Hello
Good morning
How are you?
How am I, I'm doing
(Fine)
So fine
(So fine)
So fine
Hello
Good morning
How are you?
How am I doing?
(fine)
(so fine)

Written By Knight/Drakes/Shorten/Noble

From a place that had no meaning
From the wilderness of time
To the land of new beginning
Starting with a new design
Never doubted for a second
That I'd do it on my own
And I held onto my corner
Trusted in the things I know

You will never feel
How good it is to love me
Rather than control me
I don't need the world weighing down my shoulders
But that's all over here I am

I made it back
From a place called nowhere
I made it back
To do this once again
I made it back
From a place called nowhere
I made it back
Once again I made it back

Got a chance to fix up neatly
Set it off and not too late
Saw the light and walked towards it
I'm the master of my late
Coming up just wasn't easy
It took all the strength I had
Now I'm ready for the action
Mamma got a brand nu bag

You will never feel
How good it is to love me
Rather than control me
I don't need the world weighing down my shoulders
But that's all over here I am

Chorus (x2)

Flava, flava, flava
Brand new flava, flava flava

Restart, retrigger, press rewind and you just come again
Reset, reprogramme, wheel it back and you just come again
Restart, retrigger, press rewind and you just come again
Reset, reprogramme, wheel it back and you just come again

Funny how, when in love, everything your baby does has meaning
Then it ends, love is spurned and then your sanity returns you seething
What do you do?
You scream you shout you fall about, you do whatever suits ya
Yourself control is left to doubt
Revenge it seems so right
You weep you wail you tell your tale
To anyone who'll listen
Then when you find the time to chill, discover life is out there still, so

Find a way to start it again
Bring it back and start it over
Find another way to begin
Fade to grey and turn it over
Find a way to start it again
Bring it back and start it over, again, again, again

Most of us in our lives, made a choice and sacrificed our feelings
And who's to say, that you're okay, when you feel like the layers of your soul are peeling
Oh and I know, all you want is solitude, cuz you're ain't in the mood
But you gotta find a way to start again, so

Chorus

Restart, retrigger, press rewind and you just come again
Reset, reprogramme, wheel it back and you just come again
Restart, retrigger, press rewind and you just come again
Reset, reprogramme, wheel it back and you just come again

Oh and I know, all you want is solitude, cuz you're ain't in the mood
But you gotta find a way to start again

Restart, retrigger, press rewind and you just come again
Reset, reprogramme, wheel it back and you just come again
Restart, retrigger, press rewind and you just come again
Reset, reprogramme, wheel it back and you just come again

Chorus (x3)

You're a medicine baby
Just a little dose and I feel so fine
You're everything that I want
Yet everything that I fear
You are

You're an enema baby
You don't feel right but you can't leave my system
You're everything that I have
Yet nothing that I own (this is so wrong)

Damn the reason why
Can't get you off my head and say goodbye
And do I have to live this life a fool?
Knowing when I'm lonely I just keep coming back to you
Damn the reason why
Can't get you off my head and say goodbye
And do I have to live this life a fool?
Always coming back to you

(Gotta tell you)
You're an opiate baby
Send me on a high but in the end you'll kill me
I need to keep my sanity
That's the one thing that you'll take from me

(Ooh ooh ohh ooh baby)
You're a tidal wave baby
Dangerous to ride, but the rush is amazing
You've made me what I have become
Something I should have never have begun

And how is it so
That you stay with me like my own shadow
Hell, I've got my pride
So why do I keep coming on back
To
You
And oh

Chorus

Ain't nothing but those silly games
That's bonding you to my mind
Ain't no rhyme or reason other than "ooh bedtime"
Simply put, I just love to look at you
'Cos to love ya is a waste of time
That's the sum of it
No denying it
Cos we both know we're through

Oh! Damn the reason
That you should make me want you so
When I'm lonely - that's when you come
Why do I invite this misery?
Oh! Damn the reasons that make me cover both my eyes
So I can't see just what you are
And what you've done to me

Chorus (x2)

I'm a fool, just keep on coming back to you

Written By Knight/McIntosh

I never see you anymore, you're absent without leave

In life I learned a lot of things and what it brings to ya
And how it's good to be alone sometimes
I should've known you'd get an itch and you would switch on me
And runaway when day turned into night

'cause you're a good time sister, always out for something better
Just when I need a friend, you're absent without leave
Good time brother, called you friend when I knew better
Ain't got no time to spend, you're absent without leave

So many people that I found say they're down with ya
Then like a ship they sail on with a breeze
See in the sun, they get a touch and it's too much for 'em
They fall around you like the winter leaves

A little rain and they would run for cover (I can still remember)
When no one else could see the need to shelter (How could I forget?)
And knowing better times were round the corner (O I can still remember)
So now when summer skies turn into grey, here's what I say

Chorus (x2)

I never hear I never see you
I never hear I never see you no more (x3)

Chorus (x3)

Remember the time, I needed more than loving
The reassurance, that someone cared for me
You gave completely, with no conditions added
I'm standing by you for your time of need
You will see...

Lean on me
I'm your strong hand
I'm your strong hand
Lean on me
I'm your strong hand
I'm your strong hand

Let me enfold you, in love that feels familiar
I see you're hurting; I'll take your pain away
Rivers of sorrow, flow only for a season
Into the sea of tranquility, you will see...

Chorus

Ah yeah, Lean on me
You will see you're in my safety zone
You know
That my hand is strong
Lean on me
You will see you're in my safety zone
(You know)
That my hand is strong

You-ou
You can lean
Yes you can
You can lean
Ooh-ooh

Chorus (x2)

Written By Knight/Thomas/Pheto

It's a good thing the air feels cool today
And it's better that God, don't send the rain
And it's best if heaven holds back the clouds
Cuz inside 'o' me there's fire untamed

See everyday I find that 4 leaf clover
And everyday Lady Luck is at my door
And all of the fear I fight is in remission
To come around no more

And I'm feeling good, never better
In fact it's the greatest day of my life
And I'm feeling good, never better
In fact it's the greatest day of my life

It's a good thing your heater broke down today
And it's better you keep them drinks on ice
And it's best if you got them chills down in your soul
Cuz the heat inside 'o' me will surely suffice

And none of the world's restraints could ever hold me
and none of the superficial could tie me down
and none of the pain I felt was enough to break me
See my face was never made to from

Chorus

And I'm feeling... (Good)
Could you qualify that? (Never better)
And what day is today people? (The greatest day of my life, ah-ooh!) (Good)
Ohh (Never better ooh)
And what day is it?
(Whoah greatest day, greatest day)

See everyday I find that 4 leaf clover
And everyday Lady Luck is at my door
And all of the fear I fight is in remission
To come around no more

Chorus (x3)

All things work for better (gotta work together)
When people learn to love

We know that all things work together for our good (let me sing about it)
And that's alright (so right)
Alright (so good)
We know that all things work together for our good (and that's alright)
And that's alright

We know that all things work together for our good (think about it)
And that's alright (so right)
Alright (alright)
We know that all things work together for our good (I know, I know)
And that's alright
So right
So good

And it feels good
(Work together for our good)
Let me shout it out
(that's alright, so right)
(Alright, so right)
Said it's all good
So good
(Work together for our good)
(And that's alright)
(That's alright)

Somethin' deep is going on
Mother Nature set it off
I feel that we that we can carry on
Tomorrow, tomorrow
Somethin' deep is going on
Mother Nature set it off
I feel that we that we can carry on
Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow

We're not over yet
See our journey's just beginning and the future's set
Cos' see I need to be with you
Don't you worry none
See my shoes ain't walking nowhere but right back to home
Cos' see this vibe I feel is love

Chorus

There's a higher source
That sets the wheels of love in motion
It's the unseen force that'll bind us closer still
I just can't resist - and if I did it would be futile
See with every kiss, I, I, I can't help myself

Chorus

I believe it (do ya?)
Yes I do
Mother nature's settin' it off (set if off)
We got it (we got it)
A love so deep (yeah)
Believe it
I believe in us (do ya?)
Yes I do
Mother nature's settin' it off (set if off)
We got it (we got it)
A love so deep (so deep)

Baby just me and you
Together it's just us two
And it's getting deeper, yeah
Baby just me and you
Together it's just us two
It's getting deeper

Chorus (x4)

(Over and over and over)
Mmm, send me, move me love me
(Over and over and over)
Send me
Sugar

Have you ever seen me sit and wonder why you're here with me?
Of anyone you'd have your pick
Yet here is where you choose to be
Oh-oh
When you ask me why I smile (when you ask me why I smile)
Whenever you say my name (my name, my name, my name)
See when you speak you got this tone (talk to me babe)
Gives me thoughts I shouldn't say, ooh

Heaven preordained this
Nothing on earth could break us

(Ooh... over and over and over again)
Send me (send me)
Move me
Love me
(Ooh... over and over and over again)
Send me (love me baby)
(Move me baby love)
Sugar ohh...

