“E=MC²” (2008)

“Migrate”
(feat. T-Pain)

Bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce
Keep it movin… Bounce
Keep it movin… Bounce
Keep it movin… Bounce
Keep it movin… Bounce

Once again nothin’ jumpin’ up in yo place,
Sick of your berry buzzin’ all in my face,
Way too much to tolerate,
Time to roll,
Y’all know I gots to migrate.

Speed dial connecting me to Rae-Rae (Hey)
Click in Shawntae and Mae-Mae (Hey)
Treat it as a holiday,
Cause he’s a wrap,
Y’all know I had to migrate.

See I’m on my way home,
Cause my jeans, yeah they fit,
But it might benefit
Me to throw something on,
To feature my hips,
Accentuate my ****
And steal the show.

Soon as we walk through the door,
Fellas be grabbin’ at us like yo,
Tryin’ to get us going off the Patron,
We sippin’ Grigio… slow.

If your neck and your wrist coordinate,
Hair braided or faded okay,
We can move this back to my place,
It’s time to migrate.

From my car into the club we migrate,
From the bar to V.I.P. we migrate,
From the party to the after party, migrate,
After party to hotel, migrate.

As we proceed getting buzzed,
The envious ones,
Hatin’ but they can’t take they eyes off us,
But we don’t see none of that,
They playin’ my jam,
And the floor is packed,
So ya’ll need to migrate up out the door.

We clickin’ glasses,
Compliments of the club,
Raise they status,
So you know they show us love,
Everywhere we go,
They gon’ flock,
Them boys migrate to where it’s hot.
(It’s hot, it’s hot)

Soon as we walk through the door,
Fellas be grabbin’ at us like yo,
Tryin’ to get us going off the Patron,
We sippin’ Grigio… slow.

If you’re inked up, thuggin’
That’s what I like,
Face body and Lamborghini outside,
Obviously boy you’re qualified,
Otherwise, migrate.

From my car into the club we migrate,
From the bar to V.I.P. we migrate,
From the party to the after party, migrate,
After party to hotel, migrate.

[T-Pain Rap]
This is where it begins
And ends at the very same time,
T-Pain the main man of the hour,
Got a flow that’ll flex yo tire,
Got stacks plus I’m back with Mariah.
[Mariah laughs]

We stay down like four flats on a cadillac,
Back to the back, we fall flat (girl),
Make you feel like doin a dance, i’m gonna pull up my pants c’mon back (girl)

But I gotta migrate to bar,
From the bar to the flo’,
From the flo’ to the car,
From the car to the crib,
Then back to the club,
We can migrate it all night,
And mini coupe sittin on dubs.

Whatcha waitin’ on,
I can’t stand in one place,
I need that Patron and I,
Hate when I don’t get it my way,
So don’t wait for me to buy drinks,
Or you gon’ dehydrate,
It’s time to migrate.

Soon as I’m walkin’ through the door,
They know I’m from the 8-5-0,
I need three bottles of that Patron,
I can make the Chevrolet grease up slow,
If your … and your … coordinate,
Tell it to me like it ain’t OK,
We can move this back to my place,
Shawty best believe, it’s time to migrate.

Soon as we walk through the door,
Fellas be grabbin’ at us like yo,
Tryin’ to get us going off the Patron,
We sippin’ Grigio… slow.

If you’re inked up, thuggin’
That’s what I like,
Face body and Lamborghini outside,
Obviously boy you’re qualified,
Otherwise, Migrate.
(Bye)

Keep it movin… Bounce
Keep it movin… Bounce
Keep it movin… Bounce
Keep it movin… Bounce

“Touch My Body”

MC, you’re the place to be
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

I know that you’ve been waiting for it
I’m waiting too
In my imagination I’d be all up on you
I know you got that fever for me
Hundred and two
And boy I know I feel the same
My temperature’s through the roof

[Chorus:]
If there’s a camera up in here
Then it’s gonna leave with me
When I do (I do)
If there’s a camera up in here
Then I’d best not catch this flick
On YouTube (YouTube)
‘Cause if you run your mouth and brag
About this secret rendezvous
I will hunt you down
‘Cause they be all up in my bidness
Like a Wendy Interview
But this is private
Between you and I

Touch my body
Put me on the floor
Wrestle me around
Play with me some more
Touch my body
Throw me on the bed
I just wanna make you feel
Like you never did.
Touch my body
Let me wrap my thighs
All around your waist
Just a little taste
Touch my body
Know you love my curves
Come on and give me what I deserve
And touch my body.

Boy you can put me on you
Like a brand new white tee
I’ll hug your body tighter
Than my favorite jeans
I want you to caress me
Like a tropical breeze
And float away with you
In the Caribbean Sea

[Chorus]

I’m gonna treat you like a teddy bear
You won’t wanna go nowhere
In the lap of luxury
Baby just turn to me
You won’t want for nothing boy
I will give you plenty
Touch my body

Oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah
Oh yeah oh yeah
Oh oh oh oh yeah
Touch my body…

“Cruise Control”
(feat. Damian Marley)

Walkin’ on the wild side
Crusin for a goal
Baby baby baby, i’m out of control

Singin with the lampstands,
Hairdryer on the hair
Dancin on the light floor
Watching you over there

Its a ladies night
And i know it gon’ be hot
Im’a gon bump and grind, and rock and roll
SEE ARE YOU EYE ESS EE CONTROL.
Bump and grind (SEEARE YOU EYE ESS EE)
Cruise control
Bump and Grind

With cruise control

Handle on da gearstick, flickin’ it slow
Baby i’ll be your gurlfriend so be lettin’ me know
Later on at night i’ll be tellin you soo
When you watch me on the dancefloor rockin it slow

Its a ladies night
And i know it gon’ be hot
I’ma bump and grind and rock and roll
Baby Baby, throw me
C.R.U.I.S.E CONTROL

Oh Oh Oh yeah
Oo Oo Oo oh yeah

“I Stay In Love”

Oh baby
Baby, I stay in love with you

Dying inside ’cause I can’t stand it
Make or break up
Can’t take this madness
We don’t even really know why
All I know is baby
I try and try so hard
To keep our love alive

If you don’t know me at this point
Then I highly doubt you ever will
I really need you to give me
That unconditional love I used to feel
It’s a mistake if we just erase it
From our hearts and minds and I know

[Chorus:]
We said let go
But I kept on hanging on
Inside I know it’s over
You’re really gone
It’s killing me
’cause there ain’t nothing
That I can do
Baby, I stay in love with you
And I keep on telling myself
That you’ll come back around
And I try to front like “Oh well”
Each time you let me down
See I can’t get over you now
No matter what I do
But baby, baby
I stay in love with you

Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
Baby, I stay in love with you

It cuts so deep
It hurts down to my soul
My friends tell me
I ain’t the same no more
We still need each other
When we stumble and fall
How we gonna act
Like what we had
Ain’t nothin’ at all now

Hey, what I wanna do is
Ride shotgun next to you
With the top down like we used to
Hit the block
Proud in the SUV
We both know our heart is breaking
Can we learn from our mistakes
I can’t last one moment alone
Now go I know

[Chorus x2]

I stay in love
Love
Oh, I stay in love.

“Side Effects”
(feat. Young Jeezy)

[Young Jeezy:]
It’s M.C. and Y.J.
Another hit, OK
We lookin’ fly, takin’ off
Saw us on a runway
On any given Sunday,
Monday, Tuesday
They try to confuse me,
I never let ‘em use me

I was a girl, you was a man
I was too young to understand
I was naïve, I just believed
Everything that you told me
Said you were strong, protecting me
Then I found out that you were weak
Keepin’ me there, under your thumb
’cause you were scared that I’d become much
More than you could handle,
Shining like a chandelier
That decorated every room inside
The private hell we built,
And I dealt with it
Like a kid I wished I could fly away

But instead, I kept my tears inside
’cause I knew if I started I’d keep crying
For the rest of my life with you
I finally built up the strength to walk away
Don’t regret it but I still live with the side effects

[Chorus:]
Waking up scared some nights still dreaming ’bout them violent times?
Still little protective ’bout the people that I let inside
Still little defensive thinkin’ ’bout me tryin’ to run my life
Still little depressed inside, I fake a smile and deal with the side effects (oh, oh)
Side effects (oh, oh)
Side effects (oh, oh)
Side effects (oh, oh)

Vacant inside, no one was there
Couldn’t be real, had to keep quiet
Once in awhile, put up a fight
It’s just too much, night after night
After awhile I would just lie,
You was dead wrong, said you was right
Did what I could, just to survive
Couldn’t believe this was my life,
Flickering like a candle
Doin’ my best to handle sleeping with the enemy
Aware that he was smothering every last part of me
So I broke away and finally found the strength to leave

Still kept the tears inside
’cause I knew if I started I’d keep crying
For the rest of my life with you
I finally built up the strength to walk away
Don’t regret it but I still live with the side effects

[Chorus]

Hey, hey, hey
Let’s go!

[Young Jeezy:]
Hey magnifico or should I say magnificent?
Ain’t nothing worth your happiness
And I ain’t caring who you’re with
Misery loves company so we ain’t tryin’ to hang with you all
Hurt you if you let ‘em in
Gotta keep you sucker smilin’
Keep tryin’ to play
I tell him I ain’t blowin’ though
Think they want me outta here,
I tell ‘em I ain’t goin’ though
Side effects be drowsiness,
Loneliness,
How is this?
I think the call it hateration,
What can you prescribe for this?

Forgive but I can’t forget,
Every day I deal with this
I live with the side effects
But I ain’t gonna let them get the best of me

Kept my tears inside
’cause I knew if I started I’d keep crying
For the rest of my life with you
I finally built up the strength to walk away
Don’t regret it but I still live with the side effects

[Chorus]

“I’m That Chick”

Take this seriously
Like Pac, all eyes on me
That’s right you are intrigued,
I’m that chick you like.

You know this
What it be,
I’m like the lottery,
Hot Bentley with the keys,
Take me for a ride.

Light in the sky, let’s fly high,
Boy I got you caught up inside of my haze,
And you’re gonna be gone for days

I’m like that ooo weee,
You’re fiendin to blaze up,
And taste me,
Got flavor like ice cream,
‘Cause I’m that chick you like.

And you know you need this man,
And you know I got this man,
Gonna be your everything,
I’m that chick you like.

La da da ooh we-ee
I’m that chick you like.
La da da ooh we-ee
I’m that chick you like.

I do’s it naturally
Hypnotize like Biggie,
But you ain’t havin’ dreams,
I’m that chick you like.

Nah you ain’t seeing things,
Or hallucinating,
I brings that levity,
Take me for a ride.

Light in the sky let’s fly high,
Boy I got you caught up inside of my haze,
And you’re gonna be gone for days

I’m like that ooo weee,
You’re fiendin to blaze up,
And taste me,

Got flavor like ice cream,
‘Cause I’m that chick you like.

And you know you need this man,
And you know I got this man,
Gonna be your everything,
I’m that chick you like.

La da da ooh we-ee
I’m that chick you like.
La da da ooh we-ee
I’m that chick you like.

Boy just relax,
And unwind,
Pull me in and
Breathe, once you do,
There ain’t no rules,
It’s up to you
Ain’t no rules,
It’s time.

Just keep on kissin’ me,
Hold on and baby we
Could party all night through the night
All right

I’m like that ooo weee,
You’re fiendin to blaze up,
And taste me,
Got flavor like ice cream,
‘Cause I’m that chick you like.

And you know you need this man,
And you know I got this man,
Gonna be your everything,
I’m that chick you like.

La da da ooh we-ee
I’m that chick you like.
La da da ooh we-ee
I’m that chick you like.

I’m like that uptown haze,
Them real thugs blaze,
We’ll touch the sky,
‘Cause I’m that chick you like.

“Love Story”

Ay bay it won’t end, won’t end, won’t end

Let’s talk about love

This is my love story

Boy meets girl and looks in her eyes
Time stands still and two hearts catch fire
Off they go rollercoaster ride
Up & down and around…
Twisted all out they minds
And then his friends
Said “its too soon to settle down”
And then her friends
Said “he’s a playa, slow it down”
They couldn’t be who they was
Cause it just seemed like love
Wasn’t on they side
But this isn’t …

Just another love story
Together we’ll make history
I know because it’s just too real
They’ll be no end to our love story
And this ain’t gon end up
Like that Casablanca movie…no
This ain’t no fairy tale or fiction
This is truly
Ours for the eternity
They’ll be no end to our love story
Baby…

Chapter two…
When they meet up again
Second time around
See but they’re just friends
But the feelings still strong
And it’s been too long
To be trippin’ like they ain’t been missing
They on the phone like
Ay bay bay
Let’s meet up today
Gots bout an hour or two
You might as well come thru

We can make it like it was
Just the two of us
Back up on that rollercoaster
Like we been supposed to
Cause this isn’t

Just another love story
Together we’ll make history
I know because it’s destiny
They’ll be no end to our love story
And this ain’t gon end up
Like that Casablanca movie…no
This ain’t no fairy tale or fiction
This is truly
Ours for the eternity
They’ll be no end to our love story
Baby…

Just when it seemed
Like all the odds
Were stacked against them
They came back stronger then before
Matter fact then some
Stronger then pride
Lookin’ like them
Lookin’ like her, lookin’ like him
Stronger then hate
And the whole world too
Lookin’ like me
Lookin’ like you

Cause this isn’t just another love story
Together we’ll make history
I know because it’s destiny
They’ll be no end to our love story
And this ain’t gon end up
Like that Casablanca movie…no
This ain’t no fairy tale or fiction
This is truly
Ours for the eternity
They’ll be no end to our love story
Baby…
Ay bay bay it won’t end, won’t end, won’t end

“I’ll Be Lovin’ U Long Time”

I’ll be lovin

You ain’t even gotta worry
About a thing I gotcha babe
And ain’t nobody takin’ me away

Just close the door
And let’s explore each other

Don’t care what no one has to say
They don’t understand us like we do
I need you near me night and day
Together there ain’t nothin’ we can’t do
Scoop me up and we can go
To that little spot where no one knows
Spend a little time just us alone
You can caress my body and never let go

I don’t want another
Ain’t gon’ never be another
Can’t nobody do what you do to me
Don’t want another
Ain’t gon’ never be another
Can’t nobody do what you do to me
Don’t want another
Ain’t gon’ never be another
Can’t nobody do what you do to me

I’ll be loving u long time (as I can be)
I’ll be loving u long time (eternally)
Long as I know you got me
I’ll be loving u long time (as I can be)

“Last Kiss”

Baby I know this, know this, know this
Aint gon’ be our last kiss, last kiss, last kiss
Aint gon’ be our last kiss, last kiss, last kiss

Feel so empty inside
Since our last kiss goodbye
Picture you in my mind
And I can’t seem to rationalize
The way we let it end
It just don’t make no sense
This can’t be happening
I need you back again

Everybody asking questions
Like we’re some kind of obsession
For the millionth time asking I’m like
“Uhh let it rest”
Can i get a minute to breathe
They’re like “Nope,
What’s up with you and so-so?”

