the ONE 04:19
lyrics
I know I had to let you go But I often ask myself, 'If I was someone else... could you be the.ONE?' How do I give this a try? In the midst of my self-doubt I gotta figure this thing out 'Cuz I think you are the.ONE I feel so ashamed I've only myself to blame Don't know what to do or say To make you wanna stay And I am so afraid How do I give this a try? I have to figure this thing out In the midst of my self-doubt 'Cuz I think you are the.ONE I know how to be alone But you bring me outta my comfort zone Really didn't wanna go thru this again I was doin' alright, but then... [then came you] I know how to be alone And right now I'm outta my comfort zone And you know I didn't wanna go thru this again I was doin' alright, but then... Then came you... How do I give you a try? I have to figure this thing out Baby, there's no doubt I know you are Yes, I know you are I know you are the.ONE Yes, I know you are the.ONE I know you are the.ONE I know you are the.ONE Yes, I know you are the.ONE

Sistah 05:07
lyrics
Sistah, hold onto yourself You're beautiful and like no one else Don't be afraid to over-take the world Sistahgirl, it's all up to you [Did you know it's all up to you?] [CHORUS] Don't stop... Can't nothin' stand in your way Don't give up girl Don't ever believe in the lies of a guy Or the cover of a magazine Come together now Be 'strong and beautiful'... 'Inteligent lady' you are, my sistah... Sistah, I know it's hard [I know it's hard for ya] To be 'daughter'... then 'mother & father' To your child Pure inspiration is flowing from inside you Every minute of every day And don't you forget it, baby! [And don't you forget it] [CHORUS] [BRIDGE] Did you know that There was such power in you??? Even if no one has ever made it clear [No one ever told you?] You're amazing and wonderful and special There's no limit to your grace Let your light shine Don't let anyone dim you out; ...diminish you; mistreat you... Don't ever let anything defeat you [CHORUS] My sistah don't stop... don't stop My sistah don't stop... my sistah! Come together now Be 'strong and beautiful'... 'Inteligent lady' you are, my sistah... Ladies, put your hands up This song's for you Put your hands in the air If you do whatcha gotta do! Ladies, come together now Be 'strong and beautiful'... 'Inteligent lady' you are, my sistah... Oh ahh, oh ahh, oh ahh, oh ahh... Oh ahh, oh ahh, oh ahh... Oh ahh, oh ahh, oh ahh, oh ahh... Just keep goin'... keep movin' And groovin'... you can do it...! [CHORUS]

Bring It Back 04:28
lyrics
It's been a long time after the fact I'm sweatin' like a fool 'cuz I really want you back But you ask me if I'm cool Or am I just crazy? Is this a 'definite' or is it just 'maybe'..? All the things I wish I could have Said to you back then... I say now And I want you to take me serious I was just not willing to be a grown-up And make the choice to settle down... And I wanna get a place for the both of us [CHORUS] Bring back your love... bring it back Bring back your love Bring back your love... Won't you bring it back to me? Bring back your love... It's hard to find someone Who makes you laugh; Someone who makes you wanna dance; Someone who makes you wanna do 'romance' Yeah, and it's hard to find someone Who fits like a glove; Someone who lifts you above All the things that bring you down And I know it took awhile For me to figure out What it's all about And I know you didn't have to be standing by I know you didn't have to wait on me And I apologize for the frustration and your patience Sometimes I ask myself why you'd come back again... But I need you..! [CHORUS] Bring back your love... bring it back Bring back your love Bring back your love... Won't you bring it back to me? Bring back your love... Just bring it back to me Give me your good love Bring it back to me Baby, bring it back to me Your love and your company Let me help fulfill your dreams So proud to have you with me I'll do whatever that I need To make you ultra-happy Whatever you... [Just bring it back] ...you want [Bring it back] Just tell me [Bring it back] [CHORUS]

