Patti Labelle - The Definitive Collection [compilation] (2006) by Patti Labelle (보컬) on maniadb.com

Somewhere, over the rainbow,
way up high,
There's a land that I heard of
once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow
skies are bule,
and the dreams that you dare
to
dream really do come true.

Someday I'll wish upon a star
and make up
where the clouds are far
behind me
Where troubles melt
like lemon drops,
away above the chimney tops,
That's where you'll find me.

Somewhere, over the rainbow,
bulebirds fly.
Birds fly over the rainbow,
Why then - oh, why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds
fly beyond the rainbow
why oh why can't I?

Runnin' hot, runnin' cold
I was runnin' into overload
It was extreme, ex-ex-ex-ex-ex-extreme
I took it so high, so low
So low, there was nowhere to go
Like a bad dream
Somehow the wires uncrossed, the tables were turned
Never knew I had such a lesson to learn
I'm feelin' good from my head to my shoes
Know where I'm goin' and I know what to do
I tidied up my point of view
I got a new attitude
I'm in control, my worries are few
'Cause I've got love like I never knew
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I got a new attitude
I'm wearing a new dress (New), new hair (New)
Brand new ideas, as a matter of fact I've changed for good
It must have been the cool night, new moon, new slight change
More than to figure, but I feel like I should, yes
Somehow the wires uncrossed, the tables were turned
Never knew I had such a lesson to learn
I'm feelin' good from my head to my shoes
Know where I'm goin' and I know what to do
I tidied up my point of view
I got a new attitude
I'm in control, my worries are few
'Cause I've got love like I never knew
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I got a new attitude
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh...ooh...
Somehow the wires uncrossed, the tables were turned

Stir it up
Stir it up
Stir it up
Stir it up
I can't sit here while I go nowhere
Chase my dreams through the polluted air
Walking on a wire, running out of time
There's no room in this ol' heart of mine
Bill collectors waiting down the hall
Neighbors scream and crack the bedroom wall
Nerves jump off the pavement, passion hits the street
Angels cookin' in the city heat
World's too crazy, I can't take no more
I won't stay here locked behind the door
Baby, stir it up, got to break it up now
When I think about tomorrow, ooh, I can't wait to
Stir it, got to shake it up now
If I have to beg or borrow, I'm not gonna take it anymore, mmm, mmm
Hungry minds do stare you in the eyes
Spread it thick and lay the biggest lies
Don't say what you feel, must play hard to get
All those time bombs tickin' in your head
So much pressure to keep holdin' on
Pack my clothes up, baby, I'll be gone
I've got to stir it up, got to break it up now
When I think about tomorrow, ooh, I can't wait to
Stir it, got to shake it up now
If I have to beg or borrow, I'm not gonna take it anymore, mmm, mmm
Can't find love because it's trapped inside
Can't find freedom flirting with line
Make some room in this ol' heart of mine
So much pressure to keep holdin' on
Pack my clothes up, baby, I'll be gone
Stir it up, I've got to break it up now
When I think about tomorrow, I can't wait to
Stir it, got to shake it up now
If I have to beg or borrow, I don't wanna take it anymore
Stir it up, got to break it up now
When I think about tomorrow, I can't wait to
Stir it, got to shake it up now


If I have to beg or borrow, I don't wanna take it anymore

Stir it up
Stir it up
Stir it up
Stir it up
Stir it up
Baby, there is so much pressure to keep me holdin' on
Got to pack up my clothes and, baby, I'll be gone
Stir it up, got to break it up now
When I think about tomorrow, I can't wait to
Stir it, got to shake it up now
If I have to beg or borrow, I don't wanna take it no more
Stir it up, got to break it up now
I'm gonna stir it up, gonna stir it up
I'm not gonna take it no more, no more, no more, no more, no more, no more
Mmm Stir it up, got to break it up now
Stir it up, got to break it up now
(Mmm...got to stir it up)
Stir it up, got to break it up now
(Stir it up, baby, I...I'm gettin' out of here)
Stir it up, got to shake it up now
(Stir it up, baby, I...I'm gettin' out of here)
Stir it up, got to break
it up now Stir it, got to shake it up now
If I have to beg or borrow, I don't wanna take it no more
Stir it up, got to break it up now
When I think about tomorrow, I can't wait to
Stir it, got to shake it up now
I'm gonna stir it up, gonna stir it up
I'm not gonna take it no more, no more, no more, no more, no more, no more, no more
Mmm Stir it up, got to break it up now

