Seen many men in my time
But none of them

that I need and
all that a man should be
put me on a flight

buy I can ball if I wanna
and I know you're hurting for
these same old metaphors
my love is so much more
I don't wanna change it
I don't wanna
do without ya baby
Cause he's just
above the rest
I must confess the best
love that I've ever had
and I just gotta let you
know this
don't let 'em tell you
nothing different
you're the only one
I'm needing
I don't want no one but you
Baby no one will do
And what
they say don't even matter
They don't know
what I know about ya
I don't want no one but you
Baby no one will do
It's me and
him through the wire
Cause when
it comes to love he delivers
My personal U P S
I'm sending him an S O S
That I love him
and I want him
And don't wanna
replace him with nobody else
I'mma keep holding on
I'mma keep the loving strong
I know you're hurting for
these same old metaphors
my love is so much more
I don't wanna change it
I don't wanna
do without ya baby
Cause he's just
above the rest
I must confess the best
love that I've ever had
and I just gotta let you
know this
don't let 'em tell you
nothing different
you're the only one
I'm needing
I don't want no one but you
Baby no one will do
And what
they say don't even matter
They don't know
what I know about ya
I don't want no one but you
Baby no one will do
I don't want nobody
nobody nobody no no no
nobody but you
I don't want nobody
I don't want nobody
You're the only one

I'm needing
I don't want no one but you
Baby no one will do
And what

what I know about ya
I don't want no one but you
Baby no one will do

Chemistry was crazy from the get-go
Neither one of us knew why
We didn't build nothing overnight
Cuz a love like this takes some time
People swore it off as a phase
Said we can't see that
Now from top to bottom
They see that we did that yes
It's so true that yes
We've been through it yes
We got real sh** yes
See baby we been...
Too strong for too long
and I can't be without you baby
And I'll be waiting up until you get home
cuz I can't sleep without you baby
Anybody who's ever loved,
ya know just what I feel
Too hard to fake it, nothing can replace it
Call the radio if you just can't be
without your baby
I got a question for ya
See I already know the answer
But still I wanna ask you
Would you lie? no
Make me cry? no
Do somethin' behind my back
and then try to cover it up?
Well, neither would I, baby
My love is only your love yes
I'll be faithful yes
I'm for real yes
And with us you'll always know the deal
We've been...
Too strong for too long
and I can't be without you baby
And I'll be waiting up until you get home
cuz I can't sleep without you baby
Anybody who's ever loved,
ya know just what I feel
Too hard to fake it, nothing can replace it
Call the radio if you just can't be
without your baby
See this is real talk
I'm always stay no matter what
Good or bad thick and thin
Right or wrong all day everyday
Now if you're down on love or don't believe
This ain't for you no, this ain't for you
And if you got it deep in your heart
And deep down you know that it's true
come on, come on, come on
Well, let me see you
put your hands up hands up
Fellas tell your lady she's the one
fellas tell your lady she's the one, oh
Put your hands up hands up
Ladies let him know he's got your love
Look him right in his eyes and tell him

Too strong for too long
and I can't be without you baby
And I'll be waiting up until you get home

In my life I´ve seen It all
Now it´s time For me To pass
On this Knowledge to you
All my sisters My troubled sisters
This is my Gift to you

Been many days Couldn´t take 
The pain Felt like
I should take My life away
See it everyday
In every other Young sisters face
(Young sister, sister)

See´em cryin´ out Life full of doubt
Runnin´ in the streets No self esteem
Thinkin´ that Use to be me What a shame

And life Is a mutha It´s hard
To sit back And see
The same thing Happen to me
Happen to you This ain´t love
But here´s The love
I wanna give to you

It dosen´t Matter what
They say or do Don´t let´em
Get to you Don´t be afraid
You can, you can
You can breakthrough

Take what I´ve been through
To see that You can´t
Hold a good Woman down

Went through The same point
Of givin´ up
I-I felt Like I had enough
Went to the edge
Of the ledge But I didn´t jump "My Life"
Will sum it up You can´t
Hold a good Woman down

