Wear high heel! ed shoes, get love from the Jews
Four bad ass chicks from the Moulin Rouge

Roar until he cried

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 don't go shopping for love
You're something money can't buy

I dream in colors, and my dreams are only shades of you
So I'm
Never [Repeat: x13]
Blue

I don't go wishing on stars
I just want to be where you are
Too many times it felt so right,
But it was just the night
Now I see the light

I don't care nothing 'bout going out
Now that I found out what it's all about
Hear me shout
I've saved it all up for you
And if you feel like I do
Well we're long over due

I'm never out after dark
You'll always find me, here at home
And if you decide to stay up late
Hey baby don't you hesitate
Oh, I can't hardly wait

I don't care nothing 'bout going out
Now that I found what it's all about
Your gonna hear me shout
I've saved it all up for you
And if you feel like I do
Well we're long over due

I said we're
Long overdue
What about me, what about you
Long overdue
What about me, what about you
Long overdue

I don't go shopping no more
What about me, what about you
We're long overdue

What about me, what about you
We're long overdue

How is it that two people
Who laughed together and loved together
Sometimes end up far apart?
(Tell me how is it?)

And how is it that two people
Who cry together, wanna die together
Sometimes end up with a broken heart?

Isn't it a shame
(Isn't it a shame, my friend)
Sometimes such a love?
(Sometimes such a love such as this must end)
Isn't it a shame
(Isn't it a shame, you have to laugh before you cry)

And how is it that two people
Who cling together wanna dream, dream together
(Cling together wanna have a little dream together)
Oh, they end up alone?
(Tell me how is it?)

And how is it that two people
Who plan together, make a little life together
Sometimes end up along that road?

Isn't it a shame?
(Isn't it a shame, my friend?)
Sometimes such a love
(Love must end)

Isn't it a shame?
(You have to laugh before you)
Isn't it a shame that such a love must leave?

Isn't it a shame?
Sometimes such a love
Isn't it a shame?
Isn't it a shame that such a love must leave?

Isn't it a shame?
Sometimes such a love
Isn't it a shame?

I use to sing to an empty room. I was so lonley and so out of toon. Then you came around and made my life a happy song. It's a joy to have your love. Such a joy to feel your love. Never set me free, cause darline i can't be without you without you baby. I use to go to a show all alone. I'd sit through it twice I just couldn't go home.

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?

You are my friend,
I never knew it 'til then
My friend, my friend

You hold my hand,
You might not say a word
But I see your tears when I show my pain

You're--- my, my friend
I never knew it 'til then
My friend
I feel your love,
When you're not near
It helps me make it knowing you care

The thought of you helps me carryon


When I feel all hope is gone
I see the world wit brand new eyes
Your love has made me realize
My future looks bright to me,
Oh because you are my friend
Da, da, da, da (ad lib)

I've been looking around and you were here all the time.
Da, da, da (ad lib)
I've been around and around and around and around
Da, da, da
I've been looking around and you were here all the time
(Repeat)

Tonight I'm gonna break away
Just you wait and see
I've never been imprisoned by
A faded memory

Just when I think I'm over her
This broken heart will mend
I hear her name and I have to cry
The tears come down again

[Chorus]
It happens all the time
This crazy love of mine
Wrapped around my heart
Refusing to unwind
Ooh-ooh, crazy love, ah

Count the stars in the southern sky
That fall without a sound
And then pretend that you can't hear
These teardrops coming down

[Chorus]

Tonight I'm gonna break away
Just you wait and see
I've never been imprisoned by
A faded memory

[Chorus]

Tonight I'm gonna break away

There's no such a thing as a broken heart,
It can't be shattered, can't be torn apart,
It won't start bleeding when love seems gone,
It just keeps beating on and on and on and on,
Someday this hurt that I feel will pass,
These tears I cry over you won't last,
I know my dreams won't really die,
And there's life for me so much life when I,
One by one I learn, don't block the blessing,
See all the love that still surrounds my life,
Step by step I'll move out of the darkness,
And make my way in to the light,
There's no gain living in the past,
Wishing for yesterdays we no longer have,
Each new moment brings me some,
Brand new chance to overcome,
One by one I learn, don't block the blessings,
See all the love that still surrounds my life,
Step by step I moved out of darkness,
And made my way in to the light,
There's no gain living in the past,
Wishing for yesterdays we no longer have,
Each new moment brings me some brand new chance,
I think I will overcome,
Don't block the blessings,
Don't give up what ever you do,
Don't block the blessings,
Good things will hapeen for you.

