Girl I know this might seem strange
But let me know if I'm out of order
For stepping to you this way
See I've been watching you for a while
And I just gotta let you know
That I'm really feeling your style
Cause I have to know your name
And leave you with my number
And I hope that you would call me someday
If you want you can give me yours too
And if you don't I ain't mad at'ch you
We can still be cool cause

1 - I'm not trying to pressure you
Just can't stop thinkin' 'bout you
You ain't even really gotta be my girlfriend
I just wanna know your name
And maybe some time
We can hook up, hang out, just chill

Damn I'm surprised that you called
Cause the way you walked away
I thought I wasn't gon see you no more
Since you didn't wanna give me your math
I thought that you were iggin' me
And wasn't diggin' me
But anyway what you doing tonight
I'll probably be with my peeps
If it's cool with you maybe we'll swing by
And you can just chill with us
Or you can just chill with me
As long as you're comfortable
And you feel secure when your with me cause

Repeat 1

Oh, oh, baby yeah
Maybe we can oh
Go and see a movie girl
Or maybe we can hang out girl
Whatever you wanna do
Just let me know
It's up to you

Repeat 1 (2x)

how many times have I called you
while you were working just to say
left messages on your answer machine
about three or four times a day
there aren't many more ways
in words that I can say
so I'll just say it numerically
from my heart to you 143

so many times i've bought roses
just to see that smile on your face
I can't remember
how many emails i sent you
just to tell you bout my day
there aren't many more ways
in words that I can say
so I'll just say it numerically
from my soul to you 143
girl you know
you are so special to me
and you deserve to be
treated exclusively
I treat you like
valentine's day 365 a year
make sure that everything
you need will always be right there
and i just refuse to be
your typical ordinary
run of the mill garden variety lover

I'll make sure everyday
you life will be like christmas eve
I wanna make you feel
fine just like a summer breeze
cause I just refuse to be
your predictable average
run of the mill garden variety lover

see sometimes words
may get in the way
of the things that you really
really mean to say
so I wanna take out this time
to make sure that
how I really feel
get's through to you
cause listen
there aren't many more ways
in words that I can say
so I chose to tell you how
I feel in a numerical way
got so tired of trying
to find the most complicated ways
of sayin it to you
so I simplified it
broke it down to 143 and
that means i love you

girl i feel you think that you may not be
the kind of a girl that everybody
looks for now a days
but i just gotta say
that it doesn't really matter to me

cuz in your eyes i can see
the sky's and all of heaven
and your my angel
oh yea

and i just wish that the world could witness
all the joy that you make me feel
cuz when im with you
i couldn't even see myself being nothing with another women
cuz when im with you nothing else matters
i aint even thinking about no body else

know when im with you
i couldn't even see myself being nothing with another women
cuz when im with you nothing else matters
i aint even thinking about no body else

don't you ever
ever think that your not beautiful
cuz ill always be the one to tell you so
looking back back on love and all the things that ive been through
i feel gods prescience when im with you

cuz in your eyes i can see the skies
and all of heaven
and your my angel
oh yea
and i just wish that the world could witness
all the joy that you make me feel
baby when im with you

i couldnt even see myself being nothing with another women
cuz when im with you nothing else matters
i aint even thinking about no body else

know when im with you
i couldnt even see myself being nothing with another women
cuz when im with you nothing else matters
i aint even thinking about no body else

Verse 1:
Love
So many things I've got to tell you
But I'm afraid I don't know how

From then on I knew that by you being in my life
Things were destined to change cause......

Maybe my mind is playing
tricks on me but I couldve sworn
That the kiss that was meant
truly for me is leaving me torn
How can love be so kind and so
gentle and turn and be so cold
Why must my arms feel so empty
for what my heart still holds
Mary how could you go
Around and hurt me so
Ive tried so hard to please you baby
But I just can't seem to baby
Mary how could you go
Around and hurt me so
Ive tried so hard to please you baby
But I just can't seem to baby
Was there something I couldve
done to change this outcome here
As if I blinked my eyes and
suddenly she up and disappeared
How can love escape your grasp
without you ever letting go
And until she returns to my OFFER
I may never know
Mary how could you go
Around and hurt me so
Ive tried so hard to please you baby
But I just can't seem to baby
Mary how could you go
Around and hurt me so
Ive tried so hard to please you baby
But I just can't seem to baby

