Whitney Houston

Over and over
I look in your eyes
You are all I desire
you have captured me
I want to hold you
I want to be close to you
I never want to let go
I wish that this night
would never end I need to know
Could I hold for a lifetime
Could I look into your eyes
Could I have this night to share
this night together
Could I hold you close beside me
Could I hold you for all time
Could I could I have this kiss
forever
Could I could I have this kiss
forever forever
Over and over I've dreamed of
this night
Now you're here by my side
you are next to me
I want to hold you and touch you
and taste you
And make you want no one but me
I wish that this kiss could
never end oh baby please
Could I hold for a lifetime
Could I look into your eyes
Could I have this night to share
this night together
Could I hold you close beside me
Could I hold you for all time
Could I could I have this kiss
forever
Could I could I have this
kiss forever forever
I don't want any night to go by
Without you by my side
I just want all my days
Spent being next to you
Lived for just loving you
And baby oh by the way
Could I hold for a lifetime
Could I look into your eyes
Could I have this night to share
this night together
Could I hold you close beside me
Could I hold you for all time
Could I could I have this kiss
forever
Could I could I have this kiss
forever whenever forever

Could I have this kiss forever
Could I
have this kiss forever

If I should stay,
I would only be in your way.
So I'll go, but I know
I'll think of you ev'ry step of the way.

And I will always love you.
I will always love you.
You, my darling you. Hmm.

Bittersweet memories
that is all I'm taking with me.
So, goodbye. Please, don't cry.
We both know I'm not what you, you need.

And I will always love you.
I will always love you.

(Instrumental solo)

I hope life treats you kind
And I hope you have all you've dreamed of.
And I wish to you, joy and happiness.
But above all this, I wish you love.

And I will always love you.
I will always love you.
I will always love you.
I will always love you.
I will always love you.
I, I will always love you.

You, darling, I love you.
Ooh, I'll always, I'll always love you.

Share my life
Take me for what I am
Cuz I'll never change
All my colors for you
Take my love
I'll never ask for too much
Just all that you are
And everything that you do

I don't really need to look
Very much farther
I don't wanna go
Where you don't follow
I don't hold it back again
This passion inside
Can't run from myself
There's nowhere to hide

Don't make me close one more door
I don't wanna hurt anymore
Stay in my arms if you dare
Must I imagine you there?
Don't walk away from me
I Have Nothing
Nothing
Nothing, if i don't have you
(you-oo, you-oo, you)

You see through
Right to the heart of me
You break down my walls
With the strength of your love (mm..)
I never knew
Love like I known it's with you
Will the memories survive?
One I can hold on to

I don't really need to look
Very much farther
I don't wanna go
Where you don't follow
I don't hold it back again
This passion inside
Can't run from myself
There's nowhere to hide
You're the love I remember forever

Don't make me close one more door
I don't wanna hurt anymore
Stay in my arms if you dare
Must I imagine you there?
Don't walk away from me
I Have Nothing
Nothing
Nothing, if i don't have you
(you-oo, you-oo, you)

Don't make me close one more door
I don't wanna hurt anymore
Stay in my arms if you dare
Must I imagine you there?
Don't walk away from me
I Have Nothing
Nothing
Nothing, if i don't have you
(you-oo, you-oo, you)

Don't walk away from me
Don't walk away from me
Don't you dare walk away from me
I have nothing
Nothing
Nothing, if I don't have you
You, if I don't have you

Whatever you want,
Whatever you need,
Anything you want done, baby,
I'll do it naturally
'Cause I'm every woman
It's all in me.
It's all in me, yeah!

* I'm every woman,
It's all in me.
Anything you want done, baby,
I'll do it naturally.

**I'm every woman,
It's all in me.
I can read your thoughts right now,
Every one from A to Z.

I can cast a spell,
Of secrets you can tell,
Mix a special brew,
Put fire inside of you.
Anytime you feel danger or fear,
Then instantly
I will appear 'cause...

* Repeat

I can sense your needs
Like rain unto the seeds.
I can make a rhyme
Of confusion in your mind.
And when it comes back to
some good old-fashioned love,
I've got it, I've got it,
I've got it, got it, baby, 'cause...

* Repeat

** Repeat

I ain't braggin' 'cause I am the one
You just ask me, oo, it shall be done.
And don't bother to compare,
I've got it.

I'm every woman...

I know that when you look at me
There's so much that you just don't see
But if you would only take the time
I know in my heart you'd find
Oh, a girl who's scared sometimes
Who isn't always strong
Can't you see the hurt in me
I feel so all alone

*I wanna run to you, oo
I wanna run to you, oo
Won't you hold me in your arms
And keep me safe from harm
I wanna run to you, oo.
But if I come to you, oo
Tell me will you stay
Or will you run away

Each day, each day I play the role
Of someone always in control
But at night, I come home and turn the key
There's nobody there, no one cares for me
Oh what's the sense
Of trying hard to find your dreams
Without someone to share them with
Tell me, what does it mean

*Repeat

Run away,
No, I need you here
I need you here to wipe away my tears
To kiss away my fears
No if you only know how much

*Repeat

*I've got the stuff that you want,
I've got the thing that you need.
I've got more than enough
To make you drop to your knees
'Cause I'm the queen of the night,
The queen of the night
Oh yeah,
(oh yeah, oh yeah./Just say it, say it, say.
'Cause I'm the queen of the night,
the queen of the night, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah.)

Don't make no difference
If I'm wrong or I'm right,
I've got the feeling
And I'm willing tonight.
Well, I ain't nobody's angel.
What can I say?
Well, I'm just that way.

* Repeat

You got a problem
With the way that I am?
They say I'm trouble and I don't give a damn.
But when I'm bad,
I know I'm better.
I just wanna get loose,
And turn it up for you.

* Repeat

* Repeat

I am the queen of the night,
the queen of the night, oh yeah.
'Cause I'm the queen of the night,
the queen of the night, oh yeah.

Yes,Jesus loves me this I know
For the Bible tells me so

Little ones to Him belong
they're weak but He's strong

<repeat>

Everyone falls in love sometimes
Sometimes it's wrong
And sometimes it's right
For every win
Someone must fail
But there comes a point when
When we exhale (yeah, yeah, yeah)

*Shoop shoop shoop
Shoop be doop shoop shoop
Shoop be doop shoop shoop
(All you got to say is shoo be doop)
Shoop be doop shoop shoop
Shoop be doop shoop shoop
Shoop be doop shoop shoop
Shoop be doop shoop shoop
Shoop be do

Sometimes you'll laugh
Sometimes you'll cry
Life never tells us
The when's or why's
When you've got friends to wish you well
Ypu'll find a point when
You will exhale(yeah yeah yeah)

*repeat

Hearts are often broken
When there are words unspoken
In your soul there's
Answers to your prayers
If you're searching for
A place you know
A familiar face
Somewhere to go
You should look inside yourself
You're halfway there

Sometimes you'll laugh
Sometimes you'll cry
Life never tells us
The when's or the why's
When you've got friends to wish well
You'll find a point when
You will exhale (yeag yeah yeah)

*repeat

Why does it hurt so bad
Why do I feel so sad
Thought I was over you
But I keep crying
When I don't love you
So why does it hurt so bad

Just don't give in

*Count on me through thick and thin

Helping you to carry on
Call on me, I will be there

> Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy,
Do you hear what I hear
Ringing through the night, shepherd boy,
Do you hear what I hear
A song, a song, high above the trees
With a voice as big as the sea
With a voice as big as the sea

Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king
Do you know what I know
In your palace warm, mighty king
Do you know what I know
A child, a child, shivers in the cold
Let us bring him silver and gold
Let us bring him silver and gold

Said the king to the people everywhere,
Listen to what I say
Pray for peace, people everywhere,
Listen to what I say
A child, a child, sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light
He will bring us goodness and light

This ones for you Curtis, I love you.
(do do do dooooo . . .)

If you look into your heart
With a positive mind
Take some inventory of your woman and your glory
Leave the bad things behind (ooh)
Everybodys got a story (yes they do)
About love and the good things
But all the spices of your life
You just got to pay the price
If you know what I mean (ooh yeah)
I'm telling everybody
I know how a girl becomes some pride
When I finally found there was nothing left
I said I do believe I found myself
And I want to give it to you baby oh yes I do (yeah yeah)
So if you look into your heart
With a positive mind
You can take some inventory of your woman and your glory
Leave the bad things behind
And your woman really loves me we don't have that everyday (oh no no no)
I know my man really needs me I say it
What ever he wanna do I wanna do it with you baby (yeah yeah)
(do do do doooo . . .)
Jump on the night
Love's not an easy game
And he's strong and he's straight
Now that I see
What he's givin' me
I say what ever he wanna do
I wanna do it with you baby
I'm loving you more and more and more and more
And giving you all and all of me
I say now mercy baby
I'm loving you more and more and more and more
I'm giving you all and all of me
Oh yes I am
Say mercy baby
I'm loving you more
Mercy baby
Mercy baby
Mercy baby

We all wanna make a place in this world,
We all want our voice to be heard
Everyone will want a chance to be someone,
We all have dreams we need to dream,
Sweeter than any star you can reach
Coz when you reach and find,
You found someone
You'll hold this world's most priceless thing,
The greatest gift that Life can bring
Is when you look back and know you are loved..

