Ruben Studdard - Soulful (2005) by Ruben Studdard (보컬) on maniadb.com

It's like I missed a shot
It's like I dropped the ball
It's like I'm on stage
and I forgot the words
It's like building a new house
with no roof and no doors
It's like trying to propose
and I ain't got the ring
But girl I've apologized
a million times before
So here it comes again for
all the wrong I've done
Here's One million one
This is my sorry for 2004
And I aint gonna mess up no more
this year I'm a take this one
chance and make it real clear
I'm sorry and I'm sorry I'm sorry
in case I dont tell you
August September October November
'till your December I'm Sorry
Its like stayin' out at night
and had way too much to drink
It's like you change your hair
and I dont say a thing
It's like we're fallin' fast a sleep
with no kiss and before we hit
It's like I forgot your gift
on 02 14 03
But girl I've apologized
a million times before
So here it comes again for
all the wrong I've done
Here's One million one
Girl This is my sorry for 2004
And I aint gonna mess up no more
this year I'm a take this one
chance and to make it real clear
I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry
in case I dont tell you
August September October November
'till your December I'm Sorry
I'm sorry for the way that I did you
I'm sorry from the bottom of my heart
but how I hurt you girl
I'm sorry on the first day
sorry on the day
sorry for the things I did
Sorry for the things i said
sorry for the lies
sorry for the times
I didn't care what you want
I didn't care what you like
But all I can do is
tell you that I'm sorry babe

All them strip clubs
all them hot tubs
I'm gonna give them up 'cause I
dont want to lose you love no
This is my sorry for 2004
And I aint gonna mess up no more
this year I'm a take this one chance
and make it real clear
I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry
in case I dont tell you
August September October November
'till December I'm Sorry
Girl this is my sorry for 2004
Sorry 2004
Girl this is my sorry for 2004
Sorry 2004

I can think of younger days
when living for my life
Was everything a man could want to do
I could never see tomorrow
I was never told about the sorrow
And how can you mend a broken heart
How can you stop the rain
from falling down
Tell me how can you stop
the sun from shining
What makes the world go round
Oh how can you mend this broken man
How can a loser ever win
Please help me mend my broken heart
and let me live again
la la la la la
I can still feel the breeze
that rustles through the trees
And misty memories of days gone by
We could never see tomorrow
no one said a word about the sorrow

How can you mend a broken heart
How can you stop the rain
from falling down
Please tell me how can you stop
stop the sun from shining
What makes the world go round
Oh la la la la la la la la
Oh how can a loser ever win
Please help me mend
mend my broken heart
and let me live again
Listen baby
How can you mend a broken heart
How can you stop the rain
from falling down
Won't you please help
me my broken heart
and let me live again

Ladies and Gentlemen the time is now, ya'll all been waitin, we gone rock this now (swiss beats)

[Verse 1]
It dont matter

[Verse 2]
It dont matter

Cuz deep down inside a player wants some love
It dont matter

But i dont do one night stands no mo (no mo)
Girl im tryin to let you know

That i wanna make it right, that i need you in my life, down by 2 points and a 3 can win the game

[Chorus]

[Bridge]

You got it, you got it, you got it

[Chorus X2]
What is sexy? Love's in the eye of the beholder
Sex me, Baby we can get closer, freaky
Up in the crib, Come on over, sex me
Your so sexy, What is sexy?

Baby I saw you through my rearview
And you know I'm a big man
They say to know me is to love me
And you love me for who I am
So Imma win some, I lose
But the point is to chose
That one that keeps my happy
And my point of chosing you
Is the fact that you are so sexy, yeah

[Chorus]

I've been thinking (girl)
About you (girl)
If this world was mine, then its yours (girl)
But the cribs and the cars and jewels
Imma keep so I can floss with my boys on the weekends
And, I'm not scared of commitment
But the big man, Handles his business
And my business is you and me, coz you are so sexy...

[Chorus]

Baby I would do anything (girl)
Aint nothing I will do for your love [X4]

[Fat Joe:]
Yo, When it comes to chicks, Im sick wit it

Long ago

Before the second show

Don't you remember you
told me you love me baby
You said you'd be coming back
this way again
Baby baby baby baby ooh baby

Loneliness
is such a sad affair
Sad affair
And I can't hardly wait
Baby No I can't

And was to say to say
to make you come again

Everybody's looking
for that something
One thing that
makes it all complete
You find it
in the strangest places
Places you never
thought it could be
Some find it in the
faces of their chidlren
Some find it
in their lovers eyes
Who can deny the
joy it brings
When you find that
special thing
You're flying without wings
Some find it
sharing every morning
Some in their solitary lives
You find it in the
words of others
A simple line can
make you laugh or cry
You find it
in the deepest friendships
The kind you
cherish all your life
And when you
know how much that means
You've found that
special thing
You're flying without wings
So impossible
as it may seem
You've got to fight
for every dream
'Cause who's to know
Which one you let go
Would have made you complete
but for me
it's waking up beside you
To watch the
sunrise on your face
To know that
I can say I love you
At any given time or place
It's the little things
that only I know
Those are the things that
make you mine
And it's like flying
without wings
'Cause you're my
special thing
I'm flying without wings
You're the
place my life begins
And you'll be where it ends
I'm flying without wings
And that's the joy you bring
I'm flying without wings

We have not forgotten all you've done
Counting all blessing one by one
Your love cannot condemn
Instead you said you're only son
Keeping us from danger everyday
So we take this time to give you praise
We lift our voice to y'ou because
Above you theres no one

Thank you we thank you
Thank you oh lord
For all you've done for us
We never will forget
And we take this time to say thank
And we love and we lift and we praise you
There is no one like you
For all the wonderous things you've done

Now for all your giveness we will sing
All our gifts and talents now we bring
You blessed us and you kept us
And we owe you everything
And yes we will remember everyday
How you heard us when we pray
You constantly watched over us
My friends and family

Thank you we thank you
Thank you oh lord
For all you've done for us
We never will forget
And we take this time to say thank
And we love and we lift and we praise you
There is no one like you
For all the wonderous things you've done for us
We will remember and we say thank you

There is nothing more we can say
Cause you've been so good
Lord we wanna give you praise
Thank you for all you have done
Sending us your son
We was just wanna say thank you

You've been there for us
Lord yes you have
You held my hand
