Chaka Khan

Captured effortlessly
That's the way it was
Happened so naturally
I did not know it was love
The next thing I felt was
You holding me close
What was I gonna do?
I let myself go

And now we're flyin' through the stars
I hope this night will last forever

I've been waitin' for you
It's been so long
I knew just what I would do
When I heard your song
Filled my heart with your bliss
Gave me freedom
You knew I could not resist
I needed someone

And now we're flyin' through the stars
I hope this night will last forever
Oh oh oh oh

CHORUS:
Ain't nobody
Loves me better
Makes me happy
Makes me feel this way
Ain't nobody
Loves me better than you

I wait for night time to come
And bring you to me
Can't believe I'm the one
I was so lonely
I feel like no one could feel
I must be dreamin'
I want this dream to be real
I need this feelin'

I make my wish upon a star
And hope this night will last forever
oh oh oh oh

CHORUS

And first you put your arms around me
Then you put your charms around me
I can't resist this sweet surrender
Oh my nights are warm and tender
We stare into each other's eyes
And what we see is no surprise
Got a feeling most would treasure
And a love so deep we cannot measure

CHORUS

When I feel you dreaming
I think of sunsets
How high my high gets

Chorus:
I wanna give to you an everlasting love
I fill your life with a satisfying love
All you need is an everlasting love
All you want is a satisfying (mystifying) love


Sun breezes, moonlight teases
Friendly invasion
Late night persuasion

Chorus

Each time you pass me by
You saw me fade away
I'll give you more each day

He's on his way

From sad and gifted places
Sad and gifted places

(where you goin' now)
(what'cha doin' child? )
(where you goin' yeah)

Painted faces, sunburnt skin
Fixed expressions, smiles worn thin
Caught in the blink of neon of hollywood
Bending battles, maneuvering schemes
False expressions, washed up dreams
Everybody makes believe
In hollywood, hollywood

My funny Valentine
Sweet comic Valentine
You make me smile with my heart

Your looks are laughable
Unphotographable
Yet you're my favorite work of art

Is your figure less than Greek
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?

Don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little Valentine
Stay!
Each day is valentine’s day

My funny Valentine

Stay, stay, stay, stay (won't you please)

Through The Fire


(Verse 1)
I look in your eyes and I can see
We've loved so dangerously
You're not trustin' your heart to anyone
You tell me you're gonna play it smart
We're through before we start
But I believe that we've only just begun
When it's this good, there's no saying no
I want you so, I'm ready to go

(Chorus)
Through the fire
To the limit, to the wall
For a chance to be with you
I'd gladly risk it all
Through the fire
Through whatever, come what may
For a chance of loving you
I'd take it all the way
Right down to the wire
Even through the fire

(Verse 2)
I know you're afraid of what you feel
You still need time to heal
And I can help if you'll only let me try
You touched me and somethin' in me knew
What I could have with you
Now I'm not ready to kiss that dream goodbye
When it's this sweet, there's no saying no
I need you so, I'm ready to go

(Chorus)

Through the test of time...

(Chorus)

(Repeat the following/Fade Out)
To the wire
To the limit
Through the fire
To whatever
Through the fire
To the limit
Through the fire
To whatever

Troubled little angel
Inconsistent flying blind most of the time
Drama queen

Preening and untangling
The feathers in her wings
Captured by her dreams
Desperatly she sings

Needy little baby
Open up you heart
Don't you think it's bad to feel
Needy little baby
Hiding deep inside
Don't you know your love can heal

Troubled little angel
Inconsistent flying blind most of the time
Don't know who to be

Always rearranging the wreckage of her life
Ever holding tight
To the hope that she'll be free

Needy little baby
Open up you're eyes
Don't you be afraid to feel
Needy little Baby
Hiding deep inside
Don't you know that love can heal

Talking to you Angel... Angel
Deep inside of me
Talking to you Angel... Angel
One day you'll be free

Angel... Angel
Deep inside of me

Angel... Angel
One day you'll be free

One day you'll open your wings
One day you'll fly...

Disrespectful
Hey, you don't wanna
Treat me
You don't wanna
Play around
'Cause you
Could be history
Don't mess around
With me

You take me for
I'm nobodies fool

[Chaka & Mary's B-Section]

Boy, what is wrong

[Chaka & Mary's Bridge]

There are times
That I do
Miss you
But I must
Keep movin' on
I never thought
That I
Would wake up
And you'd be gone
You never thought
About me

[Repeat Chaka & Mary's Hook 2x]

I can still remember, the magic I saw in your eyes, so honest
And so tender, true love with no compromise

[Hook:]
All those things I miss, when I remenise, about you baby... ummhmm

[Chorus:]
Why can't we go back in time, when I was your and you where mine,
Love is special ment to be, eternally our love is one for all time
(Unnnmmm... time... mmmmm)-this time only

How is it I see you, in every strangers face, I don't wanna need you,
But my stubborn heart keeps going, and I just can't erase

[Hook:]
Oh oh oh oh all these things I miss when I remenise, about you boy,
Bet you didn't know, how much I love ya, won't mean to show ya baby

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
I got to hear your conversation, intellegent debating, baby that
Would move me, they way you, make me fell so special, how could
You forget that, you where made for me, you where made for me

[Chorus]

Skatting, one for all time, mine, adid you know there's a love, ummm, our love, oo la la la la la, the greatest love, of all time, I love ya babe, the greatest love of all time, I love ya babe

Oh yeah

In France, skinny man
Died of a big disease with a little name
By chance his girlfriend came across a needle
Soon she did the same

At home there are seventeen year old boys
And their idea of fun
Is being in a gang called The Disciples
High on crack, totin' a machine gun

Time

Hurricane Annie ripped the ceiling of a church
And killed everyone inside
You turn on the telly and every other story
Tellin' you somebody died

Sister killed her baby 'cause she could afford to feed it
They were sending rockets to the moon
September my cousin tried reefer for the very first time
Now he's doing horse, it's June

Time, time, yeah

It's silly no, when a rocket ship explodes
Everybody still want to fly
Some say a man ain't happy
Unless a man truly dies, oh why?