Cats been comin' up and askin' how did I get to be where I'm at
With my whole style
And got the nerve to ask would I change anything about it
Say it's too clean or too crowded
But see that's just the thing
Cause that's something that I don't worry myself too much about
Cause I'm gonna do it the way that I've been doin' it
Since the first day that I start doin' it
Maybe fine tune it just a little but just enough
Cause' I don't wanna up and ruin it
I take this thing too seriously
My style is the point of me
But see cats just don't get it
Cause just always gotta find a label or some kind of category
Sayin' yo this kid gotta be this
And he gotta be that
And he gotta be whatever
Yo I just gotta be whatever you want and need me to be to
Make your life better
m, u, s, i, q, s, o, u, l, c, h, i, l, d
That's my name
Shit what
That's me

last night you said you
wanted to talk to me
but i was at work and you know
how my job could be
then you said that
it could wait until later
cause it wasn't really
all that important
I guess we can talk
when you get home
so now you got me thinking
about all the things that
I've done and wondering if
I did something wrong
then again it didn't really
sound as if you were mad
could've been something
you were just afraid to ask me
if there's anything you want
you need
don't be afraid to ask cause
you're my girl
if there's anything you want
you need
don't be afraid to ask cause
you're my girl

girl don't you know my whole
world stops for you
in this relationship
you're first and I come two
and I appreciate how you
respect my space
but on the real
I'm there for you anytime of day
you should never start to wonder
where you stand
cause each and every day I live
I'm going to show you that
I'm your man
if there's anything you want
you need
don't be afraid to ask cause
you're my girl
if there's anything you want
you need
don't be afraid to ask cause
you're my girl
if there's anything you want
you need
don't be afraid to ask cause
you're my girl

if there's anything you want
you need
don't be afraid to ask cause
you're my girl
if there's anything you want
you need
don't be afraid to ask cause
you're my girl
if there's anything you want
you need
don't be afraid to ask cause
you're my girl

Verse 1: Before you go can we just talk a moment We shouldn't end it like this Can we just chill for awhile I know that recently we've been fussing and fighting Put your bags down, just try to hear me out And I know that you're tired of me But if you leave this is how I'll be Picture me Down and out, lost without you Hook: Picture me And so lost and lonely Picture me Broken hearted You don't want to go As much as I want you stay Verse 2: And I'm not just about to let it all slip away And what about the tears that we've shared Cause I built my whole life around you And all the things that we said We're they all just in vain Girl if you bounce on me What I used to be is just a memory This is how I'll be Hook: Verse 3: (TALK) I know that I ***** up alright And I'm sorry, I'm really sorry I mean but I got issues You got issues, every body got issues We're human ya mean So what you want me to do about that I mean cause (Sings) I can tell a bunch of lies And make like everything is alright Deceiving you and misleading you But I know deep down inside that I'll be And I don't want to so can we just try Try this one last time Let's give it one more chance Before you say good-bye Ad-lib til fade: Can you picture me girl Not wanting to sleep no more Not wanting to eat no more Cuz I need ya I got to have you...... Only wanna be with you

[Verse 1]
See we both shared a crowded room
Not formally introduced
But I've been watching her watching me all night
And then she disappeared for a few
Must have got herself a drink or two
To work up a nerve to come and say hi
She politely spoke her name
Like a gentleman I did the same
And she sat down and we talked for a moment, yeah
She told me she'd be pleased to be
The lucky lady leaving with me
That sounds nice but I'd hate to hurt my woman

[Chorus]
So what, so what, it's all love, it's all love, show love
That's what she said to me, yeah
It's alright, it's alright, goodbye, goodbye
But for now you gotta live for the moment

[Verse 2]
Now what I look like deceiving my lady
The future mother of my babies
And lose a love that took years to build
To do that I must be crazy
And right now I don't feel crazy
Even though you're killing me with your sex appeal
And on the real she may never know
But the problem is I'll know
But how can I look into my baby's eyes
Now it just might be cool for some
But I refuse to be the one
To let a moment ruin my life

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
I must admit you look remarkable
But my woman puts you to shame
Cause what we have is more than physical, yeah
More like spiritual souls intertwining.
Intertwining like a braid.