*You are loved by someone,
Touched by someone
Held by someone
Be something to someone
Love somebody
Touch somebody's heart along the way
You can look back and say

You are loved.. yes you are

You can have diamonds in your hands
Have all the riches in the land
But without love, you don't really have a thing, no no
Will somebody care that you're alive
Will somebody trust you with her life,
That's the way you know
That you have all you need.
You hold this world's most priceless gift,
The finest treasure that there is..
You can look back and know , you are loved

*Repeat

Yes you are loved

So many roads that you can take,
Whatever way you go
Don't take the road alone...
It's better you should know..

You are...

*Repeat

You did Ok, You are loved..

So remember to tell that special one (yes..)
You are loved.. you are loved
You're loved...you are loved~ (yeah)

From the moment I saw you
I went outta my mind
Though I never believed in
Love at first sight
But you got a magic boy
That I just can't explain
Well you got a, you got a way
That you're makin me feel
I can do, I can do anything for you baby
I'll be down for you baby
Lay all my cards out tonight
Just call on me baby
I'll be there in a hurry
It's your move so baby baby decide
Chorus:
Whatever you want from me (whatever)
I'm giving you everything (you want boy)
I'm your baby tonight (I'll be your baby, I will be your lady)
You've given me ecstasy
You are my fantasy (you are boy)
I'm your baby tonight (I am your babe)

From the second you touched me
I was ready to die
I've never been fatal
You're my first time
I feel like an angel
Who just started to fly
Well you got a, you got a way that
You make a me, feel I can, feel I can
Do anything for you baby
I will fly for you baby
Hold on and enjoy the ride
I'm not in no hurry
We can fly all night baby
It's your move now baby
Baby let's fly

Chorus

Whatever I do boy
It's all about you baby
And ain't it the truth boy
I'm helplessly in love with you
What else i can do boy
But be there for you baby
You got a, you got a way that
You makin me feel-I-can, feel-I-can

Chorus

Looks like I'm fatal
It's all on the table
And baby you hold the cards
You got the magic
And I've got to have it
I don't want the pieces
I want every single part
I'll be your angel
I'm ready and able
Whatever you want is fine
Whenever you're ready
Just call on your lady
And I'll be your baby tonight

Chorus

One night not long ago
I fell for you
Too easy to let go
She was one from your past
One of the few
You said it didn't last
Now Romeo you know
I can't believe
Your tongue would slip so easily
I know you think I
oughta let it be
But get it right Next time
That's the end of me
My name is not Susan
So watch what you say
If you still need her
Then be on your way
Don't wanna hear about Susan
She got nothin' on me
So show some respect
For the love you receive
My name is not Susan

get it right
Last night you were asleep
Deep in a dream
I heard you call her name
Then you turned to embrace
I froze in place
Never to be the same
Now Romeo you know I never knew
My heart would bust so easily
I know you think I
oughta let it go
But get it right Next time
Say good bye to me boy
My name is not Susan
So watch what you say
If you still need her
Then be on your way
Don't wanna hear about Susan
She got nothin' on me
So show some respect
For the love you receive
My name is not Susan
So watch what you say
If you still need her
Then be on your way
Don't wanna hear about Susan
She got nothin' on me
So show some respect
For the love you receive
My name is not Susan
I never wanna be the girly
That you call one and only
You know the kind of girly
That you would call
when you get lonely
I never should have let you in
A damn shame
Forgot my name Well anyway
My name is not Susan
So watch what you say
If you still need her
Then be on your way
Don't wanna hear about Susan
She got nothin' on me
So show some respect
For the love you receive
My name is not Susan

Don't wanna hear about Susan

My name is not Susan
So watch what you say
If you still need her
Then be on your way
Don't wanna hear about Susan
She got nothin' on me
So show some respect
For the love you receive
My name is not Susan
So watch what you say
If you still need her
Then be on your way
Don't wanna hear about Susan
She got nothin' on me
So show some respect
For the love you receive
My name is not Susan
So watch what you say

I used to cry myself to sleep at night
But that was all
Before he came
I thought love had to hurt to turn out right
But now he's here
It's not the same
It's not the same

Chorus:
He fills me up
He gives me love
More love than I've ever seen
He's all I've got
He's all I've got in this world
But he's all the man that I need

And in the morning when I kiss his eyes
He takes me down
And rocks me slow
And in the evening when the moon is high
He holds me close
And won't let go
He won't let go

(Chorus)

I hope you realize baby
Just what you mean to me
Hey you where I run for cover
Your love is shelter for me
And when I find myself needing
Some lifting up
One night with you and
That always is enough
How you make being in love
A true rare affair
So take me I'm your prisoner

Chorus:
WIll you sentence me
To be your lover for life
Your lover for life
Will you sentence me
I wanna be your lover for life
Your lover for life
Your lover yeah yeah yeah

I just want to hear you say
You'll be my lover, lover for life
Capture, there's no getaway
You're my lover, my lover for life

Under your spell or
Under my own power
It really doesn't matter to me
No boy
See I fell in love
The first time I saw you
And have been falling in love
Ever since mm boy

You heard my testimony
You've seen my evidence
Hey, it's a crime of passion
In every sense
And justice would be served
If you stay here in my world
So take me I'm your prisoner

Chorus:
WIll you sentence me
To be your lover for life
Your lover for life
Will you sentence me
I wanna be your lover for life
Your lover for life
Your lover yeah yeah yeah

I just want to hear you say
You'll be my lover, lover for life
Capture, there's no getaway
You're my lover, my lover for life

I'm your prisoner
Take me
I'm your prisoner
And sentence me to be
Your lover for life
Wanna be
Take me baby
Your lover, your baby

I believe in roses
But only from the heart
And if it's not sincere baby then
I don't want no part

I believe in one love baby,
True monogamy
What I don't know can't hurt me
That's not the way I see

If you believed in me
You won't mess around
It's not like I don't know
You've been with every girl in town

You got a lot of nerve to think
I just close my eyes
While you walk aorund so full of it
I give you my surprise

Chorus: (repeat twice)
I don't need your kinda love
I don't need your kinda trust
I don't want you, anymore
I don't need your kinda kisses
I don't want to be your Mrs.
I don't want to anymore

I believe that angels
Watch everything we do
And all the wrong you're doing
Just might come back on you

I believe in phone calls
When you're not by my side
Especially when it's lonely
In the middle of the night

If you believe that true love
Is only made in bed
Lord have mercy on you
Chivalry is dead

You got a lot of nerve to think,
To think that I'm still down
While you've taken me for granted
Boy I'm through, I'm outta town

Chorus: (repeat twice)
I don't need your kinda love
I don't need your kinda trust
I don't want you, anymore
I don't need your kinda kisses
I don't want to be your Mrs.
I don't want to anymore

So baby (so baby)
You can kiss this girl goodbye
I'm through with ya
Movin on with my life
No more pain, no more fears
I'm movin on, I'm keepin on
I'm through with all the tears

Your kinda love
Your kinda trust
I don't want you, don't need you
Can't have you
Your kinda kisses (yeah)
To be your Mrs.
I don't want you (sing it for us)

Chorus: (repeat twice)
I don't need your kinda love
I don't need your kinda trust
I don't want you, anymore
I don't need your kinda kisses
I don't want to be your Mrs.
I don't want to anymore

Don't need, don't want you
Don't need, don't want
Don't need that kind of love
Don't want your kind of love
Don't need it
Don't want it

How could I throw away a miracle
How could I face another day
It's all of my doing
I made a choice
And today I pay
My heart is full of pain
How could understand
the way I feel
How could you relate to
so much pain
Seems as though nothing
can comfort me
So today I pray
That someone should listen
for nothing should matter
Not when love grows inside you
The choice is yours
There's a miracle in store
Nothing should matter
Not when love grows inside you
A voice of love is crying out
Don't throw love away
There's a miracle in store
How could I let go of a miracle
Nothing could ever
take its place
Thought I was looking
out for myself
Now it seems the pain
Is all that I have gained
I woder if I could
be your miracle
I wonder if I could
spare you pain
Seems as though nothing
will comfort me
oh Less today when I pray
That you should come listen
for nothing should matter
Not when love grows inside you
The choice is yours
There's a miracle in store
Nothing should matter
Not when love grows inside you
A voice of love is crying out
Don't throw love away
There's a miracle in store
Don't ever throw away your miracle
Don't let it slip away
Nothing should matter
for nothing should matter
Not when love grows inside you
The choice is yours
There's a miracle in store
Nothing should matter
Not when love grows inside you
A voice of love is crying out
Don't throw love away
There's a miracle in store

For you

In a world when dreams are few
You've got me baby, I've got you
You're the one that makes me feel brand new

Sometimes love can wear you out
Chill your soul baby, make you doubt
That you'll never find the one that's true

All of life I've longed for this
Someone who makes me happy
Let's seal this moment with a kiss I wanna know
And nothin's ganna stop me cuz'

