Deborah Cox

It's obvious, that you got it goin on
And I'm contemplating
I'm curious, it you mean what you say when you say it
And if you're serious about what you wanna do
Cause I have to be honest with you
I'm not into you
Casanovas, telling me what I wanna hear
Just so they can get over
And after they get what they want, they're done
But I been there and done that
But you don't really seem like that
You're just so cool, and it just seems

[Chorus:]
Too good to be true
What you say what you do
So I gotta be careful
Don't wanna fall too soon
And if I come across sometimes being rude
It's nothing against you
It just seems, too good to be true

I'd love for us to keep doing things together
But I don't wanna rush the feeling (don't wanna rush the feeling)
We can take our time (our time)
I really don't mind
Besides I gotta know, what you waitin for
Cause I don't need no
Casanova, telling me what I wanna hear
Just so you can get over
And after you get what you want, you're done
But I been there and done that
But you don't really seem like that
You're just so cool, and it just seems

[Chorus]

Tell me if we stay together
In a month will u break it off?
I've seen it happen to so many others
And I'd rather not
Go through that heartache

Always waitin' for someone
To make me happy, pick me up
I realize that someone is me
What you call life, that ain't livin'
Bless the child that's got his own
It's my season, now I stand alone
Just thought that I would let you know
Some things you just can't control

[Chorus:]
Should I wear my hair in a ponytail?
Should I dress myself up in chanel?
Do I measure me by what you think?
Absolutely not, absolutely not
If I go to work in a mini-skirt
Am I givin' you the right to flirt?
I won't compromise my point of view
Absolutely not, absolutely not

Told myself I won't complain
But some things have got to change
Not gon' be a victim of
All your social push and shove
Right or wrong, you judge the same
My picture never fit your frame
What you thought, you'll never know
You can't see me with your mind closed

[Repeat Chorus]

Now I see, life means more to me
More than fancy clothes
More than you'll ever know
All the ugly words that I heard you say
Made me stronger everyday
Now I live my life for me

[Repeat Chorus 3x]

Oh, ooh
Woah, oh, ooh

It's your life
Thing may not always go right, for you
In those times
Just leave it behind
Cause sometimes you gotta play the game
Just to survive
Without losing yourself
It's a fight, it's true
It takes time
Don't have all the answers
No matter how hard it gets
Hold on to what's inside

[Chorus]
Don't never let nobody bring you down girl
Don't never let nobody tear your world apart
Look in the mirror and see who you are
Beautiful U R

In the dark
The paint chips have waited your heart
So deep
Can't you see
See the light in the distance
Open up your eyes, look, look to the sky
And believe
There's much more to life when you free
That's the key
And in time
You will find all the answers
Don't have to loose your pride
Hold on to what's inside

[Chorus: x2]

Don't care what they say anymore
There's no time to be insecure
I leave it all at the door

She staring at him in the face
She's taking it day by day
I'm finally on my way

[Chorus: x2]

Beautiful U R [Repeat: x3]

-repeat 2

To just act like we never were
To come around and not show hurt
How dare we greet by shaking hands
Just months ago
I was your man was your man
Verbally we'd agreed it was over
And we were through
I'm trying to compose myself
But I just can't get over you
girl We can't be friends
We can't
Deborah you know
I can't go on being
just your friend yeah
We can't be friends
Cuz I'm still in love with you
I went by mother's
saw your car there
To her you're still family
And it don't seem fair
For everyone to just go on
And I've tried and I can't do it
Cuz I'm still torn
I tried to think of you
as just another love
In my past that didn't last
But it's not that simple baby
We can't be friends
oh no no no
We can't be friends
if we can't be lovers
We can't be friends
Cuz I'm still in love
You may see me staring
Or catch me in a daze
May see me hang my head
When you come my way
Don't get too close to me
And expect me to behave
I might just steal a kiss
If you come near my face
What I'm trying to say
We can't be friends
Can you look me in the eyes and
honestly say you dont love me
Said do you know
R L I know
I'll never ever
find another love like you
I love you too much baby
I love you too much oh

