Girlfriend |
|||
Baby, silly for me to feel this way about you and her
Cuz I know she's been such a good friend
I know she has helped you through
Talkin late on the phone
Every night you've been callin
Private moments alone
And your heart soon be fallin
And I know she's a friend
But I can't shake the feeling
That I could be losing your heart
I think I'm jealous of your girlfriend
Although she's just a girl that is your friend
I think I'm jealous of your girlfriend
She shares a special part of you
You said that she's one well to see
How deep you're in love with me
And intentions were not to get inbetween
But I see possibilites
And you say that you feel
I'm the best thing in your life
And I know it's real
I see it in your eyes
There's no reason for me, to even feel this way
I know you just enjoy her company
I think I'm jealous of your girlfriend
Although she's just a girl that is your friend
I think I'm jealous of your girlfriend
She shares a special part of you
How Come You Don't Call Me Anymore |
But all I wanna know baby is
If what we had was good...
I keep your picture beside my bed (mmm)
And I still remember everything you said (mmm)
I always thought our love was so rare I guess I was wrong
Always thought you'd be by my side papa now you're gone
(And I'm not tryna hear that sh*t)
What I wanna know baby
If what we had was good
How come you don't call me anymore
Still light the fire on the rainy night
Still I invision you holding me tight
Everybody say
Everybody say that we should never part
Tell me baby baby baby why
Why you wanna go and break my heart
What I wanna know baby
If what we had was good
How come you don't call me anymore
Sometimes it feels like I'm gonna die
If you don't call me Papa
Oh you gotta try
I'll get down on my knees
Hoping you please
Oooh won't you call me sometime Papa
Why on earth
Can't you just pick up the phone
You know I don't like to be alone
How come you don't call me
How come you don't call me
How Come You Don't Call Me
But all I wanna know
baby is
If what we had was good...
I keep your picture
beside my bed (mmm)
And I still remember everything you said (mmm)
I always thought our love was so right I guess I was wrong
Always thought you'd be by my side papa now you're gone
(And I'm not tryin' hear that sh*t)
What I wanna know baby
If what we had was good
How come you don't call me anymore
Still light the fire on
the rainy night
Still like it better when your holding me tight
Everybody say
Everybody say that we should never part (mmm)
Tell me baby baby baby why
Why you wanna go and break my heart
All I wanna know baby
If what we had was good
How come you don't call me anymore
Sometimes it feels like
I'm gonna die
If you don't call me Papa
Oh you gotta try
I'll get down on my
knees
Hoping you please please please
Oooh won't you call me sometime Papa
Why on earth
Can't you just pick up the phone
You know I don't like to be alone
How come you don't call
me
(why must you torture me)
How come you don't call me
Fallin' |
I keep on fallin' in
And out of love with you
Sometimes I love you
Sometimes you make me blue
Sometimes I feel good
At times I feel used
Loving you darling
Makes me so confused
I keep on fallin' in and out of love with you
I never loved someone the way that I love you
Oh oh oh I never felt this way
How do you give me so much pleasure
And cause me so much pain
Cuz when I think
I've taken more than would a fool
I start fallin'
Back in love with you
I keep on fallin' in and out of love with you
I never loved someone the way that I love you
I, I, I, I'm fallin'
I, I, I, I'm fallin'
Fallin', fallin', fallin'
Fallin'
I keep on fallin' in and out of love with you
I never loved someone the way that I love you
I'm fallin' in and out of love with you
I never loved someone the way that I love you
I'm fallin' in and out of love with you
I never loved someone the way that I love you
Troubles |
Yeah,yeah,yeah,yeah,yeah
Dear Lord can you take it away? (Oooh)
This pain in my heart that just follows me by day
And at night stalks me like the shawdows on my wall (Mmmmm)
Oh my goodness
It feels like the world is closin' on me
It feels like my dreams will never come to me
I keep on slippin' deeper into myself
And I'm scared, so scared
If your troubled, you just gotta let it go
If your worried baby, you just gotta let it go
All your hustlin' scene for nothing, you just gotta take it slow
When you need me baby, all you do is let me knoooooow
Why does it feel that my mind is constantly trying to pull me down
I can't seem to get away
Continous mistakes I know I'm able for
How long will I feel so out of place
If your troubled, you just gotta let it go
If your worried baby, you just gotta let it go
All your hustlin' scene for nothing, you just gotta take it slow
When you need me baby, all you do is let me knoooooow
If your troubled, you just gotta let it go
If your worried baby, you just gotta let it go
All your hustlin' scene for nothing, you just gotta take it slow
When you need me baby, all you do is let me knoooooow
If your troubled, you just gotta let it go
If your worried baby, you just gotta let it go
All your hustlin' scene for nothing, you just gotta take it slow
When you need me baby, all you do is let me knoooooow
If your troubled, you just gotta let it go
If your worried baby, you just gotta let it go
All your hustlin' scene for nothing, you just gotta take it slow
When you need me baby, all you do is let me knoooooow

