[Verse 1:]
Even... Even if I don't have much to my name
And through the ups and downs it come with faith in my life
You pat me on the back and rub away the pain cause your my baby, my darlin'
Priceless... You're priceless, no dollar amount can buy the friendship you bring
You are the first lady worthy of a king... My queen
The moment I set eyes on you I knew I would fall

[Chorus:]
See life ain't so bad after all
You make it better, better, better, better
You make it better, you make it better, You make it better, you make it, you make it better,
You make it better, better, better, better
You make it better, you make it better, You make it better, you make it better... I know your love Gets more better, more better with time

[Verse 2:]
Like a rainbow cutting through to take out the clouds
When you come around girl and make me smile
Its a joy to hear you say things will work out some how
Cause you're my baby, my darlin'
So promise, promise me and I'll promise you
Promise and I'll make a vow to, to you girl
Cause from the moment I set eyes on you
I knew that fairy tales come true

[Chorus:]

[Bridge:]
Now I know I'm kind of young but I got an old soul
So I'ma break it down for you for a moment
And tell you how much I appreciate you
When you whisper in my ear "baby it will be okay",You make it better
Rub my body after a hards days work, you make it better
Wakin' up to you in the morning, you make it better
Late in the midnight hour, you make it better
Now I can be the riches man on earth and not have much at all
But we got something priceless

[Chorus:]

Woman,
There is good music but there is no goodbye... so I'm finnin' to kiss that ass hello then praise high heaven, a scale of one to ten cannot appraise a fly eleven... you're my ghetto queen like thelma evans, if you looking for a dude then I am devin... woman, you are ice cold holy water when I'm going through hell, and we are a provocative love story that I'm going to tell... let me be so many cool breezes on the hottest day of the year, and you are holistically the topic of my discussion, not just your rear... so please baby let me make love to you, my career, and then flip me into a hypocrite cause I beg for your moisture as I dry each tear... damn woman, you sweet sticky thing... I am drenched in your wetness so this kool-aid smile can change the attitude of gratitude that you would even let this happen, and thanks for not snapping when our rapping didn't reflect your worth... so this is me tapping into your maple syrup and letting each drip, drop into my mouth so I skip downtown and slip down south, this w
ay I can sip me some flow from the mouth of your mighty mississippi until I am tipsy... or till there's none left and if done right, you'll mention malik and God in one breath... I love you to death, na I love you to life, love of my life, love you as my wife... I don't even need a number to call you, sister, goddess, baby, momma, so blessed that you are my baby momma... super thorough although they seem to trip when you young... but woman you defy physics you crib out west but stay on the tip of my tongue... so technically you occupy two spaces simultaneously... you are God and body same as me... so I worship your dichotomy... shamelessly... cause you drown me... and set me on fire too...
Woman,
I desire you

Desire... where are you when I need you most? Can't you tell the way I long for you? I think it's unfairly wrong of you teasing me like you do baby. Could it be you do it just for fun, when you know I am the only one? Cause you know you are the only one I...


Desire (oooh you make me)
Desire (in the morning I)
Desire (you baby)
Desire (make me desire you, you, you, you)


Desire... please tell me why must you make me beg? Desire please stop running through my head. Is it that you love to play cat and mouse? Give me a clue what to do, help me out. Perhaps I'm your subject or just your muse. It feels so damn good to be used, when you know I am the only one.


Desire (ooohh I desire you)
Desire (I can't help the way I desire you)
Desire (ohhhhhhhhh)
Desire (I can't sleep at night... at night)
Desire (I wanna... I wanna touch you with...)
Desire (desire you)
Desire (passionately with desire)
Desire (I wanna kiss you with every...)

Every... every part of me wants every part of you (yeah). I desire you.
I... desire you (I desire you) I... de-sire you. I... desire you (if there ever was a time baby) I... de-sire you (desire you ? I would say the time is now). I... desire you (come to me oohhh) I... desire you (it's urgent... can't you, can't you hear it in my voice how I desire you).



