me
Remember me as the toughest warrior
Or the ultimate fighter
'Cause I'm the truth and nothing but
It's like my hands on the bible
And it's the survival of the fittest
The realest, it's not a facade
Still standing on my two feet
'Cause I'm a child of God
Do something
I been up against ropes
Everything you're going through
I been there before, seen them all come
And I seen them all go
You can bet your last that
My head won't hit the floor, never
And I'm still standing, standing, standing, standing
I'm still standing, standing, standing, standing
I been up against ropes
Everything you're going through
I been there before, seen them all come
And I seen them all go
You can bet your last that
My head won't hit the floor, never
And I'm still standing, standing, standing, standing
I'm still standing, standing, standing, standing
I'm not gonna give up, never
Come too far to look back, oh
Oh, ohh, I been there before
I've seen it, I've seen it, I've done it
I've done it, I'm done, let me live my life now
I let it go, I let God, I let it go, and I let God
Don't hate me now
I ain't who I used to be no more
I'm still standing, I'm still standing
I'm still standing, oh, I'm still standing
Verse 1
You're my super hero ooh you rock my world
If you show me how i can be your super girl
Give you super super love Cause you're super super hot
Give you more than a little bit Give you everything i've got
Do you think of me Like i think of you
Hoping that what i feel is what you're feeling too
I want too go through a few things that describe

And i'm so glad i found the time tonight

Do you remember me?
I sat upon your knee
I wrote to you with childhood fantasies
Well I'm all grown up now
Can you still help somehow?
I'm not a child but my heart still can dream
So here's my lifeful wish
My grown up Christmas List
Not for myself
But for a world in need
No more lives torn apart
That wars will never start
And time will heal our hearts
Every man will have a friend
That right will always win
And love will never end
This is my grown up Christmas List
May kindness rules our lives
Not just the strong survive
Sweet tears for all the thousand years on mind
This is the world I pray
We will all share some way
Help me begin by reaching out my hand
No more lives torn apart
That wars will never start
And time will heal our hearts
Every man will have a friend
That right will always win
And love will never end
This is my grown up Christmas List
Why does this illusion call the innocence of you?
Maybe when the time believe we can find the truth
No...
No more lives torn apart
That wars will never start
And time will heal our hearts
Every man will have a friend
That right will always win
And love will never end
This is my grown up Christmas List
This is the prayer that I will keep
This is my grown up Christmas list
How dare u go and make me choose
My hustling is what made you, you
You never had nothing until I paid the dues
My word is law I laid the rules
Why you trippin' on a brother about the things he do
Look, work can never matter how I got the loot
But you never hesitate cause you drive the coupe
I made you ball, ain't that the truth?
I never asked for that much
You stay out late every night
Down at the gentlemen's club
Seems like you can't get it right
I knew when I saw the G's
You would be harder to please
You wanted more than enough
That when it got to be rough
First time I was down for you
I thought you really wanted to
But you don't know how much pain it took
To put that cash up for your goods
I See your suit behind the bar
You can't even drive the cars
Sometimes I don't know what to do
And am I worth it to you, baby
See I'm in the Accolate
Coming through ride alone with flakes
The street's my home, up in the zone
Searching a n*gga car tryin' to get my bone
Get my name, wear that thang
I don't know but I'm searching man
Lookin' for that sweet lick
No time for no cheap chick
I'm working
You must believe I gotta get you out of the streets
I disagree when you tell me that you do it for me
I still believe, I know your in a little too deep
But I gotta do what I gotta do to get yu back here with me, babe
I like the cash and all that
But I just can't watch my back
And if they catch me with you
Who knows what they wouldn't do
You've spent too long in this game
Now baby you gotta change
Before I lose you for life
I wanted to be your wife
First time I was down for you
I thought you really wanted to
But you don't know how much pain it took
To put that cash up for your goods
I See your suit behind the bar
You can't even drive the cars
Sometimes I don't know what to do
And am I worth it to you, baby
See baby girl I gotta hustle
See it's something of mine dat I must do
Everything that I do, I did for us two
Getting' mine on the grind is a must too
Plus you want all them finer things
I bought a car, clothes, a diamond ring
Everything's on paper, they keep me on the caper
If it ain't gonna bread then I'm gonna holla at you later, baby
You must believe I gotta get you out of the streets
I disagree when you tell me that you do it for me
I still believe, I know your in a little too deep
But I gotta do what I gotta do to get yu back here with me, babe
You must believe I gotta get you out of the streets
I disagree when you tell me that you do it for me
I still believe, I know your in a little too deep
But I gotta do what I gotta do to get yu back here with me, babe
Outta the Streets, streets, streets, streets, streets
Outta the Streets, streets, streets, streets, streets
Outta the Streets, streets, streets, streets, streets
Outta the Streets, streets, streets, streets, streets
You must believe I gotta get you out of the streets
I disagree when you tell me that you do it for me
I still believe, I know your in a little too deep
But I gotta do what I gotta do to get yu back here with me, babe
You must believe I gotta get you out of the streets
I disagree when you tell me that you do it for me
I still believe, I know your in a little too deep