A Woman's Worth |
You could buy me
diamonds
You could buy me pearls
Take me on a cruise around the world
Baby you know I'm worth it
Dinner lit by candle
Run my bubble bath
Make love tenderly to last, to last
Cause baby you know I'm worth it
Wanna please wanna keep
wanna treat your woman right
Not just dough but to show that you know she is worth your time
You will lose if you chose to refuse to put her first
She will if she can find a man who knows her worth
Mmm
Cause a real man, knows a real woman when he sees her
And a real woman knows a real man ain't afraid to please her
And a real woman knows a real man always comes first
And a real man just can't deny a womans worth
Mm Hmm Mm Hmmm
Mm Hmm Mm Hmmm
Mm Hmm Mm Hmmm
Mm
If you treat me fairy
I'll give you all my goods
Treat you like a real woman should
Baby I know you're worth it
If you never play me
Promise not to bluff
I'll hold you down when it gets rough
Cause baby I know you're worth it
She walks the mile makes
you smile all the while being true
Don't take for granted the passions that she has for you
You will lose if you chose to refuse to put her first
She will if she can find a man who knows her worth
Oh
Cause a real man knows a real woman when he sees her
And a real woman knows a real man ain't afraid to please her
And a real woman knows a real man always comes first
And a real man just can't deny a woman's worth
No need to read between
the lines spelled out for you (spelled out for you)
Just hear this song cause you can't go wrong when you value (better value)
A woman's (woman's)
Woman's (woman's)
WORTH!
Cause a real man knows a
real woman when he sees her
And a real woman knows a real man ain't afraid to please her
And a real woman knows a real man always comes first
And a real man just can't deny a woman's worth

