Luther Vandross

Roll back the rug everybody
Move all the tables and chairs
We're gonna have us a good time tonight
Everytime that we meet
We skip and we dip to the beat, Yeah Yeah
What in the world could be better
Than getting together

The last time we had a party
It ended when the sun came up
That's why your mama told you
That you couldn't go out
Stay in the house

<i>[Chorus:]</i>
Bad boy
He's gonna sneak out tonight
He's gonna tip by her window
'Cause he sure wants to get out and dance
Everyone's here, let 'em all in
The chandelier downstairs has fallen
I know it's hard to resist
This is the party no one wanted to miss
But if you don't get home on the double, boy
You're going to be in trouble
I hope your mama don't look in your room
'Cause if she does she'll be here soon

Boy, she's gonna be mad
You're a bad boy and you've got it bad boy
Boy, say goodbye to your friends
'Cause it's gonna be a while til you see them again

<i>[Chorus]</i>

Everybody's swingin'
Dancin' to the music
On the radio
Having a party
Everybody's swingin'
Dancin' to the music
On the radio
You can't go

<i>[Chorus]</i>

Lately I toss and turn at night
I hold my pillow very tight
Wake up to find the covers on the floor'
I can't go on since you been gone
Sometimes I don't know what I'm living for

See I don't know what he told you 'bout the better life
His better cars and how he can treat you better
But none of that will keep you warm at night
He'll give you more
But who could have a better love

Better love
A better love
A better, better love
Who could love you better

There is no reason
Honey, you should ever worry what I'm doing
While you're gone I'm being true to you
My fire burns for your return
And I'll just dream of you until you do

See I never could replace your love with anyone's
I do believe it's easier said than done
No matter whose promises you dream of
Go search the world
You couldn't find a better love

I sing this song To remind myself that There was a time when I Didn't have no one Didn't have no love Do you remember The love that we once had Well, if I had the chance to love you again I would make your heart forget I was ever bad If we forgive the past I know this time love wold last Forever, for always, for love I'm not coming home anymore Does it matter? Well, if I had the chance to hold you again I would fill your heart with joy And make you know that I'm the only one for you Let's throw the bad memories out And make this the first day of our Forever, for always, for love I'd be a fool to ever change If she said she loves the way I, I am I'd be a fool to ever change If she said she loves the way I am It's gonna be starting here, starting now Yeah Yeah Yeah Forever, for always, for love Do it for the ones we love And let no one Forever, for always for love In love Can't help myself Comes from my heart

One day I was cryin'
'Cause I thought that
Love was something that would
Never come my way, no way

That's when somebody told me
Not to worry
They said love would surely one day be my friend
And I would never have to be without it again
And it's because

Once you know how
You just never forget how to
It may seem kinda crazy
But it's a sho-nuff thing
Been tested and found true
Once you know how
You just never forget
How to love

I'm in love
Yes, I am, at last
I can love
Yeah

I can only speak for
The things that I've been through
So when it comes to our love
I'll talk the whole night through
About the love I've been missin'
Lately, baby I ain't had no kissin'
Don't you love me
Can't we stay together

Like when we used to be in love
But now you've got your head on another cloud
Girl, we had a good thing
But now you've turned around
Don't you care how this love we've had turns out

Promise me you'll leave me never
And that we'll be in love forever
Promise me you'll leave me never
And that we'll be in love forever

We can work at our love
And make it all brand-new
If we stay together
There's nothing we can't do
Improve the lovin' is what I'm seeing
Let's do it baby
Don't fight the feeling
Won't you love me
Can't we stay together

I had a lover
Who did not love me back
I did everything that a guy could do
I couldn't do more than that
I felt so helpless
I thought things would never change
Then I saw my girl
walking down on the avenue one day
I said, "I wanna talk to you"

I wasn't afraid to cry
Emotion was in my eyes
She took me on a natural high
When I said, "I love you girl of mine"
And then she said, "I love you back"
She loves me back

I had a lover
Who did not love me back
I bought her candy canes and dolls and flowers
And I took her to Coney Island
Now, who could do more than that?
It was a problem
Until on that fateful day
I saw my girl walking down on the avenue
She said, "I wanna talk to you"

She wasn't afraid to cry
Emotion was in her eyes
She took me on a natural high
I said, "I love you girl of mine"
And then she said, "I love you back"
She loves me back

I don't think our love's gonna lose
There ain't no way
I'm taking my time to convince her
That love's here to stay, hey
Love is here to stay because
She loves me back

We weren't afraid to cry
Emotion was in our eyes
She took me on a natural high
I said, "I love you girl of mine"
And then she said, "I love you back"
She loves me back

Sun a-shining, there's plenty of life. . .
a new day is dawning sunny and bright.
But after I've been crying all night the sun is cold
and the new day seems old.
Since I lost my baby, since I lost my baby.

Birds are singing and the children are playing,
there's plenty of work and the bosses are paying.
Not a sad word should my young heart be saying,
but fun is a bore and with money I'm poor.
Since I lost my baby, since I lost my baby.

Next time I'll be kinder, won't you please help me find her?
Someone just remind her 'bout this love she left behind her.
'Til I find her I'll be tryin' now, ev'ry day I'm more inclined to find her,
inclined to find her, inclined to find my baby.
Been a-looking ev'rywhere, baby, I really, really care.

Oh, determination is fading fast. . . Inspiration is a thing of the past. . .
Can't see my hope's gonna last. . .
good things are bad and what's happy is sad.
Since I lost my baby, since I lost my baby.
I feel so bad, oo, I'll feel so sad, everything is a-wrong,
I feel so bad, oo, I'll feel so sad, everything is a-wrong,

The world's sweetest lady
Live around my way
And I think that I'm in love
Hey there sweet one
You don't know what you've done
I was once so lonely
Now I only think of love, of love sweet love
And you're the sweetest one

[Chorus I:]
(The sweetest one) I've ever known
(Sugar and honey) You're the one
(You are the one) The sweetest love
(The sweetest one and only)

Said I'm in love forever
With the sweetest lady
And I know she love me too

Hey there sweetness
Girl, believe me you're the best
You are quite amazing
I'll forever stay in love, in love sweet love
'Cause you're the sweetest one

[Chorus II:]
(The sweetest one) I have known
(I've ever known) Everyone
(Everyone) Says it's love
(Says we belong together) Yeah
(The sweetest one) The sweetest love
(Sugar and honey) You're the one
(You are the one) And I'm in love
(The sweetest one and only) Yeah

Hey there sweetie pie
People never ask me why
'Cause it's so easy to see
Why I'm so sweetly in love, in love sweet love
And you're the sweetest one

I'm so downhearted 'cause what had started
Out to be love has now dearly departed
There's no reason for you to be leaving
I wish you would stay but you're a...

Busy body
Giving all your lovin' to just anybody
A Busy body
Holding, kissing, loving, hugging anybody

If it would have lasted it would have been fantastic
But when the morning came you were gone
All your one night standin' must take a lot of plannin'
But I don't think you'll last for very long
'Cause you've got a...

All I ever
Wanted to do was love you, baby
Gotta believe me
I'm hopelessly into you

I can hear love calling
And I can't believe I'm falling
For somebody
Who'll never be all mine
I've got to stop the fire
I can't let it get no higher
But, I'm so afraid I'm running out of time
'Cause you've got a...

Busy body
Giving all your lovin' to just anybody
A Busy body
Holding, kissing, loving, hugging anybody

What's your name?
Girl what's your number?
I think I fell in love the first time I ever saw you
And I couldn't get you off my mind
You reminded me of candy
So you be my Mary Jane
And I'll be your Sugar Daddy
And we can make sweet love all the time

I'd travel to the farthest star
(For the sweetness of your lovin')
'Cause sweeter than the sugar in a candy bar
(Is the sweetness of your love)
My rocket would only stop
(For the sweetness of your lovin')
And all I ever think about
(Is the sweetness of your love)

If you call for it, I'll deliver
I'll bring you anything
So fast it'll make you shiver
Whatever it is, from A to Z
Hey, let me prove that I can love you
I'll do a dance for you
Anything that I can to get a chance to love you
Of whomever you dream, I wanna be

I'd take my money out the bank
(For the sweetness of your love)
I'd buy you a great big diamond ring
(For the sweetness of your love)
'Cause Ooo baby, I'd do anything
(For the sweetness of your lovin')

I'd go ten rounds with Sugar Ray
(For the sweetness of your love)
And I'd eat my Wheaties everyday
(For the sweetness of your love)
BANG! ZOOM! And he would fly away
(For the sweetness of your lovin')

You could be lost in danger with a stranger
Caught up in mystery
A one night insanity, girl
And quite an emotional tragedy it would be
Then I'd come running just to save you
I'd be your hero guy
In a flash, in a minute I'd be there in no time
And you'd be forever loving me

HOW MANY TIMES CAN WE SAY GOODBYE
Steven Goldman
(album: BUSY BODY - 1983)


Duet with Dionne Warwick

Here we are so close to the end now
Still holding on we try and pretend now
Clinging to love we both know is dying
We've tried and tried to find us a way out
But darling our dreams have now all been played out
Still we go on hopelessly trying

Chorus:
But how many times can we say goodbye
Hos many times can we see love die
How many times can we give it one more try
Before we really say goodbye

We're so in love but wrong for each other
Each hurt that heals brings on another


Both of us used and both of us using
Darling it's time that we stop pretending
There's just no way to rewrite our ending
We're caught in this game
And we know we're both losing

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
How many times can we break up and make up
Both of our hearts refusing to wake up
Just can't go on and on living a lie
Though I'll always love you

Repeat Chorus and Fade

All of the band was on time for rehearsal
And played everything just right
Then came the news telling me not to worry
The show is selling out tonight
Well, the lights went on and suddenly the crowd began to scream
And as you could well imagine, it was like living a dream
Oh, but when the lights went down and the standing "O" was done
I was just another lonely guy who didn't have no one

I wanted your love
Your love, your love, love, love, love, love

So busy daydreaming 'bout you baby
I didn't even hear the phone
Then when my friends rang the doorbell it scared me
They said, "we're so glad you're home!
You just won a million dollars and a trip around the world?
Better get yourself and forget about that girl
They thought I was acting crazy not to get excited too
But all the money in the world could never take the place of you

All over the city the lights were so pretty
The holiday was filled with cheer
The stars really glistened and lovers were kissin'
It was the special part of the year
So what a perfect time it was to find someone to say "I do"
Thought that I could still be happy even though she wasn't you
We had told the world we were going to ring the wedding bell
But when I really thought about it, I was really lying to myself

Back to back and side to side
There's only music on my mind
Nothing to worry about but the beat
I wanted you to come and dance with me
But you wanted to stay home and watch TV
Ahhh, but when I got there to my surprise
There was another guy looking in your eyes

I don't want, don't want us to fuss and fight
From right now 'til tomorrow night
So if you promise to love only me and be by my side
I'll let you slide

Without a doubt tonight is the night
That we gon' really roll when the time is right
And we're gonna carry it into the dawn
Oh, but where are you, where can you be?
I've been waiting, it seems an eternity
I took our favorite song from the record stack
It was "Hey, Jimmy Mack"
When are you coming back?