Lover's Rock describes your groove
Rude boy, love is heavenly (Rude boy gimme rude boy love come on)
Cocoa butter chocolate smooth (cocoa butter chocolate smooth)
Dark skinned angel all for me (yeah yeah)
Heaven preordained this
Nothing on earth could break us

(Ooh... over and over and over again)
Send me
Move me
Love me
(Ooh... over and over and over again)
Send me (love me baby)
(Move me baby love)

Love just doesn't say enough (enough enough)
And yet it's everything and more
God gave you all the stuff (sent me an angel)
to give me what I'm looking for

Heaven preordained this
Nothing on earth could break us

Send me (send me)
(Move me)
(Love me)
Sugar don't you know?
Don't you know? Send me (love me baby)
(Move me baby love)

(Ooh... over and over and over again)
Send me
Move me
Love me
(Ooh... over and over and over again)
Send me (love me baby)
(Move me baby love)

(Ooh... over and over and over again)
Send me
Move me
Love me
(Ooh... over and over and over again)
Send me (over and over and over again)
(Move me baby love)

For Those Who Know

Written By Knight/McIntosh (1998)

Would I want, what I got, what I need (x2)

I got a canvas, paint and brushes too
What I need is the memory, to paint a picture of you
Love at a distance, my world's torn in two
And nothing, that I got, could ever compare, to the need of you
To the need of you

I know the journey, I know the distance and the time
But what I need is you beside me, to make my drive sublime
Love at a distance, my worlds torn in two
And nothing I got could ever compare, to the need of you
To the need of you

Would I want, ain't no little one time thing
What I got, is a bondafire love
What I need, is to have you closer to me
Cuz all this spare and time it don't ease my mind no

What I want, is for you to remember me
What I got, is the fear that you won't
What I need, is to bring our minds together
So we're synchronized when we fantasise oh, love at a distance
Oh baby, nothing that I got could ever compare to the need of you

Written By Knight/Sharbek

Starting at the beginning in a history of pain
It's hard to realise, a dream I've fantasised for so long
Suddenly my position turns around within one day
A transformation came born with freedom's name

This brave new world I live in seems a little easier to face
This deep blue sea I swim in, bears me up enough so I can float away

Hey hello good morning world
Yesterday's another girl
Lovin' every minute of my life, my life
Morning came to right the wrong
Yesterday's another song
Lovin' every minute of my life, my life

Got a whole new religion, I got a change of scenery
And yet in different ways, nothing ceases to amaze me
I'm a whole new woman, In a different kind a'way
Yet I remain unfazed my mind and body still un-swayed

This brave new world I live in never seems to hurt me anymore
This deep blue sea I swim in always seems to bring me to a safer shore

Chorus

Hello, good morning, how are you? Fine so fine
Hello good morning, how are ya doin? Fine so fine
Hello good morning, how are you? Fine so fine
Hello good morning, how are ya doin? Fine so fine

This deep blue sea I swim in always seems to bring me to a safer shore

Chorus (x3)

Hear me!

Yeah-ah
Oh oh
Ooh-ooh
Uh, hear what, hear what, hear what

Watch the way that people change
Flip the script and rearrange
Hoping they can just belong
Even when it's wrong, uh huh

Searching for identity
What's the next philosophy?
What's the next big thing in town?
That they can surround?

(Don't feel no shame)
Let them know you're not the same
(Don't feel no way)
You stand tall while people sway
(True to yourself)
Leave them fakers on the shelf
(Heed your calling)
Go and do your thing,
hear me...

Get up, get up and hold your ground
You don't care what goes around
Stand up, stand up and hold your ground
Hold your ground
Dem no bigger than us
No bigger than we
No bigger than you
No bigger than me
Dem no bigger than us
No bigger than we
No bigger than you
No bigger than me

Watch the way that people go
To the cat that runs the show
Next thing they are rolling thick
Down with that clique, hmm

Soon enough they act the same
Walk the same and talk the same
Until these so called inspired
State the look is tired

(Don't feel no shame)
Let them know you're not the same
(Don't feel no way)
You stand tall while people sway
(True to yourself)
Leave them fakers on the shelf
(Heed your calling)
Go and do your thing,
Let me hear you say...

Get up, get up and hold your ground
You don't care what goes around
Stand up, stand up and hold your ground (stand up)
Hold your ground
Dem no bigger than us
No bigger than we
No bigger than you
No bigger than me
Dem no bigger than us
No bigger than we
No bigger than you
No bigger than me

(Get up! Get up!)
Yeah
(You gotta gotta!)
(Stand up! Stand up)
Stand up on me
(Get up! Get up!)
Alright
(You gotta gotta!)
(Stand up! Stand up!)
Yeah yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

(Ah-ha, ah-ha, ah-ha)
(Ah-ha-ah-ha-ah-ha)
(Ah-ha, ah-ha)
(Ah-ha-ah-ha-ah-ha)
Get up and
Stand up and
Hold it
Get up and
Stand up and
Hold it
Feel it!

(Don't feel no shame)
Let them know you're not the same
(Don't feel no way)
You stand tall while people sway
(True to yourself)
Leave them fakers on the shelf
(Heed your calling)
Oh, go and do your thing,
Let me hear you say....

Get up, get up and hold your ground
You don't care what goes around (oh no)
Stand up, stand up and hold your ground (stand up and)
Hold your ground
Dem no bigger than us
No bigger than we
No bigger than you
No bigger than me
Dem no bigger than us

Hold your ground
Dem no bigger than us
No bigger than we
No bigger than you
No bigger than me
Dem no bigger than us
No bigger than we
No bigger than you
No bigger than me

People say that together we were both sides of the same coin
That we would shine like Venus in a clear night sky
We thought our love could overcome the circumstances
But my ambition wouldn't allow for compromise

I could see in the distance all the dreams that were clear to me
And every choice I had to make left you on your own
Somehow the road we started down had split us somewhere
Too late to realise how far apart we'd grown.

How I wish I, wish I'd done a little bit more
Now " Shoulda woulda coulda," means I'm out of time
Coz "Shoulda woulda coulda", can't change your mind
And I wonder, wonder what I'm gonna do
"Shoulda woulda coulda" are the last words of a fool

People ask how it feels to live the kind of life others dream about
I tell them everybody gotta face their highs and their lows
And in my life there's a love that I put aside, cause I was busy loving
something else
So for every little thing you hold on to, you've got to let something else go

Chorus

Fool if I would now forsake the opportunities are fate
I know I'm right where I belong
But sometimes when I'm not so strong I..

Chorus (x2)

this womans eyes ent got no colour
when i think about life without you
and even if its for the best regardless
its the hardest thing to do
looking at the path we'vr taken
we didn't leave a stone unturned
but don't you believe that this dont slay me
even if i act concerned

chorus
with a smile i'll face the world
though my eyes reflect the truth
i'm moving on
but you know i do
with a hole in my heart in the shape of you
with a hole in my heart in the shape of you

i step into unchartered water
and i'm afraid of what i've done
see i can't head towards my future
reminicing on just how far we had come ( yea )
maybe we could find redemption (maybe)
maybe then it all could make sense
but until then i must believe these words
even though i think you know
that i'm unconvinced

chorus

Stranger on the face of it,
Brother in the heart of a nation that prays for you,
Loves you.
Calls you by name

Struck out. Like some criminal,
Cut down like an animal.
Suddenly everything I know,
Just ain't the same.

We ask for solution?
Did anyone hear us?
For your retribution
Did anyone care?
So while this world marches on with the memory gone
My heart will remember.

You are my fallen soldier,
One of our many martyas,
I would have loved to know you,
Still you're my fallen soldier.

You are my fallen soldier,
One of our many martyas,
I would have loved to know you,
Still you're my fallen soldier.

You are my fallen soldier,
One of our many martyas,
I would have loved to know you,
Still you're my fallen soldier.

