Lemar - Time To Grow (2005) by Lemar (보컬) on maniadb.com

I ain't trying to be no gangster, I ain't trying to be no hustler,
Just remember I'm a soul singer.
Might be rolling with my posse,
My jeans might be hanging baggy,
Just remember I'm a soul singer,
I'm a soul man

Bring me your pain and I'll find you a melody,
Tell em your fears baby and I'll sing you the remedy,
Don't let the sun go down without thinking about me,
I'm that doctor you call, just when you fall,
Sweeping you off your feet, Yeah!

[CHORUS]

Lend me your heart, tell me just where you wanna go,
I can make you dance, or just cry at home alone,
When sweet love is leaving, gotta find somewhere to be,
Have no fear, I'm right here,
All roads lead to me.

[CHORUS]

If you need some sexual healing (wake up, wake uo, wake up, wake up),
If you htink it's time to let it go (get up, get up, get up, get up),
If your house is not home,
I'll wipe the tracks from your tears,
Let's stay together through the years.

[CHORUS (X2)]

Find me a melody. Listen!
Give me some Marvin!
Give me some Luther!
Give me some Stevie!
With a little smokey!
Hit me with Teddy!
Give me some Otis!
Show me some Gladys!
Where's my Aretha?
Oh, I'll show you a remedy!

Now here's ther deal honey
It aint about the car crib or money
Life could be oh so gravy
If you'd try to understand me baby
Now we may get mad at each other but
The thing is dont stay mad forever coz
You've been with me through stormy weather and
Us two together be like bird's of a feather when
We fly so high
One body, soul and mind
You pick me up, when i'm coming down
That's why i love having you around

[Chorus]
That love you're giving me
Is sweeter than honey
You're all i'll even need
All you want, i'm gonna be
Don't care about money
It took some time to see
It don't get better than this

You could be my girl forever
We go together like pen meets paper
Want you to bear my soldiers
They can care for us when we grow older
That might sound crazy baby but/
The love i'm feeling for you is alot
I would give you everything I've got
I love the way you love me so much
We fly, so high
One body, soul and mind
You pick me up, when i'm coming down
That's why i love having you around

[Chorus]

And since i met you baby
You touched my heart (deeper than you know)
Yeah! I wanna tell you how i feel about you/
Listen! I Love You!

[Chorus x2]

I seen this girl
She works at the store on my block
Pretty little girl so hot
Feeling her for a minute cos she's got wot I want
She looks so good
Her smile hypnotises me
She's the finest thing I've ever seen
I cud see her with somebody like me
So complete

But wot
Wot if I told her how I feel
Wud she believe that I'm for real
Wot if this is just a crush
On a girl that I don't know
Wot if she's just a fantasy
Maybe she's not the one for me
Think I oughta let it be
Yeah

[Chorus]
I don't know her name or where she's from
She got me trippin like she's the one
She will never know just how I feel
But I don't mind that
Just wanna feel her lips on me
Show her that love that she's feelin me
But I know that its not meant to be
I don't mind that
I'm hooked

I'm saying if she got that look
I feel just like an open book
And its crazy how she got me shook
Like this
I just freeze
When I see you walking down the street
Wid the body I just cant believe
Neva try to make her notice me
Before

Cos wot
Wot if she's too hot to impress
Wot if its something I regret
Think I oughta let it be

[Chorus]

Tomorrow's gonna be the day
I know she closes work at eight
And I'll be there
Braided hair
Think I'll bring 12 roses
Finally I ask her name
And maybe we cud go out someday
Well there's a chance you cud turn me away but
I don't mind that

[Chorus x2]

Oh
Said I don't, said I don't, said I don't
Oh

Yeah oh baby
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah baby

Listen
Yeah Woah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Woah)
Yeah ooh Baby

Everyday was the same old thing
Waking up out of bed
Put my shoes on,
Off to work
Just tryna get ahead
Jumped into my ride
To avoid the lines
Girl I took a different way
Corner of white hart lane
You were passing by
That's when I saw your face
Girl

[Pre-Chorus]
What if I never got your name?
Where wud I be right now
What if I wud have changed my place
I wud have been missing out

[Chorus]
On all we've been through
Oh, oh
What if I never met you?
Don't know wot I do
Oh, oh
What if I never met you?
Got so much to lose
Oh, oh
What if I never met you?
Baby I cant help thinking it
What if

Now looking back
I'm wondering
What if my alarm didn't ring?
It wud be another girl
Riding next to me
For true love I'd still be searching
Scary to think
Just a second late
We wud have never met
The time it was right
Feet was all outside
I'm so glad the lights were red