Well I'm so disappointed you're gone tonight
'Cause your love is the spice of my life
But if you hurry back in the mornin'
Then, alright, I'll let you slide tonight
Up and down, pacing around, walking in my sleep
'Cause you've got a promise to keep
You've got to come back
And love, love, love, love me right
And, huh, I'll let you slide tonight

I can't wait till tomorrow, baby
Can't you come over tonight?
I can't get to sleep my baby
Come and rock my cradle left to right
I tossed and turned and called you up
But there wasn't anybody home
It makes me sad, I need you bad
But I guess I'm just gonna have to wait until tomorrow comes
Slide, I knew it, I knew it.
How could you do it?
Slide, it's alright, I'll let you slide tonight
I'll let you slide
Oh, how could you do it, how could you do it?
Slide, it's alright, I'll let you slide tonight

I hired me a private eye
To check up on your cool little alibis
And what he discovered was woeful to me
Baby, if you intend to stay with me
Then you can't see the guys I know you see
Come on, let's make up and promise to start anew
Let's take the morning off, I've got some plans for you

Making love by the moon can be mighty fine
But when the sun rises, so do I
So if you rock it to me in the morning
Then alright, I'll let you slide tonight
Really missed you today, I was on the run
So wake me up when the morning comes
I think I'll dance to some music and groove on the party lights
And let you slide tonight

Get up, oooh, let's love baby
Be my sugar and spice in the mornin'
And alright, I'll let you slide tonight

Get up, oooh, let's love baby
It's really nice in the mornin'
And alright, I'll let you slide tonight

Superman can fly high way up in the sky
'Cause we believe he can
So what we choose to believe can always work out fine
It's all in the mind
So think of a place and imagine a time
And let's go be lovers

Believing me, Ooo Wee baby
Is believing right-oh yeah, and

I wanna love, wanna have, wanna hold you girl
So make me a believer
Wanna love you girl

Ooo so near
And forever keep you here
Forget all about whatever we fear
And let's just be lovers
Loving and loving, oh love is the way
To make me stay

I know the way to persuade me over to your side
And I am sure you can
So if you get me to believe
It all will work out fine
'Cause you'll blow my mind
So let's pick a place, a day, and a time
And then we'll be lovers
Loving and loving, oh love is the way
To make me stay

I wanna tell you, baby
The changes I've been goin' through
Missin' you, missin' you, oh...oh...
Till you come back to me
I don't know what I'm gonna do
N-n-n-no, n-n-no

Don't you remember you told me you loved me, baby
You said you'd be comin' back this way again, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, oh, baby
I love you
Yeah...I really do

Long ago
And oh, so far away
I fell in love with you
Before the second show

And your guitar
And you sound so sweet and clear
But you're not really here
It's just the radio

Don't you remember you told me you loved me, baby
You said you'd be comin' back this way again, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh, baby, yeah
I love you
I really do

(To belong) Yeah...hey...eah...yeah...hey...hey
(To belong) Whoa...ho...oh...whoa...ho...ho...
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah

You looked for me to be yours
You want my love, but you're on the road
Don't you remember me anymore

Loneliness
Is such a sad affair
A sad affair
And I can hardly wait
To be with you again

And what to say, to say
To make you come again
Oh, honey
Come on back to me again, yeah, hey
I wanna be, I wanna be anywhere you are

Don't you remember you told me you loved me, baby
You said you'd be comin' back this way again, baby
Baby, baby, baby, woo, baby, oh, baby
Yes, I love you
I really do

Yeah, hey...
Yeah, yeah...eah...yeah...ooh...
Play it easy, play it easy
Keep it right there, keep it right there, keep it right there
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
What are you gonna say
It's alright, it's alright
Ooh, baby, it's alright, it's alright
Alright now
Keep it right there, keep it right there
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
It's alright, it's alright
Ooh, baby, it's alright, it's alright
Say it's alright, it's alright
Say, ooh, baby, it's alright, it's alright
Alright now
Eah...
L-l-l-l-love
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Eah...ooh...ooh...yeah...hea...
Say it's alright, it's alright
Ooh, baby, it's alright, it's alright
Alright now
Alright now
I used to be sad
But now it's alright, it's alright
Ooh, baby, it's alright, it's alright
Alright now
I wonder, I wonder
Where are you again tonight
Are you holdin' someone else real tight
I wonder, I wonder, I wonder

I can hear you sighin'
Sayin' you'll stay beside me
Why must it be that you always creep into my dreams

On the beach we're sitting, huggin' squeezin', kissin'
Why must it be that you always creep into my dreams

When I'm sleep at night, baby
I feel those moments of ectasy
When you sleep at night, baby
I wonder do I creep into your dreams
Or could it be I sleep alone in my fantasy
Oh love is so amazing (Oh oh oh oh)
Guess you will be stayin'
So let it be that you always creep into my dreams

<i>[Fade]</i>

LET ME HOLD YOU TIGHT
IF ONLY FOR ONE NIGHT
LET ME KEEP YOU NEAR
TO EASE AWAY YOUR FEAR
IT WOULD BE SO NICE
IF ONLY FOR ONE NIGHT
I WON'T TELL A SOUL
NO ONE HAS TO KNOW
IF YOU WANT TO BE TOTALLY DISCREET
I'LL BE AT YOUR SIDE
IF ONLY FOR ONE NIGHT
YOUR EYES SAY THINGS I NEVER HEAR FROM YOU
AND MY KNEES ARE SHAKIN TOO
BUT I'M WILLIN TO GO THRU
I MUST BE CRAZY
STANDIN IN THIS PLACE
BUT I'M FEELING NO DISGRACE
FOR ASKING......
LET ME HOLD YOU TIGHT
IF ONLY FOR ONE NIGHT
LET ME KEEP YOU NEAR
TO EASE AWAY YOUR FEAR
IT WOULD BE SO NICE
IF ONLY FOR ONE NIGHT
I TELL YOU WHAT I NEED IS
ONE NIGHT, ONE NIGHT OH (AND OH, OH)
WHAT I NEED IS
ONE NIGHT, ONE NIGHT
OF YOUR LOVE, OF YOU LOVE, OF YOUR LOVIN OOH
I'M ASKING...
LET ME TAKE YOU HOME
TO KEEP YOU SAFE AND WARM
TILL THE EARLY DAWN
WARMS UP TO THE SUN
IT WOULD BE SO NICE IF ONLY FOR ONE NIGHT
IF ONLY FOR ONE NIGHT
IF ONLY FOR ONE NIGHT
iF ONLY FOR ONE NIGHT, NIGHT, NIGHT, YEAH ONE NIGHT
IF ONLY FOR ONE.........NIGHT

Something's goin' on, it's the middle of the night
And my "esp" woke me up

I know what's going on girl, you ain't been treating me right
And your sweet talking ain't enough
I know you're messing with at least two other guys
You fooled me a long time but the kid is gettin' wise

Don't hug me, don't kiss me, don't "love me down"
Excuse me, but you see this love affair is?

Over now
(You did me bad)
Over now
It's over now
(You treated me so bad)
Over now
(It's all over baby)

I didn't know it when I walked into the house
But you were on the telephone
That's when I heard you tell him to come over tonight
Said you were gonna be alone

I heard you mention that I had some place to go
You helped me pack my things, but it's you whose got to go

You're busted! You must have fooled me for a while
But honey, as they say "Hit the road!" It's all?

You can go now, keep your voice down
There's no need to fuss and shout
Use the back door, I don't want no
Nosy neighbors to see you checkin' out

"Get out!"

Bye baby, so long, it's been "Oh wow!"
If you really loved me I wouldn't say it's?

At times I don't believe that I can't control my heart
It skips a beat even before the Lovin' starts
I seem to fall in love
with just the slighest touch
and even the little things
begin to mean so much
And though I should hold out longer
Just to make sure things get stronger

Chorus:
You tell me that you love me
And before I'm sure you really do
You say you love me more and more each day
And that's when my sensitivity gets in the way

It's hard for me to play those fancy games of love


Just say the right thing baby and it's automatic love
I try not to let you know
How easily I go
Off into lovers' land
Just when you touch my hand
And though I should wait to see
How things are gonna really be

Repeat Chorus

I had known you for quite sometime
But the thought of love never crossed my mind
It seemed to be on the other side of the world
To many times had I loved
And not cared at all about love
Just to have something to do
Then I saw a different you
And ooohh...

Hey, I keep going over and over it again in my mind
I get these flashbacks and uh I feel so good, yeah
And this is one night that I'll never forget
You see it was just like in the movies I mean it actually happened
Just like this

Yeah, the stars were shining
Brighter than most of the time
Then love came out of nowhere, yeah
No thrill will ever be like
(The night that I fell in love)

I tenderly remember
(The night that I fell in love)
It surely was the best thing I ever did that night
(That night when I fell in love)
The stars were in your eyes
(The night that I fell in love)
With you, hey

Ooh, I've known so many people
Been to most parts of the world
And seen some things that have blown my mind
Yes I have but nothing will ever be like
(The night that I fell in love)

I tenderly remember
(The night that I fell in love)
It surely was the best thing to happen to my life
(That night when I fell in love)
The star's light were in your eyes
(The night that I fell in love)
With you, hey

Oh, yes
Oh baby what else
At night

Ooh yeah, I thought I could be happy
Without any love in my world
But now I know that, that is so untrue, yeah
No thrill will ever be like
(The night that I fell in love)

I tenderly remember
(The night that I fell in love)
Yeah, it surely was the best thing to happen my life
(That night when I fell in love)
The star's light were in your eyes
(The night that I fell in love)
With you, hey

All I can ever do is think about that night
That night, that night
All I can ever do is think about that night
That night

All I can ever do is think about that night
That night, that night
All I can ever do is think about that night
That night, that night
All I can ever do is think about that night

Wait for love Knowing Love the way that I do I can say for certain that it's true there's a chance for me and you I surely feel that the time is near the picture in my mind is very clear I think love has brought us here I remember not so long ago I was just a lonely person with a lonely heart and I was hoping there could one day be be a chance for me to get the love that I'd been missing sometimes love takes a long time but wait for love and your gonna get the chance to love wait for love wait for love oh my When you take the chance on love you'll feel it's not a waste of time if you truly believe the impossible can be so hold on tight if you think your right nothing hurts as bad as when you see you gave up too easily now I remember spending all my time that a dream that kept me wishing that you could be mine and I was hoping there could one day be be a chance for me to get the love that I've been wishing sometimes love takes a long time but wait for love and your gonna get the chance to love wait for love wait for love oh my I never stop believing there could one day be a chance for me to get the love that I'd been missing sometimes love takes a long time but wait for love and your gonna get the chance to love wait for love wait for love oh my repeat 4x and fades

Theres a whole lot of girls

They cant believe I resist

I dont worry cause I love you baby so, That...
No matter where my baby is

She gives it up till I get enough

Til my baby comes home

she calls me on the phone
I jump up when I hear her voice
then Im alright
Til my baby comes home
I get weak in the knees

head gets to achin
is she thinkin of me
or feelin the fire
with some other guy, yeah
I cant believe I can be
worried about her
I shouldnt doubt her

Bring it on
Home to me
She makes everything alright, shes
good to me
Shes the best part of my life

That Im just like a new guy, Im doing
very well
cause I know shes coming back tonight
Every night when I sleep
I dream of my baby
shes such a lady
then I wake up and see
that shes laying by me
right there beside me
I cant explain how I fell
I really love her, keep dreaming of her
cause our love is for real
and I dont worry
cause I know, I know, I know
(MillerVandross)