Beverley Knight : Guess my mama knew exactly what she meant the day she said,
"Be careful what you wish for. It will come to you"
Little did I know the day I met you.
You would demonstrate
How everything in mama's words would ring so true,
Independent people with a different take on living,
Now how did we become more than just good friends?

Chorus: Baby we make such a beautiful contradiction,
Together we are in no two ways the same,
Baby, we make such a beautiful contradiction,
And it's the very thing that sparks the flame.

Musiq Soulchild : You and I should be like oil and water.
But somehow we mix
Together and we make a very special blend.
Everyday we clash on politics, religion.
But we learned the
Art of how to kiss and make up in the end yeah.
Sometimes I beileve that we were born on different planets,
Alien invasion of my heart and soul.

Chorus.

I realise it.
You learn.
You gotta cry.
You gotta respect and
feel somebody you gotta fall.
You gotta rise
To really understand the things that make this little world go round.
That's what really makes us.
That's how we learn.

Sometimes I believe that we were born on different planets
Alien invasion of my heart and soul.

Chorus.

Chorus : Call me hurricane Jane.
Dry season's over.
Here comes the rain.
Sweeping over your plain.
Blazing as I go.
Call me hurricane Jane.
This kind of weather's hard to contain.
Nothing's ever the same.
When I start to blow.

Far from home.
Lonely time,
Thinking about.
You and I.
Pictures form in my mind.
All of them remain.
Here I go like before.
Signs that I can't ignore.
Close my eyes.
Cue the storm.
Ready for the change....
Call me.

Chorus.

Rushing in like a flood.
Barren Land.
Turns to mud
Every thought heats the blood.
Temperature will rise.
Ready to pump and it's all good,
I love me better than anyone could,
You insipre like you should and I cannot deny.

Chorus.

Said I rage like a fire.
And I flow like the water.
Ain't no surprise I was born under aries sign.
This is my body.
So I do what I choose.
Nothing to hide when I'm alone.
Cause there aint no rules.

Chorus.

Still got my fire, I'm never cold
It burns within me, it's taken hold
Still finding mountains , I've yet to climb
I still get lonely, but never mind

I'm the same
Same
As i
As I ever was
The same
As i
As I ever was
True to the last word baby
Still making myself heard baby
I'm the same


Yeah
I'm the same
Yeah

Still got my family, old friends of mine
I know they still will stand, the test of time
Still feel my history, my future too
Black gold and green, red white and blue

(chorus (x2)

Still got my temple. each curve and line
Those who can't get with that , ain't worth my time
Can't compromise no, that would be strange
I'm still that aries lady, ain't nothin' changed

(Intro)
Are you ready for me?
Better let me know
Are you ready for me?
Better let me know
Are you ready for me?
Better let me know
You'd better, you'd better do whatever's clever baby

(Verse 1)
How can you be down?
you gotta do whatever's clever
So that I will stick around
you gotta do whatever's clever
And you don't want to waste your time
you gotta do whatever's clever
You gotta go somewhere you gotta do whatever's clever
If you wanna step to me
You gotta do whatever's clever
So I'll listen carefully..
You gotta do whatever's clever
You gotta say whatever, hear whatever, mean whatever, hear whatever,
Feel whatever, think whatever do whatever's clever

So you want to roll with me,
Here's advice that you should heed
Common sense is all you need
To avoid my thunder
First of all talk to my face
Not the view below my waist
How we gonna conversate
While your head's down under?
Stop where are you going
If you were in my shoes, what would you say?
Stop, this is worth knowing
So a brother can't lose if he steps my way.
Stop where are you going
If you were in my shoes, what would you say?
Stop, this is worth knowing
So a brother can't lose if he steps my way.

(Chorus repeat)

Here's a very simple truth
"Monkey see is monkey do"
So you're never getting through
If your boys are busters
Finally please understand
All I have is by my hand
On my own I'm making ground
I am my own woman.
Stop where are you going
If you were in my shoes, what would you say?
Stop, this is worth knowing
So a brother can choose if he steps my way.
Stop where are you going
If you were in my shoes, what would you say?
Stop, this is worth knowing
So a brother can't lose if he steps my way.

(Chorus repeat)
(Intro repeat (x2))

In my life I have but one obsession
It consumes my thought both night and day
It shows in everything I've done
The will to be a number one
That's just how I pray
I've gotta run..

Faster than the lead
Just can't stop, can't go slow
I've gotta drive beyond full speed
Just can't stop still I know
No matter what you desire, how much you pursue
Well, it all comes to you

Mama says I gotta learn a lesson


From those who crash and burn and fade away
She tells me there's a higher hand
Presiding on a master plan
So what's in store who can say?
So I try to run

[chorus]

Possibility are infinite
I'm not the kind to wait
Maybe all the things you really need
To choose
What my mama said
But I've gotta run...

Oohhh you hit me like a high speed freight train
Just when I thought all was lost
Now intrigue desire racing all through my brain
I opened Pandora's box
My best friend done told me that you were the shit
See that added fuel to my fire
With the eyes of an angel and a mouth made for sin
Speaking words made to inspire

Something gotta hold of me
Hell 'O- automatic chemistry
This is the way I feel
You're just like a Bestseller mystery
I can't put down
I need to read to the end
Baby you flow so heavenly
Gotta turn to page one
Start you all over again

Blazing front cover in every which way
Tell me, what's behind that little smile?
I done read a couple things
I done read a coupla chapters
I like your turn of phrase
And oohh those lips beguile

(Chorus)

I just gotta know
Can I show just what it is
What it is you do, what you do to me
I just gotta know if I explode, you won't run away from me boy
I just gotta know , does it show in my face the way you look at me boy
I just gotta know can I go, unveil the mystery?

(Chorus)

Some people never recognise it
though it's right before their eyes
and shines in all its glory
they never ever see
they choose something that looks just like it
and it may glitter all the time
but gold it will never be
i guess you never held on to quality
or you woulda regognised by now
something so special so true
when it's standing right in front of you

chorus
I'm gold babe
catch me in the slipstream
passing by the fools who just don't know
pure gold babe
you're looking at the real thing
if you knew my worth you wouldn't let go
x2

oh no

Gold lies in rivers undiscovered
hidden from the sight of those
who don't know what to look for
they ain't never gonna find it
sometimes the value is uncovered
other times it's cast aside
by those who are just unsure

I guess you never held on to quality
or you would of recognised by now
something so special so true
when she's standing right in front of you

chorus

All the things you failed to see
separated you from me
i decides who wins my time
and who comes inside yeah
cause what is true and what is real
finds a way of being revealed
i don't even have to try
cause i'm certified... pure

chorus 2x

This is who I am

This is whol I am
Thisi who I am

This is where I stand
This is who I am

This is who I am
This is who I am
This is where I stand
This is who I am

This is who I am
This is who I a

People say that together we were both sides of the same coin
That we would shine like Venus in a clear night sky
We thought our love could overcome the circumstances
But my ambition wouldn't allow for compromise

I could see in the distance all the dreams that were clear to me
And every choice I had to make left you on your own
Somehow the road we started down had split us somewhere
Too late to realise how far apart we'd grown.

How I wish I, wish I'd done a little bit more
Now " Shoulda woulda coulda," means I'm out of time
Coz "Shoulda woulda coulda", can't change your mind
And I wonder, wonder what I'm gonna do
"Shoulda woulda coulda" are the last words of a fool

People ask how it feels to live the kind of life others dream about
I tell them everybody gotta face their highs and their lows
And in my life there's a love that I put aside, cause I was busy loving
something else
So for every little thing you hold on to, you've got to let something else go

Chorus

Fool if I would now forsake the opportunities are fate
I know I'm right where I belong
But sometimes when I'm not so strong I..

this womans eyes ent got no colour
when i think about life without you
and even if its for the best regardless
its the hardest thing to do
looking at the path we'vr taken
we didn't leave a stone unturned
but don't you believe that this dont slay me
even if i act concerned

chorus
with a smile i'll face the world
though my eyes reflect the truth
i'm moving on
but you know i do
with a hole in my heart in the shape of you
with a hole in my heart in the shape of you

i step into unchartered water
and i'm afraid of what i've done
see i can't head towards my future
reminicing on just how far we had come ( yea )
maybe we could find redemption (maybe)
maybe then it all could make sense
but until then i must believe these words
even though i think you know
that i'm unconvinced

chorus

Written By Knight/Drakes/Shorten/Noble

From a place that had no meaning
From the wilderness of time
To the land of new beginning
Starting with a new design
Never doubted for a second
That I'd do it on my own
And I held onto my corner
Trusted in the things I know

