If you''re still not convinced, I''ll tell you more
Make you forget the way you felt before (oh oh)

You can be my first and leading lady
I''m a make you happy that you waited
For me to settle down (oh oh)

I''m over all the other girls I dated
I tell you what you are

You''re my diamond girl
You''re the one I put the rock on
You''re my diamond girl
You''re the one that I quit the game for
You''re my diamond girl
You''re the one I put the rock on

Give me your heart, I''ll give you mine

Burberry overcoat, new money attitude
A playboy you would know if you read the news
I could be with any other fine girl instead of you
Night life, city light, ride roof back
She''s quite pretty nice, I''ll choose that
I be ya publisher, you could be my centerfold
Long as ya do me right, show me how I''m edible
And I''m a lead man, you could be my co-star
You been actin'' like your minds right so far
And you the type that enjoy the best
The 4 star suites, ice, big toys and jets (for real)
Let me show you how it''s'' supposed to feel
Mommy take them shoes off, let''s close the deal
Cause sunny, you reached the top, stop social climbing
If my record don''t sell, we''ll still go diamond

You''re my diamond girl
You''re the one I put the rock on
You''re my diamond girl
You''re the one that I quit the game for
You''re my diamond girl
You''re the one I put the rock on
You''re my diamond girl
You''re the reason I quit the game for (hey!)

[Intro]
We started out as friends
Now we friends with benefits
When the freaking began
That’s the end of tha innocence
Speaking o’ innocence, baby I can remember when
I never used to call you, I was a gentleman
I, was on my cash grind
I had to make moves
And when I got mine, I came and get you
You couldn’t believe the way I flipped it
Did it that smooth
I couldn’t believe it was that easy to impress you

[Verse 1]
??? how I knew that you were the one
You were a pretty little thing, had all the fun
I been to city after city, looking for love
I want you, ah
I wouldn’t spend a penny though I had all the change
You made me switch now I’m thinking another way
And outta all these other women I got to say
I want you, ah

[Bridge]
You can see it when you look around
(Yea, said, it’s obvious to everybody I’m staring at chu)
I’m so happy that I finally found
(I found someone to show my love, yea, and it’s you babe)
And I notice that your love is real
(‘cause I never found anything like this; only when I’m around you)
It’s reflected in the way I feel
(How much said though I’m sure you know)

[Chorus]
Baby you’re fly
Baby you’re fly
I love the way you walk
And the look in your eye
Maybe it’s lust
Maybe it’s me
But you can be sure I’ll give you what you need
You’re fly girl, and baby it shows
I would tell the world but they already know
Baby you’re fly
Take it from me
You can be sure I’ll give you what you need

[Verse 2]
Tonight I wanna try to engage your mind
I know you must be tired of hearing the same old line
Bout how they want you but they really ain’t saying it right
I want you, (I know you like that)
If you feeling what I’m saying then understand
I’ma stroke your body like it’s an instrument
I’ma show you why my touch is so in demand
When I touch you, uh

[Bridge]
You can see it when you look around
(Yea, said, it’s obvious to everybody I’m staring at chu)
I’m so happy that I finally found
(I found someone to show my love, yea, and it’s you babe)
And I notice that your love is real
(‘cause I never found anything like this, only when I’m around you)
It’s reflected in the way I feel
(How much said though I’m sure you know)

[Chorus]
Baby you’re fly
Baby you’re fly
I love the way you walk
And the look in your eye
Maybe it’s lust
Maybe it’s me
But you can be sure I’ll give you what you need
You’re fly girl, and baby it shows
I would tell the world but they already know
Baby you’re fly
Take it from me
You can be sure I’ll give you what you need

[Verse 3]
Lemme talk to you…
See I knew you was a dime when I met you on broadway
Told you, you was fly, you said “that’s what they all say”
I made it easy; you showed me the hard way
Even though the look in your eye was like foreplay
I got some great taste in women
I’ve had a lot but when it comes to great face, you’re winning
Very familiar, with private spots, lace the linen
It’s like a curse with a gift I’ve been given, that’s how I’m living

[Chorus x2]
Baby you’re fly
Baby you’re fly
I love the way you walk
And the look in your eye
Maybe it’s lust
Maybe it’s me
But you can be sure I’ll give you what you need
You’re fly girl, and baby it shows
I would tell the world but they already know
Baby you’re fly
Take it from me
You can be sure I’ll give you what you need

[Outro]
Tonight … uh … baby … yeah
Hey … yeah … uh … rock with me now

CHORUS X1

FADEOUT:Baby, you're just right for me/i'm just right for you/come and share your life with me/

Fresh like the kiss of mornig dew
That`s how it felt that day we met
And I first laid eyes on you yeah
It`s like you walked right about my fantasy
And then you left that day
Girl why did you abandon me
Baby you`ll see when you



And I wonder if you`ll ever find out
how it was supposed to be, baby
Said I wonder if you`ll ever find out
how it was supposed to be, baby