* I've been to the bottom
But I'm back on top
And I'm feelin' the rhythm
As we start to rock
When you get down yo it
I belong to you

Though I'm not afraid to let it show
I'll tell the world
I want everyone to know
There's nobody does me like you do

** All of my love is yours tonight
I live to make you happy
Nothin' has ever felt so right
I want it call and nothin's gonna stop me cuz'

(Repeat *)

*** When you touch me tender
And you reach my soul
When I start to weaken
And I lose control
When you get down to it
I belong to you

(Repeat **,*,**)

Who do you love do you love love love
Who do you love do you love
I got a feeling you're the boy for me
I bet your love can set me free
I feel a love thing going
It started weak then got oh so strong

Strong enough to rock the world
Straight up I wanna be your girl
So I keep praying to the stars above
That it's me who you're gonna love

Am I the one (yeah)
Is she the one
Who do you love

Chorus:
(Who) Who do you love
I wanna know
Could it be me
Won't you tell me so
Who do you love
You've got to say
Don't wanna go
Why can't I stay

I keep pushing so you'll be mine
We'll be loving baby over time
My sensitivity gets so high
It keeps me dreaming that you're my guy

Then I have to stop and check myself
Could it be that you love someone else
I can't give in to jealousy
So touch me now if you love me Am I the one (come on now)
Is she the one (make up your mind)
Who do you love
Am I the one (who do you love huh)
Is she the one
Who do you love
Am I the one (am I the one)
Is she the one (Is she the one)
Who do you love
Am I the one (I'm waiting)
Is she the one (I'm waiting...)
Who do you love

Chorus:
(Who) Who do you love
I wanna know
Could it be me
Won't you tell me so
Who do you love
You've got to say
Don't wanna go
Why can't I stay

We didn't know we didn't know
Since I don't know when
We've been only friends
No more but no less
Our friendship we had at best

A voice to console
An ear to confide
That someone you tell
Your deepest of feelings inside

Chorus:
But we didn't know
When we held each other
It would feel so right
We didn't know
On that night we'd be falling in love
I looked at you
You looked at me
In ways we never thought we would be
But like tomorrow's today's mystery
We didn't know

Be it big, be it small
On you I could call
Nothing but to ask
You'd be right there in a flash

A hand I could hold
That friend I could trust
But the love that we shared
Was just platonic between us

Repeat Chorus

That's what happens
When innocent friends
Turn serious lovers
And we're so happy that
We've fallen in love
And still can be best of friends

When they'd break your heart
And when they'd make you cry
We both would confer
You should give love one more try

We've searched everywhere
For true love to find
Yet who'd think it was us
That we were longing for all the time

Cause we didn't know
When we held each other
It would feel so right
We didn't know
On that night we'd be falling in love
I looked at you
And you looked at me
In ways we never thought
We would be
But just like the future
No one can see
We didn't know

Repeat Chorus

* I've been waiting such a long time
For a love that's real to come my way
Gonna take some getting used to
Now that love is here to stay

** After we make love
It's so good to be lost in the afterglow
All I'm dreaming of
I just can't let the feeling go
After we make love
I feel I've been touched by
All that heaven and earth will allow
All that matters is right here and now

Now the world is full of wonder
You've turned my life aound in just one day
I lvoe the spell you've put me under
Just one kiss can take my breath away

(Repeat **)

All the lonely days and nights
Were well worth going through
I'm so glad I didn't give my heart away
So I could give it all to you

(Repeat *, **)
All that matters is right here and now

Who's to say it's easy
Sometimes life's not fair
I've heard some say
Just knock the door will open
And when it does
You'll find love standing there

Chorus:
And if it's true I'm knockin'
Come open up the door
My heart's been right here waiting
For someone to adore
Well if it's true, I'm knockin'
Come open up the door
My heart's been right here waiting
For someone to adore
Say if it's true

In sight we have two choices
And it's told me to do or die
And every word he speaks makes me certain
Beyond the door's life's reason why

Chorus:
And if it's true I'm knockin'
Come open up the door
My heart's been right here waiting
For someone to adore
Well if it's true, I'm knockin'
Come open up the door
My heart's been right here waiting
For someone to adore
Say if it's true

Knock and the door will open
The door will open
Look and you will find it
Look and you will find it
For certain it's true
For me and for you
When love comes and knocks
Here's the right thing to do

Chorus:
And if it's true I'm knockin'
Come open up the door
My heart's been right here waiting
For someone to adore
Well if it's true, I'm knockin'
Come open up the door
My heart's been right here waiting
For someone to adore
Say if it's true

Cmon, knock on the door
It will open, I'm knockin'
Please open up the door yeah
My heart's been right here waiting
Someone to adore
Ask me what I want
Peace of mind
Ask me what I don't
Waste of (my) time
Tell me that it's true
And you will find me knockin'

Clock stricke upon the hour
And the sun begins to fade
There's still enough time
to figure out
How to chase my blues away
I've done alright
up till now
It's the light of day
that shows me how
And when the night falls
Loneliness calls
Oh I wanna dance
with somebody
I wanna feel the heat
with somebody
Yeah I wanna dance
with somebody
With somebody who loves me
Oh I wanna dance
with somebody
I wanna feel the heat
with somebody
Yeah I wanna dance
with somebody
With somebody who loves me
I've been in love
and lost my senses
Spinning through the town
Sooner or later
the fever ends
And I wind up feeling down
I need a man who'll
take a chance
On a love that burns
hot enough to last
So when the night falls
My lonely heart calls
Oh I wanna dance
with somebody
I wanna feel the heat
with somebody
Yeah I wanna dance
with somebody
With somebody who loves me
Oh I wanna dance
with somebody
I wanna feel the heat
Yeah I wanna dance
with somebody
With somebody who loves me
Somebody who loves me
To hold me in his arms
I need a man who'll
take a chance
On a love tha bruns
hot Enough to last
So when the night falls
My lonely heart calls
Oh I wanna dance
with somebody
I wanna feel the heat
with somebody
Yeah I wanna dance
with somebody
With somebody who loves me
Oh I wanna dance
with somebody
I wanna feel the heat
with somebody
Yeah I wanna dance
with somebody
With somebody who loves me

Don't you wanna dance
with me baby

With somebody who loves me
Don't you wanna dance
Say you wanna dance
Don't you wanna dance
Don't you wanna dance
Say you wanna dance
Don't you wanna dance
Don't you wanna dance
Say you wanna dance
With somebody who loves me

It's the second time around
For you and I boy
And believe me it's confusing me
I'm afraid to say "let's make up" and "All's forgiven"
But somethin' tells me it's heading for heartbreak...
So darling please I'm praying that
This time yeah this time will be different
That you and I can share this dream that I visualize...
Tell me are you really ready for love boy
Or is it just the lonely talking again
Are you really ready for love boy
Or is it the lonely talking again
Now the time before
When we got together
You promised you'd be forever true to me
But all I got from you
Was lots and lots of talking
Lonely nights filled with misery
So baby please please tell me now
That when I fulfill your needs
You won't up and leave me
Even though you know
I'll let you come back
Tell me are you really ready for love boy
Or is it just the lonely talking again
Are you really ready for love boy
Or is it the lonely talking again

we naver when we
held on in the rain
The night we almost lost it
Once again
we can take the night
into tomorrow
Living on feelings
Touching you
I feel it all again
Didn't we almost have it all
When love was all
we had worth giving
The ride with you
was worth the fall my friend
Loving you makes
life worth living
Didn't we almost have it all
The night we held on
till the morning
You know you'll naver
love that way again
Didn't we almost have it all
The way you used
to touch me felt so fine
We kept our hearts together
down the line
A moment in the soul
can last forever
Comfort and keep us
Help me bring
the feeling back again
Didn't we almost have it all
When love was all
we had worth giving
The ride with you
was worth the fall my friend
Loving you makes
life worth living
Didn't we almost have it all
The night we held on
till the morning
You know you'll naver
love that way again
Didn't we almost have it all
Didn't we have
the best of times
when love was young and new
couldn't we reach
inside and find
the love of me and you
we'll never lose it again
Cause once you know what love is
You never let it end
Didn't we almost have it all
The nights we held on
When love was all
we had worth giving
The ride with you
was worth the fall my friend
Loving you makes
life worth living
Didn't we almost have it all
The nights we held on
till the morning
You know you'll naver
love that way again
Didn't we almost have it all

Didn't we almost have it all

I've been hearing your heartbeat
inside of me I keep your
photograph beside my bed
Livin' in a world of fantasies
I can't get you out of my head
I've been waiting for the
phone to ring all night
Why you wanna make me feel so good
I got a love of my own babe
I shouldn't get so hung up on you
I remember the way that we touch
I wish I didn't like it so much
I get so emotional baby
Everytime I think of you
I get so emotional baby
Ain't it shocking what love can do
Ain't it shocking what love can do
Ain't it shocking what love can do
I gotta watch you
walk in the room baby
I gotta watch you walk out
I like the animal way you move
And when you talk
I just watch your mouth
I remember the way that we touch
I wish I didn't like it so much no
I get so emotional baby
Everytime I think of you
I get so emotional baby
Ain't it shocking what love can do
I get so emotional baby
Everytime I think of you
I get so emotional baby
Ain't it shocking what love can do
Ain't it shocking what love can do
Ain't it shocking what love can do