[Chorus]

Your love means the world to me
Words could not express the joy you bring
Your love moves me tenderly
To have you by my side means everything.. I sing
Your love has the best of me
If I could give you more then that would be...

Settle for my love, settle for my kiss
Settle for my love, that you'll never miss

So give to me, darling take my hand
Settle for my kiss
Cause it's all I can give
Settle for my love, that you'll never miss

Your love means the world to me
Like the ocean wide your love runs deep
Your love.. oh baby.. moves me tenderly
Like the birds outside my window sing

Settle for my love, settle for my kiss

[repeat with adlibs to end]

Five foot seven with
light green eyes
Body built like a woman over
twenty five
Plus she push the whip that
the average women couldn't get
Less she worked about two nine
to five's Girly played the game
just a little too mature
She damn near had everything
I was looking for
But things seemed shady
When I asked my lady to meet
at the club
She had trouble at the door
That's when I found out that
She was only seventeen years old
And I couldn't see her no more
I ain't tryin to see myself locked up
For knockin up some young joan
How could I explain this
situation to my family
And all of my boys I'm sorry shorty
But you've got to get gone Yeah
I tried to cut her off
But she wasn't having it
She kept telling me her age
didn't mean sh And that's when
she started to cry
Baby I need you in my life
And without you
I just couldn't handle it
So what's a brother to do
Either way I lose
I could just say my piece
Or piss off her peace And talk
it out with the boys in blue
Cause when it comes down to it
She was just seventeen years old
And I was dead wrong from the door
I ain't tryin to see myself
locked up For knockin up some
young joan How could I explain
this situation to my family
And all of my boys
I'm sorry shorty
But you've got to get gone Yeah

I never thought on the first night
You would bare what you hold so
dear to life
And share with me
all your innermost fantasies baby
And after wards in my arms you cried
Had me feeling some
kind of way on the inside
Then I knew
it was going to be me and you
So if the world was to believe
that what we share
weren't meant to be
Then it would be just
you and me against the world
And if our friends and family
Can't bear to see us both happy
Then it will be just
you and me against the world
Now I'm not the kind
that kiss and tell
But my man said
that he really knows you well
But I don't care cause I wanna
know you form my damn self
And even if my sister said you
scandalous
Said that you're known to go from one
man to the next
But I don't care what she say
Cause you're going to
forever be my lady
So if the world was to believe
that what we share
weren't meant to be
Then it would be just
you and me against the world
And if our friends and family
Can't bear to see us both happy
Then it will be just
you and me against the world
I wouldn't care
if you were a prostitute
And that you hit every man
that you ever knew
You see it wouldn't make a difference
if that was way before me and you
And you don't ever have to
worry about me
As long as you keep it real
Whatever is on your mind
You speak on how you feel
Stay truthful to me
Never lie to me
And don't ever keep no secrets
No matter whatever whatever no
Girl you know what I mean
They could say what they want
But it will never change my views
Cause they'll never know you the
way that I know you
See I'm trying to share the
rest of my whole life with you
And if we got to be alone
so be it baby
If they can't understand our love
Then we don't need them baby
So if the world was to believe
that what we share
weren't meant to be
Then it would be just
you and me against the world
And if our friends and family
Can't bear to see us both happy
Then it will be just
you and me against the world
So if the world was to believe
that what we share
weren't meant to be
Then it would be just
you and me against the world
And if our friends and family
Can't bear to see us both happy
Then it will be just
you and me against the world
So if the world was to believe
that what we share
weren't meant to be
Then it would be just
you and me against the world
And if our friends and family
Can't bear to see us both happy
Then it will be just
you and me against the world

Verse 1: Within their days for that place So many people are on a search to find Within their minds to hide And dump the load of this worldly life And the things that it can make you feel and do Just to pass away your time Chorus: Cause if you just hold on Be strong (you) But you be alright You be alright Yes you will (yeah) Verse 2: To think to themselves that they're the only ones Going through more things than anyone else People have a tendency But oh, I bet you'll beg to differ If you would just consider the bigger picture Cause then you would see that most people go through The same things that you do in life Chorus: But you be alright You surely can make it Cause if you can take it You be alright (yeah) Bridge: Just take a good look around People that you see cause Look at the things and all the people We share a joy, we share a pain Ohh, were all the same So it doesn't matter at all Chorus: But you be alright Cause if you can take it You surely can make it You be alright (yeah) Bridge: Don't think that you're the only one Cause you be alright See I know things look real hard now It's gonna work out somehow Problems may come problems may go Just as long as you know Chorus: But you be alright Cause if you can take it You surely can make it You be alright (yeah)