But in my heart I know this
Ain’t gon’ be our last kiss
It’s too big we just can’t quit
What you think this is
Our love will always exist
Oh listen to me

Boy you know we trill
So stop frontin’
What we got is still
Somethin’ somethin’
Oh this feeling it’s too good to miss
And ain’t no kiss gon’ ever be our last kiss

Ooh you said you’d never leave me
So I’ll keep believing
That eventually
We gon’ kiss away the hurt
Do it like it were
And wake up how we used to be

Never let it go, get it right
Bring it back home, stay for life
Call it what you want, it’s in your eyes
We gon’ make it thru this i’ll prove it
Somethin’ bout our love
Will not fade away
Always everlasting and

In my heart I know this
Ain’t gon’ be our last kiss
It’s too big we just can’t quit
What you think this is
Our love will always exist
Oh listen to me

Boy you know we trill
So stop frontin’
What we got is still
Somethin’ somethin’
Oh this feeling it’s too good to miss
And ain’t no kiss gon’ ever be our last kiss

Baby I know this, know this, know this
Aint gon’ be our last kiss, last kiss, last kiss
Aint gon’ be our last kiss, last kiss, last kiss

In my heart I know this
Ain’t gon’ be our last kiss
It’s too big we just can’t quit
What you think this is
Our love will always exist
Oh listen to me

Boy you know we trill
So stop frontin’
What we got is still
Somethin’ somethin’
Oh this feeling it’s too good to miss
And ain’t no kiss gon’ ever be our last kiss

“Thanx 4 Nothin’”

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Thanx for nothin’

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
You were just playin’ a game

I can’t even know what to say
I’ve been hurt I’ve been played
And I’m so shamed
I can’t even cry it’s that deep
You just lie and you cheat
Like it’s nothin’

See you said that you loved me too
And so I trusted you
But I guess that subconciously I knew
But I didn’t wanna face the truth
That I was only being used
And you was just frontin’
Hey boy, thanx for nothin’

I never knew enough about you babe
And I guess I only have myself to blame
Now I’m broken-hearted and shattering
Cause you were just playin’ a game

Nothin’ anyone could do to convince me babe
I was livin’ in a lie just a masquerade
Now I only know that I’ll never be the same
But you were just playin’ a game

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Thanx for nothin’

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
You were just playin’ a game

Every day and every night
I stay by the phone
Never go no place so just in case
You call I’ll be home
Seems like what I do is
Think about our pseudo romance
While you’re somewhere burnin’ diesel
In the streets havin’ laughs

Somebody say you know what I’m going thru
You been left with nothin’ too
Too much you can’t count on one hand
Singing 3,4,5,6
7 days a week you’re drowning in tears
He was so insincere
Now you’re layin’ up in bed
Every night singing
Hey boy, thanx for nothin’

I never knew enough about you babe
And I guess I only have myself to blame
Now I’m broken hearted and shattering
Cause you were just playin’ a game
Nothin’ anyone could to convince me babe
I was living in a lie just a masquerade
Now I only know that I’ll never be the same
But you were just playin’ a game

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
So thanx for nothin’

True lover that make you O.O.C.

Even though I’ve been gone for a minute

“For The Record”

For the record
You oughta know
You wasn’t thinking
When you let me go

But whatever
That’s how it goes
Win some you lose some
And others you hold in your heart

Why it gets so hard
Tears you all apart
Even though you try to let go
No, no, no

Suddenly you’re here
And it’s so surreal
And I don’t know
What the deal

Cause when I’m looking in your eyes
Feels like the first time
Give me one good reason why
We can’t just press rewind
I don’t wanna spend my life
Thinking what it could’ve been like
If we had another try (one time)
Like back in the day
That look on your face
Feels like, the first time

Them other irregularities
They can’t compete with MC
The whole entire world can tell
That you love yourself some me

People see ya know
Asking all about
Me and how they always thought we
Were so perfect together

Let’s re-write the end
Start over again
And it’s gon go better now

For the record
You’ll always be a part of me
No matter what you do
And for the record
Can’t nobody say
I didn’t give my all to you

And for the record
I told you underneath the stars
That you belong to me
For the record
It’s obvious that
We just can’t let go of us, honey

For the record, baby
Now you know, baby

“Bye Bye”

This is for my peoples who just lost somebody
Your best friend, your baby, your man, or your lady
Put your hand way up high
We will never say bye (no, no, no)
Mamas, daddies, sisters, brothers, friends and cousins
This is for my peoples who lost their grandmothers
Lift your head to the sky ’cause we will never say bye

As a child there were them times
I didn’t get it but you kept me in line
I didn’t know why you didn’t show up sometimes
On Sunday mornings, and I missed you
But I’m glad we talked through
All them grown folk things
Separation brings
You never let me know it
You never let it show because
You loved me and obviously
There’s so much more left to say
If you were with me today face to face

[Chorus:]
I never knew I could hurt like this
And everyday life goes on like
“I wish I could talk to you for awhile”
Miss you but I try not to cry
As time goes by
And it’s true that you’ve reached a better place
Still I’d give the world to see your face
And I’m right here next to you
But it’s like you’re gone too soon
Now the hardest thing to do is say bye bye

(Bye Bye [3x])
Bye bye

And you never got the chance to see how good I’ve done
And you never got to see me back at number one
I wish that you were here to celebrate together
I wish that we could spend the holidays together

I remember when you used to tuck me in at night
With the Teddy Bear you gave to me that I held so tight
I thought you were so strong
You’d make it through whatever
It’s so hard to accept the fact you’re gone forever

[Chorus]

(bye bye bye bye bye bye [3x])
Bye bye

[Chorus]

“I Wish You Well”

This goes out to you and you and you
You know who you are

Hmm hmm hmm
When glory days turn to stormy nights
You must have been so petrified
Didn’t you, didn’t you feel so cold
You against the world in a losing fight
Captive of your demons inside

So you sought an enemy
(I’m not your enemy. He lives in you, you know it’s true)
Like times before to mock ignorantly
(But the Lord said love, love your enemy so just…)
Take heed to the Word it’s time
Check Proverbs 19:29
Don’t cry

I wish you well
I wish you well
I wish you well

I truly wanted solidarity
Still wearing my blinders back then
(So much I didn’t see)
I weep for what I dreamed we all could be
I’ll keep you in prayer till the end

Still bruised, still walk on eggshells
Same frightened child, hide to protect myself
(Can’t believe I still need to protect myself from you)
But you can’t manipulate me like before
Examine first John chapter 4 verse 4

And
I wish you well
I wish you well
I wish you well

Be strong in the Lord and power of His might

If my shows of gratitude are miniscule
Inside your mind, sorry
(I’m so sorry, please forgive me)
There’s only so much I can do I love you and did all that I could

Maybe when you’re cursing me
You don’t feel so incomplete
But we’ve all made mistakes
Felt the guilt and self-hate

I know you’ve been there for me plenty
Maybe still got love for me
But let him without sin cast the first stone brethren
But who remains standing then
Not you not I see Phillipians 4:9
(Put it into practice and the God of Peace will be with you)

So
I wish you well
I wish you well
I wish you well

(He who the Son sets free is free indeed)
No weapon formed against me shall prosper
Surely God is my salvation
I will trust and not be afraid
The Lord, the Lord is my salvation
I will trust in Him
Yes, I know that I know that I know that I know

But I have had God’s help to this very day
And so I stand here and testify
To small and great alike
So the more you curse me
The more you’re blessing me
The Word said it
Love your enemies

Do good to those who curse you
Pray for those who mistreat you
Psalms 129:2
They have greatly oppressed me from my youth
But they have not gained victory over me
(In Jesus’ name)

I wish you well

He that keeps his mind state on the Lord
He will keep them in perfect peace

It’s Like That
by Mariah Carey, Jermaine Dupri

Jermaine Dupri:
This is
The point when I need everybody get to the dance floor
It’s like that y’all, that y’all
Da da da da, I like that y’all
It’s like that y’all, that y’all
Like da da da da, I like that y’all

Mariah:
I came to have a party
Open up the Bacardi
Feeling so hot tamale
Boy I know you watchin’ me
So what’s it gonna be
Purple taking me higher
I’m lifted and I like it
Boy you got me inspired
Baby come and get it
If you’re really feeling me

‘Cause it’s my night
No stress, no fights
I’m leaving it all behind
No tears, no time to cry
Just making the most of life

Everybody is living it up
All the fellas keep looking at us
Me and my girls on the floor like what
While the DJ keeps on spinning the cut
It’s like that y’all, that y’all
It’s like da da da da, I like that y’all
It’s like that y’all, that y’all
It’s like da da da da, I like that y’all

You like this and you know it
Caution it’s so explosive
Them chickens is ash and I’m lotion
Baby come and get it
Let me give you what you need
It’s a special occasion
Mimi’s emancipation
A cause for celebration
I ain’t gonna let nobody’s drama bother me

‘Cause it’s my night
No stress, no fights
I’m leaving it all behind
No tears, no time to cry
Just making the most of life

Fatman Scoop:
Let’s Go Now, Let’s Go Now
Here we go now, Here We Go Now
Let’s Go Now, Let’s Go Now
Here we go now, Here we go now
Let’s Go Now, Let’s Go Now
Here we go now, Here we go now

We belong together

I didn’t mean it
When I said I didn’t love you so
I should have held on tight
I never should’ve let you go
I did nothing
I was stupid
I was foolish
I was lying to myself
I could not fathom that I would ever
Be without your love
Never imagined I’d be
Sitting here beside myself

I didn’t know you
I didn’t know me
But I thought I knew everything
I never felt
The feeling that I’m feeling now
Now that I don’t
Hear your voice
Or even touch or even kiss your lips
Cause I don’t have a choice
What I wouldn’t give
To have you lying by my side

We belong together
When you left
I lost a part of me
It’s still so hard to believe
Come back baby please
We belong together

Who else am I gonna lean on
When times get rough
Who’s gonna talk to me
Till the sun comes up
Who’s gonna take your place
Baby nobody else
We belong together

I can’t sleep at night
When you’re all on my mind
Bobby Womack’s on the radio
Singing to me
‘If you think you’re lonely now’
Wait a minute
This is too deep, too deep
I gotta change the station
So I turn the dial
Trying to catch a break
And then I hear Babyface

I only think of you
And it’s breaking my heart
I’m trying to keep it together
But I’m falling apart
I’m feeling all out of my element
I’m throwing things
Crying
Trying to figure out
Where the hell I went wrong
The pain reflected in this song
Ain’t even half of what
I’m feeling inside
I need you
Need you back in my life baby

When you left
I lost a part of me
It’s still so hard to believe
Come back baby please
We belong together

Who else am I gonna lean on
When times get rough
Who’s gonna talk to me
Till the sun comes up
Who’s gonna take your place
There ain’t nobody else
We belong together

Shake it off

[chorus]
I goota shake you off
Cause the loving ain’t the same
And you keep on playing games
Like you know I’m here to stay
I gotta shake you off
Just like the Calgon commercial
I really gotta get up outta here
And go somewhere
I gotta shake you off
Gotta make that move
Find somebody who
Appreciates all the love I give
Boy I gotta shake you off
Gotta do what’s best for me
Baby and that means I gotta
Shake you off

By the time you get this message
It’s gonna be too late
So don’t bother paging me
Cause I’ll be on my way
See I grabbed all my diamonds and clothes
Just ask your momma she knows
You’re gonna miss me baby
Hate to say I told you so
Well at first I didn’t know
But now it’s clear to me
You would cheat with all your freaks
And lie compulsively
So I packed up my Louis Vuitton
Jumped in your ride and took off
You’ll never ever find a girl
Who loves you more than me

[chorus]
I gotta shake you off
Cause the loving ain’t the same
And you keep on playing games
Like you know I’m here to stay
I gotta shake you off
Just like the Calgon commercial
I really gotta get up outta here
And go somewhere
I gotta shake you off
Gotta make that move
Find somebody who
Appreciates all the love I give
Boy I gotta shake you off
Gotta do what’s best for me
Baby and that means I gotta
Shake you off

[bridge]
I gotta shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it
Off…

I found out about a gang
Of your dirty little deeds
With this one and that one
By the pool, on the beach, in the streets
Heard y’all was
Hold up my phone’s breakin’ up
I’ma hang up and call the machine right back
I gotta get this off of my mind
You wasn’t worth my time
I’ve leaving you behind
Cause I need a real love in my life
Save this recording because
I’m never coming back home
Baby I’m gone
Don’t cha know

[chorus]
I gotta shake you off
Cause the loving ain’t the same
And you keep on playing games
Like you know I’m here to stay
I gotta shake you off
Just like the Calgon commercial
I really gotta get up outta here
And go somewhere
I gotta shake you off
Gotta make that move
Find somebody who
Appreciated all the love I give
Boy I gotta shake you off
Gotta do what’s best for me
Baby and that means I gotta
Shake you off

[bridge]

Mine again

I remember when you used to be mine
Way back when
I was too na?ve to love you right
But now if I only had the opportunity
I would do anything
Because my heart still believes

[chorus]
Maybe you could be mind again
Maybe we could make that dream for real
Like way back then
When love was yours and mine
Maybe we could bring it back to life

It’s irrelevant to dwell on the past
I’m accountable for what went bad
And I mean that
But I keep on praying for another chance
Just to have you back
Cause I’ve grown
And I know how to be your everything

[chorus]
Maybe you could be mind again
Maybe we could make that dream for real
Like way back then
When love was yours and mine
Maybe we could bring it back to life

No, no it ain’t over yet
I just can’t accept the possibility
We weren’t made for each other’s arms
I know you’re my destiny
We can’t erase what was meant to be
Part of you and part of me
If we try one more time
Maybe somehow we’ll survive

Maybe you could be mine again
Maybe we could make that dream for real
Like way back then
When love was yours and mine
Boy maybe we could bring it back
Maybe we could bring it back
Maybe we could bring it back to…
Life
Maybe you could be mine

Say Something

Watching me too
Both painting pictures of
Of how we’ll kiss and hug

So what we gonna do?
(So what ya gonna do? What ya gonna do?)
Tell me why we’re standing here
(Tell me, tell me, tell me)
The moment’s passion’s all so clear
You’ve got my mind blown
And baby, I’m ready to go

Hey, but uhh
If it’s worth your while
Say something, say something
If it’s worth your while
Say something good to me
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey
If it’s worth your while
Do something good to me

(Let’s make it)
Hot as you can stand it
Something like volcanic
You know it seems organic
Just like the stars and planets
Yeah, we are
So what you gonna do?
(So what ya gonna do? What ya gonna do?)