I speak to myself sometimes
and I say Oh my
In a lot of ways
you're a lucky guy
Now all you need
is a chance to try
Any love

In my heart
there's a need to shout
Dying screaming crying
let me out
Are all those feelings
that want to touch
Any love

What a world for the lonely guy
Sometimes I feel
I'm gonna lose my mind
my mind
Can anybody tell me
just where to find
Any love any love
Everyone needs a love no doubt
Any love Any love
Everybody feels alone without
Any love any love
I know there's a love waiting
To enter my life enter my life
Every day as I live
I try to think positive
I pray for
someone good to come
Any love

Love is sweet and so divine
And I can't wait
for my love life to shine
to shine
Can anybody tell me
where I can find
Any love any love
Everyone needs a love no doubt
Any love Any love
Everybody feels alone without
Any love any love
I know there's
someone waiting for me
To enter my life
Come into my life
Suddenly I'm up
in clear blue skies
Lonely tears start to
fill my eyes
I can weep
but I refuse to cry
I've got to keep holding on
I've got to think love is strong
To keep holding on
Everyone needs a love no doubt
Any love Any love
Everybody feels alone without
Any love any love
And I know I know I know I know
she'll come into my life

Everyone needs a love no doubt
Any love Any love
Everybody feels alone without
Any love any love

she'll come into my life
into my life into my life
Everyone needs a love no doubt
Any love Any love
Everybody feels alone without
Any love any love

Anywhere you say to be
From the sky down to the ground
If I hear you calling me
I will never let you down
What if I were far away
Would the love fire still burn
I want to know if you would be
Still in love when I return

Are you gonna love me
I'm who I should be when you're loving me
Are you gonna love me
And give this love a chance ...would we dance

I know the way you feel
I shouldn't worry 'bout the future now
It just gets in the way
Don't want to make you sad
Just want to know you're gonna love me
When it's not a sunny day

Are you gonna love me
When the skies are grey and I'm far away
Are you gonna love me
If I have to go ...do you know

Interlude:
It's all about (You and me, you and me)
Will you wait for me
(It's all about love, love, love)
About your love

You were feeling kind of blue
When the job took me away
The reason that I'm calling you is
I'll be coming back today

Are you gonna love me
Girl, it's been so long
Is the feeling gone
Are you gonna love me
That's what I'm asking you
Whatcha gonna do

Repeat Interlude

Are you gonna love me
(Are you gonna love me, baby) (Love me)
(Love me now) (ah Love me) (Love me)
Will you wait for me

(Are you gonna love me, baby) (Love me)
(Love me now) (ah Love me) (Love me)
Are you gonna love me

(Are you gonna love me, baby) (Love me)
(Love me now) (ah Love me) (Love me)
Will you wait for me

(Are you gonna love me, baby) (Love me)
(Love me now) (ah Love me) (Love me)
Are you gonna love me

(Are you gonna love me, baby) (Love me)
(Love me now) (ah Love me) (Love me)
Will you wait for me

(Are you gonna love me, baby) (Love me)
(Love me now) (ah Love me) (Love me)
Are you gonna love me, love me

(Are you gonna love me, baby) (Love me)
(Love me now) (ah Love me) (Love me)
Love me baby, love me baby
Love me baby, love me baby

Fade

My heart and soul
And body too
Keep missin' you
What am I to do
The day's so long
And the night's so rough
;Cause it seems like I
Can't forget your love
It feels just like
I'm gonna fall apart
And I don't know how
I can make it now ...so

Come back
You've been gone too long
You're on my mind
And it's hard to carry on
Come back
You've been away too long
My heart is weak
From being strong

I thought my sad face
Would make you stay
And it took me out
When you left that day
I sit and stare
But no one's there
In the room outside
That we used to share
When you're not here
It's a quiet place
It's a lonely house
Just an empty space ...you gotta

Come back
You've been gone too long
You're all I need
And it's hard to carry on
Come back
You been away too long
My heart is weak
From being strong
Come back
You've been gone so long
I love you so
And I betcha I can show you
Come back
I got a love so strong
I'm missin' you, my baby
Ooh

I need you back now
You gotta come back, gotta come back
And I want you love
Please come back, please come back
I need you back right now
You gotta come back, gotta come back
And I want your love, my baby

It's the middle of the night
And I can't sleep at all, I'm so uptight
Tossin' and turnin' is how I've spent the time
I've got so much on my mind hey

Something's got a hold on me
I think it's love, don't you agree?
It's got to be, I don't feel better
I know what I've got to do
I've got to get next to you

So I came here
(For you to love)
In the pouring rain
(For you to love)
And I know I'm ready
(For you to love)
I'll be the best I can
(Honey, for you to love)
Cause honey it's you I love
Love, love yeah

I start to wonder what is true?
And I get so confused
(What should I do?)
You make me worry
When you say you understand
But that I can't be your man

Something's gotta change your mind
Now, if I get my love to you in time
(Then you'll be mine)
Ooh, I've got to get over
Yes, that's what I've gotta do
Look out 'cause I'm after you

I came here
(For you to love)
In a hurricane
(For you to love)
Just to be ready
(For you to love)
I'll be the kind of man
(Honey, for you to love)
Cause honey it's you I love
Love love love yeah
Cause honey it's you I love yeah

I wanted to see you
I wanted to make your day
I got myself ready
To hear the words you would say
Cause sometimes you talk to me so emotionally
But then, you pull it back, baby
Just let yourself love me

I came here
(For you to love)
I took a train, my dear
(For you to love)
So, you know I'm ready
(For you to love)
I never doubt, never fear
(Honey, for you to love)
Cause oh honey it's you I love
Cause oh honey it's you I love
Love, love, yeah

For you to love
For you to love
For you to love

If only i could read your mind
I could heal your broken heart
I could mend you when your falling apart

I wanna love you
I wanna care
But there's not a thing that i can do
Not until you say that you want me there
And that you want me to love you forever
I know it's what you want
Though it's easy to say that you don't

[Chorus:]
I know you want to
Girl i know you want to
I am not ashamed to say to you
(you're all i ever wanted)
I know you want to
Girl, i know you want to
So turn around
Come to me now
Is it worth it all if there's no love

No.no no no no love................

I hear your heartbeat
I feel you shiver
And in the stilness of the night
(i can hear the angels saying to me)
She wants to love you
She wants to care
But she's so afarid of a broken heart
(she's afraid to dall0
Will someone be there

We'll i'll pick you up and put you together
I know it;s what you want
Though you constanly say that you don't

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
Do you spend every moment
Trying to hide out
From the way you know you truly feel
And is it really real....you know
How can you keep denying
That you really love me
You can try to fool somebody else
But your lying to yourself

[Chorus]

No love
No love doo doo do doo
Yeah..........................................................

I stood in line at the corner store
And I heard these guys talk about this girl
Hey, who gives them love anytime they want, huh
Then they said your name and how you carry on

Your chain of fools is so long
I thought our love was still on
And so, oh what a fool I've been
I thought I was your man and oh

I wonder who's there loving you
No one does you the way I do
I wonder who, who's there loving you
And I really wonder who
(It's been so long)

Since you've called me, yeah
(I thought our love was strong)
Just the way a love should be
(And now that you're gone)
I sit here and I wonder

I've seen so many guys
Take one look into your eyes
And think they're in paradise

There was less than love in the things that woman said
Now, I wonder who put ideas in her head
I'm still in shock 'cause when I went back there again
She'd changed her lock and said, sorry you can't come in
What a fool I've been lookout, I thought I was your man and

I wonder who's there loving you
No one does you the way I do
I wonder who, who's there loving you
And I really wonder who
(It's been so long)

Since you've called me, yeah
(I thought our love was strong)
Just the way a love should be
(And now that you've gone)
I sit here and wonder

I've seen so many guys
Take that look into your eyes
And think they're in paradise

I wonder who's there loving you
No one does you the way I do
I wonder who, who's there loving you
And I really wonder who
(It's been so long)

Since you've called me, yeah
(I thought our love was strong)
Just the way a love should be
(And now that you've gone)
I sit here and wonder

I don't wanna be in love if you don't love me
And I love you so, I betcha that you don't know
And I wonder who, I wonder, I wonder

And I wonder who that you got loving you
And I wonder why you're with some other guy
And I wonder who, I wonder, I wonder

Don't wanna be a fool for no one, you see
And I want you so, I bet you don't even know
And I wonder who, I wonder, I wonder

I need to have you next to me in more ways than one
And I refuse to leave till I see the mornin' sun

The time is right, you hold me tight
And love's got me high
Please tell me, 'Yes' and don't say, 'No'
Honey, not tonight

Move a little close to me, you owe it to yourself
And I will selfishly take a little for myself
And it's because of you
That love won't let me wait

Yeah, yeah

The time is right, turn down the lights
And take my hand, ooh, ooh, yeah
We'll take a flight and spend the night
In Wonderland

And I need to have you next to me in more ways than one
And I refuse to leave till I see the mornin' sun
Creep through your window pane
Because love won't let me wait
Not another minute

Ooh...ooh...ooh...yeah...yeah...

And I need your love so desperately and only you can set me free
When I make to you, we'll explode in ecstasy
And I won't take the blame
That love won't let me wait

Love won't, no, no, no
Love won't, no, no, no
No, no, no, no
(Love won't let me wait)

Yeah...yeah...
Love won't
I said
(Love won't let me wait)

My baby
My temperature's risin', ooh
(Love won't let me wait) Won't let me

Not another minute
(Love won't let me wait) Won't let me

Baby, baby
(I can't wait) I can't wait (I can't wait) I can't wait, I can't wait (I can't wait)
I can't wait, no, no, no, can't wait
(Wait) No way, no way, no, no, no, no
No way, no way, no, no
(Doo...ooh...) Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...yeah
(Wait) I cant wait not another minute
Not another minute

I was hanging with some friends of mine
We were all having a real good time, yeah
I saw a girl who was so very fine
I started waving my hands, my arms, my head

Got the nerve; found the words to say
But to my surprise she was passing
I mean it was strange `cause she just walked away
She won`t talk to me, she won`t talk to me

Now you`re nervous with the fever
Body beat and never quit
I`m in heaven when I see her
Won`t you talk some little things?
Hope she talk to me

I can`t hear (What cha gonna do?)
You can`t sit down like no one all by yourself
(I just wanna talk to you) And nobody else, yeah

I just wanna tell her
She`s the girl of my fantasies
How we meet in my dreams every night it seems
And how love can be, I wanna (love you)
I`m gonna be (your love)

It`s not everyday we see the one
That your heart`s been likely dreaming of
There`s that look in her eyes, so I don`t know why
She won`t talk to me, she won`t talk to me

She pretends she doesn`t see me
Leaves me standing in the rain
`Cuz I know she wants to meet me
She`s just playing silly games

I said girl (What cha gonna do?)
Wanna show you a love that you just gotta see
(I just wanna talk to you) But she won`t talk to me

And ooh, I`m telling everyone
I`m not dreaming anymore
`Cause I know she won`t talk to me now
And at least she can`t say no

And I`m going crazy
Trying to make her notice me
I go up, I get down, I turn all around
She won`t talk to me, she won`t talk to me

I said (Hey there baby)
I said (Hey there girl)
I said (Hey there baby)
She won`t talk to me
She won`t talk to me
[repeat to fade]

Love is lovelier
The second time around
Just as wonderful with both feet on the ground
It's that second time you hear your love song sung
Makes you think, perhaps, that love like youth
Is wasted on the young
Love's more comfortable
The second time you fall
Like a friendly home, the second time you call
Who can say, what led us to this miracle we've found?
There are those who'd bet
Love comes but once and yet
I'm oh so glad we met
The second time around
Who can say what led us to this miracle we've found?
There are those who'd bet
Love comes but once and yet
I'm oh so glad we met
The second time around
I'm so glad we met
The second time around

Luther Vandross - There's Only You

Ive been missing you and
I don't know what there is for me to do,
but hope and wish and pray
love will find it's way from me to you one day
and I would stay inside your world forever more

There's no place to hide. I could never run,
from what I feel inside.
Seems all I have is you, and I want to make
you love me deep and true.
And if you do, I want to learn to be a part of you

When there's no one to believe in
my fantasies run wild.
I make it easy on myself.
I just dream of how the world would be
If there were only you and me and no one else.

