Verse One (Tamika): Time has been short since you left me, So I can't help but think, Of how things between us used to be. You were a piece of my heart, And I thought we were swell, Until you told me you were leaving, To find a better life for yourself. Oh I... Chorus: I wish we were together again, Loving the way we used to love, Boy I miss you much. I wish we were together again, Oh how I'm missing you, It's so hard for me to say goodbye. Verse Two (Kandi): You know that I love you, And for you there ain't nothing in this world, That I won't do. If you would only come back to me, And let me show you how loving me could be. Bridge: (Tiny): I, I've got feelings, But you act like you don't care, You treat me so unfair. (Tamika): Love has no meaning, Since you walked right out my life. You've touched a part of me, Can't you see that I'm in need of you? Repeat Chorus to fade

As I stand here contemplating On the right thing to decide Will I take the wrong direction all my life Where will I go, what lies ahead of me?
I have strong determination And I'm not afraid of change I have yet to find that someone Who would care to satisfy me To stay right by me
1-Who can I run to? Who can I run to? To share this empty space Tell me Who can I run to? When I need love Who can I run to? Who can I run to? To fill this empty space with laughter Who can I run to? When I need love
Sweet love In my mind it's so confusing Who would be that special one Everyday I'm trying to find you On the run
I've got to know is there a place for me I know, hasn't been our meanings And a message very clear All it takes is time and patience To bring him near, but who can be? Tell me (rpt 1)
Hey baby, I wanna know one thing. Do you want me as much as I want you? Say you do
Never should have kissed you Never made that call I told myself In love I shouldn't fall Would've been a pleasure just to know your name OO, look at me, silly me, now I'm back in love again And there's nothing you can tell me Nothing you can do I just hope that you're in love with me The way that I'm in love with you
chorus: Do you want to Like I want to be in love with you Say you do Do you want to Like I want I wanna make love to you Say you do Never understand it Love that takes control oo, I asked myself Girl should you let it go? That would be to crazy Love without you Hate to think Happily that you won't be around Now there's nothing you can tell me Nothing you can say Promise me you'll stay with me Untill my dying day
Verse One (LaTocha): My man done left me on a midnight train, He said he wasn't thinking of ever coming back again. He told me he wanted me to find somebody else, He done left me here all by myself. Tell me... Chorus: What can I do? What, I'm still in love with you. Tell me what can I do? What, I'm still in love with you baby. Verse Two (LaTocha): When it first started it was all good, The things you done to me I never thought that you would. Didn't give me a reason why it had to end, I can't believe you left me for another ladyfriend. Bridge: (Kandi): You know I've been searching for someone, Who could share that special love with me. (Tamika): I thought you was the one, I gave my trust to you, I'm such a fool, I want you back, Tell me what am I to do? Repeat Chorus Break (LaTocha): I'm sitting by the phone, all alone, Tell me what can I do, tell me, tell me... Repeat Chorus to fade
We've been to the movies once or twice, Had a candlelight dinner baby, That was oh so nice. I enjoy all the times at the fair, And walking hand in hand on the beach, With the wind in my hair. Bridge (Kandi): Oh I really like all the things you do, But right about now my body's calling you. It seems like, it seems like, It's time to put all of that to the side. There's a time and place for everything, And at this time all I ask you bring is yourself, Cos tonight is just for you and me. I want you to... Chorus (Kandi): Let the night wind down baby Fall into my groove And meet me at my house To do like true lovers do I want you to... Let the night wind down baby Fall into my groove And meet me at my house To do like true lovers do Verse Two (LaTocha): When you come through my doors, Take off your clothes. I ain't got all mine baby, So you won't need yours. The places I'ma take you, You won't be needing them. So let's stop all this talking, And let the party begin. Repeat Bridge (LaTocha) Repeat Chorus to fade Outro: Let me show you how to love me, Let me show you where to touch me, Let me show you how to groove me. (Repeat x2

Intro: Shoop be doop Shoop be doop doop dah Shoop be doop Love's a funny thing
Verse One: (Tamika): Was only last night I felt you slip away, I tried so hard to hide the pain inside of me babe. I held you close but you weren't with me, I felt your mind a thousand miles away. (Tiny): I was a fool to let you break me down, You think by now that I would know, Just what to expect from you, oh. Everytime I fall, I make myself believe, That you are changing, And some day, the sun will shine through.
Chorus: Love is a funny thing, Your love is a funny thing, Love is a funny thing, Oooh.
(I don't wanna fall, don't wanna fall in love again)
Verse Two: (LaTocha): When I first met you your heart was empty, You were innocent and so full of joy. But now you've changed and I don't know you, You played me baby like a toy. (Tiny): You see, I was surprised to see you with that girl, When you said you'd never ever ever ever see her again, no. I don't want to control you, so baby if she's gonna hold you, Then why don't you just stay, stay where you've been.
Repeat Chorus (I never never wanna fall again, no no no)
Bridge (Kandi): Everybody needs someone to hold them through the night, And everybody needs someone to tell them it's alright. I gave you my heart and you only turned away, So tell me baby, what's going to make you stay.
Repeat Chorus (I never ever want to fall in love again)
Shoop be doop Shoop be doop doop dah Shoop be doop Love's a funny thing (repeat to fade)
No no, Tell me, tell me. Keep it on the real, (the real, the real, the real, the real, the real, the real, the real). Verse One (Kandi): Trust is something that we can't live without, Honesty must be there, ain't got no room for no doubt. Reality can't waste no more of our precious time, Trying to escape the pressures of our mind. Chorus: I don't ask for much, no no, Baby if you want me you gotta tell me something, yeah. All I want from you is just to keep it comin', Keep it on the real. (the real, the real, the real, the real, the real, the real, the real) Verse Two (Kandi): Faithfully I'll give my loving to you, Soulfully our spirits will make it through.

Suddenly, it happened so fast I couldn't believe the news that I received My heart stopped as I hit the floor I fell to my knees cryin' Lord help me
No matter what time brings All the changes we go through In life there's some things We just can't prepare for
I don't care what they say Don't care what they do I don't care what they think I'm gonna love you for the rest of my life Don't they know True love never dies I promise to love you for the rest of my life
Life goes on that's what they say Time will heal all your pain away But I feel, feel so alone and Now you're gone how can I live on
No matter what time brings All the changes we go through In life there's some things That we just can't prepare for
I don't care what they say Don't care what they do I don't care what they think I'm gonna love you for the rest of my life Don't they know True love never dies I promise to love you for the rest of my life
Until I see you again I'll hold on to sweet memories I'll treasure the times we spent I see I'd do anything I see your face, I see your smile Callin' out my name
I don't care what they say Don't care what they do I don't care what they think I'm gonna love you for the rest of my life Don't they know true love never dies I promise to love you for the rest of my life
I don't care what they say Don't care what they do I don't care what they think I'm gonna love you for the rest of my life
I don't care what they say I don't care what they do What they think 'Cause I promise, I promise To love you for the rest of my life (for the rest of my life)