You will never feel
How good it is to love me
Rather than control me
I don't need the world weighing down my shoulders
But that's all over here I am

I made it back
From a place called nowhere
I made it back
To do this once again
I made it back
From a place called nowhere
I made it back
Once again I made it back

Got a chance to fix up neatly
Set it off and not too late
Saw the light and walked towards it
I'm the master of my late
Coming up just wasn't easy
It took all the strength I had
Now I'm ready for the action
Mamma got a brand nu bag

You will never feel
How good it is to love me
Rather than control me
I don't need the world weighing down my shoulders
But that's all over here I am

Chorus (x2)

Flava, flava, flava
Brand new flava, flava flava

Restart, retrigger, press rewind and you just come again
Reset, reprogramme, wheel it back and you just come again
Restart, retrigger, press rewind and you just come again
Reset, reprogramme, wheel it back and you just come again

Funny how, when in love, everything your baby does has meaning
Then it ends, love is spurned and then your sanity returns you seething
What do you do?
You scream you shout you fall about, you do whatever suits ya
Yourself control is left to doubt
Revenge it seems so right
You weep you wail you tell your tale
To anyone who'll listen
Then when you find the time to chill, discover life is out there still, so

Find a way to start it again
Bring it back and start it over
Find another way to begin
Fade to grey and turn it over
Find a way to start it again
Bring it back and start it over, again, again, again

Most of us in our lives, made a choice and sacrificed our feelings
And who's to say, that you're okay, when you feel like the layers of your soul are peeling
Oh and I know, all you want is solitude, cuz you're ain't in the mood
But you gotta find a way to start again, so

Chorus

Restart, retrigger, press rewind and you just come again
Reset, reprogramme, wheel it back and you just come again
Restart, retrigger, press rewind and you just come again
Reset, reprogramme, wheel it back and you just come again

Oh and I know, all you want is solitude, cuz you're ain't in the mood
But you gotta find a way to start again

Restart, retrigger, press rewind and you just come again
Reset, reprogramme, wheel it back and you just come again
Restart, retrigger, press rewind and you just come again
Reset, reprogramme, wheel it back and you just come again

Chorus (x3)

You're a medicine baby
Just a little dose and I feel so fine
You're everything that I want
Yet everything that I fear
You are

You're an enema baby
You don't feel right but you can't leave my system
You're everything that I have
Yet nothing that I own (this is so wrong)

Damn the reason why
Can't get you off my head and say goodbye
And do I have to live this life a fool?
Knowing when I'm lonely I just keep coming back to you
Damn the reason why
Can't get you off my head and say goodbye
And do I have to live this life a fool?
Always coming back to you

(Gotta tell you)
You're an opiate baby
Send me on a high but in the end you'll kill me
I need to keep my sanity
That's the one thing that you'll take from me

(Ooh ooh ohh ooh baby)
You're a tidal wave baby
Dangerous to ride, but the rush is amazing
You've made me what I have become
Something I should have never have begun

And how is it so
That you stay with me like my own shadow
Hell, I've got my pride
So why do I keep coming on back
To
You
And oh

Chorus

Ain't nothing but those silly games
That's bonding you to my mind
Ain't no rhyme or reason other than "ooh bedtime"
Simply put, I just love to look at you
'Cos to love ya is a waste of time
That's the sum of it
No denying it
Cos we both know we're through

Oh! Damn the reason
That you should make me want you so
When I'm lonely - that's when you come
Why do I invite this misery?
Oh! Damn the reasons that make me cover both my eyes
So I can't see just what you are
And what you've done to me

Chorus (x2)

I'm a fool, just keep on coming back to you

I never see you anymore, you're absent without leave

In life I learned a lot of things
And what it brings to ya
And how it's good to be alone sometimes
I should have know you'd get an itch
And you would switch on me
And run away when day turns into night
'Cos you're a...
Good time sister
Always out for something better
Just when I need a friend you're...
Absent without leave
Good time brother
Called you friend when I knew better
Ain't got no time to spend you're...
Absent witout leave
So many people that I've found say they're down wit ya
Then like a ship they sail on with the breeze
See, in the sun they get a touch, but it's too much for 'em
They fall around you like the winter leaves

A little rain and they would run for cover
(I can stil remember)
When no-one else could see the need to shelter
(How can I forget?)
Knowing better times are round the corner
(Oh I can still remember)
So now when summer skies turn into grey, here's what I say...
Good time sister
Always out for something better
Just when I need a friend you're...
Absent without leave
Good time brother
Called you friend when I knew better
Ain't got no time to spend you're...

Absent witout leave

oooh, oh sista, sista sista

sitting alone with her head full of empty thoughts
playing with time that she just doesn't have
dreaming that life is a stranger that brings you flowers
praying the dream is as real as she feels it is

dreams give you anything
knowing that chance could bring you to the other side
wanting her future there, feeling that love affaire
with the other side

(chorus)
sista sista, better run, better fly
better weather on the other side
sista sista, stand up tall, don't you ever fall
sista sista, can't you hear my call?

over the bridge turning right at the stop sign
lives a woman who thinks as you do
watching the world through the glair of a tv-screen
wondering what's round the corner for you

I would give anything, hoping that chance could bring me
to the other side
soon as my thoughts are clear, one day I'll see you there
on the other side

(chorus)

ooh, calling, calling
sista sista sista sista sista
my sista

(chorus)
(repeat chorus till end)

Remember the time, I needed more than loving
The reassurance, that someone cared for me
You gave completely, with no conditions added
I'm standing by you for your time of need
You will see...

Lean on me
I'm your strong hand
I'm your strong hand
Lean on me
I'm your strong hand
I'm your strong hand

Let me enfold you, in love that feels familiar
I see you're hurting; I'll take your pain away
Rivers of sorrow, flow only for a season
Into the sea of tranquility, you will see...

Chorus

Ah yeah, Lean on me
You will see you're in my safety zone
You know
That my hand is strong
Lean on me
You will see you're in my safety zone
(You know)
That my hand is strong

You-ou
You can lean
Yes you can
You can lean
Ooh-ooh

Chorus (x2)

Written By Knight/Thomas/Pheto

It's a good thing the air feels cool today
And it's better that God, don't send the rain
And it's best if heaven holds back the clouds
Cuz inside 'o' me there's fire untamed

See everyday I find that 4 leaf clover
And everyday Lady Luck is at my door
And all of the fear I fight is in remission
To come around no more

And I'm feeling good, never better
In fact it's the greatest day of my life
And I'm feeling good, never better
In fact it's the greatest day of my life

It's a good thing your heater broke down today
And it's better you keep them drinks on ice
And it's best if you got them chills down in your soul
Cuz the heat inside 'o' me will surely suffice

And none of the world's restraints could ever hold me
and none of the superficial could tie me down
and none of the pain I felt was enough to break me
See my face was never made to from

Chorus

And I'm feeling... (Good)
Could you qualify that? (Never better)
And what day is today people? (The greatest day of my life, ah-ooh!) (Good)
Ohh (Never better ooh)
And what day is it?
(Whoah greatest day, greatest day)

See everyday I find that 4 leaf clover
And everyday Lady Luck is at my door
And all of the fear I fight is in remission
To come around no more

Chorus (x3)

All things work for better (gotta work together)
When people learn to love

We know that all things work together for our good (let me sing about it)
And that's alright (so right)
Alright (so good)
We know that all things work together for our good (and that's alright)
And that's alright

We know that all things work together for our good (think about it)
And that's alright (so right)
Alright (alright)
We know that all things work together for our good (I know, I know)
And that's alright
So right
So good

And it feels good
(Work together for our good)
Let me shout it out
(that's alright, so right)
(Alright, so right)
Said it's all good
So good
(Work together for our good)
(And that's alright)
(That's alright)

Somethin' deep is going on
Mother Nature set it off
I feel that we that we can carry on
Tomorrow, tomorrow
Somethin' deep is going on
Mother Nature set it off
I feel that we that we can carry on
Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow

We're not over yet
See our journey's just beginning and the future's set
Cos' see I need to be with you
Don't you worry none
See my shoes ain't walking nowhere but right back to home
Cos' see this vibe I feel is love

Chorus

There's a higher source
That sets the wheels of love in motion
It's the unseen force that'll bind us closer still
I just can't resist - and if I did it would be futile
See with every kiss, I, I, I can't help myself