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

I don't go shopping for love
You're something money can't buy

I dream in colors, and my dreams are only shades of you
So I'm
Never [Repeat: x13]
Blue

I don't go wishing on stars
I just want to be where you are
Too many times it felt so right,
But it was just the night
Now I see the light

I don't care nothing 'bout going out
Now that I found out what it's all about
Hear me shout
I've saved it all up for you
And if you feel like I do
Well we're long over due

I'm never out after dark
You'll always find me, here at home
And if you decide to stay up late
Hey baby don't you hesitate
Oh, I can't hardly wait

I don't care nothing 'bout going out
Now that I found what it's all about
Your gonna hear me shout
I've saved it all up for you
And if you feel like I do
Well we're long over due

I said we're
Long overdue
What about me, what about you
Long overdue
What about me, what about you
Long overdue

I don't go shopping no more
What about me, what about you
We're long overdue

What about me, what about you
We're long overdue

I must have rehearsed my lines
A thousand times
Until I had them memorized
But when I get up the nerve
To tell you, the words
Just never seem to come out right

(Chorus:)
If only you knew
How much I do
Do love you
If only you knew
How much I do
Do need you

I dream of moments we share
But you're not there
I'm living in a fantasy
'Cause you don't even suspect
Could prob'ly care less
About the changes I've been going through

(Repeat chorus)

No, you don't even suspect
Could prob'ly care less
About the changes I've been going through

(Repeat chorus until fade)

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...

How is it that two people
Who laughed together and loved together
Sometimes end up far apart?
(Tell me how is it?)

And how is it that two people
Who cry together, wanna die together
Sometimes end up with a broken heart?

Isn't it a shame
(Isn't it a shame, my friend)
Sometimes such a love?
(Sometimes such a love such as this must end)
Isn't it a shame
(Isn't it a shame, you have to laugh before you cry)

And how is it that two people
Who cling together wanna dream, dream together
(Cling together wanna have a little dream together)
Oh, they end up alone?
(Tell me how is it?)

And how is it that two people
Who plan together, make a little life together
Sometimes end up along that road?

Isn't it a shame?
(Isn't it a shame, my friend?)
Sometimes such a love
(Love must end)

Isn't it a shame?
(You have to laugh before you)
Isn't it a shame that such a love must leave?

Isn't it a shame?
Sometimes such a love
Isn't it a shame?
Isn't it a shame that such a love must leave?

Isn't it a shame?
Sometimes such a love
Isn't it a shame?

I use to sing to an empty room. I was so lonley and so out of toon. Then you came around and made my life a happy song. It's a joy to have your love. Such a joy to feel your love. Never set me free, cause darline i can't be without you without you baby. I use to go to a show all alone. I'd sit through it twice I just couldn't go home. Then you came alone and gave my life a happy song. It's a joy to have your love, such a joy to feel your love. Never set me free, cause darline I can't be without you, without you baby. Have you baby, have you baby. ohh. I feel so good havin you around. It's a joy to have you, It's a joy to see you, It's a joy to feel you, such a joy to have your love. it's a joy to have, such a joy to feel. Never set me free cause baby I don't wanna be can't be without you.

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

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

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
I'll do what no one can
You'll find that I'm the everything that you need
Deep down inside of you
No matter what you do

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

And more

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.

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

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?

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, got to break it up now
(Ooh...got to sir 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

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.

<i>Lyrics &copy; EMI Music Publishing</i>

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

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

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?)