I could easily believe in love 'cause
you would never let me down.
You bring such happiness to me
and to prove how true my love would be,
I'd hold you very high, for the world to see.

I'll be missing you,
and I don't know what there is for me to do,
but I'll remember you.
It seems I'm in the world alone with only you.
For me to love, and to be loved
There's only you
There is only you

Love, what have you done
Oh wow
I was sure up til now that she was a friend
I stayed til the end
(Don't be a fool again)
I once believed that love was fair
But I don't anymore
She said i'm a bore
My heart hit the floor
(don't be a fool again)

Each time around I tell myself
It's the game of love
Ignore the signs and risk it all
In the name of love
Well i've decided i can't let nobody hurt me again
So I'll say it til the end
I just don't want to be a fool
(don't want to be a fool)
Said i don't want to be a fool ever again

Whenerver a fool's in love
He doesn't know he's to blame
He's caught in the game
It all ends up the same
H(he doesn't feel the shame)
He looks at love in a different way
It breaks his heart everytime
They all turn estranged
But he'll never change
(he's never going to change)

Next time around i'll tell myself
It'll be better than before
I won't look back
There'll be no one tearing my heart out anymore
I've just decided i can't let nobody fool me again
So i'll swear til the end
I just don't want to be a fool
(don't want to be a fool)
Said I don't want to be a fool
Ever again

(no way)
I mean no more
Never again
Ooh no never
Can't be
Noway
Noway, noway
Ooh, I don't want to be
I don't want to be a fool no

(i can't love anybody walking on a one way street
Anyway, anyway, anyway
If i don't find somebody
That'll be alright with me
I know, i know, it'll be alright now
'cause i decided not to let nobody hurt me again
So i'll

I think love should be heaven sent
I can't love you just to pay your rent

Heart to heart is the way it should be
You've got to love with devotion to emotion
Don't hold back, talk to me, let it go
Cry on my shoulder honey, don't you know that?

If it's going to be an
Emotional love
Then it's got to start with an
Emotional heart
No I can't deny I'm an
Emotional guy
So I search the world for the
Emotional girl

Happy to be the love of your life
Some guys want you for only one night

Can't explain all this love that I feel
Sometimes my mind is a ball of confusion
Love will fix it eventually
Don't tell your friends about it, come to me

One day I'll always remember
Was when you walked into my life
It was a very special night
When we danced so close, so tender
It gave my heart the second chance
That I'd been waiting for

But our love is falling
All kinds of pressure has temptation calling
It gives me fever
But no matter what, I ain't gonna leave you
I'm gonna stay till the last day
Worry no more, what is love for?
I hear love knocking honey
Come on, let's open the door

You know you've got me to love
I can tell you that
If you should ever need some love
You just call me back
I've been loving you from the start
Let me tell you that
And I'll keep loving you from my heart
Sure can tell you that
You've got so much to love

Every time that we kiss
I'm reminded it's you I miss
I just love when we love like this
I can tell you that
Please forgive me if I pout
But my world would turn inside out
If on leaving me you insist
Let me tell you that

I start to hold you but you pull back,
not much just a little
I can't control you
When you get so caught up in the middle
First you say yes, then you say no
Said you're gonna stay, now you're gonna go
You know I'll tell you honey
But I think you already know

I can tell you this
Anytime you go I really miss you
Nothing to do, tired of my friends
Won't you come back and love me again?
So I can tell you that
You've got me forever girl to love

I dream enough to know the way true love should feel
I'm strong enough to show you the heart can always heal
It shouldn't be so hard to let our love just live
It's really all we have; the love we need to give
I've been dreaming, I don't wanna be awake
I don't wanna see the day, I just want the night to stay

I want the night to stay
And last a little bit longer
So we can always be, in love you see
I want the night to stay
In your arms...

Tomorrow's gonna come and chase tonight away
And leave me sitting right here to cry the day away
I've been hoping that tomorrow won't rush in
I don't want to say goodbye, I don't want the night to end

Forever together
Forever together
Forever together
Forever and ever
In your arms...

I got up this morning
And without a word of warning
I knew for sure I had to change my way
Dusted my mind to clear it
My body and my spirit
But it's okay, I'm gonna start today, hey
Emotions disappearing
I call out but you're not here and
I question why I have this debt to pay
But I'll do my best believing
That I'll get that lovin' feeling
I mean to say, I'm gonna start today

Start today to turn this love around
I know for sure I'll never let you down baby 'cause
No longer do I think it's all in your mind
I get the point and I've got nothing but time
To be the way I know I really should be
And find a way for love to rescue me, ooh

I'm gonna start today
Working on loving you better
I'm gonna start today
Working on leaving you never
I'm gonna start today
So baby dry your tears away, it's okay
I'm gonna start today, hey yeah

Still dream of you returning
My pilot light is burning
I mention you every time that I pray
I sleep with one eye open
'Cause in my heart I'm hoping
You'll believe what I say
I'm gonna start today
And from this moment on
Even though you'll be gone
I'm gonna do everything that I say
I wanna be your best man
I'll let time do the rest
And I'll sweep you away
I'm gonna start today

I am here, but since your love is gone
The day's so lonely and the night's so long baby 'cause
I want that love I knew, no less no more
I want you back the way you loved me before
'Cause yesterday is how tomorrow should be
I'll start today if you will rescue me-Ooo

The night's so long, so long without you baby
And I can't stand it no more
Come here 'cause I want to prove my love for you baby
Come back this is where you belong

I'm gonna start today
Working on it, love has the power
I'm gonna start today
I'm working on it every, every, every hour
I'm gonna start today
So baby dry those tears away, it's okay
I'm gonna start today

Start today to turn this love around
I know for sure I'll never let you down baby 'cause
No longer do I think it's all in your mind
I get the point and I've got nothing but time
To be the way I know I really should be
And find a way for love to rescue me

Now I know how to make love real
You don't know how till you know how to feel
I've been picking up the pieces of my broken past
But it's okay, your baby's gonna start today

When I say goodbye it is never for long
'Cause I know our love still lives on
It will be again exactly like it was
'Cause I believe in the power of love

When you're close I can feel the power
When it's love I can always tell
Love for me is the best thing now
It's something that I know so well

Hold me closer and every minute
Of every hour, feel the power of love, yeah
Hold me tighter and take me higher
And feel the fire of the power of love

Did you know that your feelings show
You thought your love was locked up inside
But when your senses start to overload
Love is something you should never hide

You've got to believe in love
It's a feeling that's next to none
Can't stop until we are one
With the power of love

Tell everyone to try
I promise you'll reach the sky
One thing that we can't deny
Is the power of love

So close your eyes
and you can feel it
Comin' straight from above,
it's the power of love
You can't deny it,
so don't even try it
Let the feelin' sweep you off your feet

You've got to believe in love
It's a feeling that's next to none
Can't stop until we are one
With the power of love

Tell everyone you see
How much better the world could be
For them and for you, for me
With the power of love

When we walk down the street
We don't care who we see or who we meet
Don't need to run, don't need to hide
'Cause we've got something burning inside, yeah

We've got love (Love) power (Power)
It's the greatest power of them all
Oh, we've got love (Love) power (Power)
And together we can't fall, and all the good

(We've got love) Ooh, If we've got love
(Power)yes, we do
(It's the greatest power of them all, Yeah...)
(We've got love) Love me, love me, love
(Power)
(And together we can't fall, Yeah...)

We've got love (Love me, love me, love)
power And together we can't fall,
We've got love (We've got love)
Oh, it's the greatest power of them all

For love you pay the price
You give it up, you sacrifice
And if necessary you comprimise
Sometimes it's bitter sweet
You've got to try eight days a week
To create a good enough love to keep
You see hearts belong to fire
So does her love
She burns me up with desire

My girl's love is right on time
"Sweet" and "sweet and ever kind"
She's so fine
She doesn't, she doesn't
She don't mind
Even when I come home late at night
We don't fuss, we never fight
'Cause the girl loves me to the line
She doesn't, she doesn't
She don't mind

It was out of my hands
I did my best, please understand
I was late for one of our evening plans
Champagne, dinner for two
With candlelight, she set the mood
But there wasn't anything I could do

But, she is so forgiving
The one thing I know is
It's off her love I'm living

That girl's love is right on time
"Sweeter than sweet" and "ever kind"
She's so fine
She doesn't, she doesn't
She don't mind
Even when I come home late at night
We don't fuss, we never fight
'Cause the girl loves me to the line
She doesn't, she doesn't
She don't mind

When I go out to play
She doesn't mind if I'm a little bit late
She knows I think about her face
Till I get home
Till I get back home
What we gonna do tonight?
It's raining heavy and it's cold outside
So let's just love until we get things right
And waste a whole lotta time
I don't mind

I tell her things she can't repeat
Makes her little heart just skip a beat
She blush a little bit
And then I find
She doesn't, she doesn't
She don't mind

Even though our love is "C'est Si Bon"
Sometimes I like to be alone
Ring the girl on her private line
She doesn't, she doesn't
She don't mind

Go to work early, come back late
Outta my head, can't concentrate
Sometimes my love is a waste of time but
She doesn't, she doesn't
She don't mind

She's better even than she used to be
Loving her is no mystery
Sometimes I'm not so sweet and kind
She doesn't, she doesn't
She don't mind

When I call her in the middle of the day
She's busy at work, but it's okay
But not too busy to give me time
She doesn't, she doesn't
She don't mind

I am still your friend
Standing by to catch you
If ever life should let you down
And you should fall.
You don't need to pretend
If ever doubt should find you.
I don't need to remind you
I'm there for you before and after all.
I am who I am
And I would never fool you.
I feel the same way you do
About honesty.
But do we understand
How love is sometimes jaded?
It keeps us separated
Even though we'll never part.
Chorus:
So to be lovers
We've got to understand
Today is how today begins,
Tomorrow's how it ends.
And to be lovers
Some things we rise above.
'Cause sometimes love is wonderful
But sometimes it's only love.
Loving who I am
Is something that you've taught me.
The kind of love you've brought me
Takes me through the day.
And even though our minds
Are sometimes disagreeing
Our hearts they're still believing
We'll work it out and stay.
(Chorus)

Free, free, baby,
Boy, when you look at me,
Do you judge me by my cover?
Got to be kiddin' me, to think that I'm that kind of lover
I don't mean to disagree, sorry, you can't buy my kisses
Open your eyes and see,
True love comes for free

[Luther]
I'm keepin' my heart open, and hopin' you won't stab me in it
'Cause I've been in love before, and when I had to pay I didn't
I'll lose my sanity, tryin' to measure your intentions
What do you want from me?
How much will it be?