Chorus

I believe it (do ya?)
Yes I do
Mother nature's settin' it off (set if off)
We got it (we got it)
A love so deep (yeah)
Believe it
I believe in us (do ya?)
Yes I do
Mother nature's settin' it off (set if off)
We got it (we got it)
A love so deep (so deep)

Baby just me and you
Together it's just us two
And it's getting deeper, yeah
Baby just me and you
Together it's just us two
It's getting deeper

Chorus (x4)

send me move me love me

Send me
Sugar
Have you ever seen me sit
and wonder why you're here with me
Of anyone you'd have your pick
Yet here is where you choose to be
When you ask me why I smile
Whenever you say my name
See when you speak
you got this tone
Gives me thoughts
I shouldn't say
Heaven preordained this
Nothing on earth could break us

Send me Move me Love me

Send me Send me
Lover's Rock describes your groove
Rude boy love is heavenly
Cocoa butter chocolate smooth
Dark skinned angel all for me
Heaven preordained this
Nothing on earth could break us
Send me Move me Love me

Send me Send me
Love just doesn't say enough
And yet it's everything and more
God gave you all the stuff
to give me what I'm looking for
Heaven preordained this
Nothing on earth could break us
Send me

Sugar don't you know
Don't you know Send me

Send me Move me Love me

Send me Send me

Send me Move me Love me

Written By Knight/McIntosh (1998)

Would I want, what I got, what I need (x2)

I got a canvas, paint and brushes too
What I need is the memory, to paint a picture of you
Love at a distance, my world's torn in two
And nothing, that I got, could ever compare, to the need of you
To the need of you

I know the journey, I know the distance and the time
But what I need is you beside me, to make my drive sublime
Love at a distance, my worlds torn in two
And nothing I got could ever compare, to the need of you
To the need of you

Would I want, ain't no little one time thing
What I got, is a bondafire love
What I need, is to have you closer to me
Cuz all this spare and time it don't ease my mind no

What I want, is for you to remember me
What I got, is the fear that you won't
What I need, is to bring our minds together
So we're synchronized when we fantasise oh, love at a distance
Oh baby, nothing that I got could ever compare to the need of you

Written By Knight/Sharbek

Starting at the beginning in a history of pain
It's hard to realise, a dream I've fantasised for so long
Suddenly my position turns around within one day
A transformation came born with freedom's name

This brave new world I live in seems a little easier to face
This deep blue sea I swim in, bears me up enough so I can float away

Hey hello good morning world
Yesterday's another girl
Lovin' every minute of my life, my life
Morning came to right the wrong
Yesterday's another song
Lovin' every minute of my life, my life

Got a whole new religion, I got a change of scenery
And yet in different ways, nothing ceases to amaze me
I'm a whole new woman, In a different kind a'way
Yet I remain unfazed my mind and body still un-swayed

This brave new world I live in never seems to hurt me anymore
This deep blue sea I swim in always seems to bring me to a safer shore

Chorus

Hello, good morning, how are you? Fine so fine
Hello good morning, how are ya doin? Fine so fine
Hello good morning, how are you? Fine so fine
Hello good morning, how are ya doin? Fine so fine

This deep blue sea I swim in always seems to bring me to a safer shore

Chorus (x3)

The weather's hot like hell
It's sort of casts a spell
I want a friendly face
Inside a cool dark space

Yeah, summers begun
This is where one, needs to be two
Yeah I know i'm bold
But baby I'm sold on me with you

Come as you are
You can stand
Take my hand, I'll help
Come as you are
Don't be sad
Don't deny, yourself

So are we good to go?
Don't act like you don't know
This is a brand new dress
Don't want to make no mess...

Yeah, summers begun
We can have fun, playing for kicks
Yeah habits to feed
And baby I need to get my fix

Come as you are
You can stand
Take my hand, I'll help
Come as you are
Don't be sad
Don't deny, yourself

Come as you are
You can stand
Take my hand, I'll help
Come as you are
Don't be sad
Don't deny, yourself

Got to give a shout out
Going to the people who feel
What a sista like me is talking bout
Got to give a shout out
Going to the people who feel
What a sista like me is talking bout

Hey, hey, hey!

Come as you are
Come on

Come as you are
You can stand
Take my hand, I'll help
Come as you are
Don't be sad
Don't deny, yourself

Come as you are
You can stand
Take my hand, I'll help
Come as you are
Don't be sad
Don't deny, yourself

Do you wonder if your future rests on a mountain made of clay?
Climbing higher ain't an easy quest 'cause your ground's falling
away
Once upon a time you knew just what you wanted, who you were
Now you find there ain't a soul you trust, and your vision's all
a blur

Sweet baby, don't you cry
Everybody feels the same
Hope gives us reasons why
This is not a losing game

The world is going crazy
Everybody's spinning
Out of sync and out of time
Living in a movie
Waiting for the credits
Don't you know it's real life?
You can't let it phase ya
Trying to find the reasons
When it seems the bad outweighs the good
Until we lose our faith, fall from grace
It's not too late for love

There are times when we reach for the sky, and we tumble down to
earth
Still no closer to the finish line, though we've run for all
we're worth
We are living in the strangest years, there's so much
uncertainty
Seems as though some of our darkest fears have become reality

Sweet baby, don't you cry
See this storm is gonna pass
No matter how it tries
Troubled weather never lasts

The world is going crazy
Everybody's spinning
Out of sync and out of time
Living in a movie
Waiting for the credits
Don't you know it's real life?
You can't let it phase ya
Trying to find the reasons
When it seems the bad outweighs the good
Until we lose our faith, fall from grace
It's not too late for love

The world is going crazy
Everybody's spinning
Out of sync and out of time
Living in a movie
Waiting for the credits
Don't you know it's real life?
You can't let it phase ya
Trying to find the reasons
When it seems the bad outweighs the good
Until we lose our faith, fall from grace
It's not too late

The world is going crazy
Everybody's spinning
Out of sync and out of time
Living in a movie
Waiting for the credits
Don't you know it's real life?
You can't let it phase ya
Find the reasons
When it seems the bad outweighs the good
Until we lose our faith, fall from grace
It's not too late
I said it's not too late for or love

Its not too late, so put your faith in love
Its not too late, so put your faith in love

Through these misty eyes
It's plain to see
Even though you're here
You're not with me
Tortured by the thought, torn in two
Reason needs no voice, when you know it's true

But oh, we make our love again
And oh, it's easy to pretend
There's so much pleasure through this pain
I lie

I try to speak
But my tongue gets tied
I try to seek
But you're hard to find
My will is weak
'Cause my soul's resigned
It's like I'm seeing you for the first time

Still I feed my faith
Though it has no ground
And I tell myself I'm safe
As we're falling down
You said you'd let me know
If the end was near
Now do I let you go?
It's still unclear

But oh, good sense has gone to waste
And oh, it fades in your embrace
I know what keeps me in this place
Your smile

I try to speak
But my tongue gets tied
I try to seek
But you're hard to find
My will is weak
'Cause my soul's resigned
It's like I'm seeing you for the first time

And oh (whenever I try to speak) my tongue gets tied
And oh (whenever I try to seek) you're hard to find
And oh (whenver I try to feel) my soul's resigned
It's like I'm seeing you, for the first time
It's like I'm seeing you
It's like I'm seeing you
It's like I'm, I'm seeing you
It's like I'm seeing you

I try to speak (whenever I try to speak)
But my tongue gets tied
I try to seek (whenever I try to seek)
But you're hard to find
My will is weak (whenever I try to feel)
'Cause my soul's resigned
It's like I'm seeing you for the first time

I try to speak, yeah (whenever I try to speak)
But my tongue gets tied
I try to seek (whenever I try to seek)
But you're hard to find
My will is weak (whenever I try to feel)
'Cause my soul's resigned
It's like I'm seeing you for the first time
It's like I'm seeing you for the first time
It's like I'm seeing you for the first time

Why, why can't you be happy for me?
Now I've found someone who'll put up with me
I'm no little girl, I'm the woman you raised
I need some answers, you got me fazed
With your prejudice
Was there something I missed
When you told me you love me?

You want me in your straight jacket
You won't accept me without it though
You know it's the one I've outgrown
You want me in your straight jacket
You'll never close me in your brackets
Don't you realise you're out on your own?