Now when I think back the days you were mine
Oh how I wish I can flip a switch
to turn back the hands of time, oh baby
You were the one that made me real
Now that you`re gone tell me
what in the world am I suppose to feel
Without you here with me



And I wonder if you`ll ever find out
how it was supposed to be, baby
Said I wonder if you`ll ever find out
how it was supposed to be, baby



Listen
Something tells me I`ve been wrong
Of the love I felt that you should have given
Never thought you would leave me on my own
But I see that it`s over
And I hope one day you`re mine



And I wonder if you`ll ever find out
how it was supposed to be, baby
Said I wonder if you`ll ever find out
how it was supposed to be, baby

And I wonder if you`ll ever find out
how it was supposed to be, baby
Said I wonder if you`ll ever find out yeah
how it was supposed to be, baby

uh...
yeah yeah yeah...

yeah!

R . Les

You made a difference in my life
it happened at the moment when I saw your face
It must have been somethin' in your eyes
that made it easy like a sunday...
It's not hard to understand
Cause anyone who see'S you feels the same way...uh!
And so I had to take the chance
To let you know u're so amazing

I-R-I-N-A !
said I might not speak your language
but I know just what to say baby
I-R-I-N-A !
oooh I wanna see you everyday

I wanna get to know you
to see what makes you laugh
I wanna be ur future, forget about ur past
I wanna make u happy by just beeing myself
Cause I can't be nobody else


I-R-I-N-A !
said I might not speak your language
but I know just what to say baby
I-R-I-N-A !
oooh I wanna see you everyday

la la la la
sometimes words they just get in the way
so I say

sometimes the words get in the way
they get in the way so!

INTRO:
I light a candle for you tonight (yeah)

Said I reminisce over you babe
Reminisce over you (yeah)

V1:
Listen, I shoulda spent more time
Been a part of your life
And made you more a part of mine, guess it's too late now
Shoulda been a better friend
Ain't done my best to understand you
Still it's hard to think that we're done, we're through

CHORUS:
What would you do
Tell me, if I left you out of the blue
Would you fight back tears while your heart gets torn to pieces
Cause that's what I did when you, left me (when you left me out of the blue)
Love can feel so good and then suddenly it's over, yeah

V2:
I shoulda been more true
Takin better care of you
Like I was supposed to
Guess it's too late now
Shoulda told you how I felt
Instead of thinking of myself
Still I can't believe you went away so soon

CHORUS:
Now, what would you do (you do)
If I left you out of the blue
Would you fight back tears while your heart gets torn to pieces
Cause that's what I did when you (when you left me) when you left me out of the blue
It's funny how love feels good then suddenly it's over

BRIDGE:
Now when I ask myself it's hard to see (hey)
How you could be anywhere but here with me
You said that you needed space and time (hey)
So you would be able to make up your mind
You said if I set you free (hey)
One day you'll be ready to come back to me (yeah)
Did you really mean it (I hope you did)
Hope you meant it baby

CHORUS:
What would you do (what would you do)
If I left you out of the blue (if I left you out of the blue)
Would you loose your mind and go crazy (cause I)
I almost died when you left me baby (when you left me out of the blue)
Love can feel so good and then suddenly it's over

OUTRO:
So what would you do (what would you do)
If out of the blue I just left you (If I left you out of the blue)
Would it make you cry
Keep you awake at night
Would it leave your heart sick and lonely
Cause that's what you did baby (when you)
When you left me out of the blue
It's funny how love feels so good and then suddenly it's over

That's right, I light a candle for you tonight babe
Yes I will, yes I will
Cause I'm missing you
So I light candle for you baby
For us, for me and you

La, la, la, la...
Repeat: 5x

R. Les

V1:
Listen, it was just infatuation, yeah/and I know I shoulda said something/cause you gave up your relations, yeah/so you can have me for your own/ooh, after quite some time/you've gotten restless babe/said you wanted more from me (let me talk about it)/I didn't know what to do/I just turned away/when you look me in the eyes and say.

Chorus:
This is crazy/I shouldn't have to wait (that's what you told me)/I shouldn't have to wait for you/I shouldn't have to wait for your love, no, no/let me save it/I shouldn't have to wait/I shouldn't have to wait for you/I shouldn't have to wait for your love.

V2:
Huh, couldn't see what I was losing, yeah/ what I said I couldn't say that night, huh/and it must have been confusing, yeah/can't imagine what was on your mind/when you began to cry/ooh, after quite some time/you've gotten restless babe/said you wanted more from me/I didn't know what to do/I just looked away/when you turned to me and you said you're sick of waitin.

Bridge:
Oh, I'm not trying be tough/I know what you need and I know I'm not the one/baby trust me/I know I'm not the one to take good care of you/ooh, it's gotta be rough/said I know it tears you up inside/knowing that I can't give you what you need/and I know it's crazy.

Chorus: 2x