See I remember the way that we touch
I wish I didn't like it so much
I get so emotional baby
Everytime I think of you
I get so emotional baby
Ain't it shocking what love can do
I get so emotional baby
Everytime I think of you
I get so emotional baby
Ain't it shocking what love can do
I get so emotional
I get so emotional baby
shocking what love can do
I get so emotional baby
Everytime I think of you
I get so emotional baby
Ain't it shocking what love can do
I get so emotional baby
Everytime I think of you
I get so emotional baby

I saw the news this morning
And saw your face accross
the screen
And as I poured my coffee
I picked up a magazine
But as I turned the page
and looked inside
There you were again
Oh these lonely times
They never seem to end
You're too far
I know I should
be there where you are

Today I did some shopping
Just had to
clear my mind again
I can't stop
thinkin' 'bout you
Hopped into a taxi
In a moment I was home
Home again
But as I turned the key
And slept inside
My heart could not pretend
Oh doese feelings
Not dose felling
not again
Can too far
I know I should
be there where you are

Tossing and turning
in my sleep
I take in be without you
I'm gonna catch the next
plane out
I got to get to
where you are
No matter how near or far
I got to get to
where you are
I knew

But as I turned the key
And slept inside
My heart could not pretend
Oh these lonely times
They never seem to end
You're too far
'Cause I know I should
be there where you are
I wanna be where you are
I wanna be where you are
I wanna be where you are
I wanna be where you are
I wanna be where you are
I wanna be where you are
I know I should
be there where you are

Contact Contact
Huh huh huh huh hoo huh yeah
You've been avoiding me
Like a cat trying to dodge a dog
I never see ya shine
You're as cold as the London fog
You claim you want my love
Well I wouldn't know
by the way you behave
If you want to feel the thrill of my touch
You better come out of your cave
It's so perplexing
Why you fight it won't you try it
Love's electric
Turn me on and see

Love is a contact sport
You gotta move in time
If you wanna do it right
Here I am
Love is a contact sport
You gotta act untamed
If you wanna play the game
So grab my hand, SLAM!

I hate to sound agressive
But I'm tired of waiting for your move
Cut the formalities
Cuz you've got a few things to prove
If you really want my love
I need to feel it down deep from within
Don't make me wait too long
I'm ready now come and stroke my skin
Well all this talking
Worthless chatter just don't matter
Time for stalkin'
Come get next to me
Love is a contact sport
You gotta move in time
If you wanna do it right
Here I am
Love is a contact sport
You gotta act untamed
If you wanna play the game
So grab my hand, SLAM!

Hey boy,

If you wanna do it right
Here I am
Love is a contact sport
You gotta act untamed
If you wanna play the game
Love is a contact sport
You gotta move in time
If you wanna do it right

On the day that you left me
You said you had no regrets
There's a bond between us
That hasn't been broken yet
And the feelings between us
Will never disappear
How can you be far away
When your spirit's here
You're still my man
Nothing can change it
We still belong together
You're still my man
Nothing can change it
Our love will last forever
And the seasons of our love
Will always change I know
Maybe that's the reason
You felt we had to go
But soon you'll be missing me
Darling I know you well
There's a magic we share together
And no one can break that spell
You're still my man
Nothing can change it
We still belong together
You're still my man
Nothing can change it
Our love will last forever
I'll wait for you
The thought that keeps me going each day
Is I believe you still love me
I love you more than words can say
You're still my man
Nothing's gonna change it
Don't you know, you oughta know we belong together
You're still my man
And nothing can change it
Oh baby oh darling you're in my heart forever
Cuz you're my man
Without you
Darling, our love at all
You're still my man
Nothing can change it
Don't you know you oughta know we belong together
Oh You're still my man
Nothing can change it
Oh baby oh darling you're in my heart forever
You're still my man
Nothing can change it
I'm yours, you know you're mine
You're in my heart forever
You're still my man
Nothing can change it
Don't you know you oughta know we belong together
You're still my man...

Drifting on a memory
Ain't no place I'd rather be
than with you
Loving you

Day will make the way for night
All we need is candlelight
And a song soft and long
Well you'd like to think
We're alone
with a love unlike no other
Sad to see a new horizon
slowly coming into view
I want to be living
for the love of you
All that I'm giving
is for the love of you

Lovely as a ray of sun
That touches me
when the morning comes
Feels good to me
My loving me yeah
Smoother then a gentle breeze
Flowing from my mind with ease
Soft as can be
Well when you're loving me ooh baby
Love to be
Riding the waves of love
enchanted with your touch
It seems to me
We can sail together
in and out of mystery
I want to be living
for the love of you
All that I'm giving
is for the love of you
Paradise I hafta think
can't feel as secure again
You're the key
And this I see
Now and then I lose my way
Confusing words to try and say
what I feel
Yeah your love is real
I might as well
sign my name on a card
that's been saying better
See time will tell
Cause it seems that I've done
just about all that I can do
I want to be living
for the love of you
All that I'm giving
is for the love of you
I want to be living
for the love of you
All that I'm giving
is for the love of you
I want to be living
for the love of you
All that I'm giving
is for the love of you

I know it's been some time
But there's something on my mind
You see I haven't been the same
Since that cold November day
We said we needed space
But all we found
was an empty place
And the only things I learned
Is that I need you desperately
So here I am
And can you please tell me oh
Where do broken hearts go
Can they find their way home
Back to the open arms
Of a love that's waiting there
And if somebody loves you
Won't they always love you
I look in your eyes
And I know that you still
care for me
Whoo
I've been around enough to know
That dreams don't turn to gold
And that there is no easy way
No you just can't run away
And what we had was so much more
Than we ever had before
And no matter how I try
You're always on my mind
So here I am
And can you please tell me oh
Where do broken hearts go
Can they find their way home
Back to the open arms
Of a love that's waiting there
And if somebody loves you
Won't they always love you
I look in your eyes
And I know that
you still care for me
And now that I am here with you
I'll never let you go
I look into your eyes
And now I know now I know
Where do broken hearts go
Can they find their way home
Back to the open arms
Of a love that's waiting there
And if somebody loves you
Won't they always love you
I look in your eyes
And I know that you still care
Where do broken hearts go
Can they find their way home
Back to the open arms
Of a love that's waiting there
And if somebody loves you
Won't they always love you
I look in your eyes
And I know that
you still care for me
For me
You still care for me

Nothing is so good it
lasts eternally
Perfect situations must go wrong
But this has never yet
prevented me
From wanting far too much
for far too long
Looking back
I could have done it differently
Won a few more moments
who can tell
But it took time to
understand the man
Now at least
I know I know him well
Wasn't it good
Wasn't it good
Wasn't it fine
Wasn't it fine
Isn't it madness
he can't be mine
But in the end he needs a
little it more than before
Security
he needs his fantasy and freedom
I know him so well

No one in your life
is with you constantly
No one is completely on your side
And though I move my world
to be with him
Still the gap between us
is too wide
Looking back I could have played
it differently
Learned about the man
before I fell
But I was ever so
much younger then
Now at least I know
I know him well
Wasn't it good
oh so good
Wasn't it fine
so fine
Isn't it madness
he can't be mine
Didn't I know
how it would go
If I knew from the start
Why am I falling apart
Wasn't it fine
Wasn't it fine
Isn't it madness
he can't be mine
But in the end
he needs a little it
more than before
Security
he needs his fantasy and freedom
I know him so well
It took some to to understand him
I know him so well

I found out what I've been missing
Always on the run
I've been looking for someone
Now you're here like you've been before
And you know just what I need
It took some time for me to see

*That you give good love to me baby
So good, take this heart mine into your hands
You give good love to me
Never too much
Baby you give good love

Never stopping, I was always searching
For that perfect love
The kind that girls like me dream of

Now you're here like you've been before
And you know just what I need
It took some time for me to see

*Repeat

Now I, I can't stop looking around
It's not, what this loves all about
Our love is here to stay, stay

*Repeat

I can't get you off my mind No matter what I
do I'm wishing you were here, with me It
makes no difference I only think of you And I
living out my fantasy Chorus: Late at night, a
rendezvous Being such a love sick fool It
might be pouring rain But still the same,
nothings changed All and all I feel no shame
I'm just your fool the same (I'm just your
fool) (I keep thinking about you baby) So tell
me what you're gonna do (I keep thinking
about you) All I wanna do is (Like a river of
wine, intoxicate my mind I'm thinking about
you) That's what I wanna do (Pick me up,
let's go down I'm thinking about it too) (I'm
thinking about you) Ya got me thinking about
you (I'm thinking about it too) Maybe
weeping is a game That's hard for me to face
(But you need me) Just like I need you
There's no reason Just my heart that makes
me feel this way And I hope you feel the
same way too Chorus (Spoken) It might be
pouring rain But like a fool, insane I run to
you I'm just a love sick fool I've got this thing
for you (I'm just a love-sick fool) Chorus

I'm here alone on a Friday night
Waiting here beside the phone
The TV, radio and me
Really ain't been getting along
I wish that I could fly away
And party till the break of day
And there I'd be sure to meet
The guy that would be special to me

Then mama comes and asks me
Why am I dreaming sitting alone?
Why not go out and have some fun
It's the only way I'll ever find
Someone for me
While I am young and seventeen

*Someone for me
Someone for me
I've got to go find someone, someone
Someone for me
I've got to find someone, Yeah!