Please, please understand my choice
Why you trying to stifle my voice?
I sympathise with the way that you feel
But time stops for no-one
And you're standing still
And nothing grows under a shadow
I'm sorry, it's not my story

You want me in your straight jacket
You won't accept me without it though
You know it's the one I've outgrown
You want me in your straight jacket
You'll never close me in your brackets
Don't you realise you're out on your own?

I'm sorry that my life didn't turn out as you meant
Nothing is an accident
It's all just in the script
It's something to accept
I know you won't admit
You only hurt yourself
I can't do this by myself

'Cause we've been banging our heads
On the same piece of the same wall
At the same time
For far too long now
And nothing lasts forever
So what else is new?
You held us all together
We're all waiting for you

You want me in your straight jacket
You won't accept me without it though
You know it's the one I've outgrown
You want me in your straight jacket
You'll never close me in your brackets
Don't you realise you're out on your own?

You want me in your straight jacket
You won't accept me without it though
You know it's the one I've outgrown
You want me in your straight jacket
You'll never close me in your brackets
Don't you realise you're out on your own?

Even when you don't know
I'll be right by your side
Even when you think you're all alone
I'll be by your side, yeah

I'll be right behind you
Keep on going
In whichever way the wind is blowing
I'll be there 'til the
World stops turning
Baby I will keep this fire burning

When nobody else is
I am on your side
Baby when you're not even yourself
I am on your side

I'll be right behind you
Keep on going
In whichever way the wind is blowing
I will be there 'til the
World stops turning
Baby I will keep this fire burning

Even when you've lost your faith in love
Even when there is no light above
Even when you wanna run and hide
I'll be on your side

I don't think you even know
How far I'm about to go
If you put your trust in me
I'll keep it coming
Ain't nobody stopping me
When it comes to you and me
Nothing's like it used to be
I'll keep it coming

I'll be right behind you
Keep on going
In whichever way the wind is blowing
I will be there 'til the
World stops turning
Baby I will keep this fire burning

I don't think you even know
How far I'm about to go
If you put your trust in me
I'll keep it coming
Ain't nobody stopping me
When it comes to you and me
Nothing's like it used to be
I'll keep it coming

I'll be right behind you
Keep on going
In whichever way the wind is blowing
I will be there 'til the
World stops turning
Baby I will keep this fire burning

I will be your sister
I will be your brother
I will be your friend
I will be your lover
I will be your everything, yes I will, yeah
Baby I will keep this fire burning

Every day found us together
But no-one knew of fate's design
Just as we begun to really live our dreams
Life ran out of time

Every moment shared was worth it
Memories only I can claim
Though it hurts so much
It helps me understand
No-one ever loves in vain

What we had showed me the power
Of a very special friend
Our amazing bond we formed while you were here
Well that will never end

Every moment shared was worth it, oh yeah
Memories only I can claim, yeah
Though it hurts so much
It helps me understand
That no-one ever loves in vain

Sometimes I feel like I am so lonely
And that's when I know that everything's changed
Yet through the tears I smile and say
I'm so glad you came

Every moment shared, well it was worth it
Memories only I can claim, only me, yes
And though it hurts so much
You helped me understand
No-one ever loves in vain

Intuition I could not ignore
Came to help me in my time of danger
Wasn't easy walking out the door
But I knew any other place was safer
And the freedom that I now enjoy
Helps the bruises in my heart to face
'Cause I know I am not afraid

You can never feel the joy and pain
That you've never known
Far too much emotion to explain
In a story that is not your own

How you gonna try to sing the blues
When the only key you know is major?
Walk a mile in someone else's shoes
And the ups and downs have got to change ya

You can't tell me that you understand
'Til my bitter tears roll down your face
'Til you're standing in my place

You can never feel the joy and pain
That you've never known
Far too much emotion to explain
In a story that is not your own

Now I've got it together
I will always remember
Where I've been, where I'm going
Why I'm here, why I'm living
Now I've got it together
There's no more desperation
Only my affirmation
To live for me

You can never feel the joy and pain
That you've never known
Far too much emotion to explain
In a story that is not your own

The morning after, oh what a night
This little picture was painted right
I got the memory stuck in my mind
Now I want your body on permanent rewind
Some folks just like a little
But oh, I need a lot
Are you designed for overtime?
To give me all you got?

Just call me supasonic
Too much for eyes to see
A freaky workaholic
Can you keep you with me
Just call me supasonic
I'll leave you in a spin
'Cause when you think you've done it
I'm about to start again
Say yes, say no, don't take too long
Blink and I'll be gone
Long, long gone

Boy I ain't playin, I've just begun
You best be staying, my love is far from done
Don't leave me wishing you had a twin
Don't be resisting - get up and get in
It's like I'm always hungry
Can't kerb this appetite
I'll take my cake and I'll eat it too
Can't stop at just one bite

Just call me supasonic
Too much for eyes to see
A freaky workaholic
Can you keep you with me
Just call me supasonic
I'll leave you in a spin
'Cause when you think you've done it
I'm about to start again
Say yes, say no, don't take too long
Blink and I'll be gone
Long, long gone

Just call me supasonic
Too much for eyes to see
A freaky workaholic
Can you keep you with me
Just call me supasonic
I'll leave you in a spin
'Cause when you think you've done it
I'm about to start again
Say yes, say no, don't take too long
Blink and I'll be gone

Just call me supasonic
Too much for eyes to see
A freaky workaholic
Can you keep you with me
Just call me supasonic
I'll leave you in a spin
'Cause when you think you've done it
I'm about to start again
Say yes, say no, don't take too long
Blink and I'll be gone
Long, long gone

There she goes again
She tells you all the things your heart wants to hear
Problem is, my friend
Her words are not exclusive, just for your ear

I know just what you're going through
When love leaves you alone
Those long cold nights on your own

Could be you need some tea and sympathy
Could be you need my hands all over your body
Could be she can't do what comes naturally to me
If you change your mind
Let me sympathise

There I go again
Can't help what's on my mind, I know I'm intense
Well I don't mean to offend
But she done played ya like a game, all smiles and pretence
Well maybe what you're looking for is closer than you know
Let me show you where you can go

Could be you need some tea and sympathy
Could be you need my hands all over your body
Could be she can't do what comes naturally to me
If you change your mind
Let me sympathise

Listen to me
I know my intentions are politically incorrect
But understand me boy, I'm so infatuated
Come to me, I can be all the things she won't be
Come and get my love

Could be you need some tea and sympathy
Could be you need my hands all over your body
Could be she can't do what comes naturally to me
If you change your mind

Could be you need some tea and sympathy
I see the way your eyes burn holes in my body
I'll show you what you and I could be
Baby if you come inside
I'll be waiting
Let me sympathise

Tea and sympathy

Come to me
I can be, what you need faithfully
Come to me
I can be, all your tea and sympathy
Come to me
I can be, what you need faithfully
Come to me
I can be, all your tea and sympathy

The cab I didn't call, didn't come
It's four in the morning
Sometimes I know you're telling me the truth
Just Like I know you're lying now

I'm still coming
I'm still standing and staying
I'm not swaying
I'll taste your tears when I hold you near

You can only tune in so far
Before life freezes you just as you are
You can only get so deep in
Before someone wipes away that grin
You an only push me so much
'Til I'm too tender to touch
And you can only take you so far
Before you fall below my radar

The 'yes' you're waiting on will not come
It must come from you
Sometimes I know you're lying to everyone
It's all too easy to see through

I'm still coming
I'm still standing and staying
I'm not swaying
I'll taste your tears when I hold you near

You can only tune in so far
Before life freezes you just as you are
You can only get so deep in
Before someone wipes away that grin
You an only push me so much
'Til I'm too tender to touch
And you can only take you so far
Before you fall below my radar
Below my radar

So you run and I run, but you stick close to me
You're in front and you're faster, but just by degrees
You don't give it easy, not even an inch
Why do I find you so hard to convince?
Oh lord

You can only tune in so far
Before life freezes you just as you are
You can only get so deep in
Before someone wipes away that grin
You an only push me so much
'Til I'm too tender to touch
And you can only take you so far
Before you fall below my radar
Below, below my radar

Running about in a daze in the heart of London
I'm on a mission to make it to work on time
How many people around me begun their day like mine?
So much confusion would mess with your mind

Do you feel the pressure
To make a change?
Can't go on living the same?

My neighbor told me his boss had served him his notice
He had no choice but to change all his future plans
Now like so many he's hustling away every dime he can
Too much frustration can break anyone

Do you feel the pressure
To make a change?
Can't go on living the same?

