Patti Labelle

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

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

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

[Chorus]

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

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

Two steps away
Two steps away
Two steps away

In spite of myself
Can't nobody else
Move me like you do
I'm addicted to you

I try to let go
But I can't say no
It's sad but it's true
I'm addicted to you

Who am I foolin'?
I just wish I knew why
This hold you got on me
Won't let my heart be free
From this confusion
When will it all end?

In spite of myself
Can't nobody else
Move me like you do
I'm addicted to you

I try to let go
But I can't say no
It's sad but it's true
I'm addicted to you

I was determined
I made up my mind
Once I walked out that door
I would not have any more
Of sad delusions
But here I go again

In spite of myself
Can't nobody else
Move me like you do
I'm addicted to you

I try to let go
But I can't say no
It's sad but it's true
I'm addicted to you

Oh, I know that it's wrong
To keep holdin' on
I try to be strong
But my will is undone

When I look into your eyes
I can see past all your lies
I don't want nobody else
In spite of myself
That's sad

Only you, only you
When I'm blue
Sad but true
Never knew

In spite of myself
Can't nobody else
Move me like you do
I'm addicted to you

I try to let go
But I can't say no
It's sad but it's true
I'm addicted to you

In spite of myself
Can't nobody else
Move me like you do
I'm addicted to you

I try to let go
But I can't say no
It's sad but it's true
I'm addicted to you

In spite of myself
Can't nobody else

On the avenue, have a family reunion

Wish I was your child
Hold me in your heart
We could love so free
And no, we'd never part

But I'm not a child
And wishes are
Just child's play, my love
Now I'll never be afraid

Of who I am
And who I'm not
Come what may
Wish I was a bird

I'd warm you in my wings
Safe from all the storms
You know true love can bring
But I'm not a bird

And wishes can
Just fly away, my love
And I'll never be afraid
Of who I am

And who I'm not
Come what may
Oh, I'm no fool
Shining in your eyes

Of the stars, my love
No, we'll never be afraid
Of who we are
And who we're not

Come what may
Of who we are
And who we're not
Come what may

Wish I was your child
Wish I was a bird
Wish I was a child

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

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

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

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

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

Tonight I'm gonna break away

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

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

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

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

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

Tonight I'm gonna break away

I've known about you for a while now,
Then he leaves me he wears a smile no,
As soon as he's away from me,
In his arms is where you want to be,
But I'm the one he rushes home to,
I'm the one he have his name to,
You never see his face in the early morning light,
I have his morning his babies,
And I'm the only one who has his nights,
Oh he doesn't love you like he loves me,
Though he might think of you when he's holding me,
You're just a part of his fantasies,
He'll never love you like he's been loving me,
And when he's with you he knows he needs me,
And that he wants me and he believes in me,
And when I'm in his arms oh he swears there's no one else,
If you think he'll ever leave me you're just deceiving yourself,
Oh he doesn't love you like he loves me,
Though he might think of you when he's holding me,
You're just a part of his fantasies,
He'll never love you like he's been loving me,
Should I loose my temper,
Shouldn't you be ashamed,
Cause I have nothing to lose,
And you have nothing to gain,
Oh he doesn't love you like he loves me,
Though he might think of you when he's holding me,
You're just a part of his fantasies,
He'll never love you like he's been loving me.

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

When there's something in the air
And the earth is shaking
Something inside me knows
One heart went falling
A premonition in my bones
I can sense it, there it goes
Something about two lovers that changes the world
I can detect it
Seem to reflect it and I say

I feel it in my heart, well
Feels like another one
It gets me in my soul now
It feels like another one

When I look into your eyes
There's a reaction
And I don't need to know what makes it happen
I know I've been in love before
But love's a magic open door
And every time somebody reaches in my heart
I can detect it
I got to reflect it, I say

I feel it in my heart, yeah
Feels like another one
It gets me in my soul now
It feels like another one

(rap1)
I'm lost in the sauce by a force that I can't pause
When I come across the open doors that were yours
It's uncontrollable whenever I'm holding you
With a love that I feel as good as gold with you
So may I address you with a little bit of tenderness and
Togetherness it takes to form a relationship
You know the day that these feelings began I said then
It feels like another one

A premonition in my bones
I can sense it, there it goes
Something about two lovers that changes the world
I can detect it
Got to reflect it

I feel it in my heart, well
Feels like another one
It gets me in my soul now
It feels like another one

