Chorus: Never thought I'd be afraid to trust you Somebody that I love so much If I can get him outta the streets Then he can come back to me
Now I see that it ain't no rush Baby tell me that's a definite plus If I can get you outta the streets Then you don't need to be wit me
Do you love me like you say Maybe you could getaway From the life of doing wrong things You promised, Don't make me read about it babe Think of me before i'm gone Cause when i'm gone it will be to late
You need to give it up Had about enough It's not hard to see The boy is mine I'm sorry that you Seem to be confused He belongs to me The boy is mine I think it's time we got this straight Let's sit and talk face to face There is no way you could mistake Him for your man are you insane You see I know that you may be Just a bit jealous of me But you're blind if you can't see That his love is all in me You see I tried to hesitate I didn't wanna say what he told me He said without me he couldn't make It though the day ain't that a shame Maybe you misunderstood Cause I can't see how he could Wanna change something that's so good Because my love is all it took You need to give it up Had about enough It's not hard to see The boy is mine I'm sorry that you Seem to be confused He belongs to me The boy is mine Must you do the things you do Keep on acting like a fool You need to know it's me not you And if you didn't know it girl it's true I think that you should realize And try to understand why He is part of my life I know it's killing you inside You can say what you want to say What we have you can't take From the truth you can't escape I can tell the real from the fake When will you get the picture You're the past I'm the future Get away it's my time to shine And if you dindn't know the boy is mine You need to give it up Had about enough It's not hard to see The boy is mine I'm sorry that you Seem to be confused He belongs to me The boy is mine You need to give it up Had about enough It's not hard to see The boy is mine I'm sorry that you Seem to be confused He belongs to me The boy is mine You can't destroy this love I found Your silly games I won't allow The boy is mine without a doubt You might as well throw in the towel What makes you think he wants you When I'm the one that brought him to This special place in my heart Cuase he was my love right from the start You need to give it up Had about enough It's not hard to see The boy is mine I'm sorry that you Seem to be confused He belongs to me The boy is mine You need to give it up Had about enough It's not hard to see The boy is mine I'm sorry that you Seem to be confused He belongs to me The boy is mine You need to give it up Had about enough It's not hard to see The boy is mine I'm sorry that you Seem to be confused He belongs to me The boy is mine
I've been talking to Some friends of mine about you boy You say you bout to have a child When you gonna tell me bout it So the chic you sleepin with Now you gotta deal with it Hope you found happiness I found myself in such a mess With you
And I put way to much love into you Thought that one day, we'll be true And time after time, i'm stuck with you But now i'm to through
Chorus: Cause I've been a fool Sittin round to long I think it's bout time that I Ring Da Bell and carry on
For gave you before But it's to far gone Think it's bout time that I Ring Da Bell and move along
You said it was a mistake On the night you saw her late It must have been some pure affection Boy you didn't have protection Had to think of me But you didn't never see Yourself in this predicamemt Never thought that it would catch up with you
Put way to much love into you Thought that one day, we'll be true And time after time, i'm stuck with you But now I'm to through
(Chorus)
Enough of the way You treated me Gave you everything So hurt to say You didn't tell me
Boy this evening, was it only me Feeling completely, down to be open Down to be open For some satisfaction Didn't wanna say yes, hating your reaction I knew it was wrong, for feeling this way Especially the thought of giving in on the first date Couldn't let go, it stayed on my mind At the end of the night I had to decide I was thinking!
I should make a move but I won't I know your probably thinking something is wrong Knowing if I do then it won't be right I don't get down on the first night
I should make a move but I won't I know your probably thinking something is wrong Knowing if I do then it won't be right I wanna get down but not the first night
We were chillin watchin your t.v.
Wanted to touch you, wanted to kiss you And somehow in one night discover I love you Felt so right but it felt so wrong And look how we are carrying on Trying to say things to get me to stay But my watch tells me its getting to late I'm thinking!