Ooh, round and round we go until we lose all sense of our
direction
I believe it's up to us to stop and make a reconnection
Can't go on living the same

Living the same

Do you feel the pressure?
To make a change
Can't go on living the same?

Hope springs eternal
Where faith is done
We all live under the same sun

Just one moment
In the blink of an eye
Did I miss it
When you said your goodbye?
Heaven help me
There's a hole in my head
'Cause my last memories
Were the words that you said

Said you didn't want to lose me
Said you needed time to breathe
So tell me what the hell do I do now?

Left an open door
Can't use words no more
Quietly insane
'Til I see ya, 'til I see ya
I can hardly wait
Patience has been great
I won't speak your name
'Til I see ya

Feeling nervous
What are you tryin' to say?
Play your message
In my mind everyday
Analysing every pause in the line
So convincing when you said you were mine

Said I didn't have to worry
Said you didn't want to leave
So how come you're not here with me right now?

Left an open door
Can't use words no more
Quietly insane
'Til I see ya, 'til I see ya
I can hardly wait
Patience has been great
I won't speak your name
'Til I see ya

Until I see that vacant look in your eye
That's more than words can say
Just want your honesty
If you chose to leave or stay
Then tell me
'Cause I need to know

Left an open door
Can't use words no more
Quietly insane
'Til I see ya, 'til I see ya
I can hardly wait
Patience has been great
I won't speak your name
'Til I see ya

Left an open door
Can't use words no more
Quietly insane
'Til I see ya, 'til I see ya
I can hardly wait
Patience has been great
I won't speak your name
'Til I see ya, 'til I see ya

In the corner of the city
There's this vibrant little kid
Loves to sing and play his air guitar
In the way that I once did
He has all the world's ambition
But he lives on borrowed time
With his terminal condition, he'll be gone before he's nine

Sometimes when you look in the eyes of strangers
You begin to see faces that you know
They could be you and me, you never know
Which way the wind may blow
Which way the wind may blow

In the corner of the city
There's a man in lonely plight
So-called friends no longer visit
Family stay out of sight
See, he used to be a doctor
But his illness is full-blown
Now the very folk whose lives he saved refuse to help his own

Salvador, Salvador, Salvador,Salvador
Salvador, Salvador, Salvador, Salvador

Sometimes when you look in the eyes of strangers
You begin to see faces that you know
They could be you and me, you never know
Which way the wind may blow

Sometimes when you look in the eyes of strangers
You begin to see faces that you know
They could be you and me, you never know
Which way the wind may blow

What you gonna do if it hits your street, hits your home?
Ah hah, could you deal if you found you'd been disowned?
Mmm-hmm Tell me, don't you be a judge of another's fate
'Cause the day you do
You will find that a higher hand will judge you too
I want you to understand

Sometimes when you look in the eyes of strangers
You begin to see faces that you know
They could be you and me, you never know
Which way the wind may blow

Sometimes when you look in the eyes of strangers
You begin to see faces that you know
They could be you and me, you never know
Which way the wind will blow

Sometimes when you look in the eyes of strangers
You begin to see faces that you know
They could be you and me, you never know
Which way the wind will blow

Sometimes when you look in the eyes of strangers
You begin to see faces that you know
They could be you and me, you never know
Which way the wind will blow

Do you remember
There was once a young woman
And she had loved you like no other before
When you were together
You were the heart and soul of the party

Now them days is over
Them times, them times are no more
Though you're gone I can still feel your presence
Least I think that's the way it should be
So wherever you are take a minute
Remember me, remember me

Sometimes it feels like I'm left in this darkness
God called your number and then he just turned out the light
Heaven embraced you and I know, I know that you're happy
But, oh I miss you, I miss, I miss you and I cry for you every
night

Well, one day we will be reunited
Least I hope that is our destiny
So while you chill in the arms of angels
Remember me, remember me

Remember me, oh please
Remember me
Remember me

After you...
I felt the pain of losing my pride
And I walked away from the tears that you cried
But now I realize...
No sun ever shines through the shadows of dawn
I wish I could dream but the nightmare goes on
I miss you day and night

I felt it coming
I started running
But love was there behind me
After you

(Chorus:)
Nothing is real, nothing is sure,nothing is forever
After you..
Nothing goes on, everything's wrong, nothing makes it better
After you...

All that i gained you've taken away
I ain't gonna beg cause there's nothing to say
Just emptiness inside...
You opened the door to heaven for me
Now Im outside and you've taken the key
And every dream i had has died

I saw it coming I started running
But everything reminds me
After you

(Chorus)

After all the times I've tried
Nothing keeps me satisfied
After all the nights i prayed
Oh you seem so far away...
After you there's nothing left... nothing left there's nothing left
After you babe...

(Chorus)

Surfing channels
Trying to fool my feelings
It's like they're still resisting
Goes little demons
Trying to leave in
But they keep on playing over again

This 4 walls share my conversations
Wish I could tell someone
But my voice keeps breaking
So ashamed you're still living reveree in my brain... in my brain

(Chorus:)
I'm saying
I can't move on... stumbling 'round
Hanging on... but going down...
No man's... no man's land

People say
Keep your head up
Watch the sun rising
Everybody has big advice for me
But all I wanna know is
What the hell went wrong... oh what went wrong

(Chorus)

But i will rise to the sun again
I have no doubt
But i just don't know when
Sometimes I can change anything
But then again...

(Chorus x2)

After you...
I felt the pain of losing my pride
And I walked away from the tears that you cried
But now I realize...
No sun ever shines through the shadows of dawn
I wish I could dream but the nightmare goes on
I miss you day and night

I felt it coming
I started running
But love was there behind me
After you

(Chorus:)
Nothing is real, nothing is sure,nothing is forever
After you..
Nothing goes on, everything's wrong, nothing makes it better
After you...

All that i gained you've taken away
I ain't gonna beg cause there's nothing to say
Just emptiness inside...
You opened the door to heaven for me
Now Im outside and you've taken the key
And every dream i had has died

I saw it coming I started running
But everything reminds me
After you

(Chorus)

After all the times I've tried
Nothing keeps me satisfied
After all the nights i prayed
Oh you seem so far away...
After you there's nothing left... nothing left there's nothing left
After you babe...

(Chorus)

Let me introduce you to
B-Funk
Let me show you a new school concept to funkin' (oh yeah)
It's called the B-Funk (Oh yeah)
And i'm inspired by an older generation
who wern't affraid to give their all and nothing else (oh Yeah)
The B-Funk
(Flex)

I'm moving on up the right side
where money's no friend of mine
I realise your importance
I'm gonna leave what's left behind

Ooh I'm going uptown downtown roundtown baby
shaking my head for you
now I'm understanding

Love is the only way to lead a better lifestyle
nothing else for free can change your whole way of living
the only security to lead a better lifestyle
the best things in life are free
thank you for showing me

You're giving me all new direction
I'm leaving the rat race behind
I'm giving it all up 'cause I've found
a loving state of mind

Ooh I'm going uptown downdont roundtown baby
shanking my head for you
Now I'm understanding

You're the one for me, I'm the one for you
It's a mutual feeling, the feeling is mutual
You're the one for me, I'm the one for you
It's a mutual feeling, the feeling is mutual

I knew the feeling was mutual
When I first laid my eyes on you
There was nothing anyone could do to change my mind
I could tell we would do just fine

As long as you love me truthfully
Nothing can divide us, no-one in between us
The way I feel is so strong
you're the one I really need
Make your loving real

Together love can be beautiful
I know you're feeling the same way too
There's only few that can understand what we have
Except that they'll never catch the vibe

As long as you can see ain't no time for "3"
Nothing can divide us, no-one in between us
Cuz when you're down in my groove, baby
I'm the only one you need, it's the place to be

Feel the flavour for your feet

Everybody need a place to chill
Gotta stop the world standing still
Don't you know I got a place to go? I tell ya
Funky people let me come back to ya
Understand we got the stuff to move ya
Anybody with the funk oughta know

So you don't have to play around
Take someone you love
Show them where it's at
'Cos there's a time for getting on
Time to feel the flow
like we used to know, and can we....