I am a victim of my time
A product of my age
There's no choosing my direction
I was a holy man but now
With all my trials behind me
I am weak in my conviction

And so I walk to try to get away
Knowing that someday I will finally have to face
The fear that will come from knowing that
The one thing I had left was you
And now you're gone

You were a victim of my crimes
A product of my rage
You were a beautiful distraction
I kept you locked away outside
Let misery provide
And now I am ashamed

And so I walk to try to find a space
Where I can be alone to live with my mistakes
And the fear that will come
From knowing that the one thing
I had left was you
And now you're gone

Chorus:
Is there nothing at all
That I can do to turn your heart
Is there nothing to lean on
That could help erase the scars
Te quiero - me quiero
And I could use a little strength before I fall
Is there nothing at all

I am victim of my time
A product of the age
You alone are my obsession
You were the one I left behind
You've been heavy on my mind
It's been a lonely road I've traveled

And so I walk to try to get away
Knowing that someday I will finally have to face
The fear that will come from knowing that
The one thing I had left was you
And now you're gone

Chorus:
Is there nothing at all
That I can do to turn your heart
Is there nothing to lean on
That could help erase the scars
Te quiero - me quiero
And I could use a little strength before I fall
Is there nothing at all

So fine baby smells

Now a days I don't understand
Why my love doesn't love me like she used to before
Now lately the sun jus doesn't shine and my paradise is gone

Cause most of the time
We argue and fight
Over things that doesn't really matter
Lord knows that I tried
To give all my love
So what should I do?

You got to understand
it's all about give and take
You can't be so demanding
Things won't always go your way
If you just give it time
And think about her feelings
Then things will work out fine
Learn to make her your best friend

I hear what you saying but my girl she's always Complaining
and blaming me for things I'll never do
And I don't know what, what it is that I did that was So wrong
to make her feel I'll ever be untrue to her

Cause most of the time
We argue and fight
(Over things that doesn't really matter)
Lord knows that I tried
To give all my love to her
(what should I do?)

You got to understand
it's all about give and take
You can't be so demanding
Things won't always go your way
If you'll just give it time
And think about her feelings
Then things will work out fine
Learn to make her your best friend

See what you need to do is stop catching attitude's
And just try to take the time to hear her out
Stop being so defensive and try to be more attentive to
Show her your respect what she's talkin 'bout
Cause you know how us women can be and
when we Feel threatened we react instinctivly
when our emotions have grown to its high
we can tend to just let it control Our lives

Now a days I don't understand
Why my love doesn't love me like she used to before
Now lately the sun jus doesn't shine and my paradise is gone

Well all right I'll try next time I'll try a little tenderness
Even make sure that I give her more complements
Maybe I could practice on being more patient
And compromise for my baby yeah yeah.

If you want her in your life
Then you got to be willing to try
See it's worth the struggle
Cause in the end she will always
Be your best friend yeah. (x2)

Just the other day my man mentioned your name
And asked me what was up with you
(What's going on girl?)
And I never thought in my wildest dreams
That I'd be bumping into you
(Like this, like this)

You're still glowing like a ray of light
Gotta a little thicker in your hips and thigh
I must say you look fine, so fine
Maybe someday we'll share sometime
That's if you don't mind

If I would've knew
The girl next door would've been you
I would've been nice to you and kind to you
Would've shared my world
'Cause by now we'd be in love, yeah

If I would've knew
The girl next door would've been you
I would've been nice to you and kind to you
Would've shared my world
'Cause by now we'd be in love, yeah

Just the other day my girl mentioned your name
And asked me what was up with you
(So what's been up with you?)
And I never thought I'd see you again
Ever since I heard you move
([Incomprehensible])

Yes, they're rolling like a paradise
Plus I had a crush on you since junior high
I can't forget, you looked fly, so fly
Just let me know the day in time
When things will be alright