If you want me You got to know me And if you want my love You gotta wait my love Baby, that's the way it's got to be Get to know me so we can do this
Verse 1: 1. Oh, Its, been such a long long time Looks like I got you off of my mind But I can't, just the thought of you Turns my whole world misty blue
Oh honey, just the mention of your name Turns a flicker to a flame Listen to me good baby I think of the things we used to do And my whole world turns misty blue
Ohhhh, baby I should forget you Heaven knows I've tried Baby, when I said that I'm glad we're through Deep in my heart I know I've lied, I've lied, I?ve lied
Repeat 1
Ohhhhhhh, no I can't no I can't I can't forget you My whole world turns misty blue
2. Ohhhh My love My whole world turns misty blue
Baby(5x) I should forget you My whole world turns misty blue
Repeat 2
Baby, baby I should forget you Misty blue

Verse 1: It's Friday night and I'm going to a party With my man, to dance As soon as we get in He is lost with his friends and I'm there, in a trance
Hook: I can tell that someone's looking at me And I didn't come here by myself But he left me here now someone else wants me So it must mean he didn't care I'm goin?on
Chorus: See ya from across the room Like you wanna know me If you wanna make a move Meet me on the dance floor Though I'm here with someone else He?s not what I'm looking for Instead I've seen him ?cross the room Meet me on the dance floor
Verse 2: As the night goes on Each glance makes me wonder What is on, your mind More than a dance as you pull Up to me it feels, alright
Hook
Chorus(2x)
Let me know what you wanna do Can't you tell that I'm missing you I'm lettin you know that your right on time Cause I'm lookin for someone else tonight
When I first saw you I already knew There was something inside of you Something I thought that I would never find Angel of mine I look at you looking at me Now I know why they say The best things are free Gonna love you boy you are so fine Angel of mine How you changed my world you'll never know I'm different now you helped me grow You came into my life sent from above When I lost the hope you show me love I'm checking for you Boy you're right on time Angel of mine Nothing means more to me Than what we share No one in this world can ever compare Last night the way you moved Is still on my mind Angel of mine What you mean to me you'll never know Deep inside I need to show You came into my life sent from above When I lost the hope you show me love I'm checking for you Boy you're right on time Angel of mine I never knew I could feel each moment As if they were new Every breath that I take The love that we make I only share it with you When I first saw you I already knew There was something inside of you Something I thought that I would never find Angel of mine came into my life sent from above When I lost the hope you show me love I'm checking for you Boy you're right on time Angel of mine How you changed my world you'll never know I'm different now you helped me grow I look at you looking at me Now I know why they say the best things are free Checking for you boy you're right on time Angel of mine
Can't believe you would leave me this way Feeling kind of bad from the last things we said today Can't believe you would turn and walk away Know we'd do this again and again
Bridge: You say you love me I'd come back but i'd hate to Only takes me a day to Realize i'm in love with you
You say your sober I'd come back but just stay boy If you don't want my love Then I have no choice this time
Chorus: Tell me baby what to do I ain't trippin over you Any, any other time Remember i'm gone be fine
How do I remain the same I don't know what's up with you Any, any other time Remember i'm gone be fine
You said you didn't mean it that's fine You wanna take it back cause your having a change of mind Sometimes saying sorry won't do Then somedays I can't do without you
Last night when I saw you With somebody new You asked how I've been And I , I told you I was fine And as you held each other close I smiled and said it's good to see you And you didn't know
Chorus: Inside I'm crying baby Inside I'm dying baby I don't wanna let you see Baby what you've done to me So I keep it all Inside, inside, inside
Sometimes when you call me I don't know what to say You say I've been on Your mind, and we'll talk again sometime You say your glad we can be friends I say I'm over all the heartache But it's all pretend
(Chorus)
Outside I'm smiling baby Outside tears just can't be found But I'm just breaking down
Inside Oh, Oh Don't you know that I am dying baby, dying baby I don't wanna let you see Baby what you've done to me So I keep it all inside
Maybe you exchanged it for new shoes I need to Come right back and be alone again Maybe I didn't get the use Out of him Didn't come with no type of warranty
Bridge: There's no one That I adore more than your love It hurts me more To let you back in again
There's no one Who could ever show me love Way to never trust someone Better than you
Chorus: Should I take him back After what he did Hurt me in ways that I can't, Begin to replace how I feel So I'll just go away
Take Him Back After what he did Hurt me in ways that I can't, Begin to replace how I feel So I'll just go away
Don't wanna go through the same games again He's no good and that's just it for me Does it every time he returns There's no use I'll just be the one left in the end