Keep the flavour of the old school
See what happiness we're bringing
Keep the flavour of the old school
Everybody's got that feeling
Keep the flavour of the old school
See what happiness we're bringing
Keep the flavour of the old school
Everybody's got that feeling, that feeling

Keep the flavour for the babies growing
Pass it on so we can keep them knowing
that positivity is going on, I tell ya
I think about it with your head in motion
Funky music ain't the strangest notion
When you feel it in your soul

Feel the flavour for your feet
'Cos it's the one to make you move
Feel the flavour on the street
this is the one to make you groove

Put your arms around me
Feel what you can do
You can take away my bad mood
You can do me good

Oh hey
Oh yeah
Ohh

Your love is remedy
The sweetness in my life
You have the ability
To put me right

As long as you're beside me
I am not afraid
You've given me security
It keeps me warm and safe

I love you
I need you
I love you
I need you

Your love is a remedy
The sweetness in my life
You have the ability
To put me right

Your love is a remedy
The sweetness in my life
You have the ability
To put me right

There is so much more that you can do
Ain't nobody like you
Who makes me feel like a girl
Whose on top of the world

Your love is a remedy
The sweetness in my life
You have the ability
To put me right

Go down for the one
Bump up on the two
Go down for the funk game
Go down for the one
Bump up on the two
Go down for the funk game

I recall the rise and fall
In the funky little jams we used to throw down to
Am I coming through?
For those who know the two-step flow
You'll remember how we used to love the 'tic tac toe'
It was strong but slow

Let it overcome you
'Til you got no choice to
Tune in to what we wanna see you do

Go down for the one
Bump up on the two
Go down for the funk game (oh get down)
Go down for the one
Bump up on the two
Go down for the funk game

As you chill, recall the thrill of intoxicaing moves that make you feel so high
Like the Butterfly
And I would doubt you'd be without the best of what the DJ had to play to you
Like he oughtta do

Let it overcome you
'Til you got no choice to
Tune in to what we wanna see you do

Go down for the one
Bump up on the two
Go down for the funk game (get down, get down)
Go down for the one
Bump up on the two
Go down for the funk game

Move your body to the funk!
(Just move it)
Move your body to the funk!
(Oh won't you get down?)
Move your body to the funk!
Move your body to the funk!
Move your body to the funk!
Move your body to the funk!

Move your body to the funk!
(Move it, move it, move it, move it up for me)
Move your body to the funk!

Let it overcome you (Let it overcome you)
'Til you got no choice to ('Til you got no choice to)
Tune in to what we wanna see you do (sing it, sing it, oh won't you go and get down)

Down, like you know you should
Better get up on the old school flavour
Down, like you know you should
(Get up) Get down, (get up) get down (get down)
Down, like you know you should
Better get up on the old school flavour
Down, like you know you should
Get down, get down (you gotta, you gotta, you gotta get down)

Down, like you know you should
Better get up on the old school flavour
Down, like you know you should
Get down, get down

Sometimes the everyday things can really get you down
yes, I know and sometimes you seem to carry problems
when I'm not around
And they grow, still I

I could never leave you lonely
You know that would never do
Sure as the sun will rise and the moon will shine
My love's the same for you

Feelings change like rain to snow
But the love inside will never go
I tell ya that whatever comes
I'll promise you forever (x2)

Some hearts blow in the wind like falling leaves
In every changing season, easy to offend
Don't you ever think that's my intention
We're one person - you're my friend

I could never....
Whenever you think of me - don't you worry 'bout a thing
Whenever I think of you - Your my everything
Whenever we think of each other - it's more than emotion
I may not be there, but I still care
Remember I'm talking forever

It's funny how we see the worst of things
we look at our stress and strains
even measure our labour and pain
and it's all in vain.
Why do we feel some things will never change
feeding on a negative vibe.
Wheeling on a downward site
But I learned...

That thru' it all, I couldn't fall
on you I call; you deliver me
When fading fast, all troubles past
On you I cast; for you said,
"Let me carry all your problems
your fears are my concern, and in return
I ask you...

"Cast all your cares on me
Nothing is too much for me to bear
Cast all your cares on me
Understand that I will be there
Cast all your cares on me
Things will be alright, I'm telling you
Cast all your cares on me
for I care for you

The little things help me to realise
that I have a friend in you
even when I don't feel like I do
though inside I knew
And when I need to feel that I'm loved again
All I do is call your name ("Abba father")
and my pressure starts to wane

Lord I just call your name
and with your spirit you bring me love
Lord I just call, Lord I just call your name, your name
I know you're listenin'
Lord I just call, Lord I just call your name,
you answer my prayer
Anytime I need a friend, I call you Lord, I do I do
and when you touch me with your goodness
I could never feel the same

Written By Beverley Knight

Goodbye innocence, you didn't stay too long
You were her haven, her solace while she was young
But Fate decreed that fear would form her personality
And she would cry when daylight passed, knowing that the night would bring
...Daddy

Goodbye innocence, you made her happy
Goodbye innocence, you saved her from pain
But you weren't enough, to break the heavy fall
Goodbye
Goodbye innocence

Now a woman, her character's 'unclean'
Childhood haunts her, she's fighting the things unseen
A slave to memory, relived as she sleeps
And freedom like the prisoner, whose fate is sealed by hate
Is a dream

Chorus

If only she found a reason to trust somebody
She would find a friend in me, o yes
See, I can't take away the pain, that she endured no, no, no
But I try to ease her misery

Chorus

I'm moving on up the right side
where money's no friend of mine
I realise your importance
I'm gonna leave what's left behind

Ooh I'm going uptown downtown roundtown baby
shaking my head for you
now I'm understanding

Love is the only way to lead a better lifestyle
nothing else for free can change your whole way of living
the only security to lead a better lifestyle
the best things in life are free
thank you for showing me

You're giving me all new direction
I'm leaving the rat race behind
I'm giving it all up 'cause I've found
a loving state of mind

Ooh I'm going uptown downdont roundtown baby
shanking my head for you
Now I'm understanding

Ooh I'm going uptown downdont roundtown baby
shanking my head for you
Now I'm understanding

You're the one for me, I'm the one for you
It's a mutual feeling, the feeling is mutual
You're the one for me, I'm the one for you
It's a mutual feeling, the feeling is mutual

I knew the feeling was mutual
When I first laid my eyes on you
There was nothing anyone could do to change my mind
I could tell we would do just fine

As long as you love me truthfully
Nothing can divide us, no-one in between us
The way I feel is so strong
you're the one I really need
Make your loving real

Together love can be beautiful
I know you're feeling the same way too
There's only few that can understand what we have
Except that they'll never catch the vibe

As long as you can see ain't no time for "3"
Nothing can divide us, no-one in between us
Cuz when you're down in my groove, baby
I'm the only one you need, it's the place to be

You're the one for me, I'm the one for you
It's a mutual feeling, the feeling is mutual
You're the one for me, I'm the one for you
It's a mutual feeling, the feeling is mutual

I knew the feeling was mutual

There was nothing anyone could do to change my mind

I'm the only one you need, it's the place to be

People say that together we were both sides of the same coin
That we would shine like Venus in a clear night sky
We thought our love could overcome the circumstances
But my ambition wouldn't allow for compromise

I could see in the distance all the dreams that were clear to me
And every choice I had to make left you on your own
Somehow the road we started down had split us somewhere
Too late to realise how far apart we'd grown.

How I wish I, wish I'd done a little bit more
Now " Shoulda woulda coulda," means I'm out of time
Coz "Shoulda woulda coulda", can't change your mind
And I wonder, wonder what I'm gonna do
"Shoulda woulda coulda" are the last words of a fool

People ask how it feels to live the kind of life others dream about
I tell them everybody gotta face their highs and their lows
And in my life there's a love that I put aside, cause I was busy loving
something else
So for every little thing you hold on to, you've got to let something else go

Chorus

Fool if I would now forsake the opportunities are fate
I know I'm right where I belong
But sometimes when I'm not so strong I..

this womans eyes ent got no colour
when i think about life without you
and even if its for the best regardless
its the hardest thing to do
looking at the path we'vr taken
we didn't leave a stone unturned
but don't you believe that this dont slay me
even if i act concerned

chorus
with a smile i'll face the world
though my eyes reflect the truth
i'm moving on
but you know i do
with a hole in my heart in the shape of you
with a hole in my heart in the shape of you

i step into unchartered water
and i'm afraid of what i've done
see i can't head towards my future
reminicing on just how far we had come ( yea )
maybe we could find redemption (maybe)
maybe then it all could make sense
but until then i must believe these words
even though i think you know
that i'm unconvinced