Time, time, time

Baby make a speech, star wars fly
Neighbors just shine it on
But if the night falls and a bomb falls
Then everybody sees dawn

Time, time

It's silly now, when a rocket ship explodes
Everybody still wants to fly
Some say a man ain't happy, truly, yeah
Until he dies, oh why?

Time, time, time, time

Sign o' the times mess with your mind
Hurry before it's too late
Let's fall in love, get married, have a baby
We'll call him Nate, if it's a boy

Time, time
Everybody, yeah
Sign o' the times
[Incomprehensible]
Time, sign o' the times

Don't you know we can change the world?
Don't you know every boy and every girl
Deserves to live life, deserves a peace of mind?
Sign o' the times

Don't you know we can change the world?
Don't you know every boy and every girl
Deserves to live life, deserves a peace of mind?
Sign o' the times

Don't you know we can change the world?
Don't you know every boy and every girl
Deserves to live life, deserves a peace of mind?
Sign o' the times

I used to think that I was happy
But I was just lying to myself
Made me believe no one would have me
So I put my poor heart on the shelf

Like a heatwave
Like a sud-den wind
Like a slap to the essence of my being
Boy you came in, like a sud-den wind
You know you blew me away
Away

Will you love me
Will you be-the-one
Who is coming, coming to my rescue
Will you care for me
Will you comfort me
Will you be the one
The one who's gonna rescue me

I feel like I was born just for you
I am so glad you came in time
Now that your here
I just adore you baby
To lose this love would be a crime

Like a heatwave
Like a sud-den wind
Like a slap to the essence of my being
Boy you came in, like a sud-den wind
You know you blew me away
Away

Will you love me
Will you be the one
Who is coming, coming to my rescue
Will you care for me
Will you com-fort me
Will you be the one
The one who's gonna rescue me

Will you love me
Will you be the one
Who is coming, coming to my rescue
Will you care for me
Will you com-fort me
Will you be the one
The one who's gonna rescue me

Will you love me
Will you love me
Will you love me
Will you love me
Will you love me
Will you love me
Will you love me
Will you love me

Will you love me
Will you be the one
Who is coming, coming to my rescue
Will you care for me
Will you com-fort me
Will you be the one
The one who's gonna rescue me

Everyday is so wonderful
And suddenly, it's hard to breathe
Now and then, I get insecure
From all the fame, I'm so ashamed
I am beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring me down
I am beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring me down
So don't you bring me down today
To all your friends, you're delirious
So consumed in all your doom
Trying hard to fill the emptiness
The piece is gone left the puzzle undone
That's the way it is
You are beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring you down
You are beautiful in every single way
words can't bring me down
Don't you bring me down today
No matter what we do
No matter what they say
We're the song inside the tune
Full of beautiful mistakes
And everywhere we go
The sun won't always shine
But tomorrow will find a way
All the other times
We are beautiful no matter what they say
Yes, words won't bring us down
We are beautiful in every single way
Words can't bring us down
Don't you bring me down today
Don't you bring me down today

Chorus:
I betcha I
Betcha I can
Betcha I can love
Betcha I can love ya
Betcha I can love you like you've never been loved before

Betcha I, Betcha I, Betcha I (2x)

I betcha I can woo ya
Betcha I can do ya
Betcha I can do you till you're dead and done
Betcha I can love ya
Betcha I can hold ya
So doncha know that I'm the only one
Betcha I can love you like you've never been loved before

I betcha I can feed ya
Betcha I can bleed ya
And make you think you're havin' fun
Betcha I can choose ya
Betcha I can lose ya
I betcha I can drop you like a smokin' gun

Betcha I can tease ya
Betcha I can freeze ya
Betcha I can warm you like the mornin' sun
Betcha I can flirt ya
Betcha I can hurt ya
Betcha I can do ya till you're dead and done
Betcha I can love you like you've never been loved before

Chorus

I betcha I can hold you
Betcha I can mold you
Betcha I can take you or leave you alone
Betcha I can kiss you
Don't you know that I can dismiss you
And you're dismissed now
Like a rolling stone
And how does it feel?

Betcha I can love you like you've never been loved before

I've got this feelin' inside
And it won't go away
It'll take time for it to subside
And oh by the way

Come to my house
Where we can play
Like i'm your flower
We'll hide and seek
Then we will find
Love's highest power

Could you stop by for some really good beer
Or a glass of wine
There's no threat, there's no danger here
If you forego go the time

A look in your eyes
And you remind
Me of my daddy
I can't say why
I decided tonight
Yes, you can have me

Love will surrender
Oh, when the heart cries out don't leave me standin' here
Not here
Not now

I got a problem with democracy
Don't know what it really means
A livin' lie, devoid of honesty
Where nothing's really what it seems

I'm in a funky situation
Doom is lurkin' ever nearer
I'm waiting for a revelation
Each day the signs are getting' clearer

Lies to my left, wrong to my right
Compassion unknown
This must be the twilight zone
A grizzly affair
Caught unaware
Why am I so scared
Where have all the flowers gone?