Tell me why we’re still in here
(Tell me, tell me, tell me)
There’s nothing for us to fear
I could tell with my eyes closed
That baby, I’m ready to go

Ah.. (let’s go) hey

Do something good to me

Snoop Dogg:
Everytime I fall though
Want me to speak on the word or two
It’s the D-O-double-G
And I do it so lovingly
Diggin’ this track by the Neptunes
Babygirl, follow me to the west room
Now get buck wild
Shhh, don’t make a sound
I’ll take you, lay you down
Make your body go round and round
Do you want me to?
Don’t say you won’t
I know you do
Most girls play shy
It won’t hurt until you give it a try
I know you like my smile
Dig my style, dig the bow-wow

But uhh
If it’s worth your while
Say something, say something
Say something good
If it’s worth your while
Say something good to me
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey
If it’s worth your while
Do something good to me

If it’s worth your while
Say something, say something
Say something baby
If it’s worth your while
Say something good to me
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey
If it’s worth your while
Do something good to me

Stay the night

You’re kissing me
And saying I’m the one you need
To keep you warm
And lay with you tonight
Baby I feel the same way
I don’t want to leave
Wanna hold you close
And feel your love inside
But I don’t wanna play myself
Cause I know you’re with someone else
And I don’t need complications in my life
And I don’t wanna fall back in
And get caught up in you again
Boy I’m so conflicted in my mind

[chorus]
You keep saying stay the night
Just let me rock you till the morning light
It’s cold outside
And much too late to drive
You know I need you baby
I’m so lost without your love

Obviously, procrastinating just to be
Close to you a little longer now
It’s hard for me to break away from you baby
Never could resist you
And I still haven’t learned how
And I don’t wanna be a fool
But it’s hard when it comes to you
And I’m feeling vulnerable tonight
Cause I don’t wanna miss the chance
Of reliving our sweet romance
Boy I’m so confused down deep inside

[chorus]
You keep saying stay the night
Just let me rock you til the morning light
It’s cold outside
And much too late to drive
You know I need you baby
I’m so lost without your love

Get Your Number (Jermaine Dupri)

[chorus]
Oh damn
The club ’bout to close in a minute
Can I get your number baby
So you and I can go get in it
Let me come and pick you up
And go take you out
Can I get your number baby
So I can show you what I’m all about
What I’m all about
Damn

I’ve been checkin’ you out
And I noticed that you ain’t just one of the crowd
So tell me won’t you
Come on and see about me baby
I’ve got the Crys on ice and I’m ’bout to get nice
Up in VIP with all my ladies
Tell me how many times in your life
Will you get an opportunity like this tonight
Tell me a little somethin’ about you
Here’s a little somethin’ about me
I got a house in Capri and my own G4
And that Benz with the doors that life up from the floor

Now that you’re sitting next to me
I bet you’re wondering
What my intentions are for you
And I to get into
Baby I just wanna
Hug and kiss and love ya
Look into my eyes baby don’t be shy
Is it yes or no
We ain’t got all night
Tell me how many times in your life
Will you get an opportunity like this tonight
Tell me a little somethin’ about you
Here’s a little somethin’ about me
I gotta PIP penthouse with a sick hot tub
We can watch the flat screen
While the bubbles fill it up

La, la, la, la, la, la

One and Only (Twista)

I’m lookin’ for my one and only
Every time I turn around
I find my heart in pieces on the ground
So so lonely
I’m lookin’ for my one and only

I’m riding home in pain again baby
But that don’t mean s*** to you
You’re currently engaged
In an intimate conversation
With a young groupie or two
They say “players only love you
when they’re playing games”
Still I gave my heart to you
I should have stayed away
Like my friends all told me to

[chorus]
Every time I turn around
I find my heart in pieces on the ground
So so lonely
I’m lookin’ for my one and only
Every time I turn around
I find my heart in pieces on the ground
Why can’t I find my one and only

See I’m looking for a man that’ll rub me slow
Make me sing real high
When he goes down low
But see it ain’t just a physical thing
He’s gotta treat me affectionately
And I gotta know he won’t betray my trust
Just like every other motherf***** does
Is this just an impossible dream baby
To elusive to pursue
It’s been such a sad and windy road for me
Just searchin’ for the truth

Every time—-oh-mmm
Every time I turn around
I find my heart in pieces on the ground
So so loney
Why—
I’m looking for my one and only
Every time I turn around
Agh—ha ha ha ha
I find my heart in pieces on the ground
Whey can’t I find my one and only
Still lookin’ for my one and only
Every time I turn around
Agh—ha ha ha ha
I find my heart in pieces on the ground
So so lonely
Yay-
I’m lookin’ for my one and only
I’m lookin’ for my one and only
Every time I turn around
Agh-ha ha ha ha
I find my heart in pieces on the ground
I’m lookin’ for my one and only
Why can’t I find my one and only
Agh–

Circles

Ever since you left me
I’ve been trying to hide the pain
Painting on a smile with lipstick
Putting on a big charade
So difficult to keep pretending
It’s getting harder everyday
It’s plain to see I’m cold and heartsick
Since you turned and walked away
I just keep going round and round
And round in circles
Keep on tumbling down

[chorus]
Oh boy my world has changed
And I don’t think I can make it without out
Nothing’s the same
You got me running around in circles over you
(running around in circles over you)

Saturday I saw you
Holding hands with someone new
Somehow I kept my composure
Just like everything was cool
But inside I kept repeating
Don’t you let them see you cry
So I casually turned my head
As the tears rolled down my eyes
I just keep going round and round
And round in circles
Keep on tumbling down

[chorus]
Oh boy my world has changed
And I don’t think I can make it without you
Nothing’s the same
You got me running around in circles over you

Everything is you
How can I pull through
My heart is consumed I’m so confused
Still caught up in you…love can be so cruel
Baby don’t know how to turn you loose

[chorus]
Oh boy my world has changed
And I don’t think I can make it without you
No, nothing’s the same
You got me running around
And running around
And running around
Nothing’s the same
Baby baby cause you
Got me running around
In circles over you
(running around in circles over you)

Your girl

See, I used to be so shy
Sit at home and fantasize
(I should be your girl)
but I ain’t wastin’ no more time
cause I’ve got to make you mine

[chorus]
I’m gonna make you want to
Get with me tonight
I’m gonna put those naughty
Thoughts into your mind
I’m gonna show you clearly
I can rock your world
You’re gonna know for sure
That I should be your girl

See I used to be afraid
But now baby I can’t wait
I just gotta have your love
And enough’s enough’s enough

Rap

I wish you knew

I’ve got to see you
Wherever you are
And I’ve got to be there
I’m wishing on stars
I’ve got to reveal what’s inside of my heart
But the words escape me
And I’m paralyzed
So helpless when I
Look into your eyes

[chorus]
And how I wish you only knew
What I feel inside for you
You probably haven’t got a clue
But I wish you knew
How I love you baby

Honestly I know it’s silly of me
To want you so badly
But keep it concealed
See my inferiority complex kicks in
And the words escape me
And I’m paralyzed
So helpless when I
Look into your eyes

[chorus]
And how I wish you only knew
What I feel inside for you
You probably haven’t got a clue
But I wish you knew
How I love you baby

To the floor (Nelly)

Because it’s not just that I’m so impressed
By your cars and jewelry

I can’t deny ya, keep tryin’ to fight it

I’m sayin’ I just wanna make sure that
You really want me just for me

Joyride

[Verse 1]
Baby baby don’t you ever let go
More and more until we both overflow
Got a feeling that my heart’s never known
I found love
Tender kisses and I’m floating on air
You can have me anytime, anywhere
When you need me I will always be there
I found love

[Chorus 1]
And our love goes round and round
Way up high, a joy ride
We can touch the stars above
We found love
And our love was heaven sent
From the day we first met
We’ve got something they can’t touch
We found love

[Verse 2]
Loving you is like a taste of heaven
Wanna gaze into your eyes forever
Run away and spend our lives together
I’ve found love
Baby baby
All it takes is one touch
And immediately I feel a rush
Baby boy, too much is never enough
I found love

[Chorus 2]
And our love goes round and round
Way up high, a joy ride
We can touch the stars above
We found love
And our love was heaven sent
From the day we first met
We’ve got something they can’t touch
We found love

[Bridge]
I don’t need anything
When you’re here next to me
Nobody in this whole wide world
Could ever replace you in my eyes
We found paradise
Forever you and I
Our love goes round and round
On a joy ride
(with ya babe, with ya babe,
with ya babe, with you baby)

[Outro]

Fly like a bird

Somehow I know that
There’s a place up above
With no more hurt and struggling
Free of all atrocities and suffering
Because I feel the unconditional love
From one who cares enough for me
To erase all my burdens
And let me be free to

[chorus]
Fly like a bird
Take to the sky
I need you now Lord
Carry me high
Don’t let the world break me tonight
I need the strength of you by my side
Sometimes this life can be so cold
I pray you’ll come and carry me home

Can we recover
Will the world ever be
A place of peace and harmony
With no war and with no brutality
If we loved each other
We would find victory
But in this harsh reality
Sometimes I’m so despondant
That I feel the need to

[chorus]
Fly like a bird
Take to the sky
I need You now Lord
Carry me high
Don’t let the world break me tonight
I need the strength of You by my side
Sometimes this life can be so cold
I pray You’ll come and carry me home

Keep your head to the sky
With God’s love you’ll survive

Fly like a bird
Take to the sky
I need you now Lord
Carry me high
Don’t let the world break me tonight
I need the strength of You by my side

Sometimes this life can be so cold
I pray You’ll come and carry me home
Carry me higher, higher, higher
Carry me higher, higher, higher
Carry me home
Higher Jesus
Carry me higher Lord

Through The Rain

When you get caught in the rain,
With nowhere to run,
When you’re distraught and in pain,
Without anyone.
When you keep crying to be saved,
But nobody comes,
And you feel so far away,
That you just can’t…

Find your way home.
You can get there alone.
It’s okay.
What you say is…

I can make it through the rain.
I can stand up once again.
On my own. And I know,
That I’m strong enough to mend.
And everytime I feel afraid,
I hold tighter to my faith.
And I live one more day,
And I make it through the rain.

And if you keep falling down,
Don’t you dare give in.
! You will arise, safe and sound.
So keep pressing…

On steadfastly,
And you’ll find what you need,
To prevail.
What you say is…

And when the wind blows,
And shadows grow close,
Don’t be afraid.
There’s nothing you can’t face.
And should they tell you,
You’ll never pull through,
Don’t hesitate.
Stand tall and say…

And I can make it through the rain,
And stand up once again.
And I’ll live one more day,
And I, I can make it through the rain.
Oh yes, you can.
You’re gonna make it through the rain.

Boy (I Need You) feat. Cam’Ron

I can’t help it
When I’m not around you (Boy)
‘Cause all I ever seem to
Do is drift away
In dreams about you
‘Cause when I’m without you (Boy)
It always seems like
Part of me is missing baby

Sometimes I don’t call
Like I don’t care at all
But secretly, you’re the only thing
That lifts me up
And makes me smile
When I’m unhappy
All you gotta do is call
And suddenly things don’t really
Seem so bad at all

(Boy) I need you
(Boy) Adore you (Boy)
Gotta have you (Oh boy)
I wanna feel your touch
This ain’t no little crush
So come and get my love
Baby anything you want
Feeling you (Boy)
Fiending for you (Boy)
Just waiting on you (Boy)
When I see you (Oh boy)
I’m gonna wrap you up
Inside my love
And never let you go boy
Never let you go boy

My heart races when
My Motorola beeps
Or my cell rings
I just make a wish and if it’s you
My whole day changes
‘Cause when I know
You’re thinking of me (Boy)
Heaven knows
Suddenly it’s not so dismal baby

I… (What?)
Need… (Who?)
You… (Uh huh, uh huh)
I wanna feel your touch… (Why wouldn’t you)
So come and get my love (Show me where it’s at – now sing)
I… (What?)
Need… (Who?)
You… (Uh huh, uh huh)
I’m gonna wrap you up (Wrap me up)
And never let you go boy
Never let you go boy (Never let me go, girl)

The One

See I’m going through a situation
That I can’t help
Wanna get a little closer
But I promised myself
That I would never give my heart
Away again
Oo oo babe, I know it’s hard
Butcha gotta understand it
The truth is all the hurt and the pain
And the shit that you get
When you have it
Ain’t worth it
I’ve been there so many times
I should know better but I
Can’t stop what I feel
When you’re next to me
I really think I

Finally found somebody
That could be the one
But I promised myself
That I wouldn’t give in to love
And I’m scared
And I’m nervous
Don’t wanna be hurt anymore
This is bad
‘Cause I know that you’re the one

(Baby you’re the one)
(Baby you’re the one)

See the problem with relationships
In general is that it’s always a game
In the beginning they’ll do
Anything to have you
And once they do it’s never the same
And I, know everyone out there can relate
So the question is
One: do I really wanna trust this feeling
Two: do I wanna let it pass me by
Three: do you think it’s only superficial
Four: could it actually be different this time
Someone to love me
Someone to be my everything
Maybe I’ve stumbled upon

Finally found somebody (The only one)
That could be the one
But I promised myself
That I wouldn’t give in to love (No, no)
And I’m scared
And I’m nervous (I just don’t wanna be hurt)
Don’t wanna be hurt anymore
This is bad
‘Cause I know that you’re the one
(But boy I think you might be the one)
Finally found somebody
That could be the one (Maybe I’ve found)
But I promised myself
That I wouldn’t give in to love
And I’m scared
And I’m nervous (Boy I’m so afraid)
Don’t wanna be hurt anymore
This is bad
‘Cause I know that you’re the one
(‘Cause I know you’re the one)

Oh baby
Sweet darling
I
I think I finally found

Finally found somebody (The only one)
That could be the one
But I promised myself
That I wouldn’t give in to love
And I’m scared
And I’m nervous (No)
Don’t wanna be hurt anymore
(I don’t wanna be hurt anymore)
This is bad ’cause I know that you’re the one
(But I think you might really be the one)
Finally found somebody
Could be the one, but I promised myself (Finally found)
That I wouldn’t give in to love
(I promised myself not to give in)
And I’m scared
And I’m nervous
This is bad
(Anymore this is bad)
Don’t wanna be hurt anymore
This is bad
‘Cause I know that you’re the one
(‘Cause I know that you’re the one)
Finally found somebody
Could be the one
(I finally found somebody that could be the one)
But I promised myself
(But I promised myself that I wouldn’t give in to love)
That I wouldn’t give in to love
And I’m scared
(And I’m scared)
And I’m nervous
(And I’m nervous)
Don’t wanna be hurt anymore
This is bad
‘Cause I know that you’re the one
(Please, please baby baby)

You keep me seeing rainbows in the sky
You bring new meaning to my life, now
I believe in miracles baby I’m forever yours, yours

Tender love’s what you’re giving me and
You surpass all my fantasies and
I keep thanking the Lord above for
Blessing me with oh so much

You Got Me feat. Jay Z & Freeway

I get shy around you
Don’t know what to say
I don’t know what to do
‘Cause you do something to me
That I can’t describe baby

Always catch myself thinkin’ ’bout
The things you do
There ain’t no one else
I got my heart set on you
You really got me, baby it’s true

You know you got me
So in love
You know you got me
Daydreamin’ ’bout us
You know you got me
Starry eyed and elated
You know you got me
Whenever you want me baby
You know you got me
Hypnotized
You know you got me
With you on my mind
You know you got me
Feeling intoxicated
You know you got me
Whenever you want me baby

Boy I’m entangled up in you
These feelings I just can’t elude
‘Cause you’re so captivating
That I inadvertantly

Always catch myself thinkin’ ’bout
The things you do
There ain’t no one else
I got my heart set on you
You really got me, baby it’s true

Said I’m insecure when I’m around you
Don’t know what to say or do
Catching feelings boy, in spite of myself
I can’t think of nobody else sugar
You’re the star of all my dreams
I just wanna be your everything
Boy you know you really got me
Baby yeah

I Only Wanted

Doesn’t it ever stay
Must it always fade away
Couldn’t love ever be
Something tangible and real
Farewell, fairweather friend
Abandonment returns to taunt me again

I only wanted you to stay
Linger and mean the words you said
Foolishly I romanticized
Someone was saving my life
For the first time
I only wanted you to be there when I
Opened up my eyes

I was caught in your masquerade
Wish I’d stayed beneath my veil
But it just seemed so easy to
Open up myself to you
Once more into the wind
The embers scatter
And the chill settles in

I only wanted you to stay
Linger and mean the words you said
Foolishly I romanticized
Someone was saving my life
For the first time
I only wanted you to be there when I
Opened up my eyes

Oh
I only wanted you to stay
Linger and mean the words you said
Foolishly I romanticized
Someone was saving my life
For the first time
I only wanted you to be
The one to get me through that night

I only wanted you
To be there when I
Opened up my eyes
Oh
Doesn’t it ever stay?
I only wanted you to
Stay

Clown

I should’ve left it at, how ya doin’
I should’ve left it at
I like your music too, and
I should’ve never called you back
When you pursued me
I should’ve never given you
My f**king two way
I should’ve never listened
To your woeful stories
The ones I’m sure you
Told a thousand times before me
You should’ve never intimated
We were lovers
When you know very well
We never even touched each other

Who’s gonna love you when
It all falls down, and
Who’s gonna love you when
Your bankroll runs out
Who’s gonna care when the novelty’s over
When the star of the
Show isn’t you anymore
Nobody cares when the tears of a clown
Fall down…
Nobody cares when the tears of a clown
Fall down

I gotta break it to ya delicately, dunny
Takin’ my g5 twenty minutes wasn’t nothin’
But I guess you wouldn’t know
That’s the way I roll
Consequently now your ego’s fully
Overblown
You don’t want the world to know
That you’re just a puppet show
And the little boy inside
Often sits at home alone
And cries, cries, cries, cries
(Boo hoo. Who?)