(rap2)
When you feel the reaction of physical attraction
And deep in your mind it's pure satisfaction
From the need of true companionship
And once you feel it inside your soul
Oh man you get captivated, elevated, rejuvenated
Fascinated, so many feelings it's hard for me to state
Cause no one can really defy
The power of love taking over and over
Comfort one another, lover to lover
No matter how you avoid it
It's still gonna uncover
When you can't detect it or reflect it
Don't try to neglect it
You gotta respect it

When there's something in the air
And the earth is shaking
Something inside me knows
One heart went falling
A premonition in my bones
I can sense it, there it goes
Something about two lovers that changes the world
I can detect it
Seem to reflect it and I say

I feel it in my heart, well
Feels like another one
It gets me in my soul now
It feels like another one

When I look into your eyes
There's a reaction
And I don't need to know what makes it happen
I know I've been in love before
But love's a magic open door
And every time somebody reaches in my heart

I got to reflect it, I say

I feel it in my heart, yeah
Feels like another one

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I sure don't mind givin you good lovin' baby
You know I don't mind givin you good lovin' baby

[Chorus:]
I sure don't mind givin you good lovin' baby
Anytime you want me baby

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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

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

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

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

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

(Prince)
Out of the lonely blue

(Patti)
I' I hear your voice
I' I hear your voice
I' I hear your voice calling in the night (can't take it baby)

I remember just like it was yesterday
I woke up baby, you were gone
I didn't even wanna tear myself up out of bed
Let alone, I didn't wanna carry on

(chorus)
'Cause I could hear your voice (I hear your voice calling in the night)
I can't stop it (stop it) no matter how hard I try
I can hear your sound, your sound (I hear your sound calling in the night)
In a word, I feel like I wanna die

I started looking, lookin' from dusk 'til dawn
For ways that I wouldn't miss you so much
I even bought a new dress (new dress)
But when I put it on
I could still (still) still (still) feel your touch (feel your touch)

And I could hear your voice (I hear your voice calling in the night)
I can't stop it (stop it) no matter how hard I try
I can hear your sound, your sound, your sound(I hear your sound calling in the night)
In a word, I feel like I wanna die (feel like I wanna die)

My friends tell me' They say Patti find a new love
A bird in hand beats two in the bush
What my friends don't know, and I ain't about to tell them
Is that you're the only one, you're the only one that knows what buttons to push

Oh oh it don't take no scientist to tell you what's wrong with me
No no no it don't take good vision to see what any fool could see
That I just need your body, I just need your fa fa fa fa face
Right where it counts, no not in another place
I'm talkin' about all up hey, & all down

Your every inch, you see I don't need ya cross town
You better read my lips, I need you here with me
I can't stop it, no matter how I try
In a word, I feel like I wanna die'.
( I hear your voice)

I' I hear your voice
I' I hear your voice
I' I hear your voice calling in the night

I hear your voice (fades out)

I like that way it feels, feels, feels because you keep it real, so real,
I like the way it feels, feels, feels, because you keep it real, so real,
You rarely stay out late and if you do you call me up (oh baby),
I never worry about you in someone else's arms making love (oh no),
There ain't no pressure when you know that I'm not in the mood cause 365...
Boy I'll give my everything to you,
I like that way it feels, feels, feels because you keep it real, so real,
Women do complain they can't find a man to satisfy heir needs (oh no)
Someone sensitive, willingness to give and able to please and...
I like the way it feels, feels, feels because you keep it real, so real,
I like the way it feels, feels ,feels because you keep it real, so real.

I coming out of this another day is too long theres a life out there that my name is on thank you father for this serenity and blessing im rich because you walked with me.

Repeat chorus

Bridge: theres nothing to stop me no one can block me im going all the way dont want you to hold you cant control me.