I've got a problem with democracy
So where exactly do I stand?
Who is this dark cloud hangin' over me?
It ain't from God; it must be a man
He is the one that you will seldom see
The new world order is his name
He's got a plan in mind for you and me
There are no winners in this game

Lies to my left, wrong to my right
Compassion unknown
This must be the twilight zone
And I'm standin' here
Tryin' to lose the fear
For this I would die
The truth will open up my eyes

Love will set you free from democracy

Supreme power invested in the people
Is a bit extreme
The highest rank of authority
Only God is Supreme!

Lil' darlin', gotta go now
Don't know when I'll be coming back
Got my future all planned out
Got my bags packed
Things don't always turn out right
But that's just the way it goes
Before I leave you, there's just a few
Things you should know

Don't talk to strangers
Don't forget to say your prayers at night
Remember God - He made you
And one day He'll make everything alright
Don't cross on the yellow
You always got to wait for a green light
Remember God - He made you
And one day He'll make everything alright

Lil' darlin', gotta go now
Don't worry, you'll be just fine
When it comes to good luck
I just know you'll always be first in line
Nobody will ever love you as much as I do
But that doesn't mean other people won't love you, too

Don't talk to strangers
Don't forget to say your prayers at night
Remember God - He made you
And one day He'll make everything alright

People ask me everywhere
"Is that really all your hair?"
I just tell 'em, "If it ain't
Then it sure don't mean
That now I can't"

I just don't believe it's fair
To judge a girl by the length of her hair

Take two words like "hip" and "square"
The truth will shine and not your hair
Even the blind can almost see
What's outside you and inside me

Down or high, truth or lie
A weak girl's laugh can be
A strong girl's cry

Black or blond or nappy or fair -
You can't judge nobody by hair
If I thought that you would care
I'd wear a wig up under my hair

Down or high, truth or lie
A weak girl's laugh can be
A strong girl's cry

I remember you
From a long time ago
When my eyes were new
It could be just a feeling
But I don't think so
I'm trusting all my senses
That's how I know
I remember you

I remember you
A warm and simple memory
Soft and all aglow
Like a mother's love
That every baby knows
I've listened to my heart
And it tells me so
I remember you

I'll never open my legs again
To a man who's insecure
I'll never open my legs again
Unless I'm really sure

Chorus
No I'll never, never
Never be another fool

Sad but true, I slept with you
I thought we were in love
I even got me a rose tatoo
But that was not enough

Chorus

Never, no!
Never, never, never

Nothing but the best of me
I gave with open arms
Alive and well, I'm back from hell
Released from your charms
(It's time to go)

Scene 23, exit, fade to black
Tel me, why'd you have to come back

This love you need to fade
Leave the best to yesterday
If this only one thing is true
I ain't gonna be another fool

Never be another fool

You think about callin'? - Don't!

There may be some youngbloods
Waitin' in the wings
I'm puttin' on my good duds
So you can hear me sing
I know what you're thinkin' but
This ain't no one night stand
I'm savin' all the good love
For only one man

Pop, pop my clutch (4x)

Don't worry 'bout the weather
In London or Rome
Once we get together
You're gonna take me home
I've had plenty boyfriends
Now I need a man
To love me, whatever
And a ring on my hand

Listen pretty baby
I won't say it twice
You could save me
From my own device

Honesty is so refreshing
I don't get that much
You just might be the blessing
To make me pop my clutch

Chorus

I know what you're thinkin'
But this ain't no one night stand
I'm savin' the good stuff
For only one man

Listen, pretty baby
I won't say it twice
You know you could save me
I you pop it right

Please forgive me
I don't know what to say except I'm sorry
To scare you away from me
I get crazy and don't know what I've done
It's all hazy
Thought we were having fun
Was it so bad
You feel you had to leave me, baby
Now that you're gone
I need to belong, believe me baby

Chorus

I would be so glad
If you would reconsider and stay
Reconsider, reconsider, reconsider

Baby's cryin'
It'so cold in our place
Inside I'm dyin'
We need the smile on your face
Don't need no money
I don't need no girlfriends
Want my daddy
To love me again and again and again and

Chorus

Sometimes honey
I know I talk too loud
Short temper
I'm apt to cuss you ou
I don't mean it
Passion gets the best of me
Still I love you
And I feel like you love me too

Chorus

If you walk out that door
You betta reconsider this
If you don't call me no more
You betta reconsider, reconsider that
Reconsider
If you think you were lonely before, you betta
Reconsider, reconsider this
That I changed the lock on this door, you betta
Reconsider that
If you stop payin' these bills, you gotta
Reconsider
I betcha somebody will, you betta
Reconside

I got me some cookin'
Not all that good lookin'
He's mighty sweet to me
That's how he's keepin' me

I ain't worried `bout the future
The here and now is lookin' cuter
I like his recipe
That's why i'm layin'

Chorus

You are just like my favorite spoon
Cause you stir me up
I'm as full as a harvest moon
Still i need more in my cup
And only you can give it to me

Am i happy? (i think so)
Don't be so emotional (i can't help it, no)
Will he be there? (i think so)
It's one thing that i do know
This i know

Everybody needs to feel it
Can't beg, borrow or steal it
Love is all about lovin'
When it's hot like an oven

I ain't worried `bout the future
The here and now is lookin' cuter
Got plenty 'o time for sortin'
Cause mama's little baby loves her shortnin' bread

Chorus

In this ever-changing world
Where things become unfurled
And tethered
Like a lioness in her pride
I was gonna stay by your side
Forever