'Cause if I would've knew
The boy next door would've been you
I would've been nice to you and kind to you
Would've shared my world
'Cause now by now we'd be in love, yeah, yeah

If I would've knew
The boy next door would've been you
I would've been nice to you and kind to you
Would've shared my world
'Cause by now we'd be in love, yeah, yeah

I'm kinda glad that I had a chance to see you again
So before we bounce, I hope that, huh
We can be more than just friends

Without a doubt I'm sure
That you and I can work something out
So here's the number to the crib
Why don't you call me tonight

If I would've knew
The girl next door would've been you
I would've been nice to you and kind to you
Would've shared my world
'Cause by now we'd be in love, yeah

If I would've knew
The boy next door would've been you
I would've been nice to you and kind to you
Would've shared my world
'Cause by now we'd be in love, yeah, yeah

If I would've knew
The girl next door would have been you
I would've been nice to you and kind to you
Would've shared my world
'Cause by now we'd be in love, yeah

If I would've knew
The boy next door would've been you

[Chorus]
Mother-Father before I forget
Thank you for all that you have been to me
And just in case you are wondering I love you

[Verse 1]
I know that our difference caused
Us to waste so much of our time we could have used
Getting to know each and one another
But now that I've grown into my own
And learned some things about life
I now can see that it wasn't easy to raise someone like me

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
I remember those days when you used to sit me down
And try to school me about the plenty opportunities in life
Hoping and wishing and praying that something would stick
And somehow click within this mind of mine
See you used to say, if you throw enough on the wall
Something is bound to rub off
And I'm here to tell you
That you don't have to really worry about me at all

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Listen now
There was no limit to all the things that you've done
And would have for me my sisters and brothers
And I'll never understand how you would talk all day long
And just as you said, in one ear and out the other
Isn't it funny how things change when you get older?
Now I know that I'll never find another
Love like yours inside anyone else

[Chorus (repeat 4x)]

I had before so tell me why you ignore.

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Now I don't know (I don't know)
What them young boys did (what them young boys did)
To make you insecure, but I think you need to let it go

I put in to much time for another's brother's crimes.

I know this girl from way back
sometime ago
Fine as the autumn sun
with a heart of gold yeah
One day we talked about some
men in her past
Cause I was just
trying to understand
Why it's always like
always tried to hide
What it is she feels
or what's on her mind
When it comes to love
She gets so afraid
that someone will come
And hurt her again someday
All of her life never had
Someone show her what it means
To have or be in real love
She never had a man who
was kind to her
Never told her I love you
without getting hurt no
Some people say she's bitter
some think she's scared
Some people say
she thinks nobody cares
Now she walks around
and protects her heart
Never looks for love
Lives behind a wall
Tell it to herself
all men are all the same
Cause that's how it is
And that is such a shame
All of her life she never had
Someone show her what it means
To have or be in real love

don't you be afraid
a be don't know why
I just wanna be don't want else
you need because all your love

yeah need me don't have
all be in real real love

One Sunday morning
I woke up with you on my mind
yeah cuz I knew
later on I'd see you
in your glory
looking so fine
Now I could be a little forward
and do things to show
you how I feel
But I don't want to be
disrespectful
so I just be waiting
for the day you gotta try to
with your kiss
The more I get to know you
I hope and pray to everyday do
whatever's righteous and true
Cuz your love is so religious
And Babygirl don't you know
I worship the ground
that you walk on
live by your every word
cuz your love is so religious
I wanna thank your father
for making you on that day
And give blessings to your mother
for raising you so heavenly
Now in my heart
I know for certain
without an ounce of doubt
in my mind
That I preach a whole
entire sermon
yeah just to testify on the
goodness of your love
The more I get to know you
I hope and pray to everyday do
whatever's righteous and true
Cuz your love is so religious
And Babygirl don't you know
I worship the ground
that you walk on live by your

[Verse 1]
See we both shared a crowded room
Not formally introduced
But I've been watching her watching me all night
And then she disappeared for a few
Must have got herself a drink or two
To work up a nerve to come and say hi
She politely spoke her name
Like a gentleman I did the same
And she sat down and we talked for a moment, yeah
She told me she'd be pleased to be
The lucky lady leaving with me
That sounds nice but I'd hate to hurt my woman