We can't be friends
I'm still in love
with you
With you
I am
I am
Still in love
Still in love
With you

There were words between us
Words that hurt inside
Still that’s just no reason to say the word goodbye
We can’t let go of something beautiful
We can’t just let it die
Can’t you and I just try to find one reason
To just give us one more try
Couldn’t love (Heal the pain)
Heal the pain (Couldn’t time)
Couldn’t time (Take the tears)
Take the tears away
Couldn’t you (You and me)
You and me (try again)
Try again (couldn’t we)
Couldn’t we, couldn’t you, couldn’t me
Couldn’t we couldn’t we
start the story over
Turn the page tonight
Nothing wrong between us
That love could not make right
Can’t we forgive and let our hearts forget
let the love back inside
Can’t you and I just get back to those feelings
And feel them just one more time
Couldn’t love (Heal the pain)
Heal the pain (Couldn’t time)
Couldn’t time (Take the tears)
Take the tears away
Couldn’t you (You and me)
You and me (try again)
Try again (couldn’t we)
Couldn’t we, couldn’t you, couldn’t me
Couldn’t we couldn’t we
turn back the hands of time
To a time when love was right
To those nights when the touch was sweat
Can’t we find our way back before we lost everything
Couldn’t love (Heal the pain)
Heal the pain (Couldn’t time)
Couldn’t time (Take the tears)
Take the tears away
Couldn’t you (You and me)
You and me (try again)
Try again (couldn’t we)
Couldn’t we stay together
Couldn’t we make it better
Couldn’t we turn the page and start the story over
Couldn’t we bring the love back
Couldn’t we have one more chance
Couldn’t we hold each other just a little closer
You and me, try again
Couldn’t we, couldn’t we, couldn’t we baby
Couldn’t we stay together
Couldn’t we make it better
Couldn’t we turn the page and start the story over
Couldn’t we bring the love back

You know he's wrong, when he stays out all night long
And he don't return your calls, well I ain't got time for that
You better walk away, girl it's time to make that change
You know that all men ain't the same
Cause I be lovin' my man cuz he don't get down like that

[Chorus:]
If he's giving you more (than a little bit)
And if he's giving his all (can you handle it)
You keep holding it down
Yeah if he's givin' it up
Hold it down for the one you love

See I remember those days when they took more than they gave
And the tears rolled down my face, for someone to give me that good love
But then he came and turned my lonely nights to brighter days
And I never will be the same
Cause I be lovin' my man, ladies can you feel me
And if your man is givin' you more

[Chorus]

Is it his style- He's got the jeans and Timbs and the iced out pinky ring
Is it his ride- Got the Benz on chrome but it don't mean a thing to me
Does he spend time- takin' first class flights but I'd rather be at home
So he can touch me, slowly, cause when we're all alone, he gives me more

[Chorus]

I walk through these halls but nothing feels the same
Where we once made our lives, it?s now so empty
The same paint is on the walls
The same songs, I use to sing alone
We?d run through the night but now it?s so cold (so cold)

Oh, this house is not a home
Cuz love don?t live here anymore (since you been gone)
I never felt this all alone since you went away
Cuz this house is not a home (love don?t live here)
Why don?t it feel like it felt before?
I know you?re never coming back
This time is it over? (over)

I look in the mirror and you?re still standing there
It?s just an illusion of what use to be
So I lay in the bed we shared
Where we made love a million times I swear
Can?t face the truth that you moved on, you?re gone

Oh, this house is not a home
Cuz love don?t live here anymore (since you been gone)
I never felt this all alone since you went away
Cuz this house is not a home (love don?t live here no more)
Why don?t it feel like it felt before?

I know you?re never coming back
This time is it over? (over)

In these rooms we were together
But now were so far apart
We should of tried to make it better
But then you went and left and torn up my heart
When you left
No no no
(Love don?t live here)
(Since you been gone)
(It?s so lonely)
(When you coming home?)
(Love don?t live here)
Love don?t live here anymore
(Since you been gone)
Since you went away baby why didn?t you stay?
I?m alone now, it?s so lonely baby
Since you went away
It?s not the same
Is it over? Is it over?
Am I right? Am I right? Am I right?