[Janet]
No more than you're willing to give
'Cause you won't pay nothin' for this good lovin', it's for free

[Luther]
And I won't make you promises,
I'll just do all I can to be your lover 'cause I understand

[Both on chorus]
The best things in life are free,
Now that I've discovered what you mean to me
The best things in life are free,
Now that we've got each other
The best things in life are free

[Janet]
Come on now,
Ooh, yeah

[Luther]
Alright, I like that,
Now, Janet

[Janet]
Ooh, Luther

[Both]
I know you are my baby, my one and only baby
You said it twice, I'll say it thrice my baby baby baby

[Janet]
I've got so much for you,
And it's easy to give it when I know you feel the same way too
[Luther]
That's all I expect from you,
Just do all that you can to be my lover 'cause I understand,
I do, (Janet: hoo) I do (Janet: hoo, hoo)
They say,

[Both on chorus]
The best things in life are free,
Now that I've discovered what you mean to me
The best things in li

She gets too hungry for dinner at eight
She likes the theater and never comes late
She never bothers with people she'd hate
That's why the lady is a tramp

Doesn't like crap games with barons or earls
Won't go to Harlem in ermine and pearls
Won't dish the dirt with the rest of the girls
That's why the lady is a tramp

She likes the free, fresh wind in her hair
Life without care
She's broke, and it's *"oke"*

Hates California, it's cold and it's damp
That's why the lady is a tramp

She gets too hungry to wait for dinner at eight
She loves the theater but never comes late
She'd never bother with people she'd hate
That's why the lady is a tramp

She'll have no crap games with sharpies and frauds
And she won't go to Harlem in Lincolns or Fords
And she won't dish the dirt with the rest of the broads
That's why the lady is a tramp

She'd love the free, fresh wind in her hair
Life without care
She's broke, but it's *"oke"*

Hates California, it's so cold and so damp
That's why the lady
That's why the lady
That's why the lady is a tramp

NOTE: *"oke"* Is a literal pronunciation of "OK".

Ready or not
You're gonna get a taste of love
Just like you want it to
Your wish is gonna come to you

So, if you've got a change of heart
Stop that before you start
None of this holding back
I thought you knew that

You can't be doin' that now
Stop it right away
You can't be doin' that now
'Cause I need a little kindness
A little, a little tenderness
A little love somehow

Other loves you've had
Are just a thing of the past
All a part of yesterday
Forever and far away

But, never will I disappear
My love is gonna stay right here
So, none of this pulling back
I thought you knew that

What's it about, my love, my love
What's on your mind, now baby love
Answer my call, I'm callin'
Don't stop now that I've fallen

Don't let a good thing get away
We've got forever and a day
To make the whole thing better
That's why I'm gonna leave you never

Tears on your pillow, that's evidence
Crying all night, it don't make no sense
Never know what to do, so the tears come out
I used to wonder what this thing was about

You're so sensitive
So willing to give
Girl, you're just a cutie, yeah, yeah
But, everything hits your tender spot
I think I see just what you've got

Emotion eyes see what they wanna see
They just won't let it be
There's always something goin' on
Emotion eyes, can't seem to be without
Something to cry about
They just get so emotional

My, oh, mercy me, just what do you see?
Nothing stops those tears from coming
What's the matter chile, don't you ever smile?
Watching you is really something

You don't need to struggle with your badness
'Cause you're the baddest girl there'll ever be
You've got to learn to compromise
You've got to dry your weeping eyes
Watch what you see with those

You don't need to struggle with your badness
You're just the baddest girl there'll ever be
You've got to learn to compromise
You've got to dry your weeping eyes
Watch what you do with those

Heaven knows I love you
Heaven knows how much I care
Couldn't live without you
Look for me and I'll be there

But, even though you're a joy to me
I think you think, "he's a bore to me"
What your thing, am I still your guy?
I'm so confused, my darling, I could die

You're the one on my mind
Got me working overtime
I only think about love and you
Talk to me, don't be shy
Heaven knows I really try to love you...
I try to love you

Used to be amazing
Used to make the world say "wow"
Heaven brought us together
That's how I know it'll all work out

We bulit our love on a solid ground
And can't a thing ever bring us down
Back together like we wanted to
Forget me not, 'cause I remember you

You're still the one on my mind
Love is working overtime
I only dream about love and you
Talk to me, don't be shy
Heaven know I really try to love you...
I try to love you, yeah

You're the one on my mind
Got me working overtime
I only think about love, don't you?
Talk to me, don't be shy
Heaven knows I really try to love you...
I try to love you, baby

This is love that you can't ignore
I never knew a girl like you before
And heaven knows I couldn't love you more...

This is so right
This is so right
This is so right
Because I love you
I really love you, baby

Back together like we wanted to
Forget me not, 'cause I remember you

Work, it can work
Gonna work out, gonna work out
Work, its going work
Gonna work out, gonna work it out
Work, its gonna work, 'cause I love
Heaven knows and I know it can...

I love when the day is new
We get to start all over
But the thing is sometimes getting through the day
Is just one big hustle

The world is waiting, dawn is here
Ain't got time to waste, we need to work, my dear
Hurry, hurry can't delay
Get up and start today, it's time to ...

Hustle
Oh, trying to keep things together
Working all day, finding a way ...to hustle
Soon I'll be back to you
But first I got a lot to do

We learn to fight to survive
And that's how we manage to stay alive
Then we let the night settle in
Then I get to see my babe again

I know you're waiting patiently
You're home before I am, and so you wait for me
Anticipation', I rush I do
I'm coming back to you, I've got to

Hustle
Oh, I can't stay in this place
I've got to see my baby's face (Hustle)
Sure as I breathe and live
I've got a lot of love to give

You're my lady, I'm your man
Let's turn the music up
I think it's time to dance
Night has fallen
Spirits rise
Ain't no compromise, we came to ...

Hustle
Up all night, don't stop yet
Just let the music make you sweat and
Hustle
Forget about the work we do
I just wanna be with you

They may say that we're the best thing that could be
They say it to you and they say it to me
But to each other they're insistin'
Something must be missin'
Things can't really be the way they seem to be

They don't know love the way we do
They've never loved someone like you

Lady, lady, I never let them talk about you
Lady, lady, 'cause you're mine
Lady, lady, I jump up when they talk about you
But so what I'm gonna be your guy

You can never win
Once that stuff begins
'Cause when it starts, it just never ends
People start rumors about you
But I won't ever doubt you
You're my best friend

Let them be how they wanna be
They can't stop you from loving me

So you see, I don't care what they say,
I don't care what they do
I'm the one who loves you,
I'm the one you need, I'm the one...

A symphony plays when you are near
And I love the music that I hear

One thing I would love to do
Is talk to someone
Wish I knew who
Sometimes the people who know the least say the most
Makes you wonder who you can trust
What's gonna happen
The first thing I know
God is love
The next thing would be
He loves me
Sometimes I'm tired of waiting for a thing or someone
Then I stop and see what He's done
And I know everything will come
And it maybe today
Anything can change, nothing stays the same
And maybe today
What's tomorrow for
No one knows for sure
Through it all come may
Little miracles happen everyday
And so there you go
Strangely enough
Alone even so
Addicted to love
You're in and out so quickly
That it gives you a start
You're waiting for a message or a word
But you haven't heart from your heart
But it might be today
Anything can change
Nothing stays the same
And maybe today
For the love in me
I really believe
Through it all come what may
Little miracles happen everyday
What is a miracle
Love is a miracle
Every time that you care
Miracles happen somewhere
So many miracles
Even small little miracles
Just take one look about
It's not hard to figure out
Cause it might be today
Anything can change
Nothing stays the same
And maybe today
What's tomorrow for
No one knows for sure
Through it all come what may
Little miracles happen everyday
Little miracles happen everyday

I could write a book on love
The way you make me feel
I never knew someone
Could have a love so real

Call it a special heart
Call it a love so true
But, in a little while I'm getting close to you

See, I'm about to lose my mind
(Love is on the way)
I'm so excited, it's a crime
(Love is on the way)
It's gonna be real love
Real love, oh love

Calling up all my friends
To tell them how right they've been
They said you would take me back into your arms again
Gonna do right this time, I like the way it feels
I don't wanna ask too much
Just wanna feel you touch

See, I'm about to lose my mind
(Love is on the way)
I'm so excited, it's a crime
(Love is on the way)
It's gonna be real love
Real love, oh love

I'm all excited
(Love is on the way)
I'm so delighted
(Love is on the way)
'Cause love is comin'
(Love is on the way
And I've been waiting for the day for love to come
(Love is on the way)
My heart is flyin'
(Love is on the way)
There's no denynig
(Love is coming)
Oh love

See, I'm about to lose my mind
(Love is on the way)
I'm so excited, it's a crime
(Love is on the way)
It's gonna be real love
Real love, oh love

I get a second chance today
(Love is on the way)
It's really true love and I can say
(Love is on the way)
It's gonna be real love, real love

Well, I'm about to lose control
(Love is on the way)
'Cause love is coming, don't you know
(Love is on the way)
It's gonna be real love, real love

I know for sure that this is it
(Love is on the way)
Can't talk to you now, there's love to get
(Love is on the way)
It's gonna be real love, real love

What are we saying?
For what are we praying?
Using the words we both wanna hear

What are we doing?
The whole thing is proving
We're feeling the same way we always did

So, here we go once again
It's just like back when
I clearly remember the way we were then
So come back and love me again

I was the one who adored you
And I waited all this time for you
But, you can't tell love what to do
It's so hard but it's true
You used to love me completely
And I'd really love you to need me
So darling, tell me you can find the way
Find a way to love me, again

I've heard the stories of hearts that get broken
But, if we take it slowly, it won't have to be
One step at a time heart, too fast and it all'll fall apart
I know we're survivors, but I'll speak for me

Even as strong as I am
I don't think I can
Lost outside the world
I don't know just where I stand
So hurry back girl, and love the boy again

I was the one who adored you
And I'd wait a million years for you
But, you can't tell love where to go
This is one thing that we know
You used to love me completely
And I'd really love you to need me
So darling, tell me you can find the way
Find a way to love me again

Find any way that you can, love me again
Just think it over and then, love me again

They may say that we're the best thing that could be
They say it to you and they say it to me
But to each other they're insistin'
Something must be missin'
Things can't really be the way they seem to be

They don't know love the way we do
They've never loved someone like you

Lady, lady, I never let them talk about you
Lady, lady, 'cause you're mine
Lady, lady, I jump up when they talk about you
But so what I'm gonna be your guy

You can never win
Once that stuff begins
'Cause when it starts, it just never ends
People start rumors about you
But I won't ever doubt you
You're my best friend

Let them be how they wanna be
They can't stop you from loving me

So you see, I don't care what they say,
I don't care what they do
I'm the one who loves you,
I'm the one you need, I'm the one...

