I ran into a friend of yours the other day
And I asked her how you've been
She said my girl is fine; just bought a house, got a job, real good man
I told her I was glad for you; that's wonderful
But does she ever ask `bout me?
She said she's happy with her life right now
Let her go, let her be
And I told myself I would, but something in my heart just would not let you go
I just wanna know


What if we were wrong about each other?
What if you were really made for me?
What if we was `sposed to be together?
Would that not mean anything?
What if that was `sposed to be my house that you go home to every day?
How can you be sure that things are better?
If you can't be sure your heart is still here with me
Still wanting me

Your friend asked me if there was someone special in my life that I was seeing
I told her there was no one in particular
There's just I, myself, and me
I told her that I dream of you quite often
She just cut her eyes at me
She said you got a home, you're very happy
So just stop your meddling
I told her that I won't
I said things were cool, but I guess I was wrong
I still can't move on



Now that could be my car
That could be my house
That could be my baby boy that you're nursing
That could be the trash that I always take out
That could be the chair that I love to chill in
That could be my food on the table at the end of the day
Hugs and the kisses, all the love we make
What the hell do you expect me to say?
What if it's really `sposed to be this way?
What if you're really `sposed to be with me?

If I cried like a baby would you change your mind?
If I told you I'm crazy would you come running back to me?
The harder I try to break away, the more I get lost in yesterday
The man that you know is just a shell, living without your life is hell

I turn on the radio just to take the hurt away
Another night and I'm missing you
Girl, it's killing me, well


I don't wanna die tonight, but I think I might be going down
'Cause the only one I ever cared about is nowhere to be found
I don't wanna close my eyes 'cause I might not see the light of day
I'm almost out of air
You're my reason for breathing
You're my reason for breathing

I don't wanna go clubbing, I got no one to dance with me
I don't wanna go shopping, I got no one to spend my money on
Spending my time with one glass of wine
Playing solitaire just to ease my mind
Poured one for you, but I drank that too
Anything to kill the pain of losing you

I turn on the radio just to take the hurt away
Another night and I'm missing you
Girl, it's killing me



So I'm reaching out on this distant line
Hoping deep inside your heart's gonna find a reason
To keep me breathing
But I'm lost in this pain and I don't have much time
I'm so tired of walking this same old line
So I'm taking my pride, gonna throw it aside
Please let me breathe girl, I'm sorry



Baby girl, don't leave me standing here
I'm barely breathing, girl, I'm running out of air
Baby girl, don't leave me standing here
I'm barely breathing, girl, I'm running out of air

When this world
The real life world you're living in
Just gets too much for you to take
When you find
Too many troubles on your mind
And feel just like there's no escape

And it seems your heart's forgotten how to believe
Turn a page in your soul
There's a place you can go
Close your eyes and let your heart fly free

Dream away, dream away
Let imagination light your way
Take you as far as your heart can see
Dream away, dream away
To a place where hope is shining
Find your silver lining
Everything you need is just a dream away

Remember when
A dream could take you anywhere
Just a wish anything could be
When the farthest star was one more star you could reach
Take a look in your heart
'Cause that's where dreams are where it starts
Anything is real if you just believe



All it takes is faith to make your dreams come true
And somewhere in this world there'll be somebody
To share your dreams with you

You're riding in my car
I turn on the radio
I'm pulling you closer
But you keep tellin' me no
You say you don't like it
But I know you're a liar
'Cause when we kiss
Ooh...

Fire

Late at night
You're taking me home
You say you wanna stay
But I want you to go
Say I don't love you
But you know I'm a liar
'Cause when we kiss
Ooh...

Fire

You had a hold on me right from the start
A grip so tight I couldn't tear it apart
My nerves all jumpin' actin' like a fool
Well my kisses might burn
But my heart stays cool

Well Romeo and Juliet
Sampson and Delilah
Baby you can bet
They were burnin' with desire
If I say split
Then I know that I'd be lying
'Cause when we kiss
Ooh...

Fire

When we kiss
I'm on fire
Your tenderness
Gives me desire
I can't resist
Your tender lips
When we kiss
Ooh...

Fire

When we kiss
I'm on fire
Your tenderness
Gives me desire
I can't resist
Your tender lips
When we kiss
Ooh...

Fire

Your love's so exciting
Boy I can't deny it
Since you found a place in my heart
Givin' me a feeling
Ooh it's such a feeling
I pray that we never will part
How can I explain it
Please hear what I'm sayin'
You bring so much so much joy to my life
Words cannot express
So much happiness
I'll forever be by your side

And I will give you my heart
And I will always be true to you
And I will love you forever

If I could just make love to you
Make love to you
Girl I must confess it
You've been such a blessing
Never felt so good in my life
You know how to take it
I know how to give it
We both always have a good time
I hear what you're sayin'
Lord knows you ain't playin'
Ain't no doubt that I'm satisfied
And I'll keep it comin'
Keep bringin' the lovin'
So baby bring your lovin'
Every morning, noon, and night



Oh give me just a minute and
I'll jump right on in it
We can make love under the stars
All year pleasure pleasure
I'll be yours forever
Girl, I'll never leave now
I'll be there to please you
We won't have to worry at all



I will go all the way down
I'll make it feel so good
I wanna do you right
If I could just make love to you

Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Let your heart be light
From now on,
our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Make the Yule-tide gay,
From now on,
our troubles will be miles away.