Who’s gonna love you
When it all falls down, and
Who’s gonna love you
When your bankroll runs out
(When your bankroll runs out)
Who’s gonna care when the novelty’s over
When the star of the
Show isn’t you anymore
Nobody (Nobody)

Your pain is so deep rooted
What will your life become
Sure you hide it
But you’re lost and lonesome
Still just a frail shook one

Who’s gonna love you
When it all falls down, and
(Tell me who’s gonna love you? Who? I’d like to know)
Who’s gonna love you when
Your bankroll runs out
(If you didn’t have nothing)
Who’s gonna care when the novelty’s over
(Who, who’d still be there)
When the star of the show isn’t you anymore
(Nobody, nobody, nobody, oh)
Nobody cares when the tears of a clown
(There ain’t nobody baby)
Fall down…
(Bullies in the schoolyard)
(When they fall they fall hard)
Nobody cares when the tears of a clown
(Yeah… so you)
Fall down
(Better think twice, better play nice)
(‘Cause who’s gonna be there)

Who’s gonna love you when it all falls down, and
(When the jokes on you)
Who’s gonna love you when your bankroll runs out
(A marionette show)
Who’s gonna care when the novelty’s over
(Who’s makin’ you move though)
When the star of the show isn’t you anymore
(I know what kills you slow)
Nobody cares when the tears of a clown
(I’m gonna keep your little)
Fall down
(Secret though, mmmm, hmmmm)
(And you know that I know)
Nobody cares when the tears of a clown
(You’re no superhero)
Fall down…
(I guess your mamma never told you that what goes around comes back around. Pow)

My Saving Grace

I’ve still got a lot to learn
But, at least I know where I can turn
When I’m in my times of need
Just as long
(As I know all things are possible)
Just as long as I believe

I’ve loved a lot, hurt a lot
Been burned a lot in my life and times
Spent precious years wrapped up in fear
With no end in sight
Until my saving grace shined on me
Until my saving grace set me free

Giving me peace
Giving me strength when I’d
Almost lost it all
Catching my every fall
I still exist because you keep me safe
I found my saving grace within you

Yes, I’ve been bruised
Grew up confused
Been destitute
I’ve seen life from many sides
Been stigmatized
Been black and white
Felt inferior inside
Until my saving grace shined on me
Until my saving grace set me free

Giving me peace
Giving me strength when I’d
Almost lost it all
Catching my every fall
I still exist because you keep me safe
I found my saving grace within you

And the bountiful things that you do
Lord thank you
For delivering me

And giving me peace
Giving me strength
Giving me hope when I’d
Almost lost it all
Catching my every fall
I still exist because you keep me safe
Always my saving grace
Pulls me through
I found my saving grace within you

(Yes you are – you’re my every, everything)
Within you…
(Only, only you)
Yes lord
(Only you)
My saving grace lord is
You

You Had Your Chance

Well it’s been a while
Since I looked into your eyes
Never dreamed I’d see you tonight
And it’s interesting that I
Just don’t feel a thing
For the so called love of my life

We used to be close
(but you didn’t love me)
We used to be best friends
(but you never really cared)
I let you into my soul
(didn’t know you couldn’t be trusted)
It took me so long to forget
(all the little things we shared)

And now you want me back again
After my heartache and suffering
I was your fool
But that’s all in the past
So sorry boy, but you had your chance

See, I spent so many sleepless nights
Trying to block you from my mind
I was so convinced
I’d die without you once upon a time
Now my eyes are open and I can see
You were devious and shady
Only trifling with me

And now you want me back again
After my heartache and suffering
I was your fool
But that’s all in the past
So sorry boy, but you had your chance

Where were you when I needed you most
Would’ve done anything to hold you close
Would’ve given the world to be back in your arms
But you left me so torn apart

And now you want me back again
After my heartache and suffering
I was your fool
But that’s all in the past
So sorry boy, but you had your chance

Lullaby

Should just hug you goodbye
But I just can’t walk away from paradise
So I guess I’ll sing you that sweet lullaby
And we can revisit us one more time
Yes, I’ll come home with you tonight

Hey boy, what’s going on
Thanks, I’m doing okay
Don’t believe rumours- hey
How’s your family
Please say hello for me
Guess we’ve both grown up a bit
But I have to admit
It really still feels good
Here by your side
Sitting right next to you
Just like I used to do
You know we can’t deny
No one else in our lives
Holds a candle to you and I

Should just hug you goodbye
But I just can’t walk away from paradise
So I guess I’ll sing you that sweet lullaby
And we can revisit us one more time
Yes, I’ll come home with you tonight

I should just hug you goodbye
But I just can’t walk away from paradise
So I guess I’ll sing you that sweet lullaby
And we can revisit us one more time
Yes, I’ll come home with you tonight

So here we are again
All by ourselves
So familiar you know
That it actually almost feels like deja vu
Of that night on the roof
We kissed under the sky amid the city lights
A sudden flashback to so long ago
In the dark all alone
With our bodies this close
Guess some things never change
‘Cause I still melt away
When you touch me
And say my name

Should just hug you goodbye (baby)
But I just can’t walk away from paradise (so I guess)
So I guess I’ll sing you that sweet lullaby
(I’ll come and love you to sleep)
And we can revisit us one more time
(revisit paradise for a while)
Yes, I’ll come home with you tonight (by your side)
(lullaby)

I should just hug you goodbye (see I know I should but boy)
But I just can’t walk away from paradise
(you just look so good)
So I guess I’ll sing you that sweet lullaby
(so I’ll sing that song)
And we can revisit us one more time
(you like to hear me sing as we revisit us)
Yes, I’ll come home with you tonight

(It still feels, feels good, lullaby)

I should just hug you goodbye
(I can’t walk away)
But I just can’t walk away from paradise
(From paradise so I’ll take you home and sing to you baby)
So I guess I’ll sing you that sweet lullaby
And we can revisit us one more time
Yes, I’ll come home with you tonight
(though I know that I should just)

I should just hug you goodbye
(oh I can’t, …cause you)
But I just can’t walk away from paradise
So I guess I’ll sing you that sweet lullaby
(you and I both know)
And we can revisit us one more time
(nobody else in our lives holds a candle to you and I)
Yes, I’ll come home with you tonight

I should just hug you goodbye shhh!
(so hush pretty baby)
But I just can’t walk away from paradise
(mmm, it’s just me and you yeah, as we relive the splendor of you and I)
So I guess I’ll sing you that sweet lullaby
And we can revisit us one more time
Yes, I’ll come home with you tonight
(I’m gonna sing our sweet lullaby)

Irresistible (Remix feat. Westside Connection)

Everytime I try to leave
Something pulls me back baby
Tried and tried to let you go
But it’s just impossible
Everytime we say goodbye
Bitter tear drops fill my eyes
Wish I didn’t need you so
But you’re irresistible

I don’t wanna lose you to somebody else
But I can’t go on contradicting myself
I know that it’s pointless to keep hodling on
But something inside tells me you’re where I belong

I know that it’s unrealistic to think
That things will get better
Between you and me
Cause time after time
You just shatter my heart
But when I’m without you
I feel so torn apart

Boy
I wish
That I didn’t
Love you so
(oh oo oh oo oh oh)
I try to tell you no
But you’re irresistible
(oh oo oh oo whoah oh)

See I only want it to be like it was
When we got together and first fell in love
Sometimes it’s like I’m addicted to you
This love’s so consuming
I don’t know what to do

Everytime I try to leave
Something pulls me back baby
Tried and tried to let you go
But it’s just impossible
Everytime we say goodbye
Bitter tear drops fill my eyes
Wish I didn’t need you so

But you’re irresistible

Subtle Invitation

See it’s hard to tell somebody
That you’re still somewhat
Attached to the dream
Of being in love once again
When it’s clear they’ve moved

So I sat down and wrote these few words
On the off chance you’d hear
And if you happen to be somewhere listening
You should know I’m still here

If you really need me
Baby just reach out and touch me
You don’t ever have to be
Downhearted again
If she hurts you or misleads you
Baby all you ever need to do
Is call me and let love rush in

What can I say, I had a little extra time
So I figured I might as well explain
A couple little things to you
That you probably never knew
Like you’ll always be an intrinsic part of me
Even though life goes on

If you really need me
Baby just reach out and touch me
You don’t ever have to be
Downhearted again
If she hurts you or misleads you
Baby all you ever need to do
Is call me and let love rush in

And in my love will flow
Like the waves to the shore
You can fall into me
Once again effortlessly
And I’ll comfort you so

Your heart won’t hurt anymore
I’m waiting patiently

If you really need me
Baby just reach out and touch me
You don’t ever have to be
Downhearted again
If she hurts you or misleads you
Baby all you ever need to do
(if she hurts you or misleads you) Is call me and let love rush in
(you can just call me baby)
If you really need me (if you really need me baby)
Baby just reach out and touch me(reach reach baby)
(reach, baby)
You don’t ever have to be
(don’t ever hesitate to call me)
Downhearted again
If she hurts you or misleads you(if she hurts you)
(she’s a dam fool)
Baby all you ever need to do
Is call me and let love rush in
(all you gotta do is call me boy, I got you)

If you really need me (yeah:.)
Baby just reach out and touch me
(if you’re listening to me baby)
You don’t ever have to be (like you used to)
Downhearted again
(before I even knew you)
If she hurts you or misleads you
(then you know I’m singing to you)
Baby all you ever need to do
(so I just wanted you to know)
Is call me and let love rush in
(that “anytime you need a friend”)

If you really need me (I’m here)
Baby just reach out and touch me
(you can still believe
You don’t ever have to be in fairy tales)
Downhearted again (yours and mine)
If she hurts you or misleads you
(so if by chance you take a listen)
Baby all you ever need to do
(I’m quite sure you “know is call me and let love rush
In that this one’s for you)
(cause I’m giving “my all”)

Sunflowers For Alfred Roy

Now you’re shining like a, shining like a sunflower up in the sky
Shining like a sunflower up in the sky

Thank you for forgiving
Hurtful things I’ve done as a child
Adolescent or woman
Thank you for embracing a flaxen-haired baby
Although I’m aware you had doubts
I guess anybody’d have had doubts

Please be at peace father
I’m at peace with you
Bitterness isn’t worth cling to
After all the anguish we’ve all been through

Thank you for the mountains
The lake of the clouds
I’m picturing you and me there right now
As the crystal cascades showered down

Strange to feel that proud, strong man
Grip tightly to my hand
Hard to see the life inside
Wane as the days went by
Trying to preserve each word
He murmured in my ear
Watch part of my life disappear

Father, thanks for reaching out and lovingly
Saying that you’ve always been proud of me
I needed to feel that so desperately
You’re always alive inside of me
Now you’re shining like
A sunflower up in the sky
Way up high

Through The Rain (Remix feat. Kelly Price & Joe)

When you get caught
In the pouring rain
With nowhere to run
Without anyone and you
Get a little bit frightened
Cause you’ve lost your way home
But through all the thunder and lightening
Just keep praying and keep
Saying to yourself

Yes I can, yes I can
I’ll make it through the rain
I’ll stand up once again
On my own and I know
That I’m strong and in time
I can mend
When I’m afraid
I hold tighter to my faith
Live another day longer
And I make it through the rain

And if you keep on falling down
Don’t you dare give in
You will arise safe and sound
If you keep pressing on, steadfastly
You’ll have everything you need
Believe you will prevail
If you just say

Yes I can, yes I can
I’ll make it through the rain
I’ll stand up once again
On my own and I know
That i’m strong and in time
I can mend
When I’m afraid
I hold tighter to my faith
Live another day longer
And I make it through the rain

There are times in your life
When you feel like you can’t
Keep going
But keep holding on, keep holding on
There are times in your life when you
Feel like the world all around you
Has shattered, but know that you can’t be broken
Don’t be afraid, stand tall and say

Loverboy Remix (feat. Da Brat, Ludacris, Shawna & Twenty II)
Written by Mariah Carey, Larry Blackmon, Thomas Jenkins, Da Brat, Ludacris, Shawnna, Twenty II

I got myself a lover
Who knows what I like
When he invites me over
I come every time
And when my sugar daddy
Takes me for a ride
Whatever way we go it’s
Delirium time

He’s all mine
And his lovin’ makes me high
Like a taste of ecstasy
All I need is him to be my loverboy

Loverboy c’mon and love me
Give me more, touch me and touch me
I enjoy the way you rock me
All night long
Loverboy c’mon and take me
Only you know how to make me
Shudder with anticipation
All night long

I got myself a lover
And he’s so sublime
It’s quite a bit of heaven
To feel him inside
Cause when my sugar daddy
Takes me for a ride
Whatever way we go
It’s delirium time

I get weak
When his candy kisses sweetly
Caress my whole body
All I need is him to be
My loverboy

Chorus

Lead The Way
Written by Mariah Carey, Walter Afanasieff

Who would’ve believed
That you and me would fall
And land together
And who could’ve foreseen
In you I’d find the place
I’ve belonged forever
And if I move closer
Then love will take over
And lead the way

I’d given up hope
Losing the faith that love
Could be mine to treasure
And now
Nothing’s the same
I found myself reborn
On the day I met you
And if we move closer
Then love will take over
And lead the way

Suddenly you are lying
Here with me and the truths
I used to hold have changed
And if I move closer
And let it take over
Then love will lead the way
And let it take over
Then love will lead the way

If We
Written by Mariah Carey, Damion Young, Jeffrey Atkins, H. Hersh, Nathaniel Hale

Mariah: Oh yeah [kissing sound]
Ja Rule: Yeah
M: I never thought
J: Who would’ve thought baby
M: That I’d be
J: Missin’ you baby
M: Without you
J: I need you baby
M: Why me?
B: Why me?
(Repeat)

Ja Rule:
Love
I want your body next to me
On me actually
Off that ecstasy
Reminiscin’ how we used to smoke and freak
Fuck and fall asleep
Rockin’ for a week
Now we barely even talk and walk the block
Kiss and cuddle up
Girl we losin’ touch
What’s a man to do but go crazy babe
I know you’re mad but you don’t really hate me babe
It’s deeper than that

Mariah:
Now if we got together again
Sugar I will be your very best friend
I will love you unconditionally
You never wanna let me though baby
I promise I will be by your side
Give you everything you need to get by
Now my broken heart will finally mend
Darlin’ if we back together again
Baby if we back together again

Nate Dogg:
Sometimes I close my eyes and just pretend
What if I had a chance to do it all again
Sometimes for happiness we hesitate
Just like the game I hear that love won’t wait
What if I had another best friend
What if I had someone on who I could depend
Someone who makes me feel like you used to
Tell me baby-What would you do?

