Heartbreaker

Gimme your love
   --(16x in background until start of first verse)

Verse 1:
Oh you look so good
I don't wanna let go
And although I should
I can't leave you alone
'Cause your so disarming
I'm caught-up in the midst of you
and I cannot resist at all

VB1: 
Boy if I do
The things you want to do
The way I used to do
Could you love me baby
Or leave me feeling used
Would you go and break
My heart?

Chorus 1:
Heartbreaker
you've got the best of me
but I just keep on coming back
incessantly
Oh why did you have to 
run your game on me?
I should have known 
right from the start
you'd go and break my heart

(Gimme your love)--8x

Verse 2:
It's a shame to be
so euphoric and weak
when you smile at me
and you tell me the things
that you know persuade
me to relinquish my love 
to you
but I cannot resist at all

Verse 1

Chrous

(JAY-Z RAP):
OK
Cool
Alright
Yo
She wanna shop wit Jay
play box wit Jay
She wanna pillowfight in the middle of the night
She wanna drive my Benz with five of her friends
She wanna creep past the block, spyin' again

She wanna roll wit Jay, chase skeeos away
She wanna fight wit lame chicks, blow my day
She wanna respect the rest, kick me to the curb
if she find one strand a hair longer than hers

She want
make love in the Jacuzzi
Rub up in the movies
Access to the old crib, 
keys to da newbie

She wanna
answer the phone
tatoo her arm
last one I got her
sent it back to her mom

She call me  Heartbreaker
when we apart it makes her
wanna piece of paper,
scribble down "I hate ya"

But she know she love Jay because
she love everything Jay say Jay does, and a...

Outro:
Heartbreaker
You got the best of me
But I just keep on coming back
Incessantly
Oh why did you have to 
Run your game on me
I should have known
Right from the start
You'd go and break my heart

Can't Take That Away (Mariah's Theme)

They can say anything they
want to say
Try to bring me down
But I will not allow
Anyone to succeed
Hanging clouds over me
And they can try had to make me feel
That I don't matter at all
But I refuse to falter
In what I believe 
Or lose faith in my dreams

CHORUS:
'Cause there's a light in me
That shines brightly
They can try
But they can't take that away from me
From me

They can do anything they want to you
If you let them in
But they won't ever win
If you clink to your pride
And just push them aside
See
I have learned there's an inner
pease  I own
Something in my soul
That they cannot posses
So I won't be afraid 
And darkness will fade

'Cause there's a light in me
That shines brightly
They can try 
But they can't take that away from me

No
They can't take this
Precious love
I'll always have inside me
Certainly the Lord will guide me
Where I need to go

They can say anything they want to 
say
Try to break me down
But I won't face the ground
I will rise steadily 
Sailing out of their reach

Oh Lord They do try hard to make me feel
That I don't matter at all
But I refuse to falter
In what I believe
Or lose faith in my dreams

'Cause there's a light in me
That shines brightly
But they can't take that away from me
From me

Bliss

Touch me baby
If feels so amazing
And you stimulate me
And you make me want you
More and more

What do I do
What do I say
Does it feel good
To you this way
I wanna be
All that you need
Boy what's your fantasy?
Better hold on, ready or not
Baby my love ain't gonna stop
Take it down low
Make me get high

CHORUS:
Ooh my love goes
On and on and on and on and on
My love goes
On and on and on and on and on (x2)
See, all my love's for you

Baby don't you rush me, no
You got to take it slow 
Just let the feeling grow
Until it overflows
Anyway you want it now
Just gotta tell me how
To give you everything 
You've even dared to dream

Isn't it bliss
You be right now
Don't be subdued
Say it out loud
Ain't it sweet
Luscious delight
When you're immersed in my
Ocean of love
Coming on strong
Baby I've been waiting so long 
Revel inside of paradise

REPEAT CHORUS

So
Gimme some pure delectable love
Like I'm gonna give to you
Keep coming around
'Cause I won't run out
I can't get enough of you
My love goes on

REPEAT CHORUS

All my love's for you

How Much

The way I feel for you
I can't describe
It's almost too intense
To verbalize
Essentially you're all
I'm living for
And basically each day
I need you more and more