Here we are as in olden days,
happy golden days of yore.
Faithful friends who are dear to us
gather near to us once more.

Through the years we all will be together
If the Fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough.
And have yourself a merry little Christmas
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Have yourself a merry little Christmas now

Oh how I need you honey
Oh how you bring me joy
Fulfill my life
Oh much I need you
Oh how I need you honey
Oh how you bring my joy
Fulfill my life
Oh I need you, yes I do

You came to me, like words to a melody
For love, just for you and me
Now you're in my life, I feel no more strife
'Cause with you I'm happy



Your sweet and tender touch
How it means so much
When it's coming from your heart
From your heart, from your heart
Oh ordinary won't do, I'm so glad
I found someone like you 'Cause with you I'm happy

Oh how I need you honey
Oh how you bring me joy
Fulfill my life
Oh much I need you
Oh how I need you honey
Like the flowers that need the sun
Like the grass that needs the rain
Oh I need you, yes I do
I do

If a picture paints a thousand words
Then why can't I paint you
The words will never show
The you I've come to know
If a face could launch a thousand ships
Then where am I to go
There's no one home but you
You're all that's led me to

And when my love for life is running dry
You come and pour yourself for me

If a man could be two places at one time
I'd be with you
Tomorrow and today
Beside you all the way
If the world should stop revolving
Spinning slowly down tonight
I'd spend the end with you
And when the world was due

Then one by one the stars would all go out
Then you and I would simply fly away

Deep in the heart
Love has many ways
Of touching your emotions
Taking control of you
And even in thought
Love can make you change
There's no way of controlling love
When it's part of you

Well you could be a married man
With two kids and a good woman
And you could give your heart and soul
I swear it don't mean nothin'
'Cause love can pull you deep into a spell
It will spin your mind around like a carousel

I'm telling you love
Boy makes things happen
You never know where it's coming from
You never know who you're gonna love
I'm telling you love makes things happen
You never know what you're gonna do
When ever true love takes hold of you

There's never a time
'Cause love will let you know
Love appears at the worst and even the best of times
Takes over your mind
Your heart is not your own
There's no way of controlling love
It controls your life

Well you could be a faithful girl
With a good heart and good intentions
And you could never leave your home
I swear there ain't no preventions
'Cause love can pull you deep into a spell
It will spin your mind around like a carousel



There's nothing love can't make you do
When love takes hold of you
You can have the purest heart
And the finest attitude
But I swear that don't mean nothin'
When your heart's under the spell
It will spin your mind around like a carousel

I'm telling you love
Makes things happen
You never know where it's coming from
You never know who you're gonna love
I'm telling you love makes things happen
You never know what you're gonna do
When ever true love takes hold of you

You never know
You never know it
You never know
You're never gonna know it
Who you're gonna love
Who you're gonna love - baby

You never know
You never know it
You never know
You're never gonna know it
Who you're gonna know - it

You never know
You never know it
You never know
You never, never, never, never, never know
No, no, no, no
You never know

You never know
You never know it
You never know
You never, never, never, never, never know
No, no, no, no
You never know

You never know
You never know it
You never know
You never, never, never, never, never know
No, no, no, no
You never know

I want a woman I can do things for
Give her the world if she wants it
All things and even more
And anything her little heart desires
There's nothing I wouldn't do
And if she doesn't get quite enough
I'll break down to her knees
Until she screams
Please give me more

Where tell me
Where is my love, tell me
Where
Where is the girl of my dreams
For me
Oh, where is my love

Oh, I'm the kinda man that wants a special girl
To be the only tender in my world
She's the kinda girl that wants a special guy
To love her to the day she dies
Oh honey, the shame about it is
You don't even know I'm out there
Seems like I feel you near
Are you in this room
Will I meet you soon
Oh, please come to me




You know
They say love is a many splendid thing, baby
So complicated, but so good
But you know we
We can't seem to find each other, can we baby
I mean, I'm looking for you
And you're looking for me too, but
I tell you what
I'm gonna keep searching 'til I find you baby, 'cause
I know you're out there somewhere
I won't give up on you baby
Just please come to me now, darlin'

Please tell me

Sugar, sugar

Baby dim the lights
So while I pour the wine
Set the music up nice and slow
Wanna move with you inside a groove
Like no one's ever known
Let your body unwind in the warmth of mine
Tell me what you like
'Cause tonite I wanna turn you up to paradise