He's out of my life
He's out of my life
And I don't know whether to laugh or cry
I don't know whether to live or die
And it cuts like a knife
He's out of my life

It's out of my hands
It's out of my hands
To think the two years he was here
And I took him for granted I was so cavalier
Now the way that it stands
He's out of my hands

So I've learned that loves not possession
And I've learned that love won't wait
Now I've learned that love needs expression
But I learned too late

And he's out of my life
He's out of my life
Damned in decision and cursed pride
I kept my love for him locked deep inside
And it cuts like a knife
He's out of my life

I got a mirror, a bottle and a pen
The mirror is cracked
The bottle is empty
And my pen don't know where to begin

I've got a picture, a letter, and a song
The picture is torn
The letter is worn
And my tune has been sung before

Another show is over
And the lights have gone down
There's no flowers at my door
No, no callers come around, baby

But I'm glad to be alive and in the land of the living
Oh, I can't believe that I survived
And I'm in the land of the living
Can't believe that I survived

I saw the city, the lights and the music
The city is hard
The lights they have lied
The music just seems to have died

And I had my hope
I had my faith
Oh, my pride, yeah
And to hope I cling
To faith I am blind
And my pride I have left far behind

Another show is over
And the lights have gone down
There's no flowers at my door
Ain't no callers come around babe

But I'm glad to be alive and in the land of the living, babe
I can't believe that I survived
Still in the land of the living, baby
Can't believe that I'm alive

Still in the land of the living, baby
Can't believe that I survived
Oh no, I'm still in the land of the living
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

You see another night is over
And the curtain's come down
I see no flowers at my door
Oh, no one's comin' 'round, yeah
But I'm glad to be alive
Still in the land of the living
Bet you can't believe I survived
Still alive in the land of the living

Oh babe, I'm still alive
In the land of the living
I bet you, bet you can't believe

You abandoned me
Love don't live here anymore
Just a vacancy
Love don't live here anymore

When you lived inside of me
There was nothing I could conceive
That you wouldn't do for me
Trouble seemed so far away
You changed that right away, baby

You abandoned me
Love don't live here anymore
Just a vacancy
Love don't live here anymore

Love don't live here anymore
Just emptiness and memories
Of what we had before
You went away
Found another place to stay, another home

You abandoned me
Love don't live here anymore
Just a vacancy
Love don't live here anymore

In the windmills of my eyes
Everyone can see the loneliness inside me
Why'd ya have to go away
Don't you know I miss you so and need your love

You abandoned me
Love don't live here anymore
Just a vacancy
Love don't live here anymore

You abandoned me
Love don't live here anymore
Just a vacancy
Love don't live here anymore

Love don't live here anymore
Love don't live here anymore

You abandoned me
Love don't live here anymore
Love don't live here anymore
Love don't live here anymore

Repeat chorus

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
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, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I got a new attitude

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

It's hard to see the fear inside
As I walk away from you
And distance overcomes the miles
As slowly I pull through
And I cannot reach the world today
'cause I'm suffering from you
And the more I think, the more I cry
As I walk away from you

[Chorus:]
I'm two steps away
From loneliness
I'm awake
From the mess we made
I'm alive
And I'm feeling incomplete

I don't understand my life
Or the version that chose you
And the warring hearts and winter came
Now there's nothing left to do
And I cannot reach the world today
'cause I'm suffering from two
And the more I think, the more we die
As I walk away from you

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
I'm two steps away
I'm two steps away
I'm two steps away
I'm two steps away

Two steps away
Two steps away
From loneliness
I'm awake
From the mess we made
I'm alive

Two steps away
Two steps away
Two steps away

Here you come, walking my way
So much inside me
I wanna say, I've been holding on
For the longest, longest time

And I finally got the nerve
To tell you how I feel about you, the nerve
I can't live without you
The nerve to tell you what's been on my mind for a lifetime

And I finally got the nerve
I found the words to say, I've got the nerve
Can't wait another day, I've got the nerve
Don't wanna lose it this time

I'm trying to make
Tryin' to make a connection
But I'm afraid that there might be rejection on your part
It would break my heart in a million pieces