Mariah (Ja Rule):
Now if we got together again
Sugar I will be your very best friend
I will love you unconditionally
You never wanna let me though baby
I promise I will be by your side
Give you everything you need to get by
Now my broken heart will finally mend
Darlin’ if we back together again

Baby if we got together again (Who would’ve thought baby)
Sugar I will be your very best friend (Missin’ you baby)
I will love you unconditionally (I need you baby)
You never wanna let me though baby (Why me?)
I promise I will be by your side (Who would’ve thought baby)
Give you everything you need to get by (Missin’ you baby)
Now my broken heart will finally mend (I need you baby)
Baby if we back together again (Why me?)

Ja Rule:
Why would you wanna go through the pain of lovin’ another man
Truth is nobody can love you like I can
It’s a damn shame
We can’t get along
We used to get it on
Where’d it all go wrong?
I admit your flesh is sweet but the game is strong
We roll my way your way baby we movin’ on
It’s true gon’ miss you
Who would’ve thought
I’d be without you

M: I never thought
J: Baby there’s nothin’ to lose
M: That I’d be
J: You know my soul’s so cold
M: Without you
J: And my love is pain
M: Why me? Why Me?
J: Hit me one more time
M: I never thought
J: My baby
M: That I’d be
J: Pride and joy
M: Without you
J: I’mma make you mine
M: Why me?
J: Without you you you you

Baby if we got together again (Who would’ve thought baby)
Sugar I will be your very best friend (Missin you baby)
I will love you unconditionally (I need you baby)
You never wanna let me though baby (Why me?)
I promise I will be by your side (Who would’ve thought baby)
Give you everything you need to get by (Missin you baby)

Didn’t Mean To Turn You On
Written by James Harris III, Terry Lewis

Let you take me out
I knew what you were all about
But when I did
I wasn’t tryin’ to lead you on

Now you bring me home
And tell me goodnight’s
Not enough for you
I’m sorry baby
I didn’t mean to turn you on

You read me wrong
I wasn’t trying to lead you on
I want a friend
I didn’t mean to turn you on

I didn’t mean to turn you on

I know you
Expected a one night stand
When I refused
I knew you wouldn’t understand

Boy I told you twice
I was only tryin’ to be nice
Only tryin’ to be nice
Oh
I didn’t mean to turn you on
Oh I didn’t mean to turn you on

Turn you on

Tell me why should I
Feel guilty cause I won’t give
Guilty cause I won’t give in
I didn’t mean to turn you on

(repeat chorus)

You think that I’m a fool
Cause I wouldn’t play by your rules

(I didn’t mean to turn you on)

You don’t stand a chance
All I want to do is dance with you

(I didn’t mean to turn you on)

I told you twice
I was only tryin’ to be nice

(I didn’t mean to turn you on)

I loved you for a friend
But I guess this is the
End of our relationship
Cause I didn’t mean to turn you on

I didn’t mean to turn you on
Sorry.

Mystikal:
It ain’t nothin’ that you can do with the man
Except for shake your a*s clap your hands

So just get out the way and let me do it again
It’s on tonight
I’m known to be more vulgar than the garbage truck sucka
You can’t stop a train
You ain’t got no umbrella so get your a*s out the rain
You ain’t louder than this
I’m like a bowl of gumbo you ain’t hotter than this
I’m what they play in the club
I keep them movin’ till I leave that’s what they payin’ me for
You already know what I do
So have my money and my munchies and my cigars too
I’m known for bringin’ the heat the heat
Ain’t nobody cuttin’ up but MC and MT

And if I ain’t a fool why you can’t keep still sing

All My Life
Written by Rick James

I’ve been waiting for someone to come into my life
Who would bring me joy and give me pleasure
I have taken chances on romances once or twice
And I found that in my heart it’s you I treasure

You and only you can make me feel the way I do
You and only you can make it better
You and only you can do the freaky things you do
And I’m so into you and that’s forever and ever

All my life
My love’s been waiting for you
All my life
My heart’s been waiting too

All my life…

I’ve been wishing on a star
I’ve been praying on my knees
I’ve got some sly and sexy tricks to show you
Most of all I’ll give you anything boy that you need
To keep you right here by my side
I know you
I’ll show you

You and only you can make me feel the way I do
You and only you can make it better
You and only you can do the freaky things you do
And I’m so into you and that’s forever and ever

All my life
My love’s been waiting for you
All my life
My heart’s been waiting too
Don’t you know I need you
And adore you
All my life I’ll give to only you

Reflections (Care Enough)
Written by Mariah Carey, Philippe Pierre

Reflections of your love
Have come to wither
I thought I’d done my best to memorize
A picture fades of you and I together
I haven’t come to terms
With how we said goodbye

Did you really care
Care for me at all
Did you really care
Did you care for me at all

A displaced little girl
Wept years in silence
And whispered wishes you’d materialize
She pressed on night and day
To keep on living
And tried to many ways
To keep her soul alive

Did you really care
Care enough for me
Did you really care
Did you care at all for me

If I’m not quite good enough
Or somehow undeserving of
A mother’s love
You could have had the decency
To give me up
Before you gave me life

Don’t you even care
Just the slightest bit for me
Cause I really need to feel you cared
Even once upon a time for me
I need to believe, in my heart of hearts, you care for me
I need to understand
Why you left me there so helplessly

Don’t you even care
Care at all for me

Reflections of your love
Have come to wither
I thought I’d done my best to memorize

Last Night A DJ Saved My Life
Written by Michael Cleveland

DJ Clue:
Yeah
DJ Clue
Desert Storm
Fabolous
With Wilma
M.
Holla

Fabolous:
I’m tryin’ to save your life
We can do it in the mix
I’ll even raise the privacy shade if we do it in the 6
Everything his & hers
I know you like sippin’ K movin’ until you vision blurs
Exquisite furs is preferred
You even got a set of keys to the Spiz ‘n Jerz (-?)
With your man it ain’t promised
I’m the kid that’ll make sure you keep that tan from St. Thomas
It’s no trouble at all
So you can imagine after I go double it’s all
Most this playa can do is retire
I know Gucci’s newest attire and shoes required
I don’t care who was your priors
Any man sayin’ that he don’t want you is a liar
All they can do is admire
F-A-B-O-L-O-U-S
I do this Mariah

Last night a DJ saved my life
Last night a DJ saved my life
Cause I was sittin’ there bored to death
And in just one breath he said
You gotta get up
You gotta get on
You gotta get down girl
You know you drive me crazy baby
You’ve got me turning to another man
Called you on the phone
No one’s home
Baby why ya leave me all alone
And if it wasn’t for the music
I don’t know what I’d do

Last night a DJ saved my life
Last night a DJ saved my life from a broken heart
Last night a DJ saved my life
Last night a DJ saved my life with a song

You know I hopped into my car
Didn’t get very far no
Because I had you on my mind
Why be so unkind?
You’ve got your women all around
All around this town, boy
But I was trapped in love with you
And I didn’t know what to do
But when I turned on my radio
I found out all I needed to know
Check it out

Last night a DJ saved my life
Last night a DJ saved my life from a broken heart
Last night a DJ saved my life
Last night a DJ saved my life with a song

Hey listen up to your local DJ
You better hear what he’s got to say
There’s not a problem that I can’t fix
Cause I can do it in the mix
And if your man gives you trouble
Just you move out on the double
And you don’t let it trouble your brain
Cause away goes troubles
Down the drain
I said away goes troubles
Down the drain

Last night a DJ saved my life
There’s not a problem that I can’t fix
Cause I can do it in the mix
There’s not a problem that I can’t fix
Cause I can do it in the mix

Want You
Written by Mariah Carey, James Harris III, Terry Lewis, James Wright

It’s just the way I want you baby
Oh so bad
It’s just the feeling that comes over me

I had a crush on you
Painstakingly I
Would conceal the truth
You probably always knew
But I was timid like a child
Inhibited and way too shy
I’d glance but then avert my eyes
All twisted up in my desire
But I am not that girl today
Ain’t a lot of time for games
I’ve waited and I’ve waited now
It’s time for me to tell you
‘Bout the way

It’s just they way I want you baby
Oh so bad
Every night and everyday
Must we hesitate
It’s just the feeling that comes over me
I cannot alleviate
Please don’t make me wait
It’s just the way I want you baby
Oh so bad
Every night and everyday

Baby I
Was so into you
Now I wonder why
I never pursued
You the way I wanted to

Kiss me and touch me and
Immerse your love in mine
I’ll keep unraveling
As we explore our fantasies tonight
(Tell me what you like)
(Now show me what you like)

It’s just the way I want you baby
So bad
Every night and everyday
Must we hesitate
It’s just the feeling that comes over me
I cannot alleviate
Please don’t make me wait

Never Too Far
Written by Mariah Carey, James Harris III, Terry Lewis

You’re with me
Til the bitter end
What we had transcends
This experience
Too painful to
Talk about
So I’ll hold it in
Til my heart can mend
And be brave enough to love again

A place in time
Still belongs to us
Stays preserved in my mind
In the memories there is solace

Never too far away
I won’t let time erase
One bit of yesterday
Cause I have learned that
Nobody can take your place
Though we can never be
I’ll keep you close to me
When I remember

Glittering lights
Incandescent eyes
Still preserved
In my mind
In the memories I’ll find solace

Never too far away
I won’t let time erase
One bit of yesterday
And I have learned that
Nobody can take your place
Though we can never be
I’ll keep you close to me
And I’ll remember

A place in time
Still belongs to us
Stays preserved in my mind
In the memories there is solace

Never too far away
I won’t let time erase
One bit of yesterday
Cause I have learned that
Nobody can take your place
And though we can never be
I’ll always think of you and me
Always remember

Love

You’re never too far

Twister
Written by Mariah Carey, James Harris III, Terry Lewis, James Wright

She was kind of fragile
And she had a lot to grapple with
But basically she kept
It all inside

Childlike and effervescent
With a well of pain
The depth of I could not imagine
If I tried

Never thought that I
Would hear them say
Twister went and threw it all away

She was kind of magical
Her laughter sent you casually
Floating through a moment
Of release

Dear God, it’s all so tragic
And I’ll never have the chance
To feel the closure
That I untimately need

No, I never dreamed
That there would come a time
Twister’d go and leave it all behind

Lord I pray she’s found some peace
And her soul’s somewhere at ease

Yeah I’m feeling kind of fragile
And I’ve got a lot to handle
But I guess this is my way
Of saying goodbye

Loverboy
Written by Mariah Carey, Larry Blackmon, Thomas Jenkins

I got myself a lover
Who knows what I like
When he invites me over
I come every time
And when my sugar daddy
Takes me for a ride
Whatever way we go it’s
Delirium time

He’s all mine
And his lovin’ makes me high
Like a taste of ecstasy
All I need is him to be my loverboy

I got myself a lover
And he’s so sublime
It’s quite a bit of heaven
To feel him inside
Cause when my sugar daddy
Takes me for a ride
Whatever way we go
It’s delirium time

I get weak
When his candy kisses sweetly
Caress my whole body
All I need is him to be
My loverboy

This stuff is starting now
This stuff is starting now
It’s the same feeling
I always seem to get around you
Cause you affect me
Fascinate me
I thank heaven for the things that you do
This stuff is starting now
This stuff is starting now
This stuff is starting now

My eyes roll in my head
I toss and turn in my bed
In the morning when I think about you
It’s like candy
Simply put
You’re the reason why
Even though I’m real shy
I attempt to look my best for you
Indeed I do just for you

Loverboy c’mon and love me
Give me more, touch me and touch me
I enjoy the way that you rock me
All night long
Loverboy c’mon and take me
Only you know how to make me
Shudder with anticipation
All night long

Written by M. Carey, S. Carter, S. Elliston, L. Chase, M. Walden, J. Cohen

Gimme your love, gimme your love
Gimme your love, gimme your love

Boy your love’s so good
I don’t wanna let go
And although I should
I can’t leave you alone
Cause you’re so disarming
I’m caught up in the midst of you
And I cannot resist at all
Boy if I do
The things you wanna to
The way I used to do
Could you love me baby
You leave me feelin used
Cause you go and break my heart

Heartbreaker you’ve got the best of me
But I just keep on comin’ back incessantly
Oh why did you have to run your game on me
I should have known right from the start
You’d go and break my heart
Gimme your love, gimme your love
Gimme your love, gimme your love

It’s a shame to be
So euphoric and weak
When you smile at me
And you tell me things
That you know persuade me
To relinquish my love to you
But I cannot resist
At all
Boy if I do
The things you wanna to
The way I used to do
Would you love me baby
You leave me feelin used
Cause you go and break my heart

Heartbreaker you’ve got the best of me
But I just keep on comin’ back incessantly
Oh why did you have to run your game on me
I should have known right from the start
You’d go and break my heart

She wanna shop with Jay
Play box with Jay
She wanna pillowfight in the middle
What a night
She wanna drive my benz
With 5 of her friends
She wanna creep past the block
Spyin’ again
She wanna roll with Jay
Chase skeeos away
She wanna fight with lame chicks
Blow my day
She wanna expect the rest
Kick me to the curb
If she find one strand of hair
Longer than hers
She want love in the Jacuzzi
Rub up in the movies
Access to the old crib
Keys to the newbie
She wanna answer the phone
Tattoo her arm
That’s when I gotta send her back to
Her mom
She called me heartbreaker
When we apart it makes her
Wanna piece of paper
Scribble down I hate ya
When she know she love Jay because
She love everything Jay say, Jay does

Heartbreaker you’ve got the best of me
But I just keep on comin’ back incessantly
Oh why did you have to run your game on me
I should have known right from the start
You’d go and break my heart

Gimme your love, gimme your love
Gimme your love, gimme your love

Heartbreaker you’ve got the best of me
But I just keep on comin’ back incessantly
Oh why did you have to run your game on me
I should have known right from the start
You’d go and break my heart