Now here's a party down at Angie's house
With people packed against the wall
I'm sitting in the corner here
Trying to make some sense of it all

And when I least expect it
Meeting the guy I see in my dreams
Here he is walking up to me and asking
If I'd like to come and dance with him
I think I've found someone for me

*Repeat

And so I'm finding out that dreams you believe in
Can come to be
And now I'm looking up to find the joy and happiness
Can come to you and me
At last I've found someone for me

*Repeat

A few stolen moments is all that we shared
you've got your family and they need you there
though I tried to resist being last on your list
but no other man gonna do
so I'm saving all my love for you

It's not very easy living all alone,
my friends try and tell me find a man of my own
but each time I try, I just break down and cry
cause I'd rather be home feeling blue.
so I'm saving all my love for you

You used to tell me we'd run away together
love gives you the right to be free
you said be patient just wait little longer
but that just an old fantasy

I've got to get ready just a few minutes more
gonna get that old feeling when you walk through door

*Cause tonight is the night for a feeling alright
we'll be making love the whole night through
so I'm saving all my love,yes,i'm saving all my love
yes,I'm saving all love for you

No other woman is going to love you more

* Repeat

Like a candle
Burning bright
Love is glowing in your eyes
A flame to light our way
That burns brighter everyday
But now I have you
Nobody loves me like you do
Like a leaf
Upon the wind
I could find a place to land
I dream the hours away
And wonder everyday
Do dreams come true
Nobody loves me like you do

What if I never met you
Where would I be right now
Funny how life just falls in place somehow
Ooh you touched my heart in places
That I never even knew
Cuz nobody loves me like you do

Mm I was words without a tune
I was a song still unsung
Poem with no rhyme
A dancer out of time
But now there's you
Nobody loves me like you do

What if I never met you
Where would I be right now
Funny how life just falls in place somehow
Ooh you touched my heart in places
That I never even knew
Nobody loves me like you do
Nobody loves me
Nobody loves me like you do
Nobody loves me like you do

There's a boy I know
He's the one I dream of
Looks into my eyes
Takes me to the clouds above (mm hm)
Oo I lose control
Can't seem to get enough (uh-huh)
When I wake from dreaming
Tell me if it's really love
(hoo) How Will I Know
Don't trust the feeling
How Will I Know
How Will I know
How Will I know

*How will I know if he really loves me
I say a prayer with every heartbeat
I fall in love whenever we meet
I'm asking you cuz you know about these things
How Will i know if he's thinking of me
I try to phone but I'm too shy (can't speak)
Falling in love is so bittersweet
This love is strong, why do I feel weak?

Oh wake me unshaken, wish I had you near me now (uh-huh)
Said that no mistaking, what I feel is really love

(Oh tell me) How Will I Know
Don't trust the feeling
How Will I Know
How Will I know
How Will I know

*Repeat

If he loves me
If he loves me not
(mm) If he loves me
(oo) If he loves me not
(he-ey) If he loves me
If he loves me not
Oh, how will I know
OO how will I know
How Will i know
Hey, how will I know (Hoo)

*Repeat

How Will I know
How Will I Know
How Will I Know
How Will I Know
Hoo How Will I know
How Will I Know
Hey How will I Know

All at once,
I finally took a moment and I'm realizing that
Your not coming back
And it finally hit me all at once
All at once,
I started counting teardrops and at least a million fell
My eyes began to swell,
And all My dreams were shattered all at once
Ever since I met you
You're the only love I've known
And I can't forget you
Though I must face it all alone

＊All at once,
I'm driffing on a lonely sea
wishing you'd come back to me
And that's all that matters now
All at once,I'm driffing on a lonely sea
Holding on to memories
And it hurts me more than you know
so much moer than it shows
All at once

All at once,
I looked around and found that you were with another love
In someone else's arms

All at once
the smile that used to greet me brightened
someone else's day
she took your smile away
And left me with just memories, all at once

Ever since I met you
You're the only love I've known
And I can't forget you
Though I must face it all alone

*Repeat

Time can pass so slowly
When you feel so all alone
Love can strikeour h like lightning
When you find yeart a home
I've seen it in the movies
Read about it in a book
I never thought I'd feel it
But your touch was all it took

*Take good care of my heart
Take good care of my heart
Baby you're the first to take it
You're the only one who can break it
I love you more than I should
But it keeps me feeling so good
I've waited for your love forever
You're the one to take good care of my heart

Come and make your magic
Till you have me hypnotized
If we get any closer
I'll be drowning in your eyes
You're the one I needed most
When my love was on that line
Oh I'm so glad you gave me yours
When I gave you mine

*Repeat

I believe the children are our are future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be
Everybody searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone who fulfill my needs
A lonely place to be
and So I learned to depend on me

Chorus:
I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I'll live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all
Inside of me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all

I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be

Chorus

And if by chance, that special place
That you've been dreaming of
Leads you to a lonely place
Find your strength in love

I hold you, I touch you
Make you my woman
I'll give you my love
With sweet surrender
Tonight our hearts will beat as one
And I'll hold you, I'll touch you
Make you my woman tonight
There's something in your eyes I see
A pure and simple honesty

*Hold me in your arms tonight
Fill my life with pleasure
Let's not waste this precious time
This moment's ours to treasure
Hold me in your arms tonight
We'll make it last forever
When the morning sun appears
We'll find our way together

I believe you
When you say that you love me
Know that I won't take you for granted
Tonight the magic has begun
So won't you hold me touch me
Make me a woman tonight

There's something in your eyes I see
I won't betray your trust in me

*Repeat

I'll hold you (hold)
And touch you (Touch me baby)
Make you my woman (Make me a woman)
Tonight

*Repeat(x2)

* Why you lookin' at me
Don't get mad at me
'Cause I'm still gonna be
(Tell me, Tell me, Tell me)
Whatcha lookin' at
(Tell me, Tell me, Tell me)
Whatcha lookin' at
I feel your eyes on me
You been telling lies on me
(Tell me, Tell me, Tell me)
Whatcha lookin' at
(Tell me, Tell me, Tell me)

See I don't understand
Why you keep peepin' me
When you don't even like me
You're after me and my man
Don't think you're stressing me
'Cause your lies don't excite me, no no

(Never thought)
Never thought, Never thought
(Never knew)
Never knew that you would do this to me
Do this to me
(Try to ruin me) Ruin me
(Be my enemy) Be my enemy

Would act as if you're cool with me

(Tell me, Tell me, Tell me)
Whatcha lookin' at

Oh you know you're wrong
Don't wanna respect my song
But it's okay 'cause either way
My following is real strong
You try so hard to show the whole world what I do
Now I'm turning the cameras back on you
Same spotlight that once gave me fame
Trying to dirty up Whitney's name

(Never thought)
Never thought, Never thought, Never thought
(Never knew)
Never knew that you would do this to me
Do this to me
(Try to ruin me) Try to ruin me
(Be my enemy) Be my enemy
(Never thought)
Never thought, Never thought, Never thought
(That you) That you
Would act as if you're cool with me
Why you lookin' at me

* repeatX2

Messing with my reputation
Ain't even got no education
Trying to mess with my concentration
Don't even have a clue of what I'm facing
All you know you need to stop it
Defaming my name for a profit
God is the reason my soul is free
And I don't need you looking at me

* repeatX2

I'm reaching for my dreams
And you're so quick to say what I can do
You criticise my action
But I don't see it standing in my shoes
I've gone the wrong way
And I do the wrong things
Every word just gives me few
So come on come on come on
come on come on come on

*And tell me no
I'll show you I can
And tell me no
I sink my feet right in
Tell me no
Just tell me that I can win
Come on
I'm sure I'll prove you wrong
Go on and go
Tell me no

Every step I take you're right there trying
to block my next move
If you're making me feel bad, then tell me
then do you feel good
I'm just human I know what I'm doing
That's what my heart tells me I should
So come on come on come on come on
come on come on

*Repeat

No no no no no no no
You motivates me more and more
And I think it's time that you know
Giving me something to afford
And I can't wait for the day
I can rock things in your place
I ain't gonna stop til I'm done
I reach the top I'm the No.1
For everytime you try and tell me no
keep on keep it all

*Repeat (x2)

Ohh. This is just for me.
Kick off my shoes and relax my feet
Hit the kitchen grab a bite to eat
It's been one of those crazy weeks
And I gotta do something special for me

See, hit the salon get a mani and a pedi
Have a massage, get a sip and then I'm ready
Gotta take time out
And my real ladies know what I'm talking about

*Sing. Oooooooh, baby baby
You don't know what I've been going through
Sing it again now. Oooooooh, baby baby
It's obvious to see exactly what I need
One of those days
When the sun is shining bright
And my life is going right
And the simple things are not wasted
One of those days
When you're cruising in your car
And you're out to see the stars
And it's warm outside and beautiful

