Syleena Johnson - I Am Your Woman: The Best Of Syleena Johnson [compilation] (2008) by Syleena Johnson (보컬) on maniadb.com

You work a good nine to five
And let it control you
Hungry for the piece of the pie you think someone owes you
But you don't try to survive past what you think you know
You say afloat never swim, let the waves take your soul.

Everybody wants something
(But they don't earn it)
But you're not gonna get from me
(From me)
Gotta go for what you know (what you know)
What you get ain't all what you see.

Relationships are up to you to manifest destiny
You fuss and fight all the time, seems like you can't agree
No compromise, everyone thinks they're so damn wise
But I know one thing's for certain
What you do brings everything, while what you say don't mean a damn thing
What you say don't mean a damn thing, oh, oh.

[2X]
What you see ain't always what you get
What you see ain't always what you get
What you see ain't always what you get

Waking up in the morning with a smile on my face
'Cause I'm happy to be right next to you.
Thinking about the way you talk and the things you say
Make me stay so damned addicted to you

And I can't let go of your money and your time
And when touch me in my places, you send chills right down my spine.
I want you to know that you got me hypnotized
And I'll always be right by your side

You got my body, soul, and mind.
If loving you is wrong baby
Then I'd rather be wrong, baby
'Cause I, I can't live without you

If loving you is wrong baby
Then, I'd rather be wrong, baby
'Cause I, I ain't right without you.

Friends say that we won't last but, I know that ain't so
'Cause they, they don't see how you love me
They judge me off the loves I had in the past, but his love's good to go
And you make me so dam happy.

They don't know, what it is to have everything
When you never had anything to show for
Since you brought me out of all my misery
I never had a man to love me like you do, it's do damn true
And if loving you is wrong
Then to hell with what the right folks do
(I don't want to be right)
I don't care if I'm wrong.

If loving you is wrong baby
Then I'd rather be wrong, baby
'Cause I, I can't live without you
If loving you is wrong baby
Then, I'd rather be wrong, baby
'Cause I, I ain't right without you. [Repeat: x 2]

Another Lonely night
And you're on my mind
I can't sleep, can't eat
From what you done to me

Was she that fine
Was it that deep
For you to give yourself
So easily

And not consider my feelings
How could you be so ignorant
But I'm a woman of love
And not a woman of hate

So instead of wilin' out
I'll get out your way
It's obvious that the love is gone
So what in the hell am I supposed to say

You say it ain't that serious
But it IS that serious

[Chorus'
'Cause I'm gone cry I'm gone cry I'm gone cry I'm gone cry-cry for you
I'm gone Cry. I'm gone cry anyway
But I won't try I won't try I won't try I won't try-try for you
But I still won't try for you baby (No)

Now you calling me
With the baby please
Trying to make it somewhat like it used to be
No we can't be friends

'Cause when I talk to you
I catch them old feelings
It might make me want ya back
When it's dangerous to want ya back

So I'm cutting ya loose
Sick of being confused
Trying to lie to myself
Like I'm over you

And even though I care
I still don't want to bare
All this drama and pain
It's like I can't stop fallin'
So you would PLEASE stop callin;

[Chorus]

'Cause I'm gone cry I'm gone cry I'm gone cry I'm gone cry-cry for you
Said I'm gone Cry anyway
But I won't try I won't try I won't try I won't try-try for you
But I won't try baby (no no)

See I know that I'm gone Cry for you
But I Still won't try for you baby
'Cause I'm gone cry I'm gone cry I'm gone cry I'm gone cry-cry for you
But I won't try I won't try I won

I don't know what you've been told, baby
But, there's definitely something wrong with you.
This shit is getting kinda old baby, staying out all night and acting like a fool.

You don't come home at night.
All we do is fuss and fight.
Steadily, hangin' with the boys
When I'm the only one employed
Can't buy me diamond rings.
Can't buy a damn thing
Pager beeping nine one one
I thought I was the only one.

Ain't no love, ain't no joy
Ain't no times left to enjoy
Ain't no love, ain't even no lust
Ain't no kindness baby, ain't no trust.

Lately, you been kinda bold, darlin'
Getting pages and calls all night through
I guess it's time for me to fold darlin'
'Cause there's nothing left to hold on to
Ain't no love.

Ain't no love, ain't no joy.
Ain't no times left to enjoy
Ain't no love, ain't no lust
Ain't no kindness, ain't no trust.

Through all the pain that you caused me I was there, I was there.
Through all the times, that you didn't see, I was there, I was there.
Through all the gambling debts you had, I was there, I was there
Now I'm gone and it's too bad
I was there, I was there.