As a planet keeps her moon
Your love I had assumed
And taken
And if this love can't come to pass
Then I would be alas
Forsaken

Chorus

The drama of the chase
The look upon your face
Make up your mind
It would be a waste
If you didn't love me
It would be the drama of all time

If I'm not good enough for you
What else could I do?
I could change
You know, they say like wine
You get better with passin' time
How strange&nbsp;?
I wish that in your eyes
You saw me like the others
See me
I could never say enough
Darlin' just how much I
Wish you'd keep me

Chorus

Drama, drama of all time

It's been ten long years
Since I fell in love so dear
It's got to be the drama of all time
Called you on the telephone
And wondered if you were alone
It's got to be the drama of all time
When I called you back, it was busy
What was that?
It's a drama, drama of all time
Who were you with last night?
Busy, busy, you must be busier
Than a one-legged man in a kick fight
Got to be the drama of all time
Drama, drama of all time

This is a story of mind, soul and heart
Come to think of it, don't know where to start
I'd take it from the top but we don't have that much time
So I'm breakin' off a piece of this crazy life of mine

As a little girl, I had a stubborn mind
Bonnie and me were wild most of the time
I used to sing for mama's company
I guess that was the start of the woman I came to be

Sometimes young, yet so old
Warm to the touch, intellectually cold
I love the how and why of it
Thank God the pieces seem to fit
Pieces seem to fit in this crazy life of mine

Never will forget from whence I came
I have some regrets, but I made myself a name
Two times a mother and as many times wed
Tough times were around me, but better times ahead
If your heart can handle these words I've said
I see you and me in this crazy life of mine
Mine...
Gotcha!

Ooh ooh
You're all alone
Well, so am I
We could dance all night
Are you willing to try
All night's all right
If you're in no hurry -- well
Neither am I
Do you like to boogie
Well just stop on by
All night's all right
All night's all right

Ooh ooh
Mama's away


Daddy too
Me and you all alone
With nothing to do
All night's all right
We're taking it slow
We're taking it fast
Do you like tomorrow
Make it last
All night's all right
All night's all right

All night's all right
All night's all right
All night's all right

Clouds
Different shapes and sizes
Hiding the horizon

Clouds
In the distance
Coming to change my plans
All my dreams will melt like sand

Clouds
The moment that you say good-bye
They're gonna rush right to the sky

Whoa...
Baby, baby, please don't go

It's gonna rain
It's gonna rain
It's gonna rain down tears
Of heartaches and fears

It's gonna rain
It's gonna rain
I know for sure
'Cause you don't reach for me no more

It's gonna rain
It's gonna rain
There in the distance
Is that number one pain

Clouds
Thunder is the warning
So dark and so alarming

Clouds
Go away, go away
Go, don't take away my sunny days

Clouds
Leave me be
Getting so dark out
I just can't see

Night's gonna fall
Letting the stars shine through and through
Time on the wall
Bringing me closer to the
One I want
I can't wait no more, no, no

Lost like a child
Even my knees are shaking
Caught for a while
Under a wave that's breaking
Over me
In his arms I float

When he looks at me this way
I know what he'll say

CHORUS:
Get ready, get set
You ain't seen nothing yet
All day, all night


Here's something you can't forget
Get ready, get set
You ain't seen nothing yet
All day, all night
Here's something you can't forget

I could try
Imagining something better than
You and I
Making sweet love together
Taking me much farther than before
When he looks at me this way
I know just what he'll say

Ooh Ooh
When he looks at me this way
I know just what he'll say

Na na na na
Na na na na

Just as sure as I live
I will love you alone
You belong in my arms
You belong in my home
I don't expect you to be
Someone else that you're not
All I expect you to give
Is all that you've got, so

CHORUS:
Move me no mountain
Turn me no tide
Swim me no ocean
Long, deep and wide
Just say you love me, baby
Long, strong and true
But move me no mountain
To prove that you do
But move me no mountain
To prove that you do

Fill my life with your love
You're my bread, you're my wine
Fill my life with your love
And I'll fill yours with mine


You'll never hear me cry
Tears of regret
It's fine with me if all I see
Is all I get
Oh

Just say you love me, baby
Just love me, baby
Long, strong and true

Move me no mountain
Turn me no tide
Swim me no ocean
Long, deep and wide
Just love me, baby
Long, strong and true
Move me no mountain
Turn me no tide
Swim me no ocean
Long, deep and wide

Just love me, baby
Say that you do
Just love me, baby...

You, you carry your dreams in your eyes
And if someone hurts you, you cry
And you, you live on a cloud in the sky
And wish on the stars shooting by

Don't let the little woes of life harm me
Let the joy in the life your lead
Let it charm you
Let it charm you

CHORUS:


Nothing's gonna take you away
Nothing's gonna break your heart
Nothing's gonna take you away
Nothing's gonna break your heart

You, you go barefootin' when there are showers
You like to listen to coltrane for hours
And you're gonna need smeone standing by
And on me you can always rely

Our love
Our love's in danger
If you don't hurry home
I might
Give it to a stranger

I never wanted you to go
I told you many times before
I need your loving day to day
I get so tired when you're far away
You got me staring at the ceiling
Better come quick
You can't make it too soon

I never want to do you wrong
But you been gone away so long
I don't know what you expect of me
That's what I'm trying so hard to be


Don't force me into another's arms
Our love
Our love
Our love

Get the picture, I'm here all alone
Ain't you worried
About your happy home
What I'm thinking
Makes me feels ashamed
Tell me who's to blame

Tell me what to do about the
Strangers coming from everywhere
Strangers calling my name
Just don't know what to do about it