Heard a million stories
about love
Some were good some were bad
I found that
if you hold on too tight
You might lose
everything you have
Didn't think my heart
could easily break
When you fall in love
that's a chance you take
Now I know from these lessons
that I learned from loving you
I know that everybody
makes mistakes
I hope you still believe
it's not too late
Cause I don't care about
what people think or say
I'd rather take a
chance with you
I'd rather be in love
than be alone
But I never knew
that love could hurt so much

I found it in my heart
to forgive
But it's hard to forget
Cause everyday the
vision creeps in
Of you and somebody else
All my girls told me to
let you go
But I know that one I still love you so
I'll hold on
'Til I gain back the trust
I had in you
I know that everybody
makes mistakes
I hope you still believe
it's not too late
Cause I don't care about
what people think or say
I'd rather take a
chance with you
I'd rather be in love
than be alone
But I never knew
that love could hurt so much
It's killing me
but I'll get over it
But I made my commitment to you
Even though
it's gonna leave a scar
It could never change
what's in my heart
I'll do whatever to stay together
I know that everybody
makes mistakes
I hope you still believe
it's not too late
Cause I don't care about
what people think or say
I'd rather take a
chance with you
I'd rather be in love
than be alone
I know that everybody
makes mistakes
I hope you still believe
it's not too late
Cause I don't care about
what people think or say
I'd rather take a
chance with you
I'd rather be in love
than be alone
But I never knew
that love could hurt so much

It was a cold day in December
I remember it so well
You captured me whole being
And you left me in a spell

You warmed my heart with passion
desiring all of you left me cold in the summer
I wish that I had only knew but I

Chorus:
I never knew that you would be the one
to come along and snatch my heart and run
Away from me with no explanation why
I never knew what we had would die
All I wanna do is hide away
From all the hurt and pain of yesterday
Can you see the tears, the hurt inside
I never knew, please tell me why

All those nights you left me lonely
Keeping company with my fears
That one day you leave me lonely
And that exactly what you did
I thought that I was your baby
the darkest night for you I bear
Now that I need you here with me
I call your name and your not there

You left me standing
so empty-handed
Out in the cold
How was I to know
That my love didn't matter
And my world was shattered
Cause you left me here
drowning in tears, oh why

Chorus:
I never knew that you would be the one
to come along and snatch my heart and run
Away from me with no explanation why
I never knew what we had would die
All I wanna do is hide away
From all the hurt and pain of yesterday
Can't you see the tears, the hurt inside
I never knew, please tell me why

Bridge:
After we made plans to spend our lives together
I thought what we had was meant to be forever
Oh why did our love have to go away
I don't know how, I don't know when
All I know is I？l never love this way again

Chorus:
I never knew that you would be the one
to come along and snatch my heart and run
Away from me with no explanation why
I never knew what we had would die
All I wanna do is hide away
From all the hurt and pain of yesterday
Can't you see the tears, the hurt inside
I never knew, please tell me why

I never knew, I never knew,
I never knew it could be like this (repeat)

Congratulations baby, it's been a while
I heard through the grapevine that you're seeing a friend of mine
I hate to say this baby but I think you should know
I hear 'bout how she treats you everywhere I go

I hear you're runnin', hidin', tryin' to be discreet
But let me to tell you, there's no need for you to hide from me
I've found someone who takes my lovin' seriously
You've gambled and lost baby pay the cost
For walking out on me

It coulda been you loving me
It woulda been everything you wanted a love to be
It coulda been you holding me, seven days a week
And baby if you wanted a real love you shoulda stayed with me

So here you come talkin' baby, with the same ol' lines
You're tryin' to break down my defense
So you can tell me one more lie
But I ain't hearin' you baby
'Cause you caused me pain
This time you've gone too far
And now you lost it all in vain