[Pre chorus]

[Chorus]

It's amazing
How it all happened
Feels like every move I made
Caused that chain reaction
Who wud have thought
Crusin down that avenue
Wud change my life forever
Lead me right next to you

[Pre chorus]

[Chorus x2]

Oh
What if I never made
Oh, oh, oh, oh
What if I never
What if we never
Oh
What if

Reminiscing about the day she first told me u were
Got to ring you to I lie
It wud have been a great November
It was like our love had been reborn
Can't explain the happiness in her voice that day
It made everything make sense
Even though I never knew your name
Now on every night I dry my weeping eyes

Don't think time could ever heal this pain, oh
Sometimes I feel like I'm the one to blame
I can't believe

[Chorus]
I can't believe you've gone away
Life will never be the same
And ill meet u on the other side
And if I see you will u
Call me daddy
I can't believe you've gone away
Wish that I cud see your face
And ill meet u on the other side
And if I see you will u
Call me daddy

Every single day was filled with oh so many choices
Wish it was a boy or girl
Someone who wud change the world
Used to say that you wud grow to be my baby boo
She already had it all planned
You wud be a perfect match
Raised with a loving hand
I will never know u or hold u within these arms

Sometimes she thinks that she's the one to blame, no
Can someone tell me how to stop her pain?

[Chorus]

If you were here right now life wud not be complicated
I'd give my heart and soul just to see you grow
And your mama she wud smile again
All the sleepless nights wud end
Maybe we cud laugh again
Lord knows I'm missing u

[Chorus]

Call me daddy [x2]

Ohhh, Ye-ah-ah,Yeah,
I would be your man,
You would be my girl,
Oh yeah,
I beleive,
I do,
If there's any justice in the world,
I would be your man,
You would be my girl,
If i'd found you first you know its true,
He would be alone,
I would be with you,
When you decide, dont let me down,
Coz there's nothing to be certain in my life,
And you've seen a thousand times
There's not much justice in the world
If there's any justice in your heart,
You love pity it changed,
Ease it into heart,
Oh no,
Why dont you remember how it feels,
Not to give a damn,
For anyone but me
I cant believe you'd be decieved,
Changing memories from truth to fantasy,
Where there's nothing left but tears,
And there's not much justice in the world
Just because he's wrapped
around your finger,
Don't fool yourself with dreams
that might appear,
If in time you'll stop and trust your feelings,
The truth is out there somewhere
It's blowing in the wind
If there's any justice in the world,
I would be your man,
You would be my girl,
Oh yeah,
If i'd found you first you know its true,
He would be alone,
I would be with you,
When you decide, dont let me down,
Coz there's nothing to be certain in my life,
And you've seen a thousand times
There's not much justice in the world
If I should lose you girl you know,
That theres not much justice in the world
If there's any justice in the world,
You're gonna be my baby,

Don't give it up
What you possess is special
No need to rush
Tell him how you feel
He'll wait a while
What is meant to be will be
So don't give it up
Don't give it up
It's so easy to find a man
But it ain't easy to find real love
She's been searching
all of fifteen years
And now she's found it
But she's so scared
He wants to go faster faster
She wants to just slow it down
He wants to go further further
Let me break it down
Don't give it up
What you possess is special
No need to rush
Tell him how you feel
He'll wait a while
What is meant to be will be
So don't give it up
Don't give it up
See you're so young lady
Got your life in front of you
I know you love that boy
But a real man deserves you
And he ain't real
And maybe he's not the one
If he don't understand how you feel
He says if you love me love me
Why won't you just do it now
She says she ain't ready ready
Sister listen now
Don't give it up
What you possess is special
No need to rush
Tell him how you feel
He'll wait a while
What is meant to be will be
So don't give it up
Don't give it up
See there's so much for her
to be thinking about
But all she sees is her man
True love lasts more than one night
You will know the perfect time
So wait till you're ready
Don't give it up
What you possess is special
No need to rush
Tell him how you feel
He'll wait a while
What is meant to be will be
So don't give it up
Don't give it up
Let the beat roll on and on and on
Let the beat roll on and on and on
And the beat goes on and on and on
Let the beat go on and on and on
Until you're ready baby
Until you're ready

Last night
I tried but I couldn't sleep
Thoughts of you were in my head
I was lonely
and I needed you next to me
Life is harder since you left
I never meant to do you wrong
And now all is said and done
I hope you won't be gone
too long
No
Where do I go
What do I do
I can't deny
I still feel something
And girl I wish
you could say you feel the same
You've broken the bond
I gotta move on
But how do I end
this lonely feeling
You've gone I'm here alone
I guess it's time to grow

