Only U

Baby you know I love it when you scratch my back, ooh yeah, right there
And you know I love it when you make me jump, so high
Cause nobody can do the way you do

No, only you can make me feel
The way that you do, tell me it’s real
Only you can make me see
How beautiful love can be
Only you

Baby you know I love it when you look my way
And you know I love it when you make me smile, so wide
Cause, nobody can do the way you do

Only you can make me feel
The way that you do, tell me it’s real
Only you can make me see
How beautiful love can be
Only you

Only you can make me feel
The way that you do, tell me it’s real
Only you can make me see
How beautiful love can be
Only you

 Check Yourself
I got 4 years wasted, 4 years gone, 4 years less for me to find
Someone who feels for me the way I feel for you
I got 4 years spent on hopeless dreams that have left me with nothing more than
4 long years of sleepless nights

I got 4 years of phone sex, unfulfilling every time
3000 miles of disappointment
Well, at least the flight was free, or was it?
There’s always a cost and this one’s a bitch, my pride, self respect and dignity

I should’ve known all along, but no, not me
No, not silly, romantic, optimistic me
I should’ve seen who you really are but, baby I was so blind
You better check yourself and tell me what you see

I got 4 years of wanting gone down the drain
Yeah, 4 years of comparing every man I meet to you
What was I thinking? Or was I?
So much for my highly educated ass ever gettin’ it right.

I should’ve known all along, but no not me
No, not silly, romantic, optimistic me
I should’ve seen who you really are but, baby I was so blind
You better check yourself and tell me what you see
Yeah, not silly, romantic, optimistic me
I should’ve known who you really are but, baby I was so blind
Why don’t you check yourself and tell me what you see

Tell me, when you look in the mirror, what do you see
So much lost, not that you’d seem to know it or care to ask
As I lie next to you silently weeping, as you so peacefully snore
Right through one thousand four hundred thirty-nine days
One thousand four hundred thirty–nine nights give or take a few
3 shrinks, 2 towns, 4 apartments and one cat have all been witness to my misery,
Everybody, everybody

I should’ve known all along, but no not me
Not silly, romantic, optimistic me
I should’ve seen who you really are but, baby I was so blind
I was so blind, but you know
I should’ve known all along, but no not me
Oh baby not silly, romantic, optimistic me
I should’ve seen who you really but I was so blind
You better check yourself and tell me what you see

Relax Your Mind
Music saved my life not once but twice
Maybe three times I lost count a long time ago
Such a long, such a long time ago

Well I swear that I must be of feline design
To have ever, to have ever lasted this long
No I never thought I would last this long

But the music in my head, in my mind
Way deep down in my soul
Keeps me from going crazy and helps me to let go

If you love something set it free, yeah, isn’t that how the saying goes?
(well I don’t know about that) If you love something or some cat,
You better hold on tight, don’t ever let go, no, don’t ever let go no, no, no

Of the music in your head, in your mind
And way deep down in your soul
It’s gonna keep you from going crazy, and help you to let go

 All Night
I want a man who can stand up to me
And at the same time make me weak in the knees
I need a man who can put up a fight
But, hear me boy, you better treat me right
And if you do, if you do I just might
Might let you love me, might let you love me all night

Everyday and every night, I got what you need
Everyday and every night, I got what you need

I want a man who is well read and versed
But what you say better not sound rehearsed
I need a man who can cook it up right
And make it taste good so I can take a bite
And if you do, if you do I just might
Might let you love me, might let you love me all night

Everyday and every night, I got what you need
Everyday and every night, I got what you need

And if you do, if you do I just might
Yeah, might let you love me, might let you love me all night

Give Me More
Baby, I got to tell ya,
Something you should know.
Baby I got to show ya,
Just how I love you so.

You’ve got the sweetest eyes that I have ever seen,
I don’t think I can stare anymore.
You’ve got the sweetest lips that I have ever kissed,
Oh baby, you got to give me more.

Give me more, more, more, more, more,
Oh yeah, dontcha walk out my door till ya give me more.
Ooh yeah, give me more.

Baby, I got to tell ya,

Give me more, more, more, more, more.
Oh yeah, dontcha walk out my door, till ya give me more.
Ooh yeah, give me more.

Baby, I got to tell ya,

Baby I got to show ya,
Just how I love you so.

Give me more, more, more, more, more.
Oh yeah, dontcha walk out my door, till ya give me more.
Ooh yeah, give me more.

When it Rains
I know that I can’t stay
I know it’s time to go
I don’t care about tomorrow
I got what I need today

Oh baby when it rains, it pours
Lightning strikes, thunder rolls
yeah you’ve got a thunderstorm

Up above a storm is brewing
Not a patch of blue in the sky
Never did a cloudy day look so good
I can’t wait, let the rain come drench my soul

Oh because when it rains, baby it pours
Lightning strikes, thunder rolls
Yeah you’ve got a thunderstorm

Maybe it’s ‘cause I’m free (maybe it’s cause I’m 30, maybe it’s ‘cause I’m free, maybe it’s ‘cause the universe if finally smiling at me)
Maybe it’s ‘cause I’ let it go (maybe it’s ‘cause I learned to let it loose and let it go, maybe it’s ‘cause I let the river run right to my door)

Because when it rains, ooh baby it pours
Lightning strikes, thunder rolls
Soon you’ve got a thunderstorm
Ooh baby when it rains, you know that it pours
Lightning strikes, thunder rolls
Boy you’ve got a thunderstorm