Repeat chorus

If by chance we meet again
If by chance we meet again

I wanna see you
Yes, I do

If by chance we meet again
I'll be sure to say I love you
If by chance I see your face
I'll be dazzled by the magic in your eyes

They look so sweet, yes, they do
If by chance we should happen to meet
I'll run into your arms so safe and warm
By your side I'll stand if by chance we meet again

If by chance we meet again
(If by chance we meet again)
If by chance we meet again
If by chance we meet again

Oh and if by chance I talk to you
I wonder if the words would come out right
If by chance I held you close
I could drift away with the warmth of your embrace

You were so sweet
If by chance we should happen to meet
We'll start all over, over again, me and my best friend
A whole new life we'll plan if by chance we shall meet again

If by chance we meet again
(We'll meet again)
If by chance we meet again

Sometimes I wonder why you had to go and leave me here
Standing in the cold and all alone
As the tears begin to fall I will remain standing tall
And the memories I will cherish forever more

If by chance we meet again
(If by chance this is our last time
I see you on the other side, yes)

If by chance we meet again
(And if by chance I have to cry)
If by chance, if by chance
(I'm telling you babe, I'm telling you baby)

If by chance we meet again
(It's because I know its time for us to say goodbye)
If by chance we meet again
(I know it's, I know it's time, I know it's time)

I'm running, said I'm running yes, I am
I'm running to say goodbye

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

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

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

(Repeat chorus)

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

(Repeat chorus until fade)

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

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

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

(Repeat chorus)

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

(Repeat chorus until fade)

Used to be that I believed in something
Used to be that I believe in love
It's been a long time since I've had that feeling
I could love someone
I could trust someone
I said I'd never let nobody near my heart again, darlin'
I said I'd never let nobody in

But if you asked me to
I just might change my mind
And let you in my life forever
If you asked me to
I just might give my heart
And stay here in your arms forever
If you asked me to
If you asked me to

Somehow ever since I've been around you
Can't go back to being on my own
Can't help feeling, darlin', since I've found you
That I've found my home
That I'm finally home
I said I'd never let nobody get too close to me, darlin'
I said I needed, needed to be free

But if you asked me to
I just might change my mind
And let you in my life forever
If you asked me to
I just might give my heart
And stay here in your arms forever
If you...

Ask me to and I will give my world to you baby
I need you now
Ask me to and I'll do anything for you baby
For you baby

If you asked me to
I'd let you in my life forever
All you gotta do is ask me to...

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus: x2]

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

[Chorus: x2]

All the wrong things to be said, we've said 'em.
We let anger guide the way.
I say you're at fault; you say i'm selfish.
Now the accusations must be paid with the strain of
Losing you, pain
Of feeling blue.
You're hurt and i'm lost,
Tell me what are we gonna do?
Please come back and kiss away the pain;
We can be happy once again.
Please come back and kiss away the pain;
We can make sunshine from the rain.
Without you, my life has no music
Rhyme and rhythm cease to be.
Close friends tell me that you're acting heartsick,
Is it all because you're missing me?
The pain is clouding your eyes
Pain too deep to disguise
You're blue, baby i am too.
Tell me, tell me, tell me what are we gonna do?
Please come back and kiss away the pain;
We can be happy once again.
Please come back and kiss away the pain;

We can make sunshine from the rain.
Please come back baby, please come back baby, kiss it
Away.
We don't even have to explain,
Please come back and kiss away my pain.
Lost love is such a shame.
Your kiss is guaranteed to take all the pain,
Take all the pain, take all the pain away from me.
Please come kiss away the pain

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

We stood on an island of our own,
From the moment we first met,
And we will forever,
So seldom found&nbsp;; A privilege to hold,
Like a precious stone,
That I will always treasure,
In my mind I picture you,
And thought you're far away,
It's like you're right here with me everyday,
Let me be there for you,
Let me be there for you,
Whenever you need a friend,
Please think of me,
No matter what you go through,
There's someone you can trun to,
Whenever you need a friend who cares,
Let me be there,
You think you've got a friend and then you see,
When your eyes are closed,
They're out to deceive,
No need to wonder when it comes to me,
By now, You should know,
I'm the one you can believe,
In this game of life we play,
You can't always win,
And when you look for refuge,
Take my hand,
Let me be there for you,
Let me be there for you,
Whenever you need a friend,
Please think of me,
No matter what you go through,
There's someone you can turn to,
Whenever you need a friend who cares,
Let me be there.