(Stir it up, baby, I...I'm gettin' out of here)
Stir it up, got to break it up now

So many times
Said it was forever
Said our love would always be true
Something in my heart always knew
I'd be lying here beside you
On my own
On my own
On my own

So many promises
Never should be spoken
Now I know what loving you cost
Now we're up to talking divorce
And we weren't even married
On my own
Once again now
One more time
By myself

No one said it was easy
But it once was so easy
Well I believed in love
Now here I stand
I wonder why

I'm on my own
Why did it end this way
On my own
This wasn't how it was supposed to be
On my own
I wish that we could do it all again

So many times
I know I should have told you
Losing you it cut like a knife
You walked out and there went my life
I don't want to live without you
On my own
On my own
On my own

I'm on my own
Why did it end this way
On my own
This wasn't how it was supposed to be
On my own
I wish that we could do it all again

This wasn't how it was supposed to end
I wish that we could do it all again
I never dreamed I'd spend one night alone
On my own, I've got to find where I belong again
I've got to learn how to be strong again
I never dreamed I'd spend one night alone
By myself by myself

I've got to find out what was mine again
My heart is saying that it's my time again
And I have faith that I will shine again
I have faith in me
On my own
On my own
On my own

If we are one big happy family, no one would have to beg to eat.
If we live in a world of dignity, no man would have to live on the street.
If I tell you you're a part of me, there's no need for disbelief.
H ere is my hand, to let you know that what we dream weall can hold.
Apart we are weak....together we're strong.

[Chorus]
Oh, people....we are writing this song. We're all living these words together forever.
There's no reason we can't live and be one...
Build the world that we want together.
For as long as you stand here by me... we'll live on.

Think of all the possibilities that the eyes of a child can see.
Think of all the opportunities that float right by you and me.
Take my hand, and we will know all that we dream...we, our own.
Apart we are weak... together we're strong.

All the wrong things to be said, we've said 'em.
We let anger guide the way.
I say you're at fault; you say i'm selfish.
Now the accusations must be paid with the strain of
Losing you, pain
Of feeling blue.
You're hurt and i'm lost,
Tell me what are we gonna do?
Please come back and kiss away the pain;
We can be happy once again.
Please come back and kiss away the pain;
We can make sunshine from the rain.
Without you, my life has no music
Rhyme and rhythm cease to be.
Close friends tell me that you're acting heartsick,
Is it all because you're missing me?
The pain is clouding your eyes
Pain too deep to disguise
You're blue, baby i am too.
Tell me, tell me, tell me what are we gonna do?
Please come back and kiss away the pain;
We can be happy once again.
Please come back and kiss away the pain;

We can make sunshine from the rain.
Please come back baby, please come back baby, kiss it
Away.
We don't even have to explain,
Please come back and kiss away my pain.
Lost love is such a shame.
Your kiss is guaranteed to take all the pain,
Take all the pain, take all the pain away from me.
Please come kiss away the pain

Used to be that I believed in something
Used to be that I believe in love
It's been a long time since I've had that feeling
I could love someone
I could trust someone
I said I'd never let nobody near my heart again, darlin'
I said I'd never let nobody in

But if you asked me to
I just might change my mind
And let you in my life forever
If you asked me to
I just might give my heart
And stay here in your arms forever
If you asked me to
If you asked me to

Somehow ever since I've been around you
Can't go back to being on my own
Can't help feeling, darlin', since I've found you
That I've found my home
That I'm finally home
I said I'd never let nobody get too close to me, darlin'
I said I needed, needed to be free

But if you asked me to
I just might change my mind
And let you in my life forever
If you asked me to
I just might give my heart
And stay here in your arms forever
If you...

Ask me to and I will give my world to you baby
I need you now
Ask me to and I'll do anything for you baby
For you baby

If you asked me to
I'd let you in my life forever
All you gotta do is ask me to...