Can't go through it
(Through it)
Another day
I gotta let you know, I feel this way about you, baby
I dream about you in my life

And I finally got the nerve
To tell you how I feel about you, the nerve
I can't live without you, the nerve
I got the nerve to tell you what's been on my mind for a lifetime

When you walk by, my heart skips a beat
I contemplate the thought of you and me
I get weak for you
I can't get you off of my mind

I know I got to
(Got to)
Got to keep it real
'Cause you know how, you know how I feel
I'm wanting you and I'm needing you every day

And I finally got the nerve
To tell you how I feel about you, the nerve
I've got the nerve, the nerve
I've got the nerve to tell you what's been on my mind for a lifetime

And I finally got the nerve
To tell you how I feel about you, the nerve
I can't wait another day, I got the nerve
Don't wanna lose it, don't wanna lose it this time

I sure don't mind givin you good lovin' baby
You know I don't mind givin you good lovin' baby
You love me unlike any love I've ever known
I really do appreciate it baby
The way you call my name sweet baby
Every little touch, every little kiss
I never felt as good as this
So anytime you call me baby
I'll be there to give you what you need

[Chorus:]
I sure don't mind givin you good lovin' baby
Anytime you want me baby
I'll be there to give you what you need
You know I don't mind givin you good lovin' baby
Anytime you need me sugar
Satisfaction guaranteed
I'm feelin you, and I really want to let you know
You can have what you want anytime you want me
No matter what it is anything just ask me
Everytime we touch, everytime we kiss

So just call me baby
I'll be there to give you what you need boy

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
I won't hesitate no,
You know that I'm here for you baby
Cause the love you give to me
Makes it so easy to return
That's why I don't mind
I sure don't mind givin you good lovin' everyday
I sure don't mind givin you good lovin' baby
I sure don't mind givin you good lovin' baby
No matter what you want, any time you want me
No matter what it is, anything just ask me
You know I don't mind givin you goood lovin' baby
No matter what you want, any time you want me
No matter what it is, anything just ask me...

Does my discomfort
Comfort you
Do you believe that joy
Is too much to hope for
Can you see?
Our existence could be so much more
Create yours
And all I ask is
Just a little respect from you
Do you even know who I am

[Chorus]
Do you hear my cry
Do you believe in me
'Cause I believe in you
Hear my cry
Do you believe in me
'Cause I believe in you
Hear my cry
Do you believe in me
'Cause I believe in you
Hear my cry
Do you believe in me
'Cause I believe in you

You shaped my passion
But shame my name
Your fear is to listen
And to recognize my pain
You block my journey
You mock my tears
Tell me why
I spoke for us, for we
But now there's just silence

[Chorus]

For a brighter day
I hope to see you again
For a brighter day
I'm hoping we can still be friends
For a brighter day
I wish we could fly away
Together baby you and I
Can't you hear my cry,
My cry, my cry

[Chorus]

[Chorus]
It's time to tell him how you feel
Baby stop playin' around, gonna miss out on what's real
It's time to show him you're for real
If you won't someone else will yeah

You're a woman now, and it's time for you
Time you grow up and learn your way
Make this house a home, and make sure he knows
You're the one he can count on

[Chorus]

Now that you've settle down, how could you wear a frown
Knowing that he is the one
His love has been so good, it's time you understood
That he'll never let you down

[Chorus: x2]

[Bridge]
Has there ever been a time, you let him slip away
You didn't know what you had, now you wish he would have stayed
Girlfriend it's time to grow and learn what it takes
To hold on to the real thing

[Chorus: x2]

<i>Lyrics &copy; Warner/Chappell Music, Inc.</i>

You're driving me crazy, it's something I can't explain
Whatever you're doing to me why don't you do it again?
I've never been so in love must've been sent from above
To fill my empty nights make everything alright
Your love is too good for words

Mm, mm, mm
Mm, mm, mm
Mm, mm, mm
Your love is everything

If I could imagine the perfect man it would be you
You bring out the woman in me with everything that you do
I've never been so alive where have you been all my life
I love the way it feels to have a man that's real I'm so happy inside