Can’t Take That Away (Mariah’s Theme)
Written by M. Carey and D. Warren

They can say,
Anything they want to say,
Try to bring me down,
But I will not allow anyone to succeed hanging clouds over me,
And they can try
How to make me feel that I,
Don’t matter at all,
But I refuse to falter in what I believe or loose faith in my dreams

‘Cause there’s,
There’s a light in me,
That shines brightly,
They can try,
But they can’t take that away from me
From me

They can do
Anything they want to you,
If you let them in,
But they won’t ever win,
If you cling to you pride, and just push them aside,
See I,
I have learned,
There’s an inner peace I own,
Something in my soul that they can not possess
So I won’t be afraid and the darkness will fade

‘Cause there’s,
There’s light in me me,
That shines brightly, yes
They can try,
But they can’t take that away from me

They can’t take this
Precious love I’ll always have inside me,
Certainly the Lord will guide me where I need to go

They can say
Anything they want to say,
Try to bring me down,
But I won’t face the ground,
I will rise steadily sailing out of their reach,
Although they do try,
How to make me feel that I,
Don’t matter at all,
But I refuse to fall,
Tell me what I believe or loose faith in my dreams,
‘Cause there’s a light in me,
That shines brightly yes

They can try but they can’t take that away from me

Bliss
Written by M. Carey, J. Harris III, T. Lewis, J. Wright

Touch me baby
It feels so amazing
And you stimulate me
And you make me want you
More and more

What do I do
What do I say
Does it feel good
To you this way
I wanna be
All that you need
Boy what’s your fantasy?
Better hold on, ready or not
Baby my love ain’t gonna stop
Take it down low
Make me get high

My love goes
On and on and on and on and on
My love goes
On and on and on and on and on
On and on and on and on and on
All my love’s for you

Baby don’t you rush me, no
You got to take it slow
Juts ket the feeling grow
Until it overflows
Anyway you want it now
Just gotta tell me how
To give you everything
You’ve even dared to dream

Isn’t it bliss
To you right now
Don’t be subdued
Say it out loud
Ain’t it a sweet
Luscious delight
When you’re immersed in my
Ocean of love

Coming on strong
Baby I’ve been waiting so long
Revel inside of paradise

My love goes
On and on and on and on and on
My love goes
On and on and on and on and on
On and on and on and on and on
All my love’s for you

So
Gimme some pure delectable love
Like I’m gonna give to you
Keep coming around

On and on and on and on and on
All my love’s for you

How Much
Written by M. Carey, B. Michael-Cox, J. Dupri, T. Shakur, D. Harper, T. Wrice, R. House

The way I feel for you
I can’t describe
It’s almost too intense
To verbalize
Essentially you’re all
I’m living for
Basically each day
I need you more

Have you ever been so enamored baby
That’s how much I love you
All I need in this life, you see
Is me and my boyfriend (me and my girlfriend)
Have you ever felt lost
When you know you gotta leave me
That’s how much I love you

Love is yours and mine
‘Till the very end
Just me and my boyfriend

Don’t underestimate the love in me
It’s obvious these feelings run so deep
I fall and fall for you day after day
Nobody else could ever take your place

Love is yours and mine
‘Till the very end
Just me and my boyfriend

You don’t gotta waste your time and worry
You don’t gotta look for reassurance
‘Cause clearly you’re the only one that’s getting this and
Sugar I don’t need nobody else
But you
And honey I ain’t letting go too soon
Because I can’t get enough
Why you asking how much?
It’s more than you can handle baby

Love is yours and mine
‘Till the very end
Just me and my boyfriend

After Tonight
Written by M. Carey, D. Warren, D. Foster

I look at you looking at me
Feels like a feeling meant to be
And as your body moves with mine
It’s like I’m lifted out of time

And time again
Patientiy I’ve waited
For this moment to arrive

After tonight
Will you remember
How sweet and tenderly
You reached for me
And pulled me closer
After you go
Will you return to love me
After tonight begins to fade

I feel your touch caressing me
This feeling’s all I’ll ever need
With every kiss from your sweet lips
It’s like I’m drifting out of time

Alone will tell
If you feel the way I feel
When I look in your eyes

After tonight
Will you remember
How sweet and tenderly
You reached for me
And pulled me closer
After you go
Will you return to love me
After the night becomes the day

Time
And time and time again
So patiently I’ve waited
For this moment to arrive

After tonight
Will you remember
How sweet and tenderly
You reached for me
And pulled me closer
After you go
Baby will you return to love me
After the night becomes the day
After tonight begins
To fade

After all
After all
After all
When the morning comes
When the morning comes
After tonight
Begins to fade
Begins to fade

X-Girlfriend
Written by M. Carey, Kandi, K. Briggs

X-girlfriend you can’t have him
It’s about time
That you found you a new man
He’s moved on
Don’t you know?
Don’t you know?
You gotta let him go
Let him go
Let him go
X-girlfriend you don’t listen
(X-girlfriend)
Stop trying
He’s not gonna give in
He’s not yours anymore
Don’t you know?
You gotta let him go
Let him go
Let him go

Hey x-girlfriend
It’s too bad when you had him
Y’all thing didn’t work
But he’s all mine now
So stop pursuing him
Before you get your feelings hurt
See our love is hot
And no, it won’t stop
‘Cause I got him on lock
And although he rejects you
It don’t seem to affect you
‘Cause you just keep trying
To get with him

So don’t, don’t keep, keep calling
Hanging up the phone
When I anwser I know it
Tears you up inside and
Why do you sit in silence
On the other end
‘Till I hang up and you
Predictably call right back again

Hey x-girlfriend
Whatever your name is
I’m really not amused
‘Cause the things you do
Are very offensive
And sometimes straight up rude
All those late night calls and notes
On his car
Won’t get you anywhere
You can call his mom
As much as you want
And he won’t really care

X-girlfriend you can’t have him
It’s about time
That you found you a new man
He’s moved on
Don’t you know?
Don’t you know?
You gotta let him go
Let him go
Let him go
X-girlfriend you don’t listen
Stop trying
He’s not gonna give in
He’s not yours anymore
Don’t you know?
You gotta let him go
Let him go
Let him go

I understand why
You want him back
But you don’t know
Our love’s too strong
For you to penetrate
It’s too late
He’s not your baby nomore

X girlfriend
X girlfriend
It’s tumblin’ down
X girlfriend
Don’t listen
X girlfriend
See I’m not gonna give in

X-girlfriend you can’t have him
It’s about time
That you found you a new man
He’s moved on
Don’t you know?
Don’t you know?
You gotta let him go
Let him go
Let him go
X-girlfriend you don’t listen
Stop trying
He’s not gonna give in
He’s not yours anymore
Don’t you know?
You gotta let him go
Let him go
Let him go

X-girlfriend you can’t have him
It’s about time
That you found you a new man
He’s moved on
Don’t you know?
Don’t you know?
You gotta let him go
Let him go
Let him go

Heartbreaker Remix
Written by M. Carey, Da Brat, M. Elliott, R. E. Brown, S. D. Dogg, W. Griffin III, A. R. Young, N. Hale

Guess who’s back in the motherfucking house
With two big old tities for your mouth
Heartbreakers my part taker the sensation
So So Def and Clue hits in the mane?

Guess who droppin the five double o
Like yippe yi yippi yo yay
When I talk smack ya’ll better skip back
Like here we go cuz the bitch don’t quit

Boy your love’s so good
I don’t wanna let go
And although I should
I can’t leave you alone
‘Cause your soul is haunting me
Caught up in the midst of you
And I cannot resist
At all

Boy if I do
The things you want me to
The way I used to do
Would you love me baby
Holding me fellin me
Is what you know to break my heart

Heartbreaker you’ve got the best of me
But I just keep on comin’ back incessantly
Oh why did you have to run your game on me
I should have known right from the start
You’d go and break my heart

Give me some real love,
Need someone to give me some real love,
Need someone to give me some real love,
Need someone to give me some real love.

Why
When I met ya that night baby
I didn’t know it wouldn’t last
I give my love to you honey
Wish I could take it all back

See I have never met a guy
That was better at telling lies
Should’ve known you’d break my heart

If Da Brat gave a fuck about a nigga
My heart would be broke
Should have know you were star struck when I left you so
My guard was up in the beginning but then
I gave you my heart and you broke it again
I’m a fool when you smile at me I’m convinced
I get caught up in you when I just can’t resist
I know you lie to me
It just drives me nuts
This one kiss could persuade me to believe your bluffs
You set it up impressin me with gifts and rings
I wish love was dollars cuz money ain’t a thing
Cuz when I think of MC blew the party
I got a ready to play somebody
Is that tell me you
Is that for each member of my crew
With that I’m gonna heartbreak you
Now you flat on your back
You really don’t know
So I’d advise you not to trust me yo

Baby, I’m the real thang
So what ya got me sweatin you consistantly baby
Baby, I got the good thing
So why you makin love to me you crazy baby

I like the way he used to spank me
He used to lie me on my back take that
He used to have me in the sac legs back?
But now he be buggin lately
Hey boy why you actin stinky
I keep it stiff like wood baby
So if you wanna keep a good lady
You need to stop with all the heart breaking

Heartbreaker you’ve got the best of me
But I just keep on comin’ back incessantly
Oh why did you have to run your game on me
I should have known right from the start
You’d go and break my heart

Vulnerability
Written by M. Carey

Why
Oh why
Did
Did you
I should have known
That you’d
Right from the start
That you’d
Go and break
Knowing I was
My heart
Knowing I was
So vulnerable

Against All Odds (Take A Look At Me Now)
Written by P. Collins

How can I just let you walk away
Just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking every breath with you
You’re the only one who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now
‘Cause there’s just an empty space
There’s nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face

I wish I could just make you turn around
Turn around to see me cry
There’s so much I need to say to you
So many reasons why
You’re the only one who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now
There’s just an empty space
There’s nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face

Take a good look at me now
‘Cause I’ll be standing here
And you’re comin’ back to me
Is against all odds
It’s the chance I’ve gotta
Take a look at me now

Crybaby
Written by M. Carey, H. Hersh, S. D. Dogg, T. Lorenz, T. Gatlin, G. Griffin, A. Hall III, T. Riley

When I think of our untimely end
And everything we could have been
I cry
Baby I cry

So it’s 5 AM and
I still can’t sleep
Took some medicine
But it’s not working
Someone’s clinging to me
And it’s bittersweet
‘Cause he’s head over heels
But it ain’t that deep
I finally changed my number
Got a different pager
Then last saturday
Your cousin called to say you’re
Tryin’ to reach me
Probably because you see that
I’m with someone new

Late at night like a little child
Wandering ’round alone
In my new friend’s home
On my tippy toes
So that he won’t know
I still cry baby
Over you and me

Sipping Bailey’s Cream
By the stereo
Trying to find relief
On the radio
I’m suppressing the tears
But they start to flow
‘Cause the next song I hear
Is a song I wrote
When we first got together
Early that september
I can’t bear to listen
So I might as well drift
In the kitchen
Pour another glass or two
And I try to forget you

Late at night like a little child
Wandering ’round alone
In my new friend’s home
On my tippy toes
So that he won’t know
I still cry baby
Over you and me

Baby hear me when I say
Let that man be on his way
Don’t even waste your time
And worry how he handle thangz
That ain’t right
Baby hear me when I say
A playa feelin’ good today
You know you’re too fly to be cryin’
Don’t even waste your time watch how I handle things
Man you’re a fool for this
But on the real dog I’m cool with this we do and this
D-O-DOUBLE G’S-Y
Kiss the girls and make them cry

Late at night
Like a little child
Wandering around alone
In my new friend’s home
On my tippy toes
So that he won’t know
I still cry baby
Over you and me

On my tippy toes
So that he won’t know
I still cry
Over you and me

I don’t get no sleep
I’m up all week
Can’t stop thinking of you and me
And everything we used to be
It could have been so perfect see

I gotta get me some sleep
Cry
Baby and I
Cry
On my tippy toes
So that he won’t know
I still cry
You and I
Over you and me

Late at night like a little child
Wandering around alone
In my new friend’s home
On my tippy toes
So that he won’t know
I still cry

Late at night like a little child
Wandering around alone
In my new friend’s home
On my tippy toes
So that he won’t know
I still cry baby
Over you and me

Did I Do That?
Written by M. Carey, Craig B., T. Wapies, J. S. Johnson, W. J. Quezergue

I really hope
When you hear this song
That you’re happy
With somebody new
Baby because
I found a love I can call my own
And I owe it in part to you

Don’t you know that you seem
Just a little crazy
You had my trust and intimacy
But you threw it away just threw it away
And now it’s all in the past
When I think of you
I just laugh
My friends must have thought
I was high to have given so much
To someone not worth my time

Funny how sometimes
You can really lose your mind
And do things you would never do

You rhapsodize
And get caught up in the hype
‘Till your senses return to you
Love plays you for a fool

You were so insecure
And your crew was so immature
Conversations painfully weak
You were much better off
When you didn’t speak
But boy to tell you the truth
It was my illusion of you
Being somehow destined for me
That had me in a daze
But we’re not the same in truth

Funny how sometimes
You can really lose your mind
And do things you would never do

You rhapsodize
And get caught up in the hype
‘Till your senses return to you
Love plays you for a fool

I really hope when you hear this song
That you know it was meant for you
Though your attention span’s not that long
Try to do the best you can do

Funny how sometimes
You can really lose your mind
Do the things you would never do

You rhapsodize
And get caught up in the hype
‘Till your senses return to you
Love plays you for a fool

Funny how sometimes
You can really lose your mind
And do things you would never do

You rhapsodize
And get caught up in the hype
‘Till your senses return to you
Love plays you for a fool

Funny how sometimes
You can really lose your mind
And the things you would never do
I was such a fool
But I won’t be a fool no more

You rhapsodize
And get caught up in the hype
‘Till your senses return to you
Love plays you for a fool

Funny how sometimes
You can really lose your mind
And the things you would never do

Petals
Written by M. Carey, J. Harris III, T. Lewis, J. Wright

I’ve often wondered if there’s
Ever been a perfect family
I’ve always longed for undividedness
And sought stability

A flower taught me how to pray
But as I grew, that flower changed
She started failing in the wind
Like golden petals scattering

And I miss you dandelion
And even love you
And I wish there was a way
For me to trust you
But it hurts me every time
I try to touch you
But I miss you dandelion
And even love you

I gravitated towards a patriarch
So young predictably
I was resigned to spend my life
With a maze of misery

A boy and a girl befriended me
We’re bonded through despondency
I stayed so long but finally
I fled to save my sanity

And I miss you little sis and
Little brother
And I hope you realize
I’ll always love you
And although you’re struggling
You will recover
And I miss you little sis and
Little brother

So many I considered
Closest to me
Turned on a dime and sold me
Out dutifully
Although that knife was chipping
Away at me
They turned their eyes away and
Went home to sleep

And I missed a lot of life
But I’ll recover
Though I know you really like
To see me suffer
Still I wish that you and I’d
Forgive each other
‘Cause I miss you, Valentine
And really loved you