[Chorus]
So what, so what, it's all love, it's all love, show love
That's what she said to me, yeah
It's alright, it's alright, goodbye, goodbye
But for now you gotta live for the moment

[Verse 2]
Now what I look like deceiving my lady
The future mother of my babies
And lose a love that took years to build
To do that I must be crazy
And right now I don't feel crazy
Even though you're killing me with your sex appeal
And on the real she may never know
But the problem is I'll know
But how can I look into my baby's eyes
Now it just might be cool for some
But I refuse to be the one
To let a moment ruin my life

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
I must admit you look remarkable
But my woman puts you to shame
Cause what we have is more than physical, yeah
More like spiritual souls intertwining.
Intertwining like a braid.

[Chorus]

See we both shared a crowded room
Not formally introduced

Something in the way she moves
Attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way
she moves me
I don't wanna leave her now
You know I believe in how
Somewhere in her smile she knows
That I don't need no other lover
no
Something in her style
that shows me yeah
I don't wanna leave her now
You know I believe in how yeah
You asking me will our love grow
I don't know I don't know
no I don't know no
You stick around and it may show
Cause I don't know I don't know

Something in the way she knows
And all I have to do
is think of her yeah
Something in the things
she shows me
I don't wanna leave her now
You know I believe in how
yeah yeah

Listen
something in the way she moves
Something in the way
that she moves me
Somewhere in her smile
that she knows
Something in her style
that it shows me
Something in the way
that she moves me
Something in the things
that she shows me
Something

We've been chilling together for a while
And I'm finding it hard to figure you out
See cause I can't tell if you wanna be
My girl or just cool.
First you catch an attitude when my phone
goes off
Sometimes you act like you don't care at all
Things that you say and do leaves me so
confused
When you know I'm feeling you!

*Won't you quit playing baby
Why you gon front
Won't you just say it
Say what you really want.
If you ain't wit it, just stop
Leading me on, on, on, on, on, on, on!!!

I don't mean to pressure you baby
But you really need to make up your mind
Let me know what you really want
Stop wasting, wasting my time
Cause on the real (the real) real (for real)
I could be out and find someone who's
Down wit what I'm about
Instead I'm waiting on you to decide if
I'm the one that you want in your life

*Repeat(x3)

Hey baby tell me why must you treat me this
way
How about you come on and stop playing these
games
Let me know what it is you really wanna do
So I can know how I should feel when I'm
dealing with you

I'd like to take
a minute to apologize
For not taking advantage of you
Through all the years
you've passed me by Honestly
I really wanted to be
mad at you yes
For so many hours waiting yeah
I finally know what it means
to be patient
And everything
has its place yeah
And reason and I've learned that
Time waits for nothing
And everything is gonna take
its time for it to happen
Time waits for nothing
And everything
is gonna take its time
Time waits for nothing
and no one
Cause everything has its time
I used to think that if I tried
Then maybe I
could change the things that
I regretted in my past life
But through all the lessons
that you taught me
I have learned my experiences
enhanced my character yes
Now as I look back with what
I know now I can say
that I wouldn't change a thing
Cause I love who I became yeah
And when it's all said and done
I can only live for today
Cause I've learned that
Time waits for nothing
And everything is gonna take
its time for it to happen
Time waits for nothing
And everything
is gonna take its time
Time waits for nothing
and no one
Cause everything has its time
I used to find it hard to believe
And almost impossible
to conceive yeah
Everything I do
revolves around you
And knowing that its
kind crazy to me
Now if I had a dollar
for every moment
That I spent
watching my days go by
Doing doing doing nothing
I probably never be
penniless or hopeless

So for a while now
I've kept in mind
Cause what they say is true
That you are of the essence
Down to the very last second
And I'm so glad that
I've grown to
Respect you
Time waits for nothing
And everything is gonna take
its time
Time waits for nothing
And everything
is gonna take its time
Time waits for nothing
And everything
is gonna take its time
Time waits for nothing
And everything
is gonna take its time