Mm, mm, mm
Mm, mm, mm
Mm, mm, mm
Your love is everything

Anything you want from me I will give you what you need
Just say the word and it's done
I know you're the one your kiss is like a drug to me
Love the way you're touching me I'm addicted to you
And that thing that you do

Mm, mm, mm
Mm, mm, mm
Mm, mm, mm
Your love is everything

Don't get mad if I treat me
To a day I only shop for me
Don't get mad if I buy the clothes
That you think are not the style for me
Who I am is not what I wear
And what I think has nothing to do with hair
Love me by what my heart shows
But it seems like you just can't let it go

[Chorus:]
You keep talking bout my clothes
But the clothes don't make the woman
You keep talking bout my hair
But this hair can't give you lovin'

(Only me)
You keep talkin bout my shoes
But my shoes don't make me money
Now why you actin so hysterical
I'm so much more than material
Don't get mad if I treat me
To a day of cosmotology
Don't get mad if you see me
Exploring different sides of me
Deep inside of my outer shell
There's only so much I'd show and tell
Love me like the real girl you know
But it seems that you just can't let it go

[Chorus]


[Bridge:]
More than material
More than the typical
More than just a video
A respectable
And effectual, girl
[Repeat]

[Chorus]

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
I'll do what no one can
You'll find that I'm the everything that you need
Deep down inside of you
No matter what you do
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

No sweat, 'cause help is on the way
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 do what no one can
You'll find that I'm the everything that you need
Deep down inside of you
No matter what you do
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

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

Make it easy on yourself
Darling, [Incomprehensible]

I used to think that we were always gonna be in love
But I was so naive back then I wasn't wise enough
To know there ain't nothing in this life that's guaranteed
You take your chances when you let your heart lead

And heaven knows how much I wanted to keep loving you
You let me down when you said some things that were untrue
So I'm giving you up 'cause there ain't enough love in this world
To change my mind, we're out of time, the dream is over

I've got my reasons for the way that I feel
Suffered in silence when I had to conceal
My honest emotions, truth must be revealed
Might not be right but I've just got to be real

We could go on forever never really letting go
What's the sense in that when in our hearts we knew
This isn't working, we're on a dead end road
Don't think my back can stand the weight of the load

And while it's hard for me to admit we made a mistake
I can't pretend no more, it's too much to take
Time for moving on, I said all I have to say
Won't live a lie, this is goodbye, the dream is over now

I've got my reasons for the way that I feel
Suffered in silence when I had to conceal
My honest emotions, truth must be revealed
Might not be right but I've just got to be real

And as I walk away though I'm leaving with tears and regrets
There are memories of you I will never forget
But it's time for me to do what my heart tells me to
I have to be strong but right or wrong, I'll always love you

I've got my reasons for the way that I feel
Suffered in silence when I had to conceal
My honest emotions, truth must be revealed
Might not be right but I've just got to be real

I've got my reasons for the way that I feel
Suffered in silence when I had to conceal
My honest emotions, truth must be revealed
Might not be right but I've just got to be real

I've got my reasons for the way that I feel
Suffered in silence when I had to conceal

We talk, it's always good
So much is already understood
We spend time, I like being with you
You're mine I wouldn't deny it's true

Even though I think you, dream about you
Want you so much
There's something you gotta know

[Chorus]
I want something more
More than a dream
More than a wish
More than a vision
I'm lookin' for more
More than just words
More than a promise
More than a feeling
I want something more
It's got to be more

You said that you're taking your time
But I wonder
In the end will you be mine
You're sweet, I crave your touch

We make good love
But sometimes that's not enough
Even though you're good to me
And another woman would settle for less
There's something I must confess

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
More than just a feel so good emotion
Something I can count on in the midst of a storm
To bring back the sunshine again

[Chorus: x 2]

When you love someone like you do
There's no in between, not for you
You give him everything that you got
You love him all the way or not
When you love someone it just hurts
When you've done everything to make it work
So when everything's not enough
Maybe he's just not the one