Oh, mister how's your daughter?
You really ought to know
For every thing you taught her
Don't matter when she's all alone

My crazy friend named Cara
After all of us told her, "No"
S-s-she'd get another spoon ball
Now, she's going no where slow

Her papa caught her for the first time
And put her out on the street
Cara told me to remind him
That she was only seventeen

Yo, mister how's your daughter? How's your girl?
You really ought to know
Every thing you taught her
It don't matter when she's all alone

Cara got hooked up with the wrong kids
Then s-s-she started skipping school
Then Cara got high to make disappear
A world full of fools

In her eyes her father was the biggest fool of them all
And she was speeding, that's what she'd say
Maybe, maybe, maybe she wouldn't talk so stupid
If she knew how much she needed this fool today

Yo, mister how's your daughter?
You really ought to know
For every thing you taught her
Don't matter when she's all alone

She needs you right now mister
'Cause she ain't got long to live
It's so easy to say, "I love you"
But it's harder to forgive

Her father cried when I told him that Cara twice got knocked up
He said, "Just like her mama, aha, she shows her body
When she wants to show love, she tried that stuff with me
And I beat her down, there's no way I could let her stay
Couldn't let her stick around "

'Cause I tried so hard to raise her right
He said, "What made her turn out this way", I don't know
What made her turn out this way, I don't know, I don't know
And I said and I said and I said

Yo, mister how's your daughter?
You really ought to know, every thing
Every thing you taught her
Don't matter when she's all alone

But she needs you right now mister
She ain't got long to live
It's easy to say, "I love you"
But it's harder to forgive
(How's your daughter tonight?)

Yo, mister how's your daughter?
(How's your daughter tonight?)
Yo, mister how's your daughter?
(How's your daughter tonight?)

Yo, mister how's your daughter?
(How's your daughter tonight?)
Yo, mister how's your daughter?
(How's your daughter tonight?)

When there's something in the air
And the earth is shaking
Something inside me knows
One heart went falling
A premonition in my bones
I can sense it, there it goes
Something about two lovers that changes the world
I can detect it
Seem to reflect it and I say

I feel it in my heart, well
Feels like another one
It gets me in my soul now
It feels like another one

When I look into your eyes
There's a reaction
And I don't need to know what makes it happen
I know I've been in love before
But love's a magic open door
And every time somebody reaches in my heart
I can detect it
I got to reflect it, I say

I feel it in my heart, yeah
Feels like another one
It gets me in my soul now
It feels like another one

(rap1)
I'm lost in the sauce by a force that I can't pause
When I come across the open doors that were yours
It's uncontrollable whenever I'm holding you
With a love that I feel as good as gold with you
So may I address you with a little bit of tenderness and
Togetherness it takes to form a relationship
You know the day that these feelings began I said then
It feels like another one

A premonition in my bones
I can sense it, there it goes
Something about two lovers that changes the world
I can detect it
Got to reflect it

I feel it in my heart, well
Feels like another one
It gets me in my soul now
It feels like another one

(rap2)
When you feel the reaction of physical attraction
And deep in your mind it's pure satisfaction
From the need of true companionship
And once you feel it inside your soul
Oh man you get captivated, elevated, rejuvenated
Fascinated, so many feelings it's hard for me to state
Cause no one can really defy
The power of love taking over and over
Comfort one another, lover to lover
No matter how you avoid it
It's still gonna uncover
When you can't detect it or reflect it
Don't try to neglect it
You gotta respect it

In a world
Of superheros
In a world
Of weak and strong
In a sea of have and have nots
I've survived the raging storm
And I pray for a world
Where we all can be free
It's a heavenly vision
It's a garden I see
Nothing but joy
Nothing but peace
Let it be
When you've been blessed
Feels like heaven
Heaven
When you've been blessed
Feels like Heaven
Heaven
I have faith
I have hope
And I trust in the day
When the music
From Heaven
Will show us the way
It's a garden of music
It's a garden of love
And we all are His children
Sharing gifts from above
When you've been blessed
Feels like Heaven
Heaven
When you've been blessed
Feels like Heaven
Heaven
When you've been blessed
Feels like Heaven
Heaven
When you've been blessed
Pass it on
Pass it on
Why don't you?
Why don't you?
Pass it on
And on
And on
And on
When you've been blessed
That's what it feels like
Yes
There'll be no more sorrow
No more pain
Nothing but joy, joy, joy
No more sickness
No more strife
Nothing but love, love, love
And everybody we will get together and say
(Heaven) Say
(Heaven) Say
That's what it feels like
When you've been blessed
I'm blessed
Yes, I am
I talked to my mother
My father
My sistas
And they said, girl, you are blessed
So pass it on
Pass it on
Don't keep it to yourself
We're not talking about prayer
Talking about yourself
Not silver or gold
Something
Somewhere
You've got to pass it on

A real man, strong but tender,
Baby that's the kind a man I need
To his love I will surrender
'cause he'll keep his mind on pleasing me

He's the right kind a lover,
I'll never need another,
sure 'nuff
he's got the stuff,
he's the right kind a lover for me.