Through all the pain that you caused me I was there, I was there.
Through all the times, that you didn't see, I was there, I was there.
Through all the gambling debts you had, I was there, I was there
Now I'm gone and it's too bad
I was there, I was there.

fresh tennis suit walkin' with 'Leena like brass knuckles on my fist aint it mane

[Syleena (Verse 1)]
Boy, you got that crazy magic formula
And I can't shake it babe
Just wanna drink it babe
And I stay hungry for your love
You keep me wanting "beef"
Wanna eat it up
Tell me what

[B-Section]
(What is this)
(That's so addictive) That's so addictive that I
Lose control
It feels so good
I had to ask a question
(What is this)
(That's got me feenin) Got me fiending, yeah
Can't seem to let go
Oh, baby your love is so

[Chorus]
Hypnotic, hypnotic, hypnotic, hypnotic, so hypnotic
Your love is so
[repeat]

[Verse 2:]
Can't seem to run, can't seem to hide
Your love keeps finding me
It's that chemistry between us
Oooh, boy you are all I focus on
I'm loving every moment
So why'd you had to go on and blow my mind

[B-section]

[Chorus]

[Fabolous]
young money on the flo'
connection to the Chi
what it is!

I roll through the block and the roof be low and the 22's couldnt be cleaner
they start yellin' out F-A-B-O
its the young boy with Syleena
they lookin with a flash light
in the daytime coz the cash right and the words may rhyme
some say i'm
the real talk of the city of New York
its the Diddy in the walk and the smooth in my style groove with a smile 'till they prove in the trail
that i move with the cow 40 that is shorty is his when she see's how icy the automo' is the game is
hypnotic summin' like the blue drink you see me on the hood frontin' with the blue mink stuntin' with the
new link ya like how
i do's what i do's and i have 'em like Wow!

[Bridge]
(You're my medicine) Oh, you take the pain away
And bring me healing, boy
(And you bring me so much joy)
(Feeling)
Whenever you come near me
I just cannot help myself
Because your love is so

[Chorus / Adlib]

Ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh

[Verse 1]
Listen
How do I live without you [echo]
And every day that I open my eyes and turn to my side
Gotta smile deep inside
Cause the one who was there was you
And how do I focus at work [echo]
Everytime my cell phone rings or a pager beeps
I'm so nervous so anxious but hoping the caller is you
And how am I s'pose to get sleep [echo]
When every night that I lay down my head in my bed
you ain't there with your arms wrapped around me holding me all nite through
And how could this be fair [echo]
When I gave you all of my love all my time every dime after spending still
you could walk out the door to explore

[Chorus]
Another relationship
Is that what this is about
Another relationship
That you would leave your own house
For Another relationship
Was that the straw that broke the camels back
Another relationship another relationship
Baby tell me whats up with that

What does she have on me
What does she do that is so damn good that would make you give up
all the love all the trust and the stuff that you built with me
Does she know my name
Did you ever tell her that she was taking and breaking the bond that we strengthened
through blood sweat and tears over the years
Boy you dont hear me
And has she met your son
Or maybe your mother and father your sister 2 brothers
and all of your cousins your uncle who loves and still call me
And how could this be
Tell me whats better than storming the weather and staying together with the one you love
and have a history

[Chorus]
Another relationship
How could you do this to us is that what this is about
Another relationship
How could you leave your own house
Another relationship
Was that the straw that broke the camels back
Another relationship Another relationship
(Baby tell me whats up with that)
(Tell me)

[Bridge]
I thought that we were so happy (I thought we were)
(So Happy baby)
How could you leave so easily
Is she worth all that baby
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[Chorus 2]
Another relationship
Ohhhh how could you baby
Another relationship
Sacrificed our happy life
For Another relationship
And this wasnt what you promised me
Another relationship Another relationship
You said you would love me love me love me forever baby
Another relationship
So how come I wasnt good enough, oh
Another relationship
I know all relationships get tough, oh
For Another relationship
How could you do this to me
Another relationship Another relationship
Ohhh we're suppose to be building a family
Another relationship
Ohhh why why God did you leave
Another relationship
So so so so easily
Another relationship
And what da hell do I do now
Another relationship Another relationship
When
....I'm carrying your child

Oh Oh
Oooo

Something on your mind I feel it everytime I'm with you
If what you like to do is something I like to, let's get it tight

[Chorus:]
If you play your cards right
Everything will be alright with me
If you play your cards right
Everything will be alright with me

You won't have to hide what you feel inside
And be afraid to talk to me
Love is guaranteed
Play them right with me and you will see

[Chorus]

[Break]

[Chorus (repeat) til fade]

Just because you put a ring on my finger
Just because you put some clothes on my back.
Just because you gave me money for December
Doesn't mean that I have to pay you back.

You were my husband
You were supposed to do the things you chose to do
I loved you 'til the end
And I'd rather die before I let my kids see.
The way you hit on me
The way you hit on me
Every night I'd cry hopin' that they'd never see
The way you hit on me
The way you hit on me
The way you hit on me
How come you hit on me?

I made believe that it really didn't hurt me
Made believe that I only hurt myself
I believed you every time you said I'm sorry
Was too ashamed to tell someone I needed help.