Cameo Life 05:15
lyrics
This is a story that I've never told In a land far, far away Lazing around like moss on a stone In your world every day is the same Waiting for the light to go underground And I'm waiting on the moon to slow down Maybe tonight we'll hang around And get to know each other awhile But knowing the way of my cameo life We won't get to talkin' tonight Walking your streets and breathing your air Wondering how I ended up there Realizing I have no place in your life But when the night falls I lose all of my pride Waiting for the light to go underground [Can't wait to see you] Waiting for the moon... [Don't wanna leave you] ...to slow down Maybe tonight we'll hang around And get to know each other awhile [Just a little while] But knowing the ways of my cameo life We won't get to talkin' tonight Does it get easier? Tell me what I'll do In the days and the hours Of practice being with you Will I ever learn to be as cold As masterfully as you can be... ...taking the last of your love? And leave you empty... And leave you lonely... And leave you without me... Maybe it's you with someone on the side Do you see him when you look into my eyes Sometimes I feel you're the best I can do And I deserve what I get from you Waiting for light... to go underground [I gotta see you] And I'm waiting on the moon... [And I hate to leave you] ...to slow down Maybe tonight we'll hang around And get to know each other this time [Just a little while] But knowing the ways of my cameo life We won't get to talkin' tonight Maybe tonight we'll hang around And get to know each other for awhile [Maybe we will] But knowing the ways of my cameo life We won't get to talkin' tonight

Believe In Me 04:35
lyrics
Who am I if I just Let time pass by? And what I know... There's no promise of tomorrow Just believe in me There's one promise I can keep I'll fight to be with you And I'll do everything I must do Dry your eyes And don't believe all the lies Uncertainty is there And I know you must be scared Believe in me There's one promise I can keep I'll fight to be with you And I'll do all the things I must do Believe... have faith in me... I'll spend my last dime And I'll work day and night To do everything I can [everything I am] To show you the man I am You'll know the tears that I've cried And you'll know how desperately I tried You'll know... Believe in me There is one promise I can keep And I'll fight to be with you And I'll do what I must do Yes I will Yes I will Yes I will Yes I will Yes I will

Come On Over 03:49
lyrics
Just after daylight So glad that you called tonight Baby, I know you've had a really long week Won't you come over? Let me rub your feet I just love when you hang with me Watch a little TV... listen to a CD... Are you lookin for something good tonight? Are you lookin for something good tonight? And you just can't find anything you like... Come on over to my life Can I make a suggestion? Let me show you some affection Why don't you meet me at the take-out place Follow me home in the Escalade A little red wine... it's a date... Do you hear what I'm sayin'? I want you to come over Don't matter what time I really don't care Come on over I'll be here In the middle of the night Under the night sky Feel that ocean breeze Makin' love on the balcony

Nothing 2 See 04:46
lyrics
Was that you at my door? The man you seek don't live here no more I'm not the same man you left with 20 bucks and some change You're looking well... I fight the urge to say, 'Please go to hell..!' So when did he leave? and why do you keep running back to me? Now that I'm back on my feet... I don't blame you 'cuz I've been so weak I've got someone who's mine and everything you told me I'd never find Move along... nothing 2 see here Move along... nothing 2 see Pendulum chandeliers... animals and ringleaders... Earthquakes... my bed shakes at night Fireworks... I am loved beyond the earth, the moon, and the stars in the sky I'm satisfied... very nice try but you're wasting your time Thanks for apologies... I wish you well... now you must leave... Move along... nothing 2 see here Move along... nothing 2 see Move along... nothing 2 see here Move along... nothing 2 see Six months ago I may have let you in To eventually destroy my life again Like the Ferris wheel you take me high But what goes around soon comes crashing down Forget me... ignore me... no, I'm not made of money It was you who used to say to me I had nothing How can you be wrong? MOVE ON!

I'll Wait 04:41
lyrics
Imagine running into you... My favorite restaurant... sittin’ in my favorite booth I'm fine... how do you do? Whoa... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be rude Why don't you introduce me to your date? Sorry, brotha... didn't catch your name... Nice to meet ya, do you mind if I interrupt for a minute? Be right over here in case you wonder where we went You got me sittin’ out in the cold dark alleyway You got me standin’ out in the cold wet rain You got me wishin’ I never laid eyes on you again But it's too late... I'll wait... I'll wait Baby, I don't wanna waste your time Just wanna pull you aside Is he the best that you could do? [oh, hell no..!] Don't you get used to him, 'cuz I'm waitin' on you You got me sittin’ out in the cold dark alleyway You got me standing out in the cold wet rain You got me wishin’ I never laid eyes on you again But it's too late... I'll wait... I'll wait I didn't know how serious you were gettin’ this time The nerve you got... it really blows my mind I don't believe in two short weeks you find someone new And since I don't believe then I won't cause a scene 'Cuz I know I'll be hearing from you Just tell me what you want from me You got the ring!.. what else can I sing? My pride is gone... the nights are long Without you I ain't got nothin' My heart is wide... my mind is gone My house is not a home no more 14 days and I'm still alone You're goin’ out on dates... but I'll wait... I'll wait on you... I'll wait on you... No matter however long... I’ll wait No matter 'right or wrong'... I’ll wait No matter what anybody says... I’ll wait Nobody can take your place... I’ll wait