I really loved you
I tried so hard
But you drove me away
To preserve my sanity

And I’ve found the strength to break away

Rainbow
Written by M. Carey, J. Harris III, T. Lewis

I know there is a rainbow
For me to follow
To get beyond my sorrow
Thunder precedes the sunlight
So I’ll be allright
If I can find that
Rainbow’s end
I will be alright
If I can find that
Rainbow’s
End

Thank God I Found You
Written by M. Carey, J. Harris III, T. Lewis

I would give up everything
Before I’d seperate myself from you
After so much suffering
I finally found unvarnished truth
I was all by myself for the longest time
So cold inside
And the hurt from the heartache would not subside
I felt like dying
Until you saved my life

I will give you everything
There’s nothing in this world I wouldn’t do
To ensure your happiness
I’ll cherish every part of you
‘Cause without you beside me I can’t survive
Don’t wanna try
If you keeping me warm each and every night
I’ll be alright
‘Cause I need you in my life

See I was so desolate before you came to me
Looking back
I guess it shows that we were destined
To shine over the rain to appreciate
The gift of what we have
And I’d go through it all over again
To be able to feel
This way

Thank God I found you
I was lost without you
My every wish and every dream
Somehow became reality
When you brought the sunlight
Completed my whole life
I’m overwhelmed with graditude
See baby I’m so thankful I found you
Thank God I found you
I was lost without you
I’m overwhelmed with graditude
My baby I’m so thankful I found you
I’m overwhelmed with graditude
My baby I’m so thankful I found you

Sweetheart
Written by R. Davis and P. Warner

Boy, haven’t you noticed
The gleam in my eyes
Because of you
I’m a little hypnotized
But everytime you’re with me
Feel so positive
That with you a little love
Somethings gotta give

A full moon is waiting in the twilight
Maybe soon you will come to be my light
Here we are
Hoping that we’ll never part
Stay with me
Baby, won’t you be my sweetheart
We can share a story book romance
Just deep in love
Baby, won’t you be my sweetheart
We can share a story book romance

You ain’t no Casanova
I know that you’ll be true
And that’s why
I’m so in love with you
But this romantic evening
You led me at my door
But tonight, I’d like to explore

A full moon is waiting in the twilight
Maybe soon you will come to be my light
Here we are
Hoping that we’ll never part
Stay with me
Baby, won’t you be my sweetheart
We can share a story book romance
Just deep in love
Sounds so right
The mood is right
To keep me warm
Away from home
Nowhere better than my baby’s arms
The mood is right
Away from home
Won’t you be my
Sweetheart

When You Believe
Written by S. Schwartz and Babyface

Many nights we pray
With no proof anyone could hear
And our hearts a hopeful song
We barely understand
Now we are not afraid
Although we know there’s much to fear
We were moving mountains long
Before we know we could

There can be miracles
When you believe
Though hope is frail
It’s hard to kill
Who know what miracle
You can achieve
When you believe
Somehow you will
You will when you believe

In this time of fear
When prayer so often proves in vain
Hope seems like the summer birds
Too swiftly flown away
And now I am standing here
My heart’s so full I can’t explain
Seeking faith and speaking words
I never thought I’d say

There can be miracles
When you believe
Though hope is frail
It’s hard to kill
Who know what miracles
You can achieve
When you believe
Somehow you will
You will when you believe

They don’t always happen when you ask
And it’s easy to give in to your fear
But when you’re blinded by your pain
Can’t see you way safe through the rain
Thought of a still resilient voice
Says love is very near

Whenever You Call
Written by M. Carey and W. Afanasieff

Love wandered inside
Stronger than you
Stronger than I
And now that it has begun
We cannot turn back
We can only turn into one

I won’t ever be too far away to feel you
And I won’t hesitate at all
Whenever you call
And I’ll always remeber
The part of you so tender
I’ll be the one to catch you fall
Whenever you call

And I’m truly inspired
Finding my soul
There in your eyes
And you
Have opened my heart
And lifted me inside
By showing me yourself
Undisguised

I won’t ever be too far away to feel you
And I won’t hesitate at all
Whenever you call
And I’ll always remember
The part of you so tender
I’ll be the one to catch your fall
Whenever you call

And I will breathe for you each day
Comfort you through all the pain
Gently kiss your fears away
You can turn to me and cry
Always understand that I
Give you all I am inside
I won’t ever be too far away to feel you

And I won’t hesitate at all
Whenever you call
And I’ll always remember
The part of you so tender
I’ll be the one to catch your fall
Whenever you call

I won’t ever be too far away to feel you
And I won’t hesitate at all
Whenever you call

I won’t ever be too far away to feel you
And I won’t hesitate at all
Whenever you call
And I’ll always remember
The part of you so tender
I’ll be the one to catch your fall

My All
Written by M. Carey and W. Afanasieff

I am thinking of you
In my sleepless solitude tonight
If it’s wrong to love you
Then my heart just won’t let me be right
‘Cause I’ve drowned in you
And I won’t pull through
Without you by my side

I’d give my all to have
Just one more night with you
I’d risk my life to feel
Your body next to mine
‘Cause I can’t go on
Living in the memory of our song
I’d give my all for your love tonight

Baby can you feel me
Imagining I’m looking in your eyes
I can see you clearly
Vividly emblazoned in my mind
And yet you’re so far
Like a distant star
I’m wishing on tonight

Honey
Written by M. Carey, S. Scombs, K. Fareed, S. Jordan, S. Hague, B. Robinson, R. Larkins, L. Price, M. McLaren

Honey you can have me
When you want me
If you simply ask me to be there
And you’re the only one who
Makes me come running
Cause what you got is far
Beyond compare

And it’s just like honey
When your love comes over me
Oh baby I’ve got a dependency
Always strung out for another
Taste of your honey

It’s like honey when it washes over me
You know sugar never ever was so sweet
And I’m dying for you cryin’ for you I adore you
One hit of your love addicted me
Now I’m strung out on you darlin’
Don’t you see every night and day
I can hardly wait for another taste of honey

Honey I can’t describe
How good it feels inside
Honey I can’t describe
How good it feels inside
I can’t be elusive
With you honey
Because it’s blatant
That I’m feeling you
And it’s too hard for me
To leave abruptly
Cause you’re the only thing
I wanna do

And it’s just like honey
When your love comes over me
Oh baby I’ve got a dependency
Always strung out for another
Taste of honey

Always Be My Baby
Written by M. Carey, J. Dupri and M. Seal

We were as one, babe
For a moment in time
And it seemed everlasting
That you would always be mine
Now you want to be free
So I’ll let you fly
‘Cause I know in my heart, babe
Our love will never die

You’ll always be a part of me
I’m part of you indefinitely
Boy, don’t you know you can’t escape me
Ooh darling, ’cause you’ll always be my baby
And we’ll linger on
Time can’t erase a feeling this strong
No way you’re never gonna shake me
Oh darling, ’cause you’ll always be my baby

I ain’t gonna cry, no
And I won’t beg you to stay
If you’re determined to leave boy
I will not stand in your way
But inevitably, you’ll be back again
‘Cause you know in your heart, babe
Our love will never end

I know that you’ll be back, boy
When your days and your nights get a little bit colder
You’ll be right back, baby
Oh baby, believe me
It’s only a matter of time

One Sweet Day
Written by M. Carey, M. McCary, N. Morris, W. Morris, S. Stockman, and W. Afanasieff

Sorry I never told you
All I wanted to say
And now it’s too late to hold you
‘Cause you’ve flown away
So far away

Never had I imagined
Living without your smile
Feeling and knowing you hear me
It keeps me alive
Alive

And I know you’re shining down on me from heaven
Like so many friends we’ve lost along the way
And I know eventually we’ll be together
Together
One sweet day
Eventually I’ll see you in heaven

Darling, I never showed you
Assumed you’d always be there
I took your presence for granted
But I always cared
And I miss the love we shared

And I know you’re shining down on me from heaven
Like so many friends we’ve lost along the way
And I know eventually we’ll be together
One sweet day
Eventually I’ll see you in heaven
Although the sun will never shine the same
I’ll always look to a brighter day
Lord I know when I lay me down to sleep
You will always listen as I pray

And I know you’re shining down on me from heaven
Like so many friends we’ve lost along the way
And I know eventually we’ll be together
One sweet day

Fantasy
Written by M. Carey, C. Frantz, T. Weymouth, D. Hall, A. Belew, and S. Stanley

Oh, when you walk by every night
Talking sweet and looking fine
I get kinda hectic inside
Mmm, baby I’m so into you
Darling, if you only knew
All the things that flow through my mind

Sweet, sweet fantasy, baby
When I close my eyes
You come and you take me
So deep in my daydreams
But it’s just a sweet, sweet fantasy, baby
Fantasy

Images of rapture
Creep into me slowly
As you’re going to my head
And my heart beats faster
When you take me over
Time and time and time again

Sweet, sweet fantasy, baby
When I close my eyes
You come and you take me
So deep in my daydreams
But it’s just a sweet, sweet fantasy, baby

Sweet, sweet fantasy, baby
When I close my eyes
You come and you take me
So deep in my daydreams
But it’s just a sweet, sweet fantasy, baby
Fantasy

I’m in heaven
With my boyfriend
My laughing boyfriend
There’s no beginning
And there is no end
Feels like I’m dreaming
But I’m not sleeping

Sweet, sweet fantasy, baby
When I close my eyes
You come and you take me
So deep in my daydreams
But it’s just a sweet, sweet fantasy, baby
Fantasy

Sweet, sweet fantasy baby
Sweet, sweet fantasy baby

Hero
Written by M. Carey and W. Afanasieff

There’s a hero
If you look inside your heart
You don’t have to be afraid
Of what you are
There’s an answer
If you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know
Will melt away

And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you’ll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you

It’s a long road
When you face the world alone
No one reaches out a hand
For you to hold
You can find love
If you search within yourself
And the emptiness you felt
Will disappear

Lord knows
Dreams are hard to follow
But don’t let anyone
Tear them away, hey yeah
Hold on
There will be tomorrow
In time
You’ll find the way

Dreamlover
Written by M. Carey and D. Hall

I need a lover to give me
The kind of love
That will last always
I need somebody uplifting
To take me away

I want a lover who knows me
Who understands how I feel inside
Someone to comfort and hold me
Through the long lonely nights
Till the dawn
Why don’t you take me away

Dreamlover come rescue me
Take me up take me down

I need you so desperately
Won’t you please come around
‘Cause I wanna share forever with you baby

I don’t want another pretender
To disillusion me one more time
Whispering words of forever
Playing with my mind

I need someone to hold on to
The kind of love that won’t fly away
I just want someone to belong to
Everyday
Of my live
Always
So come and take me away

Dreamlover come rescue me
Take me up take me down
Take me anywhere you want to baby now
I need you so desperately
Won’t you please come around
‘Cause I wanna share forever with you baby

Emotions
Written by M. Carey – D. Cole – R. Civiles

You’ve got me feeling emotions
Deeper than I’ve ever dreamed of
You’ve got me feeling emotions
Higher than the heavens above

I feel good
I feel nice
I’ve never felt so
Satisfied
I’m in love
I’m alive
Intoxicated
Flying high
It feels like a dream
When you touch me tenderly
I don’t know if it’s real
But I like the way I feel
Inside

You’ve got me feeling emotions
Deeper than I’ve ever dreamed of
You’ve got me feeling emotions
Higher than the heavens above

In the morning
When I rise
You are the first thing
On my mind
And in the middle
Of the night
I feel your heartbeat
Next to mine
It feels like a dream
When you love me tenderly
I don’t know if you’re for real
But I like the way I feel
Inside

You’ve got me feeling emotions
Deeper than I’ve ever dreamed of
You’ve got me feeling emotions
Higher than the heavens above

You know the way to make me
Lose control
When you’re looking into my eyes
You make me feel so
High

You’ve got me feeling emotions
Deeper than I’ve ever dreamed of
You’ve got me feeling emotions
Higher than the heavens above

Someday
Written by M. Carey and B. Margulies

You were so blind to let me go
You had it all but didn’t know
No one you’ll ever find will be
Closer to all your dreams than me
Believing the grass would be greener
You told yourself I just don’t need her now
But I know you’ll soon discover
You’re never satisfied with any other

Someday
Someday
One you gave away will be the only one you’re wishing for
Someday
Boy you’re gonna pay ’cause baby I’m the one who’s keeping score

You’ll change your mind and call my name
Soon as you find they’re all the same
And when you find yourself alone
Don’t come back crying
You should have known
Believe me I’m not pretending
It’s not hard to predict
This ending now
‘Cause I know you’ll soon discover
You’re needing me in spite of all the
Others

Someday
Someday
One you gave away will be the only one you’re wishing for
Someday
Boy you’re gonna pay ’cause baby I’m the one who’s keeping score

Maybe now you just can’t conceive
That there’ll ever come a time when you’re cold and lonely
Baby, how could you ever believe
That another could replace me
The one and only
But when your down
In your time of need
And you’re thinking that you
Might be coming back to own me

Just think again ’cause
I won’t need your love anymore!

Someday
Someday
One you gave away will be the only one you’re wishing for
Someday hey hey
Boy you’re gonna pay ’cause baby I’m the one who’s keeping score
You’ll change your mind and call my name
Soon as you find they’re all the same
And when you find yourself alone
Don’t come back crying
You should have known
Believe me I’m not pretending
It’s not hard to predict
This ending now
‘Cause I know you’ll soon discover
You’re needing me in spite of all the
Others

Love Takes Time
Written by M. Carey and B. Margulies

I had it all
But I let it slip away
Couldn’t see I treated you wrong
Now I wander around
Feeling down and cold
Trying to believe that you’re gone

Love takes time
To heal then you’re hurting so much
Couldn’t see that I was blind
To let you go
I can’t escape the pain
Inside
‘Cause love takes time
I don’t wanna be here
I don’t wanna be here
Alone

Losing my mind
From this hollow in my heart
Suddenly I’m so incomplete
Lord I’m needing you now
Tell me how to stop the rain
Tears are falling down endlessly

You might say that it’s over
You might say that you don’t care
You might say you don’t miss me
You don’t need me
But I know that you do and I feel that you do
Inside

Vision Of Love
Written by M. Carey and B. Margulies

Treated me kind
Sweet destiny
Carried me through desperation
To the one that was waiting for me
It took so long
Still I believed
Somehow the one that I needed
Would find me eventually

I had a vision of love
And it was all that you’ve given to me

Prayed through the nights
Felt so alone
Suffered from alienation
Carried the weight on my own

Had to be strong
Soo I believed
And now I know I’ve succeeded
In finding the place I conceived

I had a vision of love
And it was all that you’ve given to me
I had a vision of love
And it was all that you’ve given me

I’ve realized a dream
And I visualized
The love that came to be
Feel so alive
I’m so thankful that I’ve received
The answer that heaven has
Sent down to me

You treated me kind
Sweet destiny
And I’ll be eternally grateful
Holding you so close to me
Prayed through the nights
So faithfully
Knowing the one that I needed
Would find me eventually

I had a vision of love
And it was all that you’ve given to me
I had a vision of love
And it was all
That you turned out to
Be

I Still Believe
Written by A. Armato and V. Cantarelli

You look in my eyes
And I get emotional
Inside
I know it’s crazy but
You still can touch my heart
And after all this time
You’d think that I
Wouldn’t feel the same
But time melts into nothing
And nothing’s changed

I still believe, someday you and me
Will find ourselves in love again
I had a dream, someday you and me
Will find ourselves in love again

Each day of my life
I’m filled with all the joy
I could find
You know that I am not the desperate type
If there’s one spark of hope left in my grasp
I’ll hold it with both hands
It’s worth the risk of burning
To have a second chance

No, no, no, no, no, nooo I need you baby
I still believe that we can be together
Ooooohoh no no nooo
If we believe that true love never has to end
Then we must know that we will love again
Mmmh

Ooooohoh
I still believe, someday you and me
Will find ourselves in love again
Oh baby, yeah yeah
I had a dream, you and me
Will find ourselves in love
Again
(I still believe)
Oh baby I do
(Someday you and me)
Just give me one more time
And love
Again
I had a dream, someday you and me
Will find ourselves in love
Again

Without You
Written by W. Peter Ham and T. Evans
No I can’t forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that’s just the way
The story goes
You always smile but in your eyes
Your sorrow shows
Yes it shows
No I can’t forget tomorrow
When I think of all my sorrow
When I had you there
But then I let you go
And now it’s only fair
That I should let you know
What you should know

I can’t live
If living is without you
I can’t live
I can’t give anymore
I can’t live
If living is without you
I can’t give
I can’t give anymore

Well I can’t forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that’s just the way
The story goes
You always smile but in your eyes
Your sorrow shows
Yes it shows

I can’t live
If living is without you
I can’t live
I can’t give any more
I can’t live
If living is without you
I can’t give
I can’t give anymore

Do You Know (Where You’re Going To)
Written by M. Masser and G. Goffin
Do you know where you’re going to?
Do you like the things that life is showing you?
Where are you going to? Do you know?
Do you get what you’re hoping for,
When you look behind you there’s no open door?
What are you hoping for? Do you know?