Goodbye (Soul Music Pt 2)
Let me live for the moment
Let me drink the juice of life
Let me play with fire
Let me feel my fright

I’m so tired of running after you
You make me wanna to scream out loud
But you never listen to me
Anyway

So I’m saying goodbye, saying goodbye, saying goodbye
I am leaving, I am gone, I’m saying goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

All I want is to be free
So I can bare my soul
All I ask of you tonight
Is please just let me go

I’m so tired of running after you
You make me wanna to scream out loud
But you never listen to me anyway

So I’m saying goodbye, saying goodbye, saying goodbye
I am leaving, I am gone, I’m saying goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
I’m saying goodbye, saying goodbye, saying goodbye
I am leaving, I am gone, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

So I’m saying goodbye, saying goodbye, saying goodbye
I am leaving, I am gone, I’m saying goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
No I’m screaming goodbye, screaming goodbye, screaming goodbye
I am leaving, I am gone, goodbye

Everything
If you don’t know what to say, don’t say anything
Oh but, if you don’t know what to do, you better do something
If you don’t know where you are, ask direction
If you don’t know what to give, give everything you can

Everything you want, everything you need
Is standing in front of you
Every little thing you want, every little thing you need
Is right here, all you got to do is stand up and choose

If you’ve got some time to talk, I will listen to ya, yeah
If you’ve got some time to give, I will take it, oh yes I will
If you need a helping hand, you can have mine
If you think it’s time for a change, let’s change everything

Everything you want, everything you need
Is right here in front of you
Every little thing you want, every little thing you need
Is right here, all you got to do is stand up and choose

Dontchawannaknow?
Some people sleep through their lives, and they don’t see what I see
They’ve been blinded by the beautiful light from their big ass flat screen plasma TV
They just believe what they hear, from the fear factory
They’ve got no sense of the lie, so all I can do is try to explain

Dontcha wanna know where the dollars go?
Dontcha wanna know why the grass won’t grow?
Don’t you even care where the young folk are?
They’re gone to graveyards one by one

Open your eyes, and try to see what they’re not showing you
Open the blinds and try to see the world around you
Open your mind, to the lies that you live and the truth of it all
Open your eyes, but don’t believe everything that you see no, no

Dontcha wanna know where the dollars go?
Dontcha wanna know why the grass won’t grow?
Don’t you even care where the young folk are?
They’re gone to graveyards one by one

Dontcha wanna know where the dollars go?
Dontcha wanna know why the grass won’t grow?
Don’t you even care where the young folk are?
They’re gone to graveyards one by one


No Names

Boy:
Excuse me princess, it’s you I adore
Necessito tu I amor
I’ve gotta come real you’re the one I feel
I wanna give you the world just tell me the deal
Never met a lady that could really move me
But now that I’m here I admit that you soothe me
On you my love I won’t play games
Just say you’re a good girl and I won’t ask names

Girl:
So you say you wanna know how many there have been?
Well baby, I gotta number that could make your head spin.
Does it really matter who, or where, or why before?
Can’t you see that you’re the one that I’ve been looking for?
A girl’s gotta kiss a lotta frogs to find her prince.
So, maybe I did a little more.
Yeah I’ve been around but I call it education.
Some things are better left unsaid

You don’t want no names, no
You don’t want no names,
You don’t want no names, no
You don’t want no names,

Boy:
I’m a man of expanding and my time is demanding
I’m of the young and restless not into Knots Landing
A true go getta and I’m down to provide
But I need and special lady to be by my side
Take the chance, I can take you dancing
Candlelight dinner with all the romancing
We can jump the boogie til the break of dawn
This can’t be wrong so tell me what you’re on

Girl:
In order to become the girl I am today,
I had to go through what I had to go through.
Everybody’s got a past, but I’m not looking back.
All I care about is now and who’s beside me.
I’ve got plans, I’ve got big dreams,
I’ve got a future made of gold waiting for me.
So if you wanna be a part of it sit back and listen,
I’ll tell you everything you wanna know but trust me

You don’t want no names, no
You don’t want no names,
You don’t want no names, no
You don’t want no names

Boy:
So I don’t care about the past I think this can last
Let’s chill and lay low and not move too fast
We’ve done what we’ve done, been bad and then some
Just admit that I’m yours cause I know you’re the one
No games and no lies, look deep in my eyes
Put our hearts together and our spirits rise
I want you so much cause I’m the king of the shameless
And you have been chosen the queen of the nameless

You don’t want no names, no
You don’t want no names,
You don’t want no names, no
You don’t want no names

Can You Believe?
It started like any old election day
But I could not foresee how it would turn out to be
I woke up to the sound of my father’s frantic voice
He was telling me to “wake up girl and turn on your TV”

Can you believe what you see, coming out of your TV?
What does it mean when you see, a yellow ribbon on an SUV?

I ran right out of my apartment in my naked feet
I saw my neighbors standing frozen in their disbelief
Dust and debris was falling all around
It took us all a moment to see it was the towers coming down

Can you believe what you see, coming out of your TV?
What does it mean when you see, a yellow ribbon on an SUV?

Can you believe what you see, coming out of your TV?
What does it mean when you see, a yellow ribbon on an SUV?

I see the blue sky up above and it reminds me
I hear a fire engine wail and it reminds me
I see the wreckage of New Orleans it reminds me
Every time I see corruption and destruction it reminds me to scream

Can you believe what you see, coming out of your TV?
What does it mean when you see, a yellow ribbon on an SUV?