So Good To Me 04:22
lyrics
I love the way you make me feel I don't ever want it to change It feels so good to me It feels so good to me It feels so good to me It feels so good to me Can you hear my heartbeat? Clearly, only you can do this to me It feels so good to me The way you do me The way you love me Darling, you are so good to me Just to hold you in my arms Makes me feel so safe and warm The way you make love to me And when you kiss me When you believe in me When you encourage me When you say it like that! When you say that you wanna have my baby It feels so good to me...

Walk Away 04:47
lyrics
I wake up with you every morning on my mind [Every day I wake up with you on my mind] Glued to the bathroom mirror and I can't get out [I can't even get to work on time] I look so good right now and it's you-who got me feelin' this way [You got me feelin' myself today] I really never paid attention from day to day You know you got me feelin' great It's gotta be the love we made Yes, you got me runnin' late I'm lookin' at myself in the mirror... I used to brush my teeth, yeah... I just walk away [Walk away, Walk away] Brush my hair, yeah... I just walk away [Walk away, Walk away] Button my shirt, yeah... [Walk away] You know you're makin' me feel so handsome today You got me lookin' in the mirror [I can't walk away] Just check the bounce in my step as I walk across the floor Watch me light up a room when I walk inside the door [I'm usually hiding in the back...] And my 6-pack is gone... and I really need to buy a new car [Ain't livin' like a superstar] But I'm in heaven when you say, 'Baby, I love you the way you are!' You know you got me feelin' great Must be the love we made You got me runnin' late Givin' myself a 'double-take' now... ['Cuz I'm doin' 'double-takes' now] [CHORUS] [BRIDGE] I love that you really think that I'm 'tha-bomb' I can be who I am and, no matter what, your love is strong When the day gets long I can call you up And I'm all fixed up so much better than I was I love you think that I'm 'tha-bomb' I can be who I am and, no matter what, your love is strong And when the day gets long, baby, I can call you up [And sometimes I gotta git a little bit o' you...] And I'm all fixed up...I'm so 'in love'

Run 04:41
lyrics
I have come to my senses I'm ready to move ahead And if you wanna go with me You'd better pack your bags quickly And I'm not waiting anymore I woke up this morning... feet hit the floor And all I could see was a open door To my destiny You got to run, run, run! You got to run, run, run! You got to run, run! If you wanna catch me now... I could sure use the company But, will you be here by the time I leave You know I love you with all my heart But I'm heading for a new start I realize I've got all I need No longer afraid of anything Today I've hit the ground running Do you think that you can keep up with me? [CHORUS x3] You gotta run... Run, run, run, run, run, run, run... You'd better run... Run, run, run, run, run, run, run... You'd better run... Run, run, run, run, run, run, run... You gotta run... [BRIDGE] I gotta go... do you wanna go? Don't you wanna go with me? 'Cuz if you're not ready I'ma rock steady so you better get outta my way! It's my life and I've gotta right to move on No, you won't catch me! Look for me and I'll be gone You better run! If you wanna be with me If you wanna be in my life If you'd like to hold me.. If you're gonna know me... If you wanna show me you can hang...

Beat Goe Zon 03:42
lyrics
Good morning, sleepyhead Time for you to get up outta' bed Gotta' rise and shine! Unwind from the loss of your time The beat goes on... Beat goe zon... life goes on Beat goe zon... life goes on Beat goe zon... life goes on The beat goes, 'boom, boom, boom!' It's so hard to get back on my feet And I really don't know what I need Wishin' my baby came back to me Hurt me so bad dropped me to my knees Time goes by and I don't even care Gotta' get myself together.. So what am I gonna do? Hold my breath 'til I turn blue? I still got air to breathe Standing on my two feet I gotta keep movin' Dancin' to the beat of the drum Start doin' my thang (right now) Stop worrying (right now) Stop procrastinating (right now) Start celebrating The beat goes, 'boom, boom, boom!' The beat goes on...