When I use to see My daddy beat
My mother down Down to her feet
I use to say That ain´t gon´
Never be me (Never be me)

Now look at you Bruised up
From him Girl recognize
You´re better then Him tellin´ you
That he´ll never hit
You again Girl don´t cry

And life Is a mutha It´s hard
To sit back And see
The same thing Happen to me
Happen to you This ain´t love
But here´s The love
I wanna give to you

Went through The same point
Of givin´ up
I-I felt Like I had enough
Went to the edge
Of the ledge But I didn´t jump "My Life"
Will sum it up You can´t
Hold a good Woman down

Through your changes
I will hold your hand Use my songs
As remedies
Whenever you´re feelin´ Down or blue
I´ll be there for you Trust
And know That I´ve been
Where you´re at Seen the things
That you can see Lookin´ at you
Resembles me But you gotta Hold your own

Went through The same point Of givin´ up
I-I felt Like I had enough
Went to the edge
Of the ledge But I didn´t jump "My Life"
Will sum it up You can´t
Hold a good Woman down

Can´t hold me Down

You can´t hold
A good woman down -

She's been down and out
She's been wrote about
She's been talked about
constantly
She's been up and down
She's been pushed around
But they held her down
N Y C
She has no regrets
She accepts the past
All these things they
helped to make she
She's been lost and found
And she's still around
There's a reason for
everything
You know I've been holdin on
Try to make me weak
But I still stay strong
Put my life all up
in these songs
Jus so you can feel me
So take me as I am
or have nothing at all
Just take me as I am
or have nothing at all
Yes she's older now
Yes she's wiser now
Can't disguise her now
She don't need
No one tellin her
What to do and say
No one tellin her
Who to be
She's on solid ground
She's been lost and found
Now she answers to G O D
And she's confident
This is not the end
Ask me how I know Cause
she is me
You know I've been holdin on
Try to make me weak
But I still stay strong
Put my life all up
in these songs
Jus so you can feel me
So take me as I am
or have nothing at all
Just take me as I am
or have nothing at all
So it's all or
nothing at all
All or nothing at all
Don't you know
I can only be me
I can only be me
I can only be me
So it's all or
nothing at all
All or nothing at all
Don't you know
I can only be me
I can only be me
So take me as I am
or have nothing at all
Just take me as I am
or have nothing at all
Take me as I am
Take me as I am
Said it's all or

With all this baggage in me
Everytime I hurt your feelings

and brace myself for the hurt
But nobody has ever treated me this way
Please be patient with me

This baggage with me
Don't wana make you pay
for what somebody else has done to me
I don't know what to do
With all this baggage in me
Everytime I hurt your feelings

I don't mean to hurt you
I got this baggage with me
Don't wana make you pay
for what somebody else has done to me
I don't know what to do
With all this baggage in me
Everytime I hurt your feelings
it's what someones done to me
I don't mean to hurt you
It's no way to be livin' my life
But I can't get it out of my mind
You know I love you yes I do

Don't be confused coz

and imma always hold you down thats real shit
I'm the Los Angeles King and you remind me of Mary the R&B Queen
I got the 411 whats crackin what I owe you for helping me go 4 times platinum
I had a kid to my life he's almost 2 i guess wat im tryin 2 say
is thank you for over ten years in the ghetto gospel
you paved the way for young black women of prosper
how you paint pictures
you deserve grammies and oscars
congratulation from me Aftermath and the "Dr"
so you could go ahead envy me
I'm Billboards top ten featuring 'MJB'

[Mary]
'91 i stepped in this game
After 'whats the 411' things aint been the same
and i cant complain but with all this fame comes a whole lot of pain
but im so glad to be here
and my music's still sincere
lets get back to the story
all of this pain and glory
and '94 was my life and my life wasn't right
so i reached out to you and told u what i been through

