Thomas McElroy

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

Don't go

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

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

fade

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-