A faded photograph I mailed to you
With feelings I don't want to face
And a long song of surrender in blue
I remember when you took my breath away

Chorus:

Chanson papillon, we were very young
Like butterflies, like hot butterfly
Chanson papillon, we had just begun
We let it slide on by
We didn't realize

All our memories are burning in time
Like a bittersweet perfume
Can you tell me how a love that's so fine
Could have climaxed in a single afternoon

Gone are the days of instant romance
And the nights of slow goodbyes
That was a time of life when foxy was the dance
But then you got wise to all my lies

Chorus

Chanson papillon, chanson
Chanson papillon, chanson
Chanson papillon, chanson
Chanson papillon, chanson

At the gypsy's eye
When the moon is high
And the mood is right for dancing, romancing

While Michael Wails
in his baggy tails
Makes it all seem so enhancing for dancing

CHORUS:
Oh you're so naughty
Oh with your body
Oh you're so naughty
I wanna get naughty with you
If you want me to



All those fools out there
Could they be aware
I just need someone to come home to
But you are so rare, I don't even care
'Cause I got you to roam with

Could I be dreamin'
Am I with you
My heart is screamin'
Could this be true
Let's keep it goin'
Our love is rare
Let's keep it growin'
We're almost there

You know our love is driftin'
We have fallen from its grace
We've got to face the situation
Put things in their place

You're still the man
You know just where you stand
But the way you felt for me is gone
There's no more truth to your song

CHORUS:
But I've got so much love for you
It's too much love
So much love for you
It's too much love
So much love for you
It's too much love
And I just don't want to throw it away

I've got to sacrifice my feelings
To make you find your own


I think it's time to end it
You might be better off alone

Oh, you're still the man
You know just where you stand
But the way you felt for me is gone
There's no more truth to your song

(There's something you've got to know)
When it's over, it's over
If it's done, then, baby, it's done
But there's nowhere to go
If we leave it all behind

Too much love
Too much love
Too much love...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Any little spark will make a fire
Any little fib will make a liar
I'll tell you more if you enquire
About the things that I desire

'Cause when you open wide
The inevitable steps inside
Take it in stride
'Cause nobody can do
Like you did
What you did
Like you did


Been so long, I can't see straight
No, no fun to anticipate
Give it on up, don't make me wait
Wait too long, 't'will be too late

Listen real close, 'cause I can't lie
It's difficult to satisfy
These feelings I just can't deny
With time they'll just intensify

It's a losing game I play
In a dog eat dog, show biz town
I've got a dream of my own
And I carry my own weight
But still they try to drag me down

CHORUS:
I'm a woman in a man's world
I'm a woman in a man's world

So I'm fool enough to say
That a woman's place is in the home
Working twice as hard
For the same reward as any man, yeah

CHORUS

For my very own
It'll make me strong if I don't give in
Cause the harder the fight
Oh, the sweeter the prize I'm sure to win

I was born in Little Rock
I had a childhood sweetheart
We were always hand in hand
He wore high top shoes and shirt tails
Chaka wore her pigtails
I knew I loved him even then

Well you know my papa disapproved
My mama boo hoo hooed
But I told 'em time and time again
Don't you know

I was made to love him
Build my world all around him
Yeah, yeah, yeah

He's been my inspiration
And shows appreciation
For the love I gave him through the years
Like a sweet magnolia tree
My love blossoms tenderly
My life grew sweeter through the years
I know that

My baby loves me
My baby needs me
That's why we've made it through the years

I was made to love him
Build my world all around him
Yeah, yeah, yeah

All through thick and thin
My love just won't end
'Cause my I love my baby, love my baby, oh

My baby loves me
My baby needs me
That's why we've made it through the years

When I was knee-high to a chicken
The love bug bit me
And I'm still, still in love

If the distant mountain crumble
Love won't tumble
I'll still be standin' there

Can't go nowhere, I'm on fire...

* I'm every woman, it's all in me
Anything you want done, baby
I'll do it naturally
I'm every woman, it's all in me
I can read your thoughts right now
Every one from A to Z

I can cast a spell
With secrets you can't tell
Mix a special brew
Put fire inside of you
But anytime you feel
Danger or fear
Instantly I will appear, 'cause

*Repeat

I can sense your needs
Like rain on to the seeds
I can make a rhyme
Of confusion in your mind
And when it comes down
To some good old fashioned love
That's what I've got plenty of, 'cause

*Repeat

I ain't braggin' 'cause I'm the one
You just ask me ooh and it shall be done
And don't bother to compare
'Cause I've got it
I've got it, I've got it, yeah

I'm every woman (repeat and fade)

* Life is a dance, life is a dance
Life is a dance, life is a dance

Everywhere coast to coast
Around the land
We all have one thing in common
We all love to dance
In and out of discos, crazy lights
Keep on movin' all through the night

*Repeat

Why don't you listen
Listen to the groove
I am sure enough sure you'll find
Just the rhythm, the rhythm of your soul
Dance to the music keepin' steady time

*Repeat

Dance to the music, crazy lights
Dance to the music on crazy lights
Dance to the music, crazy lights
Dance

Love is a burning inside
I never had this feeling before, no
All I know is that it won't let me be myself
Hey, is this really love
Oh maybe that's the reason
I feel so good when you're around
(Feel so good when you're around)

Why can't I remember
The day I melted before your charms
Oh was it way back in September
When you held me in your arms
Now that I see that you're the one for me
It's no more a mystery
Love has fallen down on me
Ooh I'm in love with you