Don't take too long. Don't take too long. Please come to me. I want you.

As the seconds turn to minutes
As the minutes turn to hours
As the sound of love is hollared
Time just keeps elapsing
And I just keep climaxing
With sweaty palms
To say the least
And you know just what to do
To curl my toes
When she blows, there I go
I lose all control
And there's no need for batteries
Once you turned on your lights

I respond to her femininity

The sweet taste of heaven
I taste when I kiss you
Sugar, you fulfill the passion
You make all my daydreams come true
I'm caught in your seduction
You make me less my more and more
When it rains, girl it pours
From the vibe to the core
Now feel your hands
Stretch my back
As you play in my lap
Let it go, let it go
Let it go, let it go

["Let it go" with ad-libs till fade]

Kiss me like when I dream of you
Notice me, act like you have a clue
Flirt with me, act like I interest you
Like my eyes do, wish I could undress you
So I try to find the words
But I only suffocate
Then my palms they start to sweat
And my shirt is soakin` wet

You give me the butterflies
You give me the nervous side of life
Don`t walk by just say "hello" baby
You are my day dreams when I`m awake

Let`s sleep like I pretend we do
Convince me that day dreams do come true
Picture as where I picture you
And I just panic when you`re in bird`s eye view
And I try to say "hello" and the words don`t come out right
Wish I could find myself but it`s a losing fight

You give me the butterflies
You give me the nervous side of life
Don`t walk by just say "hello" baby
You are my day dreams when I`m awake

I go dreamin` you go wakin` me
You won`t catch me and I keep fallin` girl
You only notice me in a perfect world
But the world is so imperfect so...

You give me the butterflies
You give me the nervous side of life
Don`t walk by just say "hello" baby
You are my day dreams when I`m awake
You are my day dreams when I`m awake
You are my day dreams when I`m awake

It was pure coincidence
I met her on da block when
She was from da land of Venus

Her voice was like da perfect song
Brown eyes,hair long chemistry was good between us

Met anotha' on a charter plane,
On my way back from Spain
Her name was Mariah
(Mariah)

But I don't really need her
(I don't need her)
Cause da fact of the matter is

[Chorus]

Even if I took her numba' to call her
(Shes not you)
If we laid down there'd be no love involved
(She wont do)
Ooo she cant do me like you can cause
(Shes not you)
See my mind is made up I don't wanna wake up
I don't wake up and roll over if
(Shes not you no)

Lips full hips wide
Dancer at 55
Make you wish you was her pole
Drinks done last call{where}
Gotta go we can neva be involved
Had a video shoot real petite
Pretty cute met a girl by the name of Susane
(Susane)
Jus' like Mariah
(Mariah)

I don't need her
(I don't need her)
Cause the fact of the matter is

[Chorus]

Even if I took tha 7 digits tryna be slick
(Shes not you)
If I cross the line laid wit' her 1 time oh
(She wont do)
She wont do, do do do do do like you do no no
(Shes no you)
Plus my mind is made up
I don't wanna wake up
Don't wanna wake up n roll ova if
(Shes not you no)

You
She don't compare to you baby
Mm mmm mmm mm
She,
She dont cook like you baby
Mm mmm mmm mm
And if she did,
Prolly wouldn't be good as yours

Foreva' and eva' and eva',
Foreva' and eva' and eva'

You belong to me

[Chorus]

Even if I took her number hey hey yea
(Shes not you)
And I called her 1 time tryna be slick 1 time and lay with her
(She wont do)