You say you love me but I find it hard to believe
It didn't take that long for you to get over me
Now after all this time you're trying to get back with me
But now the tables have turned and you're on the outside looking in

It coulda been you loving me
It woulda been everything you wanted a love to be
It coulda been you holding me, seven days a week

It coulda been you loving me
It woulda been everything you wanted a love to be
It coulda been you holding me, seven days a week
And baby if you wanted a real love you shoulda stayed with me

I hear she's got you all stressed out
It cost you a fortune just to take her out
You say that she's takin' you for a ride
I coulda told you so
If I had my choice I would be with you
But you could've done much better too
And that's what you get for thinking that you could find a better love

It coulda been you loving me
It woulda been everything you wanted a love to be
It coulda been you holding me, seven days a week
And baby if you wanted a real love you shoulda stayed with me

It coulda been you loving me

Try to forget about it
Ordinary things:typical predictable
Baby I knew the end before it started
You got me feelin' like I owed you something
'Cause you were there at times when I had nothing
But you threw it all away
With the shady things you do
Baby please forgive me
For what I'm about to say
And what I'm about to do
I can't take no more
I know you ain't been true
Ain't got no love for you
You've been cheatin' and tellin' me lies
You've been creepin' while I'm sleepin' at night
And you've been chasin' every girl in sight
And you've been messin' round and lyin' down
It's over now
You've been cheatin' and tellin' me lies
You've been creepin' while I'm sleepin' at night
And you've been chasin' every girl in sight
And you've been messin' round and lyin' down
It's over now
I ignore my intuition
And pass it off as a suspicion
But you were just so bold
You kept puttin' it in my face
I can't deny I let you hurt me
Baby please forgive me
For what I'm about to say
And what I'm about to do
I can't take no more
I know you ain't been true
Ain't got no love for you
You've been cheatin' and tellin' me lies
You've been creepin' while I'm sleepin' at night
And you've been chasin' every girl in sight
And you've been messin' round and lyin' down
It's over now
You've been cheatin' and tellin' me lies
You've been creepin' while I'm sleepin' at night
And you've been chasin' every girl in sight
And you've been messin' round and lyin' down
It's over now
When you were down I helped to pick you up
Instead you kept lookin' for the one
When all the while what you were searching for
Was in front of your face
Just forget it:you'll regret it
It's really over now
Just turn around and watch me walk
I'm gone
You've been cheatin' and tellin' me lies
You've been creepin' while I'm sleepin' at night
And you've been chasin' every girl in sight
And you've been messin' round and lyin' down
It's over now
You've been cheatin' and tellin' me lies
You've been creepin' while I'm sleepin' at night
And you've been chasin' every girl in sight
And you've been messin' round and lyin' down
It's over now
You've been cheatin' and tellin' me lies
You've been creepin' while I'm sleepin' at night
And you've been chasin' every girl in sight
And you've been messin' round and lyin' down
It's over now

Well it's a party
The lights are low and I'm seein everybody
Just havin some fun
And there's a cutie who's wavin' Hi
Givin me the eye
I guess I'm gonna give him a try, but it's

[Chorus:]
Just a dance nothing more
Leave what happens on the floor
On the floor
You can look but you can't touch because
It's just a dance nothing more
What you need my number for
Ain't no need for you to even think romance
Cause it's just a dance

You might be thinkin'
That because we're dancin close
And we're vibin' that you're gonna get lucky
Take it easy, it's just a party
So let the DJ do his thing and let the music play
Cause it's just a dance

I wanna enjoy the party and have fun like everybody
but your messin' up my groove
What did you come here to do
I won't be goin' home with you

[Chorus]