There was a time,
I said I didn't need love in my life,
I'll be alright,
I always had excuses to disguise,
How I felt inside,
So much loneliness is hard to hide,
So I'll testify,
I know in your arms,
True love I can find,

[Chorus:]
I don't want to bore you baby,
Don't want to waste your time,
I just want to be your lady,
I'll keep you satisfied,

It's hard to find,
But your love's given me a peace of mind,
So I fantasize,
I think of loving you everyday and night,
'Cause you take control,
And relax me 'cause you know where to go,

You're so wonderful,
Want to tell the world,
I want them to know,
Just how good it feels,

[Chorus]

Oh I,
Oh I,
Oh I don't want to bore you baby,
Oh I,
Oh I said,
Let me the lady,
Let me the lady for you,

[Chorus]

I don't want to bore you baby,
I just want to be your lady
Said, I don't want to bore you, no
Oh, no I don't
I just want to be
Your lady

Baby love me
Baby love me
Like I love you
[Repeat]

Said, I don't want to bore you, no

Little girls sleep at night
Safe inside their dreams, is it a scheme
They think they'll grow up into Queens
I am old, I am young and wise
I'm just a little girl in low cut clothes
Who hides behind a face, but really knows
That you devise what a child get for free
And I'll be viewed that way once... of me

Come on and hold me tight
Don't turn off the light
Just let your words embrace me
Like a fathers loving arms
Protect me from the night it will be alright
Cause tonight I'm just a little girl

A women is what a woman gives
Sometimes she gives too much, look but don't touch
Most times for me, there's not enough
When a man fall in love, with me
He moves into me like he would a house
He decorates me and lives his fantasies out

If you devise what a child gets for free
And I'll be viewed that way once... of me

Come on and hold me tight
Don't turn off the light
Just let your words embrace me
Like a fathers loving arms
Protect me from the night it will be alright
Cause tonight I'm just a little girl

With Love so Innocent, Abound so late
When all I've done with love is
Played and made mistakes

Come on and hold me tight
Don't turn off the light
Just let your words embrace me
Like a fathers loving arms
Protect me from the night it will be alright
Cause tonight I'm just a little girl

Come on and hold me tight
Don't turn off the light
Just let your words embrace me
Like a fathers loving arms
Protect me from the night it will be alright
tonight I'm just a little girl ohhh hmmm
Tonight I'm just a little girl
Mhhhh tonight I'm just a little girl
Mhhhhh Tonight I'm just a little girl

Come on and hold me tight
Don't turn off the light
Just let your words embrace me
Like a fathers loving arms
Protect me from the night it will be alright
Cause tonight I'm just a little girl ohhh

Come on and hold me tight
Don't turn off the light
Ohhh Just let your words embrace me
Like a fathers loving arms
Protect me from the night it will be alright
Cause tonight I'm just a little girl ohhh
Tonight I'm just a little girl
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
I'm just your little girl...

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Repeat to fade

Looking at these photographs
I contemplate the way life used to be
I see my family
And I think of the good times
We would share
What a joy to have you there
I never thought we'd have to say goodbye

Time passed and you were gone
Though it's hard, I carry on
Because I know....

CHORUS
Love never dies
Your laughter will remain here in this heart of mine
To ease away the pain, I miss you so
But I've learned to smile again
Love never dies

Sometimes I catch myself talking to you
As if you were standing here
Sometimes I shed a tear
'Cause you're a special part of me
Living in my memory, giving my soul wings
So I can fly
While it's true I had to grieve
In my heart I do believe we'll meet again

CHORUS

Lately everything I do,
I can't help but think of you
You're the energy that pulls me through
And though you're gone, your love
Your laughter lead me on to my destiny
I can see you paved the way for me

CHORUS

While I'm sad and feeling blue
All I have to do is think of you
You're the light that keeps on pulling me through

Love never dies

Listen to me, when you lose someone
Don't give up, remember a change is going come
Keep your light shining just like the sun
Because love never dies
Sometimes you got to say bye-bye
Don't you know you're going to get down on your knees and cry
You must realize-
Love never dies

SPOKEN:
Let me tell you something
Most of us have family members and friends who have passed on
But you know what?
I don't think they would want to see us sitting around here, moping and looking all pitiful crying our eyes out
'Cause sooner or later you're gonna have to stop that suga
You're gonna have to buff up, I mean buff up
Beat your face into place
Get back in the race and simply say...

Say!!!!

I see it everyday!!!!

It helps me to make it!!