I thought id hear your voice (hello, hello, hello)
But instead the operator says your number's changed
My apologies (my apologies)
Please forgive me please
For I've been selfish and I'm to blame
If I could reverse the years (If I could reverse the years)
To take back all the tears
I'd rewrite the screenplay
But life don't work that way (what you mean it don't work that way)
So lonely here I lay
Wishing you was still my lady
When it's not easy to walk away (try, try, try, try again)
When you don't really mean what you say (try, try, try, try again)
When you feel incomplete
Don't you go losing sleep
I think you should try again
Can we try again
Try again
The perfume you used to wear (the sweet perfume you used to wear)
Sometimes I smell it in the air... and do a double take
And sometimes I play your song (sometimes I play your song)
Just to dance along
Just to cut the pain
Please forget me not (don't forget, don't forget, don't forget, don't forget me)
If ever you should tie the knot
Or just find somebody new
I hope this rights the wrongs that I've done
See I composed this song
Cause it's hell without you.See winter's too cold without you
Summer too lonely without you
And I can't stop thinking about you
Can we try again
Oh fall that's when we met
Spring it was times I can't forget
My Cinderella, my Juliet
Can we try again

[Spoken]
Close your eyes and imagine life with me
Now imagine life without me
Could you do it?
I couldn't imagine life without you
Without you, I'd be... Empty
To lie in the bed alone-empty
Shotgun in the ride-empty
My heart, my heart-empty

[Verse 1]
Ooh, you know you're lovesick when ya
Answer the phone and you hope to hear her voice
Ooh, you know you're lovesick when ya
Shut it down & make that girl your only choice
Ooh, lovesick when
When you wake up in the morning (just to fix her breakfast)
And I'll tell you how you know, your heart'll tell you so
When you found something good, you just can't let it go

[Chorus]
One might spend a whole lifetime
Tryin' to find, the love that I have here with you
My heart & my... Speaks for you
Without you I'd be lovesick and empty (I'd be empty without ya)
Love, so empty (ooh, so empty without ya)
Lovesick & empty (I'd be empty without ya)
So empty (So empty)

[Verse 1]
Ooh, you know you found the one
When you get on bended knee and words come out like marry me
Ooh, yes, you know you found the one
When the seconds feel like heaven in the blink of an eternity
Ooh, you know you found the one
When there's no thought of time and she's always on your mind
Ooh, you know you found the one
When you wanna be a better man, and man up like you can

[Chorus]

[x2]
Only gonna be alone
Searching the world for whatcha got at home
That would be a tragedy
If you miss out on what's meant to be

[Chorus]

[Spoken]
Right after a light rain, have you ever seen a rainbow that touched the sky?
Where it meets next to a pot of gold
That's what your beauty... Your beauty reminds me of
Like a full moon, it hangs next to the heavenly clouds from which you came
You're my shining star
I'd be lovesick

[Verse 1]
I taste sweet melodies every time I kiss you
I yearn and toss and turn, every time I find myself missing you
Rain falls your sound is wet, don't feel as wet when ain't inside of you
Your skin is so a silhouette, at the stroke of my finger tips
Cause I hope your not the prototype, but the makings of the real deal
See it's been some time been some time since you came around
So I recognize just what I feel

[Chorus]
It's that old four letter word that I feel you, when I touch you yeah
It's that old four letter word that I taste, when I kiss you yeah
It's that old four letter word that I recognize, so familiar yeah
It's that old four letter word Love love love love love love love

[Verse 2]
I feel sexy and confident, when I illuminate in your eyesight
I feel speechless and spellbound, so what's the use of even tryin' to put up the fight
I let down all my guards, you persuaded me when you did the same
I'm through it, played all my cards, I found a higher ground, a higher place
See it's been some time been some time, I know where you been, I been waitin' on ya

But welcome back, I hope you're here to stay, here to stay
I always here about, sing about, even write about ya
Just know I had ya till ya slipped away

[Chorus]
It's that old four letter word that I feel you, when I touch you yeah
It's that old four letter word that I taste, when I kiss you yeah
It's that old four letter word that I recognize, so familiar yeah
It's that old four letter word Love love love love love love love

This time this time this time this time
This time this time this time this time
This time this time this time this time
This time this time this time this time
This time this time this time this time
This time this time this time this time
This time this time this time this time
This time this time this time this time