CHORUS:
Have you ever been so enamored
baby
That's how much I love you
All I need in this life, you see
Is me and my boyfriend
Have you ever felt lost
When you know you gotta leave me
That's how much I love you
Love is yours and mine
'Till the very end
Just me and my boyfriend

Don't underestimate the love in me
It's obvious there feelings run so deep
I fall and fall for you day after day
Nobody else could ever take you
place

REPEAT CHORUS

You don't gotta waste your time and worry
You don't gotta look for reassurance
'Cause clearly you're the only one 
that's getting this and
Sugar I don't need nobody else
But you
And honey I ain't letting go too soon
Because I can't get enough
Why you asking how much?
It's more than you can handle baby

REPEAT CHORUS

After Tonight

I look at you looking at me
Feels like a feeling meant to be
And as your body moves with mine
It's like I'm lifted out of mine

And time again
Patiently I've waited
For this moment to arrive

CHORUS 1:
After tonight
Will  you remember 
How sweet and tenderly
You reached for me
And pulled me close
After you go
Will you return to love me
After tonight begins to fade

I feel your touch caressing me
This feeling's all I'll ever need
With every kidd from your sweet lips
It's like I'm drifting out of time

Alone will tell
If you feel the way I feel
When I look in your eyes

CHORUS 2:
After tonight
Will  you remember 
How sweet and tenderly
You reached for me
And pulled me close
After you go
Will you return to love me
After the night becomes the day

Time
And time and time again
So patiently I've waited
For this moment to arrive

CHORUS 3:
After tonight
Will  you remember 
How sweet and tenderly
You reached for me
And pulled me close
After you go
Will you return to love me
After the night becomes the day
After tonight begins to fade

X-Girlfriend

CHORUS:
Ex-girlfriend you can't have him
It's about time
That you found a new man
He's moved on
Don't you know, don't you know
You gotta let him go
Let him go, let him go
Ex-girlfriend you don't listen
Stop trying 
He's not gonna give in
He's not yours anymore
Don't you know
You gotta let him go
Let him go, let him go

Hey ex-girlfriend
It's too bad when you had him
Y'all thing didn't work
But he's all mine now
So stop pursuing him
Before you get your feelings hurt
See out love is hot
And no, it won't stop
'Cause I got him on lock
And although he rejects you 
It don't seem to affect you
'Cause you just keep trying
To get wit him

So don't, don't keep, keep calling
Hanging up the phone
When I answer I know it
Tears you up inside and
Why do you sit in silence 
On the other end
'Till I hang up and you
Predictably call right back again

REPEAT CHORUS

Hey ex-girlfriend
Whatever your name is
I'm really not amused
'Cause the things you do
Are very offensive
And sometimes straight up rude
All those late night calls and notes
On his car
Won't get you anywhere
You can call his mom
As much as you want
And he won't really care

So don't, don't keep, keep calling
Hanging up the phone
When I answer I know it
Tears you up inside and
Why do you sit in silence 
On the other end
'Till I hang up and you
Predictably call right back again

REPEAT CHORUS

I understand why
You want him back
But don't you know
Our love's too strong
For you to penetrate
It's too late
He's not your baby no more

Against All Odds (Take A Look At Me Now)

How can I just let you walk away
Just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking 
Every breath with you
You're the only one
Who really knew me at all
How can you just walk away from me
When all I can do is watch you leave
'Cause we've shared the laughter and the pain
And even shared the tears
You're the only one
Who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now
Oh there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
Take a look at me now
'Cause there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against all odds
And that's what I've got to face

I wish I could just make you turn around
Turn around and see me cry
There's so much I need to say to you
So many reasons why
You're the only one
Who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now
'Cause there's just an empty space 
And there's nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
Take a look at me now
'Cause there's just an empty space
But to wait for you is
All I can do
And that's what I've got to face
Take a good look at me now
'Cause I'll still be standing here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
That's the chance I've got to take

Take a look at me now

Cry Baby

When I think of our untimely end
And everything we could have been
I cry, baby I cry