Love has fallen on me
Now I really see
Love has fallen on me

Oh what tender love you bring
No, it's not a game
Oh what tender love you bring
No, it's not a game
Hey what tender love you bring
I fell in love with you
Fell in love with you

One day in September love came falling down on me
One day in September love came tumbling down on me

Ooh what tender love you bring
Oh now Lord I can't, no no,
And I can't believe my eyes
No no one day in September,
It came on down
Oh fallin' down, love came falling all around

I fell in love with you
Fell in love with you

Roll me through the rushes like Moses
Roll me through the rushes just like Moses

Roll me through the rushes like Moses
Guide me to the new woman who waits
Current, leave me on the banks
By the cottage
Wher we will dine with silver cups
And golden plates

Roll me through the rushes like Moses
Roll me through the rushes just like Moses

I've prepared for my last journey
You know I've worked all my life
To make this basket strong
But a woman alone on a river
She can't stay in the water too long

I've been chilled, I've lost my will
And I've stayed away from rivers
Much too long
I really must stay in this dirty dirty city
Till I found out that my strength was gone

Roll me through the rushes like Moses
Roll me through the rushes just like Moses
Just like Moses

Make my journey, make it short in space
Let me lose this hardness that I got now, Lord
Water, wash away all traces of hate
I will do what you say
If you just show me how, river

Roll me through the rushes like Moses
Roll me through the rushes just like Moses
Roll me through the rushes like Moses
Roll me through the rushes
Just like Moses on the Nile

River, river (sail)
River, river (sail)
River, river (sail)
River, river (sail)

* (We've got to) Sleep on it
Everything's gonna be alright
If we just sleep on it
Everything's gonna be alright

Tonight there will be no more quarrelling
We'll shut out the lights, close our eyes
I don't know how this started
I don't know why we fight
I'll appologize for all the unkind things
I said to you
Why can't I see what's right for me
Might not be right for you

*Repeat

People are gonna think
What they what to think
Feel what they want to feel
I don't wanna see you cry
I don't wanna see you compromise
The things that shine
The brightest in your eyes
Hold on to your dreams
Hold on to them tight

* Some love
You know it brings me down down down
Some love
You know it brings me down down down

They say that love is heaven sent
Well I guess they told another lie
How can it be a part of me
You can't even look me in my eye

*Repeat

** All this time you made a fool of me
You told honey sweet lies
I'm fed up with your alibis
I was blind, now I see, yeah

*Repeat

Let's end this game, let's stop this farce
'Cause I don't wanna live a lie
Life's so short, and love's so sparse
I guess I'll have to say goodbye
It brings me down down down, yeah
Some love, it brings me down down down

**Repeat

If this is love, I want no part of it
They call this love
Now I've got to quit you, baby
If this is love, I want no part of it
They call this love, dirty dirty love
Some love

If this is love don't break my heart
If this is love don't want no part
If this is love don't break my heart
If this is love don't want no part
If this is love don't break my heart
If this is love don't want no part
If this is love don't break my heart

Some love
Oh first you burn me with desire
Then you go and douse the fire

* I never meant a single thing when you tried it
You know it, I felt it, I liked it, I did it
I never meant to put it there but somewhere In dispair
It got moved into view, then I liked it
I never meant a single word when I said I could love you
I thought it, I heard it, I used it
I never meant a single beat of my heart to be yours
'Cause I knew, if you knew, you'd abuse it

** There's a message in the middle of the bottom
You see 'em, you love 'em, you got 'em
There's a proper time to pick 'em when they're fallen
Just listen, you'll hear 'em a-callin
There's a special way to know you got his lovin'
Can't you feel it, you ought to, you taught him
There's a special time for lovin' and another time
For huggin and a lot of time to leave him alone

I have a feelin' deep inside that I've got you
I'll keep you. why not? it'll make me feel better
If there's a woman on this earth who should love you
It's me boy, don't fight it, admit it, you love it
If you think there's someone else who can move you
I'll lose you, no problem, you're free to go get her
I just refuse to let a lady step in on my show
If you choose, do it now or forget it

**Repeat

*Repeat

**Repeat

There's a special time for lovin' and another time
For huggin and a lot of time to leave him alone.

Message in the middle of the bottom

* Walkin' hand and hand
As only lovers can
You must understand
We've got each other
They can scream and fuss
It won't bother us
And that is because
We've got each other

I can recall memories we shared
Such love, none other could compare
Do you remember when you were loving me?
Holding me? How could this love not be?

*Repeat

Lost in dreams, I spend the hours
Scared in the dark, in a room that once was ours
Do you remember when you were loving me?
Holding me? How could this love not be?

We are one sharing each other's dreams
With a love that only we could bring

I've got you (I've got you)
We've got each other
I've got you (I've got you)
We've got each other
I've got you (I've got you)
We've got each other
I've got you (I've got you too)
We've got each other
I've got you (I've got you)
We've got each other
I've got you (I've got you too)
We've got each other
We've got each other

We've got stride for stride
Movin' side by side
With a strength and pride
We've got each other
They can scream and fuss
It won't break our trust
What we've got is us
We've got each other
We've got each other
We've got each other

I will love you anyway
Even if you cannot stay
I think you are the one for me
Here is where you ought to be
I just want to satisfy ya
Though you're not mine
I can't deny ya
Don't you hear me talking baby?
Love me now or I'll go crazy

CHORUS:
Oh sweet thing
Don't you know you're my everything?
Oh sweet thing
Don't you know you're my everything?
Yes, you are

I wish you were my lover
But ya act so undercover
To love you child my who life long
Be it right, or be it wrong
I'm only what you make me, baby
Don't walk away, don't be so shady
Don't want your mind, don't want your money
These words I say, they may sound funny, but...