I try to speak
but my words never catch the air
Like you never knew I was there
Take me back to the days
when you really cared
Can we make love reappear
I can't go on the roads
too long
And now all is said and done
I can't go forward if my heart's
still where i'm coming from
Where do I go
What do I do
I can't deny
I still feel something
And girl I wish
you could say you feel the same
You've broken the bond
I gotta move on
But how do I end
this lonely feeling
You've gone I'm here alone
I guess it's time to grow
Crying time is over
I know I can't control her
feelings If she won't return
then I guess I'll be a man
and move on
Time to grow
And move on
Make life better than
it was before
And move on
Make life better than
I did before
and move on
Make love better than
it was before
Though you've gone
And I'm here alone
I guess it's time to grow

I guess it's time to grow

Driving my ride
Cruising down the A406
I don't know why
she don't love me the same way
Trying to figure out
How did we end up like this
I can't take this feeling
I believe in yesterday
When it's over it's Face it
If you dont love her then leave her
You're so complicated Cupid
Please don't let my baby leave
Bring her loving back to me Cupid
Draw back your bow
And let love flow
Working my brain Going insane
Think she thinks I'm cheating
How do I get her to truly
trust me once again
Why did I play
Never should have strayed
I am so foolish
Cupid I think I need your hand
I'm a helpless man
When it's over it's over
Face it If you don't love her
then leave her
You're so complicated Cupid
Please don't let my baby leave
Bring her loving back to me Cupid
Draw back your bow
And let love flow Cupid
Please don't let my baby leave
Bring her loving back to me Cupid
Draw back your bow
And let love flow
If you're with me shake it
shake it shake it If you feel
me clap soul clap soul clap
Can I get a witness in here
If you've got love
Don't take it for granted
It could get complicated
Why don't Why don't she love me
Cupid Please don't let my baby
leave Bring her loving back to me
Cupid Draw back your bow
And let love flow
Cupid Please don't let my baby
leave Bring her loving back to me
Cupid Draw back your bow
And let love flow

Think I'm bout to lose my head
don't know what to do
I've been spending
way too much time with you
Haven't really done nothing wrong yet
but I'm about to
Maybe we should
think about what we both could do
could do
Don't wanna be a fool
What is is what is
Maybe this was meant to be
Maybe we should try and see
Maybe just maybe
it's as far as we should go
Maybe it's a big mistake
Maybe we should walk away
Maybe just maybe we'll never know
I know I really love my girl
you say you love your man
So how did we end up here
Where was there a change of plan
We've been fighting for so long
it gets harder everytime
You know if we take it there
We might regret
it the rest of our lives
our lives
Don't wanna be a fool a fool
What is is what is
Maybe
Maybe this was meant to be
Maybe we should try and see
Maybe just maybe
it's as far as we should go
Maybe it's a big mistake
Maybe we should walk away
Maybe just maybe we'll never know
Girl I know in my heart
I should leave
But it's so hard to let you go oooh
It's so hard to let you go
How can we just ignore how we feel
It could be something
we want to forget
But it just might be for real
Maybe
Maybe this was meant to be
Maybe we should try and see
Maybe just maybe
it's as far as we should go
Maybe it's a big mistake
Maybe we should walk away
Maybe just maybe we'll never know
Maybe
Maybe this was meant to be
Maybe we should try and see
Maybe just maybe
it's as far as we should go
Maybe we should try and see

Mother, Mother, said there's far too may of you crying,
What we need is love, I believe in love

Can't explain all the feelings that you're making me feel
My heart's in overdrive and you're behind the steering wheel


Touching you, touching me
Touching you, God you're touching me

I believe in a thing called love
Just listen to the rhythm of my heart
There's a chance we could make it now
We'll be rocking 'til the sun comes down
I believe in a thing called love
oooooooo

I wanna kiss you every minute, every hour, every day
You got me in a spin but everything is A.OK!


Touching you, touching me
Touching you, God you're touching me

I believe in a thing called love
Just listen to the rhythm of my heart
There's a chance we could make it now
We'll be rocking 'til the sun comes down
I believe in a thing called love
ooooooo Guitar!

Touching you, touching me
Touching you, God you're touching me

I believe in a thing called love
Just listen to the rhythm of my heart
There's a chance we could make it now
We'll be rocking 'til the sun comes down
I believe in a thing called love