A symphony plays when you are near
And I love the music that I hear

Just let me love you tonight
Forget about tomorrow
My darling, won't you hold me tight
And never let me go

Dry your eyes
No tears, no sorrow
Cling to me with all your might
And never let me go

A million times or more
We said we'd never part
But lately I find
You're a stranger, stranger in my heart

Give me the right
In summer or in spring time
To tell the world you are mine
And you will never let me go
And never let me go

Last time you thought of him, he thought of you
And it proves the magic was for real
Just then the winds of change
Brought down the falling rain, so unexpected
What should you do?

Now, you've got plans to change, some things to rearrange
Scared of tomorrow, scared of right now too
See, it's all very sad
Can't deny you feel bad
But I just don't want you to let this thing take you over

Don't let it hurt so bad, don't let it because?
Everything can be the way that it was
But keep hurt inside and it's just like those tears of the clown
Everyone says that you'll come back around
But, not if you fall too far down

No one really knows
When their clouds will go away
That's why they say we should always save
For a rainy day

Someone made some promises that didn't keep
It set you up just to let you down
Be careful not to let it push you around
And you'll be okay, if you take one day, by one day
See, I just don't want you to
Let this thing take you over

Don't let it hurt so bad, don't let it because?
Most of your life can be the way that it was
But, keep hurt inside and it's just like those tears of the clown
Everyone thinks that you'll come back around
But, not if you fall too far down

Too far down is where you fall when you don't care no more
But, what about love?
Isn't it worth living for?
You don't know?

Don't let it hurt so bad, don't let it because?
Everything can be the way that it was
But keep hurt inside and it's just like those tears of the clown
Everyone says that you'll come back around
But, not if you fall too far down

You're not the only one who's loved and who's lost
So many people too, know they've paid the cost
The thing that we learn is how to get a smile from a frown
Go ahead if you want, stumble and fall
But, don't fall honey too far down

Pick yourself up; if you're lost you'll be found
But, if you don't care, you're just too far down
I know you feel so left out; pushed around
But nevertheless, don't go too far down

Now, are y'all ready?
Are y'all ready?
Here we go now
Do it with the fever
Yeah, come on

Ain't no stoppin' us now
We're on the move
(Hey-yeah, hey-yeah)

But now it looks like things are finally comin' around, yeah
I know we've got a long, long way to go, yeah
And were we'll end up, I don't know

But we won't let nothin' hold us back
We're gonna get ourselves together, ha
We're gon' polish up our act, yeah
And if you've ever been held down before

We're on the move (we've got the groove)
Ain't no stoppin' us now
We've got the groove (yeah, look let me tell you this)

I know you know someone who's got a negative vibe (who?)
And if you only happen they only keep you alive (shut up!)
They really don't have nowhere to go
Ask them were they're going, they don't know

But we won't let nothin' hold us back
We're gonna get ourselves together, come on
We're gon' polish up our act, yeah
And if you've ever been held down before
I know that you refuse to be held down any more

Don't you let nothin', nothin'
(I won't do it, stand in your way, no, no)
I want y'all to listen, listen
(That's right, to every word we say, every word we say about it)

Ain't no stoppin' us now (that's right)
We're on the move (nothin' gonna, nothin' gonna , stop us now, stop us now)
Ain't no stoppin' us now (yeah, come on)
We've got the groove (Ooh-ooh, yeah, yeah)
Ain't no stoppin' us now (No, no, no, no)
We're one the move (On the move, hey yeah, hey yeah)
Ain't no stoppin' us now
We've got the groove (Yeah, now you see)

Don't wanna stop, please don't make me stop

No, no, no, no, no
Don't wanna stop, please don't make me stop
I don't want to

We're on the move (oh yes we are, yeah yeah)

Ain't no stoppin' us now (yeah)
We've got the groove (ooh-ooh, come on rhyme with me)
(Don't wanna stop, please don't make me stop)
Ain't no stoppin' us now
We're on the move

I used to cry myself to sleep at night
But that was all before she came
I thought love had to hurt to turn out right
But now you're here it's not the same
It's not the same

She builds me up
She gives me love
More love than I've ever seen
She's all I got
She's all I got in this world
And she's all the woman that I need

And in the morning when I kiss her eyes
She takes me down and rocks me slow
And in the evening when the moon is high
She holds me close and won't let go
She won't let go

She builds me up
She gives me love
More love than I've ever seen
She's all I got
She's all I got in this world
And she's all the woman that I need

Always and forever
Each moment with you
is just like a dream to me
That somehow came true
And I know tomorrow
will still be the same
Cos' we've got a life of love
that won't ever change
And ev'ry day
love me your own special way
Melt all my heart away
with a smile
Take time to tell me
you really care
And we'll share tomorrow
together
I'll always love you
forever
forever
forever
forever
There'll always be sunshine
when I look at you
Something I can't explain
just the things that you do
And if you get lonely
phone me And take
a second to give to me
the magic you make
And ev'ry day
love me your own special way
Melt all my heart away
with a smile
Take time to tell me
you really care
And we'll share tomorrow
together
I'll always love you
forever

forever
love you
love you

forever
forever
forever

love you
forever

forever
I'll always love you
forever

forever
I love you

My love
there's only you in my life
The only thing that's bright
My first love
You're every breath that I take
You're every step I make
And I
I want to share
all my love with you
No one else will do
And your eyes
your eyes your eyes
They tell me how much you care
Oh yes you will always be
my endless love

Two hearts
two hearts that beat as one
Our lives have just begun
Forever
I'll hold you close in my arms
I can't resist your charms
And love and love
I'll be a fool for you I'm sure
You know I don't mind
Oh you know I don't mind
Cause baby you
you mean the world to me
Oh I know
I've found in you
my endless love

Oh and love
I'll be that fool for you
I'm sure
that You know I don't mind
you know I don't mind

you'll be the only one
no one can deny
This love I have inside
And I'll give it all to you
My love my love my love
my endless love

Love soft as an easy chair
Love fresh as the morning air
One love that is shared by two
I have found with you

Like a rose under the April snow
I was always certain love would grow
Love ageless and evergreen
Seldom seen by two

You and I will make each night a first
Every day a beginning
Spirits rise and their dance is unrehearsed
They worm and excit us 'cause we have the brightest love

Two lights that shine as one
Morning glory and midnight sun
Time we've learned to sail above
Time won't change the meaning of one love
Ageless and ever evergreen

I'm an ever rolling wheel
Without a destination real
And I'm an ever spinning top
Whirling around 'till I drop

[1] - Oh, but what am I to do
My mind is in a whirlpool
Give me a little hope
One small thing to cling to

[2] - You got me going in circles
Oh, around and around I go
Going in circles
Oh, around and around I go
I'm strung out over you

I'm a faceless clock
With timeless hopes that never stop
When I feel that way
You know my soul's at stake

[Repeat 1]

[Repeat 2]

I'm strung out over you( I need you baby)
Uuh, I need (I need you baby)
Call me (I need you baby)
I need baby, my baby, my baby
My baby, my baby girl

[Ad lib until fade]

I've been alone with you
inside my mind
And in my dreams
I've kissed your lips
a thousand times
I sometimes see you pass
outside my door
Hello is it me you're looking for
I can see it in your eyes
I can see it in your smile
You're all I've ever wanted
And my arms are open wide
'Cause you know just what to say
And you know just what to do
And I want to tell you so much
I love you

I long to see the sunlight
in your hair
And tell you time and time again
how much I care
Sometimes I feel my heart
will overflow
Hello I've just got to let you know
'Cause I wonder where you are
And I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely
or is someone loving you
Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven't got a clue
But let me start by saying
I love you

Hello is it me you're looking for
'Cause I wonder where you are
And I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely
or is someone loving you
Tell me how to win your heart
I don't even have a clue
But let me start by saying
I love you

Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song

I heard he sang a good song
I heard he had had style.
And so I came to see him listen for a while
And there he was this young boy
A stranger to my eyes
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
I felt all flushed with fever
Embarassed by the crowd
I felt he found my letters
And read each one out loud
I prayed that he would finish
But he just kept right on
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
He sang as if he knew me
In all my dark despair
And then he looked right through me
As if I wasnt there
But he was there this stranger
Singing clear and strong
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song

Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song

If you're tired and confused
And you don't remember who you're talking to
Your concentration slips away
Because your baby, sweetheart, sugar's so far away

chorus
And there's a rose in a fisted glove
And the eagle flies with the dove
And if you can't be with the one you love
Honey, love the one you're with (that's right)
Love the one you're with

Do do do do do do do do it x3

Turn your heartache right into joy
She's a girl and you're a boy
Get it together
Make it tonight
You aint gonna need any more advice

(chorus)

Gotta do something, the nights really jumping so love
Don't mind the feeling, it's not like you're falling in love
Hugging and kissing when you're love is missin love
Can't do no harm if it's only one night and you're in
My man, go ahead on
Find somebogy, get somebody
Love will still be right here when you get home
For a night, get the love
The eagles flying with the dove
And if you can't be in love
With the one you love
Just love the one you're with

Through the mirror of my mind
Time after time
I see reflections of you and me

Reflections of
The way life used to be
Reflections of
The love you took from me

Oh, I'm all alone now
No love to shield me
Trapped in a world
That's a distorted reality

Happiness you took from me
And left me alone
With only memories

Through the mirror of my mind
Through these tears that I'm crying
Reflects a hurt I can't control
'Cause although you're gone
I keep holding on
To the happy times
Oh, when you were mine

As I peer through the window
Of lost time
Looking over my yesterdays
And all the love I gave all in vain
(All the love) All the love
That I've wasted
(All the tears) All the tears
That I've tasted
All in vain

Through the hollow of my tears
I see a dream that's lost
From the hurt
That you have caused

Everywhere I turn
Seems like everything I see
Reflects the love that used to be

In you I put
All my faith and trust
Right before my eyes
My world has turned to dust

After all the nights
I sat alone and wept
Just a handful of promises
Are all that's left of loving you

Reflections of
The way life used to be
Reflections of
The love you took from me

In you I put
All my faith and trust
Right before my eyes
My world has turned to dust...

Baby, baby, sweet baby
There's something that I've just got to say
Baby, baby, sweet baby
You left me hurtin' in a real cold way

Speak your name and I feel a thrill
You said I do, sure thing, and I said I will

I told you to just be true
And give me just a little time
Wait on me, baby
I want you to be all o' mine
I've just been so blue
Since you've been gone
(why'd ya do it, why'd ya have to do it)

Since you've been gone
I've been missin' you
Miss your good love
Miss your kissin' too
What a shame, why'd you do that
Why'd you tip on me?
Come home, bring your love back now
To rescue me, Uh Huh

Baby, baby, sweet baby
(sweet, sweet baby)
I didn't mean to run you away
It was pride on my lips
But not in my heart
To say the things that made you stray

And I mean
Hear me now (hear me)
I don't know what I'm gonna do (hear me)
Gotta get you back somehow (hear me now)

And all I know is if ya
Take me back
Consider me, please
If you walk in that door
I can get you off my knees
And I've just been so blue
Since you've been gone
(why'd ya do it, why'd ya have to do it)
Since you've been gone
(why'd ya do it, why'd ya have to do it)

To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
And to run where
the brave dare not go
To right the unrightable wrong
And to love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star
This is my quest
To follow that star
No matter how hopeless
No matter how far
To fight for the right
Without question or pause
To be willing to march,
march into hell
For that heavenly cause
And I know
If I'll only be true
To this glorious quest
That my heart
Will lie peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest
And the world will be
better for this
That one man, scorned
and covered with scars,
Still strove with his last
ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable,
the unreachable,
The unreachable star
And I'll always dream
The impossible dream
Yes, and I'll reach
The unreachable star

What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love,
No not just for some but for everyone.