Tonight, it's all about me
Just wanna set my body free
Never mind the TV
Tonight I'll just let a little TV watch me
Light the candles, aroma therapy
Hot tub bubbles surrounding me
Mr. Big is in the background
The Isley Brothers gonna hold it down... sing

*Repeat (x2)

(Oh Baby yeah yeah)
Such a pleasure loving you,
It's all mine
I smile each day away
I feel better knowing you
Ooh you've got me thinking
it's better to give than take
I don't have to beg you to
You're so good to me
Carries me from day to day

I appreciate the things you do
ooh but there's one thing
I have to tell you boy
I take your actions
but I love the things you say

*I listen to the things you say
ooh you're calling me oh wow
I listen to the things you say to me baby
In a poem or a card
Serenade my heart
I listen to the things you say
ooh you're calling me oh wow
I listen to the things you say to me baby
In a poem or a song
Serenade me
Lovely letters come from you
at times, I know I don't deserve you
Any weather, you'll come through
You've got me gleaming
I feel more than I'm not worth it
You're my treasure,
I'll take you over anything
as pleasing on this earth

I appreciate the things you do
but there's one thing
I have to tell you
I take your actions
but I love your words

*Repeat

Every word that you say
makes the day much brighter
(sweet to my heart)
Melody that you play
I hear right away
and my heart is lighter
(sweet to my heart)

My love
Some girl just wanna spend guys money
Live their lives chasing the milk or honey
Silver lives are their fantasy
But you're lucky cause that ain't me

Most girls think guys are all the same
Not you so I can take the blame
I love you through the joy and pain
Even the coldest Georgia rain

*See my love is like a open sky
See my heart is like the river wide
No my world would never ever run dry
It runs over for you and I
See my love is deeper than the sea
And sweeter than a pretty melody
So tell everybody that you're glad you got me
You can trust in my love
My L-O-V-E
(My love, My love, My)

Some think that love is just a word
Because of all the things they've heard
They think they're gotta close their hearts
Can't see the light, the soul in the dark
But I know I got a real good man
Who loves me the best as he can
That's why I'm here faithfully
Cause you'll do the same for me

*Repeat

You gotta go through
The fire (the pain)
The rain (the joy)
Take the joy and do it in pain
(Never give in)
Give in
Don't give up
(Don't give up)
We can try but it will never never break my love

Sweet, sweet love
Sweet, sweet love
See my love

*Repeat

Ah, ah, ah
Things just go the way that they used to be
Back in the day when a man meant security
He'd be working hard all week
If you keep back and throw up your
feet in a fictional shield
So ain't my beloved sweet yeah

But he's worth it
He deserves it
Be not perfect
He's all the man I need
He's ready and willing
Gives me the feeling, ah
And whenever we're together
I know where will I belong

*It's just the way you listen to your eyes
It's the love that gives the man you fantasize
It's the time that takes to show you that he cares
And he's always there (He's always always there)
Don't you love that man (I know)

Things they go the way they used to be
When a woman and a man work hard to be
Happy in love and stand together ooh
(Let's stay that way forever)

Never give in to a fight
Just trying work it out
Never give up on him
That's not what love's about
Stay true to your feelings
And remember
All the things he's done for you

*Repeat

You'd better know I'm talking
about that old-school love
That everlasting feeling
can't never be too much
Somebody loves you heart and soul
Hold on, don't stop
And never let it go

*Repeat

I'm wiser now
I'm not the foolish girl you used to know
So long ago
I'm stronger now
I've learned from my mistakes which way to go
And I should know
I put myself aside to do it your way
But now I need to do it all alone

And I am not afraid to try it on my own
I don't care if I'm right or wrong
I'll live my life the way I feel
No matter what I'll keep it real you know
Time for me to do it on my own
Yeah yeah, mmm, yeah yeah

It's over now
I can't go back to living through your eyes
Too many lines
And if you don't know by now
I can't go back to being someone else
Not anymore
I never had a chance to do things my way
So now it's time for me to take control

And I am not afraid to try it on my own
I don't care if I'm right or wrong
I'll live my life the way I feel
No matter what I'm gonna keep it real you know
Time for me to do it

Oh I start again go back to one
I'm running things my way
Can't stop me now, I've just begun
Don't even think about it
There ain't no way about it
I'm taking names, the ones of mine
Yes I'm gonna take my turn
It's time for me to finally stand alone,
stand alone

I am not afraid to try it on my own
And I don't care if I'm right or wrong
I'll live my life the way I feel
No matter what I'm gonna keep it real you know
It's time for me to do it
See I'm not afraid

I'm sitting here in my own head thinking how

cause you know I really don't like to fuss
so I'm gonna hold it in

sometimes I want to hit the door
I'm writing you dear John

If I changed my mind,
if I changed my faith,
every time a stop light signaled
each time I made mistakes
I don't think that I
would be where I am today
I live my life without regrets
what you see is
what you see is
what you see is what you get
And I'm

*Unashamed of the life I lead
unashamed of the strength on my knees
of choices is made,
of the love that i've saved
of the things I've done,
my belief in the One
Unashamed of the words of my friends,
i know who they are
make mistakes, make amends
follow my instincts, my star
on my sleeve i wear my heart unashamed

Adding up my life, it totals all my dreams
I'm counting all my blessings
and the gifts I have received
Still there's always someone
something to overcome
Took all my life to understand
that I am what I am, who I am unashamed

*Repeat

(Do you)
do you wanna know how it goes?
Do you wanna control how I feel?
Do you wanna stay in my life?
Then listen here, and listen good,
you got to get it, got to get it,
got to get it right!
Unashamed

*Repeat

So many nights I sit by my window
Waiting for someone to sing me his song
So many dreams I kept deep inside me
Alone in the dark but now
You've come along

And you light up my life
You give me hope
To carry on
You light up my days
and fill my nights with song

Rollin' at sea, adrift on the water
Could it be finally I'm turning for home?
Finally, a chance to say hey,
I love you
Never again to be all alone

Cause you
You light up my life
You give me hope
To carry on
You light up my days
And fill my nights with song

And you
You light up my life
You give me hope
To carry on
You light up my days
And fill my nights with song
With song
You give me hope
To carry on
You light up my days
And fill my nights with song

It can't be wrong
When it feels so right
'Cause you
You light up my life, my life, my life, my life oooh

Why you lookin' at me
Don't get mad at me

Friday night you and your boys went out to eat
Then they hung out, but you came home around
three, yes, you did If six of y'all went out, ah
Then four of you were really cheap, yeah
Cause only two of you had dinner, I found your
credit card receipt

1-It's not right, but it's ok
I'm gonna make it anyway
Pack your bags, up and leave
Don't you dare come running back to me
It's not right, but it's ok I'm gonna make it anyway
Close the door behind you, leave your key
I'd rather be alone than unhappy

I'm packin' bags so you can leave town for a week,
yes I am
The phone rings and then you look at me
(Why'd you turn and looked at me?)
You said it was one of your friends down on
54th street, boy
So why did 213 show up on your caller ID

(I've been through all of this before)
I've been through all of this before
(So how could you think)
Don't think about it, don't think about it
(That I would stand around and take some more)
Ain't gon' get yours (Things are gonna change)
Things are gonna change, baby
(Cuz I won't be your fool anymore)
You don't stand a chance, boy
(That's why you'll have to leave)
Say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(So don't turn around to see my face)
Don't you turn around
There's no more tears left here for you to see

Was it really worth you going out like that
Tell me boy, see I'm moving on, and
I refuse to turn back, yeah
See all of this time I thought I had somebody
down for me
It turns out you were making a fool of me, yeah

This is the heartbreak hotel
This is the heartbreak hotel
This is the heartbreak hotel
This is the heartbreak hotel

You said you'd be here by 9
Instead you took your time
You didn't think to call me, boy
Here I sit, tryin' not to cry
Askin' myself why
You'd do this to me

Since you're not around for me to tell you baby face to face
I'm writin' you this letter, and this is what I have to say

All I really wanted was some of your time
Instead you told me lies when someone else was on your mind
What you do to me, look what you did to me
I thought that you were someone who would do me right
Until you played with my emotions and you made me cry
What you do to me, can't take what you did to me

Now I see that you've been doin' wrong
You played me all along
And made a fool of me, baby
You got it all wrong to think that I wouldn't find out
(Uh!)
That you were cheatin' on me baby
How could you do it to me

Since you're not around for me to tell you baby face to face
I'm writin' you this letter, and this is what I have to say

All I really wanted was some of your time
Instead you told me lies when someone else was on your mind (what you
did...)
What you do to me, look what you did to me
I thought that you were someone who would do me right
Until you played with my emotions and you made me cry
What you do to me (why you do it?), can't take what you did to me (you didn't
have to
do it to me, baby)

This is the heartbreak hotel
This is the heartbreak hotel
This is the heartbreak hotel
This is the heartbreak hotel

All I really wanted was some of your time
Instead you told me lies when someone else was on your mind
What you do to me, look what you did to me
I thought that you were someone who would do me right
Until you played with my emotions and you made me cry
What you do to me, can't take what you did to me