Sweet thang hold me close
Share my desire
And we can make the magic flow
Once the music is right

Give me slow jams and hot romance
Rock me with that tender dance
Baby get closer so we can feel the power of love
Share my sweet groove the whole night through
Let me lay my beat on you
We'll keep the music playing movin' in time

Let me get a taste of some Babyface
And you know it'll be alright
'Cause the road that ends at Boyz II Men
Is the road I wanna ride
We can go to the moon on a Stevie tune
Fly ribbons in the sky
Give me everything R. Kelly sings
Let us bump and grind

Baby feel the beat
Here in my heart
Move with me in ecstacy
Let the melody start

Give me slow jams and hot romance
Rock me in that tender dance
I wanna feel the passion so give me all you got
Share my sweet groove the whole night through
Make tonight a dream come true
Let's keep this groove thing going and never never never let it stop

Take this side of your rhythm

When I feel your beat inside my soul

(Remix)
I can't believe I'm here
Down at the Q's Jook Joint (no doubt)
It sure is happenin' y'all (on this remix)
But listening to this music
Kinda makes me think about when I used to listen to slow jams
Back in the day (yeah)
Like Babyface, Whip Appeal (no doubt)
Or R. Kelly, Bump And Grind
But you know what (what?)
Sometimes when I'm just layin' down with my man (yeah)
I get the feelin' I need to hear a little Barry White (no doubt)
Show you right (show you right)
Then there are other times when I just need a little Sexual Healing
Of Marvin Gaye (it's the now, baby)
(Remix)
What about some Teddy Pendergrass? (no doubt)
Close the door and turn out the lights (remix)

Feels so good baby, yeah
Yes (ah)
Yeah baby
(Remix) Baby (Slow Jams, remix)
Baby, oh yeah
(Babyface)

Baby dim the lights
So while I pour the wine

Tell me what you like
'Cause tonite I wanna turn you up to paradise

Sweet thang hold me close
Share my desire
And we can make the magic flow
Once the music is rocking

When I heard that you were looking for a love right away
I knew I was the one
Ain't no point in looking anymore...more
Girl I'm sure 'cause I
I know what you've been missing
And I'm standing here to listen
Girl I will give you undivided attention to your heart
Heart girl I want to

Treat you right
Treat 'cha like a lady
Treat you right
Treat 'cha like my baby
Treat you right
Treat you like the lady you are

Girl we need to be united right now, yeah
Lets' get the fire ignited you'll see
There's no point in waiting anymore...more that's for sure

I wanna give you my kisses girl
I wanna give you my whole damn world
I wanna give you my heart (my heart), my soul (my soul), don't you know

Get this girl, I really wanna get with you girl
I wanna give you my rock, my roll, my sexy soul
Girl I want to



I wanna make you fell like you're in heaven, oh baby, yeah
I wanna make you fall in love forever
Don't you know that

Girl...I wanna be included in your life, baby
Girl come on let's do it tonight, yeah
There is no point in waiting anymore...more
Girl I want to

A summer love is beautiful
But it's not enough
To satisfy emotions
That are shared between us
A winter love is cozy
But I need so much more
It just intensifies my wants
To have a love that endures

'Cause every time I close my eyes
I think of you
And no matter what the season nears
I still love you
With all my heart
And I wanna be with you
Wherever you are

I only think of you on two occasions
That's day and night
I'd go for broke if I could be with you
Only you can make it right

An autumn love is special
At this time of the year
But when the leaves are gone
Does that love disappear
I never underestimate the new love of spring
But I'm glad to say in my heart
I know my love's lasting

'Cause every time I close my eyes
I think of you
And no matter what the season nears
I still love you
With all my heart
And I wanna be with you
Wherever you are



'Cause every time I close my eyes
I think of you
And no matter what the season nears
I still love you
With all my heart
And I wanna be with you
Wherever you are

So many years that you sacrificed
So many chances you let go by
And girl never once did
you complain, no way
And now he's got nerve just to criticize
You let yourself go, like you've got no pride
You do what you do hoping he will stay
The first thing you do is put on your make up
But he doesn't notice a thing
It's not how it's s'posed to be

When men grow old
Do they lose sensitivity
When men grow old
They forget how to love
When men grow old
They have no sense of loyalty
Well if that's how it is
I don't wanna grow anymore

So many nights when you sat alone
He's out with his friends like he's got no home
But you understood that he needed his space
But now it seems like that he's always gone
And he won't admit that
there's something wrong
He finds a young girl who will take your place
The first thing you do,
you go get your hair done
But he doesn't notice a thing
It's not s'posed to be that way



Time after time
Year after year
So many women are drowning in tears
Waiting and hoping and praying for love
Something that most men don't
know the true meaning of
Why can't they just open their hearts,
don't they fall in love