Lord, we don't need another mountain,
There are mountains and hillsides enough to climb
There are oceans and rivers enough to cross,
Enough to last till the end of time.

What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love,
No, not just for some but for everyone.

Lord, we don't need another meadow
There are cornfields and wheat fields enough to grow
There are sunbeams and moonbeams enough to shine
Oh listen, lord, if you want to know.

What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love,
No, not just for some but for everyone.

No, not just for some, oh, but just for everyone

One thing I would love to do
Is talk to someone
Wish I knew who
Sometimes the people who know the least say the most
Makes you wonder who you can trust
What's gonna happen
The first thing I know
God is love
The next thing would be
He loves me
Sometimes I'm tired of waiting for a thing or someone
Then I stop and see what He's done
And I know everything will come
And it maybe today
Anything can change, nothing stays the same
And maybe today
What's tomorrow for
No one knows for sure
Through it all come may
Little miracles happen everyday
And so there you go
Strangely enough
Alone even so
Addicted to love
You're in and out so quickly
That it gives you a start
You're waiting for a message or a word
But you haven't heart from your heart
But it might be today
Anything can change
Nothing stays the same
And maybe today
For the love in me
I really believe
Through it all come what may
Little miracles happen everyday
What is a miracle
Love is a miracle
Every time that you care
Miracles happen somewhere
So many miracles
Even small little miracles
Just take one look about
It's not hard to figure out
Cause it might be today
Anything can change
Nothing stays the same
And maybe today
What's tomorrow for
No one knows for sure
Through it all come what may
Little miracles happen everyday
Little miracles happen everyday

Oh, yeah, don't think about it, don't think about it
Yeah, don't think about it, don't think about it

Honey, it's cold outside
Pour another glass of wine, light up the fireplace
The holiday starts right now
Make yourself slow down, put on a happy face

I don't want you to buy me nothin', it's alright
Love's the only thing on my list
All I want is a kiss for Christmas
Honey, won't you give me a kiss for Christmas? Darlin'

Early on Christmas day
Everyone looks for love under the Christmas tree
And though you might think it's strange
I wanna tell you, my love, don't buy a thing for me

I don't want you to get me nothin', it's alright
'Cause if I could just get my wish
All I want is a kiss for Christmas
Honey, won't you give me a kiss for Christmas? Darlin'

A kiss for Christmas is all that I want yeah
A kiss for Christmas, don't make me wait for love
This Christmas all that I want is
A kiss for Christmas, don't make me wait, love

Don't make me wait, baby, Merry Christmas, yeah
Come on, yeah, don't think about it, don't think about it

All I want is a kiss for Christmas
Honey, won't you give me a kiss for Christmas? Darlin'
All I want is a kiss for Christmas

Honey, won't you give me a kiss for Christmas? Darlin'
All I want is a kiss for Christmas
Honey, won't you give me a kiss for Christmas?


Oh, yeah, don't think about it, don't think about it
Yeah, don't think about it, don't think about it

I don't know how love could do this to me
I've waited and waited for someone I never see
But I'm so sentimental,
and I'm so hopeful you'll be there
So, here I am every year, every Christmas

I've wished for you in my heart and in my head
And I got my answer that first moment that we met
And, oh yes, I believed you as you told me,
as you said You'd be here every year,
every Christmas

There must be a lesson for me to learn
If you don't trust in love,
you'll get nothing in return
Why should I be lonely,
don't tell me it's right
I have my pride,
but I'd rather be with you tonight

So much emotion, it's driving me mad
But I'll take my chances
with these feelings that I have
And I'll come back to this same
corner where we met
And I'll be here every year, every Christmas

Mere words can't explain the pain and the fear
'Cause oh, I wonder, yes,
I wonder are you gonna leave me standing here
Today's almost over, but I don't want to leave
Has my heart made a fool out of me?

My friends gather round me with holiday cheer
They say to forget you,
to let you go 'cause you're not here
Well, I can't keep explaining
what they'll never understand
And why I'm here every year, every Christmas
I return every year, every Christmas
I come here every year, every Christmas

Have yourself a merry little Christmas Let your heart be light From now on our troubles will be out of sight Have yourself a merry little Christmas Make the yultide gay From now on our troubles will be miles away Hear we are as in olden days Happy golden days of yore Faithful friends that are dear to us Get a near to us once more Through the years we all will be together If the faiths allow Hang a shining star upon the highest bough And have yourself a merry little Christmas night Through the years we all will be together If the faiths allow Hang a shining star upon the highest bough And have yourself a merry little Christmas night -

Christmas memories still remind me of you
I wanna be closer to you
And I wish you were closer to me
Every song they play this time of year
Every melody that I hear, every minute I wish
I wish you were near

Something's missin' , must be you
So I listen when the bells start ringin'
My heart starts singin'

I listen to the bells
And they make me remember
When we were so in love
It was only last year, this time in December
I listen to the bells
And I reminisce
I hear those Christmas bells
But I never knew that I could miss you like this

Love the lights and everything under the tree
Friends come around
They have a good time
But it's not a party for me
Call up Santa
Tell him that I've been blue
Tell him it's hard for me
It's been a blue holiday, 'cause I'm missin' you

I keep wishin', wondering if you'll think of me
So I listen when the bells start ringin'
My heart starts singin'

Something's missin', must be you
So I listen when the bells start ringin'
My heart starts singin'

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens,
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens,
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things.

Cream-colored ponies and crisp apple strudels,
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles,
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things.

When the dog bites, when the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I just simply remember my favorite things
and then I don't feel so bad.

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes,
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes,
Silver white winters that melt into spring
These are a few of my favorite things.

When the dog bites, when the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I just simply remember my favorite things
and then I don't feel so bad.

I just simply remember my favorite things
and then I don't feel so bad.

O come, all ye faithful,

[Chorus]

Dont be discouraged
Dont be dismade
There's hope for all in this world
Cause this is Christmas day
Say A little prayer for the world

God Teach us love
though you think he doesn't hear
I know he does.

This is Christmas
Let the world sing
Let a soul began to heal
Hallejuah this is christmas
And with love we can began today

Christmas bells ring
Peoples heart sing
I forget about all the troubles I seem to have.
tell myself to feel how my brother feels
Try to love'em then maybe then I could understand.

Make a little room in our hearts
No hearts to small
Can love each other today
Cause after all

This is Christmas
Let the world sing
Let a soul began to heal
Hallejuah this is christmas
And with love we can began today

Come Come Come see the little one
Come Come Come see the little one
Come see the baby
Come see the baby

This is Christmas
Let the world sing
Let a soul began to heal
Hallejuah this is christmas
And with love we can began today

Luther Vandross - With a Christmas Heart





It's Christmas now
This is when we see all the angels
Dancing in the sky above, just for us
It's Christmas day
Something to believe in
I believe the love that we feel for each other
Is his gift to us
And nothing will keep up apart
If we love with a Christmas heart

It's Christmas now
This is when the eyes of our children
Search into these eyes of ours
How sweet they are
What kind of world are we gonna leave them?
What we couldn't learn from each other
We can learn from God
What a way to live, what a place to start
Bless up please with a Christmas heart

We can't change the way we were
But we can change the way we are
All I really wanted
From this crazy love
Was a night so full of stars
That our hearts could not pretend
and what I wouldn't give
To have that crazy love again
I believe in second chances
And I'm holding on for sure
To your crazy love
To your crazy love
Crazy love
I lived my life for you
But now I'm left with me
Hanging on to pieces
Of what used to be
And no matter how I try
When I feel another's touch
It brings me back to why
I miss our crazy love so much
I believe in second chances
And I'm holding on for sure
To your crazy love
To your crazy love
Crazy love
I can light the fire
alone in the dark
but maybe if we look inside
there's still a sprak

said I believe in second chances
And I'm holding on for sure
To our crazy love
It was crazy love

Well I think I'm going out of my head
Yes I think I'm going out of my head over you, over you
I want you to want me I need you so badly
I can't think of anything but you yeah
And I think I'm going out of my head
Cause I can't explain these tears that I shed
Baby over you over you
I see you each morning
But you just walk past me
You don't even notice I exist

Going out of my head over you baby
Out of my head over you darlin'
Been out of my head oh baby
I must think of a way into your heart
There's no reason why
My being shy should keep us apart
Ummm

Yeah Ohhhh.- Shoobop shoobop baby
Shoobop Shoobop my love
I see you each morning
But you just walk past me
You don't even notice that I exist

Going out of my head over you darlin'
Out of my head over you
Out of my head
Im going going going going going
Girl Girl Yeah
I'm Going going going going going
Com' on
Give me give me your loving
Com' on
Give me give me your loving

Well, once again my love It's time for you to go
No need to explain anything I know, I know, I know
This is the end of the road It's the parting of the ways
And there's not much left for us to say
You keep telling me he's no good for you
You said you were gonna change your lock
You told me if he bothers you again, baby
He'll be dancing to the Jailhouse Rock
Put him away, baby Make him understand
Tell him his game is over
And then when you cry, I'll be your shoulder
Whatever you're going through I can make it better
No one should be making you feel like you do
I can make it better Oh baby, baby
Don't be a link in his chain
Tell him you want to be free, you want to love me
Don't let him get in the way
For every one time that he gives you pleasure
Ten times he makes you wanna cry
You spend every night with the toss and the turn, baby
And wonder why in the world, oh why
How in the world can you get any sleep
Every one knows the way that he creeps
It's time for the question baby
What has he done for you lately, so
Whenever you want me to I can make it better
I just need this one chance to prove it to you
I can make it better Ooo baby, baby
Don't be a pawn in his game
Go 'head and tell him it's over, tell him to go
Or darling, it's just a shame
Better for you is better for me
Let's fall in love, I'll make you see
Better for you is better for me, baby
Let's fall in love, I'll make you, I'll make you see
Never again will you hear a lie
Never again will you wanna cry
never, oh no, will there be a tear drop in your eye
Stop all this madness in the name of love
Tell him to leave cuz enough is enough
Let him go baby, save your love for me
Tell him you've found somebody
Who'll give you the love that you just won't believe
Whatever you're going through I can make it better
No one should be making you feel like you do
I can make it better Oh baby, baby
Don't be a link in his chain
Go 'head and tell him it's over, tell him to go
Or darling, it's just a shame
Better for you ooh~ better for you
I can make it better for you better for you better for you

Now I been gone, for sometime baby
But I been thinkin' of you, the whole time through
The thought of your love got me excited
And now that all the waitin' is done
It's time to have some fun my baby

[Chorus]
Baby I love you so
I wanna love you head to toe
I can't wait, no I can't wait no longer
Come on baby, let's do this
You were my lover and my friend
I wanna love you 'til the end
To the very end, girl
I can't wait, no I can't wait no longer
So come on baby, let's do this, yeah

Now you know I'm - I'm not complicated
I only need you my sweet baby and your love to drive me crazy
Now that I'm back you better get ready
'Cause I saved it all for you
I'm gonna love you through and through my baby

[Chorus]