All I really wanted was some of your time
Instead you told me lies when someone else was on your mind
What you do to me, look what you did to me
I thought that you were someone who would do me right
Until you played with my emotions and you made me cry
What you do to me, can't take what you did to me
I ain't gon' take it..... I ain't gon' take it boy

If tomorrow is judgment day
and i`m standing on the front line
and the Lord asked me what
I did with my life
I would say i spent it with you
If i wake up in World War 3
I see destruction and poverty
and i feel like i want to go home
it`s ok if you`re coming with me

*cause your love is my love
and my love is your love
it would take an eternity to break us
and the chains of Amistad couldn`t hold us

* Repeat

if i lose my fame and fortune
and i`m homeless on the streets
and i`m sleeping in Grand Central Station
it`s ok if you`re sleeping with me
as the years they pass us by
we stay young through each other`s eyes
and no matter how old we get
it`s ok as long i got you
if i should die this very day
don`t cry, cause on earth we wasn`t meant to stay
and no matter what the people say
I`ll be waiting for you after judgment day

Many nights we pray
With no proof anyone could hear.
In our hearts a hopeful song
We barely understood
Now we are not afraid
Although we know there's much to fear
We were moving mountains
long before We knew we could

* There can be miracles
when you believe
Though hope is frail,
it's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles you can achieve
When you believe,
somehow you will
You will, when you believe

In this time of fear
We're oppressed so often,
bruised in vain
Hope seems like the summer birds
Too swiftly flown away
Yet now I'm standing here
My heart's so full I can't explain
Seeking faith as big, big words
I never thought I'd say

* Repeat

They don't always happen when you ask
And it's easy to give in to your fears
But when you're blind
If iron faith can see the way through the rain
Love can still fill your voice, says
"Hope is very near."

* Repeat

now tell me how you feel
if i told you that i have feelings for you
and would it be so wrong
to say what's on my mind i'm sorry i have to

we were friends but this time
what i feel inside for you has changed
but i'd give up on love
if i thought that it was untrue for you


*if i told you that i wanted to see you
and if i told you that i beg to please you
if i told you that i'll always keep you
what would you say if i told you that

i know that we're just friends
but what if i decide to bring something in
i hope it won't offend the trust we have
cause i don't want this to end

if you think that we'll lose what we have
then i'd just rather stay the same
cause i don't wanna choose
between two of the most precious things to me

and extend to each other romance
i hope it would be
the right thing for you and me

Did you think you could walk back in my life

so you found you missed the love you threw away
baby but you found it out too late

the waty that I cried
when you broke my world in two
Baby I learned the way to break a heart
I learned from the best I learned from you

I remember cold nights
tears I thought would never dry
how you shattered my world with your good-bye
would've sold my soul then
just to have you back again
now you are the last think on my mind

how you say you're sorry
and you've changed your ways
sorry but you changed your way too late

Remember when
It all began
We were all in love
Then came the friends
Telling you when your time for me
Was good enough
I constantly had to compete
With you crew and their schemes
Remembering
Back in the day I used to mean everything
If we could just get it back
(To the way it used to be)
My only wish would be that
(Nothing would change with you and me)
I remember how it was
(And I know that for a fact)
We were oh so deep in love
(If we could just get it back)
Now tell me why
All of them nights
You had so much to do
When you said bye
Sometimes I tried, I tried
To make you choose
Now tell me how you can allow
You boys to control the time
We shared it was unfair
But now it's time for you to know
(Now if I told you)
That I'm moving on
(Boy what would you do)
Things just ain't the same
(We were supposed to)
Conquer everything, yeah
(Boy let me tell you)
You're got to make a change
If we could just get it back
(To the way it used to be)
My only wish would be that
(Nothing would change with you and me)
I remember how it was
(And I know that for a fact)
We were oh so deep in love
(If we could just get it back)
If we could just get it back
(To the way it used to be)
My only wish would be that
(Nothing would change with you and me)
I remember how it was
(And I know that for a fact)
We were oh so deep in love
(If we could just get it back)
(Do you rememebr)
The way you used to love
You would kiss and hug me
(I rememebr)
U haven't lately
(Do you remember)
All the things you gave me
Everywhere you'd take me
(Can't you see that)
I really really need you back
If we could just get it back
(To the way it used to be)
My only wish would be that
(Nothing would change with you and me)
I remember how it was
(And I know that for a fact)
We were oh so deep in love
(If we could just get it back)

I lost my heart
A long time ago
You made me feel
Like no one had before
Boy, you made me love you
Then you walked out the door
See I will not rest until
You say I'm forever yours

*And boy I won't stop at nothing
I won't give you up
And you've gotta feel something I know
I will not love again
Until you come back
Come back to my arms
Til you come back to me baby
Until you come back
(To me)

I don't care how long
It's not important to me (no no no now)
Don't care how far
No, it's never too far for me (no it ain't)
I just might be crazy (yes sir)
When it comes to my heart
But I cannot rest until the day
When we're no longer apart

*Repeat

Nobody plays with my heart
You can't walk away from it all baby
You can run but your heart cannot hide
Cause it knows you belong in my love

Tired of playing this game
And I won't play it no more
And I won't take it no more
Through with being your fool
And I won't do it no more
And I won't, I won't keep up this act
Not for one minute
I'm gonna pull, I'm gonna pull this curtain down

(Chorus):
This time I won play this game
I made a vow to make a change
And I bow out
I won't be hanging around, baby
I decline to take the pain
And I resign the masquerade
And I bow out
I won't be staying around, baby
I bow out

Can't go on with the show
You're just a stage I went through
Now you're just fading from view, yeah baby
It's time for a change of scene
Guess I'll be taking my leave
I guess I won't, I won't stay in this play
Not for one minute
I'm gonna make, I'm gonna make my exit now
Oh baby

(Repeat Chorus)

When you're left standing on that stage all alone
Maybe you will realize
You should of learned to treat me right
And when this final act is finally through
Maybe youl wish you been
The kind of man you should have been
Now watch me say goodbye
And walk right out of your life
Oh baby, all right babe

(Repeat Chorus until fade)

If there's a time when the tears should fill your eyes,
And you can't see past the shadows,
To the sun on the other side,
Don't despair because there always will be someone there,
Don't lose faith, love won't let you lose your way.

Because you,
You'll never stand alone,
I'll be standing by,
I'll keep you from the cold,
I'll hold you when you cry,
I'll be there to be strong when you can't find the strength inside,
And you,
You'll always have a home in these arms of mine,
You'll never stand alone love is standing by,
Hhmmmm oh yes it is yes.

If there's a day when the rain should find your heart,
And you're cold inside and lonely ,
And this world has you in the dark,
Don't be scared you can just reach for me and I'll be there,
Don't lose hope, love will see you through you know,

Because you,
You'll never stand alone,
I'll be standing by,
I'll keep you from the cold,
I'll hold you when you cry,
I'll be there to be strong when you can't find the strength inside,
And you,
You'll always have a home in these arms of mine,
You'll never stand alone love is standing by,
Hhmmmm oh yes it is yes.

Standing by to lift you up from the hurt and pain,
Oh yeaa hmmm standing by to carry you through,
All the tears and rain reach for me,
(I'll be with you) Oh reach for me baaabbyyy,
(I'll see you through) See I'll be the one to hold you,
The one to show you that you,

Because you,
You'll never stand alone,
I'll be standing by,

And you,

You'll never stand alone love is standing by,

Hey, oh, hey hey hey
See I was born in Newark (sure was)
We were always hand in hand
He wore high top shoes and shirt tales
Nip wore her pigtails
I knew I loved him even then
You know some disapproved it
They even boo-hooed it
But I told them time and time and time again
You know I was made to love him
Build my world around him and
Hey, hey, hey
He's been my inspiration
Sho?nuff appeciation
For the love I gave him through the years
Like a sweet magnolia trea
My love blossomed tenderly
My love grew sweeter through the years
I know my baby loves me
My baby needs me
That's why we made it through the years
I was made to love him
Worship and adore him, yes say
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, oh Lord
All through thick and thin
Our love just won't end
But I love my baby, love my baby, oh
My baby loves me
My baby needs me
I know I ain't going nowhere

If all should tumble
And the whole world crumble
By his side I'll still be standing, yeah
Cuz I was made to love him
Made meant for him, say
Hey, hey, hey
I was made to love him
Build my world all around him say
Hey, hey, hey

The first Næel, the angel did say,
Was to certain poor shepherds
in fields as they lay;
In fields where they lay tending their sheep,
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.
Næel, Næel, Næel, Næel
Born is the King of Israel.

They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the East, beyond them far;
And to the earth it gave great light,
And so it continued both day and night.
Næel, Næel, Næel, Næel
Born is the King of Israel.

Jesus Christ is
Born is the King of Israel. [2x]

Næel, Næel, Næel
Born is the King of Israel.

