intro When I had you I treated you bad Wrong my dear But since, since you went away Don't you know I sit around With my head hanging down And I wonder who's loving you
Oooh, my first mistake was I wanted too much time I had to have him morning, noon, and night If I would of known then The things that I know now I might not have lost the time I complain about
chorus Don't waste your time Fighting blind minded thoughts of dispair Hold on to your love You gotta hold on Hold on to your love Ooh, ooh, baby hold on Hold on to your love You gotta hold on Hold on to your love
The art of playing games now Is not the hearts you break It's bound to good love you make When it's heart's on fire Give him love evryday Remember he needs space Be patient and he'll give his heart to you
chorus
Trust and honesty too Must be the golden rule You'll feel the strength of passion in your soul Burn so deeply within Ooh, the magic that you share So sacrifice and show how much you care
chorus
ad lib: Keep the ties Hang on tight And don't let go No, no, no, no If you need him Just keep on Just keep on hanging on Little trust, honesty, golden rules Feel the strength of passion in your soul It's burning so deep Have faith Just keep the fire burning at home Hey yea He'll come home to you He'll be there for you He'll want to have you
I wear tight clothing and high heel shoes That doesn't make me a prostitute I like rap music, wear hip hop clothes That doesn't mean that I'm sellin' dope
Oh my please forgive me for having straight hair It doesn't mean there's another blood in my heirs I might date another race or color Doesn't mean I don't like my strong black brothers
Free your mind and the rest will follow (Why oh why must it be this way) Be color blind don't be so shallow (Before you can read me you gotta learn how to see me)
So I'm a sista Buy things with cash That really doesn't mean that all my credit's bad
So why dispute me and waste my time Because you think that the price is too high for me I can't look without being watched You rang my buy before I made up my mind
Oh now attitude why even bother I can't change your mind, you can't change my color
Free your mind and the rest will follow (Why oh why must it be this way) Be color blind, don't be so shallow (Before you can read me, you gotta learn to see me
I'm so glad to see you Now I have the chance to say Our love's been growing freely What must I do to make you stay
Don't go
I feel the time is right 'Cause my love for you has grown Up until this very night I had doubts your love was strong enough To break me down Now I'm caught up in this web You've spun for me tonight
Don't go
It takes a gifted man To release the love in me So far you're the only man Who has gone this far for me It feels it's out of my hands Can't think twice, it's much too right This may be my only chance
Don't go
I've been such a fool To have kept my love for you Could have lost your love searching for the truth Don't go nowhere You know I care Stay right here with me forever baby
Don't go
Let's make sweet love tonight I won't put up any fight Your wish is my command Lay me down upon my bed And make me feel the heat Of your body next to mine I just have one demand
Don't go
You send chills down my spine I surrendered all my love You captured all my life In just one night of ecstasy You brought me to my knees Your first bite was just to strong You left a scar on me
Don't go
I've been such a fool to have kept my love from you Could of lost your love searching for the truth
Don't go
I'm so glad to see you Now I have the chance to say Our love's been growing freely What must I do to make you stay
I remember how it used to be you never were this nice You can't fool me Now you talkin' Like you made a change The more you talk The more things sound the same
What makes you think You can just walk back Into her life Without a good fight
I just sit back And watch you make a fool of yourself You're just wasting your time
Repeat chorus eight times:no, you're never gonna get it, never ever gonna get it, my lovin'
Now you promise me The moon and the stars Save your breath You won't get very far
Gave you many chances To make changes The only thing you changed Was love to hate
It doesn't matter what you do Or what you say She doesn't love you, no way
Maybe next time You'll give your woman a little respect Then you won't be hearing her say that-
Repeat chorus two times
Doesn't matter what you do Or what you say She doesn't love you, no way
Maybe next time You'll give your woman a little respect Then you won't be hearing her say that- Chorus