Yee-eee-eee-aaah

Love never dies

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[Chorus]


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

[Chorus]

1 - My love, sweet love
With you, nothing else matters
You're my heart, and my heart is yours
My love, sweet love
For me, there's no one better
Cross my heart, I could not love you more

And I swear to you, there's no one more important
And I trust you with my life
So I pledge my heart to you


1

'Cause with you, my world
Is filled with so much pleasure
When I'm blind, you are my eyes
So I pledge my trust to you


1

And I swear to you
That I will always love you
And I trust you with my heart
So I pledge my world
I pledge my world, I pledge my world to you

Runnin' hot, runnin' cold
I was runnin' into overload
It was extreme, ex-ex-ex-ex-ex-extreme
I took it so high, so low
So low, there was nowhere to go
Like a bad dream
Somehow the wires uncrossed, the tables were turned
Never knew I had such a lesson to learn
I'm feelin' good from my head to my shoes
Know where I'm goin' and I know what to do
I tidied up my point of view
I got a new attitude
I'm in control, my worries are few
'Cause I've got love like I never knew
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I got a new attitude
I'm wearing a new dress (New), new hair (New)
Brand new ideas, as a matter of fact I've changed for good
It must have been the cool night, new moon, new slight change
More than to figure, but I feel like I should, yes
Somehow the wires uncrossed, the tables were turned
Never knew I had such a lesson to learn
I'm feelin' good from my head to my shoes

Make it easy on yourself
Darling, [Incomprehensible]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

If we are one big happy family, no one would have to beg to eat.
If we live in a world of dignity, no man would have to live on the street.
If I tell you you're a part of me, there's no need for disbelief.
H ere is my hand, to let you know that what we dream weall can hold.
Apart we are weak....together we're strong.

[Chorus]
Oh, people....we are writing this song. We're all living these words together forever.
There's no reason we can't live and be one...
Build the world that we want together.
For as long as you stand here by me... we'll live on.

Think of all the possibilities that the eyes of a child can see.
Think of all the opportunities that float right by you and me.
Take my hand, and we will know all that we dream...we, our own.
Apart we are weak... together we're strong.

So many times
Said it was forever
Said our love would always be true
Something in my heart always knew
I'd be lying here beside you
On my own
On my own
On my own

So many promises
Never should be spoken
Now I know what loving you cost
Now we're up to talking divorce
And we weren't even married
On my own
Once again now
One more time
By myself

No one said it was easy
But it once was so easy
Well I believed in love
Now here I stand
I wonder why

I'm on my own
Why did it end this way
On my own
This wasn't how it was supposed to be
On my own
I wish that we could do it all again

So many times
I know I should have told you
Losing you it cut like a knife
You walked out and there went my life
I don't want to live without you
On my own
On my own
On my own

I'm on my own
Why did it end this way
On my own
This wasn't how it was supposed to be
On my own
I wish that we could do it all again

This wasn't how it was supposed to end
I wish that we could do it all again
I never dreamed I'd spend one night alone
On my own, I've got to find where I belong again
I've got to learn how to be strong again
I never dreamed I'd spend one night alone
By myself by myself

I've got to find out what was mine again
My heart is saying that it's my time again
And I have faith that I will shine again
I have faith in me
On my own
On my own
On my own

Somewhere, over the rainbow,
way up high,
There's a land that I heard of
once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow
skies are bule,
and the dreams that you dare
to
dream really do come true.

Someday I'll wish upon a star
and make up
where the clouds are far
behind me
Where troubles melt
like lemon drops,
away above the chimney tops,
That's where you'll find me.

Somewhere, over the rainbow,
bulebirds fly.
Birds fly over the rainbow,
Why then - oh, why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds
fly beyond the rainbow
why oh why can't I?

Somewhere, over the rainbow,
way up high,
There's a land that I heard of
once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow
skies are bule,
and the dreams that you dare

Someday I'll wish upon a star
and make up
where the clouds are far

Where troubles melt

Birds fly over the rainbow,
Why then - oh, why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds

why oh why can't I?

Re, re, re, re, re, re, re, re
Release yourself
Release, release
Release yourself

Every day's a new day, everyday was carved
Move in to the rhythm that's repeating in your heart
Every day's a challenge, every day we'll try
Lines got to find in toe to toe when I had you on

Re, re, re, re, re, re, re
Release yourself
Re, re, re, re, re, re, re
Release yourself

Living for tomorrow, got your dreams all laid away
Ah, there's so much pressure, you deserve a break today
(Release)
Every thing's a problem and you can't take much more
Turn up the music, get your body on the floor

Re, re, re, re, re, re, re
Release yourself
Re, re, re, re, re, re, re
Release yourself

Release, release, release yourself
Release, release, release yourself
Release, release, release yourself
Release, release, release yourself

Get up, get down, get up, get out
Do this, do that, solve your problem
Or no, you better jump that