CHORUS

You are my heat
You are my fire
You make me weak with strong desire
To love you chile my whole life long
Be it right, or be it wrong
I just want to satisfy ya
Though you're not mine
I can't deny ya
Don't you hear me talking baby?
Love me now or I'll go crazy

VAMP:
You're my heat, you are my fire
You're not mine, I can't deny ya
Don't you hear me talking, baby?
Love me now, or I'll go crazy

Sweet comic valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable,unphotographable
Yet you're my favourite work of art
Are your looks less than greek
Is your mouth a little bit weak
When you open it to speak,are you smart
Don't change your hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little valentine stay
Each day is a valentine's day

Big brown bedroom eyes
They're bad for me
Reluctantly you hit me
To my vulnerability
I don't like this feeling
'Cause I can't see straight
Something says I met my match
Courtesy of fate

I've always taken pride
In my independence
So afraid and careful
Not to show it
No - but you give me clarity
Like a bright green laser beam
I think you want what's best for me
In spite of my resistance

Be my eyes
Sing me, I'm your song
Make me wise, baby
I'll be strong

Constantly the ones we love scorn us
It's not for them to comprehend
It's none of their business
Misery loves company

I think you really know me
And there's no coincidence
My mama must have made me
So we would find each other

Another time you were the one in my life
And this world of mine just turned around you
Another time you were the love of my life
That was so long ago
Now you're here
And those feelings are starting to reappear
Another time I would've run to you
I finally learned that I could love somebody new
And now I'm finally over you

But don't look at me that way
'Coz I'm trying to be strong
And I'm begging you baby
Don't you look at me that way
'Coz if you look at me now
It just might be more that I can take

Got someone, somebody new in my life
I've got someone who cares about me
And what we had is only what used to be
I'm happy now, happy with someone else
But when you're close I know the flame has never died
And now it's burning me alive

So Don't look at me that way
'Coz I'm trying to be strong
And I'm begging you baby
Don't you look at me that way
'Coz if you look at me now
It just might be more that I can take

I finally learned that I could love somebody new
And now I'm finally over you

Everybody wants you
You got it goin' on and you know it's not fair
All the ladies want to
Profess their love to you and yet you really don't care

You might think you have everything
Whether you do or not, i think that you forgot that...

Chorus:
Everything changes
Left to right
Cold gets hot
Everything changes
One day will turn to night
Whether you like it or not

Now i am no authority
But i've been around and i've seen a lot
Love's the one priority
Either settle down or lose the little you've got

We don't have forever
It's now or never so shoot your best shot

Chorus
It's no good
To keep on holdin' back
All those good emotions
I'll be there for you

You might think you have everything
Whether you know or not, i think that you forgot that...

Back when we first met
I think it was November
I remember thinking that
You had the sweetest smile

Magic
You have it
Command me I'll obey
It's just a fact of love
Mold me
Control me
I'm only made of clay
It's a fact of love

CHORUS:
Sometimes I wonder what is this love
At once so delightful and frightening
Thunder and lightening (love)
The facts of love

With those moody broody eyes
You could be Svengali
Just one touch - I'm mesmerized
I just can't help myself

You want it
You got it
You only have to say
It's a fact of love
You make me feel like I'm only made of clay
A fact of love

CHORUS

Sometimes I wonder
About the facts of love
I sit and wonder
About the facts of love

I wanna get deeper
Deeper than skin
I wanna be more than
just another friend

I'm ready to love you
with all of my heart
But I won't give it if you
can't do your part

CHORUS:
A little bit just ain't it
Give me all
A little love is not enough
Give me all

BRIDGE:
Need your lovin'
Need your kissin'
Don't want nothin'
To be missin'

You're givin' me portions
You wanna move fast
What you're giving
Is never gonna last

I wanna be closer
I need to have more
'Cause I'm gonna love you
like no one before

CHORUS

BRIDGE

I'm on fire babe
You wanna build me up
Just to let me down

Baby when you need me
Wintertime or anytime at all
I'll be right there for you
Be right there whenever you call

And I say baby I'm addicted
I'm addicted to your love
I love you more and more
More and more than all the stars above

And I say boy I love the way you walk
And I say boy even when you talk
You rock my world
Feel so good to me
Don't you know that you're my fantasy

Want - I want your lovin'
Need - I need ya
Want - I want your lovin'
Need - I need ya
Can't ya see
Your love is good for me

Baby when you need me
Wintertime or anytime at all
I'll be right there for you
Be right there whenever you call

And I say baby you can do it
You know how to love me, love me right
You know just what to do
Know just how to fill my appetite

Keep givin' me lovin', lovin', lovin', lovin'

Time after time, I've pondered this love that I'm feeling
I feel so divine
It must be a crime
Don't take it away

BRIDGE:
More than a few told me "I love you"
Now I know better
When it got down to you
Somehow I knew
My number was up for some sweet sweet lovin'

CHORUS:
Keep givin' me lovin', lovin', lovin', lovin'
I'm talkin' 'bout lovin', lovin', lovin', lovin'

You've captured this girl, rockin' my world ya got me reelin'
Ain't no future with another
You're my one and only lover
Come on and stay

BRIDGE

CHORUS

Is it any wonder I want you so
Only you can satisfy my need
Can't you see my hunger won't let you go
Babe you belong to me, just to me

I, I can't explain
How ya got inside my system
But I feel the sweetest pain
I, I can't do that
But I got to break this tension
If it makes you feel the same