Eh, oh, oh yeah yeah yeah, eh

I used to think about back then
You walked in and said you're leaving me
Good bye, good bye
I don't know why I never woke up
Torch of your love
You'd given me had died
So I erased you from my mind, but I ?
Just when I think I'm over you
I feel your body cry
Making love to you
Just when I think I'm over you
I hear a song that plays
That we once danced to
I used to think about how you'd pay
The way you would hurt
The way that'd say good bye, good bye
And all the lies, they did you no good
You'd live with yourself I hated you inside
Cuz you were over me
Just when I think I'm over you
I feel your body cry
Making love to you
Just when I think I'm over you
I hear a song that plays
That we once danced to
Just when I think I'm over you
I feel the pain again whenever
I see you
Just when I thought that we？e done
Baby, time has taught me you were the one
When you were there I didn't realize
All the things you meant to me
Till you were gone
And now you're just a memory
I'm still not over you
So let's dance, make 'em dance
Come on and dance
I'm still not over you
So let's dance, make 'em dance
Come on and dance
Just when I think I'm over you
I feel your body cry
Making love to you
Just when I think I'm over you
I hear a song that plays
That we once danced to
Just when I think I'm over you
I feel the pain again whenever
I see you
Just when I thought that we？e done
Baby, time has taught me you were the one
Just when I think I'm over you
I feel your body cry
Making love to you
Just when I think I'm over you
I hear a song that plays
That we once danced to
Just when I think I'm over you
I feel the pain again whenever
I see you
Just when I thought that we？e done
time has taught me

Oh you think you found somebody that could treat you (like I did)
Spend their time doin for you (like I did)
And be there when you say I need you (like I did)
Now this I can't believe

Now do you really think she'll hold it down for you (like I did)
Take all this foolishness from you (like I did)
See if she doesn't she will leave you (like I did)
Then don't come runnin' to me

It could've been you and me but everything I feel is (gone)
You had a good thing in me now it's (gone)
The love I had for you is suddenly (gone)
Away from me

[Chorus:]
I don't need nobody who can't do right by me
I don't need you baby
Cause I'm worth much more you'll see
So just go cause I know
You cannot be faithful
Don't believe she's like me
Just do your thing
I choose to leave

Now when you realize you really had a good thing (like you did)
Then you'll realize you dogged me (like you did)
Wished you never though of cheating (like you did)
Maybe then you'll see

It wasn't cool breaking promises to me (like you did)
Had no reason to deny me (like you did)
Had no shame, you still lied to me (like you did)
Now it's easy to leave

It could've been you and me but everything I feel is (gone)
You had a good thing in me now it's (gone)
The love I had for you is suddenly (gone)
Away from me

[Chorus]

No matter what you do
Don't care what you say
Gotta get away
I won't be second to no one
I can live with the choice I made
Won't look back, no way
I can make it on my own without you

[Chorus]

Girl I know
I'm not all the man I'm suppose to be
Cuz you see I'm just a man
But if you need me, call me
I'll be there, don't worry, yeah

I wanna rock with you
(Do you wanna rock with me?)
I wanna rock with you
(You rock with me)
I wanna rock with you
(Baby, rock me here, baby, rock me there)

Don't you worry
Love is on the way
As we lay we'll rock the night away
You just name the time and day

I know you miss me
And I've been missin' you
Before you know it
I'll be right there next to you
No matter the distance
You're still in my heart
Baby I'm with you
Even though we are apart
So don't worry

Don't you worry
Love is on the way
I really miss you
As we lay we'll rock the night way

Don't you worry
Love is on the way
I really miss you
As we lay we'll rock the night away
You just name the time and day

Never too busy
When it comes to loving you
Hold on I'll be there
(I'll always be there)
Cuz i have plans for me and you, yeah, yeah, yeah

We'll hide away in secret
Just the two of us
Alone again
A special place
Where our love begins
Don't you worry

Don't you worry
Love is on the way
I really miss you
As we lay we'll rock the night away
You just name the time and day

Don't you worry
Love is on the way
I really miss you
As we lay we'll rock the night away
You just name the time and day


I know it
A hideaway, late at night baby
Special place where our love begins
It's where our love began
That's where our love began

Don't you worry
Love is on the way
I really miss you
As we lay we'll rock the night away
You just name the time and day

Each night you held me in your arms
Still you never did keep me warm
Conversation was a waste of time
Never even asked what was on my mind (oh)
It's funny how I can't recall your touch
Spending time alone with you is never enough
This emptiness I feel is too much
You may not understand there's been a change of plans

[Chorus:]
Mr. Lonely, you gotta go
You need to pack your bags and be out the door
Even though you were there for me
You never cared for me
Before I couldn't see but now I know
Mr. Lonely, I'm in love
I've found a real man and you need to know
And this time you won't be coming back
Cause his love will last
Mr. Lonely, who's lonely now?