Once we were standing still in time,
Chasing the fantasies that filled our minds.
You knew how I loved you, but my spirit was free
Laughing at the questions that you once asked of me.

Do you know where you’re going to?
Do you like the things that life is showing you?
Where are you going to? Do you know?

Now looking back at all we’ve had,
We let so many dreams just slip through our hands.
Why must we wait so long before we see,
How sad the answers to those questions can be?

Do you know where you’re going to?
Do you like the things that life is showing you?
Where are you going to? Do you know?
Do you get what you’re hoping for,
When you look behind you there’s no open door?
What are you hoping for? Do you know?

Honey
Written by M. Carey, S. Scombs, K. Fareed, S. Jordan, S. Hague, B. Robinson, R. Larkins, L. Price, M. McLaren

Honey you can have me
When you want me
If you simply ask me to be there
And you’re the only one who
Makes me come running
Cause what you got is far
Beyond compare

And it’s just like honey
When your love comes over me
Oh baby I’ve got a dependency
Always strung out for another
Taste of your honey

And it’s just like honey
When your love comes over me
Oh baby I’ve got a dependency
Always strung out for another
Taste of honey

Butterfly
Written by M. Carey and W. Afanasieff

When you love someone so deeply
They become your life
It’s easy to succumb to overwhelming fears inside
Blindly I imagined I could
Keep you under glass
Now I understand to hold you
I must open my hands
And watch you rise

Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly
Fly abandonedly into the sun
If you should return to me
We truly were ment to be
So spread your wings and fly
Butterfly

I have learned that beauty
Has to flourish in the light
Wild horses run unbridled
Or their spirit dies
You have given me the courage
To be all that I can
And I truly feel your heart will
Lead you back to me when you’re
Ready to land

Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly
Fly abandonedly into the sun
If you should return to me
We truly were ment to be
So spread your wings and fly
Butterfly

I can’t pretend these tears
Aren’t over flowing steadily
I can’t prevent this hurt from
Almost overtaking me
But will stand and say goodbye
For you’ll never be mine
Until you know the way
It feels to fly

Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly
Fly abandonedly into the sun
If you should return to me
We truly were ment to be
So spread your wings and fly
My Butterfly

Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly

Fly abandonedly into the sun
If you should return to me
We truly were ment to be
So spread your wings and fly
Butterfly
So flutter through the sky
Butterfly
Fly
Spread your wings and fly
Butterfly

My All
Written by M. Carey and W. Afanasieff

Baby can you feel me
Imagining I’m looking in your eyes
I can see you clearly
Vividly emblazoned in my mind
And yet you’re so far
Like a distant star
I’m wishing on tonight

The Roof
Written by M. Carey, J. C. Oliver, S. Barnes, C. Rooney, A. Johnson, K. Muchita

It wasn’t raining yet (yet)
But it was definitely (but it was definitely)
A little misty on that warm november night
And my heart was pounding
My inner voice resounding
Begging me to turn away
But I just had to see your face
To feel alive

And then you casually walked in the room
And I was twisted in the web
Of my desire for you
My apprehension blew away
I only wanted you
To taste my sadness
As you kissed me in the dark

Every time I feel the need
I envision you, caressing me
And go back in time
To relieve the splendor of you and I
On the rooftop that rainy night

And so we finished the Moet and
Started feeling liberated
And I surrendered as you took me in your arms
I was so caught up in the moment
I couldn’t bear to let you go yet
Threw caution to the wind
And started listening to my longing heart

And then you softly pressed your lips to mine
And feelings surfaced I’d suppressed
For such a long time
And for a while I forgot
The sorrow and the pain
And melted with you as we stood
There in the rain

Everytime I feel the need
I envision you, caressing me
And go back in time
To relieve the splendor of you and I
On the rooftop that rainy night

Last night I dreamed that I
Whispered the words I love you
And touched you so very
Subtly as we were kissing goodbye

Every time I feel the need
I envision you, caressing me
And go back in time
To relieve the splendor of you and I
On the rooftop that rainy night

Every time I feel the need
I envision you, caressing me
And go back in time

To relieve the splendor of you and I
On the rooftop that rainy night

Every time I feel the need
I envision you caressing me
And go back in time
To relieve the splendor of you and I

Every time I feel the need
I envision you, caressing me
And go back in time
To relieve the splendor of you and I
On the rooftop that rainy night

Fourth Of July
Writtne by M. Carey and W. Afanasieff

Trembling starry eyed
As you put your hand in mine…

It was twilight
On the Fourth of July
Sparkling colors were
Strewn across the sky
And we sat close enough
That we just barely touched
While roman candles
Went soaring above us and baby

Then you put your hand in mine
And we wandered away
I was trembling inside
But I wanted to stay
Pressed against you there
and leave the world behind
On that Fourth of July

So starry eyed
On the flowery hillside
Breathless and fervid
Amid the dandelions
As it swept over me
Like the wind through the trees
I felt you sigh with a
Sweet intensity and baby

Then you put your hand in mine
And we floated away
Delicately lay entwined
In an intimate daze
A crescent moon began to shine
And I wanted to stay
Tangled up with you among the fireflies
On that Fourth of July

Thunder clouds
Hung around
So threateningly
Ominously hovering
And the sky
Opened wide
Showering

Then you put your hand in mine
And we ran from the rain
Tentatively kissed goodnight
And went our separate ways
And I’ve never truly felt the way that I
Felt the Fourth of July

Truly I have never felt the same inside
Like that Fourth of July
Truly I could never feel the same as I
Felt that Fourth of July

Breakdown
Written by M. Carey, A. Henderson, C. Scruggs, Stevie J

Break, breakdown, steady breakin’ me on down
Break, breakdown, steady breakin’ me on down
Break, breakdown, steady breakin’ me on down
Break, breakdown, steady breakin’ me on down

You call yesterday to basically say
That you care for me but that you’re just not in love
Immediately I pretended to beel similarly
And led you to believe I was O.K.
To just walk away from the thing
That’s unyielding and sacred to me

Well I guess I’m trying to be nonchalant about it
And I’m going the extremes to prove I’m fine without you
But in reality I’m slowly losing my my mind
Underneath the guise of a smile gradually I’m dying inside
Friends ask me how I feel and I lie convincingly
‘Cause I don’t want to reveal that fact that I’m suffering
So I wear my disguise ’til I go home at night
And turn down all the lights and then break down and cry

So what do you do when somebody you’re devoted to
Suddenly just stops loving you and it seems they haven’t got a clue
Of the pain that rejection is putting you through
Do you cling to your pride and sing I will survive
Do you lash out and say How dare you leave this way
Do you hold on in vain as they just slip away

Well I guess I’m trying to be nonchalant about it
And I’m going the extremes to prove I’m fine without you
But in reality I’m slowly loosing my my mind
Underneath the guise of a smile gradually I’m dying inside
Friends ask me how I feel and I lie convincingly
‘Cause I don’t want to reveal that fact that I’m suffering
So I wear my disguise ’til I go home at night
And turn down all the lights and then break down and cry

Gonna break ya down, only if ya let it.
Everyday crazy situations rockin’ my mind tryin’ to break me down,
but I won’t let it.
Forget it, forget
I be feelin’ like you’re breakin’ me down,
kickin’ me ’round, stressin’ me out.
I think I better go and get out and let me release some stress.
Don’t ever wanna feel no pain, pain.
Hopin’ for the sun, but it looks like
rain, rain, rain, rain.
Lord, I just wanna maintain.
Yeah, I can feel the pressures, y’all,
but nevertheless Krayzie won’t fall.
It’s over.
It’s endin’ here.

Well I guess I’m trying to be nonchalant about it
And I’m going the extremes to prove I’m fine without you
But in reality I’m slowly loosing my my mind
Underneath the guise of a smile gradually I’m dying inside
Friends ask me how I feel and I lie convincingly
‘Cause I don’t want to reveal that fact that I’m suffering
So I wear my disguise ’till I go home at night
And turn down all the lights and then breakdown and cry

Babydoll
Written by M. Carey, M. Elliot, C. Rooney, Stevie J

It’s 2:11 and I’m stressing
Watching Tv in my hotel suite
I check my service every second
At 2:10 you still hadn’t called me
So I’m gonna leave my cell phone
Turned on in my purse by the bed
And before I fall asleep
I guess I’ll just check my machine
Again and again because I’m
Obsessing on you

I wanna be your babydoll
Wrap me up nice and tight
Love me through the night
Come lay me down
Enfold me in your arms
Cover me with velvet kisses
Rock me on and on
And whisper softly to me
You wanna be my babydoll

Zoning out thinking about
You and me between the sheets
I want to get intimate
But you’re not within my reach
So I’ll have a little more wine
And I’ll try to drink you
Out of my head
And I’ll lay awake awhile
‘Til I’m high enough I can
Forget about you until
I wake up again
Wrap me up nice and tight
Love me through the night
Come lay me down
Enfold me in your arms
Cover me with velvet kisses
Rock me on and on
And whisper softly to me
You wanna be my babydoll

Slipping into dreams
I feel my love surround you
Ny subconscious seems
To weave itself around you
Do you care for me
Beyond idolization
Tell me how you feel
But don’t keep me at bay
‘Cause I won’t be waiting long

Close My Eyes
Written by M. Carey and W. Afanasieff

I was wayward child
With the weight of the world
That I held deep inside
Life was a winding road
And I learned many things
Little ones shouldn’t know

But I closed my eyes
Steadied my feet on the ground
Raised my head to the sky
And though time’s rolled by
Still feel like that child
As I look at the monn
Maybe I grew up
A little too soon

Funny how one can learn
To grow numb to the madness
And block it away
I left the worst unsaid
Let it all dissipate
And I try to forget

But I closed my eyes
Steadied my feet on the ground
Raised my head to the sky
And though time’s rolled by
Still feel like that child
As I look at the monn
Maybe I grew up
A little too soon

Nearing the edge
Obvious I almost
Fell right over A part of me
Will never be quite able
To feel stable
That woman-child falling inside
Was on the verge of fading
Thankfully I
Woke up in time

Guardian angel I
Sail away on an ocean
With you by my side
Orange clouds roll by
They burn into your image
And you’re still alive

But I closed my eyes
Steadied my feet on the ground
Raise my head to the sky
And though time’s rolls by
Still feel like that child
As I look at the monn
Maybe I grew up
A little too soon

Whenever You Call
Written by M. Carey and W. Afanasieff

Love wandered inside
Stronger than you
Stronger than I
And now that it has begun
We cannot turn back
We can only turn into one

I won’t ever be too far away to feel you
And I won’t hesitate at all
Whenever you call
And I’ll always remeber
The part of you so tender
I’ll be the one to catch you fall
Whenever you call

And I’m truly inspired
Finding my soul
There in your eyes
And you
Have opened my heart
And lifted me inside
By showing me yourself
Undisguised

I won’t ever be too far away to feel you
And I won’t hesitate at all
Whenever you call
And I’ll always remember
The part of you so tender
I’ll be the one to catch your fall
Whenever you call

And I will breathe for you each day
Comfort you through all the pain
Gently kiss your fears away
You can turn to me and cry
Always understand that I
Give you all I am inside

I won’t ever be too far away to feel you
And I won’t hesitate at all
Whenever you call
And I’ll always remember
The part of you so tender
I’ll be the one to catch your fall
Whenever you call

I won’t ever be too far away to feel you
And I won’t hesitate at all
Whenever you call

I won’t ever be too far away to feel you
And I won’t hesitate at all
Whenever you call
And I’ll always remember
The part of you so tender
I’ll be the one to catch your fall

The Beautiful Ones
Written by Prince

Baby, baby, baby
What’s it gonna be?
Baby, baby, baby
Is it him or is it me?

Don’t make me waste my time
Don’t make me lose my mind baby

Baby, baby, baby
Can’t you stay with me tonight?
Oh baby, baby, baby
Don’t my kisses please you right?

You were so hard to find
The beautiful ones, they hurt you
Every time

Paint a perfect picture
Bring to life a vision in one’s mind
The beautiful ones
Always smash the picture
Always every time

If I told you baby
That I was in love with you
Oh Baby, baby, baby
If we got married
Would that be cool?
You make me so confused

The beautiful ones
You always seems to lose

Outside
Written by M. Carey and W. Afanasieff

It’s hard to explain
Inherently it’s just always been strange
Neither here or there
Always somewhat out of place everywhere
Ambiguous
Without a sense of belonging to touch
Somewhere halfway
Feeling there’s no one completely the same

Standing alone
Eager to just
Believe it’s good enough to be what
You really are
But in your heart
Uncertainty forever lies
And you’ll always be
Somewhere on the
Outside

Early on, you face
The realization you don’t
Have a space
Where you fit in
And recognize you
Were born to exist

Standing alone
Eager to just
Believe it’s good enough to be what
You really are
But in your heart
Uncertainty forever lies
And you’ll always be
Somewhere on the
Outside

And it’s hard
And it’s hard
And it’s hard

Irreversibly
Falling in between
And it’s hard
And it’s hard
To be understood
As you are
As you are
Oh, and God knows
That you’re standing on your own
Blind and unguided
Into a world divided
You’re thrown
Where you’re never quite the same
Although you try-try and try
To tell yourself
You really are
But in your heart-uncertainty forever lies
And you’ll always be
Somewhere on the outside