An ordinary woman
That's all I am
And I think I'm falling
For an ordinary man

Take me to your heart
When the love begins
You and I can only try
To make a love with no strings
Take me to your heart
When the story ends
You and I we can't deny
We're making love with no strings
No conductor
Could've played this situation
Better than a fool or millionaire
I won't tie you down
With a little love and affection
All I wanna do is share

A little time together
Maybe holding hands
An ordinary woman
And an ordinary man

Take me to your heart
When the love begins
You and I could say goodbye
And we'll always be friends
Take me to your heart
When the story ends
You and I we can't deny
We got a love with no strings

Cold endless summer days
Since you went away
Tore my heart in two
And now wandering through the night
I see the city lights
Feelin' so in need, I'll never be at peace

CHORUS:
Love you all my lifetime
Lost to you eternally
Everything in my life
Tell me we were meant to be

Strange someone's always wrong
Dreams don't last that long
What part did I play
In that game
And now, now you turn away
Excuses are too late
Feelin' so in need, I'll never be at peaceI

repeat chorus

You make the rain and the night go away
You make the sun rise up in the sky
You make the rain and the night go away
You make the sun rise up in the sky

Repeat chorus twice

Sitting by the telephone
Waiting for a bell to ring
I don't want another call
I just want to hold you

I'm givin' my everything
Givin' all my time
So darlin', darlin', darlin', darlin' call
Won't you call me boy

I'll go anywhere you want
I'll be anything you say
All i want is to feel your arms around me

I'm givin' my everything
Givin' all my time
So darlin', darlin', darlin', darlin' please
(won't you)

Chorus:
Stay with me baby
Stay here for a little while
Won't you say you'll stay here for the night
Stay right here with me sweet baby
Stay here for a little while
For a while

I'm sitting at my window
And i look
Where are you

I wonder if you even know
You belong to me
No matter where you roam
You've got to take me

I'm givin' my everything
Givin' all my time
So darlin', darlin', darlin', darlin' please
(won't you)

Even if i have to wait all night
I don't even care
I've waited all my life
Let me love you

I'm givin' my everything
Givin' all my time
So darlin', darlin', darlin', darlin' please
(won't you)

Hey sister
I never knew which way to go
Everybody had an answer
So I said
Go lecture someone, go lecture someone

I could feel it in my heart babe
I couldn't scream, I couldn't shout
I had to find out in my own way
Ran into someone - ran into someone

I'll be the woman I am
Now I don't have to hide
All that I feel inside
I'll be the woman I am
Just had to let it show
Had nowhere else to go

I had to learn to trust myself
I had to learn just when to say no
Always trying to please someone else
I had to let go, I had to let go

The world is filled of many wonders
I had to look to heaven for my own
I saw the star that I was unter
Lord lead me back home, lead me back home

I'll be the woman I am
Now I don't have to hide
All that I feel inside
I'll be the woman I am
Just had to let it show
Had nowhere else to go

I can look at myself and I'm not afraid
I have finally learned how to love
I can feel everything that I've never felt
And I'm sure now that I've always known

One heart
One hand
One woman
One man
To love
To live together

This time
This place
This lifelong embrace
Could last
Could be forever

This time
Endings don't apply
No broken hearts
No crying eyes
This time
No emptiness for us
Just you and I
In love this time

To trust
To care
To dream and
To dare
Believe in
Something better

This time
Endings don't apply
No broken hearts
No crying eyes
This time
No emptiness for us
Just you and I
In love this time

Here because the angels smiled on us
The angels smiled on us...this time
Here because we're the ones who shine
We're the ones who shine...this time

It's five a.m. when you walk in
This is where your story begins
You say you've been out with the fellas
But the perfume tells me where you've been

Well I knew for sure, when you walked through the door
You had another lover
I read the signs, but I tried to hide
All the pain I felt inside

You can make the story right
I believe what you say though you tell me lies
You can make the story right
It's a fact to me, but it's fiction to you, oh...

Same old song, same old story
You keep telling me lies
You think I don't mind that you're unfaithful
But you never see the tears I cry

You've been letting me down, but I can't give you up
I don't wanna let you go
We've spent so much time, trying to make it right
I don't wanna loose the love we have

(You can make the story right)
You can make the story right
(I believe what you say, though you tell me lies)
I believe what you tell me
(You can make the story right)
Oh, oh...
It's a fact to me, but it's fiction to you

You've been lettin' me down, but I can't give you up
Don't want another lover
We've spent so much time trying to make it right
I don't wanna loose the love we had

Captured effortlessly
That's the way it was
Happened so naturally
I did not know it was love
The next thing I felt was
You holding me close
What was I gonna do?
I let myself go

And now we're flyin' through the stars
I hope this night will last forever

I've been waitin' for you
It's been so long
I knew just what I would do
When I heard your song
Filled my heart with your bliss
Gave me freedom
You knew I could not resist
I needed someone

And now we're flyin' through the stars
I hope this night will last forever
Oh oh oh oh

CHORUS:
Ain't nobody
Loves me better
Makes me happy
Makes me feel this way
Ain't nobody
Loves me better than you

I wait for night time to come
And bring you to me
Can't believe I'm the one
I was so lonely
I feel like no one could feel
I must be dreamin'
I want this dream to be real
I need this feelin'

I make my wish upon a star
And hope this night will last forever
oh oh oh oh

CHORUS

And first you put your arms around me
Then you put your charms around me
I can't resist this sweet surrender
Oh my nights are warm and tender
We stare into each other's eyes
And what we see is no surprise
Got a feeling most would treasure
And a love so deep we cannot measure

CHORUS