I waited so long to get to this
Come on baby, let's do this, yeah

Ha, ha wait a minute Mr. Vandross
You say you been gone so long you need a dose
But, oh no that coming and going, it's got to go
Check my flow

You say you want this,
Well baby this you besta know
Spinderella ain't ain't new to this
I need my man to be true tho this,

So work it out, lace this if you can
And stay around - you the man
And I need you to be down

[Chorus]

It's Hard For Me To SayDidn't know 'til todayThat you would love for me to sayAll of things I feelThough you don't doubt they're realInsecure, very shyAre the only reasons I have whyI never say the things that you would lo

I see us in the park strolling
the summer days
Of imaginings in my head
And words from our hearts
Told only to the wind of even
Without being said
I don't want to bore
you with my troubles

But there's something
bout your love
That makes me weak
and knocks me off my feet
There's something bout your love
That makes me weak
and knocks me off my feet
Oh baby said you knock me
off my feet
I don't to bore you with it
Oh But I love you
I love you I love you
I don't want to bore you with it
Oh But I love you
I love you I love you
More and more
We lay beneath the stars
Under a lovers tree that's seen
Through the eyes of my mind
I reach out for the part
Of me that lives in you baby
That only our two hearts can find
But I don't want to bore you with
The troubles
But there's something
bout your love
That makes me weak
and knocks me off my feet
There's something bout your love
That makes me weak
and knocks me off my feet
Oh baby said you knock me
off my feet
I don't to bore you with it
Oh But I love you
I don't to bore you with it
Oh But I love you
I love you I love you
I don't want to bore you with it
Oh But I love you
I love you I love you

Ay, love don't love you
Hey, love, ah ha

Time rushes on
And it's not fair
When someone you used to love
Is no longer there
But I think it's time you know
See love is a society
Any fool can not belong
?Cause the minute you hurt love
Then it's over and done

Love don't love you anymore
No more, shoulda never done wrong
Love don't love you anymore
No, no

Love is a ride, up and down, yeah
You did what you did to love
And I bet'cha know now
?Cause there's no one else around
And now you're running back to me
To forgive you your mistake
Kinda makes me sad to say but
It's a little too late

Love don't love you anymore
No more, no more, no more, no more
Love don't love you anymore
And oh love, ooo, love
Love, love's not coming home
Ain't it hard to believe
Baby, baby, baby
Love, love's not coming home, hey

It seems to be that
You're the one
The one who did bad things to love
It's sad to see, so sad to tell
But now we'll never hear the bells

Love sure don't love you
Love sure don't want you
Love sure don't love you
Anymore, anymore
And it's a shame

Love sure don't love you
No it don't
Love sure don't want you
I know, I know
Love sure don't love you
Anymore, anymore

Love don't love you anymore
Love sure don't love you anymore, anymore
Love don't love you baby
Love, love you anymore
Love sure don't love you anymore, anymore

It's a shame that
Love don't love you baby
Love don't love you honey
Ain't it hard to believe
No, no, no, no
Love don't love you baby
Any love don't love ya honey

Hey baby, what's your game?I ask you the question and the answer's still the sameHow can you go on day to dayWithout someone to careIf I wanted to take that chanceIf I wanted to be your manYou tell me that you feel lonelyBut you won't love nobodyYou tell me that you got a big heartBut you won't love no oneYou lie and you moan and you bitch and you groanBut you won't let nobody in to loveWhat am I gonna do?Hey there baby, you're not shyWe talk for hours and you seem just fine girl, but...Every time I bring up loveYou run for coverSuppose I told you something that's trueSuppose I told you that I want youYou tell me all the guys want youBut you won't love nobodyYou keep your heart in seclusionAnd you won't love no oneYou game and you flirt and you talk a lot of dirtBut you don't want nobody to loveWhat are you gonna do?Heart feels empty, there's no one homeNights are longer when you're aloneYou tell me that you feel lonelyBut you won't love nobodyYou tell me that you got a big heartBut you won't love no oneYou lie and you moan and you bitch and you groanBut you won't let nobody in to loveWhat am I gonna do?You tell me all the guys want youBut you won't love nobodyYou keep your heart in seclusionAnd you won't love no oneYou game and you flirt and you talk a lot of dirtBut you don't want nobody to loveWhat are you gonna do?

Don't know what this could be
Could it be love taking a hold on me?
There's no pain, there's no doubt
For the first time there's nothing to cry about
She wears the stars in her eyes
And she looks
and she sees into this heart of mine
I could survive after any lover
Love could go wrong one way or another
But, this time I'm right this time I know
This time I know that it's love 'til the end
Yesterday's over, I'm starting again
And, this time I'm right this time I know it's love
Ain't no love like she gives
And she told me that I'm the reason she lives
Comes to me all the time
I'm not just making her up in my mind, No way
I see the stars in her eyes
So I look and I know that she sees only mine
All of my life I've been waiting for this
This is the love that I don't wanna miss
'Cause, this time I'm right this time I know
I'm a believer in love that's for real, baby
I don't know much, but I know what I feel
This time I'm right this time I know it's love
This is it, can't waste time
'Cause I know, the one is mine
Celebrate, can't slow down
It's for sure, love's turning me around

I could survive after any lover
Love could go wrong one way or another
But, this time I'm right this time I know
This time I know that it's love 'til the end
Yesterday's over, I'm starting again
And, this time I'm right this time I know it's love
All of my life I've been waiting for this
This is the love that I don't wanna miss
'Cause, this time I'm right this time I know
I'm a believer in love that's for real
I don't know much, but I know what I feel
And, this time I'm right this time I know it's love

Love came to me that day
Stayed longer than I planned
But change is good, they say
So I rearranged my world for them
For her and love and, here I go again
I spoke to my heart
Said, Open up wide
Then got the message you had changed your mind
And now here I am and I just don't understand
Baby, if you talk to me then I will listen
There can't be no us honey, if you are missin'
Yes I love you, yes I need you
ain't no world for me without you
I want you, I'm just too proud to beg

So sad the journey made
So high the price we have to pay
All for love...
And it hurts you anyway
I can't lose my soul to hope and wishing
You don't understand me, I know that you think...
I don't love you, I don't need you
But, my intentions are to love you
See, I want you, I'm just too proud...
To beg for your love
So don't put me through it
Take a little time to think about what you're doing
And try to understand why...
Yes I love you, yes I need you
ain't no world for me without you
I want you, I'm just too proud to beg
So sad the journey made
So high the price we have to pay
All for love...
And it hurts you anyway
Yes I love you, yes I need you
ain't no world for me without you
I want you, I'm just too proud to beg
Yes I love you, yes I need you

We don't play any games, my girl and I
We get by on the high of love
And there's no time to spend on doubt or wondering
'Cause no one else could I ever love
You see the world outside can be cold and very lonely
And it gets real bad
And it makes me sad,
but Whether or not the world gets better
You and I and love will be together, together
Whether or not the world gets better
You and I will truly survive
And it's all because our love will never die
Never ever die
We all live in a crazy world today
There's so much beauty and yet there's so much pain
And we'd be wiser to make a change, with love we could
It's our world, we should make it good
And if the world outside gets too cold and feels too lonely
And it gets real bad
It'll still make us sad
Whether or not the world gets better
You and I and love will be together, together
Whether or not the world gets better
You and I will truly survive
And it's all because our love will never die
Never ever die
Our love is out world
And it keeps us safely from anything outside that could hurt us
We look out from inside
And depending on what we see
We just hold each other tightly, hold me tightly
'Cause sometimes it's just better to let it be
Whether or not the world gets better
You and I and love will be together, together
Whether or not the world gets better
You and I will truly survive
And it's all because our love will never die
Whether or not the world gets better
You and I and love will be together, together
Whether or not the world gets better
You and I will truly survive
And it's all because our love will never die
Whether or not the world gets better
You and I and love will be together, together
Whether or not the world gets better

A kiss in the dark
A certain time I can call you
A letter of love
But no name did you sign
Pretending to all
That we were just friends
when I saw you
I didn't know that you
wanted me to be
I didn't know that
you wanted me for your
you wanted me to be
Your secret love
Why can't we tell somebody
'Cause secret loves
Never last as long
Your secret love
Will never be your true love
I can't be no secret baby
It's breakin' my heart
You should've let me know
from the first time baby
That you were not
were not free to love
How could you wait so long
Oh what a waste of love baby
I should known that
you wanted me to be
I should known
That you wanted me for your
you wanted me to be
Your secret love
Why can't we tell somebody
'Cause secret loves
Never me as long
Your secret love
Will never be your true love
I can't be no secret baby
It's breakin' my heart
I won't be you secret love
'Cause it's just a waste
of my love
I'm tellin' you from the start
I won't be the one
who gives you love
When your other guy
ain't givin' you none

Don't come now
wait for awhile
Let's meeting at the
place downtown
It's a shame it has
to be like this
But I really miss you baby
Your secret love
Why can't we tell somebody
'Cause secret loves
Never last as long
Your secret love
Will never be your true love
I can't be no secret baby
You're breaking my my heart
Your secret love
Why can't we tell somebody
'Cause secret loves
Never me as long
Your secret love

Dont be discouraged
Dont be dismade
There's hope for all in this world
Cause this is Christmas day
Say A little prayer for the world

God Teach us love
though you think he doesn't hear
I know he does.

This is Christmas
Let the world sing
Let a soul began to heal
Hallejuah this is christmas
And with love we can began today

Christmas bells ring
Peoples heart sing
I forget about all the troubles I seem to have.
tell myself to feel how my brother feels
Try to love'em then maybe then I could understand.

Make a little room in our hearts
No hearts to small
Can love each other today
Cause after all

This is Christmas
Let the world sing
Let a soul began to heal
Hallejuah this is christmas
And with love we can began today

Come Come Come see the little one
Come Come Come see the little one
Come see the baby
Come see the baby

This is Christmas
Let the world sing
Let a soul began to heal
Hallejuah this is christmas
And with love we can began today

Doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Oh...oh...oh...oh...oh...
A chair is still a chair, even when there's no one sittin' there
But a chair is not a house and a house is not a home
When there

I got your love
You need to look no further
Don't you know that
Don't you know that
After my love
You'll never need another
Don't you know that
Don't you know that
I don't make no promises I can't keep
And I promised myself that I'd love you forever
How many times must I say that
For you to understand the real thing
Don't you know that I love you so
Baby, don't you know
Don't you know that
I love you so, ooh, don't you know
Don't you know that
Oh
Without a doubt
You are my sweetest inspiration
Don't you know that
Don't you know that
I'm always down
For anything that you say
Don't you know that
Don't you know that
I love you so, yeah
I really love you, don't you know, yeah
Don't you know that
Alright, don't you know that
I really, really do, yeah
I'm really so in love with you, yeah
Don't you know that
Alright, ooh, yeah
I used to doubt every girl that I'd meet
I thought that nobody could knock me off my feet
But you are the one who made my heart's bell ring
And that's why I'm sure that this is the real thing, yeah
Don't you know that I love
Don't you know, ooh, ooh
Oh, don't you know that I love
Don't you know, oh, yeah
Don't you know that I love you so
Don't you know that
I bet a million dollars that you know
Don't you know that
Hey, baby, really don't you know that
Ooh, don't you know that
Don't you know I, don't you know I love you
Don't you know that
Hey, baby, really don't you know that
I love you, I'