(Bridge)
(Chorus)
Don't wanna go through the same game Maybe if we remain Don't wanna go through the same games baby
(Chorus)
There's no one that I adore And you know it hurts me more To let you back into my life You ain't never treat me right
There's no one that I adore And you know it hurts me more To let you back into my life You ain't never treat me right
Oceans apart Day after day And I slowly go insane I hear your voice On the line But it doesn't stop the pain I see you next to never How can we stay forever Wherever you go Whatever you do I will be right here waiting for you Whatever it takes Or how my heart breaks I will be right here waiting for you
I took for granted All the time That I thought would last somehow I hear the laughter and I taste the tears But I can't get near you now Oh can you see it baby You've got me goin' crazy Wherever you go Whatever you do I will be right here waiting for you Whatever it takes Or how my heart breaks I will be right here waiting for you I wonder how we came survive This romance but in the end if I'm with you I'll take the chance
Wherever you go Whatever you do I'll be I'll be right here waiting for you
I'll be I'll be right here waiting for you Oh I love you Oh whatever it takes Whatever you do Where ever you go I'm never leavin' you
I Will Be Waiting I'll be right here waiting for you
It's friday night and i'm going to a party, with my man to dance Soo as we get in he is lost with his friends, and i'm there in a trance
Bridge: I can tell that someone's looking at me And I didn't come here by myself But he left me here as someones else's...... So it must be he didn't care I'm goin on
Chorus: See you from across the room Like you wanna know me boy If you wanna make a move Meet me on the dance floor Thought i'm here with someone else He's not what i'm looking for Instead of sittin' cross da room Meet me on the dance floor
As the night goes on each glance, makes me wonder what is on your mind More than a dance as you, pull up to me and it feels alright
(Bridge)
(Chorus)
Let me know what you wanna do Can you tell that i'm into you I'm lettin' you know that your right on time Cause i'm looking for someone else tonight
I looked at you a thousand times Saw when I looked at you there was something new How could I be so blind We shared our secrets in the dark Though we were only friends I don't know when The feeling changed within my heart Baby!
Chorus: Oh, I keep it to myself baby Oh, i'm falling in love with you Oh, the harder it gets Cause you don't know the love i'm feeling
Oh, I keep it to myself baby Oh, i'm falling in love with you Oh, I don't wanna push you away Cause no one makes me feel like you do
I dream of you all through the night Holdin' you gently right here with me Wrapped in my arms so tight When I start to tell you how I feel You tell me bout someone new whos right for you If you only knew my loves for real
Chorus: Oh, I keep it to myself baby Oh, i'm falling in love with you Oh, the harder it gets Cause you don't know the pain i'm feeling
Oh, I keep it to myself baby Oh, i'm falling in love with you Oh, I don't wanna push you away Cause no one makes me feel like you do
I wonder if you feel the same way I do And we both could be together forever Why do I hide all my feelings inside If I know your the only one for me The deeper that it gets The harder that I fall Fall! Baby! Oh!
When you're feeling lost in the night When you feel your world just seem tight Call on me I will be waiting Count on me I will be there Anytime the times get too tough Anytime your best ain't enough I'll be the one to make it better I'll be there to protect you See you through I'll be there and there is nothing I won't do
(Chorus) I will cross the ocean for you I will go and bring you the moon Iwill be your hero, your strength Anything you need I will be the sun in your sky I will light your way for all time I Promise you For you I will
I will shield your heart from the rain I won't let no harm come your way Oh, these arms will be your shelter No, these arms won't let you down If there is a mountain to move I will move that mountain for you I'm here for you, I'm here forever I will be your fortress, tall and strong I'll keep you safe, I'll stand beside you all along
(Chorus) I will cross the ocean for you I will go and bring you the moon Iwill be your hero, your strength Anything you need I will be the sun in your sky I will light your way for all time I Promise you For you I will
For you I will lay my life on the line For you I will fight, for you I will die With every breath, with all my soul I'll give my world, I'll give it all Put all your faith in me, and I'll do anything
(Chorus 2x) I will cross the ocean for you I will go and bring you the moon Iwill be your hero, your strength Anything you need I will be the sun in your sky I will light your way for all time I Promise you For you I will
I will cross the ocean for you I will go and bring you the moon Iwill be your hero, your strength Anything you need I will be the sun in your sky I will light your way for all time I Promise you For you I will

브랜디와 모니카. 정말 좋아했던 알앤비 싱어들.
브랜디는 음주운전으로 사고 내서 사람 죽였던가-_-
여튼 그랬는데 무슨 쇼프로 엠씨봐서 인기 끌고 그랬었고(비앙카 라이언이 상탔었지)
음반은 계속 그냥 그랬다.
모니카는 1집과 The boy is mine 이후로 계속 안 좋다가
이 곡이 실린 앨범은 좀 반응이 좋았던가, 그랬던 것 같음...