Goodbye |
Mhmn bye bye
How do you love someone
That hurts you oh so bad
With intentions good
Was all he ever had
But how do I let go when I've
Loved him for so long and I've
Given him all that I could
Maybe love is a hopeless crime
Giving up what seems your lifetime
What went wrong with something once so good
How do you find the words to say
To say goodbye
If your heart don't have the heart to say
To say goodbye
I know now I was naïve
Never knew where this would lead
And I'm not trying to take away
From the good man that he is
But how do I let go when I've
Loved him for so long and I've
Given him all that I could
Was it something wrong that we did
Because others infiltrated
What went wrong with something once so good
How do you find the words to say
To say goodbye
If your heart don't have the heart to say
To say goodbye
Is this the end are you sure
How should you know when you've never been here before
It's so hard to just let go
When this is the one and only love I've ever known
So how do you find the words to say
To say goodbye
If your heart don't have the heart to say
To say goodbye
The Life |
Everyday I realize that
this might be the last day of my life
Walking down the street I find that I'm coming closer and closer to losing my
mind
'Cause when it rains, it pours
Isn't life worth more? I don't even know what I'm hustlin' for
You've gotta do what you gotta do just to make it through
All the hard times that's going to face you
This is the life, trying
to survive
This is the life, trying to survive
Living will always be a
struggle looking for someone to love you
Looking back at single horrors, this madness makes me want to hide
Slowly, internally, I'm dying
Pillow case is wet from all my crying
There is nothing more for me to live for
Take me away, I can't live that life no more
This is the life, trying
to survive
This is the life, trying to survive
This is the life, trying
to survive
This is the life, trying to survive
This is the life, trying
to survive
This is the life, trying to survive
I'm just trying to get over
Never felt this way (Interlude) |
Huh, huh
There will never come a day
You will ever hear me say
That I want or need to be without you
I want to give my all
Baby just hold me
Simply control me
Because your arms they keep away the lonelies
When I look into your eyes
Then I realize
All I need is you in my life
All I need is you in my life
Cuz I never felt this way about lovin
No
Never felt so good baby
Never felt this way about lovin
It feels so good
Butterflyz |
Mmhmn mmhmn
Lately when I look into your eyes I realize
You're the only one I need in my life
Baby I just don't know how to describe
How lovely you made me feel inside
You give me butterflyz
Got me flying so high in the sky
I can't control the butterflyz
You give me butterflyz
Got me flying so high in the sky
I can't control the butterflyz
It seems like the light you give???
From the start you told me I would be your queen
But never had I imagined such a feeling
Joy is what you bring
I want to give you everything
You give me butterflyz
Got me flying so high in the sky
I can't control the butterflyz
You give me butterflyz
Got me flying so high in the sky
I can't control these butterflyz
You and I are destiny
I know now you were made for me
Oh oh ooh
I can't control it
It's driving me
Taking me over
You give me butterflyz
Got me flying so high in the sky
I can't control the butterflyz
You give me butterflyz
Got me flying so high in the sky
I can't control the butterflyz
Mr. Man |
(feat. Jimmy Cozier)
[Jimmy Cozier]
Somethin' about the way you smiled at me juss drove me wild
Wish I could know if your alone, don't wanna cramp your style
But I cannot deny the feel that I feel when I look straight into your eyes
Feel my heart beating fast for a challenge may arise
I wanna know if you feel

I wanna know if theres a chance for me and you (and you)
If theres no way, meet at the bar and you say can't (you can't)
Cuz I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be. I don't wanna be
Unfair to Mr. Man, unfair to Mr.Man,
Unfair to Mr.Man, unfair to Mr.Man, unfair
[Verse 2:]
[Alicia Keys]
Like the way you've given me attention through the nite
Maybe I've had too much remy, my man's right by my side
Everytime I catch you watchin' me I feel somethin' down my spine
I'll play the game, it's just for fun and only for tonite
I wanna know what makes
you feel the way you do (you do)
I think you hopin' theres a chance for me and you (and you)
Should I meet you at the bar and say we can't? (we can't)
If theres no way meet at the bar and you say can't (you can't)
Unfair to Mr. Man, unfair to Mr.Man,
Unfair to Mr.Man, unfair to Mr.Man,unfair to Mr.Man
[Bridge:]
[Alicia]

We both know that we're attracted
Should we let our desires lead?
I wanna know if you feel

I wanna know if theres a chance for me and you (and you)

Why Do I Feel So Sad |
Friends we've been for so long
Now true colors are showing
Makes me wanna cry oh yes it does
Cuz I had to say goodbye
By now I should know
That in time things would change
So it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad
How can I adjust
To the way that things are going
It's killing me slowly
Oh I just want it to be how it used to be
Cuz I wish that I could stay
But in time things must change
So it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad
You cannot hide the way you feel inside I realize
Your actions speak much louder than words
So tell me why oh
By now I should know that
That in time things would change
So it shouldn't be it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad
By now I should know
That in time things must change
So it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad
By now by now I should know
That in time things must grow
And I had to leave you behind
So why do I feel so sad
If it couldn't be that bad
Tell me why
By now I should know
That in time things would change
So it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad
Caged Bird |
Right now I feel like a bird
Caged without a key
Everyone comes to stare at me
With so much joy and rivalry
They din't know how I feel inside
Through my smile I cry
They don't know what they're doin' to me
Keeping me from flyin'
That's why I say that
I know why the caged bird sings
Only joy comes from song
She's so rare and beautiful to thers
Why not just set her free
So she can
Fly, fly, fly
Spreadin her wings and her song
Let her
Fly, fly fly
For the whole world to see
She's like caged bird
Fly, fly
Ooh just let her fly
Just let her fly
Just let her fly
Spread the wings
Spread the beauty