Get up, go on, get up, get on
I do, I don't
Maybe I will but maybe I won't

Release, release, release yourself
Release, release, release yourself
Release, release, release yourself
Release, release, release yourself

You're overworked, you're underpaid
You gotta make it to the top, you gotta make the grade
You're overworked, you're underpaid
You gotta make it to the top, you gotta make the grade

Overtime, you're earning, earning
But you lose your mind, you crash and burn
Overtime, you're earning, earning
But you lose your mind, you crash and burn

Why don't you just try to relax?
Cool it, cool it, cool it
Just a little

Got to find a new way, got to make us count
Listen to the rhythm that's repeating in your heart
You've got the power, drink it off the shelf
If you don't enjoy your life, you can blame nobody else so

Why don't you let, let yourself go?
Why don't you let, let yourself go?
Why don't you let, let yourself go?
Why don't you let, let yourself go?

Release, why don't you? Why don't you?
Release, why don't you? Let it go
Release, why don't you? Why don't you?
Release, why don't you? Let it go

Why don't you? Why don't you?
Why don't you? Let it go
Why don't you? Why don't you?
Why don't you? Let it go

Let it go, let it
Let it go, let it
Let it go, let it
Let it go, go

Let it go, let it
Let it go, love it
Let it go, love it
Let it go

Let it re, re, re, release, release
(Release yourself, relax and let it go)
Release, release, release
(Release yourself)

Release, release, release
(Release yourself)
Release, release
(Release yourself)

Ooh, baby, ah

Sorry to disturb you
But I had to get this off my chest
I know you?ve been real busy
Don?t have time for emotional stress

You see, taking care of home
Means more than just the rent
It means calling now and then
On occasions dropping in
And sometimes having flowers sent

What if I stayed out late
And didn?t even call
Wasn?t there to pick you up
Whenever you fall

If I didn?t smile
And compliment you when I should
Tell me what would you do
If the shoe was on the other foot?
Still, what would you do?

Oh, I, I think you take for granted
That I?m always gonna be here
This is your final notice
Soon I?m gonna disappear

I?m not asking for a whole lot
Just think of me now and then
If you don?t know what I?m saying
I don?t know how this love can win

And didn?t even call
Wasn't there to pick you up
Whenever you fall

If I didn?t smile
And compliment you when I should
Tell me what would you do
If the shoe was on the other foot?

Well, you should do unto others
As you would have them do to you
You reap what you sow and that?s how it goes
So be careful what you do
Telling you ain?t no good gonna come to you

If I stayed out late and didn?t even call
There to pick you up
Whenever you fall

If I didn?t smile
And compliment you when I should
What would you do
If the shoe was on the other foot?

I stayed out late
And didn?t even call
There to pick you up
Whenever you fall

If I didn?t smile
And compliment you when I should
What would you do
The shoe was on the other foot

Tell me, tell me what would you do
If you had to, tell me
If you had to do like I do sometimes

All my life
I've waited
For someone
Like you
With a heart of gold
Yes, hey yes
I, I always knew
I knew
You would come my way, hey

All my life, yes
I've waited [Repeat x 2]
For someone like you

I've waited a lifetime,
For someone just like you,
Somebody who will take my hand,
Someone who's warm and true,
Romancing by candlelight,
A touch from you thrills my heart,
Say if you love me and you feel right,
Nothing can keep us apart,

[Chorus:]
All my life I've waited for someone like you,
With a heart of gold,
I always knew you would come my way,
All my life I've waited for some like you,

From now 'til the end of the time,
That's how long I'll be loving you,
Together we will live in paradise,
A paradise made for two,
All my prayers have been answered,
Yes indeed
And my dreams are reality,
I feel complete whenever you're next to me,
So I'm gonna hold on,
I'll never let go, no, no,

[Chorus]

Everyday we'll make sunshine,
Every night like a first time,
Anything that's on your sweet mind,
I'll make it happen for you and only you,
For you I'll do anything
Just keep it real
And I'll do the same
'Cause I love you
Ain't no shame I my game,
All my life I waited for you.

Waited for someone like you [Repeat]
I've been waiting someone
Someone [Repeat]
Said I been waitin' [Repeat]
I been waiting
Said I, oh
Said that I can't do it without ya
I can'd do it without ya

Baby, I love you
Said I need you
I love you
I love you
I need you

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

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

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

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

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

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus: x 2]