[2X]
You don't know how you destroy my life.
I thought I was supposed to be your wife
And I can't even try to understand
What you think it takes to be a man.
Why'd you do it
Why why why
Why why why
What about my children
What about the babies
What about the family
You're supposed to be a husband
You know nothing good gone come to you
I'm so tired, I'm so tired
I'm so weary, I'm so weary
Can't believe you did this to me
Can't take it no more
Can't take it no more

Let's take a minute
And talk about
What turned this home into a house
I don't know what this war's about but
Been through too much
Not to work it out
Now you say you've been lovin' me
Me only baby faithfully
It's might strange when my eyes can see
That you've been cheatin' around on me.

I am your woman (I'm your woman)
Woman (oh yes I am)
Woman (so show some respect and treat me as such)
I am your woman (your woman)
Woman (oh yes I am)
Woman (and all I ask is that you honor this love)
Now I've been dealin' with you
Since sweet 16
Woman enough to let you raise me
You used to call me Daddy's ghetto queen
And you still mean the world to me
No sooner than I say no more
I run to you like a corner store

I don't love you enough to hate ya
But yet I love you too much to leave

I am your woman (I guess that make me your)
Woman (oh yes it does)
Woman (you need to show some respect and treat me as such)

I am your woman (oh woman)
Woman (woman)
And all I ever asked is that you honor this love
Now we, boo, hours
When the clock strikes 3
You should be at home in bed with me
Takin' advantage of a real good thing
How long will it take you to see
Sometimes I ask myself are you crazy
To stay here and put up with this pain
You promised me the moon and the stars above but all I seem to get is rain

(Ah Woman [2X])
But I'm caught up in your whirlwind
I'm blown away
It's gonna take more than some shoes to get me home
I don't wanna
I don't wanna go now
I'm gonna stay right here and rebuild this house

'Cause I am your woman yeah
So show some respect and treat me as such oh yeah, yeah
Yes I am
And all you've gotta do is honor this love oh yeah
I'm your woman
You are my man
Soul 2 soul yeah
Hand in hand
I believe this is heaven's
This is heaven's plan
And when the morning comes
You will be with me
Puttin' your breakfast on the table
Daddy do you have enough to eat
And every day will be a holiday for you and me
'Cause I am your woman
Baby love
Just like a diamond ring
We will shine 'til the blind can see
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh yes we will
'Cause I am your woman [5X]
Until we split up or somethin'
I am your woman [4X]
Ooh

Every time I think about the changes we've been going through
I think of how losing you would be the worst thing I could do
'Cause no one makes me feel this was, this calm, this warm, this whole, this safe
You humble me in every way with every single word you say

[Chorus:]
You make me wanna sing
You make me wanna shout
You make me wanna know, what love is all about
You make me wanna try
You show me I can fly
I'm so faithful to you
And though I'm just a girl caught up in this world
I want you to know I'll let all that go
To you I will be true
And line my life to show you
I'm so faithful to you

Love is patient, love is kind, for me your love comes right on time
I never knew I'd feel so good 'cause you always understood
And even though I went astray, you took me back and let me stay
Now that I changed my ways
I want to thank you for loving me anyway

[Chorus]

Whatever you do
I'll be right there, I'll be right there
And wherever you go
I'll be right there, I'll be right there
And whatever you need
I will supply, I will supply
"Cause I'm faithful to you
And only you, and only you

[Chorus]

I know that I made you wait for a very long time
'Cause I wasn't ready baby for you to come inside
I wanted you to know my name and not just what's between my thighs
I wanted you to play the game because I knew you get the prize
But the game is over baby, no more you need to fantasize
'Cause I'm not letting go so come and put your lips on mine
And I won't even hesitate, oh no baby not this time
I'm gonna give you all my loving. Gonna make up for lost time

[Chorus]
I just want to, I just want to break free
And let you put your hands all over me
I just want to lose control
Tonight I'm gonna let go
So baby come and put your arms around me
'Cause I think I'm ready to be all you need
And nobody has to know
Tonight I'm gonna let go

Won't you come a little closer while I slowly dim the lights
And put your hands up on my body. Baby you can take your time
Ain't no need to rush baby 'cause we got all night
I just want to scream your name and make you want to scream mine
I tried to fight the feelin' baby. Boy you got me hypnotized
But I can't help that I've been feenin' lately. I think about you all the time
Tonight I'm gonna get aggressive baby so don't you fear put up a fight
Tonight I'm gonna put it on you baby. Sit back, relax, enjoy the ride

[Chorus: x 4]

(Ooh..ooh..ooh)
ooh....ooh...

Everyone`s grabbing your hands

Onto just step and dance

And the DJ happens to be

playing my favorite song



(Chorus 2)

I can feel it now

You`ll be waiting that lonely

and the music`s got me feeling so free

cstacy...

Tonight we`ll make it history, (girl)



(*hook* repeat)