[Chorus:]
Sometimes love walks away
Sometimes love has to change
Sometimes the heart has to break
But you're not the only one
That's been hurt by love
Sometimes love's not the way
That you thought it would be
Sometimes you just got to leave
But you're not the only one
That's been hurt by love
When you love someone it's natural
To have second thoughts, should you go
It's not easy girl, being strong
You keep wondering if you were wrong
But don't you fall for that it's a game
The trying to make you feel you're to blame
To protect your heart there's no shame
You know better girl walk away

[Chorus]

I can't believe we have to deal with so much misery
We tear each other down, it's such a shame to see
All the love we could share, we take for granted
You never miss what you had until its gone

Life is unpredictable
You could be here today, and gone tomorrow
Why waste precious time
When all we need to find is the love inside

It's up to us to make a better way
We have to change our hearts to heal the world today
Don't cost you nothing but a smile
To make somebody's life feel worthwhile

Life is unpredictable
You could be here today, and gone tomorrow
Why waste precious time
When all we need to find is the love inside

You can take it to a place
Beautiful, wonderful, unpredictable

Life is unpredictable
You could be here today, and gone tomorrow
Why waste precious time
When all we need to find is the love inside

(verse)
In my life I never
Dreamed I'd ever
Feel the way I do
When we're together
Loving you I'm brand new
Nothing could be better
Every moment spent with you
Is so incredible
You're the king of my heart
Your kiss is on my soul

(chorus)
Finally I've found
What I've been looking for
You are everything to me
And even more
I can see the heart of you
I so adore in your eyes
When you smile
All my hopes and dreams are
Really coming true
Only happens anytime
That I'm with you
Being here right now
Is all I want to do
In my life
When you smile

(verse)
All it took was just a glance
And I was captivated
I'm so glad that we've had
This time beneath the sun

(chorus)
Finally I've found
What I've been looking for
You are everything to me
And even more
I can see the heart of you
I so adore in your eyes
When you smile
All my hopes and dreams are
Really coming true
Only happens anytime
That I'm with you
Being here right now
Is all I want to do
In my life
When you smile

(bridge)
I don't crave gold
To make me whole
I just need you
To soothe my soul
And be for me
My shining star
I love you just
The way you are

(chorus)
Finally I've found
What I've been looking for
You are everything to me
And even more
I can see the heart of you
I so adore in your eyes
When you smile
All my hopes and dreams are
Really coming true
Only happens anytime
That I'm with you
Being here right now
Is all I want to do
In my life

Find me, you can always find me,
Lovin' you so kindly, your life is like candlelight,
And darlin' no one told us,
No one every told us,
What this love could hold for us,
Maybe we were meant to find it, faithfully,
There is always a sun that's rising,
When I know in your heart you're there for me,
And from now on,
Your flame just keeps me burnin' on,
Know you, no one knows like I do,
There's one thing I'm sure is true,
That we were meant to share our whole lives through,
There is always a sun that's rising,
When I know your heart you're there for me,
And from now on,
Your flame just keeps me burnin' on,
There is always a star that's shining,
Whether you're far away or near to me,
And from now on,
Your flame just keeps me burnin' on,
There is always a star that's shining,
And from now on,
Your flame just keeps me burnin' on.

I must have rehearsed my lines
A thousand times
Until I had them memorized
But when I get up the nerve
To tell you, the words
Just never seem to come out right

(Chorus:)
If only you knew
How much I do
Do love you
If only you knew
How much I do
Do need you

I dream of moments we share
But you're not there
I'm living in a fantasy
'Cause you don't even suspect
Could prob'ly care less
About the changes I've been going through

(Repeat chorus)

No, you don't even suspect
Could prob'ly care less
About the changes I've been going through

(Repeat chorus until fade)

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...

Hey Sister, Go Sister, Soul Sister, Go Sister (x2)

Mocca chocolata Ya Ya

Living his brave life of lies
But when he turns off to sleep
All memories keep More, More, More

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

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