An interesting conversation
every once in a while
Always prompt and attentive
'cause my darlin' knows that that is my style

He's the right kind a lover,
I'll never need another,
sure 'nuff
he's got the stuff,
he's the right kind a lover for me.

Ev'ry night when I get down on my knees to pray
I thank the Lord for sending Mister right my way.
This kind of love had to come from heaven down,
I ain't never gonna let him go because I need this kind a man around

He's the right kind a lover,
I'll never need another,
sure 'nuff
he's got the stuff,
he's the right kind a lover for me.

This is a test, sugar, sugar, boo boo
This is just a test, tell me
What do you know about love
This is just a test, it ain't your life
Tell me

I'd like to give you a test
So darling, prepare yourself
When I say 'Love', please explain
What pictures pop in your brain

Cause when you talk about love
Say when you think about love
When you talk about love
You should be talking 'bout me

Now if you need to be taught
Don't make me an after thought
For every lesson that's wrong
You can bet my good loving will be gone

So let's erase any doubt
Take a second or two to figure out
Speak from your lips to my ears
Yes, I know you know what I wanna hear

When you talk about love
When you think about love
When you talk about love
You should be talking 'bout me

No, I'm not gonna play tit for tat
When it comes to affairs of the heart
But if I love you, I want love back
And I know that I love you so just do your part

When you talk about love
I said, when you think about love
When you talk about love
You should be talking 'bout me

So when you talk about love
When you think about love
So when you talk about love
You should be talking 'bout me

I say, say my name, Patti, Patti, that's right
Say, say my name, Patti, Patti[Incomprehensible]
Say, say my name, Patti, Patti, what's my name?
My name is love, love, love

Love, love, love
Love, love, love
Love, love, love

My name is love, that's my name
You gotta talk about me

Say, when you talk about love
Say, when you think about love
Say, when you talk about love
You, should be talking 'bout love

Love, love, love, love

People will tell you,
So many things,
Just to be closer to you,
Darlin' believe in me,
I'm gonna try,
To help you see your way through,
I'm on your side,
Anytime day or right,
Live is just a whisper away,
No need to shout,
That ain't what it's about,
Love is just a whisper away,
Really don't matter,
Where you may be,
You've got a friend in me,
Don't be shy,
I'll be here,
Stop on by,
All of your tears I'll dry,
No doubt about it,
No one should stand alone,
Come on in time of need,
My love will guide you,
When you can't find your way,
I'll move mountains for you,
If you just ask me to,
Baby let me do something for you,
I'm on your side,
Anytime day or night,
Love is just a whisper away,
No need to shout,
That ain't what it's about,
Love is just a whisper away

You can call me when you want me
If you need a friend you got me
I'll be your everything
Fulfill your every dream
We can do it automatic
I can freak you with my gadget
I'll be your everything
You'll see I'm everything you want and more

I knew the moment that we met
I had to be inside of you
Someone you won't forget
So don't say that you don't feel it too
I've opened up my heart and soul
The rest is up to you

Girl, I'll be your superman

You'll find that I'm the everything that you need
Deep down inside of you

Don't worry 'cause I'm watching you
No need to be afraid
Some how some way, I'll find out what's the deal
And I'll be there to rescue you
You'll see that I'm for real

Girl, I'll be your superman

I'll be your gadget, the one you call to make magic
Most rap stars live lavish
Got you a Benz for a carriage and even a rock
About 8 to 10 carats you almost forgot
When we both went to Paris, and you took shots
'Cause of you, look at all the drinks I got
Think back and look at all the minks you rocked
And I know you'll be impressed from the things
I got 'cause I'm gadget

You can call me when you want me
If you need a friend you got me
I'll be your everything
Fulfill your every dream
We can do it automatic
I can freak you with my gadget
I'll be your everything
You'll see I'm everything you want and more

You can call me when you want me
If you need a friend you got me
I'll be your everything
Fulfill your every dream
We can do it automatic
I can freak you with my gadget
I'll be your everything
You'll see I'm everything you want and more
And more