Ok so it's 5 am and
I still can't sleep
I took some medicine 
But it's not working
Someone's clinging to me
And it's bittersweet
'Cause he's head over heels
But it ain't that deep
I finally changed my number
Got a different pager
Then last Saturday
Your cousin called to say you're 
Tryin' to reach me
Probably because you see that
I'm with someone new

CHORUS:
Late at night like a little child 
Wandering around alone in my new friend's home
On my tippy toes
So that he won't know
I still cry baby
Over you and me

Sippling Bailey's Cream
By the stereo
Trying to find relief 
On the radio
I'm suppressing the tears
But they start to flow
'Cause the next song I hear
Is a song I wrote
When we first got together
Early that September
I can't bear to listen
So I might as well drift
In the kitchen
Our another glass or two
And try to forget you

REPEAT CHORUS

SNOOP'S VERSE

REPEAT CHORUS (3x)
Back to the top of the page.

Did I Do That

I really hope
When you hear this song
That you're happy
With someone new
I found a love I can call my own
And I owe it in part to you

Don't you know that you seem 
Just a little crazy you had my trust and intimacy
But you threw it away just threw it away
And now it's all in the past
When I think of you
I just laugh
My friends must have though
I was high to have given so much
To someone not worth my time

CHORUS
Funny how sometime 
You can really lose your mind 
And things you would never do
You rhapsodize
And get caught up in the hype
'Till your sense return to you
Love plays you for a fool

You were so insecure
And your crew was so immature
Conversations, painfully weak
You were much better off
When you didn't speak
But boy to tell you the truth
It was my illusion of you
Being somehow destined for me
That had me in a daze
But we're not the same in truth

REPEAT CHORUS

I really hope when you hear this song
That you know it was meant for you
Though your attention span'tspan's not that long
Try to do the best you can do!

Petals

I've often wondered if there's
Ever been a perfect family
I've always longed for undividedness
And sought stability

A flower taught me how to pray
But as I grew, that flower changed 
She started flailing in the wind
Like golden petals scattering


CHORUS 1:
And I miss you dandelion
And even love you
And I wish there was a way 
For me to trust you
But it hurts me every time
I try to touch you 
But I miss you dandelion
And even love you

I gravitated towards a patriarch
So young predictably
I was resigned to spend my life
With a maze of misery

A boy and a girl befriended me
We're bonded through despondency
I stayed so long but finally
I fled to save my sanity

CHORUS 2:
And I miss you little sis and
Little brother
And I hipe you realize
I'll always love you
And although you're struggling
You will recover
And I miss you little sis and
Little brother

So many I considered 
Closest to me
Turned on a dime and sold me 
Out dutifully
Although that knife was chipping
Away at me
They turned their eyes away and
Went home to sleep...

CHORUS 3:
And I missed a lot of life
But I'll recover
Though I know you really like
To see me suffer
Still I wish that you and I'd
Forgive each other
'Cause I miss you, Valentine
And really loved you

I really loved you
I tried so hard
But you drove me away
To preserve my sanity
And I found the strength
To break away
Fly...

Rainbow (Interlude)

I know there is a rainbow
For me to follow
To get beyond my sorrow
Thunder precedes the sunlight
So I'll be alright
If I can find that
Rainbow's end

I will be alright
If I can find that
Rainbow's end
Back to the top of the page.

Thank God I Found You

I would give everything
Before I 'd separate
Myself from you
After so much suffering
I finally fond unvarnished truth
I was all by myself
For the longest time
So cold inside
And the hurt from the heartache
Would not subside 
I felt like dying
Until you saved my life

CHORUS:
Thank God I found you
I was lost without you
My every wish and every dream
Somehow became reality
When you brought the sunlight
Completed my whole life
I'm overwhelmed with gratitude 
My baby I'm so thankful
I found you

I will give you everything 
There's nothing in this world
I wouldn't do
To insure you're happiness
I cherish every part of you
'Cause without you beside me
I can't survive
Don't want to try
If you're keeping me warm
Watch and every night
I'll be alright
Because I need you in my life

REPEAT CHORUS

See I was so desolate
Before you came to me
Looking back I guess
It shows that we were
Destined to shine
After the rain, to appreciate
The gift of what we have
And I'd go through it all over again
To be able to feel this way

REPEAT CHORUS