[Chorus: Mary & 50 Cent]
Hate it or love it,
(The underdogs on top)
(And I'm gonna shine homie until my heart stops)
go 'head envy me
I'm the soul hip-hop queen
and i aint going nowhere
but you already know me
Hate it or love it,
(The underdogs on top)
(And I'm gonna shine homie until my heart stops)
go 'head envy me
I'm the soul hip-hop queen
and i aint going nowhere
but you already know me

[Mary:]


I came with 'share my world'
but at that point I was just a foolish girl
trying to find my way
Then I dropped the 'Mary' album
and people were saying that its just not gonna work
and my feelings they did hurt
but my fans showed me so much love
and i owe it all to them
and i came with 'No More Drama'
I remember that year
it was when Aaliyah died i couldnt hardly sleep
thought about it everyday and it made me change my way
I'm a real woman now because of all of these days

[Repeat Chorus:]

[Hook:]
You remind me
of a real love
(you dont 'ave to worry)
real love
all night long

Love without a limit

Cause I need you.
Every day and every night,
You make wonders in my life,
That's why I call on you.

This is true.
I can't get enough of you. (I can't get enough of you)
This is true, (oh this is true)
I can't get enough of you (I can't get enough of you)

Listen,
You bring joy instead of pain,
Bring me flowers after rain,
You give me lovely days
I know I can count on you,
To turn my gray skies blue,
That's why I love you.

[Chorus]
This is true.
I can't get enough of you.
This is true, (love the way you tell me the truth about me)
I can't get enough of you (It's the only thing that could set me free)
This is true (You love me more than I love myself),
I can't get enough of you (No one can give me this confidence)

(Please don't) Please don't leave me
(ever leave my side) I can't do it, I can't do it naw
(I can't live without you) I can't live without you
(I've already tried) Tried

I don't think that I can make it,
And I'm not prepared to take it,
If you're not with me.
I can make it thorugh the storm,
I need your love to keep me warm,
It's what makes me strong.

[Chorus]

I love it when you tell me the truth about me
It's the only thing that could set me free
You Love me more than I love myself

Everyday I look for ways to bring us closer
But more and more you appear to be drawing back
And lately when We're making love its getting weaker
My heart don't feeling it and feeling is everything
And I'm feeling like maybe you just don't feel it
And I don't know how to play it
In the past, didn't know how to say it
But I

[Chorus]
I held my tongue too long
I can't do it no more (I just can't do it babe)
See how can a man be so cold
To a woman that loves him most (I don't get it at all)
(But if you wanna go) There's the door
(I can't hold ya) Boy you're grown
(You must got me confused)
(I treat myself way too good)
And a love that tears you down ain't really love

Everyday I'm getting up and making breakfast
And more and more you're walking in without a word
And everyday I'm trying to ask, "Baby what's wrong?"
And more and more you say I'm getting on your nerves
And then you take me to the level of some bullshit
Ya said ya never had these problems from a white chic
You got me twisted and twisted is just not how I get with it
You need to sit down and hear it

[Chorus]

I'm pouring out my heart (my heart)
Don't just sit there while my heart is on the line
Speak your truth (speak your truth)
What it's worth (what it's worth)
Not a word you say will go unheard
Now if it's like that
Then baby just pack your bags
Cause I'm sick and tired of fighting
I'm sick and tired of trying
I had enough of waiting
I'm not that good with playing
I know I love you
But I love myself too

[Chorus: x2]

I Found My Everything

Everything (mmmm)
In you (mmmm)
I found my everything (mmmm)
And I trust in you (mmmm)
I found my...

Can't you see, look at my face it's glowing
And it's all because of you

Everything about ya, ya see I need
And I thank God for sending you through

[CHORUS]
(I found my everything)
Ya see I found, my everything (in you)
In you

Ya see I found everything and I (and I trust in you)
I trust in you

Ooo, the way you kiss me it's like a real man (mmmm)
I leave the prom when I
Look in your eyes baby (mmmm yeah, every night)
And every night is like a highlight baby
And there's no better keeper than you
Oh, naw naw naw

Understands me

Cause I never had a reason to smile before

[CHORUS]

Ooooh
Oooooooh
Oooh oohh
Can I talk to you baby?