Two o'clock on a Sunday afternoon
Same place, same park, but where were you
I waited, but you never came
That's when he sat down, but it wasn't the same
Every word I said, he listened to
Everything he had, I was missin' in you
He's the man I never had before
I won't be needin' you no more

[Chorus]

The silence was killin' me
It almost got the best of me
Now that I've got room to breathe
I'm makin' some changes, changes
I'm stronger now; I'm wiser now
A real man wants to hold me now
It's clear to see I'll never be Mrs. Lonely

If you think you're lonely now
Wait until tonight babe
If you think you're lonely now
Wait until tonight babe

[Chorus]

Each night you held me in your arms
Still you never did keep me warm
Conversation was a waste of time
Never even asked what was on my mind (oh)
It's funny how I can't recall your touch
Spending time alone with you is never enough
This emptiness I feel is too much
You may not understand there's been a change of plans

[Chorus]
Mr. Lonely, you gotta go
You need to pack your bags and be out the door
Even though you were there for me
You never cared for me
Before I couldn't see but now I know
Mr. Lonely, I'm in love
I've found a real man and you need to know
And this time you won't be coming back
Cause his love will last
Mr. Lonely, who's lonely now?

Two o'clock on a Sunday afternoon
Same place, same park, but where were you
I waited, but you never came
That's when he sat down, but it wasn't the same
Every word I said, he listened to
Everything he had, I was missin' in you
He's the man I never had before
I won't be needin' you no more

[Chorus]

The silence was killin' me
It almost got the best of me
Now that I've got room to breathe
I'm makin' some changes, changes
I'm stronger now; I'm wiser now
A real man wants to hold me now
It's clear to see I'll never be Mrs. Lonely

If you think you're lonely now
Wait until tonight babe
If you think you're lonely now
Wait until tonight babe

[Chorus]

Yesterday, was not just another day
Not like before
Yesterday, I saw your smilin' face
Love walked through, my door
One precious moment
Changed my life
One tender kiss
Made everything right
One touch from you
And this world was mine
It was in your arms where I found forever
Chorus
Cried my first tears of joy, last night
Heaven shined a light
All my dreams came true
My first night with you
I felt the sun
Shine so bright on me
Chased the rain from my heart
Through the storm
Through the darkest night
I found my brightest star
One magic moment
Made one magic night
I fell in love
With one look in your eyes baby
I never knew I could feel so loved
Darling, in your arms
I could feel forever
Chorus
One precious moment
Changed my life
One tender kiss
Made everything right
One touch from you
And this world was mine
It was in your arms babe
Where I found forever and ever
Cried my first tears of joy, last night (last night I cried)
Heaven shined a light [Heaven shined a light]
All my dreams came true
Cried my first tears of joy, last night (cried, tears, shined)
Heaven shined a light
All my dreams came true
My first night with you.

Home is a place where I'm at peace
A paradise safe and so serene...yeah
A wonder I love so much
Such a rich foundation
To a land of hate and violence
Where did we go wrong?

I'm caught in a war of identity
That threatens to hurt my family
It seems so cold when nobody cares
But now I know
Please won't you show some empathy
Cause if you don't have someone in need
Nobody cares

Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na na
Ooohh

See us the same not differently
Why would you be afraid of me?
Oh yeah
Cause fear and hate held inside
Encourages this genocide
You can't kill the spirit of life
It never dies!
Ooohh

I'm caught in a war of identity
That threatens to hurt my family
It seems so cold when nobody cares
But now I know
Please won't you show some empathy
Cause if you don't have someone in need
Nobody cares