OutTheBox 05:37
lyrics
You don't know who I am if I don't make it known [...and let's assume that you believe me] And if I want you to know me I think I better tell you so [I gotta show you what I'm all about] Or if I wanna grow in my business Don't wanna be someone's side-kick forever And I know how to do it [I need to use what I got...] Whatever's in me... I need to use it Time is tickin'... meter's runnin'... Sands in the hourglass just keep on comin' World is turnin'... dynamite stick is burnin'... Whatcha waitin' on?... I think I'm ready for my solo Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah... comin' out the box Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah... out the box Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah... I'm comin' out the box [I'm comin' outta, gettin' outta, thinkin' outta] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah And I believe that's all it takes to get anywhere [Gotta believe in myself] I spent years defining myself based on how much I make [in] a year I shoulda, I woulda, I coulda... if I only knew how to get out of my own way But if you know what I know right now... it's never to late Time's a tickin'... meter's runnin'... Sands in the hourglass just keep on comin' [You know I'm ready for my solo now] World is turnin'... dynamite stick is burnin'... [You know I'm ready for my close-up now] What's the hold-up?... It's time for my close-up I have so much in me that I can share with the world [with everybody] [Yeah, you know I have so much to give inside... I got so much to give] But I locked it up and threw away the key I've got too much love for one heart... I got too much heart for one soul [I've got] too much soul for one man... Do you hear what I'm sayin'?

Slow... 04:43
lyrics
I don't wanna miss one minute... Not one second... not an instant And you know I've been waiting For what appears is right here Feels like seven years And I want to feel your every kiss Your full intent... the amazement of you And I can give emotionally and Physically what you need Slow... with time You take yours... and I'll take mine Slow... sweet liberty With your love right thru me Slow... but waste no time I'll take yours... you take mine Carry me on your wings And I trust in you... make me sing high c's and d - e - f - g's Write the book on pleasing me I will illustrate... and I will sign my name On every single page to indicate This worked for me And you should try this for yourself at home With the one you love... just take it slow Is this a dream... could you be here embracing me? I close my eyes... and I feel your touch And your sweet mythology You are so real... as I imagined you would be And I'm not alone... I think of you At my door... and off the phone... in my home

WAYOUT 04:47
lyrics
What will they ever do about me? I may cause the world to go up in flames I'm dangerous! [Did you know I'm dangerous?] At least that's what they're sayin' A man with a 'voice' talkin' about anything... [Now you can sit down and shut up; you can go to the back now!] I've been asleep with the world at my feet For way too long Letting others speak for me; ...handing over the microphone And let them sing my song... Why do I feel I'm sneakin' around Goin' outta my way... goin' WAYOUT to be invisible? WAYOUT... goin' outta the way... All my life I'm hidin' out Goin' outta my way... goin' WAYOUT to be insignificant! Crazy WAYOUT Non-threatening and quietly Surpress myself as if I've done somethin' hellacious! Oh, I like to eat... and the color green And somehow that makes me Scandalously the same as ALL...! I should be walkin' tall, but... Sometimes I've heard people say I'm never going to amount to anything What if I believe... what if I believe... What if I believe them... and I Don't believe in my-- don't believe in my-- Don't believe in myself? Why do I feel I'm sneakin' around Goin' outta my way... goin' WAYOUT to be invisible? You know I'm goin' WAYOUT ...outta the way All my life I'm hidin' out Goin' outta my way... goin' WAYOUT to be insignificant! (x2) You know, I'm never gonna be that way again! I can be anything I want to be in this country And I don't know why... (I) let my life Pass me by... sittin' on the sideline Oh, I can be anything I want to be in this country And I don't know why... I let my life Just pass me by... sittin' on the sideline Why do I feel I'm sneakin' around Goin' outta my way... goin' WAYOUT to be invisible? I'm goin' WAYOUT ...outta my way [...outta the way] All my life I'm hidin' out [yeah] Goin' outta my way... goin' WAYOUT to be insignificant! You know, it's never gonna be that way again! You know, it's never gonna be that way again! You will never never see me that way again...!