When I was a little girl
I didn't have a father
And that's why
I'm leaning on you

When I was a baby
I didn't get a hug
From daddy that's
Why I need a hug from you

Oooh it's not easy
And I thank you for putting up with me
When u don't have a daddy's love

(To say that you)
to say that I'm you're little girl
(Are his little girl)
Oh why didn't you love me?
(And give you the love)
I need love yeh yeh yeh
(You really deserve)
And I believe I deserve and that's why oh

That's why I need the father in you
(I need the father in you baby)
That's why I need a father in you
(Please don't hurt me please)
That's why I need a father in you
(Oh that's why I really need you)
That's why I need a father in you
(Please be true)

Whoa things got bad to the point
where mummy couldn't hold us down
And that's when it hurt me so much to see her
(To see her cry)
oh don't cry mum don't cry mum
(Each and every night)
We're gunna be alright
That's what I used to say
(I said that's okay)
That I would try to take his place
(But it was too hard) it was so hard
Trying to be a man not a woman

(And that's why I need the father in you)
Id put my trust in you babe
(That's why I need a father in you)
Please don't let me down
(That's why I need a father in you)
woah I-I-I I need the father
in you babe hold my hand
(That's why I need the father in you)

Because we never had one at home
No no no no
As a little girl
So I understand why daddy couldn't be there
Coz it's so obvious no body
taught him how to be a father either
I'm not saying this to reminisce
on the past I'm just saying this
to make you understand that I need a father.
And this is my problem this is why
I couldn't keep no one this is why
I couldn't stay alone I was so scared alone
everyone needs daddy n I don't think
she understands coz she really need a father
the father in you my friend

She really needed a father,
the father in you
When your wife is speaking
fellas pay attention yeh
Don't ignore her
Oooooooooooooooooohhh
I really need the father in you

Ohh, what we gonna do baby?

Is it getting better
Or do you feel the same
Will it make it easier on you
Now you got someone to blame
You say

One love
One life
When it's one need
In the night
It's one love
We get to share it
It leaves you baby
If you don't care for it

Did I disappoint you?
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without

Well it's too late
Tonight
To drag the past out
Into the light

We're one
But we're not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other
One

Have you come here for forgiveness
Have you come tor raise the dead
Have you come here to play Jesus
To the lepers in your head

Did I ask too much
More than a lot
You gave me nothing
Now it's all I got
We're one
But we're not the same
We hurt each other
Then we do it again
You say

Love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love the higher law
You ask me to enter
But then you make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what you got
When all you got is hurt

One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should
One life
With each other
Sisters
Brothers

One life
But we're not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other
One

I feel so lady (I feel so lady)
When I'm with you, when i'm round you
I feel so lady (I feel so lady)
When I'm with you, when I'm round you (3x's)

I feel so lady

I...I never thought I could feel so much like a lady
It's good to have doors open for me
By a real man, who wants to hold my hand
And he's not ashamed to be out in public with me
It's the simple things that really turn me on
Like being kind, being warm to me that makes a man look strong
And that's why I don't mind spending all my time with him
I feel so ummm ummm

I feel so lady (I feel so lady)
When I'm with you when I'm round you
I feel so lady (I feel so lady)
When I'm with you when I'm round you (2x's)

I...I never was the type
To wear high heels and all that stuff but now I even wear make-up
Because you make me feel like it's alright with you
So it's alright with me
Boy you changed my mind about this whole thing
So I cross my legs and sit up straight
I can wait for our next date
And I really love the new me and its because of you she's who I want to be

I feel so lady (I feel so lady)
When I'm with you when I'm round you
I feel so lady (I feel so lady)
When I'm with you when I'm round you (2x's)

I didn't know how to be a lady
I didn't know I really had it in me
You showing me the thing that God has given
I feel so lady (3x's)