Jesus
The first Næel
He is the Son yeah
Born is the King of
King of
Oh yeah yeah
Oh Christ is born
Ooh hallelujah hey
He is born
Oh Christ the King is born"

(Ooh well ooh Lord)
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire (well)
Jack Frost nipping on your nose (mmm)
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos

Everybody knows a turkey
and some mistletoe (well)
Help to make the season bright (mmm)
Tiny little tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight

(Scats)
You know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies
on his sleigh
Everybody's mother's child is going to spy
To see if reindeers really know how to fly

And so I'm offering this simple phrase
From kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times,
many ways
Merry Christmas (scats)
Happy Chanukah
Happy Kwanzaa
Merry Christmas to
To all of you
Merry Christmas to everyone"

If there were no presents
Waiting on Santa's sleigh
What would I wish for Christmas
And if Frosty the Snowman
Were melting away
I would pray for hope and unity
On Christmas day

If I had one wish for Christmas
There would be joy
And peace here on earth
If I had one wish for Christmas this year
We would all come together as one

If Rudolph and his reindeer
Ran into delays
I'd still hope for joy this season
And if somehow Santa got lost on his way
I would try to find a way to smile
Smile on Christmas day

[Chorus]

You know it ain't about
All those material things (no no)
What you've gotta think about
Is the love Christmas brings (yeah)

[Chorus 2x]"

O holy night.
The stars are brightly shining.
It is the night of our dear Savior's birth.
(Oh yes it is now.)
Long lay the world
In sin and error pining
'Til He appeared
And the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope
The weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks
A new and glorious morn.

Fall on your knees
O hear the angels' voices
O night divine
O o night when Christ was born
O night
O holy, holy night
O night divine

Fall on your knees
O hear the angels' voices
O night divine
O o night when Christ was born
O night
O night
O holy night
O night divine
Mmm"

I'm dreaming tonight
Of a place I love
Even more than I usually do.
And although I know
It's a long road back
I promise you

I'll be home for Christmas.
You can count on me.
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents under the tree.
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love-light gleams.
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams.

Oh oh ah I'll be home for Christmas.
You can count on me.
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents under the tree.
Oh Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love-light gleams.
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams.

If only yeah
Well now, if only, only, only, only
If only in my dreams.
If only
Well, well, well Lord
If only oh
If only in my dreams."

Mommies and daddies always believe
That their little angels are special indeed
And you could grow up to be anything
But who would imagine a king?
A shepherd or teacher is what you could be
Or maybe a fisherman out on the sea
Or maybe a carpenter building things
But who would imagine a king?
It was so clear when the wise men arrived
And the angels were singing your name
That the world would be different
'cause you were alive
That's what heaven stood still to proclaim
One day an angel said quietly
That soon he would bring
something special to me
And of all of the wonderful gifts he could bring
Who would imagine, who could imagine,
Who would imagine a king?"

Joy to the world the Lord is come
Let Earth receive her King
Let every heart prepare Him room
And heaven, let heaven, heaven and nature,
Heaven and nature sing

Chorus:
Everybody sing joy to the world
The Lord is come
(Let Earth receive her King)
Let every heart prepare Him room
Let heaven and nature sing
Let heaven and nature sing
Go tell of his glory
Go shout the new story
That the savior is born
Let Heaven, heaven,
heaven and nature sing

Let fields and flocks
Rocks hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat the sounding joy
Go tell of his glory
Go shout the new story
The savior is born
Let heaven, heaven, heaven,
heaven and nature sing
Sing Joy to the world
For the savior reigns
And makes his blessings flow

Joyful all ye nations rise
Join the triumph of the skies
With angelic hosts proclaim
Glory to the king
While the angels sing

Repeat Chorus:

Everybody sing joy
Sing joy to the world
All over the world
Sing joy, oh
Sing joy, everybody sing...
Joy to the world

Sing joy, joy joy, peace, love and joy
Joy joy joy sing joy to the world
Sing joy to the world
Everybody sing joy to the world
Everybody sing oh yeah
Sing joy to the world
Hey, sing joy
Sing joy, sing joy, sing joy
Joy to the world!"

Many nights we've prayed
With no proof anyone could hear
In our hearts a hopeful song
We barely understood
Now we are not afraid
Although we know
there's much to fear
We were moving mountains
Long before we knew we could

There can be miracles
When you believe
Though hope is frail
It's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve
When you believe
Somehow you will
You will when you believe
In this time of fear
When prayer so often
proves in vain
Hope seemed like the summer birds
Too swiftly flown away
Yet now I'm standing here
My heart's so full I can't explain
Seeking faith and speaking words
I never thought I'd say
There can be miracles
When you believe
Though hope is frail
It's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve
When you believe
Somehow you will
You will when you believe

They don't always happen
when you ask
And it's easy to give
in to your fear
But when you're blinded
by your pain
Can't see your way safe
through the rain
Thought of a still
resilient voice
Says love is very near
There can be miracles
When you believe
Though hope is frail
It's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve
When you believe
Somehow you will
Now you will
You will when you believe
You will when you believe
Just believe
Gotta believe
Just believe
You will when you believe

Uh...yeh...woo...hey yeh...huh...hoo yeh... uh huh... yeah...I want to dance...

Clocks strikes upon the hour,
And the sun begins to fade.
Still enough time to figure out,
How to chase my blues away.
I've done alright up 'til now,
It's the light of day that shows me how,
And when the night falls, loneliness calls.

(Chorus:)
Oh! I wanna dance with somebody.
I wanna feel the heat with somebody.
Yeah1 I wanna dance with somebody,
With somemebody who loves me.

(Chorus again)

I've been in love and lost my senses,
Spinning through the town.
Sooner or later the fever ends,
And I wind up feeling down.
I need a man who'll take a chance,
On a love that burns hot enough to last.
So when the night falls,
My lonely hearts calls.

(Chorus again)
(Chorus again)

Somebody who...Somebody who...
somebody who loves me...
Somebody who...Somebody who...
to hold me in his arms...

I need a man who'll take a chance,
On a love that burns hot enough to last.
So when the night falls,
My lonely heart calls.

(Chorus again)
(Chorus again)

Ooh ooh! (Dance!) Come on baby... (laughs)
(Dance) Wooo! Yeh! (Dance!)
You dance like this...(laughs)
Woah! (dance!)

Don't you wanna dance? (dance!) with me baby.
Don't you wanna dance? (dance!) with me baby.
Don't you wanna dance? (dance!) with me baby.
With somebody who loves me.

Don't you wanna dance?
Say you wanna dance.
Don't you wanna dance? (dance!)

Don't you wanna dance?
Say you wanna dance.
Don't you wanna dance? (dance!)

Don't you wanna dance?
Say you wanna dance. uh huh.. (dance!)
With somebody who loves me.

Ooh (dance!)
Ooh-oh (dance!)
Ooh (dance!)
...with me baby...

Mommies and daddies always believe
That their little angels are special indeed
And you could grow up to be anything
But who would imagine a king?
A shepherd or teacher is what you could be
Or maybe a fisherman out on the sea
Or maybe a carpenter building things
But who would imagine a king?
It was so clear when the wise men arrived
And the angels were singing your name
That the world would be different
'cause you were alive
That's what heaven stood still to proclaim
One day an angel said quietly
That soon he would bring
something special to me
And of all of the wonderful gifts he could bring
Who would imagine, who could imagine,
Who would imagine a king?

Bobby:
I know i may have made mistakes before
But now i understand what those mistakes were for
Throughout my travels girl, i realized
What you see, what you get don't always coincide
A bird in the hand, beats two in the bush
But just one look, was all it took
Could it be that we're the only one's thinkin' of
Harmony, ecstasy, there's somethin' about this love

Chorus:
We have something in common
Girl you mean so much to me
It should be plain to see that we...
We have something in common
It's the way we feel about each other
When we're together

Whitney:
I'm the type of girl who understands my man
I'll be strong, when he's weak, i will hold his hand
Now i believe old fashioned rules and old fashioned ways
Courtesy, 'honesty, like in the old days
You're my man and i'm your girl
There's nothing better in this whole wide world
I'll stand by your side til the very end
All in all, best of love, we are friends

We, we have something in common
Boy you mean so much to me
It should be plain to see that we...
We have something in common
It's the way we feel about each other
When we're together

We, we have something in common
Yes we do, yes we do, yes we do, yes we do, oh baby
It's the way we feel about each other
When we're together

Girl you know it's you that I adore
And there's no one in this world that I love more

You know I do
You know I do
I really do love you

We, we have something in common
It means so much to me
It should be plain to see that we...
We have something in common
It's the way we feel about each other
When we're together

We, we have something in common
Boy it means so much to me
It should be plain to see that we...
We have something in common
It's the way we feel about each other
When we're together

If I should stay,
I would only be in your way.
So I'll go, but I know
I'll think of you ev'ry step of the way.

And I will always love you.
I will always love you.
You, my darling you. Hmm.

Bittersweet memories
that is all I'm taking with me.
So, goodbye. Please, don't cry.
We both know I'm not what you, you need.

And I will always love you.
I will always love you.

I hope life treats you kind
And I hope you have all you've dreamed of.
And I wish to you, joy and happiness.
But above all this, I wish you love.

And I will always love you.
I will always love you.
I will always love you.
I will always love you.
I will always love you.
I, I will always love you.

You, darling, I love you.
Ooh, I'll always, I'll always love you.