The children Need something With more substance And more meaning A message, intended To leave them with something much more to believe in Now it's cool for us to say All the things we say and do All the things we do to express ourselves But we should, try to find a way To bring balance, to this hate and Leave a good impression on someone else Chorus (Cause in our world) There isn't much love goin' around (Isn't enough love goin' around) We should try to, give a little bit more (Yeah, in our world) Their isn't much love goin' around (We should try) We should try to give a little bit more Now lovers Of this music Shouldn't get so caught up, in all of the rumors and lies We're the same as you We got feelings too And you know we're human Just trying to live our lives There will come a day when the world is gonna change And, things will be much better than, how they are Where, happiness is the way, and Joy out weights the pain, and Oh, how I prayed to God that day isn't far Chorus All we want in this world We can have, thru love All we need, in this world We can get with love All we got, in this world We can keep thru love All we got to do is just, give a little more love In this world Chorus

It's kinda funny how we met back When you walked down the hall where I worked at A caramel shorty with fat a** I spoke, you spoke we spoke and that's that Now ain't it funny how fate play Cause I saw you at the club down on Market street And hollered like waht's up girl You said nothing man, and you smiled and went on your way Like you didn't even notice me And really like you didn't even want to speak But that's cool, cause now it's almost like everyday I'm going off the things you do things you say It seems like our lives have been syndicated But my minds bout the music, we can both make it Who would have thought that we'd go from a straight ignore To talking bout who wants who more Just let me tell Chorus (Girl) Baby baby baby (I want you) Baby baby baby Do you really want me girl (do you want me) Do you really want me Like I really want you Check it out how it transpired We went from a spark to raging fire Down like a car with 4 flat tires She my superstar, I'd be the shine behind her (ya mean) She got a n***a wide open Shook like a tree when the wind is blowing She my missy and I'm her timbaland she rock my planet like Zuh zuh zuh zuh zuh zuh zuh zuh zuh My mans and them said get it in Cause I do that, never been a rude cat I play fair so we go tic for tack till the blackness bares First reaction was weird but it still was nice so good that we did it twice I'm saying in the beginning She was scared but it still was nice So good that we did it twice I'm telling you Chorus All all girl all I all that I need I need is you All that I want and need is you Chorus

I've been holding out so long
I've been sleeping all alone
Girl I miss you
I've been hanging on the phone
I've been sleeping all alone
I want to kiss you

Well I've been haunted in my sleep
You've been starring in my dreams
Girl I miss you
I've been waiting in the hall
Been waiting on your call
When the phones ring
It's just some friends
of mine that say
Hey what's the matter man
We're gonna come around at twelve
With some pretty girls
that are just dyin to meet you
We're gonna bring a case of wine
Hey let's go mess and fool around
You know like we used to

Tell me why
Oh everybody waits so long
tell me why you wait so long
baby tell me why you wait so long
Won't you just come on Come on

I've been walking in Central Park
Singing after dark
People think I'm crazy
I've been stumbling on my feet
Shuffling through the street
Asking people
What's the matter with you boy
Sometimes I want to say to myself
Sometimes I wanna say to myself

Sometimes I want to say
I won't miss you girl
But then again I guess
I'll just be lying to myself
It's just you baby and no one else
I won't miss you girl
Cause you been messing up my mind
And you been wasting all my time

Lord I won't miss you baby

Have you ever had a day when
Nothing goes your way
All you do seems to be in vain
And everthing is just a waste of your time

Chorus

But have you ever had that moment in life
When everything is cool (yeah)
Didn't have to worry about the time
It all went as it should
And you were having the greatest moment in life (yeah)
Don't you worry about the past cause
It's gonna be what it is
All that you can do is try to
Make you future beautiful
And let it be the greatest moment in life

I remember almost ebery December when we where critters
And mama said that there was only one thing she could get us
When God must have been with us
Cause it is heavenly joy
When you make up Chirstmas morning to every toy
Then there's the birth of my boy
Here to inherit the rhythm
And when I see it in Him I ask myself what more can I give Him
Adn I would love to but I can't spend every moment Him
It's just thoes big ole eyes that encourage me to keep living
Hey, ohh when I'm singing I'm sharing,
or rhymimg I'm shining my light
And although the love is so blinding I still end up finding my wife
All I can do is reminisce cause there is no rewinding my life
But the future so bright that it's almost blinding my sight

It's like all a sudden you life is so cool
Cause everything in it is working for you
your friends and you family are getting along
It feels like when you here your favorite song
Or when you know that you got money to spend
You never want that moment to end (repeat)
